ITunes stops playing music after 20 seconds

Hi there, after upgrading my os to Mac OS 10.5.1 and iTunes 7.6, iTunes stops playing my tunes after about 20 seconds. I have no idea why this is happening???

Try deleting the cache. Go to User Name>Library>Cache. Locate the iTunes cache file and delete that file.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

ITunes stops playing music chronically...

I've noticed over the past few iTunes update releases that chronically stops playing music for no apparent reason. So I have to go back to iTunes to hit the PLAY button again and again... is someone aware/working on this chronic problem?

One of the not-so-long-ago releases of iTunes apparently caused the play logic to change. There are cases now where play stops at the end of the current song, where I am pretty sure it would not have stopped under the old logic. I haven't quite put my finger on it, but it may have something to do with changing playlists during play.

Apple TV stops playing music after 5 minutes requiring iTunes restart

I am using a 2nd gen Apple TV, Apple Airport Extreme, and a PC. Since the latest Apple TV update, whenever we play music from our iTunes library the music only plays a maximum of 5 minutes then stops. To get it to play again I have to exit iTunes on my PC and start it up again. There are no error messages to indicate what may have happened. I have tried a bunch of different things including restarting everything multiple times, disabling the screen saver on the Apple TV and restarting my router.
I have been using this particular Apple TV since release without issue and and have only experienced this since the last Apple TV update. Help!
Thanks

I have the same problem and haven't found an answer or seen one. I don't have any problems downloading/streaming off the net but the iTunes timeout is driving me crazy. Did you ever find the problem?

IPod touch stop playing music after two songs!!

Hello,
I hope you can help me, because my problem is very frustrating. I am listening to my iPod touch, in my car through the car speakers, or through the earbuds. Once a song stops playing and the next song after it starts playing, the second song gets about 20-30 seconds into it, and then it stops. Completely stops, and I look at it and I am back at the home screen. This does not happen every-time, but I still don't know why it does this.
I also have another problem of the same type, but this has to do with the videos in YouTube. I watch a YouTube video almost all the way through, but then at the end, maybe 1 minute left or so, it stops, and goes back to the home screen.
Also, when I am on the internet, Safari, and I am listening to music while loading a page, the music stops quickly after the page starts to load and then everything gets put back to the home screen.
I know thats a lot to read, and maybe reply to, I'm sorry, but those are all my problems.
Thank you so much for your time.

I have the exact same problem as originally reported. The song stops in the middle and then proceeds to the next song. One time I also saw the failure where I was returned to the main screen. More details follow.
My issue is 100% repeatable when it happens. As an example, I have a song I purchased on iTunes and downloaded last night. The song is 3:53 long and when I play it on my iPod Touch, while watching the "progress" bar, it consistently stops when the song reaches exactly 1 minute played. The progress bar continues silently for a few more seconds before then proceeding to the next song. This happens 100% consistently. However, if I manualy drag the progress indicator past the 1 minute mark while playing this song, the song will then play successfully until the end. I have the latest version, 1.1.2, on my iPod Touch.

I-Phone stopping playing music after one track

I have a i-phone 3G and when I use the i-pod function it will play music fine until the next track and then it will stop and go back to the main i-phone screen. Anyone got any ideas why this is the case?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in your itunes library? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other.

My Nano will stop playing music after a short bit. I have to push play to get it to start up again. I can't remember the fix.

Apple TV randomly stops playing music after 20 seconds and goes to next tune

I have the most updated OS on Apple TV, and recently it has started playing a track, after 20-30 seconds it abruptly stops and goes on to the next track. Some tracks play in entirety, but then several in a row will be abruptly ended. Any help to correct this is appreciated.

It was happening 90% of the time at 1:02 minutes into the track. Even though ATV did not suggest an upgrade, I went to the software update, and it updated something (no information was displayed).
So, now it is up-to-date, but I still get a random stoppage in the middle of a track (10% of the tracks), and it jumps to the next track.
I have it on shuffle. I am on wired ethernet (was on wireless, but switched to hard-wire just in case it was some network issue).
Sigh.

Stops playing music after a little bit of time on the internet

i was listening to my music and i wanted to look up somthing on the inter net and after a about 4 to 6 mins the music cuts out this has happen pretty frenquetly. Is there a firmware set that makes it do that like it needs more processing power that it quits the music ?

It may start happening to you again before too long...I believe clearing the browser cache helps. If you keep yours clear you might not get it anymore; I've seen a few people still having the problem after restoring after a while.

When I move my mouse Itunes stops playing. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

Why does my iTunes stop playing when I close the lid on my laptop?

I am playing iTunes on my Vista laptop and my setting are 'do nothing' for both powered and battery use, but when I close the lid iTunes stops playing music. Does anyone know why and how I stop it? Please don't say "don't close the lid..." Thanks.

You have your answer... there is no way to stop iTunes from stopping playing music when the lid is closed.
You can try adjusting the power settings, but if that's not working...there is no way for iTunes to override it.
