Wont play some tracks

My ipod touch will not play some of the tracks that I downloaded to it, what I have checked is that I can play them on itunes (so nothing wrong with the files, or privileges), I have checked the setting on the ipod for the restriction controls which are all off. I tried downloading the tracks again with no success, anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

I am also experiencing this problem with my new iPod Touch, and I have followed the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1510 to no avail. Does anyone have a recommendation that will fix this? I am beginning to believe it is a defect in the iPod software and that it needs to be addressed in a new release.

Ipod classic 30G stops playing some tracks

ipod classic 30G stops playing some tracks. Starts again when I skip to next track.

Do those SAME tracks play play properly and completely when you play them in iTunes (on your computer)?

Itunes wont play some of my songs...and it used to!

I had to reinstall windows ... as i have done several times in the past.. and when i added my music folder, which is on an external HD, over 500 songs wont add to the library. they will play in QT and WMP but not in itunes. when clicked itunes will open but then nothing...doesnt even show the song in the list.
Here is an example of a song that will not play, show up, or anything:
21 guns - Greenday
mp3 audio
8.66 MB
Protected - NO
Duration - 0:06:12
bit rate - 224kbps
channels - 2(stereo)
audio sample rate - 44kHz
i thought maybe something happened to all the songs around the same date but thats a no go. i have advanced mp3 catalog pro to organize my music and it has id3 editor v.2 but i use that for ALL my music not just these songs that now wont play. i tried removing the tag completely and recreating it and that also did not work. i have unintalled all itunes, apple, and quicktime applications and reinstalled ...still nothing. what now?

If you don't mind a little brute force, convert them to WAV and then back to MP3:
Use a 3rd party tool such as Switch to convert them to WAV. The conversion to WAV will wipe out every peculiarity of tags, etc (WAV is essentially just pure PCM-encoded music). Put the WAV into your iTunes library, make sure it plays, and then use iTunes to convert it to MP3.

Ipod wont play some tunes

I can't play some tunes on my ipod, any ideas?

I had this problem too, through screwing around I learned this. Sometimes, only AAC versions play on an Ipod. What I did was, delete the songs that didn't play from my playlists. Then I went into the songs portion of my Itunes library and right clicked on the song that did not previously play. After right clicking and getting a drop down menu, I clicked on create AAC version. A copy of that song then appeared below the original. After the AAC version was created the copy changed from a light black title to a full black title and the Itunes library gave me that "bling" sound effect. I then played the AAC copy to see if it was a true copy, it was, so I put the AAC version back onto my playlist. I then installed my Ipod shuffle, and also tried on my Nano and synced. The songs that previously did not play now did play. I then deleted the original copy in the songs list and kept the AAC version. (Don't know if deleting the original was a good idea or not, but did not want two copies of the songs, and didn't notice a difference in quality. Maybe Neil Young would notice but I couldn't . Good luck, and try out the Groovelectric podcast on Itunes. Peace out.

How can I get round problem with itunes. I get message saying computer isnt authorised to play some tracks Ive downloaded, tells me to authorise which I do, then a message appears saying the computer is already authorised but I still cant access the track

how can I get round the problem I have with itunes. I have bought and downloaded various tracks to my library. When I try to sync my iphone from my PC I get a message on screen saying that it is not authorised to play them and tells me to authorise the computer by clicking store, entering apple id and password then clicking authorise this computer. I do that then get a message saying that my computer is already authorised yet when I try syncing the track again the same thihng happens. Im getting nowhere!

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
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.

Trouble playing some tracks

There are a few tracks that play wrong on my iPod nano 6g. For example - there os a track, that lasts 4:15, but it ends on 0:32 then hops on 0:29 and starts a new track, but info of the track doesn't change.

Go to control panel. Switch to classic view on the left. go to autoplay. choose windows media player on DVD movies.

Wont play some audio

OK, so I installed itunes, and i want to watch a podcast, or any video for that matter, and it will play the video fine, jsut wth out any sound, Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times, any suggestions?

Actually, there might be something else, I just remembered ... http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/ipodresetutility104forwi ndows.html
You probably have already done that ... but I forgot to tell you about this in the first post. I`m just thinking a restor through this method might work ...

Zen Stone Plus wont play some mu

My player is only playing about a third of the songs that is on the player
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've just started to find out how we can use folders as playlists on the Zen Stone Plus. So I started to create a couple of folders in the root directory of the Stone Plus. However it seems like I cant create more than 4 folders, so that's kinda like saying I can only have 4 playlists. Am I doing something wrong or is there really such a limitation for this mp3 player?

