Audio Plays for One Second

Does anybody know what's happening when the audio plays for about one second and then cuts out. This is the same for both imported tracks and included scores (AquoVisit, CityStreet). You can see an example of what I am talking about here.
If you know how to solve this problem, please answer and you'll receive points!!!
Notes:
I installed the trial version of the CS5 Master Collection from this page. I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.6 on a Summer 2007 "20 iMac. 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I installed the trail just today (this is my second install as I tried uninstalling every file and reinstalling it all, to no avail). I input a working serial after the trial installed and asked if I would like to input a serial or install as a trial.
Thank you!

From the video you posted, it appears that the audio driver is being released in some way, which automatically stops the player. There were some issues with OS X upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 that affected the audio plist files.
The simplest suggestion is to:
1. Open Finder and navigate to /Library/Preferences (NOT your user library folder)
2. rename com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist to something else , or drag it to the trash. It will be rebuilt.
3. Launch Soundbooth
If this fails to resolve the issue, see if you have the some problem in Premiere Pro and let me know the results. We can continue to troubleshoot.

Audio plays for 4 seconds only

If I play a clip on a timeline in Encore DVD, the video plays in the monitor fine but the audio will stop after 4 seconds. This happens each time I start playback. The DVDs that I burn work fine, it is just a problem when working with clips on the timeline.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that incomplete 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 (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) 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 album and click the arrow to the left of it, and then use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Audio plays for a second then goes dead

It doesn't happen every time, but often, when I move the playhead to part of the file (in waveform editor or in a multitrack project) I only get a second or two of audio.
The playhead continues to move, but I don't get any further audio and the meters don't show anything either.
I have 10.4.3. Dual 800 Quicksilver (the first Quicksilver). I'm listening to the audio through the digital audio port (not an optical port - the powered port that they used for those Harmon Kardon speakers. It's not even actually digital, they just call it that for some reason). Speakers are plugged directly into the computer with this breakout cable: http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/audio/prospeaker.html I don't think that is my problem, but thought I would provide the information just in case (the meters in Soundtrack go dead as well, which indicates to me that this is a software issue of some sort)

I am having the same issue. I've tried connecting a variety of speakers including headphones to the Airport Express 802.11n with all the latest and greatest firmware updates. Same result with all. I've tried switching back and forth from Computer to Airport Exress and even Multiple Speakers. Computer output is fine even with Multiple Speakers. Nothing but a blip via Airport Express. My old Airport Express 802.11b/g worked fine in this exact configuration before it died. This replacement Airport Express 802.11n isn't showing me the love.

Can't import songs and ones in library only play for 45 seconds

I'm in the process of moving my music collection to a new computer with a bigger hard drive. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, copied all the folders and contents of the itunes folder to the new computer in the same location.
I bought a couple new songs successfully but now I can't add any of the files from my previous computer to the new library. I was able to import a few songs that iI purchased when on my original machine but now they only play for 45 seconds and jump to the next song in the playlist (if check) And now when I drag and drop songs on the Library to import them absolutely nothing happens.
And yes, the new computer is authorized and the permissions on the folders are read / write.
Any one have an idea of how to fix this? If not, I just going to burn all my songs to CD and import them that way and say so long to iTunes... just too much BS to just move a music library!

Sounds like the PC's authroization file is messed up, or else the iTUnes preferences files.
Follow the directions in this article, the SC Info file holds the PC authroization for iTMS songs.
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
And also deleted these 2 preferecnes files:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
They will all get rebuilt when you open iTunes the next time. It should ask for authorization one last time, is all.

Music purchased and downloaded from iTunes will not play in the Windows Media Player.
Try re downloading the album >

HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
If still problem contact iTunes

I bought an album and one song only plays for 8 seconds then skips to the next song why is this? How can i fix it?

Hi bholdrofjustice,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to delete the song that doesn't play, and download it again using the steps in this article:

If the song still skips after 8 seconds, you can report an issue with your purchase:

Purchased album, one song is missing and others only play for 40 seconds max.

