HT1349 Songs stop halfway through and switch to the next song

In iTunes some of my songs stop a little more then halfway and then switch to the next song how can I stop this from doing that ?

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.

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

  • Certain songs have started stopping half way through and skipping to the next track, how do i fix?

    Recently I have found the certain songs, and its always the same ones, have started stopping half way thru and skipping to the next track.  Even if I manually try and forward thru to the end of the track they wont go beyond half way. Does anyone else have this issue and are there any fixes?

    I have figured out a fix.  I have deleted the songs in question and then gone to the 'purchased' section in iTunes Store and re-downloaded the tracks and they work fine.  Haven't found a problem on a non-downloaded track yet so not sure what fix would be there.

  • TS1424 i downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,tracks stop half way through and skip to the next one. what can i do???

    I downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,
    it starts a track and then stops randomly and jumps to the next track
    and then does the same thing ad ainfinitum! What to do??

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them 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 they re-download 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 album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Songs stopping half way through and jumping to the next song

    This has only just started happening on an album I purchased a couple of weeks ago (but only just got around to listening to it). Has anyone else had the problem or at least know how to fix it??

    Um, no. Contact iTS support:

  • Windows 7 - Downloads stopping halfway through

    I recently downloaded windows 7 and it is running well on my computer. However, itunes will not complete downloads (I was testing with a video podcast) - they start and then stop halfway through, and give error 3259. I have run the connectivity diagnostic, checked my firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it still doesn't work. My anti virus program is AVG - could this be affecting the downloads? Is there anything else that I can do?

    Very similar issue for me. I copied my Vista profile to my server and installed Windows 7 Pro. Reinstalled all apps, copied data from old profile back into new one. iTunes loaded with everything EXACTLY as it was before (right down to playcount on songs and everything). For several days, no problem downloading video podcasts. A few days ago, that changed. Out of the blue, it would disconnect me 50-80% of the way through the download and give me error 3259 (& 9006 once). I've read online how it's due to firewall settings, antivirus and old iTunes. I was running iTunes 9.0.1 and it would not permit me to update to 9.0.2 so I downloaded it and installed on my own. Still have the problem. The firewall whitelisted iTunes and I opened up recommended ports as well. No change. I'm using AVG free so it doesn't have a firewall. With Vista, I used McAfee but then I had Windows 7 working fine with AVG and allowing downloads until this sudden change.
    The recommended fixes DO NOT work. Changing firewall settings changes nothing. The antivirus has no firewall and no settings for any kind of whitelisting of iTunes anyways. Updating iTunes changes nothing. I can still download the podcasts manually through Firefox or using my Mac Mini running OS X Server (10.5). Given how it worked at one time, nothing changed, then it suddenly stopped, I'm at a loss.
    I did get two to download today but I changed nothing before they started and then the third in line to download failed.
    I haven't been on Apple discussions lately but since it is a forum, my background is entirely IT. It's how I make my living (troubleshooting in general). It's possible I have overlooked something but given the recommended fixes out there so far and all the variations on them that I have tried, it is unlikely. The issue must be caused by something other than firewall settings, antivirus or iTunes version. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open. I'm getting tired of using Windows LiveSync to keep podcasts updated on this Windows 7 laptop.
    Any help finding the actual fix for this problem is greatly appreciated.

  • Ipod stopping halfway through a song and restarting

    my 1st gen. ipod stops halfway through a song and restarts. but it doesn't do this with all songs, just some. i updated the songs from my ipod onto it again, then manually ejected it, but nothing is working..
    HELP!!

    Try reseting it by holding both Menu and Center buttons down untill the Apple Logo pops up(you my have to do this a couple times for it to work). Or you can restore its factory settings and put the songs back on the iPod. But if that doesen't work try calling this number Apple Disability Solutions (800) 767-2775 and see if you can get yourself further help.

  • HELP: Songs stop halfway through since iPhone 6 switch

    I noticed the other day after upgrading to the iPhone 6 some of my songs would play for 45sec-1min and then would stop, and jump to the next song. I read that this could be an issue after transferring to a new phone, so I wiped all music off my phone and reloaded it.Unfortunately the issue still persisted.
    I then went to test in iTunes on my MBP and found I was having the same issue with the same songs. It's not happening on all songs, in fact it appears to be random. Some I've bought from iTunes store, some I've ripped from CDs, and they're both affected the same. Then even more confusing I went back to my iPhone 5s and iPad to test, and all the songs play correctly. So now it's just my iPhone 6 and my MBP that have the issue.
    I'm running the most current version of OS X and iOS. This issue is most frustrating, and I'm hoping someone could shed some light on a possible solution, thanks in advance!

