My I tunes jumps for the first few seconds of the track.

ITunes is jumping for the first few seconds of the track. It doesn't happen to all tracks but most of them. Anyone got any ideas.

Skipping around track change can be associated with certain virus checkers especially NOD32. Try briefly disabling virus checking. If it cures the problem, exclude iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library for checking.
Is Disk transfer set to DMA rather than PIO see video playback article.

Otherwise there are general performance issues, is your computer short of memory? Are you playing music over a wireless network/ external disk?
ALso you can get funny effects from Cross Fade. Try turning it off in Preferences>>Playback if you are using it.
That's about it from me, this can be a difficult one.

  • TS1424 Songs availble with album purchase only show downloaded with album but play will not play past the first few seconds of the song.  Solution???

    Purchased entire album.  Songs available only with album purchase show completed download with album, but play only a short demo of song (both PC and iPod).  This is my first iTunes purchase so I likely missed a step.  Is this a user of iStore error?  Solution(s)?

    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.

  • When importing from CD, iTunes only imports the first few seconds

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why when I import a CD into iTunes it only imports the first few seconds of the track rather than the whole track? How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    Jimmy, What happens when you rip the same CD with a different program on the same computer, such as Windows Media Player?

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

  • Hey my little sister pressed something on my ipod and ever since some o f my songs are playing only for the first few seconds how do i solve this problem

    BaconBits is right to ask if the files are protected or not.
    DRM files can only be transferred using Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource or Nano Media Explorer so that the licenses are transferred. Do not try drag'n'drop with Windows Explorer on porotected files. This is explained in the Help file manual on your CD.
    Also do not use Audible Manager to transfer music files.

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English

    Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6

    In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
    For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
    When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
    BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
    ... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
    If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

  • My CDs load into itunes but only play the first few second of each song.

    When I try to play CDs from itunes only the first few seconds play. I can play CDs from windows media player. At one time I was able to play CDs from itunes.

    This might be better answered over in the Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows forums.

    Run the iTunes Help menu > Run CD Diagnostics... command and post the results there.

  • I am have problems loading a cd onto i-tunes. No matter how many times I try to load a particular cd it will only load the first 9 seconds of each track. Can anyone help?

    Can any one help? I have tried several times to import a particular cd onto i-tunes, but each time it will only load the first 9 seconds of each track.

    If it was a recent purchase you could take it back to the store and return it as "not fit for purpose", then buy a digital version. If it is too late for that I suppose you could try contacting the record company but I doubt they care at this point since they have the money. Can't really go into any possible workarounds without breaching the TOU.

  • A song I bought only plays the first few seconds....

    I bought an album & one of the songs only plays the first few seconds, backs up, & repeats that part over & over. I show no available downloads. This is very annoying when trying to enjoy an entire album that I love. Please help.

    Update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 and see if it rectifies the issue.

  • Itunes keeps cutting off the last few seconds of each track!

    Help!
    I'm trying to import from a CD, and for some (but not all) of the tracks being imported, when I go to play them from my Library, itunes skips the last few seconds of the song and jumps to the next one. Usually it wouldn't be a problem, because most tracks on CDs have some dead time at the end, but for these you are supposed to go directly from one track to another - without down time in between or skipping any of the track (one song is spread out over several tracks).
    I've tried re-importing the tracks using both the AAC encoder and MP3 encoder, specifying the the track end at a particular time (stop time - this information shows up when I "get info" on the track, under options) and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD. itunes just doesn't play the full length of the track!
    How do I get itunes to play each track to the very end before jumping to the next one?
    Jen

    and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD
    iTunes should play the full track. Did you tick the 'Crossfade playback' checkbox in Preferences>Playback? If so, uncheck it.
    If the problem persists you can check if it's an inporting problem or an iTunes setting problem by doing this:
    In iTunes select a 'problemtrack'.
    Choose 'Show Song File' from the File menu (command-R).
    Select the file and control-click on it.
    Choose 'Open With' and select 'Quicktime Player' as the program to open the file with.
    Now play the 'problemtrack' in Quicktime Player to the end and see if it still skips the last seconds.
    If it plays the full track, your imports are OK.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3297 I downloaded a song but it did not download properly and only the first 5 seconds of the song plays.  How do you fix this and get the entire song downloaded?

    I purchased a song and when downloading there was an error.  No error on the other 8 songs just one and now only plays the first 5 seconds of the song.  How do you fix this and do the download again so the entire song is downloaded?  Thanks!

    Delete the song from your library and re-download it from the Purchases section of the iTunes Store.

  • HT2045 I bought a song, which played on my computer. When I tranfered it to my IPod,only the first 30 seconds of the song plays. Help please!

    Please help me.  I bought a song which played on my computer, but when I tranfered it to my IPod, only the first 30 seconds of it will play. Help please. Is there a way I can contact Apple to complain, because I'm not paying $1.29 for the first 30 seconds of a song. Or is there anyway to fix it? (note: i have already synced my Ipod and it has the latest version of ITunes)

    Im having a similar promblem! Only its doesnt work on my Itunes library and the song ends at 49 seconds. Have you fixed your problem yet?
    p.s. my discussion is on the following page but no one has responded yet as I only just posted it.

  • Airplay stutter for the first few seconds

    Hi
    I just bought the new airport express. It is connected to my hifi with a spdif cable. Problem is, when i stream music it stutters the first 3-4seconds(as if it tries to buffer or something). I've streamed music from PC, Ipad, and iphone.. all with the exact same problem. My friend has the old airport express, and it doesnt have any problems at all . It is very annoying!
    plz help

    Hi - I am assuming that your setup is correct because it is working - otherwise it wouldn't be working at all - it is normal to have a slight delay but 3-4 seconds with a stutter is unusual - I consulted with my son who has 5 sets of speakers on his Airplay setup and a lot of experience with it and he didn't have any reason why it is occuring - under these circumsatances, I recommend a factory reset and re-configure from scratch - sorry I couldn't have been more help.

  • ITunes is only playing the first few seconds of each song

    Hi,
    I've searched high and low and cannot seem to find a resolution to my problem. When I'm listening to many of the songs in my library, iTunes will just stop playing and move to the next song after about 10-15 seconds. If I slide the progress bar at the top, the song plays from that point on for a few more seconds and skips. It seems that many people have had this trouble throughout the last few years, but in each of the instances where I've found someone talking about it, there is never a solution. The discussion just goes cold. I've tried checking the start/stop boxes for an affected song, but they won't stay checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Yes this seems to have cropped up a few times recently without a definite solution.
    Assuming that the files play Ok in another player and you have checked that the start stop boxes look OK in get Info, here a couple of things you could try.
    Rebuild your library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    I would modify the method as follows, drag iTunes Library.itl to the desktop as well as iTunes Library.xml. Then you can put it back if this doesn't work.
    Then try deleting your preference files, this causes iTunes to create new ones with default values so any custom preferences are lost.
    First make hidden files visible in Folder Options>>View
    Delete iTunesPrefs.xml in:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    And
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
