Nike+ cutting off beginning of songs

2G Nano with Nike+
Anyone else experienced an error when, while using Nike + with a Nano (second generation) the starts of all songs are not played?
As the iPod (which otherwise performs perfectly in every way; as does iTunes, on 10.5.5) plays each song, it starts in the middle!

You may not get the help you require in this forum (which is for full size older iPods).
Much better to post in the specific Nike/2nd gen nano forum and here's a link.

Fade in from black cuts off beginning frames

Hi list...
I have a timeline set as first play where the footage fades in from black. The first few frames are getting cut off, and I suspect it's because Encore sets the first chapter marker automatically to what it thinks is the first fully bright frame. Is this what's happening, and if so, how can I prevent that, and therefore make the disk play from the black beginning?
thanks,
- Michael M.

Encore always sets the first chapter in a timeline at time zero...only the poster frame for the first chapter can ever not be at time zero.
Why you are seeing what you are seeing, I'm not sure. Have you checked it on multiple DVD players? How does it look in a software DVD player?

HT2045 I have purchased a song through Itunes, but it cuts off before the song is over

I purchased a song from Itunes, downloaded into my library and synced to my Ipod....Well when playing the song, it cuts off at the 3:20 mark, and the song itself is 4:07 long....I have tried everything, but I cannot get it to work...Can someone please help me? Or guide me in the right direction for a refund.
I have never had this problem before with Itunes, and now I am digusted.
Thank you!!

Does the track play all the way through in iTunes? If not, remove the song and redownload it via iTunes. It will cost you nothing.

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Itunes cut off ends of songs names

My songs names are cutted by itunes, a tried to convert with the ID3 converter but nothing has changed...
Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor english.

Dude, I first noticed the problem on iTunes a while back. I've been growing my mp3 collection since 1999 and its about 80gigs now so you can imagine how ****** off I was when iTunes cut all the song titles that were long. I have songs that are now named like this: Michael Jackson & The Jackson Five -
Chris CA you are totally missing the point here. iTunes didn't warn Neesh and I that it was going to completely f*%k our song names up. The first time I installed and ran iTunes it also took my 60 gigs of music and sorted it into folders, most of which were named "Unknown Album". It also copied the music into the iTunes Music folder so that there it took up twice as much hard drive space.
Anyway Neesh, I tried Media Monkey but that was worse. Now I have a bunch of files that are .mediamonkey files. What the **** is that?
So far, the best mp3 player was the original WinAmp. Its since been messed up so we're all stuck with iTunes. I wouldn't be surprised if one day it deletes all my mp3's that weren't purchased from the itunes store. So now I am backing up all my music.

ITunes continuously cutting off ends of songs while playing

Whenever I play music on iTunes on my macbook, the song always finishes before the actual end. The start and stop time have not been changed for any of the songs. It never finishes in the same spot and it will also count that as a 'play' of the song even though it hasn't been played through fully. This is frustrating me and I have no idea how to fix it.

I have not had a major problem with this, only two of my songs have done this, but what I do to fix it is go into itunes and right click on the song and click get info. On the options tab just check the stop time box and the problem should be fixed. It doesn't keep the problem from happening again, but it is a way to fix one song... hope that helps

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

Songs cut off on iPod and on iTunes

I've seen this asked before but no one can seem to help when it comes to the Windows iTunes:
Songs on my iPod are not only being randomly cut off, but the +song length+ is being changed right before my eyes for no discernable reason. For example, I have a song that is 3:46, but it will display the length as 2:22, then I do Right Click --> Get Info, press OK, and the length has gone back to 3:46. However, when I play the song, it stops at 2:22 and goes to the next song.
I've already tried updating the ID3 tags and that didn't work. Someone PLEASE tell me how I can fix this without re-setting my iPod and deleting my entire library.

Does it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
Does it always happen with the same songs?
The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.

Shuffle cuts off last few seconds of the song

This morning when playing a playlist on Shuffle/Songs, iPod would cut off the last few seconds (15-30) abruptly and move on to the next track. I changed the shuffle to Album but with the same result. However, now in the afternoon, it is playing ok with the shuffle.
Has anyone else encountered such behavior? Could it be a bug in the software?

Sync failures / songs cut off?!

Bought it used (I KNOW...) sometimes sync fails saying something about 'required file missing, Restore your Ipod, try again'. Does this about every 3-4 syncs.
Playing music in shuffle mode, cut off middle of song, starts the next on. Does this maybe every 20-25 songs. Also shufle seems to have a favorite band. it is shuffling, burt it will play 5-6 in a row from the same artist, then something else, back to original artist, even though they only acount for about 10% of the music. weird huh?
Hard drive seems to make a fair amount of noise when it is looking for the next some and when it cuts one off.
Tried the 3 Rs.
forced to disk mode, synced OK, but still having play / shuffle issues.
Are there any diagnostics to run that will shed some light?
- Tim-A

oh forgot to mention- for me the songs are cut off both on my Ipod as well as on my computer, which makes it a really annoying glitch. For my friend it happens only on his ipod.

