Cut off songs ipod mini

hi,
I've seen this problem around, but can't find any answers. Songs run a few seconds and skip to the next one. I tried the ipod restore, an ipod format, did delete itunes and did rebuild the library. Songs always run fine in itunes. Every time I try something, the problem is the same, only the songs change. The one with problems run fine after a restore, but other ones stop working proper. Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Like I said, I did restore a few times already. The songs which were cut off before, work fine after. But new songs have same problems then. Any other good ideas ?

Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
help!

I have also had the same problem...
The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

My iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.3) keeps cutting off songs before they finish.

My iPod keeps cutting off songs before they finish. There doesn't seem to be a pattern - it only happens to some songs. It also doesn't cut them all off with the same amount of time remaining. The songs work perfectly when I play them back on iTunes on my laptop.
I've tried removing and reloading all the music as well as restoring my iPod to its factory settings.
Please help... it's driving me mad!!

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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Itunes 10.6.3 cuts off songs

I re-installed my Music according to Apple's instructions, but that didn't resolve the problem. Some songs are getting cut off at around the 3:00 mark, and when they do, iTunes doesn't proceed to the next song. I'm operating Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 on a brand new iMac and have never had this problem before. Has Apple fixed this, and if not, what is the fix?

Not sure if this is what you did or not but it worked for me. I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25. I deleted the cut off songs from both my ipod and iTunes on my computer (choosing to move them to the trash bin and eliminate completely). Afterwards, I re-downloaded them from the cloud by accessing my previously purchased items in the iTunes store. For what it's worth, I had to go through this process twice before it actually worked.

Music player cuts off songs prematurely

I have an iPhone 4S running 7.0.3. Ever since upgrading from 6.x to 7.x, the music player will cut off songs prematurely (approx 45-60 seconds too soon). I've reset the phone, re-sync'd the music, etc. It happens on 1/4-1/3 of my music, and I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Any suggestions?

I could be wrong but isn't there a stop at property on the songs? I'm not in front of my itunes right now to check. I seem to remember that but apple could have taken that property away.
As far as os7, the ipod app is extremely buggy! It crashes on me at least 4 times a day. Sometimes songs just stop for no reason. It also gets out of sync, when I unlock my phone there are times its 5 minutes behind where the song actually is.

My podcast keep cutting off every 5 mins when I'm listening to it. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

i have friends who have iphone 4 with the ios5 and their additional google calendars are appearing.
you need to turn off and turn your phone on again or wait overnight for the calendars to appear after using the link.

IPod cutting off songs/iTunes not recognizing iPod correctly

Hi,
I have a second generation nano using a PC with Vista operating system, and using the latest iTunes software (7.6.1.9). I have been noticing that more and more of my songs on the iPod have been cutting off, either a few seconds into the song, near the end, etc, but are just fine when played through iTunes from my hard drive. At first it was just a couple of songs, but then more and more started to cut off. Then, the iTunes started telling me that it wasn't able to read my iPod correctly and that I should restore it to original settings. I did that a few times and kept reloading the songs, but the problem still occurs seems to be getting worse. Tonight when I plugged the iPod in, iTunes said that it "detected an iPod but couldn't identify it. Unplug it and plug back in." I did, and it read it, but that particular problem also seems to be getting worse and I'm afraid soon it won't be able to detect the iPod at all (and this latest message was after I updated with the iTunes latest version). It seems like the actual iPod software is corrupted, and that its software needs to be re-installed, not the iTunes. Am I wrong in that assessment? How would I go about doing that? I can't seem to find any clear instructions and I don't see many people reporting this problem.
Thanks,
Robyn

Songs cut off on iPod and on iTunes

I've seen this asked before but no one can seem to help when it comes to the Windows iTunes:
Songs on my iPod are not only being randomly cut off, but the +song length+ is being changed right before my eyes for no discernable reason. For example, I have a song that is 3:46, but it will display the length as 2:22, then I do Right Click --> Get Info, press OK, and the length has gone back to 3:46. However, when I play the song, it stops at 2:22 and goes to the next song.
I've already tried updating the ID3 tags and that didn't work. Someone PLEASE tell me how I can fix this without re-setting my iPod and deleting my entire library.

