Nano not playing entire track

I have transfered an audio book to my nano. It plays just fine in itunes (9) but it cuts off the last few minutes of each track when playing on the iPod. The track information indicates it is the correct length and as I watch it play, with ~ 9 minutes remaining in the track, it switches to the next track. Has anyone seen this behaviour?

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

New itunes 10.1 skipping not playing entire track

I recently purchased a set of tracks from an online store that wasn't tunes, and one of the tracks doesn't play to its entirety. It only plays up to the 32 second mark and then skips to the next track. When I try to push it to play further it starts from the beginning no matter at what point in the timeline I push it to, but it will only play up to 32 seconds and still skip to the next track.
What the **** is going on??? Can this be corrected? I've tried downloading the file multiple times but the same thing happens.
I even tried downloading it to a different computer using an older version of itunes and it works fine! Which leads me to believe that this might be a problem with itunes 10.1
Anyone else have this problem?

Too weird. That usually gets around almost anything. Can you tell where it failed - did the .aiff not encode past the 32 second mark, or the re-encoded .mp3 not play after that point?
If you're willing to give it a whirl, (seeing as the file may be messed up anyhow) try changing the filetype to .mpg and see if QuickTime can play it. Your OS may put up one of those 'are you sure?' messages when you make the change but push through and do it. That will narrow it down to whether it's the file or your install of iTunes.

Adding an effect to a sound, not the entire track

Hey All, I am looking to simply add a effect to a single sound, not the entire track, is that possible with Logic? I am coming from pro tools, and I know I was able to do that there, I was hoping I could do the same here. Thanks so much!

By add effect, I assume you mean add some delay or reverb one one particular note or word. Several ways to do this. Put the effect plug-in on a bus return, and then automate the send level to come up/down for that one incident.
Another way would be to make a 2nd track (audio or midi), Insert the effect on that track, and cut the phrase or note, and move down to that 2nd track. So the whole track would be dry, and that one word, note, would have the effect on the next track.
Make sure levels are similar

Zen Nano and some directories not playing in track ord

Hi, I just bought a Zen Nano Plus and I've noticed that some album directories play in track order based on the track numbers found in the id3 tags while some directories play files in alphabetical order. All my directories on the Nano right now are for single full albums. I took a look at the files in two different directories and I can't see any difference in file naming or tagging that would cause this difference in playback order. They were even both ripped by the same ripper just weeks apart too which is odd.
I did look at the comments for the latest Muvo N200 firmware update and I noticed a blurb about directory play back not being consistent. Does the Zen Nano have the same problem as the Muvo N200? Is there a firmware forthcomming for this issue? Thanks.
Tom

The N200 plays the track in alpha-numeric order - I'm sure the Nano isn't very much (if at all) different from the N200
Like 0, 02, 03, a, b, c, ID3 tags don't affect anything except the song title comming up, as far as I'm aware.

Album Shuffle does not play entire album

I imported my entire album collection in to iTunes. 99% ripped years ago as MP3 before iPods and iTune. The albums display correctly as one with one cover art. I use Album shuffle to listen to my collection. For several albums, iTunes plays one or several tracks and then moves on to another album. It will at a later time come back to the album and play other track or group or tracks like it thinks it is another album. I have checked the info for the album and everything looks good. No skips track set. They are also not compilation, tribute or greatest hits albums.
Any suggestions?

Album shuffle will go to a song and play the remainder of that album in order. When done, it will go to another song at random, and play the remainder of that album in order.
If it goes to the 4th song it plays from that point to the end so songs 1-3 won't get played unless it lands on one of those songs when changing albums.

ITunes Will Not Play Entire CDs Unless Error Correction Switched Off!

I was having problems with iTunes in that it would only play 2 tracks on a CD before iTunes froze and had to be Force Quit.
On the advice of a poster on this Apple Discussions Forum I went into: iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing and unchecked the "Use error correction" button. Voila, my iTunes will now play complete CDs.
But surely this is not right? It has been suggested to me that this is a software issue and that I should carry out an archive and install of Leopard.
What do you think?

+4. Windows blue screen comes up to check the FAT32 drive to see if there are any errors. There is nothing.+
what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)

10.6 will not play entire movie or tv show

Wintel Box has the movies - running iTunes 10.6
3 AppleTVs can not play an entire movie ( hosted on either a MacBook Pro 10.7 running iTunes 10.6 nor a Windows 7 Desktop running 10.6 )
Either Home Sharing back to either computer running 10.6 will play an entire movie - stalls and stops
When I bring the movie or TVShow to an iMac running iTunes 10.5.3 everything works
all computers / appletvs have had multiple resets
Has anyone found fix to Windows 7 running iTunes 10.6 using Home Sharing since it appears to be non functional ( here at least ) ?
Note : iTunes 10.5.3 worked yesterday on all computers / devices

Although it's saying "not responding' rather than "not working", It'd do no harm to try the following user tip:

Do iPod Nanos not play tv shows?

