Ipod only plays 1 minute and 52 seconds of a song....PLEASE HELP!

Okay, so today I put my Ipod on Speakers and played an album.
It played fine until one track.
On that track, it played the song fine, until up to the 1 min 52 second mark.
I thought "okay, maybe this happens on my speakers". So I decided to test to see if the ipod plays the song on stand alone headphones.
However when I put it in the headphones and played the same song, the ipod stops at 1 min and 52 secs. WTH?
I have never had this problem before...
There's nothing wrong with the song, it plays fine on Itunes, and it plays fine on Windows Media Player and other programs, so why doesn't it play fine on my Ipod?
I will be greatful for any help because this is kind of a series issue that i'd like to urgently get solved! Thanks!

Well that's odd. Since it plays OK in itunes on your PC, I wonder if the file is corrupted on just the ipod.
I would take it off the ipod and put it back on.

  • HT2045 I bought a song, which played on my computer. When I tranfered it to my IPod,only the first 30 seconds of the song plays. Help please!

    Please help me.  I bought a song which played on my computer, but when I tranfered it to my IPod, only the first 30 seconds of it will play. Help please. Is there a way I can contact Apple to complain, because I'm not paying $1.29 for the first 30 seconds of a song. Or is there anyway to fix it? (note: i have already synced my Ipod and it has the latest version of ITunes)

    Im having a similar promblem! Only its doesnt work on my Itunes library and the song ends at 49 seconds. Have you fixed your problem yet?
    p.s. my discussion is on the following page but no one has responded yet as I only just posted it.

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song.  Help.

    I just loaded up my Itunes software, and tried importing some of my CDs into my Itunes library. But it only transfers a few seconds of each song before moving on to the next one.
    Does anyone know how to correct this? I've reinstalled the software once already, but nothing changed.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem on 1 PC but it imports OK on Itunes installed on my laptop.

  • 5th gen iPod will only play 1st few seconds of certain songs

    Have a 5th gen ipod, 30gb, with about 21gb on it. Its only recently starting to play the 1st 10-15 seconds of certain songs and then it'll skip to the next. It's happening to purchased songs as well as cd imports. Seems to be getting worse, anyone experienced anything similar??

    I guess there is not a solution.

  • I downloaded an album and the first few songs only play to 15 seconds of the song then the skip to the next one. I cant listen to them past those few seconds. What do I do to listen to the whole song?

    So I downloaded the Ellie Goulding album and the first few songs only play up to 15 seconds of the song and then skip to the next one. It wont let me drag the scroller to a further point in the song because when I do it doesnt play and goes to the next one. But it isn't on the other songs. just the first 3 or 4. what do I do?I could rebuu the songs that would be a waste. I have a PC so i am having a hard time calling for support because I dont know the serial number.

    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.

  • I have a new 160GB iPod Classic. I often listen to it for many hours at a time. Even with Itunes and the Classic set on shuffle it repeats songs often and only plays a small fraction of my songs. Help!            of my

    When listening for hours to my new Clasic 160 with several thousand songs and both itunes and the Classic set to shuffle all songs it only plays a small fraction of my library and plays many songs several times over that period. It also seems to pick a small different group of songs to repeat without touching many of most of my songs each time I start listening. Over 98% of the music is legally owned in my CD collection. A few are down loads which play! There should be no issues with ownership. Please help. As much as I like all my tunes I want to actually hear them all. There are many many albums that have never been played.

    Okay, well we've eliminated a couple of things.
    One thing I have noticed about the iPod Classic: I suspect that "shuffle" is actually a Playlist, not a real shuffle. The Classic is not as powerful as iTunes or a desktop/computer, so it cannot truely "shuffle songs". I suspect what happens is that every Sync of the Classic with its iTunes Library causes a revised "shuffle playlist" to be put on the iPod and then, when you choose Shuffle play, it actually uses that special hidden "shuffle playlist".
    So one trick is to Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently. This would change the "shuffle playlist". Another trick would be to create your own Playlists, either by adding what you want to a Regular Playlist or by creating a Smart Playlist which adds and removes songs by itself.
    Smart Playlists: for example, you can create a Smart Playlist (in iTunes) which contains a random selection of all songs, or a random selection of a particular group of songs, provided the song has not been played for a period of time, say six months, or 300 days. Every Sync of the iPod with iTunes would remove any song from that Smart Playlist if it has been played. That same song cannot go back into the Playlist for a period of six months, or whatever you choose.
    This way, you can reduce the likelyhood of hearing the same songs too often. This brings me to another point. If you have the same song, on different albums, then it's possible that you are hearing that same song but from both albums.
    Try this: in your iTunes Library,
    look for and click on the big + button and choose New Smart Playlist..., if you do not have the Sidebar displayed, switch to the Playlists view where you will find it in the bottom left corner,
    Set it up to look like this:
    It creates a list of songs that have not been played for fifteen weeks. It excludes videos and in my iTunes Library, it has 527 songs in it. If you would like a smaller list than that, click on the Limit to and fill in the number of songs you want.
    Having set it up, play some songs from it (in shuffle mode if you wish) and watch how it changes . The song must play through to the end of the track before it is classed as "played". If you like it, let it go onto your iPod. You could set up a few Playlists, each with their own rules. Even if a song appears in two different Smart Playlists, if you have the "last played is not in the last" rule in both lists, then playing the song will eliminate it from both lists. None of this removes songs from the iPod (unless you use Sync selected Playlists...).

