IPhone iTunes skipping songs

Music that used to play like normal on my iPhone iTunes are now being skipped. I have synched my phone back up with my computer and that helped for a time, but now it is doing it again. I see the song and title come up on the screen, but then it is shuffled to another song it can play.
What is going on?

  • ITunes skips songs, when import to iPhone all songs are 2:34 length (they aren't)

    So my iTunes and iPhone are completely FUBAR and I can't find any solution.
    I have an iPhone 4s on version 7.0.4. I am currently using iTunes 11.2.1. Late 2011 Macbook Pro running 10.8.5, whichever cat that is.
    Starting in December 2013, most new songs I import into iTunes will skip at random points in the song to the end of the song. There was no pattern as far as I could tell, though it didn't seem to be happening with music bought from iTunes. Music from CDs, bandcamp, etc. was the problem. For example, a song with a length of 5:55 would randomly skip to the end at 3:46. But, if I manually skipped to any point after 3:46 it would play the normally skipped part fine.This was not a huge problem as I could then import the songs to my iPhone and listen on there with no skipping.
    In the past few weeks though, now every song I import to my iPhone cuts off at 2:34. Every single song. They skip in iTunes at a random point, then I import them to my phone where they skip at 2:34 (and are labelled as only 2:34 long), and then after being imported to my iPhone they skip at 2:34 in iTunes as well.
    Last night, for absolutely no reason, about 80% of my music disappeared from my phone. It's still there, but can't be played for some reason. So I tryed syncing to my computer, but lo and behold, every song on my iPhone is now 2:34.
    Please help, I'm very close to burning all of my devices in a fire and starting over.

    I also have this problem, but on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop. My income level no longer permits me to purchase Apple computers. Anything that I've bought off of the iTunes store, most of it's ten to six years old, will not play any further than 2:34. I just knew when I agreed to this "protected music" business I'd find myself a decade down the line staring at an expensive but unplayable music collection.

  • Iphone 5 skipping songs

    My newish iphone 5 (about a month and a half old) is skipping songs randomly. I will click on a song and it goes through 3-4 and then goes back to the main music screen. Any one know what I can do?

    I have same problem with iPhone 5 - just 3 months old. Won't download some music from Cloud or iTunes Match. Don't know what to do beyond syncing with computer except go to Apple store for tech assistance.

  • ITunes Skipping Songs/Part Songs

    Hi,
    I purchased an Apple iPod 3-4 years ago and loaded music into iTunes and purchased songs from the iTunes store.
    Late 2007 I started experiencing problems with songs starting then skipping partly through and moving on to the next song. This occured both for uploaded music and songs purchased from the store.
    I put this down to a fault with my iPod and so purchased a new iPod Touch at the start of 2008. I sync'd with my existing iPod account and have the same library but the problem persisted. It also appears to be progressive in that a song that played okay last week won't play okay this week. Once it starts skipping it is "fixed" i.e. the song will always skip from that same point in all future playbacks.
    I have done a reset on my iTouch but the problem persists - which suggests to me it is iTunes-based, in that it has happened on two separate machines tied to the iTunes account.
    Interestingly there is no skipping problem when I play affected songs through iTunes on my Dell PC.
    Any suggestions as to what is happening? And importantly on how I rectify it? It is extremely frustrating.
    Thanks
    Peter

    I just want to add to this concern that my iTunes also skips and it would be nice to get a little bit of help on this.
    iTunes it skipped songs i.e. a song will play halfway through and then skips to the next song.
    1) This problem is usually limited to all songs in a particular albums. One of them, for example, is in MPEG-1, Layer 3 format. Media Kind set to Music and other options unchecked.
    2) A similar yet different problem I have is that some albums play fine under iTunes but the skipping problem occurs under iPod. For example, I have a language course album, so I've tried under Media Kind = Music or Audiobook, but the problems remains

  • IPhone 4S skips songs after iOS 6 update. What is wrong with it?, iPhone 4S skips songs after iOS 6 update. What is wrong with it?

    After I updated to iOS 6 when I listen to music. It skips songs. When I tap to play a song it skips 2-6 songs and plays a random song. Why is this? Can it be fixed?

    AAAhhhh.. c'mon Apple this is REALLY annoying.
    OK - before the IOS6 update... ituenes match worked fine.  Now... i have songs skipping.  It will show the artwork for a brief moment and then automatically move onto the next song.
    I've tried everything, turning both match on device and itunes on and off, restore etc.
    Anybody any solutions?  I suggest we all demand our money back for itunes match for a start as I'm not paying for a product that doesn't work!  I'm sure if we all do this Apple will hurry up and get it sorted!

