Itunes 7 song previews stop playing after 15 seconds

30 second song previews stop in the middle of playing. They will complete if I click where they stop.

30 second song previews stop in the middle of
playing. They will complete if I click where they
stop.
My problem was resolved when I updated my earthlink software. No other problems with my new 24 inch iMac which I love.

    1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
    Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
    2. Then apply these instructions:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Your problem should be 100% solved

  • ITunes Match Music Stops playing after each song- Even when on Shuffle

    It doesn't matter if I'm on 3G or on WIFI the songs that are streaming through my iTunes Match account on my iPhone / iPad stop playing after a single song. Sometime it will take a few songs before it stops playing, but it ALWAYS stops. I have to constantly go onto my iOS device and press PLAY again to get the music to start again. It's not a data issue as I have a consistant 30MB down when i'm on WIFI and my 3G connection is always over 10MB down when the freezes occur.
    It's a pain in the rear having to press play every few songs as i'm paying for a service I expect to work, and clearly streaming a single song and then stopping is not working in my book.
    I'm running the latest versions of iOS and I've tried a complete system restore.
    I also notice that occasionally when a certain song comes on, it will cycle through and skip 20+30 songs extremely rapidly so I can see the song title on my iPhone but it doesn't play any of the songs inbetween. There are also of course many song's that won't even play at all.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the sames issues.  I was on the phone with Apple over the weekend.  I was told they would report it to their engineers.  It would seem this problem occurred  first in May and June and was resolved from what I have read this morning in past discussions, yet seems to be reoccurring again as of this weekend.

  • HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
    I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

  • Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

    Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
    Thank you.

    This has started to happen to me too.

  • ITunes stops playing after a few songs

    I am running iTunes on a Macbook Air, the music is stored on a time capsule. I also run the Remote App on the iPad.
    I play back songs through the Airport Express and after a few songs, it stops playing (always when a song is over - NEVER during a song). I hit play to start it again but the busy icon shows for a bit and nothing happens.
    When I switch the audio output back to "computer" it starts playing, when I switch back to the airport express then, the playback works again - until it eventually stops again.
    The Airport Express doesn't seem to be an issue, as we received a NEW one yesterday with the same thing happening.

    Hi jakeloveslucy
    Thanks for your feedback. However, just to clarify: my iTunes Library is not stored on my TC itself, yet on a separate HD that is USB'd to the TC.
    Also I wonder where it's stated that a iTunes Library is 'meant' to be stored locally.
    Regards.

  • Some songs stop playing after minute 1

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

    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 yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

  • I transfered my music to my new computer and when i play a previously purchased song it stops about 40 seconds before the end of the song...can anyone explain this to me?

    I got a new computer so I transfered all my old music to my new iTunes. When I play a song I have purchased on a previous computer, the song stops playing after 40 seconds or so before the song ends. What's the deal?

    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.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing after a certain amount of time?

    When I begin a Playlist in iTunes on my 2009, 24 in. display iMac, it will suddenly stop playing after a few songs. I have looked through
    every setting I can locate, but am unable to correct this problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    On the webite for the station. look for a Listen link for another type of player.  Many stations are going away from streams that iTunes can link to.  while you're on the website. look for a Contact Us llink and report your trouble.   They might not be aware there is trouble.
    Do a Get Info, go to first tab and Edit URL.. Copy and paste the stream URL here so others can test it.

  • My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

    My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking.  I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on.  Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again.  I can't go forward or go back.  When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air.  I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing.  I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's.  I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem.  I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product?  It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

    I Just ran into the same issue:
    My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
    Then it would get stuck at the same place.
    I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
    re-synced my playlist and same issue!
    did a restore as described above - same issue.
    Solution in my case:
    one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
    So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
    After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
    So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
    - Deleted the song from the local library
    - re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
    - now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
    - re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
    all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
    hope that helps someone else....

  • "AU audio file player" stops playing after a few seconds

    Hi there,
    i use "AU audio file player" in my concert set up.
    It worked fine til yet, but now it just stops playing after a few seconds.
    The track is 3 minutes, but it stops suddenly.
    I tried to reload the tracks and tried loading the "AU audio fle player" into a new session,
    but it still stops playing in any of the sets.
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much, S

    Hi Susanna,
    I did not find a way to trigger it from the keyboard...
    So I decided the following: I made a short cut for QuicKeys which opens the AUAudioFilePlayer and starts the loop I need. A quick solution which works with just hitting one key on the computer and the loop player starts. This works pretty well with QuicKeys but not with MS, the problem: sometimes when I choose by double clicking the AUAudioFilePlayer a black window shows up and only the name is readable, nothing else. I have to close it, reopen it and then- perhaps- the AU shows up and I can push the play button. Do you now that problem?
