Last few seconds of some songs skipping

Under the new iTunes I am hearing the last few seconds of some songs skip or cut off abruptly when playing an album. If I go back to the songs and drag the slider near the end of the song they play fine. I reinstalled Itunes over top of itself but no joy. Has anyone else had this problem?. Thanks for any answers in advance. Allso I am running OSX Mavericks.

nope, not the cross fader. most songs play 100% fine, but i've noticed quite a few which just abruptly end around 30seconds before there supposed to. I origional thought it was a transfer error since I do have USB 1.1, but since the songs play fine off the ipod when using itunes, it can't be

Premiere Pro wont play more than a second of rendered video

I've just started a new project in Premiere Pro CS4.
The project renders fine but as soon as I try to play it back it will only move the play head about 8-10 milliseconds before jumping back to where it started. The weird thing is the video plays fine in bridge as it's just a regular QT file. But as soon as it's in premiere it just wont play for any length of time. Not sure if it's related but when scrolling along the time line, past where the playhead is located, the timeline will scroll for a bit and then jump back immediately to where the playhead is.
The video scrubs through with the playhead absolutely fine. The porblem just occurs when trying to play the footage back.
Any ideas?

it's just a regular QT file.
There's really no such thing as a 'regular' Quicktime file, as so many different kinds of video can be held in a Quicktime wrapper, and not all of them are meant to be edited. Generally speaking, Premiere works best when used with standard camera formats such as DV, DVCPRO HD, HDV, etc. Other kinds of video are often hit or miss. The symptoms you describe generally occur when someone tries to use video that was simply not meant for editing. The recommenced solution is to just not edit that file, but instead only use video you shot yourself using a proper camera format.
Or, use consumer software that may be more forgiving of the media you feed it.

HT203167 What happens when you pay for a movie rental on iTunes that does not play for more than a few seconds?

I rented a movie but it only played for a couple of seconds and then it stopped and kicked me back to the iTunes rental page again. This is after I rented the movie earlier in the day on my iPad and discovered I could not play it back through my Apple TV. What do I do now? Do I keep trying to rent it again and again, each time incurring a new rental fee?

Can't import more than a few seconds of video (using Canon Elura 70)

I'm trying to import video from my Canon MVX250i (also called Elura 70 in some countries) using iMovie HD 5.0.2.
The camera is detected fine and can be controlled using the iMovie control buttons.
Importing works okay for a few seconds, but then the video stops being imported and the iMovie display changes to a blue screen with the words "Camera Playing". The camera itself is unaffected and continues to play.
The same setup (camera, MiniDV tape, computer, firewire cable) works fine with iMovie 4.0.1. Also, HDD space isn't an issue.
Is there a known incompatibility between my camera and iMovie HD?
What do I need to do to get this working?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iMovie HD 5.0.2

Hi Bengt,
Thanks for your reply.
Just a question. Did You record in LP-mode on Your
Camera ?
No, my video is recorded using SP-mode.
If You torn off - import as individual clips - in
iMovie pref. Does
it work better ?
I can't find an option in iMovie HD of this name. The closest one to this is called "Start a new clip at each scene break". Turning this off does not help.
Is FileVault on (in Your Mac) ? turn it off !
FileVault has always been turned off.
I have read elsewhere in this forum that having external firewire drives plugged in can interfere with the importing of video.
I am using an external firewire drive. It is connected to the Firewire 800 port, while the camera is using the FW400 port. They are not daisy-chained.
This setup works with iMovie 4, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for iMovie HD 5 as well.

TP Unable to See Wifi networks for more than a few seconds

I've read a bunch of wifi related posts on these forums but none seem to be the same problem as mine.
My touchpad rarely, if at all, sees any networks. If it sees my network it usually loses it before I have a chance to finish typing in the password. I can wait, sometimes up to 20 minutes for it to finally see any networks again and try to login again only to have it lose it and start searching for networks. Manually typing in the network tells me no network with that name can be found. I managed to set my android phone up as a hotspot (without any security) and connected to it long enough to get through the setup and reboot, then it was back to not seeing any networks, not even my phone.
Things I've tried:
- Sitting 2-3 feet from the router
- New router (bought it the same day I got my TP)
- Disabled all security
- Tried setting router to 802.11b only, g only, mixed, different channels, rebooting router
- MAC filtering is not enabled
- Resetting the TP (power + home) sometimes gets me a connection for a few seconds.
- I have 2 android phones, 2 laptops, a home theatre, and a wireless printer that can see my network and my neighbors networks all the time and have no problems getting and staying connected.
- Did the 3.02 upgrade by usb to my computer
- Toggled wifi, toggled airplane mode
I called support and had my TP sent in for warranty. I received a new one (serial number and MAC addresses are different so it is a different device), but it's doing the same thing.
I called support again and did all the usual troubleshooting and the guy felt like I do, very confused how it's losing ALL networks so often. I'm taking it to work where there's an open wifi network I can test it with and do the 3.02 upgrade (new TP came with 3.0 installed).
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a bad batch of TPs with faulty wifi chips or antennas? Is the TP just not compatible with my Cisco E1200 router (and causes it to stop seeing all networks?)? Does anyone else have any ideas? I'm at a loss and find it hard to believe having this one exchanged as well will be any different.
Thanks,
Brad
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Are you broadcasting your SSID? Sometimes this can cause a problem connecting. Is this Cisco router running any turbo modes or special preparatory protocols.
There are no know issues with Wi-Fi connectivity except on first connection; and the chance of 2 devices having the exact same issue is very unlikely. This sounds like something to do with your wireless router.
Have you tried to connect to another Wi-Fi hotspot elsewhere?
Do you have any 2.4 GHz wireless phones or security system that could interfere with connection?

