Nano plays 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one

My ipod nano plays about 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one. It is very frustrating. Any answers?

Does this happen with every track you try to play or only certain ones? Does it happen to these same tracks in iTunes?
Make sure the Shake to Shuffle feature has not been turned on it Settings -> Music.

TS1424 some albums when downloaded only play partial parts of songs then skips to the next song how do i fix this?

i downloaded Korn the path of totality and the first 4 songs work the next 4-5 just plays 10-12 seconds of the song then skips to the next the last 4 songs seems to work. Also i downloaded Tyga- carless world and each song shows up twice on my iphone and it only plays a couple of the songs, it wont play some and skips to others ones it seems random, but it plays fine on my itunes on my computer.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete 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 those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod? If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

Whatever song is playing, it will repeat instead of going to the next song, whether is's in shuffle mode or from a playlist

It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Itunes will not play my music, when it does it plays for about 10 seconds then speeds through the rest of the song then jumps through the nexts songs in the album, anyone got any ideas dont have a clue

Hi anyone
i am having a problem with itunes, i cannot play tracks and when they do play they play for about 10 seconds then speed through to the end then jump down the next few tracks.
Getting really frustrated as i am a complete novice on this type of thing, any help would be appreciated. i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled no joy

Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
I'm a happy man once again.

How do you get the songs to continue to only play once then go to the next one?

My iPod nano, 6th generation, will not move automatically from one song to the next. I listen to a song then have to manualy move to next song. How can I correct it?

Sounds like you have single repeat turned on. Go to the "Now Playing" screen, swipe right to left to get to the second pane. There are three icons, the first one is the repeat button. Look at it, it probably has a little 1 on it. Tap it till it is off or just shows the repeat icon without the 1.

ITunes not playing full songs before going to the next

Like, I have a song here that is 5:49 minutes long. It plays until 3:21 then suddenly skips to the next. This has been happenning to a lot of the songs on my library - not the ones I added a long time ago, but the ones I've added recently. I first noticed it when I added the Homestuck albums I purchased from the Homestuck bandcamp page. First I thought there was something wrong with the files, then I noticed it was happening to all other songs I'd recently added to my library as well (also, none of the other people purchasing the albums seemed to have this issue).
Some cases are different than others. In some songs, it really only plays till a certain point and then skips to the next; no matter what I do, I can't access the rest of the song at all. For others, it plays until a certain point and then stops, and if I manually skip a few seconds ahead, I manage to get it to play the rest. Some songs have the issue on both my computer and my iPod, others don't work on iTunes but for some reason work on my iPod.
When I first started getting this issue, my iTunes wasn't in the latest version, so I thought maybe if I updated and installed the most recent version it would fix the issues, but there was no change.
I also tried converting the MP3's to AAC through iTunes, and the result is that it cuts off the final part of the song. For an instance, that 5:49 minute song that only played till 3:21 results in a 3:21 AAC file.
The songs play fine on other media players.
I've searched for other people with this problem, and only found people who have an issue on their iPhone but the songs work on their computer. I have an issue on both my computer and my iPod. I really want to solve this because it's seriously annoying.

This same thing is happening to my library while playing on my MacBook. The files are NOT currupt and play fine in QuickTime player.

How to fix when a song stops in the middle and then goes to the next song

How do I fix this problem

I solved a similar issue, where some songs in my itunes library would play to some random point and then skip to the next song. It started when I replaced my computer, so I copied over my library to my new computer and went through installing and importing on my new machine. When I noticed this behavior for random songs, here's what I found.
The affected files were .m4p files I'd purchased from the itunes store. This had nothing to do with activating them with my Apple account, which I did. The easiest way I found to identify the affected files was to view all your music in itunes, right click on any of the column headers, and select 'kind' so that column shows. Then order your music by the 'kind' column, and scroll down until you reach the songs where kind = 'Protected AAC audio file' (not to be confused with Purchased AAC audio file, which were unaffected in my case). Highlight just those 'Protected AAC audio file' songs, copy them, and paste them in some temporary directory. Back in itunes, now delete these hightlighted songs (I chose to keep the files rather than permanently delete them, but I think either would work).
Before adding these songs back to your library, if you want them pulled into your library directory rather than left in temp, make sure in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > check off Copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library.
Then in itunes, click File > Add file to library > browse to your temp directory > select all files > and click Open to add these files back to your library. After that, all my previously disfunctional files exhibited normal playback.
I hope you find this before you waste many hours on this like I did.
Good Luck, A.