  • IPhone/iTunes skipping through songs quickly

    The iTunes app on my iPhone 5 is having serious issues playing a specific artist. When I pull them up to play, select songs individually or shuffle, it skips through them very quickly (40 something songs in about 6 seconds) and doesn't play any of them. It happens to be only this one particular group I am trying to listen to.
    Any one else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Everything is on iCloud and can't figure out how to try and replace the songs.

    Having the same problem!

  • IPhone 4S skipping songs/won't play some

    I recently updated my iPhone 4S, in doing so, I had to reset it and restore it from my back up. Now that I've done that, when I'm playing music from my iTunes, it wil skip the most recently added songs and won't play them at all if you try and click on them manually to play them. It shows them as on my phone in my iTunes on the computer, but won't play them. HELP! Alot are for my wedding and I can't figure out how to fix this!!

    Hi, In my case I had a memory space problem. Some songs were on the phone and some not.
    - Gain space on your phone (copy alle the photos to hard drive before, then delete them)
    - Sync your phone again with iTunes, he will copy the songs on your phone

  • How can i stop iPhone from skipping songs?

    Hi all,
    I have a iPhone 4 and on some albums when i go to play the song it justs skips to the next song. But, if im quick and can drag the slider so it skips to like 3 seconds in, it will then play the song! It will also play the song if i leave the whole album running. It just wont play if i select the song... Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi all.
    Possible fix:
    Had this annoying issue, or similar. Songs on my iphone 4 would skip untilit found a song it could play, but often left up on the screen a different song to the one playing. It appeared songs hadnt been transferred or were missing causingthe phone to skip the songs.
    I heard that if you get a 'weird' beep noise this is the 'shake to shuffle' feature which can be turned off via Settings>Music.
    If you have a similar issue to mine, I read converting to AAC (right click song in Itunes and choose 'convert to AAC) could work, and did for me, but is time consuming and duplicates the song.
    What worked for me? Turning off 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' on the Devices>Your Iphone main menu (device summary page). This reloads all songs to the iphone and appears to fix the issue. I have checked a few songs I knew had issues and they now work, and I can get through 10+ shuffle songs (thats as many as I checked) without a skip.
    Good luck. Let me know if it works.

  • Iphone 4S skips songs like they don't exist or stops playing

    Hi all,
    Just upgraded to the new iphone from my 3gs.  I've noticed that when playing my music, sometimes the song will skip to the next track or stop playing all together.  Anyone else having this issue? And any ideas on how to fix it.
    Thankyou!

    You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage).  They are stored in the iTunes store, and the cloud symbols are links to your previous purchases.  If you don't want to see them, hide them on the purchased list in iTunes on your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

  • ITunes skipping songs in Playlists

    As of today, iTunes has started skipping playing certain songs in my iTunes library and playlists. These could be songs purchased or converted from CDs, it seems no pattern. On all tracks I can click get info, read all information on the track, browse to the folder the track is in and all is fine. Typically in a playlist of 60-70 songs it will play maybe 10 tracks.
    If I click the track directly from the folder to play, it wont. All songs have numerous plays in the past and been working fine. I dont want to rebuild the playlists if possible as some are 300 songs+ that have accumulated over years. The files themselves seem fine but just wont play. I have also updated iTunes to latest version and checked the drive for errors but all is ok.

    Should add it appears to be affecting every playlist on the machine, and at a similar ratio of 1 song in 10-20 perhaps playing.

  • IPad and iTunes skips song

    I bought a song on iTunes today and when i try to play it, it will skip the song about halfway. It does the exact same thing on my iPad. Any help please!?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks 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 you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    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.

  • IPhone keeps skipping songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is a recurring problem for me as well. I sync my music and there will be songs that play about half way and then just skip. It is not a problem with a file format because it did it the other day with a protected .m4p file. Now if I remove the file from the playlist and then resync it will be fine but then some other files are messed up. It will also add distortion to a file that is not there when I play it on the PC. The files also play just fine on 3 other ipods (a shuffle, a 3g 30 gig, and a 80gb classic).
    Yes, I have tried resets, and have done at least 3 restores and the problem has not been fixed. I suggest you try to play your music on shuffle and see if the problem occurs. It has to be more widespread than this. Come on apple! fix this! It has gotten to the point where I have to keep a pen and paper handy when I listen to music so I can write down which files need to be removed and resynced when I get home. This is ridiculous!!!
