IPod Touch 4G cuts off last few seconds of song.

My iPod touch cuts of the last few seconds of songs, the longer the song, the more is cut off. Think "Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace", lists the time as 9:40 in the playlist, but on the "now playing" screen is only 9:35. No problem in iTunes or my other 3 iPods with the same song. It's very consistent and always happens at the same place. "gapless album" setting makes no difference. I will try re-ripping the album with iTunes to see if that helps, but don't see why it should.

Resetting "almost" worked - the first time I played the song after resetting it showed 9:40 in the now playing screen, but ultimately it still cut off, and then when I restarted the song it again showed only 9:35. But thanks for the suggestion.
I re-ripped the album using iTunes, and it now plays fine. I am suspecting that the decoder used in the iPod touch is different from other iPods. Now I've got to go and re-rip all the albums that have the problem <groan>.

Shuffle cuts off last few seconds of the song

This morning when playing a playlist on Shuffle/Songs, iPod would cut off the last few seconds (15-30) abruptly and move on to the next track. I changed the shuffle to Album but with the same result. However, now in the afternoon, it is playing ok with the shuffle.
Has anyone else encountered such behavior? Could it be a bug in the software?

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

Encore Cutting Off Last Few Seconds of Burn

I created an avi file in Video Explosion Deluxe, which clocks in at 1:24:33. I've verified by playing the file on Windows Media Player that it plays fine all the way through to the end.
I imported it to Encore (I have the 3.0 version) as the only component in this particular project, and burned to DVD, at 7 Mbps, at a speed of 4x, which was the lowest speed option available.
Everything is fine until almost the end. It freezes at 1:24:28.
When I play the file in Encore to preview it before burning, it plays through to the end fine. So it recognizes the whole file.
I tried multiple more burns, and they always freeze 4-6 seconds from the end.
I then took that video file and imported it to Premiere Pro and created a new AVI file of the same thing. That behaves exactly the same when I burn to DVD with Encore.
I then started over and created the AVI file anew in Video Explosion Deluxe. Same result when I burn it to DVD with Encore.
I then created it as an mpeg file with Video Explosion Deluxe. Same result.
I then added a menu in Encore before burning. (I usually don't bother with a menu if there's just the one item instead of separate chapters.) Instead of freezing 4-6 seconds before the end, it plays to that point 4-6 seconds from the end and then reverts back to displaying the menu.
I then checked the last two DVDs I'd burned with Encore and realized that they too end 4-6 seconds before the end of the video file. (I don't mean of that same project; I mean two different projects with different video files. I just hadn't examined them closely enough when I burned them.)
I've experimented with just adding a few blank seconds to the end of the project in Video Explosion Deluxe or Premiere before creating the AVI file, but I haven't been able to make it come out right yet. For instance, I added ten blank seconds (making it 1:24:43 long, of which I really only want the first 1:24:33), and the subsequent DVD I burned froze at the 1:24:30 mark.
It's possible through trial and error I'll eventually figure out some way of adding the right amount of blank material to get it to stop at the 1:24:33 mark or just after, but this is silly, especially since it's apparently doing this with every project now and I don't want to be stuck trying to time this workaround just right every time.
Why won't it simply burn the entire file?