    I have had the same problem with several songs purchased from iTunes over the past year.  Usually I report them as a problem file at the store, but I have never gotten a reply.  Tonight, I noticed one of my latest purchases doing that.  If I move the position bar to later in the song, it immediately skips to the next song.  I was afraid that maybe my files were getting corrupted, so I copied the file right out of iTunes and pasted it on my desktop.  Then I double clicked on the desktop file and it played all the way through in iTunes.
    Just for giggles, I copied and pasted the newly created file over the old one, and it still skips to the next song just as before.
    I have seen one solution that I believe will work, which is to recreate the library.  But I have years worth of playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc. that I don't want to lose.  Please help!

  • Safari stops downloading halfway through and i cant retry it

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with my Safari in Macbook Pro and it's really making me angry.
    So the problem is that when i try to download anything that's more than 100MB or even more than 50MB safari stops downloading it halfway through and it doesn't give me any explanation or anything really and another issue is that i cant retry it ; i tried to download it again and it doesn't make any difference it stops downloading maybe after it downloads a couple more MB than the last one. I tried using Google Chrome and i have the same problem with that too.
    I appreciate any helpful tips.

    Several ideas ...
    Since both browsers are affected, check with your ISP. There may be a bandwidth stipulation.
    Disable anti virus software if installed.
    Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If there are any installed, switch to OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    Little Snitch or Mac Keeper installed?  Either one are problematic.

    I keep trying to burn a CD-R in Iphoto, and every time iPhoto stops burning halfway through and i get this error message, "Attemp to burn a disc failed. Burn failed due to a medium write error." I am using memorex CD-R's and have tried with 4 times with different CD's. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any info would be awesome

    Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

  • Songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song

    I recently imported some new songs onto my itunes, and some songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song. This is happening both on my itunes on mac and on my ipod classic. I have already checked the ending time of the songs, and also checked the audio file to see if it was corrupted. I have also tried deleting the song and importing it on itunes again, but nothing changes. It's becoming quite annoying, and I would really like to fix the problem..

    I, too, am having this problem as of two updates ago. It' been like this for about two weeks now. Music stops, songs skip like I'm using an old CD player and went over a bump - just abruptly stopping/changing to the next song. I've also noticed VERY clear and sudden changes in song quality while streaming, it's a bit jarring.
    I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and I'm using T-Mobile.
    I have tried the following:
    Restart phone 
    Clear data
    Uninstall and reinstall
    Lower streaming quality
    I've noticed this seems to only happen on streamed songs.. downloaded ones are OK. Everything was fine until the update that changed the 'Your Music' section :(
    Edit: Wifi works fine.. It seems to either be a) streaming over T-Mobile or b) how Spotify handles streaming/slow connections/whatever has changed in a recent update. Can past and future repliers include their mobile carrier to see if there's a trend?

  • Download stopped halfway through

    My song stopped downloading halfway through and just keeps saying retry. I just want my song!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Jessica.
    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 which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
    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.

  • ITunes 10.5 Stops Playing Some songs mid-song and skips to the next

    I migrated a friend’s iTunes library from a Win Vistamachine to Windows 7 Home Premium. Not sure what version of iTunes he had onthe Vista setup, but it’s 10.5.1 on the new machine. In the process, I backedup the sizable (6,000+ songs) iTunes library to an external hard drive, andrestored it to the new Win7 machine.
    Now about 10% of his songs will start playing and at randomtimes, will skip to the next song without completing.
    I found a fix, but it’s pretty tedious – there’s got to be abetter way to fix this.  Here are thesteps when a song stops playing and jumps to the next:
    Locate     the song in Windows.
    Copy     it to the desktop (or another safe spot)
    Delete     the song from iTunes, selecting the option to remove it from the hard     drive.
    Cut     the song from the desktop and paste it back in the folder where it came     from
    In     iTunes:  File>Add Folder to     Library… Navigate to the folder and add it.
    Once the song is added back to the library, it plays justfine.
    This solution works for identified files. However, with6,000+ songs in a library and no way to determine which files are affected on amacro level, this really is not a solution.
    There is no noticeable pattern. This seems to happen toabout 10% of the files in the library. One particular song (Foo Fighters:  The Pretender) was duplicated on the harddrive and in the iTunes library.  BOTHversions of the song stop playing with 0:21 remaining and skip to the nextsong.  However, another song in thelibrary stops playing at 1:01.
    Some of the troubled files are .m4p, some are .mp3. Thefiles themselves are not corrupted.  Itested several in QuickTime and they played to the end. Additionally, as shownabove, when they are deleted from the library and restored they play just fine.
    I have deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist as suggested inother articles, but this did not help.
    Any help is appreciated.

    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?