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 music cut off

Last few seconds of the songs on my iPod are getting cut-off. The song stops near the end, then there is silence for a period of time before the next song begins. If it is a longer song, more of the song gets cut-off and there is a longer period of silence.
I have tried to reset it, but that isn't helping. Right now I am travelling and do not have access to my computer, but I have access to other computers. Any advice? Thanks!

Basically, what you can do is this:
Connect your iPod to a computer and enable "manually manage music"
Then you're able to see the music on the iPod itself
Click on the triangle to the left of the iPod in the source list, and click on "music"
Right click on one of the problematic songs, and click Get Info
Click the options tab
There's an option that says "stop time" which basically means you can make a song stop at a certain point
If that's selected, it may be the cause of the issue
If not, it could be something else going on. When you're back at your own computer, see if your songs play properly in your own iTunes Library. If they do, try restoring your iPod and loading your music back onto it. If they don't, you may need to either restore the music from a backup, or import those CD's again, and then sync the iPod.

My ipod is cutting off my MP3s

Hello. My ipod was working just fine, but a couple of months ago, it started randomly cutting off some of my songs. It doesn't do it to all of them, so far, but a few of them have lost 30 seconds to a minute. They're fine in itunes, but not my ipod.

Many songs on my iPad are cut off before completion, or are scrambled (bits of different tunes mixed in with other tunes).

I am running iTunes 11.0.3.42 on Windows 8, and am an iTunes match subscriber. I have approximately 2700 songs in my library - maybe 1/2 and 1/2 ripped from my CD collection and the rest purchase exclusively through iTunes. None of this music is pirated.
When playing this music back on my iPad, I am finding that many songs are cut off before they complete. When this happens, they continue to play, but it is just silence. Additionally, many other tunes are scrambled, with bits of other songs mixed together into one. When going back to iTunes on my PC, I will sometimes find that the songs play fine there - but sometimes they behave as they do on the iPad.
This happens whether or not I run my library with iTunes match on the iPad. I have redownloaded all my songs to try to repair this, with mixed results. It will often fix the songs that I was having trouble with - but then other songs will begin to show the same type of problems. I know that 2700 songs is not an immense library, but it is too large for me to systematically review the whole library - which makes tracking these problems very difficult.
I have seen similar types of complaints on the forums ranging over the last several years. It also seems that these problems have been "solved" by many different methods. Nothing I have found has worked for me - or only worked with the mixed results I mention above. I wonder if these individuals have actually been getting the mixed results I am finding.
This is truly frustrating, as I do not do anything exotic with my library, and have not pirated, but gotten my music honestly. I also have ripped my entire CD collection into iTunes, and have gotten rid of the CD's - as I have NEVER had similar problems to this in all the many years I have been using iTunes. Suddenly I find that I have a majorly corrupted library, with seemingly no way out. I cannot even abandon iTunes since I have such an investment in it. At a minimum of $.99 per song it would cost me almost $2700 to replace my library honestly, and that is at the low end of what I would pay. I don't know about you - but I don't have three grand to blow on replacing a music library I already paid for just to get away from a crappy product (sorry Apple - but what the heck else would you call this nonsense?). Makes a dude covet taking an eye-patch.
I am screwed and doubt there's a way out - but I have no choice but to ask for help. Anyone?

Create AAC version problems - songs cut off

I am running the most recent version of iTunes on my laptop (11.3.1?...my laptop is at home, and I'm not) on Windows 8, but I think I've been having this problem since I was on Windows 7, and on previous versions of iTunes as well.
I'm importing a bunch of MP3 files into my library. There doesn't seem to be anything special with them...usually CBR @ 320kbps (they are music I've downloaded directly from artists' websites).
However, I'm a little OCD, so I'd like all of my music in iTunes to be AAC. So I try converting these MP3s to AAC using the built-in function. I use the iTunes plus encoder, but the problem seems to happen with the lower quality settings as well. The conversion seems to work properly, however every AAC version of the song that gets created is exactly 3 minutes 37 seconds long. If the original song is longer than that, it gets cut off at that point. I don't recall offhand what happens if the original song is shorter than 3:37...I don't know if I had any that were shorter than that to begin with to test.
Obviously there isn't a "Make every song 3:37" setting, so I doubt it's a setting that is mis-set. I'm guessing there's something else on my laptop that is interfering with iTunes working properly, but for the life of me I couldn't tell what. When I upgraded from Windows 7 to 8, it was a clean install, so there shouldn't be anything lingering from that. Also, I created a new library when I did that upgrade, so I doubt there was anything that came over with that. So it's possible it's something that I may have installed after I set the laptop up, but I'd have no way of telling other than wiping, reinstalling, and testing after every app has been installed.

Neil,
It is an iTunes bug. There have been various versions of that bug reported here. It occurs more often with VBR, but you are seeing it with CBR.
However, I STRONGLY suggest that you leave your MP3/320s alone. OCD or no, there is absolutely no advantage to the conversion. Virtually anything that can handle AAC can play MP3 (and the reverse is not at all true). Worse, the conversion itself has the potential to introduce audio degradation, which is probably not what you want.
Or, if you really must do the conversion, use a competent 3rd party conversion program such as Switch.
