Itunes plays song for 10 seconds then skips to next song and so on....

Hey Everyone
I recently acquired a macbook (love it). However I have one issue, I imported all my music off my windows formatted ipod, and then formatted my Ipod for Mac. Everything plays fine, however I have one major issue. Some (not all) of the songs in itunes play for about 10 seconds and then jump to the next song. if I skip ahead past this 10 second barrier, the song plays fine . This happens on my itunes as well as my ipod.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

now when i play back in itunes (v10.6.1)
Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25?

I just bought music on my iTunes account and the files did not download completely. The songs play for a minute or so then skips to next song.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music... Delete the Song and re-download it...

Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

Songs Play for 4-5 seconds then skip to next in Win 7 64 bit

I installed a clean version of windows 7 64 bit then itunes 9. Songs are able to be imported but only play for 4-5 seconds then will skip straight to the next song and again and again...
Is anyone else having this problem or know of how to fix it?

I have the same problem. I have seen several other people dealing with the same issue yet Apple has yet to deliver any answer...ridiculous. Kinda like the sync issue with Windows 7 64bit.. a sea of problems but not a fix in sight... maybe its time for a ZUNE....

One song plays less thah half way through, then skips to next song.

One song only plays partially before skipping to the next song. I say one song because of the 10,000+ songs on my iPod, only this one song appears to have this problem. It was purchased as part of an album from the iTunes music store. It plays fine on iTunes and appears to be the same size, time and file-wise. I've tried removing it from the iTunes play list and reimporting it, resyncing my iPod following each step. That didn't help.
Has anybody encountered this or have a solution?
Thanks.

TS1424 i downloaded a song and it wont play. it just starts then skips to another song

i paid for a song in the store and when it downloaded it wouldnt play at all. it played just fine in the demo. what went wrong?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Ever since OS4 on my 3GS, my songs have gaps, or skip to next song Arrrgh

Well, I put OS4 on my 3GS which WAS working fine.
Now 8 out of every 12 songs have random gaps in them for 10sec,
videos sometimes pause for a few seconds... and stuff I sync over
sometimes doesnt show or causes my iPod menus to be blank.
Arrrgh!
What ***** is that I called into apple, and they are replacing my phone
due to warranty/hardware.
I grabbed a spare phone we had at work, put my sim card it, synced up 3 cds
of songs off my computer that I know are fine.. and the same crap happens
on a different phone.
I'm trying to find a rhyme or reason for this, but cant find one.
Whats interesting is that if I wipe all the songs, and put the 3 CDs worth of
songs back on, the breaks will be in differnet songs, in different parts of
the songs, every time.
And it is permanent in the song until I delete it.
If I resync the ONE song, I have a good chance of getting a good copy on the phone, but I'm not going to sync thousands of songs, and test every single one and resync that one song if it doesnt work.
This is a pile of junk.
Wish I could go back to OS3.
I've factory defaulted my phone twice and started over thinking it would help, but it doesnt.

it's the os 4.1...
search the forum for crackling or skipping

ITunes plays a few seconds and skips

My daughter's PC crashed and I had to rebuild it, but I was able to get her music off of the drive before I rebuilt.
An odd thing is happening now. She has several songs that she purchased from the iTunes store that will play a few seconds, then skip to the next song. They do it on her PC and mine (where I copied the music before I rebuilt her PC). Both are Windows XP Pro.
The files appear to be full size. I have burned them to a CD through iTunes, but they do the same thing on a CD player. If I open them in QuickTime, they play all the way through, but have periodic "skips" in the song, the first occurring where it completely stops in iTunes. They also only play a few seconds on the iPod before skipping to the next song.
It isn't all of her music and it's not all of her purchased music. It is just selected songs.
I found a thread on another message board somewhere of someone with the same problem, but as is usually the case, there was not resolution given.
Does anyone have any ideas what caused it and how we can correct the problem? Will Apple do anything about it?

If the song was corrupted during the import into iTunes, it needs deleting from there (and your iPod) and re-importing.

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

Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.