I purchased Emilie Autumn's album "Opheliac (The Deluxe Edition)" last night. The third song ("Liar") is missing, and the other songs play for 40 seconds max. I tried to download the album again, but the Store only tells me my downloads are complete. What's wrong with my album and how will I get it fixed?
I can't believe iTunes doesn't let you redownload an purchased album.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

The song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

the song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Song Plays for 9 Seconds then stops

One of my songs on my iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB pink plays for 9 seconds then stops. It plays perfectly in iTunes. My iTunes software and iPod software are up to date. I tried restoring it but no luck. The song file isn't corrupted because it plays on my sisters MP3 player and in iTunes and in Windows Media Player. I've tried Apple suggestions too. If nothing helps I'm going to go the store I bought it at because I have an extended warranty, to see if they can help me.

Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

Podcasts only playing for 20 seconds?

Hi,
The new interface does not list times for my podcast, like the previous one did.
My podcast episodes only play for 20 seconds from the iTunes store now, but play fully and have a time when downloaded.
How do I fix this?

Which "interface" are you referring to, the iTunes Store, your iTunes Podcast Library or your iPod (in which case, which model of iPod)?
I assume that you are referring to the Store. I've just checked and it took me several attempts to find a Podcast in the Store without times listed. I think, for the time to be listed in the Store then that information needs to be included in the "tag information" completed by the Podcaster when they create their Podcasts. In other words, if you want to "fix" it, you'll need to contact the shows producers. I wouldn't hold out much hope of them meeting your expectations in this respect.

Surely what plays in the Store is only a preview, it's never meant to be the complete episode. To hear all of it, download it, that's what Podcasts are all about. In case you didn't know, Podcasts are not located in the iTunes Store. All the iTunes Store does is list them, and if you choose to download one, the Store instructs the server (where ever that particular Podcast is stored) to download to your library. So I'm surprised to hear that you ever managed to listen to a complete episode direct from the Store. That would be "Streaming", not Podcasting.

You are the second person to complain of this new phenomenon. What you and he have in common is that neither of your feed contains the 'itunes:duration' tag, which is why the duration is not displaying (it displays when subscribing only once the episode is downloaded).
My guess - and it is a guess - is that when this tag is missing the Store defaults to playing only the first 30 seconds. My own podcast includes this tag, and the Store displays the durations and plays the complete episode.
So you should add this tag to your feed: please see the earlier thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2325024&tstart=0
As you are using Podbean I can't advise on how you would do this; presumably it provides a placed where you can enter the duration.
If you need to post further queries on this or any other matter could I ask you always to include the URL of your feed (please include the http://) as well as the iTunes Store URL.

Ever since the last update, My iTunes continues to quit unexpectedly. It will open for one second and then close. Anyone have a solution for this. Please help.

I've tried my best to troubleshoot. . . opening in safe mode nothing seems to work.
In the problem report, this is the error that stood out:

Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000090

Hi there navicin79,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful. The first thing I would try is reinstalling iTunes as outlined in the first article.

X-Grid Works for one second then says it's finished

OK, so when I use the command line to submit an X-Grid job, it submits it, but it runs for one second then returns that it's finished. I look at the X-Grid Admin utility which is connected to my X-Serve, and it shows the job, shows that it's completed, and shows that it ran for one second... It doesn't matter what job I send to it...
Here's the command I used:
"xgrid -h rtsp.jnetcast.net -p <password hidden> -job submit catmovie /Use
rs/chris/Public/xgrid/movie.mov /Users/chris/Public/xgrid/movie2.mov -mp4 -o /U
sers/chris/Public/xgrid/movieout.mp4"
The path that all of those files are in has RW privileges for all users, so it's not that...
Anyone know how to get it to work?

Sorry, I don't have an answer - but there is an actual xgrid discussion board. You probably have a much better chance of finding an xgrid guru there than here.
