ITunes song preview time is cutting off

In the past week or so, when I have Itunes open and sampling song, it only plays for 10 seconds. It doesn't finish the entire 30 seconds. Sometimes it only plays for 5 seconds. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my pc. My songs on both my IPhone and my IPad work perfectly. I also calle Apple Support on this and they are STILL playing dumb about this issue. I've seen other complaints on here. Does anyone have any additional Info?

I am having the same problem.

I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

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.

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

Music I have downloaded from itunes some of them have cut off half way through the song how do I restore them, I have even tried to sync them again

Music I have downloaded through iTunes, some of the songs have cut off half way through the song, I have even tried to sync them again but have not been able to restore it, how do I restore the music lost?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I'm using Acrobat Pro 11. When printing an email to PDF most of the time it cuts off the text on the right margin. Setting look OK and I've moved things around on the email, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Is there an Adobe setting I'm missi

Like I said above, print to Adobe pdf and it wants to cut off the text on the right margin. I can't see to find a setting that changes this. Any ideas??

OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

1st song of transferred CD cut off 4G 20GB

When transferring a CD to I tunes, often the first song is cut off after only a few seconds. This doesn't happen every time but very often and it's frustrating. Does anyone else have this same problem and if so, could you offer any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try changing the bitrate of the song and the format in the options it will change all the songs to that bitrate and format though...

Song titles are getting cut off for some reason

I never had this problem before but for some reason the last few songs I have imported and encoded into AAC have the titles cut off after (I guess) a certain amount of characters. This has never been a problem before. Is there a preference that I need to change? I'm running 7.0.1.8 for Windows.
I have many other songs with longer titles than the latest I have uploaded. This is a strange new occurence.
Thanks in advance

No one else having this problem I take it. Can't find any info regarding character length restrictions.

Pre-loading iTunes song previews: how?

I recall a few years ago iTunes had an option (via Preferences>Store tab) that allowed you to pre-load song previews rather than streaming them instantly, which was great for those unfortunate ones still on dial-up, etc. This option hasn't been in successive iterations of iTunes since.
I'm wondering if there is any way to regain this ability via Terminal command, Applescript or something. Can anyone help me out here? I just want a smoother iTunes Music Store experience when I've used up my monthly download quota and have my speed dropped down from ADSL2+ speed to 64kbps. A response would be most greatly appreciated.

A forumer on macrumors.com suggested I type in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes load-complete-preview-before-playing 1
I input the command in Terminal, opened iTunes, went into the music store, clicked on a random song and it did prebuffer the stream initially. Unfortunately after the first second it reverted back to its old behaviour ie. playing music for 5 seconds, rebuffering, play for another 5 seconds, rebuffer, etc.

Why do the songs I download get cut off

why do the songs I download get cut off

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.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].
What happens if you restart iTunes?
Look in the Recently Added playlist. What happens if in the Get Info window you add the lettter (any letter actually) "X" to the end of the artist name, then remove it?
Right click on a problem file in the Recently Added playlist and then Show In Playlist > Music Do you see it?
Delete the files from iTunes but do not let iTunes move them to the trash. Now go to where they are located in Finder and add them again. Does that work?
If you don't see it in Recently Added, make a new playlist window and drag the files from where iTunes put them to an empty playlist. Do they show?
Please post a response. I make various suggstions here at least once a day in response to this issue and I have no idea if they work for people.

Downloaded songs seem to be cut off - don't get the full song

Hi
I have the latest iTunes software, but this has been happening for a while. I am using windows version of iTunes.
Several of my songs that I have downloaded seem to only play half the time before jumping to the next song. I thought it might have been as I had shuffle on but i turned that off and tried the same song again.
Any suggestions for this.
Can I try deleting it and downloading it again without having to pay for it again?
thanks
Trish

I have 2 issues: (1) songs are randomly being cut off before they finish and (2) songs are randomly repeating back-to-back. Help!

I have a 6th Gen ipod nano that will randomly cut songs off before they are finished. It also will randomly replay a song before moving on to the next. Why?? Help!!

Hello timnpaige,
Thank you for the details of the two issues you are experiencing with your iPod nano. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

If songs are still not playing in the correct order, I recommend reviewing this article next:

HT201272 It seems my songs downloaded, but they cut off shortly after starting. I don't want to have to purchase them again, so what do I need to do?

Recently, I downloaded a few albums and they are showing as downloaded but the song cuts out after about 30 secs. It just drops off and moves on to the next one, which does the same. How do I redownload them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Put Itunes Songs in Time Capsule

anyone using Time Capsule for the main source of their songs storage on Time Capsule?
recommended?
how to do?
any advice.
currently only using 150 GB of 1 TB for backup and want to use some more of the avail space for say songs that itunes can play.

I'm using an external drive with an AEBS which is just about the same thing. Mount the TC drive on your computer, create a folder on the drive called Music (or whatever you like), and start iTunes. In the iTunes preferences, tab to Advanced and set the iTunes default folder to the folder you created on the TC drive. Make sure you have the item *Keep iTunes folder organized* checked. (It is right beneath the default folder selector in the advanced tab. Now close the preferences window. Under the Advanced menu item, select *Consolidate Library*. These steps will copy your music to the TC drive and make that drive your default location for music so everything you add to iTunes will be located there.
Now walk away for a while. Depending on the size of your music library and how fast a connection you have, this could take a while...a long while.

Why does my Apple TV 3 launch itunes songs every time I start watching a movie on netflix?

I just set it up and have gone through all the available trouble shooting but every time I launch a movie in netflix, my laptop starts to play songs. how can I make it stop. also, iTunes does not see AppleTV as a device and it doesn't show up on FInder either. Is this normal?

Diesel Vdub,
thanks for the info - I will try the power the Router and ATV boxes, I can see why that may help since I did upgarde the ATV on the 2nd May (which is when these problems started) so I can say I beleive that the ATV is running the latest software. I'll let you know if rebooting both boxes helps.
