Why wont my songs play all the way through

Hi,
I bought the Fall Out Boy PaxAm Days album a few months ago and it the songs wouldn't play on the computer I purchased them on. So today I tried a different computer and they all downloaded but half of the songs will not play all the way through. I'm perturbed that I can't play them or get my 5 dollars back.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello GHarchack,
It sounds like you made a purchase from the iTunes Store and downloaded the songs but they will not all play the entire way through. It sounds like the files in question may not have downloaded completely. Try deleting the affected songs from your computer:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
Then you can redownload them from your purchased history usign the following article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click its Download button .
If the issue persists I would reach out to our iTunes Support team directly with the following article:

Why won't songs play all the way

Updated to the new IO5, and now my songs won't fully play in Music on my iphone 4. What is the fix?

have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps recommended in the User Guide (restart, reset, restore)?

Songs on my iTouch are not playing all the way through

Hello,
I have an iTouch 5th generation. The songs on it are not playing all the way through or simply do not play for the entire duration of song. The songs that do not play all the way through leaves the rest of the song being 'played' with no sound. Another problem is that the current song will stop playing in the beginning, middle, or the end and another song starts. The next song will begin play while the current song continues to play, but with the current song having an absence of sound. It's kind of hard to describe. All of this started to happen after my iTouch crashed and I had to restore it. There is also another thing that factors into this problem. Most of the songs that are not working are the ones that I have bought from iTunes. I have also discovered that there are some other songs that I have downloaded from CDs that are not working, as well. The songs that I have bought from iTunes and have downloaded from CDs work properly on my other iPod and on my computer. So, I am thinking that the problem lies with the iTouch, itself.
Some of the things that I have tried are taking all of the music off of my itouch and then reloading it again on it. That did not work. Then I figured that I would load a single playlist with a problematic album. This did not work. I then tried taking that playlist off and then reloaded all of my library onto my iTouch. That didn't work either. Another issue is that I don't know if I can redownload the music that I bought off of iTunes to correct the problem. Another issue that goes along with this is that I had bought all of my music on another computer. I don't know if that makes a difference, but, again, I really don't think it is the songs that are the problem.
I have also made sure that my computer doesn't go to sleep when I load my music onto my iTouch and that my external (which stores my entire music library) does not go to sleep.
All of my apps work and everything else seems fine.
I really cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

Songs not playing all the way through.

When playing songs in iTunes, whether bought in iTunes or not, sometimes the song stops playing with 30 seconds left and goes to the next song. Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

SOLVED.
For a purchased song from iTunes that wont play all the way through, I did this:
Deleted the file from iTunes, including iCloud (if you have it)
Went back to trash and removed it to the desktop and re-added it back into iTunes.
File that did play only 1:23 of 3:00 mins now plays all the way through without skipping ahead/cutting off the rest of the song.
Synced re-imported song back to iPod and it plays perfectly. Can't believe this hasnt been figured out yet! Or even Apple support suggesting this.
The hard part is figuring out which songs do this as I only discovered the tracks by random shuffle and thought wth? Why wont it finish playing? Good luck guys. Hope this helps.
Did you notice if the problem was with imported tracks or purchased only tracks? It seems all mine were purchased tracks from the iTunes store with the extension .m4p

I bought an album and some of the songs do not play all the way through. How can this be fixed or how can I get my money back?

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

HT1349 My songs in iTunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC or my iPod?

My songs in itunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC

Quicktime Player should already be installed on the Mac. If you transferred Quicktime from a VAIO it will not run on a Mac -- no PC software will without using a special interface.
Right click or control+click on one of the files, then > Open with Quicktime Player.
I already suspect that since these files will not play completely on any of your devices that you have an incomplete download.

I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch. Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
This happens for Youtube videos also.
I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
Very important to uninstall the old first.
Uninstall > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Then reinstall new from here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then restart your Mac.

MP4 crated in CC LR will not play all the way through.

I created an MP4 on CC LR that will not play all the way through on my web site. When I play it on our site it shows the first three images (there are a total of 26) and then starts over and yet when I play it from my Desktop it works perfectly. You can see the problem at www.oldeworldelace.com/Custmers-lace-panels.html. I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

I have tried that setting but then the whole show is messed up, some pictures freeze and some just zip through. If i only choose one song it will repeat for the entire show, if I pick 3 songs only 2 will play and the rest of the show is silent.
