Why won't the full song play?

why won't the full song play? It plays the first 11 seconds on EVERY device then skips to the next song. It's Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

Hi bsiria,
If you are having an issue with one or more songs not playing completely, you may want to troubleshoot this by using the steps in this arcticle -
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Specifically -
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
... and then click OK.
Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Why are certain sound files not playing correctly in iTunes?

I have had iTunes for years and have never had prolonged or unsolvable problems with anything playback related until now. I recently acquired some music, and it plays perfectly when I use WMP. When I added it my iTunes library, however, the audio is compressed during playback and there is a lot of skipping and blips going on in every song. It still plays perfectly in WMP, but not matter what I do the same thing happens in iTunes.
For reference, here is what the original audio songs like

And here is what it sounds like in iTunes

I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

In iTunes, go to edit-->preferences. Click the advanced tab, then the importing tab. Change import using to AAC Encoder and set it to high quality. Click OK.
Now highlight all the songs in the album in iTunes. Right click one, making sure all remain highlighted, and go to convert selection to AAC. See if it converts them. Do these converted versions go onto the iPod?

Why wont any of my songs start at the beginning?

Please someone tell me how to get my iphone 4 to play songs without starting 7 or so seconds into the song. And then it jumps back to the beginning. It plays my songs totally muddled up and I dont know why. I have been searchinbg the net for hours but all I ever find it is ""Remember Playback Position" not being checked" This box has never been checked to start with so this is NOT what is causing my problem.
On my iphone it shows that the song starts at "0" seconds, at the beginning of the bar. But it doesnt. |It starts at a totally different stage of the song. After a few seconds it then plays th ebeginning ofthe song! The samething happens with my childs Ipod. How can we get this sorted?

A simple Reset will often resolve many issues...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

How do i Only burning certain parts of songs to disc (like a mix)?

I just want to burn like 45 seconds of a song to a disc (for a basketball warm up mix) and i can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks for your help, I would never have had any idea how to do it myself. After experimenting with your information, I found the order was - R click song, Get Info, Options, Choose start/stop time for the bit you want, tick boxes, Click OK, then create New Playlist from File, Drag and Drop the song into the new playlist, play the song from the New Playlist and it should work.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Why won't a few songs play on my 7th generation ipod nano?

They do play on my itunes,but I wanted to listen to them on my ipod and they look like they want to play,but they skip to the next song before it would even start.I've tried it many times,but they will not play on my ipod at all.Any helpful advice?

I would to a Restore. Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the Summary tab for the iPod. There is a button there to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod. All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar. To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

Why won't the whole song play that I just purchased from iTunes?

I just purchased 23 new songs from the iTunes store. There are quite a few of them that will not play the entire song before moving to the next song. For example, the one song reads that it is 3:24 long yet it will only play for the first 1:11. It then switches to the next song in the playlist no matter what I do. What is wrong???

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Why do certain .mpg files not play in Quicktime?

....and will these files play on a IPod Video? The files that this has happened to have had .mpg file extensions and the message I get is that it is not a file Quicktime can understand.

They may be mpeg-2, which sometimes has the .mpg extension. Try this freeware viewer: VLC
I am pretty sure mpeg-2 will not play on the iPod and for that matter I don't believe mpeg-1 will play on it either.
You can try converting mpegs to iPod with this freeware, although it does require the Apple mpeg2 component if the mpeg is mpeg2. Mpeg StreamClip

HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

ITunes plays music, iPod loses some parts of song

I imported a Beatles CD into my iTunes folder and it plays exactly like the CD. Then when I transferred the music into my iPod, I noticed that certain parts (guitar chords, etc.) were missing from the songs.
Can anyone explain what's wrong? I appreciate any help!

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
