My uploaded podcast cut off early

I have a podcast that uploads automatially from podbean.com to itunes podcasts. Each of my podcasts are being cut off on itunes about 15-30 seconds before the end. What is causing this? It is not only happening to me but to all who go to play the podcasts. On my podbean.com site it doesn't cut off, just on itunes.

Same thing has been happening for me. Certain songs, mostly purchased from iTunes, but a handful are ripped from CDs I owned are cutting out early - some halway thru the song. I have tried deleting from playlist, syncing, adding back to playlist, syncing, deleting song, redownloading from cloud, resyncing, etc. With inconsistent results. This is crazy! I don't have the time or patience to play Where's Waldo with all of my songs and go thru this ricidiculous routine.
There are hundreds of complaints about this problem on this board - yet Apple is silent. C'mon Apple, fix this - I have a lot of money invested in music and it's no good if I can't hear the whole song.

Embedded Sounds Cut off Early

This is a repost of a question I oriinally posted here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11321441/embedded-sounds-cut-off-early .
I figure this is one someone who knows the compiler part of Flash intimately will need to answer (if there is a good answer--if not I probably need to file a bug report).
I have a combined Flash Builder/Flash Pro project. Because of the hassles involving in maintaining sound assets on the timeline, my sounds are all embedded into Class files, like:
[Embed (source="/mp3/Welcome_01_V.mp3", mimeType="audio/mpeg")]
private static const WELCOME_1:Class;
These files are then referenced by the base Classes for the symbols that need them, embedded for Actionscript on Frame 10 (because the second frame label is on Frame 10 to give space for you to read the first one).
What I'm finding is that a few of these Sounds don't play all the way through, but the SoundChannel dispatches the "soundComplete" event, and its final position matches the Sound's length.
All sounds are converted from wav to mp3 at 44kHz / 16 kbps using dbPowerAmp. I faked out the compiler to avoid a reference to Flex by including a dummy SoundAsset that extends Sound.
I don't know what other steps to take to debug this. Is there a way to figure out whether the problem is on the compile side or on the run side?
More things I have tried:
Looked at the Size report: The nonworking sounds were smaller in their embedded form than the source mp3
Got rid of my own BitmapAsset and let Flash link in the Flex Framework and do whatever that does (definitely worse)
Dropped the encoding from 44 kHz to 22 kHz (no improvement or worse)
Dropped the bit rate to 8kbps (the lowest dbPowerAmp, the tool I use, supports). This usually helps somewhat, but I still usually use a word or two from the end of the file
Dropped both parameters in the encoding. This helped a few that just dropping the bit rate didn't, but not all files. Plus it sounds tinny.
Note that the file size and length of the Flash file does not seem to be what causes this--I have had 50k+ files that did fine, yet had a problem with files < 20k.
Thanks!

Have you tried disabling Omnisphere, just for a test, to see if the problem is occurring with just the built-in plug-ins? Another thing to try, if you haven't already done so go ahead and display the CPU meter.. you to this in the app's Display preference pane. Then double click on the CPU side of the meter in the toolbar. This will open a CPU monitoring window... and you can instantly see how much CPU each plug-in is using... assuming it's a CPU overload that's causing it.
Not sure if this is how you are using it, but if for instance you play something with Patch A and when you switch to Patch B you're either holding sustain or you want the sound to crossover into Patch B so it tails nicely... at this point you have both Patch A and Patch B active at the same time. If both those patches have 2 Omnispheres you actually talking about 4. Maybe this isn't exactly what you're doing, but you get the idea.
Can you stand to have a slightly bugger size? Maybe try 256. Oh, and definately quit all other apps and perhaps turn off airport.

