Why does a song stop playing music half way through the song and the remain part of the song is silent?  It is not ever song either just mainly the ones downloaded from iTunes?

I have the last upgrade and when I listen on my computer they are complete, but when I put it on suffle only half of the song plays.

Try working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch or corrupted data.

Do this happen with tracks at random or only a certain subset of tracks?

  • My iPod wants to play music half way through one song and then start the next one, or pick up in the next song were the first song was at.  How do I fix this?

    I've had it for the past few days that when I have a album playing it will play a song half way through and start the next one, however it still shows the first song name and the time that is on there.  I don't know weather it's just a glich in the iPod itself or if there is something wrong with it all together.   I've never had this problem up until a few days ago, and I really don't know what to do about it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • Why does the video freeze half way through my movie and the audio keep going?

    Why does my movie freeze half way through and the audio continues?

    Most likely this is due to running out of virtual memory. You can reset virtual memory by restarting your Mac.
    Long term you may want to consider purchasing more memory.

  • TS1587 my machine starts , gets half way through boot up, and then crashes, any ideas?

    my imac turns on, gets half way through booting up, then just stops.
    any clues?

    So, as per > Intel-based iMac: What to do if your computer won't turn on you have reset the SMC and Reseated your RAM...?
    If so, then perhaps you need to replace the RAM with new modules.
    To find out for sure, run the Apple Hardware Test as per > Using Apple Hardware Test

  • Why does my mac stop playing movies after 30 minutes and freezes?

    my mac plays rented movies, however after 30 minutes they freeze and stop working, does any one know why or how i can fix this?

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.

  • Itunes cut off music half way through

    I got a new Macbook Pro so copied over my music successfully. I then synced my ipod. A lot of the songs are now either missing or stop after around 2 minutes for no reason. This has now synced the same onto my ipod.
    I am really unhappy as I am a radio presenter and a lot of music now has to be played fully before burning.
    Point 2 when trying to burn CD's burners not supported coming up
    Why ? and Help !!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.

  • HT204406 I purchased the additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch.  Since it removes all my music from the touch and stores it in Icloud, I find that when I am not at my wifi location or another one,I can't access my music.Is there a solution for that?

    Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
    It will be stored on your ipod.

  • Why does my Ipod start playing music when I set it on the Speaker dock?

    Everytime I set it on the speaker dock it starts playing the same song without pushing any buttons, even when I just want to charge the Ipod.

    Are you using the remote that came with the Apple TV? If so, on the Mac open System Prefs > Security and Privacy and click the "advanced" button. Select the option to "disable remote control infrared receiver" and click OK and close Sys Prefs.

  • Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

    Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

    Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound?  Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?  If available I would try another set of earphones.
    Ciao.

  • IPOD CLASSIC STOPS PLAYING MOVIE HALF WAY

    I don't use my iPod much for videos because it's too tiny, but I have this series of university lectures available on the web -- no copyright issues -- which I need to watch. Each one is about 1.5 hours long. The player stops after the first 20-28 mins and goes back to the list. That happens with most files.
    The files play perfectly on iTunes on the computer. Only on the iPod I have this problem. File format is mp4. Windows.
    I tried different videos, just to make sure there wasn't anything the particular files. I downloaded documentaries from the web -- purposefully copyright-free to ensure mass distribution -- and the same thing happens.
    Any suggestions?

    Since the files appear to be okay (they played correctly in their entirety in iTunes), then the issue is with the iPod Classic. The first thing I would try to do is to simply reset the iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It might also help to remove these videos from your device by configuring your iPod to longer these videos via iTunes and your iPod's Movies tab.  Then resync them back over to your device.
    If all else fails, you'll want to try and restore the device.  This process, wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.  This would eliminate any possibility of corrupted data or a software glitch.

  • IPhone got half way through ios6 update and stopped working...

    I was half through updating my iPhone when it suddenly stopped and then keeps putting it itself into revovery mode, turning itself off and every so often a yellow screen appears. Help!!

    I would perform a DFU Mode Restore of iPhone on computer with iTunes.
    Here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding the home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds of holding home button. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode is sometimes difficult to get. So keep trying the steps until you get it. DFU mode is iTunes saying iPhone in Recovery Mode except screen is black, blank.