I bought a tv episode. It will not sync to my ipod nano. Is there something wrong, or is my nano not designed to play tv shows?

Can I get my money back from the Apple Store? It should be listed that the videos won't work with certain models before we spend time and money downloading them!

Nano not playing loud

Hi All,
My nano isnt playing very loud at all... I have the settings on the highest volume so i dont know what the problem is, it has been like this since i got it... My old IPOD was much louder, can anyone help pls?
Thanks
Tania

On the Settings screen (on the nano), there should be a command that says Reset Settings. In case the volume setting is somehow corrupted, try selecting that command. That should give your nano default settings for everything, including volume.
I'm guessing you have already done a Reset ("reboots" iPod) at some point, this procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If those things do not help, the only remaining thing to try is a Restore, which is done from the nano's Summary tab in iTunes (select nano in iTunes sidebar under DEVICES). This will erase the nano, re-install the latest software, and set it to default ("factory") settings.
If that does not help either, since you have ruled out the possibility of bad headphones, there is probably a defect in the nano. It has a one-year warranty, so (if it's a recent purchase) you can contact Apple to see about getting it replaced. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you also can make a reservation at the Genius Bar.
In the Contact Us link at the bottom right corner of this web page, it says
"Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support — one support incident per iPod and unlimited incidents per Mac, iPhone and iPad."
So if it's been less than 90 days, you can speak to an Apple tech support employee about the problem.

Hey Kelsieee,
First, I would try to resolve the issue with the ! in a circle that you're seeing in iTunes. There's some steps in the following article that go over what that ! usually means and how to fix it:

Question on 7thGen nano - not syncing entire playlist.

Had to change hard-drive, and also got a new 7thGen nano. iTunes library has been re-loaded, but now can only sync 43 out of over 1000 playlist; getting ! to the left of the playlist. Help.

I'm having the same issue with resetting to Honolulu when ever I hook up to my PC.
3rd gen Nano
Sydney Australia
I noticed it in the week between Christmas and New Year when I looked down and it was wrong by an hour so I went to change it and it saw it was pm the day before not am.
So i changed it and then again I noticed a day or two later it was wrong.
I found that if I reset it (hold down Menu and centre button for 6 seconds) it also resets it to Honolulu.
Also my sons 4th gen Nano he got for Christmas changes from Sydney to Adelaide when you reset it ???
P.S. I just noticed my ipod was an hour 11 hours behind and went into time settings and then started typing this and it had gone to the 'screen saver' screen with time, play and battery but was now 3 hours ahead of time.
I've just change it back to Sydney time and will keep track of what I do and when it changes.

Ipod nano not playing audiobooks for more than one minute at a time

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I stopped using it after I couldn't play an audiobook for more than a minute before it stopped. A friend thought she had fixed it, but I downloaded another audiobook to the ipod nano and it did the same thing...played for a minute and then turned off. I want to take it with me on a 8K walk, but it is discouraging.

No there is no multi-select for creating SQL-Loader scripts.
You can either create them separately or create them all and
then discard the one you do not need.

CD/DVD drive does not play entire disk

Greetings!
I have an iMac (2009 acquired) 3.06GHZ - Mac OSX 10.6.8 - 4GB mem.
I am experience CD/DVD drive problem with some CDs with photos: The drive starts accessing the disk
but at some point (say, midway through a 300 pic cd) seems to stop recognizing the presence of photos on the disk.
At that point, Preview cannot access such "unrecognized" photos and Icon vew does not show such "unrecognixed"
photos. It is as if the drive is not able to explore the entire disk.
Same seems to happen when I write to a blank DVD disk: some material ends up not being written to disk.
Any help welcome!
- Roger T.

Thanks for the reply.
Are you sure that the Files work with the Mac?
Err... Typical example: CD recorded on a PC, with many .jpg files (photos) on board. Seems that there is no "File compatibilty" issue here. CD starts playing on the iMac, in Preview (Icon display mode). Soon, Icon display mode just stops. Seems that the drive is not able to "drill" into the material on the CD further than a certain ares. At this point, it is even difficult to eject the CD. iMac seems to lock up.
I would put the Movies in a mp4 file and the pictures in a jpeg.
No movies on the CD
Why don't you use an external drive or Air drop to move files?
Should not need an external dribe to just play a CD containing photos, provided by another party. Simple operation , no?

Nano not playing downloadeds from itunes music

Help! I downloaded a song (for the first time) from ITunes music into my library. However, when i go to play the song on my Ipod it lists the song and the album cover but quickly goes back to the menu screen. I am unable to play the song on my ipod Nano. It clearly downloaded from Itunes because i am able to listen to it from my itunes just not on my ipod. How can i fix this problem?

See this.