  • Itunes only plays first few seconds of a song...

    I have a mac mini that I purchased last summer and have recently been having itunes problems. I have had no internet at home for a couple months but I believe itunes was up to date when I last had online access. I think I upgraded to Yosemite? But honestly can't remember. I am on my work computer and far from home.
    So starting a couple of weeks ago, when playing certain albums in itunes, it would play the first 5-10 seconds of a song and then jump to another song on that album. I could switch albums and it would play fine. Sometimes. But the problem has worsened and now I cannot play anything in itunes without this happening. Very frustration to say the least. I have tried restarting itunes and restarting the machine with and that has not helped. Maybe a reinstall of itunes? Sounds like that will need internet access to get re-updated and such? Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hmmmm. I see a lot of questions and issues with iTunes in this here forum but not many answers and solutions to those problems. Seems Apple has been taking some missteps lately and forgetting a big part of what got them to where they are: their stuff worked with ease. Seems so many more stumbling steps these days.

  • Song plays for 13 seconds, then stops. Please Help!

    This has never been an issue until now, and it is only this one song. I downloaded the song "U and Dat" by E-40, along with "Me and U" by Cassie, "Tell Me When To Go" by E-40, "It's Going Down" by Yung Joc, "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray, and "Bossy" by Kelis (please note that I am not having this issue with these songs) about 30 minutes ago and I put it on my iPod. Shortly after, I connected my iPod to my iHome to listen to the song, and it only played for 13 secongs, and then went on to the next song on my list. So naturally, I tried it again and it did the same thing. After that, I listened to the next song all the way through with no issues. So, figuring something might be wrong with my iHome, I connected my iPod to my iDog, and got the same results. So I connected my iPod to my compter to see if I had the same issue when I played it on iTunes, and it played all the way through. So now, I am clueless on what the problem could be and getting madder by the second, so if anyone knows how to fix this problem or has had this problem before, I'd really like some feedback. Thanks!

    Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

  • Suddenly my mac uses only all caps and I can't restart, please help!

    Suddenly my mac started using only 'all caps', and also 'select all' with 'left click' in both iTunes and Chrome. I tried to restart, but it will only attempt to open in safe mode, and it will not accept my password. I assume this is because it will only type in capitals, so I cannot get in at all, even with my OS disk.
    This is not because of the caps lock button. I tried this many times. My cat may have walked on my keyboard though. When this happened, I was copying unlinked descriptions from Chrome to iTunes podcasts. I have shut down to restart several times, and my new wired aluminum keyboard is 4 weeks old.
    About 3 weeks ago I did a complete erase of my hard drive and installed snow leopard and iWork 9 from disk, updated them, and only added my documents back on from a bootable backup. Then I downloaded Lightroom 4, and imported a few thousand photos from an EHD. My iTunes library is on a seperate EHD. Everything has worked perfectly until now. I do have a recent Time Machine backup. My APS uninterruptable power supply is about 2 weeks old.
    What can I do now?

    Problem solved, it was my new mac keyboard, only four weeks old.
    My old mac keyboard works fine except for the row of keys on the far right,
    which is why I got a new one.
    Hard to believe a bad keyboard could mess up a mac that badly!

  • Ipad only plays a few seconds of my songs?

    How can I fix this; I've tried everything I can think of?

    I have this problem too and the only thing that seems to help is to re-import the CD into iTunes. It corrected the problem. I only seem to have the problem with CDs that I imported into iTunes mysel--not purchased music. Make sure that you click replace so that you don't have the same CD twice in your library.

  • Ipod classic problems: screen and connecting to windows..PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Ok, so I know many people have problems connecting their ipod classics to computers, it seems like it only happens to classics. But anyways, lately my ipod screen has also been doing weird stuff like cutting words in half..(example: instead of music it would show usic. etc.) Has this happened to anyone else? It has also erased some of my music, but luckily I was able to get it back. Does anyone know how to fix any of these problems?
    thanks!

    I definetley think apple should work on that model, I've have friends who purchased a zune and haven't had problems with it at all since then. They did say it is difficult to find cases and car plugs, etc. for zunes though, I don't think I'd purchase one just because I like the way ipods work better ( controls, screen layout, etc.) but besides that I'd say they're pretty nice.
    I just realized it was probably a bad idea to mention zunes on an Apple forum, but what the heck!

  • HT203167 Some songs only play a few seconds

    Just downloaded new John Mayer, Born and Raised, album and there are about 6 songs that will start playing but only play a few seconds of the song and the skip to the next track.  Can't find any answers in iTunes support.  Any suggestions????

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past 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 available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Only 1 minute and 30 seconds of the song plays that I pick

    Just bought a new computer and downloaded iTunes, as I previously had it downloaded on a laptop. My song library shows up, but when I play a song, only 1 minute and 30 seconds of the song plays. Is this fixable?

    I just downloaded a song and only got 1 min. 30 sec.  It's suppose to be a 2 min. 35 sec. song.  Did you find out how to get the complete song?  If not, it's a waste of money and confidence in Apple.  Thanks!

  • Downloaded a cd and the songs are only 1 minute 30 seconds long. what do I do?

    I downloaded an entire cd of 15 songs and when I went to listen to them, each song was only a minute and 30 seconds long. They were just like the samples. I paid $9.99 for the cd and the amount was immediately deducted from my account. What do I have to do to get the full versions of the songs without being charged again for them??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.  If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773

    This and similar incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here.  I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.