I have authorised my computer but it still wont play some of my purches

I bought songs this morning and went to burn them to a cd and out of 15 only 6 songs would work. I tried to play the songs that wouldn't burn and it tells me the computer i am trying to play the song with is not authorised to play the song. it askes me for my apple id and my pass word. i put them in and and tells me that my computer is now one of the 5 availble authorised to play this purchas. so i try again to play it and it tells me again that my computer is not authorised to play the song. What do i do? I have deauthorised and reauthorised the computer a couple of times. Restarted the computer and logged in and out of ituens. nothing has worked so far.

Delete and redownload those songs if doing so is free in your country.

How to get batch recognition of (!) on some tracks after moving library from external hard drive to new iMac (with terabyte hard drive)?

I'm using Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.2
I have moved my iTunes music from an external hard drive onto my new iMac (with a terabyte hard drive) with music folder organized - when I try to play some tracks I get the iTunes can't locate warning and so I follow through and show iTunes the track - they are all in the music folder on my iMac hard drive - they all copied over and they all appear in the iTunes library list - so far as I can tell out of a 500 gigabyte music collection - but there are so many giving me the error - many other tracks function as they should too, some work others don't - So I'm looking for a way to get all the error tracks fixed in a batch correction way. Doing this individually with each track just isn't realistic.
Can anyone suggest how I might fix this issue?
Also, after I show iTunes the song location and it plays, I get a find files prompt that looks like it wants to find other files, but that just causes the process to jam and I have to force quit iTunes and then it doesn't remember what I last showed it next time I open iTunes.
Also I'm trying to avoid the use of the consolidate function because that would copy a whole other set of music - not in iTunes - that is in the process of being edited (audio hijack pro and fission tools being used to put vinyl and tapes to mp3) But all that other music just means the consolodate function across my whole computer would be too much.

Some details seem to be coming into focus - I have started scrolling through the main library list A to Z repairing tracks individually (there are thousands, but it's what works so far) - as I work through, it appears the problem occurred on tracks where album artist metadata was different than song artist metadata, predominantly. I'm not sure that is 100% the case in every instance, but that is what it's looking like. I don't why that happened, must be some technical glich I guess.
Also, I tried running Doug's Scripts - the one titled, iTunes Track CPR v1.3 - it is supposed to fix exactly the kind of issue I'm having - I bet it would work for some people with a similar issue - but for my case it only identifies the 'de-linked' tracks and doesn't repair them - that is at least helpful as I scroll though to fix them - I can see exactly which tracks have the issue quickly after running that script - but iTunes doesn't remember that warning symbol after a log-out, so it's only worth running the script on a set of tracks I intend to review and fix in any given session at a time.
If you are interested, Doug's free scripts can be found at
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
there are other interesting and useful iTunes scripts there too...
also, unrelated to the issue I'm having, I found a lot of really useful and time saving metadata fixing free scripts at - hubi's iTunes scripts - the page isn't English, but the script download is easy to find -
hubi's scripts work for batch selections of tracks - so if you import an album and find the metadata screwed up somehow, you can select the whole set of screwed up tags at once (even across a series of albums), run the easy to use script, and watch it all be fixed automatically while you sit back and relax...
http://hubionmac.com/wordpress/category/softwareschmiede/applescripting/itunes/
just for reference, here is a sampling of what hubi's scripts can do...
there are other useful scripts out there - the tough part can be finding the one that helps you...
01-(un)capitalizes
01-(un)capitalizes
This script changes.... THIS TEXT into This Text... or this text
01-Delete spaces
Sometimes invisible blanks are behind an artist name or album name...this script deletes these blanks behind or infront of the strings
01-Delete x first-last chars. of Title
A Name like "01--Ray Of Light" will be changed to "Ray Of Light" and the01 will be entered in the tracks tracknumber id3 field =)
01-fix combined Artist-Title
Sometimes Tracknames look like:
"Madonna---Ray of Light" and in the artist field you see something like"Ripped by Me"... this script puts Madonna back to the right field... all youhave to do is to enter the right delimiter ("---" in this case)
01-switch Artist<->Title...
Switch ID3 field a with ID3 field b (not only Artist with Title any more =)!
01-z_filename ->Title
Sets the ID3 field Title to the track's filename)
01-z_trackNr-Filename->ID3
When a track's filename look like "01-Madonna-Ray of Light.mp3" andyou don't have the track's tracknumber stored in the ID3 Tag... this Scriptcan do this for your =)

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. 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,
Matt M.

HT201272 how do i access the cloud i have downloaded some tracks on some albums but they dont play so i deleted them i went to download them again but they are album only tracks so itunes store wont let me how can i get my tracks back? please help

how do i get tracks back that i deleted that are album only tracks, i downloaded it and it would not play now i cant re download it please help

About a minute and a half into some tracks it skips to the next. Not on all the tracks but on most of them.
Try again, just redownloading the tracks which are skipping. (The servers for the Store seem to have been a bit extra-cranky with this over the past day or so in particular ... some folks have had to try redownloading again a couple of times.)
