Encoding from WAV to M4A cuts off ending?

I batch encoded four audio-books for a client, editing in STP, outputting as WAVs, then using Compressor 3.5.3 to create the final deliverable AACs, with file-extension M4A. The client's QC folks got back to me saying the ends of several files had the last word cut off. I checked the WAVs, which were fine, but sure enough—the M4A files were between a half and three-quarters of a second shorter! Anybody else observe this behavior? Any fixes, besides pasting in a coupla seconds of Room Tone at the end?

I have this problem as well. I haven't done anything (on purpose anyway) to change the format of my WAV audio files, but when I play them now in iTunes 11 the last 1-2 seconds is missing on all of my WAV files.
It would seem that it has more to do with changes in iTunes than with the files themselves, which I haven't altered as far as I know.

TS1702 I bought a song today from iTunes but it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again?

I bought a song today on iTunes and it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again or fix the problem. It happens on my MacBook Pro and my iPod Touch 4G

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Itunes cuts off end of tracks

iTunes is cutting off the end of some songs on CDs I'm importing. It wouldn't be bad if it was just the fade out for the last 10 seconds of the song, but it's cut off a few tracks right in the middle and I can't seem to make sense of it; ie it isn't because of a dead spot in the track that might trick iTunes into think the song is over and doesn't the data from the CDA file tell iTunes how long the track is anyway? Re-importing the track fixes the problem, but it's really annoying.
Is the iPod compatible with Nero? I'm using ACC at 256vbr, could that be the problem? Should I switch to MP3? I'm not a big fan of MP3 because it seems more prone to pops, static, etc.
Any help or advice?
Thanks,
iPod Newbie

When Reading Email from Ipad, Hyperlink got cut off, How to fix it?

When I read the email from Outlook, the hyperlink works. when reading from Ipad, portion of the hyperlink in email got cut off. How do we fix it?

Close out of the mail app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your email again.

Trying to print from a template, image cutting off

I am creating a brochure using the "Classic Brochure" template. (three fold) My document looked fine in the print preview, but when printing, it would cut off the top, bottom and right margins. I used the template so I could didn't have to rely on my layout skills. I wanted to see if the mess up was me, so I printed the sample template. It's also cutting it off. This particular design has borders all around so lining it up correctly is really important.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Do you have a borderless option? Look in File > Pages setup > Paper size.
It would be nice if you told us which Pages version you are using. Say it in numbers

Shuffle cuts off ending to certain podcasts, not others

I've noticed that all of my podcasts for Wretched Radio get the last 20-45 seconds cut off on the new 2GB shuffle. If I listen to the podcast in iTunes, it plays all the way through. Other podcasts it plays all the way through just fine.
Anyone have any idea about what could be causing this?
chris

I just bought an iPod Shuffle and had this very same issue happen too. Like you, I loaded it with Wretched Radio podcasts and The Dividing Line podcasts (James White "AOMin" podcasts) and it cuts off the last 30 seconds or so of the podcasts as well.
I bought the blue iPod Shuffle about 3 or 4 weeks ago and after a week of noticing this happen, I brought it back to the Apple store in Vancouver, BC at Pacific Centre Mall where I the Genius Bar guy who helped me, Emilio Da Silva, told me it was a hardware issue. I basically exchanged it for another blue iPod Shuffle. Then I went on a trip out of town for two weeks. I noticed the same issue happening on this second iPod Shuffle. I'm about to bring it back to the Apple store again.

Itunes cut off ends of songs names

My songs names are cutted by itunes, a tried to convert with the ID3 converter but nothing has changed...
Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor english.

Dude, I first noticed the problem on iTunes a while back. I've been growing my mp3 collection since 1999 and its about 80gigs now so you can imagine how ****** off I was when iTunes cut all the song titles that were long. I have songs that are now named like this: Michael Jackson & The Jackson Five -
Chris CA you are totally missing the point here. iTunes didn't warn Neesh and I that it was going to completely f*%k our song names up. The first time I installed and ran iTunes it also took my 60 gigs of music and sorted it into folders, most of which were named "Unknown Album". It also copied the music into the iTunes Music folder so that there it took up twice as much hard drive space.
Anyway Neesh, I tried Media Monkey but that was worse. Now I have a bunch of files that are .mediamonkey files. What the **** is that?
So far, the best mp3 player was the original WinAmp. Its since been messed up so we're all stuck with iTunes. I wouldn't be surprised if one day it deletes all my mp3's that weren't purchased from the itunes store. So now I am backing up all my music.

ITunes continuously cutting off ends of songs while playing

Whenever I play music on iTunes on my macbook, the song always finishes before the actual end. The start and stop time have not been changed for any of the songs. It never finishes in the same spot and it will also count that as a 'play' of the song even though it hasn't been played through fully. This is frustrating me and I have no idea how to fix it.

