IPhone stops playing songs in middle then goes to next... why??

I noticed after the last update that my iPhone just stops playing certain songs in the middle of them and goes to the next one. I don't know what the problem is. It seems that cds that I have ripped and put on my phone work great all the time, but the ones that I download from iTunes and put on my phone don't work. I haven't had this problem until just recently and it's starting to get very annoying. Is there anything that I can do about it.... is this a common problem?

I actually have a song that plays back perfectly in iTunes. It also plays back fine when selecting the song on the iPhone through iTunes. However, when disconnecting the iPhone and playing it back just through the iPhone the song will distort after 16-17 seconds and skip to the next song. This doesn't happen however if I manullay skip the first 17 seconds of the song. It's a strange circumstance. I just decided to delete the song all together from my iPhone.

  • Song stops playing in the middle and goes on to the next song...

    I tried downloading the most recent itunes version, but my CPU says theres an error...so yeah...going on:
    This one song I recently bought form itunes: "A*s Itch" by KoRn will play fine until it hits -1:42 and moves on to the next song (or restarts the song on repeat).
    It's happened before, to other songs that is, but it usually just fixes itself. If there is a way to fix it WITHOUT needing to update itunes (since my CPU won't let me)then any advice or directions to fix it would be grateful.

    I have a bunch of songs imported from CD that are now much shorter than the originals; hundreds of songs are cut off. A song may be 3-4 minutes long, but iTunes shows it's only 45 seconds, whether played on iPod or iTunes. The only way I can see to fix it is to re-import each CD. Unfortunately, I have about 1,000 CD's. Any suggestions?

  • When using iPod in my iPhone it plays for a minute then goes to pause, how do I stop this?

    When I play iPod music on my phone it will play for a few seconds, even minutes & then will sort of crackle/hesitate and the player goes to pause.
    I hit the play again & the same happens.
    I have tried a soft reset, any idea what else I can do?

    Chea,
    8-3 isn't, strictly speaking, a number, so Numbers guesses it's a Date when the default format of Automatic is in force. You can override the guess by formatting the cell to something other than Automatic.
    It may seem perverse to you, but formatting the cell as Number prior to enterint the string 8-3 causes it to be presented as Text. This will solve your problem, I suppose, since it will not longer be a Date/Time object.
    On the other hand, if you were tring to express an operation involving two numeric values and the subtraction operator, then you could write: =8-3. The resulting display would then be 5.

  • I've got 2 issues. 1- song stops playing in the middle and jumps to next song 2- one song won't play at all on my auth. device and states that I need to authorize my device.

    I've already done the steps recommended... deleted file, unauthorized and reauthorized device. Only thing left to do is delete songs, but what if it happens again?

  • IPhone stops playing Protected AAC songs

    My iPhone stops playing songs in the middle.  All the songs that stop are Protected AAC songs-old purchases.  It happened on a 3G, and now on a new 4GS.  They play fine on my computer.  Sometimes it skips to the next song automatically, sometimes you can skip manually, occasionally it loses its way entirely.  It's been happening for the last few months, but not too often in my library.  It is perfectly repeatable for each song, down to the second it stops, but the timing varies by the song.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • Songs stop playing in the middle of the track

    Ok, so I've got hundreds on songs in my library and I noticed that certain songs stop playing in the middle of the song on my iPod. I get dead air, and then it starts playing the next song on the list even though the screen still shows the album art of the song that died. I have deleted the song from my player and then re-downloaded the song straight from iTunes only to have it happen again. I decided to run a little test and play that track on both my iPhone (3GS) and iPod (iPod Touch bought 2013) and sure enough, the song dies around the exact same time on both devices. I did not try syncing either devise to my computer (music files are not on my computer hard drive, but on a separate hard drive), so it wasn't like I kept removing and syncing a corrupted file. Now I'm finding more and more tracks have this same issue. So I have two questions:
    1.) Is there a way to identify corrupted music files on my devices or will have to listen to each track in it's entirety to identify whether it is corrupted or not?
    2.) Will I need to repurchase these tracks in order to correct the problem of playing in it's entirety?

    I have similar problem on two photo sleeks - affecting the same songs. I think it is a problem in the ripping of the CDs rather than the hardri'ves - otherwise it would affect different songs?

  • Music stops playing in the middle of my song

    All types of music I play (YouTube, purchased etc. ) just stops playing in the middle of the song and still has the pause button as if the music was still playing. This isn't the first problem I've had with the iPhone recently. My camera had condensation in it at what point and no water had gotten on the phone. Also, my lol button recently stopped working and it isn't stuck or anything. I don't understand why there has been so many issues with the phone. I take very good care of it and I have a lifeproof on it.

    - First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
    - The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - Try both headphones and speaker.
    - If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

  • IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song

    I've had the same iPod classic for seven years.  It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song.  I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again.  Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping.  The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops.  This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this?  I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything.  I always keep the battery fully charged.

    See if this helps ... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21623941#21623941

  • TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

    My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
    When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
    Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
    Would appreciate any help, thanks

    - The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
    - Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
    Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing in the middle of song

    Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing song randomly while listening. What gives?

    i think i FINALLY solved the problem - by simply switching the wire that connects my ipod to my computer (i was using a firewire, and switched to a usb).
    Did you by any chance have the iPod connected through a hub , or through another device, G?
    Its not uncommon to have issues like this occur if , for example, you have a firewire device equipped with a "Prolific" 3507 firewire bridge . THese are found in many cheap external FW enclosures used for external burners and HD's , for example. The only real solution is to disconnect all such devices to avoid interruptions on the FW bus. (or, at least with the iPod, you can simply use USB2 instead).
    Cheers

  • HT1689 My IPhone stopped playing any audio except the ringtone.  Any ideas?

    My IPhone stopped playing audio such as my music or applications with audio.  The only sound it makes is the ringtone.  I read some blogs where people said to plug in headphones and then unplug them.  I tried that and actually had audio a couple of times but then it was gone again.  Any ideas?

    You could have dust, or a partical in the headphone port that is causing your phone to think there are headphones plugged in. Look into the port and gently blow it out if there is anything in it.

  • IPhone stops playing music

    My iPhone stops playing music.  It only happens and happens conistently on certain files, old  Protected AAC files I bought from iTunes.  It seems to happen mostly (or always) at the same time, one minute eight seconds in. I notice it most on Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle, but also on other music from the same era of my downloads.  Sometimes you can just skip to the next song, sometimes it has lost its way worse.  It happens on both my new iPhone 4S as well as my old 3GS.

    They play fine on the computer, just not on the iPhone.

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.