Appreciate the responses. On the rare occasions I've posted computer-related questions in online forums, they are nearly always greeted with silence, or the equivalent of "Read the manual and stop bothering us, newbie!" So it's a pleasant surprise when people actually try to help.
I've come up with another convoluted workaround that seems like it's actually working.
I'm making an additional AVI file of the last few seconds of each of the movies on VED.
So let's say it's a 1:20:00 AVI file that plays fine all the way to the end, but mysteriously when then burned to DVD stops at about the 1:19:55 mark.
I now have that AVI file, plus a six second file that is a duplicate of the 1:19:54-1:20:00 stretch of the first file.
I import both to Encore and place the full file on the timeline. I then chop off precisely the last six seconds of that, meaning it is now 1:19:54 long. Then I take my other six second AVI file and place it immediately after that back-to-back on the timeline. I watch that part in Encore before burning to make sure they fit together exactly--i.e., there's not a skip where a frame is missing or a frame is duplicated.
I've tried it on two, and both DVDs played through to the end as they're supposed to.
Evidently whatever screws up the last few seconds of the movies made with VED (which, by the way, never happened until the last couple days in all the years I've used VED) isn't affecting these little six or so second long AVI files I'm making to stick on the end. Maybe it's only files above a certain size or something that it's embedding some kind of mystery flaw near the end.
I'll be using primarily Premiere for my projects moving forward, so if this is solely a VED issue, I should be fine after this work I happen to be doing now.
Now, specifically on Hunt's suggestions, I've checked the projects on VED, and the video and audio tracks end at precisely the same frame.
Especially if my convoluted workaround stops working, I can next try adding that second or so of only video to the project before creating the video and audio files.
Just in perusing the options in VED, I'm not sure though if it's possible to make a video-only or audio-only file as you describe doing with Premiere. Is that (not "muxing") something that the more rudimentary video editing programs don't do? I know with VED I can simply delete all the content on the video tracks, say, or turn them off, but I don't think that gives me an audio-only WAV file. I believe it just means I'd end up with a conventional AVI file that happens to have a black screen as its video from start to finish.
So perhaps I could take the AVI file made with VED, place it on the Premiere timeline and there do the trick with the extra second of video. However, whatever the flaw is seems to be in the VED created AVI files, so I think anything done in Premiere with such a file after the fact would be too late.

IE cuts the last few seconds off my FLV videos

I have FLV (audio & video) clips on my website that
automatically play, then automatically take you to the next
scene...
work fine in Firefox, but not in IE...IE seems to cut off the
last few seconds before going to the next scene....anyone know
why?...there's also random audio "pops" only in IE....it's like IE
can't keep up with the frame rate or something?!?
(My FLV clips are not embedded in the SWF, but set up as
progressive in the same root directory on the same web server.)
check it out:
(2 clips: - "intro" & then click on any section and
there's another "4-second" clip)
http://mikepentaproductions.com/
any feedback would be greatly appreciated...this is my first
website and I can't believe how many issues I've been having,
trying to please both IE and Firefox...it's a conspiracy, I tell
ya!!
thanks for your time

IPod Touch 3G loses wifi every few seconds

I just purchased a new Touch 3G last night, and every few seconds it loses the wifi connection and reconnects. It does this over and over again consistently. When i go into wifi settings, i can actually see the settings for my wireless disappear, then reappear with a check mark beside it, every few seconds.
I've tried changing broadcast channel in router, from mixed to non-mixed G, resetting the router and iTouch, and release/renew. My laptop and desktop are connecting fine with the wireless, so i assume the issue is with the iTouch.
3.1.1 OS

Just recently purchased and mine does the same exact thing. Mine seems to show a strong 3 bar connection while in the WiFi settings menu. When I back out to Home, the signal indicator suddenly drops to one bar and will flucuate to 2 or 1 bar. I have done all the tricks mentioned here with my router as well. But in my home I use assigned static IP's. Every setting is correct on the iPod Touch's menu. Im lost as to why it does that.

Video playback audio cuts off after few second

Pictures are fine but audio cuts off sometime around 5-10 seconds for the entire duration of the video unless you skip the video further a few seconds where the sound cuts off,audio are back but only for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then if you repeat the same step audio are back but again for only a few minutes,only occurs when not using headphones,but when I am using headphones video and the audio plays fine for the entire duration of the video.It annoys me as I don't usually use earphone.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync/redownload
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPod Touch disconnects after only a few seconds

I just bought a iPod Touch yesterday and updated it with the new January software upgrade (Apple Mobile Device 1.1.3.26).
My PC has WinXP Pro with SP 2, iTunes 7.6.0.29 and QuickTime 7.4 installed. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime in an attempt to resolve this problem.
The problem is that after successfully copying around 10 to 40 songs the device disconnects and the following 2 errors show up:
First error: "The iPod "X" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Second error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "X" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod Touch to the original settings to see if there was a problem with the device but the issue persists.
I also ran the iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests from iTunes, the results are below:
|** iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests **

I have also tried using 2 separate USB 2.0 connections on the PC and the results are the same.
Finally I have an original iPod Nano that syncs fine with the current PC I am using.
I would really like to get this thing working, please help!

