Many MPEG1 muxed videos play half way then stop

Lots of .mpg and .avi files stop half way through; .wmv, using Flip4Mac, work okay. The position pointer continues on to the end of the file and audio continues, but video stops. These are usually MPEG1 muxed; my QuickTimeMPEG.component file is 7.4.5 from June 2006. Is that he culprit, and if so, is there a newer one somewhere?

Obviously the MPEGs have broken timecodes which the QT is allergic to.
You can fix them with MPEG Streamclip and convert the fixed file as a new MPEG.

i bought the album Attack! Attack! by Attack Attack and most of the songs will only play halfway then they will just go silent i have tried contacting apple about this but have found no real topic on their site to do with this problem and there seems to be no email address for support that i can find can an of you help me?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks 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 you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
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.

I downloaded an album and some songs only play half way then the next song starts. Any thoughts? Thanks

I downloaded an Album from Itunes Store onto a Windows PC. Some of the songs play fine while others play about half the song and then skip to the next song. But, when I play the same songs from iCloud on my iPhone 4s, they play the whole song. So, why can't itunes play the song in full?

This happened to me. What you need to do is move the song and any backups to the recycle bin. Then go to Itunes store and click 'Purchased' under Quick Links. Go to the song you want and there will be a cloud next to it. Click it and it will redownload. It should download the full song this time.
This happened to me yesterday when I bought a Volbeat album and again today when my brother bought a Rise Against album. I hope Apple fixes this. I just read about a question like this from back in 2007, so it's been going on for a while.

Why do some of the songs only play half way, then skip to the next song?

I just got the ipod shuffle and am enjoying it very much, except that a few songs won't play all the way through. I tried them on my computer and they WILL play there, BUT I notice they have a kind of crackle, like the download got interupted. Is that making them "Skip" like a scratched record? And what do I do about it?
thanks,
pauline

If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

Could be a defective SIM. Try a new one from your carrier.

I recently bought a song on I-tunes using an I-coke credit, the song only plays half way through, before it skips to the next song, does anyone know what is going on and what I can do to fix this??

Remove the song from the device either by using a computer or on the device itself.
You can redownload any song that you have currently purchased for free through itunes on a computer or iOS device. After deleted attempt to redownload the song.
Follow instuctions here to download a song onto a computer or here on a iOS device.

This doesn't work for everybody.   Case in point:
How many of you use the gaming NICs from Bigfoot Networks like the Killer Xeno Pro and so forth?   You can type: netsh winsock reset   all you want, but when Windows 7 reboots, you get a message box saying the "LSP needs to be reset. Do you want to do this now?"
If you say NO, it will keep popping up and annoying you until you do.   In the meantime iTunes Store loads perfectly. Once you allow that message to reset the LSP, the iTunes Store no longer loads.   I have brought this up with the people at Bigfoot Networks by putting in a trouble ticket...for whatever good it will do.
These NICs are supposed to be fine tuned and tested for online gaming and I've never had an issue with it until now. My iTunes has always loaded just fine with it before iTunes 10.5.   So, maybe it's an issue on Apple's end as well.    I just wanted to post this an let everyone who owns these cards know what I found.
Thanks.

Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop. My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs. Any ideas on what happened? Can I redownload them?

To be of any assistance I need more info.
Are they playing normal in iTunes or iPod?
if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help

Why do songs stop playing half way through?

My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song. How can we fix this?

Hi ktrib76,
In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,
Patrick

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar only goes half way then freezes up can anybody help please

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar gets to half way then freezes , or stops and what ever time I allow it never gets any futher on , I have to go to the task bar and click quit to get on and the usb drive is not formatted is there a fault with my disk utility program I have updated the system
to lion 10.7.2
Can anybody advise please

Are these new external drives? How are the currently formatted? Have you tried doing this:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
