Ipod Only Plays First 3 Tracks Of An Album

I have an ipod classic 120 gig, had it couple of months now, all of a suddent its been playing up.
It will only play the first 3 trakcs of an album, it will then skip the rest, the tracks are fine as i can play them manually.
This also happens on shuffle it will play a couple of tracks then just wont play the rest.
Anyone else had this issue?

What happens if you try and convert this track to another format and then sync the new version over to your iPod?

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.

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. I've tried other headphones. Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

When I export fla as .mov, QuickTime only plays first 15 seconds. How can I make it play the whole file?

Try Deleting it from your device, then download again from purchase history.
Hope this helps

Bought album off itunes , only playing beginning of track then skipping to the next track

BOUGHT ALBUM OFF ITUNES BUT ONLY PLAYS PART OF TRACK THEN SKIPS TO NEXT TRACK ?

If you live in a country where downloading past purchases is available you can delete the song(s) and download them again. You can refer to this article for more help.

I downloaded an album from Itunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play.

I downloaded an album from i Tunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes of 26 minutes and then stop. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play. The Album is U.F.O. 2 One Hour of Space Rock.

Jim, wanted to let you know it worked. I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!! Thanks..

ITunes will only play first track from an album!

Hi all
Have recently upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and it's broken!! For some unknown reason when double clicking on an album in my library, unlike in old iTunes the whole album would play, it now only plays the first track then stops. It will play all the tracks, but I have to keep selecting the next track to play. I want the old, fully working and polished iTunes I'm used to, not this half baked ill thought & rushed out alleged "upgrade"
Any help or advise would be gratefully appreciated.

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - control-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

My iPod only plays one song at a time

I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
So far, so good.
The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any advice gratefully received.

Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

HT5557 audiobook only plays first minute

I have Windows 8 and the newest version of Itunes. I have recently purchased audiobooks from Itunes and on both my ipod and iphone, only the first few minutes plays. I've purchased audiobooks before and never had a problem. I've searched this problem and tried suggestions. I changed to a music file; get info>options>media kind. This worked for 2 of the 4 audiobooks. But the other 2 will not work regardless of what I do. Frankly I'm tired of messing with this, but I paid for these and should not have this much trouble listening to them. Can anyone help?

This happened to all of my audiobooks after switching to a new comuter. Find your receipt email or access your account and you will see a 'report a problem button' press this for one of them and up will pop a text box - set out which are faulty and how and ask for them to be redownloaded for you. I had around 20 audiobooks doing excatly this and within a day or two of reporting the problem and identifying all affected books they were all waiting for me to download again wen I next accesed Itunes home page. Worked a treat. No quibble. Hope helps. . . .

Slideshow only plays first song in 3 song playlist

I created a playlist in iTunes for my slideshow. But the iPhoto slideshow only plays the first song in the list over and over again, even if I selected a playlist of three songs when I clicked on the Music button.
Using iPhoto 08 v7.1.5

Have you tried creating the playlist in iPhoto?
Click to view full size
Find the second and third tracks via the Finder and check their ownership and permissions.
Another test you can run is to create a new, test library, import the same number of photos as you have in your slideshow and see if you can create a slideshow and play the 3 tracks fully. If you can then the issue lies in your primary library.

Ipod only plays, or functions when plugged in

I have a 30gb ipod first i thought my battery was dead, now it turns out that it will only charge with a wall charger(direct)not the one that you can use the usb cable with, and it will only play, or function for that matter when its plugged in. As soon as you unplug the charger or ipod it stops, and soon as you put it back on the charger you can use the menus and the music will play.Help!!

Well, I now believe that the battery is shot.
I'm suspecting that your charger uses the 12V Firewire pins instead of the 5V USB pins. That would be enough to overpower a dead battery and allow the unit to operate but, of course, because the battery is shot, the iPod quits when you disconnect the charger. The USB chargers use 5V and that isn't enough to overpower a completely destroyed battery.
I could be wrong but that's the only logical explanation that I can think of.

