After synchronising, the iPod song starts part way through the song. Same song starts fine on iTunes. Wassup?

Why is it that after I synchronise my iPod with iTunes the track on my iPod starts part way through the song? Only happens with the occasional song and is not widespread. The iTunes song on my laptop is fine - when I play it from iTunes it starts from the start.
Any help would be very welcome

You're in the exact same situation as me, and I can't seem to find help with this problem.

I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.

FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.

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.

IPod classic 160Gb 2009 starts tracks part way through

I restored my iPod a couple of months ago through iTunes so it's on the latest version available and all, and since then it's developed a minor but very annoying quirk of starting music tracks part way through when I skip to them - particularly noticable on playlists. What it's actually doing is resuming playback from points where I skipped them on a previous listen. Pretty much what you'd expect an audiobook to do, starting from where you left off. Which is great for audiobooks, but not what I want for my music tracks. I can't find any settings for turning this 'feature' off on the iPod or through iTunes, and I'm not sure it's supposed to be applied to music tracks anyway.
Before I resort to wiping the iPod and starting from scratch to see if that fixes the problem (because it takes hours to transfer all my music over again), does anyone else have any experience with this parrticular problem and know of a solution?
Thanks!

I've managed to fix this myself. Selecting all tracks from within iTunes, then right-clicking and hitting 'get info' and setting the 'remember playback postion' to 'no' for all mp3s has sorted the problem out. This would perhaps benefit from being an option in the iPod settings in addition to individual track settings so it's a bit more intuitive to find for those of us who aren't regular iTunes users!
The real mystery is why it was turned on for them all in the first place. From what I can gather it's something you're supposed to enable per track yourself, and so off by default. I certainly didn't turn it on, so I'm guessing it was a minor glitch in the Matrix.

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Tracks jump part way through both in itunes and ipod

I have an itunes library, version 7.1.1 (5), that is almost 100Gb in size. Most of the cds I imported over the past 2 years and have never had a problem until recently.
Tracks have started jumping to the next track part way through both in itunes and on my new ipod. These tracks used to play with no problem so it has nothing to do with the actual cd import but something that has happened since.
The library is stored on an external LACE drive and they have always been there since import.
It doesn't happen to all tracks but happens very freqently. It is very frustrating and I'd appreciate any advice please.
Regards,
Mike

I'm curious to find if you've resolved this issue. I have the same problem with my ipod and itunes as well, and have had a hard time finding any support on this issue. Certain songs in itunes and on my ipod either won't play or skip to the next song after about 15 seconds.
I've seen recommendations for people who are having this issue on their ipods, but their songs in itunes seem to be working okay. Several of my songs (purchased and imported) skip on my computer and on my ipod.

Embeded Flash files stop loading part way through after update to 10.2

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Flash. After the last update to 10.2, flash files, both audio and video, stop loading part way through them and do not start up again. For instance, on youtube, about 2 minutes worth of video will load but load slowly and then stop completely. The only way to get it to advance is to click past the section that has loaded and it will load the next 2 minutes. On Myspace Music, a song plays about 40 seconds each time and stops completely and will not load anymore, even if I try to skip to another part of the song. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition with Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 64 bit edition as well. Also I have tried clearing my cache, cookings, temp files, removing and installing Flash countless times, including older versions, as well as tried Google Chrome and IE. All give me the exact same issue no matter what I do. It is really frustrating because I cannot watch or listen to anything embeded in Flash online without having to keep clicking the next section every little bit. If anyone can help, please do and I thank you.

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, are you using the 32bit browser for IE? I see you have the FF beta. Have they come out with a 64bit browser? I don't follow the FF beta so if that's true, it's news to me.
Let me know,
Thanks,

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

Upgrading part way through the term of a plan

I'm looking to sign up for the 'Photoshop Photography Program' plan as well as a Single App plan for Illustrator. If my needs require that I need another app partway through the first year can I upgrade to the full plan without any penalty. Or do I have to either wait until 12 months are up or cancel (and loose) what I've already paid for and start again part way through?
I'm torn between getting Creative Suite CS6 Design Standard as well as Lightroom separately on a one off, or signing up for CC, which I accept is more flexible but in the long term will cost considerably more. These are not every day tools for me but they are essential all the same, a major investment which ever way you cut it.
Thanks in advance for your response, Chas RFNM.

Hi RFNM,
Yes, you can upgrade to CC full plan anytime and to waive off the penalty please contact customer support:

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

I am currently restoring my ipod 5 however half way through re-covering my ipod 5 Itunes says "locked with a password unlock ipod etc..." and turns on the ipod and my ipod is still disabled...

Try and force it into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Is your data backed up?
Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools?
