play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

New 80gig ipod.. Plays only first few seconds on most songs?

New 80gig ipod.. Plays only first few seconds on most songs?
I am runnign disk checks resets etc..
if cannot get working taking back to futureshop

I just posted a more detailed response to this on a similar post. The only way I have found is to convert to MP3, which *****. Look for the other post.

I keep getting a box asking me to upgrade the system. The box has a click for more info, but when I click it will not open. The overall box stays on the screen only a few seconds. I cannot be sure that this is not a scam.

There are no details about which version the update applies to.
I cannot be sure that this is not a scam so I have not uploaded it. The fact that the box stays on the screen for only a few seconds, before the regular Firefox screen opens, suggests that the box wants the user to make a quick, uniformed, decision, and to press "Next" rather than find out about the changes.

Did you ever install a Firefox 4 beta (or RC) version in the past?
It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate. 
You can check that by looking at the pref app.update.channel on the about:config page. 
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release. 
You can find the latest Firefox 4.0.x on this site:

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

CS4 v4.1.0 some vob files import only first few seconds

I have a mini-DVD camcorder that creates vob files which I wish to edit in Premiere Pro CS4 v4.1.0.
I find that there are four .vob files on the DVD, one is a chapter index, the other three compose what I recorded.
I am able to import all of the latter three, however, only the middle one includes the full track of 16 minutes. The first and last one import as only about 10 seconds instead of the seven minutes each is.
I tried to work around using DGIndex.exe and MeGUI Modern Media Encoder for the other two, but this only gives me the video, without the audio.
So, either I need a way to rip the audio off the two vobs and hopefully not mess up the lip sync too much or to get the vob files to import correctly into Premiere Pro.
Any help appreciated. This is Windows XP SP3.
Thanks.

Well, there are VOB's, and then there are VOB's. Being a Video Object, they can contain a lot of "stuff." This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background.
Dag's suggestion is one that many use and the conversion program gets high marks from many users.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't import full track from CD, only first few seconds

Please help. I'm at my wits' end on this.
I bought an iPod Nano yesterday. I installed iTunes on my PC. My PC runs Windows XP. I Put a CD in the CDROM. Up came a list of 20 tracks with the correct lengths (all 3 minutes or so long.)
I then tried to import them and all I got was about the first 12 - 15 seconds of each one. When they transfer to the iPod itself, each track sounds OK for the first 12 - 15 seconds, then stops.
I have tried this with several different CDs from different bands, and different publishers. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I have tried importing by three methods:
1) Using the big "Import from CD" button, top right.
2) Dragging and dropping the CD icon onto the Library icon.
3) Highlighting and dragging and dropping the tracks onto the library icon.
I went back to the shop and the man there demonstrated the process, and he did exactly what I do, and it worked. He suggested I should uninstall/reinstall.
I went to a different shop for a second opinion. They also said uninstall/reinstall.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still I find I can only get the first 15 seconds or so of each track.
I have looked at every option on every drop down menu and can find nothing that appears relevant.
I am now banging my head against a wall in desperation.
Please help.
Mike

How frustrating, your cute little nano won't play!
OK, what options do you have checked on iTunes > Edit >prefrences > Advanced > Importing?
If you check off the option for "Use error correction when importing CDs" will it work?
Also you might try reading some posts over on the importing & burning forums, the CD experts hang out over there. They will probably want to see the results of your iTunes > Help > Run CD Diagnostics ....

First few seconds skip

When I play through iTunes, and my music is on an external hard drive, the first few seconds of almost every song skips. If I "rewind" the second play is fine. Any ideas? Thanks for being out there to help!

Try Rich's suggestion here -> Re: Songs not playing all the way through.
It looks like it worked for a few people in that post.

Hey my little sister pressed something on my ipod and ever since some o f my songs are playing only for the first few seconds how do i solve this problem

BaconBits is right to ask if the files are protected or not.
DRM files can only be transferred using Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource or Nano Media Explorer so that the licenses are transferred. Do not try drag'n'drop with Windows Explorer on porotected files. This is explained in the Help file manual on your CD.
Also do not use Audible Manager to transfer music files.

A song I bought only plays the first few seconds....

I bought an album & one of the songs only plays the first few seconds, backs up, & repeats that part over & over. I show no available downloads. This is very annoying when trying to enjoy an entire album that I love. Please help.

Update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 and see if it rectifies the issue.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (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.

My CDs load into itunes but only play the first few second of each song.

When I try to play CDs from itunes only the first few seconds play. I can play CDs from windows media player. At one time I was able to play CDs from itunes.

This might be better answered over in the Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows forums.

Which version of iTunes and which iPod Classic model are you using?
Have you tried to Reset the iPod and download again?

I recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?

Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

XMMS only plays the first few seconds of each... [solved]

Hi
I have no clue where to start looking:
I have XMMS running and installed the xmms-cdparanoia package.
From within xmms, I can browse to /mnt/cd, where the content of my audio cd is displayed (nothing in /media or anywhere else). I add all the files to the play list, but when I try to play them from there, only a few seconds (1 to 6, depending on the track) gets played.
If I try to play the same track several times in succession, the part that get played is always the same length. If I try another track and come back to the previous one, it still gets played for the same length of time as before....
I can play mp3 from thye same drive, or saved to the hard drive without any problem.
Anyone got an idea of where I should start looking? A Wiki search didn't throw anything (that I could see), same for the forum....
Thx
Damien

There is a CD drive and a DVD drive in that puter, though I can only plug one of them at a time. I get the same thing with both. Tried several CDs. They were all commercial audio CDs (ie, not copies), with no DRM. There are no visible scratch on them.
Also, the fact that I get the same issue in Xubuntu, seems to exonerate Xmms....
The fact that I can find the content of the CDs in /mnt/cd has more to do with the fact that this is where my fstab sets it to be (if I understand that process properly:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