IPod only playing music through one earphone

My ipod (5th gen) is only playing music through one earphone! Its definitely not the earphones because they work perfectly fine in my iphone. What could the problem be?

first off try a different set of headphones, just because they work in x doesn't mean they will work in y. Second try cleaning it- blowing in it, compressed air, more than likely there's a piece of lint or dirt stuck in there. reset, update or restore the ipod. at your own risk you could check to see that all internal connections are seated properly as these zif connectors can come loose. if nothing you probably need a new audio jack

AVI File Captured in Premiere Elements 8 Only Plays First Few Minutes

Hello folks,
I'm totally new to this. My problem: I've recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and used it to capture some mini DV video tapes (via firewire), without any significant problems (other than a few freezes). Now I've tried to capture some VHSC tapes via my TV card (Avermedia H727). The capture process went well (except that the preview screen was just a fuzzy mess!) but I had to plug the audio inputs into my sound card (onboard) rather than the TV card.
The caputred files are about 6 + Gb for a 30 minute tape but when playing the captured video back in PrE8 only the first few minutes is available (the length of playback seems to vary unpredictably (1 tape allowed 3 minutes of playback, another a bit less).   The full avi files can be played back in Roxio or Windows Media Player etc but not PrE8.
Interestingly, videos captured from VHSC via the same TV card in Roxio 2010 Pro will play back correctly and fully in PrE8.   I had to switch audio inputs to the TV card (rather than the soundcard) for the audio to be captured with Roxio.
My son has tried to help me with this (having some experience on PrE2) but he's also drawn a blank with this.
I'd be very grateful for any help that you might be able to give as I've not found anything in FAQ although it's not easy to succintly define my search for this problem.
Many thanks

Thanks John:
My PC has 2 HDDs and both are of the “green” variety. Both are partitioned (2 partitions on each HDD) with operating systems on the first partition (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on one and Windows XP Pro -32 bit on the other, the operating systems are on different physical drives).
The tips relating to PrPro are hard to follow as they are quite technical and I’m not even sure which ones also relate to PrE8.   It would take me an age to try to wade through this lot.
My point is that my current setup (for all its imperfections) will capture video (via the TV card) using PrE8 as the capture software. The setup must be adequate for this task as the complete avi file is played back correctly on Roxio and Windows Media Player but PrE8 fails to recognise any video after the first 3 minutes (approx).
If I capture to PrE8 using a firewire connection from my mini DV video camera then the capture proceeds normally (apart from odd freezes) and the captured video is all playable in PrE8.
When capturing using the mini DV camera, I select "DV camcorder" in the “Get Media” menu. However, this only supports Firewire or USB sources.   When capturing from the VHSC tapes via the TV card I have to select “Webcam or WDM Device” as the media source (I’m not convinced that this is the most suitable capture mode but it’s the only one I can find that doesn’t look for either a firewire or USB device.
It seems as though PrE8 must be putting some code onto the captured video that prevents more of it from playing back because avi files recorded on Roxio will playback fully.   I've tried to copy the PrE8 avi files into a different folder (devoid of any PrE8 project files) and then renaming the file before importing into PrE8 but still only the first few minutes will play.   My thinking here was that perhaps one of the other associated project files that PrE8 creates might be the source of the corrupt info.
Many thanks for your interest and taking the trouble to respond.

Itunes plays normally, iPod only plays a piece of the song

I have one song that plays normally in iTunes 3:49 sec. Once synced to the iPod, it only plays about :30 sec of the song. Out of 3000 songs, this is the only one that does this. Why would iTunes play it fine but not my iPod?

You are the best at what you know and do. This is my exact same problem. the song is LOW by Flo-Rida. (you know it, APPLE BOTTOM JEANS, BOOTS WITH THE FUR?) plays 3:53 in itunes but only 0:16 seconds on ipod. OUT OF 1785 SONGS, THIS IS MY ONLY PROBLEM. i have tried every thing you suggested in forum, with no fix. is there a way to delete the song from my COMPUTER? i think when i get new song and down load, it uses the old corrupt file? even though i delete it from itunes AND my ipod BEFORE i get the "new" song? i have done this "fix" 5 times now, too coincidental it stops at 16 seconds EVERY TIME. please help me. im going crazy!
