Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
help!

I have also had the same problem...
The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

  • Ipod cuts off digitally converted analog songs

    I converted a number of my vinyl albums to digital files so I could put them on my ipod. In the conversion process, something happened so that when I play the songs on my ipod, they cut off before the end. This is curious because when I fast forward through the songs on my ipod, all of the songs are there. I suspect that something in the conversion process messed up the listed times for the songs.
    Does anyone know of a way I can fix this?
    thanks

    They play correctly in itunes.
    The mistake I made was converting the ripped wave files into mp3s. Somehow the way this conversion was done did something to alter the listed times for the songs. The whole song is there but the ipod cuts off at an earlier time.
    If I could edit the files to change the listed time, I think I might be able to fool the ipod so that it plays the whole song.

  • My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

    My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

    Is it always the same songs that get cut off?  So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off?  Or are they different songs each time?  Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
    If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files.  Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot.  The corrupted songs stay the same.
    If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod.  If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable.  When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem.  It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync

  • ITunes cuts off some of my songs at exactly 3 minutes 6 seconds.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with up to date updates.  Strangely, the songs which used to play right through, now stop at exactly 3 minutes and 6 seconds.  The songs also cut off when I play then through my iPhone 4 after sycing.
    When I play the songs through VLC Media Player via Finder, they play right through perfectly.
    I wonder whether this is a fault that's come about through one of the Mountain Lion updates recently. 
    I've seen a lot of posts with people's songs being cut off short but none make reference to the exact cut off time of 3 minutes, 6 seconds.
    I have gone into Get Info for the songs in iTunes and specified the ending time of each song to the song's actual length but they still stop at 3 minutes 6 seconds.  Most of my songs play through fine - it's just a bizarre handful.
    I hope there's a workaround and would appreciate a solution.
    thanks for your time.

    Hello arcuspilot,
    I would be concerned too if some of my songs were not playing all the way through in iTunes.  Thank you for all the details you provided.  You have gone through some really good troubleshooting steps already. 
    The next thing I recommend is checking to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem.  You can find the steps to do that in this article:

  • Itunes plays songs, but ipod doesn't

    I am having a huge problem with my ipod! This is since I uploaded my songs to my computer and back to my ipod using eph pod. All of my songs seem to be on the ipod in formats that are okay, ie mp3 or m4p, but most of them are skipped by the ipod when I try to play them. All except for the mp3 files. I can't sync or anything like that, because i don't keep my music library on my computer, I backed it up to CDs. But when I plug my ipod into my computer, itunes plays ALL of the songs just fine. What should I do!!!!!
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    I'm just going to give you a quick how to... so here it goes.
    1. Back up all your songs into a folder on your computer.
    2. Install iTunes 7 www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and all relevant updates.
    3. Once that is done, use the backup/format install tool inside iTunes 7, comes up when you connect the iPod.
    4. Then add items to your library again, and transfer them to the iPod.
    Basically reformatting the iPod shoudl work. Make sure the the songs definatly play in iTunes and dont skip. You could find that the iPod has disk errors.
    Let me know how it goes.

    i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • IPod cuts of end of many songs

    After adding all the artwork to the .mp3's, I erased all the tunes on my ipod and re-loaded the songs from itunes. Well now many, but not all, songs are cut anywhere from 1-10 seconds short and the ipod moves on to the next song. I suspect the 'gapless playback' has mis-interpreted the data and is moving on too quickly. But of course I can't be sure. Anyone have any suggestions.

  • IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

    iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

  • When I click on a song iTunes tells me it is not authorized to play this song but when I authorize it, it tells me the computer is already authorized.  What do I do to play the songs?

    When I click on a song iTunes tells me it is not authorized to play this song but when I authorize it, it tells me the computer is already authorized.  What do I do to play the songs? 

    Delete the song from your Itunes music list, then redownload it, Itunes will ask you if you if you want to download it for free.  This seems to be the fix for my problems.

  • TS2529 Hi.  The mother board on my computer went and I had to get a new computer.  My itunes files were recovered from my old computer, but I am not sure how to go about syncing my ipod to the new itunes that I just downloaded.

    I am trying to sync my ipod and the new itunes library I just loaded.  My old computer basicall crashed and I had to get a new one.  They were able to recover all the data from my old computer, but there is no music listed in the new itunes library.  How do I get this to work as it did on the old computer?

    The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

  • IPod cuts off after 12-15 minutes of running.

    iPod cuts off after 12-15 minutes of running.  I'm using the Nike+ app. This happens frequently..

    Hi Chris,
    I have never used font management software/plugins, I use font book to validate my fonts. I have used imagenomic's noiseware for 32bit in the past but it is disabled as I am running in 64 bit. I do not use a lot of plugins etc. I did install the optional extention plugins from adobe when trying to solve the issues I have been having.
    I finally installed a firewire 800 harddrive to use as a scratch disk, I realize this is not ideal, but I am limited with my iMac.  I used it last night for around 7 hours and everything seemed to be working much better, my efficiency never dropped below 90% and I was able to flip my canval horizontal for the first time in months without receieving an error. I am hoping this is a longterm solution, howver I do not know why moving my scratch disk would affect my memory usage/efficiency.
    Thanks!
