Itunes songs cut off

Recently, some of the songs in my itunes library cut off at approximately 2:30 minutes into the song. I thought it was a problem with my old ipod, but the same thing happens on a second ipod and on my iphone. The problem does not happen on my PC. Has anyone experienced and corrected this problem?

Something similar here.
Try this script: ResetStartEndTimes
iTunes only passes the start time, end time and duration to the script in whole seconds, so there is a potential for minor adjustments of less than a second to be ignored. If you find this to be a problem change the line that reads:
Updateable=(.Start>0 Or .Finish<TimeToSecs(.Time))
to
Updateable=True
Which would force every track to be have the start and end times reset, whether they need it or not.
Test the script on a few sample tracks first to see that it does what you want. If so let it process all of your music.

Downloaded iTunes songs cutting off half way through.

Recently, many of the songs that I have downloaded from iTunes are cutting off midway through the song. The song plays out for the original length of the song, but there is no audio. Most of these songs were downloaded to a Macbook Pro. I have an iPod and a iPad2. I'm experiencing these problems on both devices. What can I do to correct this? All devices have been updated and synced.

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.

Itunes songs cutting off

i have downloaded my previous purchases but they cut off at about 1.45 into the song this is really getting me fed up does anyone have a solution

Try to play the song in a different player. If it's working the same, then you probably have the song file corrupted, redownload the song from iTunes. If not then try reinstalling iTunes.
Hope this solves your problem

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...

Problem Solved: iTunes Songs Cutting Off

Hello Everyone,
I just thought I'd share my knowledge with you all. Granted, my solution may not be your solution but I'm putting it out there for everybody to know.
I was on the phone with Apple iTunes Tech Support for 2 hours going through a really lengthy process of trying to figure out the solution when my host and I finally realized that the solution was a simple one (maybe not, if you have more than a dozen songs having this problem). The problem was that some of my iTunes songs, for no reason at all, were being cut off at the end (usually around a minute or so left in them) and then my iTunes would start playing the next song (unless I had it on the "loop one" setting and then it would loop back to the beginning of that song). The problem, it seems, stemmed from a corrupted song link to the actual file.
The solution:
1) Open a Finder Window
2) Click on the Music tab
3) Click on the iTunes folder
4) Go into your iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder
5) Click on the Music Folder within
6) Click on whichever Artist the song comes from and then its Album
7) Check to make sure you have the song in there
8) Open iTunes
9) Delete the problem song from your iTunes application (but make sure to click the option that says Keep File)
10) Click on the same song in your Music Folder and open it in iTunes
The link should now be fixed and your song should play without complications. You'll have to do this with every song that has this problem but at least it will work. By the way, reinstalling your iTunes doesn't fix the problem because it's the link that's corrupted, not the application nor the song, so you'll have to do it this way.
Hope this helps!

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. If you believe it is corrupt:
If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

2 Itunes songs cut off half-way

I just downloaded a cd from itunes, except 2 songs are cut off half way. How can i redownload them????

Usually this happens because the download is interrupted, and you have iTunes 10.5. Update to 10.6, delete the songs from your library, and redownload them from the cloud (if you have a Purchased pane from the main iTunes Store screen). If you don't, get up with iTunes Store and they might be able to allow you the items again to your download queue so you can replace the unfinished copies. And if all else fails, maybe they could refund them if you can't get this to work this way.

Purchased itunes song cuts off at 27 seconds - anybody know how to fix?

I bought Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder" last night as part of the 69 cents sale and it only plays for 27 seconds. Anybody have a similar problem? Do you know how to fix it? Afraid of what might happen if I try to restore it? Any help would be greatly appreciated

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.

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,
Jeremy
