My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

Hello uhmcookies,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
Hope this helps.

  • Certain songs have started stopping half way through and skipping to the next track, how do i fix?

    Recently I have found the certain songs, and its always the same ones, have started stopping half way thru and skipping to the next track.  Even if I manually try and forward thru to the end of the track they wont go beyond half way. Does anyone else have this issue and are there any fixes?

    I have figured out a fix.  I have deleted the songs in question and then gone to the 'purchased' section in iTunes Store and re-downloaded the tracks and they work fine.  Haven't found a problem on a non-downloaded track yet so not sure what fix would be there.

  • HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

    I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

    You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot.  With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant.  You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.

  • Recently downloaded tracks (from itunes store) skip to the next song half way through (same problem with the same tracks on my ipod).

    The end of the problem tracks won't play at all without skipping to the next track - even moving the slider to fast forward to the second half of the track, it will just skip to the next track.
    I've tried clicking on track info and checking/unchecking the start and finish times of said tracks as others suggested, which hasn't solved the problem. The files are not corrupted.

    I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

  • TS1424 i downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,tracks stop half way through and skip to the next one. what can i do???

    I downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,
    it starts a track and then stops randomly and jumps to the next track
    and then does the same thing ad ainfinitum! What to do??

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Songs stopping half way through and jumping to the next song

    This has only just started happening on an album I purchased a couple of weeks ago (but only just got around to listening to it). Has anyone else had the problem or at least know how to fix it??

    Um, no. Contact iTS support:

  • My iPod wants to play music half way through one song and then start the next one, or pick up in the next song were the first song was at.  How do I fix this?

    I've had it for the past few days that when I have a album playing it will play a song half way through and start the next one, however it still shows the first song name and the time that is on there.  I don't know weather it's just a glich in the iPod itself or if there is something wrong with it all together.   I've never had this problem up until a few days ago, and I really don't know what to do about it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • IPOD CLASSIC STOPS SYNCING HALF WAY THROUGH

    my ipod classing stops syncing half way through and says could not be synced can anyone help me please?

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

  • I recieved a notice that there was an update for Elements 13 but when I try to install it it stop's half way through then I get the error message that "updates could not be applied" I have tried several times and it continues to give me the error. What is

    I get a message that an update is available and when I install it the update stops half way through and I get the error code: U44M1I210 for Camera Raw and Elements 13.1 updates. I get the message "UPDATES COULD NOT BE APPLIED" Can someone help with this? Thank you. David

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

    I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning.  When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

    I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

  • I've recently downloaded an album but some songs only play half way through and i'm no longer able to hear any audio. What can i do about this? Thanks

    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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

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

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • C3135 All-In One: When I turn it on, it feeds 1 sheet of paper half-way through and then stops.

    C3135 All-In One: When I turn it on, it feeds 1 sheet of paper half-way through and then stops.
    Even does this when not connected to the PC. I have tried a reset.

    I don't know of one place JUST for this. I usually step people thru it on the WIndows forums so 1) they don't fudge up things even more and 2) sometimes windows wants to be a pain and stuff. But You can go here and roll down to "Format in windows" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    There are cases where even in disk mode it will not show, or only show for a second in windows under "My Computer". And in these cases you have to open task manager (Hold altctrldel all together to open it) goto the "Process tab", highlight "iPOdservice.exe" and hit end process. If you have to do this, you will have to restart windows when its done formatting so the "ipodservice.exe" is started again in the background and you can use the ipod updater to restore it