I have not had a major problem with this, only two of my songs have done this, but what I do to fix it is go into itunes and right click on the song and click get info. On the options tab just check the stop time box and the problem should be fixed. It doesn't keep the problem from happening again, but it is a way to fix one song... hope that helps

Exporting video in Encoder from Premiere locks up at very end

I'm new to Premiere and Media Encoder, but for the past two days, I've tried multiple times to edit a video in Premiere and export the trimmed video via the Encoder "Queue" option. The big problem comes at the end of the process, where the status bar continues to say, "Remaining: 00:00:01" and never changes, even when I leave it alone for up to half an hour. As a result, I'm unable to do anything with my trimmed video. Can anyone offer any tips on how to fix this?

Some video exports require muxing. Basically video and audio import and they get separated and at the very end, they get muxed back together. for some formats, this happens at the end of the export and it may look like the encode is frozen at the end, but muxing is taking place. We are in process of adding progress bar for those special cases. This may be what you are seeing. Keep track of how long the encode takes, if it takes 30 min, let it sit there at the end for another 30 minutes or even an hour see if the encode finally finishes.
Another thing you can do is to export to other formats and preset and see if that finishes. Please let us know what export preset works and what hangs at the end.

New version of iTunes cuts off end of track

I've just updated iTunes and now have Version 7.6.1.9. Now when I import a CD, the last few seconds of the final track are missing. This is very frustrating - can anyone help?

Same issue as forum I started called "iTunes 7.6.1.9 import - last track on CD cuts 6 seconds short"
PLEASE Launch iTunes --->Help--> provide iTunes feedback ---> report the BUG!!
I can confirm the workaround does work..import as AIFF and then set import setting back to whatever you nortmally use. Right click on your track and select Convert to MP3 or AAC or whatever
To save time, I filled all 3 drives in my system with discs and did the operation in parallel
eg
Select all tracks but the last on each disc
Import as MP3
Then change to AIFF
select only the last tracks on the 3 discs
Import as AIFF
Then change import settings back to MP3
Right click each file and select convert to MP3
It's a lot of work but I had several I really wanted to get done

IMessages to an iPhone occasionally appears with words cut off from end

When sending texts from iMessages to an iPhone, the text occasionally appears on their iPhone with a couple words cut off from the end. It appears fine in the iMessages display/history.   Here's a few things I've noticed:
- It's repeatable. For example, the following message always causes the issue: "man, why are you here? Two are in testing places". On the iPhone it appears as "man, why are you here? Two are in testing".
- It's a problem with iMessages. If I send the exact same text from the iPhone, it goes through just fine. The message has to originate from MacOS iMessages. (I'm using the latest Mountain Lion and all updates as of 12/21/12)
- The full message is actually being successfully transferred to the phone; it just does not display correctly. There are two pieces of evidence for this. If on the iPhone, the user copies the truncated message and pastes it somewhere else, the full message is pasted! Moreover, on the top level the messages app (where you see the last message from all the recent people you texted with), the full message displays.
- It can happen with both short and longer messages.   Here's another longer message I noticed got cut off: "That's funny that you though I was joking when I said I was debugging. Why is that so weird?"
- It has something to do with the length of the message or how it is being wrapped. I can create modifications of those texts with the same length, and they will cut off. (That said, some modifications will not cause the problem, so it's more than just length. Maybe it has something to do with how it wraps the words?) Usually adding a few words to the message will allow it to go through.
- It always cuts off at a space. In other words, it will not truncate something in the middle of a word.
- I have only seen it cut off one or two words before.
Apple really needs to make this a high priority fix. Unreliable messaging of this sort is a deal-breaker for iMessages, IMO. My guess is that they haven't had more reports for this because people simply don't notice unless the last word or two totally ruins the meaning of a text and the other person points it out.
Can people try to recreate this on their machines? If so, please do so and file a bug report (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html). All you have to do is get on your iMessage app and text one of those two messages to your phone. If it appears truncated on your phone, you've confirmed it. You're welcome to use any of my post in any bug report.

Hi,
some entries had ¬†¬† (tabs probably)
I had seen these in Quicklook at the point where the Message appeared to show double spaces after a Full Stop or Question Mark.
You are right that it have not dawned on me that I had not seen them between words.
It was TextEdit as well (Not sure why I said QuickLook)

Part of this means the iMessages sent out.
The "repeat" is the sync back from the the ID the iPhone is using.
I am presuming the leading numbers are the iMessage identifier that iMessages uses to tell whether it has been Synced
Messages on the Mac is trying to enclose this in Coloured Balloon (or other style) and lists a Font and it's colour

I don't know, Maybe Office 2008 doesn't play nice with Lion. Was 2008 working previously with Lion? Did you have these problems with Snow Leopard?
Here's MS's instructions for uninstalling Office 2008.
How to completely remove Office 2008 for Mac
All I can suggest is uninstalling and starting over with a fresh installation.
Alternatively don't use Office at all. Instead use one of the Office substitues that supports Word documents (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice). Also there's Apple's Pages and MS Office 2011.

How do I prevent mp3 songs from having their tail-ends cut off in the slideshow-creator?

I don't have this problem with wma files. When I play any of these mp3 music files in Windows Media Player, I get the whole thing. So I'm guessing Photoshop Elements 7 has trouble playing nicely with mp3. I have a favorite-movies slideshow with movie themes in the background. All the files are mp3. And each piece of music has the last 4 or 5 seconds cut off. Please help. Thanks.

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.
