Itunes 10.4.1 end of songs cut-off: not crossfade or start/stop settings

the end of many songs is skipped during playback with itunes 10.4.1
its usually after about 3:40 minutes.
it is not the crossfade or the start/stop settings of the tracks in the 'info' section.
this has just STARTED happening. Anybody else getting this? Is it some recent update bug?
any advice?

ITunes started opening automatically about every 30 seconds on my P.C. - I realised that the last thing I did when I connected my iPad to my PC (last time using my USB cable connection) was to put a "X" in the box that said "Sync using wifi". I re-connceted my iPad by the cable and I unchecked this box, iTunes stopped opening automatically every 30 seconds.
My PC was obviously looking for my iPad by wifi every 30 seconds,

ITunes sync problems - incomplete sync and songs cut off

I have two problems. One is longstanding and the other is new.
The new one is that I bought an iPhone 6 a few weeks ago. I mostly love it, but many iTunes songs from my Mac (10.9.5 iOS, with iTunes 11.4) have not properly synced onto the iPhone. The songs that will not play are greyed out with a circle containing a square that is grayed out. I suspect those are songs that have not properly downloaded, but I really don't know. I have seen a discussion thread from people with this problem with Yosemite, but I have not upgraded yet.
The other problem is old. Some synced songs on both my new iPhone and an older iPod cut off the end of the song. I know that this has been going on for a long time, but the folks at the Genius Bar look like they have never heard of it before.
I love my my music. Help, please!

Does it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
Does it always happen with the same songs?
The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.

Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

ITunes songs cut off early

Heyas;
So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
Any suggestions?
I use a Mac Mini 10.4 and a Windows 7 PC. I keep both iTunes libraries synced up.

I have the same problem. It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later. I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library. Then I go back to the store and redownload it. It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again. Say Yes. You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process. I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this. So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...

A downloaded song cuts off at the end - how can i get the full song

I recently downloaded a new song, but the song cuts off at the end. How can I get the full song?

Try update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 version and see if it rectifies the issue.

When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again. Anyone know why?

I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again. I haven't had this problem before.

Hi kjackson73,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
Download past purchases

Best,

My songs cut off before they end on my iphone.

Same problem. I have submitted feedback. It appears that a significant number of people are experiencing the same problem and have been for months - yet, no official response of correction from Apple. This problem is also affecting the 'Match' product they're trying to sell. I would recommend waiting until this problem is fixed before signing up for Match.

All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

Songs cutting off

A month ago I bought an album, a few of the songs on said album cut off towards the end( last 10 seconds or so, no big deal just annoying). Today I bought an album and same issue is happening only some songs cut off about 10 seconds in. I've tried playing the songs in another media player but the same thing happens. These two albums are the only things I've purchased at the itunes store in the past 2 months. The rest of my library is unaffected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Something similar happens to me, too, except the song will cut off and the screen reverts back to the default home screen. Like you, these are the same songs that play in my iPod without any issues. The same thing happens with the web browser - it will just drop off and revert to the home screen.
I'm wondering if we might have a couple of defective phones. I just got my phone yesterday..

Songs Cutting Off at different intervals.

Only had the Ipod for about 10 months but has been going on since we bought it. Songs keep cutting off. Some at the end, some at the begining, and some in the middle and always the same songs which were all purchased and in some cases repurchased from Itunes. They play fine on the computer and on CDs burned from Itunes. Contacted Apple and we paid for shiping from and to Apple. When the box arrived the paper work said that the battery would not hold a charge. That wasn't what we told them, so I wrote on the return paperwork that Songs cut off. They sent it back saying they could not recreate the problem. No prior contact to ask us to help them or what songs were having problems. So we paid 31.00 for the fun of it. Any one have any Ideas. I have reauthorized and even moved songs to the Ipod with a different computer nothing has changed. HELP PLEASE!!!!! Wifes Christmas present not a present and is sending her on a rampage.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HELP YOU...
BUT YOU CAN TRY TO TURN OFF SHUFFLE MODE, IF YOU HAVE IT ON.
I JUST BOUGHT MY 80GB CLASSIC AND IT WAS CUTTING OFF RANDOM SONGS IN ALL DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE SONG, SOME IN THE BEGINNING, SOME AT THE END AND SOME IN THE MIDDLE. ALL KIND OF RANDOM ???
IN OTHER WORDS IT WOULD CUT OUT OF THE CURRENT SONG AND SWITCH TO THE NEXT SONG... FOR NO REASON... IN SHUFFLE MODE ONLY.
I TURNED OFF SHUFFLE AND SO FAR SO GOOD, SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED IT.
I HOPE THAT WILL HELP...

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

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.

Songs cut off during play

I have 2nd gen iPod touch. When I play it through a USB cord it cuts some of my purchased songs short. My husband has 3rd gen and he has no trouble when he plugs his in with the same cord into the same device. The songs I have trouble with play fine. What could be the problem? I'm using both iPods in Microsoft Sync in my Ford

Apparently this problem hasn't been fixed in 8.2 (so I won't be upgrading). I'm very familiar with this problem, even though my iPod Classic is only four months old. I've finally gotten all of my songs to work (it took two months to cycle through my entire collection to determine which ones were broken).
This post contains the solution for songs cutting off on the iPod: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9333313#9333313. Also read [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9477739#9477739]. Now, if the songs are ending early in iTunes playing from your hard drive, then the original file got corrupted by iTunes and the only fix is to re-import or use a backup copy.
At this point, I don't want iTunes to touch my music files for a large transfer. I keep my music on an external drive; if I were to have to move them from that drive to another drive for some reason, I'd rather bite the bullet of losing my date-added data and use the Finder to move the files and then re-import my Library file than follow the iTunes instructions.

Songs cutting off during playback

Hi. I'm having issues with songs cutting off approx. 30-45 seconds before the actual end of the song. This is occurring in iTunes and on my synced devices, on songs uploaded from CD and on a high percentage of purchased songs. Any ideas how to fix - other than delete my entire library and start over???

I've had the same problem and found an easy solution.
I remembered the skipped songs and marked them in iTunes. Now right click on them and choose convert to AAC (or MP3...whatever).
Then the songs will be imported to the iTunes folder. After that you can delete the older ones, so that there are no songs twice.
The reason of the skipping is, that iPod nano has problems to play some (unknown) coded MP3 songs. So when you code them by importing them with iTunes (as said above), then the iPod will play them perfectly (mine does so).
Hope this will help.
Chris

I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done

I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done. How can i get a refund or credit for this?

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.
