My songs cut off before they end on my iphone.

Same problem. I have submitted feedback. It appears that a significant number of people are experiencing the same problem and have been for months - yet, no official response of correction from Apple. This problem is also affecting the 'Match' product they're trying to sell. I would recommend waiting until this problem is fixed before signing up for Match.

I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done

I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done. How can i get a refund or credit for this?

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.

When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again. Anyone know why?

I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again. I haven't had this problem before.

Hi kjackson73,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
Download past purchases

I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

A downloaded song cuts off at the end - how can i get the full song

I recently downloaded a new song, but the song cuts off at the end. How can I get the full song?

Try update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 version and see if it rectifies the issue.

I have 2 issues: (1) songs are randomly being cut off before they finish and (2) songs are randomly repeating back-to-back. Help!

I have a 6th Gen ipod nano that will randomly cut songs off before they are finished. It also will randomly replay a song before moving on to the next. Why?? Help!!

Hello timnpaige,
Thank you for the details of the two issues you are experiencing with your iPod nano. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

If songs are still not playing in the correct order, I recommend reviewing this article next:

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

Last itunes purchased had several tracts that were cut off before the end of the song. How do I get this resolved without repurchase?

The last time I purhased iTunes several tracts from several albums have songs that get cut off. I would like to get this fixed without having to rebuy. Has anyone experienced this & is there a fix for this?
Thanks -

Songs cut off at the end

Hi,
My Ipod nano has started cutting off the last 30 seconds or so of songs. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!
Nano 1GB Windows XP

It's done in iTunes when the iPod is hooked up.
From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences (Windows: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences), then click the Audio button at the top of the window.
To hear songs fade in and out, select Crossfade Playback.
To decrease or increase the amount of time it takes for the current song to fade out at the end and the new song to fade in, drag the "seconds" slider left or right.
Although one older article says that iPod does not support crossfade playback, when I first got my 2nd gen nano it was having the problem with the next song starting before the first one was done. I decreased the crossfade slider to zero and re-synced songs to my iPod and everything was fixed.
I'm not sure if this is your issue but it won't hurt to try.

TS2343 Why is my downloaded song cut off at the end?

I had no problems downloading the song from itunes, but once i tried to play it on my ipod, the ending was cut off!

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I'm having an issue with songs cutting off before finishing and jumping to the next one. Even on my old ipod where there were never any problems before. They play fine on my computer? how can I fix this without spending a fortune replacing all these songs

I got this new Ipod for christmas,& I started importing songs before it was fully charged. I thought thast caused the problem till I added new songs to the old one. Then it started doing the same thing. The old one never had this problem. Even one of the new songs I just bought stops 15 seconds in then jumps to the next song. I can't afford to replace them all.

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/delete 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.

How do you increase/decrease volume on an iTunes song? Also, some songs get cut off before they are over.

This is in reference to Follow Up 286560206; under the control tab on "Libraries" the drop down indicates that a song can be increased in volume by pressing ctrl + up and decreased by pressing ctrl + down, but no matter how I try it nothing happens. Also, some songs get cut short, and once I saw an option on how to lengthen the play time on a song, but I can't remember how to get back to this screen. Thank you.

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.

Many songs on my iPad are cut off before completion, or are scrambled (bits of different tunes mixed in with other tunes).

I am running iTunes 11.0.3.42 on Windows 8, and am an iTunes match subscriber. I have approximately 2700 songs in my library - maybe 1/2 and 1/2 ripped from my CD collection and the rest purchase exclusively through iTunes. None of this music is pirated.
When playing this music back on my iPad, I am finding that many songs are cut off before they complete. When this happens, they continue to play, but it is just silence. Additionally, many other tunes are scrambled, with bits of other songs mixed together into one. When going back to iTunes on my PC, I will sometimes find that the songs play fine there - but sometimes they behave as they do on the iPad.
This happens whether or not I run my library with iTunes match on the iPad. I have redownloaded all my songs to try to repair this, with mixed results. It will often fix the songs that I was having trouble with - but then other songs will begin to show the same type of problems. I know that 2700 songs is not an immense library, but it is too large for me to systematically review the whole library - which makes tracking these problems very difficult.
I have seen similar types of complaints on the forums ranging over the last several years. It also seems that these problems have been "solved" by many different methods. Nothing I have found has worked for me - or only worked with the mixed results I mention above. I wonder if these individuals have actually been getting the mixed results I am finding.
This is truly frustrating, as I do not do anything exotic with my library, and have not pirated, but gotten my music honestly. I also have ripped my entire CD collection into iTunes, and have gotten rid of the CD's - as I have NEVER had similar problems to this in all the many years I have been using iTunes. Suddenly I find that I have a majorly corrupted library, with seemingly no way out. I cannot even abandon iTunes since I have such an investment in it. At a minimum of $.99 per song it would cost me almost $2700 to replace my library honestly, and that is at the low end of what I would pay. I don't know about you - but I don't have three grand to blow on replacing a music library I already paid for just to get away from a crappy product (sorry Apple - but what the heck else would you call this nonsense?). Makes a dude covet taking an eye-patch.
I am screwed and doubt there's a way out - but I have no choice but to ask for help. Anyone?
