My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

Is it always the same songs that get cut off?  So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off?  Or are they different songs each time?  Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files.  Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot.  The corrupted songs stay the same.
If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod.  If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable.  When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem.  It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync

  • Why does iPod on iPhone4 cut off the beginning of audio files?

    First time user of Apple and iTunes and iPhone4. I transfer my audio files onto my iPhone, play them in iPod and it cuts off the first 10 or more seconds or so. The files play perfectly well in every other device and player. Why does this happen in iTunes/iPhone/iPod? How to fix this?

    HI!  My HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page....cuts off the top portion of what I am printing.  Not sure what happened to the printer.  Came home one day and the printing wasn't the same.  Possibly the kids could have fiddled with it but no one is owning up to it.    Any solution to get the printer printing normal again?

  • FCP7 cutting off the end of my projects... is there a workaround?

    Really stumped on this one and thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.  My issue is that I have a 1 minute 50 project I am exporting.  Nothing fancy, just a few cuts with a bit of music.  For reasons I do not understand, FCP 7.03 exports it minus the last 10 seconds!  I am exporting in HQ 422 (30 fps) as a self-contained project as I need to pass it over to a few other people.  Worse still is I have noticed it has done this now with another project and I am investigating that as well.  It is approximately the last 10 seconds on the other project.
    I have tried resetting the I/O points, deleting the re-render files, re-rendering, adding lots of space after the last 'O' point, selecting everything etc... but have no solution.
    Other than having FCP 7.03, I have a MacBook Pro with a copious amount of memory etc..., store the data (and metadata) on an external hard drive and have quite a fair amount of experience with FCP 7.03, a little with Avid, Motion etc...
    Thanks again for having a look at this and if you have any ideas, this would be tremendous.
    What solution would you offer?

    Does it always cut off the same length, like 38 seconds, is it a percentage thing, like it always cuts off 6.4%, or is it random?

  • Captivate cuts off the end of text to speech audio sequences

    Hi there,
    I have a problem Captivates TTS audio. When I use the F3 key to check the audio sequence, everything sounds normal.
    However, after publishing the entire course as an .exe file some audio sequences are cut off at the end, e.g. using the following text “ear-phones are needed”, in the published version Paul only says “Ear-phones are NEED”.
    First, I thought that the end of the audio was too close to the end of the slide. Therefore, I made sure that every slides duration was longer than the audio. But it didn’t make a difference.
    Has anyone experienced this before and knows how to help?
    Your help is appreciated!
    I use Captivate 5, but also had this problem in version 4...

    Hello There,
    Can you try the steps mentioned in http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/04/vtml_tags_in_text_to_speech_1.html? Adding this VTML tag should be resolving the issue. Please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • When I try to make a time lapse in lightroom it cuts off the end of the video

    In Lightroom 5, (It came with Photoshop Creative Cloud), I upload a series of photos, edit them together, then select slideshow and a Template Bowers - User Template - 23.97fps Time-lapse, downloaded from, https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Flightroom-blog.com%2Fpresets%2Flrtimelapse .zip&redir_token=U79NuJdMuv4axu4RigPjzH5hxpd8MTQxNzI1NjExM0AxNDE3MTY5NzEz
    I then export the video it processes like normal. BUT when I watch it back it misses out the end of videos. I am an  A-Level Student and I need to use this for my course, please Help.
    Alex O'Sullivan

    If you have creative cloud, there is a far better way to make a time-lapse using Photoshop. The Lightroom way works but is a very slow kludge that creates files that you have to recompress to make them work. I would only use this if you don't have Photoshop or quicktime Pro. Here is the first link that shows up when I google "creating timelapse with photoshop": http://photofocus.com/2014/02/06/assembling-a-time-lapse-video-in-adobe-photoshop/

  • My ipod always cuts off the end of some of my songs when theyre clearly not done... Anyone having the same problem?

    My ipod is a 2nd gen ipod touch and i will go to listen a song and my ipod will cut it off when the song isnt done, like right inn the middle of it and just change to the next song. So frustrating anyway to fix it?

    mine was doing the same thing at first so I had to convert all my mp3's to ACC files using itunes. I read in the faq that itunes will sometimes not play a file properly if you did not use iTunes to encode it. it's a real pain in the *** but try to convert to ACC and it should solve the problem.

  • IMovie 08 cutting off the end of my video when exporting

    First off, I'm running 10.5.3, iMovie 7.1.2, iDVD 7.0.2 on a MB Pro. I have a 256mg nVidia video card, 4gigs of RAM and about 55Gigs of space left on my hard drive. The movie is about 5-9gigs in size-I made sure everything was updated before I started. I created a 45 min movie in iMovie and exported it via-"export using QuickTime." Under "options->settings" I chose Apple Intermediate Codec (frame rate current, compressor-other) with the default settings for AIC. It takes about 35 minutes to process. I import the movie into iDVD via drag-and-drop where I want the movie to go in the menu. All the menu links, music and buttons work. I test the movie and its flawless up until the very end where I have the credits. It plays all the credits except the second to last one. The one that failing is a scrolling credit that lasts the maximum 60 seconds and the last credit/frame of the video is a non-scrolling screen that lasts for 6 seconds. This 6 second credit/final frame is fine. The whole movie is exactly 45:56sec. What happens is that the movie will play through all the credits and once it gets to flawed one, instead of scrolling words it scrolls a solid white block up the screen where all the words should be. I've tried the whole share/import to iDVD twice and actually let it burn to a disc once. Same problems. I have tried exporting to the media browser as well, same problem. The video has the issue once it's exported (so the problem is not in iDVD 08). ANY tips or ideas would be welcome. Sorry if there is a ton of useless info, not sure what's relevant and what isn't. Can't find anything specific to my issue in other posts.
    (I posted this in iDVD before I figured out that the problem was with iMovie and not iDVD)
    THANK YOU!!!

    Ditto white screen problem.
    I am using iMovie 08 for a 23 minute photo-music slideshow for more control over placement and my music.
    The final scrolling credits are 60 seconds long over a photo that is 59 seconds long. I have a wipe right and a new photo and the credits/music end. Everything plays well in imovie, but on the DVD i burn with iDVD, there is a white screen where the credits should be.
    Applecare suggested changing to another photo. I did. No change, another DVD coaster. Applecare suggested changing the jpg photo to tiff. I did, no change, another DVD coaster.
    I exported again in Media Browser, different name, but got the same white screen.
    The 5 other titles in the project are fine in iDVD. When I play it on my TV, it looks fantastic, except for that last white screen and no credits.
    Any suggestions?

  • Everytime I go to get the iOS 5 download, I click "Check For Update" and everytime it says (4.2.1) is the current version. What's up with this?

    You could always manually download the IPSW file:

    I'd recommend holding off on updating though since the activation server is just being hammered and is signing about half it's request... in english that means you have about a 50% chance of successfully updating to iOS 5. Wait until tomorrow and I'm sure you won't have any problems.
