My 30 gig stopped playing movies after last sync.

After the last sync, the whole movie content was gone. itunes said that the files ( that always worked ) could not be played on this ipod...???
All movies are still in itunes and computer is fine...Did the last update wipe out the older video code? I have used this as a tv out ipod for years, so I know what to do.....

At the very least sounds like there is some corruption in the media library on the device. Try booting the device into recovery mode and running clean up.http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=5530#M5530Whether that fixes the problem or not will depend on whether is just a database error on the device or some larger issue with the device hardware itself, like a hard dri've failing.

Downloaded movie to apple tv stops playing movie after few minutes

After a few minutes of watching a movie through Apple TV and Home sharing, the movie inexplicably stops and goes back to main menu. This only started happening 2 days ago and I've had the Apple Tv for 6 months now with this issue not happening before. Seems to maybe be linked to my comuter going into sleep mode, but again, it never used to do this. And I'm not 100% sure of this fact.

Hi,
I had a more or less similar problem after upgrading to Itunes 11 and the upgrade on the appleTV. Videos just stopped without any message and went back to the main menu of AppleTV.
My Itunes library is hosted on an Imac with a 6Tb firewire 800 connected disk.
What really resolved it was to set the following options in ' System preferences' , ' Energy saver' :
Computer sleep: Never
unselect ' put hard disk to sleep when possible'
select all other options.
After an Itunes restart it worked continuously without any interruption what so ever. (+10 hours or so) .
Hopes this helps you,

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

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!

Nano stops playing podcasts after apx 30 mins.

Each track I have is apx. 1 hour long. My nano will just stop playing them after about 30-33 minutes and return to the default main menu. On rare occasions it will go passed that point but if I touch any control, such as the volume, it stops playing.
Each track plays the full 1 hour+ on problem on iTunes.
Any information is good information.

I have a nano 2g, 8gig and it stops playing podcasts when there are still 45 seconds left. It doesn't do this all the time but it happens frequently.

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.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Windows 7 user, spotify stop playing songs after the comerccial bigest songs

hi i been using windows spotify for about a year. since the last few weeks every time after the commercial "Biggest song right now" plays, spotify stop playing and i got to sing out and sing in to make it play again. uninstalling and reinstalling are not a solution, and it happend only with this commercial right now. please help

Dasselbe Problem habe ich auch. Nach der Werbung wird keine Musik mehr abgespielt. Ich muss mich aus- und einloggen, dann kann ich spotify weiter nutzen. Dabei habe ich den Eindruck, daß die Werbung selber auch nicht komplett abgespielt wird. Echt nervend. Das schaue ich mir nicht mehr lange an und schwupss ich höre wieder IE-Radio.

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.
-Sean

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.

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.

Quicktime Plugin/Firefox stops playing mp3 after a few seconds

We've run into a problem with Quicktime Player in Firefox (Win XP) only playing the first few seconds of an mp3. It doesn't happen with all mp3s, but out of the five we've tested four showed this problem... only one of the five played through to the end.
When accessing the mp3 file, quicktime plugin loads with the big Q, takes a few seconds (i.e. seems to be downloading the full file), displays the controller, then starts playing. The progress bar moves quickly to the right and stops when it reaches the far right. For some of the mp3s it's only a second or two, for one it is about 8 seconds. The ones that only play for a second or two are regular music mp3s of about 3-5 minutes in length. The one that plays 8 seconds, is really 17 minutes, 42 seconds long.
All of these seem to play fine with the Quicktime plugin in IE. And all the files play fine in iTunes and Quicktime as local files as well as streaming.
The music files are mp3s generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function (original files are m4a files from the iTunes store).
The longer file (a podcast) was generated by a third party, so I'm not sure what tools were used to generate it, however I've tested two versions generated by iTunes that also did not play past 8 seconds:
- Original encoding with ID3 tags converted to a different version by iTunes
- New encoding generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function
(FWIW, renaming the files doesn't make a difference either.)
I have confirmed that this is happening for a colleague of mine on his computer as well.
Reloading the page/mp3 file (F5), force-reload (control-F5), disabling the cache (using Web-Developer Plugin, or Firebug), clearing the cache (through Firefox's Options->Advanced->Network->Offline Storage settings, or through "Clear Recent History") ... none of these seem to make a difference.
However, I did notice that for the files that weren't working, using Firebug's Net panel, it looks like the plugin starts *and finishes* playing the file before the file is completely downloaded (i.e. the player stops playing and the Net panel still shows the file downloading -- usually for a few seconds more before it is completely downloaded).
(And now the one mp3 file that was playing fine is no longer playing. It too just plays a second or two then stops...)
This is with Firefox 3.6.3 and Quicktime Plugin 7.6.6 on Windows XP Pro.

(Oh, and ignore my comment earlier that this mp3 stopped working. I got confused back there with all the various tests... This file does play fully. The player also waits until the file is fully downloaded before starting to play... As opposed to the others where the player starts and ends playing before they are downloaded completely.)

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.