My Apple TV seems to be stopping in the middle of songs and going to the next song

Any suggestions on why my Apple TV would play 10 or 15 seconds of a song and then shift to the next song? It doesn't occur on every song, but very randomly.

You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

How to leapfrog selected record and going to the next one

Hi ,
My DB 11G , OS Linux Redhat ,
i have a Linux script to read the name of the files listed on the Table , then open those files and save the content on another table , i need to speed up the process by running this script multiple time , so i need to
read the first record (File name ) then running the script again to check if the record already selected then go to the second record and so on .
is there any way to check the selected row then leapfrog this record and going to the next record .
Im already tried (for update skip locked ) but this will return ( no row selected message when locked ) and when running on the 2 Scripts it will considering it as same session and always will be the same .
my query is (
select bi_file_name
from dbm_cdr_head
where bi_file_name like 'hd_auto%' and bi_auto_status=35;)
thanks

Really its about 1 million file per day ( Telecom CDRS Calls Details Records) updated every minutes , i think its very difficult to keep track by External Tables ,
thank you for you advice about advanced queuing i will going to read about this new concept for me

My i-pod nano plays half of a song then stops

my i-pod nano plays half a song then just stops and then turns its self off !!

I have the same problem on many songs in my 8GB NAno.
Many Songs in my Nano do not play completely. These songs played ok on my PCs and on my 20G iPod. The bad songs would play for several seconds to couple of minutes, then the play back would stop and my Nano would jump to the next song. Those bad songs were ripped from my own CDs and not downloaded from the web.
Note that I have used 2 versions of iTunes (7.0x) and 3 version of iPod software. They are all in MP3 format and less than 5 minutes long.
I have reset & restored the Nano and reload all the songs (about 7.4G in my 8G NANO). The problem remains. I have purchased another 8G Nano and reload all the songs. The problem remains. I have reset the new Nano and reload the songs using the USB cable from my iPod, the problem remains. All the 'bad' songs would play OK in my PCs and iPod.
As this is my second Nano and third USB cable used to transfer the song, the only remaining causes of the problem is the Dell PC or the Nano firmware/ software.
Out of the the 7GB of music in my Nano, I estimate there may be over 100 songs that are bad (as I have not play thru all of my songs). I do not think it is worth my time to re-rip all the bad songs from my CDs, so the only 2 things left to do is to restore the Nano and reload the song from my desk top PC; Or return the Nano to Apple.
Any ideas or suggustions?
Thanks

Ipod plays only part of song then goes to next song

This has happened to me 2 times.
I have songs in my Ipod shuffle. I download/upload new cd into my library (my library is wholly made up of my personal cds) then put them on my ipod. The ipod shows the new songs and plays them EXCEPT some (most but not all) of the NEW songs loaded stop abruptly and the next song starts.
2 times I have done trouble shooting to find out if I play the same song through my computer (rather than straight from the suffle) if it plays partially or not (the music library on the computer plays the whole song) and both times the computer abruptly shows that my suffle is corrupted. I reset to factory settings and reload my music library and all songs play fine.
I don't want to have to do this every time I upload music -- and I want the entire song to play. What should I do next time I load a cd into my library and onto my suffle???.
Gateway Laptop Windows XP

I have this problem too. It's happening on 7.6.1 (9). I authorized this computer but they still don't play. They don't even play fully off the cd that I burned from the computer I purchased them on.