Adobe 9.0 - Recognizing Paper Size - Scans cut off early B4 end of PG

Hello,
I am having a problem with Adobe standard 9.0.
We use adobe to scan various important documents.
We have several preset scanning profiles.   One is color and one is black and white, no other settings should be different.
When we scan with the B&W a 8x14 document will get cut off early, for example just after a signature. The resulting scan is neither 8x11 or 8x14 it just seems to be cut off early at a random point. We have tried reseting the preset to default without luck.
When we scan with color..... and the same document that contains no color.....   No problem.
We do not have this problem with another scan program (Kofax).
What is going on?   Updates?
Please help & Thank you for your assistance!
Tony H.

Actually, a quick test today shows neither color nor BW would scan the page to the correct size.
Please help,
Tony.

ITunes songs cut off early

Heyas;
So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
Any suggestions?
I use a Mac Mini 10.4 and a Windows 7 PC. I keep both iTunes libraries synced up.

I have the same problem. It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later. I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library. Then I go back to the store and redownload it. It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again. Say Yes. You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process. I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this. So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...

New iTunes Store Songs Cut Off Early

I just downloaded two new songs from the Store. Each cuts off and ends with about a minute left. Having paid for both songs, I expect them to play. Is this fixable?

Why are some songs cut off early?

I just transferred my iTunes library from my old macbook (where it was working fine) to my new macbook pro. I notice many songs cut off before finishing, usually all the songs from a same album. I downloaded my past purchases from icloud and still happens. My ipod, which I now synced with my new macbook is (obviously) doing the same. Anyone have any bright ideas to resolve this? I guess Apple is too busy counting all the money from us suckers who have bought their hardware and/or paid for music downloads from iTunes to take care of this.

I am having the same problem. I moved my files from an old Windows XP machine to a new Windows 7 machine. I put them in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder thinking they would all be added to my library and work just fine. Now I noticed that all songs for the same Artist get cut off at the same point in time. For one artist, it was 2:25. Any song shorter than that worked fine. Any song longer got cut off. For another artist, it was 2:17. It seems to be more with songs I downloaded from iTunes. Songs that came from CDs that I own and imported seem to be fine but I haven't checked every song. Any help Apple?

Exported files cut off early

Hi
Im exporting several files from Final Cut Pro HD, in DV format 48KHz PAL (although this problem occurs on any file type I export). When the exported files are viewed in Quicktime the look and run fine. However, if I am viewing the files in any other media player, such as VLC or Windows Media Player, then the ends of the file get cut off short.
Is this a common problem, is there a solution or something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Sounds like either the WAB is not set to the full Duration of the Timeline, or there has been an accidental Out Point set on the Timeline.
For the first, hit the \ (Backslash key) to zoom the Timeline to min. and then Dbl-click the little square in the middle of the WAB (Work Area Bar) to expand it to the max.
For the second, look at the Timeline ruler, near the end, and let us know if it is a different shade of gray, in that last 10 sec.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do i repair dozens of songs that cut off early?

Over time more and more songs are damaged and cut off play about 30 seconds from the end. How can I quickly find the songs (maybe a hundred out of almost two thousand) that are damaged and repair them?

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.

Podcasts cut off

I have a problem where podcasts appear with their correct time when greyed out (yet to be downloaded) however once they have finished downloading they are cut short, sometimes only 30secs of 30 mins for example.
If I find the download path for the mp3 file I can download it manually and drop it into itunes so there is nothing wrong with the file. It seems like if it times out and itunes wrongly shows the file as finished downloading and updates my ipod, rather than retrying to get the file.
It's a very frustrating problem, it seems to have come in with Version 7 as I have been using itunes to download podcasts since the day it began supporting them, with no problem.
I hope someone from Apple can have a look at this.
Windows XP Pro itunes 7.0.2.16

Anybody? I am having the same problem as well.

Why do so many of my songs cut off early?

Before updating my iTunes, the songs had no trouble playing in full.

Perhaps I should have added that I use gmail as my mail provider as I see there are some problems with gmail elsewhere. I also have my iPad and iPhone 6 synched using iCloud. The synching seems to work mostly, though again occasionally a deleted message will reappear on one or both devices.