Does it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
Does it always happen with the same songs?
The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.

IPod Cutting off songs

There are a handful of songs that cut off part way through when playing on my IPod. They cut off in the same spot every time, but they play fine on my computer. I have tried restoring & reloading the IPod, and it just starts happening with different songs after.
Any ideas?

30seconds to 2mins of song cut off on ipod

I have a really really werid error, when I first got a 5G ipod, about 1/12 of the songs were 30seconds-2min shorter on the ipod and had there ends cut off, when I played them with itunes off the ipod however,they played fine (full song). I dismmised this as a defective ipod, returned it, got a new one, used it with no problem for 2 days, and then found a song with 32seconds of the end cut off. I synced it with itunes, and it didn't fix the problem, it only fixed the song after I listen to it all the way through on itunes, and synced it again. Based on my previous experiance I think there are more songs on my ipod cut off like this. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or how to test to see if more songs are cut off without listen to all 2400 songs on it

I have the same problem. I have a 15 gig 2G ipod and I replaced a dying 20gig 3G ipod with a new 60gig 5G ipod. Other than the harddrive dying in the 3G (I did get over 7000 hrs out of it!) I have never had any of the 6200 songs I have loaded ever have an error or skip like this. I've reripped 2 songs and they now have no error, but it seems like a cascading error (replacing the 2 songs seemed to cause 3 more to fail that didn't 2 days earlier) I have two questions: 1) Is this just a glitch in the error trapping of the driver software (meaning I can hope for a reprieve! with the next release) or 2) After restoring and reloading everything on the 5G and testing the tracks that skip on the 2G can I assume I've gotten a bum drive 3 days into owning my new pod?

Computer crashed - how do I get my songs off my ipod mini back onto mac?

hi there - I have an ipod mini linked to a powerbook g4. Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. Now when I connect my ipod, i get an error message saying that this ipod isn't linked to this computer.
If i interpret the message correctly, changing the link will link them, but as I understand it, it will also wipe all the songs on the ipod as there are currently no songs on the computer. But if I choose the 'no' option I can't access any of the songs from the laptop as they are all greyed out or sync the songs back to the computer.
Yikes!
Can anyone help out. Short of digging out all the CDs and digitizing again, is there a way around this problem?
Thanks, in anticipation.

Yeah, syncing them will wipe the iPod. You need an iPod Manager (other than iTunes) that'll move songs from the iPod to the Mac (which iTunes is design not to do).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers
I used iPodRip. It took a little finaggling (sp?) so next time I'll try something else. You might want to look up some reviews of the others and see what'll work for you. Some save the play count history & playlist, others don't.
Anyway, it's doable.

My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... !
I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer. There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

Premium Cutting Off Songs

I am trying out Premium on a trial offer, and frankly am unimpressed.
I selected a mix of 20 or so songs > added them to a playlist > enabled hardware acceleration > made them available off line.
Every third song or so gets cut off around 30 seconds to the end of the track and skips to the next song. It is not specific to any song.
Reviewing the messages boards I found a thread stating a conflict with ITunes. So I uninstalled it completely, but the problem persists.
Am I alone in this issue? Most issues I have found on the message boards are related to skipping like a scratched CD or due to ads.
Any fixes?

From the help site:
https://support.spotify.com/problems/#!/article/Music-fast-forwards-or-skips-when-I-play
If you’re experiencing playback problems, it’s worth trying:
Logging out and back in.
Checking your internet connection is working.
If you’re using Windows, click Edit in the menu bar and select Preferences. Then uncheck Enable hardware acceleration.
Also try a reinstall of the Spotify app:

If you still have trouble,
I suggest you contact support so they can help. Tell them you already tried all of the help guides.

ITunes Library cutting off songs

I posted this in another topic, but I'm not sure if it belongs here or there...
All of a sudden, my itunes library is blending songs when I play them in order. When each song has 4 seconds left, the next song on the list starts playing, as if a DJ's mixing them. It's annoying, because it cuts off the end of songs, and I don't know how it will affect the burning of CDs.
Anyone know why it's suddenly doing this, and how I can make it stop?

It looks as if you have Crossfade playback: switched on.
You can find this setting in Preferences>Playback.
hope this helps.