I'm not sure getting a Mac will solve this issue. The number of people having similar issues on Macs appears proportionately in line with Win users. Having said that, a switch will certainly result in a more pleasant and vastly more efficient user experience.
If you can get your hands on another usb/iPod cable, you might give it a try. Of the 4 usb/iPod cables in this house, only one is capable of getting my Touch recognized by my G4. To get that one to work it has to go in with a scraping sound/feel to it.
Make sure your drives don't fall asleep. This will generate the error messages you are getting. Though it strikes me as bizarre, I've noted that the sync and update process does not prevent my drives going into sleep mode. When that happens I get either of the error messages you got.
Most important in my case was there were image files that, although worked fine in iPhoto, Graphic Converter and Elements, would consistently cause an aborted sync. I batch resaved about 6,000 image files and have had no syncing problems since then.
I solved connection problems by simply plugging and unplugging the iPod end of the cable until it connects.

Last few seconds of stream cut off when recording a live stream

Hello,
I'm having a problem with recording a live webcam stream. The last few seconds of the stream is getting cut off.
The recording is stopped with the following piece of code:
            vid.attachCamera(null);
            vid.clear();
            ns.attachCamera(null);
            ns.attachAudio(null);
            ns.pause();
What could be causing this? Is the stream cut off too soon? Is the client unable to send buffered data to the server?
Kind regards,
FY

Thanks, I'll consider using ns.publish(false) . I've also managed to solve it using ns.close()

Ipod cuts the last five seconds off songs

My ipod allways cuts the last five seconds off songs. How do I stop it doing this?

Hi, Try deleting album artwork from songs on the ipod. Worked for me.

Itunes keeps cutting off the last few seconds of each track!

Help!
I'm trying to import from a CD, and for some (but not all) of the tracks being imported, when I go to play them from my Library, itunes skips the last few seconds of the song and jumps to the next one. Usually it wouldn't be a problem, because most tracks on CDs have some dead time at the end, but for these you are supposed to go directly from one track to another - without down time in between or skipping any of the track (one song is spread out over several tracks).
I've tried re-importing the tracks using both the AAC encoder and MP3 encoder, specifying the the track end at a particular time (stop time - this information shows up when I "get info" on the track, under options) and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD. itunes just doesn't play the full length of the track!
How do I get itunes to play each track to the very end before jumping to the next one?
Jen

and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD
iTunes should play the full track. Did you tick the 'Crossfade playback' checkbox in Preferences>Playback? If so, uncheck it.
If the problem persists you can check if it's an inporting problem or an iTunes setting problem by doing this:
In iTunes select a 'problemtrack'.
Choose 'Show Song File' from the File menu (command-R).
Select the file and control-click on it.
Choose 'Open With' and select 'Quicktime Player' as the program to open the file with.
Now play the 'problemtrack' in Quicktime Player to the end and see if it still skips the last seconds.
If it plays the full track, your imports are OK.
Hope this helps.

Last few seconds of some songs skipping

Under the new iTunes I am hearing the last few seconds of some songs skip or cut off abruptly when playing an album. If I go back to the songs and drag the slider near the end of the song they play fine. I reinstalled Itunes over top of itself but no joy. Has anyone else had this problem?. Thanks for any answers in advance. Allso I am running OSX Mavericks.

nope, not the cross fader. most songs play 100% fine, but i've noticed quite a few which just abruptly end around 30seconds before there supposed to. I origional thought it was a transfer error since I do have USB 1.1, but since the songs play fine off the ipod when using itunes, it can't be

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