Macbook won't charge or run off mains for more than a few seconds

Last week my Macbook power adapter seemed to fail - the light had disappeared and my battery slowly ran out of power. I tried using a different power cable into the adapter to see if the fuse had gone, but this made no difference. After trying several plugs and trying to use it with the battery removed, I decided to purchase a new adapter.
This worked instantly - the light came on and my Macbook was no longer dead. However, this only lasted for a few seconds or minutes, when the light on the Magsafe plug went out and the Macbook powered off again.
After trying several things I realised that the problem wasn't really with the adapter - it seems to be with the Macbook itself. If I disconnect the power cable from the adapter and reconnect, the light comes on and it charges again. This happens when the battery is in the Macbook, but also when there is no battery and I run just from the adapter. I can run the laptop pretty much indefinitely as long as I'm happy with 0-10% power in the battery and continually disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter, literally every 30 seconds or so!
Any ideas whether this is likely to be the logic board or just the power connector inside the laptop? I've tried resetting the SMC already (by disconnecting battery and adapter then holding down the power button for 5 seconds) but that has zero effect..

I too have problems charging. The macbook and macbook pro adapters seem flawed; if one looks into the problem on any of the many forums, you can see that this problem is widespread. The dang adapter works intermittently. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind when it 'decides to work or not,' I think it is somewhere in the vicinity of 65% off and approximately, 35% on; in other words, it works properly only about one out of three times. When I first got the macbook it might have been a bit better but this problem of intermittent charging might be getting worse. All I know is several times lately, I have had to wait until randomly retrying it got it to function and by then my battery will have exhausted down to below 10%. Has anyone discovered any tricks which help kick this adapter in? I have heard rumors of a recall but that is all it is, I believe . . .

MacBook Pro won't sleep for more than a few seconds

For a few months now my late '08 MBP has been intermittently refusing to sleep. When I close the lid, the system will power down to sleep mode, the Apple on the top goes out and the power light will fade off and on as expected. But after a few seconds, the cd drive whirrs and the system powers up again and I have to choose Apple Menu > Sleep, because closing the lid doesn't work.
It's an intermittent issue: sometimes it'll sleep first time, other times it needs to be told to sleep from the Apple menu three or four times to persuade it to get some rest.
I've tried the usual suspects: Turning off Bluetooth, PRAM, SMC...anyone else have this problem?

Certain settings, e.g. printer sharing, can prevent sleep. There are other possibilities as well. See this kbase article:

IPod not turning on for more than a few seconds or recognized by computer.

Hey, if anyone could help that would be great. I have an IPod 2G with 3.0 software. The problem started that when I plugged my IPod into the computer it would charge, but ITunes would detect it and Itunes would lock up. As soon as I unplugged the Touch Itunes started working again.
So, I went into the Touch settings and hit reset. The thing got about 75% done erasing files and the battery died. Now when I turn it on it shuts down after a few seconds and Itunes still doesn't recognize it.
Any ideas?

you're welcome

Why won't my iPod let me listen to music and videos for more than a few seconds?

When I press the music icon, my iPod goes to my playlists for about 2 seconds, appears to flash, and then returns to the home screen. What should I do??

Try the basics from the manual:
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.

Will not allow me to capture more than a few seconds at a time, with correct settings?

I can't play more than about 20 seconds of Madrigal (Breaking Bad)

When I click on the play icon it plays around 20 seconds of the middle of the show, then stops. The entire time bar only covers 20 seconds. However the list shows 47 minutes having been downloaded. Help please!

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.

Macbook Pro won't turn on more than a few seconds.

Hi everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro 13" that I bought in November 2011. Last night it began having issues and won't turn on. I can hit the power button and the light in the front will turn on, the hard drive and fan turn on, but then after maybe 5 or 10 seconds it shuts off and then starts trying to reboot again. It does this over and over. First the light, then the hard drive and fan turn on, then it turns off and starts to try to turn on again. I can leave it on the table and it will just keep doing this. Every once in a while it sounds like it is completely booted but the screen stays black. I know it isn't the hard drive because I tested a brand new one in it last night and it did the same thing. I recently had to replace the dc in-board part because it wasn't connecting to the charger. I didn't have any problems until I did this. Could anyone tell me if they've had the same problem and what you did? I've tried holding down different keys (option, control, etc.) when it starts like other boards have suggested but so far nothing has worked.
Below are the directions I used to replace the dc in-board. Maybe when I took it apart I injured another part that causes the mac to be able to start.

Itunes wont sync more than a few songs with my phone

Windows 8 OS, Custom built PC, 6-core AMD processor, 8gb memory, over 1tb storage. I am syncing my iPhone 5 with my computer running iTunes 12.0.1.26. When doing so I am attempting to transfer roughly 1000-1500 songs 7-10GB of music to my phone. I have tried manual management of my songs and using the sync system set up in iTunes. I have no duplicates of any songs and my songs come from all different sources, CD's, purchased, or gathered by friends. Anyways, the problem is, no matter what I do and I have tried many things in my troubleshooting knowledge, the sync only ever transfers 50-200 songs (never the same number of songs) before the sync silently stops as though it has completed the transfer. I look on my phone and no where near the number of songs I've tried to transfer works. The entire transfer and syncing process also seems very buggy and unresponsive about half the time. I've tried different lightning cables. have reset my phone to factory settings twice and I have reinstalled iTunes as well. I'm a pretty tech savvy person but this has got me spinning.

The exclamation mark means that iTunes can't find your songs (the actual music files).
Closing iTunes only removes the exclamation marks but does not solve the problem.
What you have to do is to adjust the path to your Music folder (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Change) and make sure all your songs are there.