TS1967 I downloaded an album and many of the songs cut off early and go the next song on the list

Any suggestions?

Are you in a country, where you can download past purchases again?
Then delete the three bad songs from your iTunes Library and download them again from the store:
See: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
With iTunes '11Go to the iTunes Store
Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences under the Store tab. Then, click OK.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
After you've signed in, click the Library button located in the upper-right of the iTunes Store.
Navigate to your iTunes library for the respective content type you wish to download using the content selector in the upper-left. Choose Music to download songs, Movies to download movies, and so on.

ITunes 7 Cutting Off Songs

I'm sorry if there is a similar topic already existing, but it seems that all of the songs in my library (at least the ones that I've tested) are being cut off well before they are finished since I installed the new iTunes 7 (and the new Quicktime). Most songs seem to cut out at the 4 minute mark, a major problem with my songs that are 10 minutes or more. Even songs that are around 4 minutes cut off early; "Billie Jean" cut out at 3:10 even though the song is supposed to go 4:54.
Some of the other threads have suggested recoding the songs, but when I attempt to do that, it only codes the shortened version. So, when I try to convert my 25 minute song, the converted version only includes that 4 minute segment.
Has anyone had similar problems and been able to come up with solutions?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

None of those settings have been changed. The crossfade is not checked. Moreover, the amount cut off on different songs varies (whereas I understand that crossfade would affect all song in the same way).
I am not sure what you mean by song - options. I did not change anything.

Last seconds of uploaded podcast are cut off! What could be the problem here?

Hello!
we uploaded some podcasts in our itunes store account. We produced them by ourselves and they are also online on our website (futurzwei.org). The source is the same Content Management System (Joomla). At the website, the podcasts are complete. In the itunes store, the same podcasts are incomplete. The last seconds are cut off!
How can this be, when the original is complete?
I don't know where the problem could be.
Can it be a problem of the transfering mode?
Is it a problem of the Content Management System we use? Or any special setting we could have set wrongly in there?
Of the format the podcasts have (normal mp3)?
Thank you very much for any help!

See if you qualify for this program:

ITunes cutting off length of podcast episodes

Help! I am having an issue where two of my iTunes podcast episodes are being cut off and ending prematurely - about half way through. I've spent half the day trying to trouble shoot this without any luck.
I am editing the files correctly in Garageband, uploading them correctly, etc. They appear fine on my website and when I download them.
The two episodes in questions are here: http://www.openworldmag.com/22-created-muse-business-backpacking-europe-fred-per rotta-tortuga-backpacks/ (length - 55:58)
And here: http://www.openworldmag.com/21-digital-nomad-ben-finnigan/ (length - 1:04:41)
On my site, they are fine, but when you go to my iTunes page (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-openworld-podcast/id896941830) and try to view them in iTunes the length of episode 21 is only 24 mins and episode 22 is 37 mins.
I am hosting the podcasts on my WordPress website and using the Blubrry plugin. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong? I have tried a bunch of things, I've reuploaded new files, changed meta information, and nothing is working.
Thank you for your help!

Well finaly broke down and gave rebuilding from the XML file a try. That's solving a problem with a sledghamer.
So yes my songs now end up in the right length, but:
It duplicated a huge part of my exsisting library, and maybe moved parts of it or maybe deleted files*. No idea which. Original itunes library was 620+ gigs and now I have two itunes librarys each 430+- gigs. Look forward to figuring that out!
It turned a massive number of my Podcasts into songs. So that will be fun to disentangle.
iPod and iPhone preferences don't copy, so I have to rebuild all my phone sync settings.
So basically, a really crappy fix unless you have a small library and don't use podcasts.
Better solution needed Apple!!!!!
*I was one of the lucky bastards who had iTunes delete hundreds of gigs of podcasts on r11. So I have no faith in it not doing it again.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...
