Newly purchased songs stop playing after 12 seconds

I have reviewed many posts on this topic and have yet to find what appears to be a solution.
Here is what is going on:
I recently upgraded my system from an aged laptop running xp home to the current desktop running xp pro.
My collection of songs include from CD's and from apple store. I transferred over the songs only but not the library to the new system.
All the old songs seem to play just fine.
I have now purchased some new songs on the new system. These new songs will play for 8-12 seconds and then stop and play the next song for 8-12 songs, then stop and etc until it reaches one of the songs collected from the previous system. Then it plays those completely.
What I have done so far:
1. Deleted the authorization file. re-authorized the songs. The same songs are still stopping at the same interval 8-12 seconds.
2. Played the songs in quicktime. The same songs still stop after 8-12 seconds.
3. I disabled anti-spyware, and anti-virus programs. same issue remains.
4. I ran a McAfee AntiVirus scan and came up clean.
Again these songs were all downloaded successfully from the Apple Ipod store. I have the latest version of ITunes now.
Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
/facepalm
Any thoughts??

Need Help Getting a Flash File to stop playing after 15 seconds

I was sent 3 flash files at work, however they infinitely
look and many places require that these stop playing after 15
seconds. In addition to this, at the 15 second mark at the current
frame rate, the spot is only 85% complete. I figure I can increase
the fps but I can't get the spot to stop. The stop code is of
little use. Any help? Thank!

you can use setTimeout(yourfunction,15000) to call
yourfunction after 15000 milliseconds. in yourfunction your can use
yourMovieclip.stop().

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

Spotify stops playing after a second

TA21328 youtube videos stop playing after few seconds

While watching videos on youtube, sometimes the videos are stopping or freezing after few seconds of play. How can I fix this?

If you have a slower connection and try to watch hd then your computer won't be able to keep up. Could that be the problem? If it is, just click on the quality wheel, and watch at a lower quality, say 480.

Songs stop playing after about 2 minutes

Certain songs in my iTunes library stop playing near the end and there is only silence. It doesn't happen with every song so I can't predict which ones will behave this way. Any ideas?

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

Songs stop playing after upgrading to Windows Vista

I upgraded to Windows Vista Business the released version.
After the upgrade I started iTunes 7.02 and tried to play a song. It required me to reauthorize my song. Unfortunately, I had 5 computers already authorized so I just went to the iTune Store to deauthorized all my computers and reauthorizes the upgraded Vista computer.
After reauthorization, I still cannot play my songs. ITunes pops up with the message that my songs needs authorization. I authorize the song and it says it is okay but will not play the song.
I can still buy stuff from the iTunes Store but cannot play them or sync them with my ipod.
Has the Apple testers ran into this problem?
This is a problem for Apple since Windows Media Player works for Zune. It's sad what Microsoft has done.
Windows Vista

I finally solved my problem and here is how I did it:
- De-authorized my computer
- Uninstall iTunes
- Re-install iTunes
Now make sure you have another user account with administrator privileges.
- Logged out of my user account
- Logged in using the built in Administrator account
- Launched iTunes from this account
- Launched Windows Explorer and double clicked on one of my purchased songs.
- Enter your password when the popup window for the password is shown.
My song started to play.
- Exited iTunes and logged out of that account.
- Logged back into my user account.
- Launched iTunes, and I was ok.

No sound, video stops playing after few seconds

Hey,
I have a problem with my Flashplayer. When i watch videos on
websites like Youtube of so, sometimes it happens that my
Flashplayer doesn't play the sound. The video will play for about
two seconds (the whole video is loaded) and than, just stops
playing. I can just drag to another part of the video, from which
two seconds wil be played again. After i refresh Firefox, the
problem usualy is gone. Does anyone else have this problem and more
important, who can tell me the solution...?

Why does my purchased songs not play after restoring from iCloud?

I recently had to exchange my iPhone 4 after having a problem with my lock button. When I restored my purchased items from iCloud none of my purchased songs or movies would work. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem without having to redownload each item?

Does the music appear to be on the iPhone, but won't play?
My iPhone did this after an iCloud backup. If the music is shown but won't play then:
On the iPhone go to settings> general > usage> then delete all of the music. After you've done this sync your iPhone to your iTunes and they should all go back onto the phone and work. ( make sure that all the music is in your iTunes library first)

Songs stop playing after a short time

Can some one please help me with this? I have down loaded a couple of songs out of many downloads from Itunes that play for 1 or 2 minutes and then stop. But if I fast forward over the part that skips the song will play to the end with no further problems. I've re-downloaded the songs, upgraded my nano and reset it to factory defaults and then reloaded the whole play list. None of this has helped and it is the same songs that have the problem.
