  • I am trying to play a video I purchased and it will only play the first 20 minutes

    I purchase a video from iTunes and it will only play the first 20 mintues of the 56 minute video. Help?

    Yes, but that website was for correcting the problem through your iTunes in your computer. I downloaded it to my iPad and now  am trying to play it on m iPad and it stops after 20 minutes in..

  • TS1424 I have downloaded a song and it will only play the first 18 seconds and starts again?

    I downloaded Clique by Kanye West on itunes and it all appered normal until you try to play the song either on my computer or iphone it plays the first 18 seconds and then goes to the next song even though it says the song is 4:52 any ideas how to fix this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library and redownloading it 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 it re-downloads in the 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I downloaded a song and now it will only plays the first 2 minutes of the song, how can I fix this?

    I downloaded two songs and they will only play the first 2 minutes of the songs, how do I fix this?

    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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

    I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks.

    Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

  • My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

    Then back it up and do a restore.  If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • My IPod   will only  play the same song in the playlist. What is  happening?

    My Ipod  will only play one song (over and over) in  a play list. It was workig fine and then  all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please  help.
    Rita

    Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
    Hope this helps

  • HT1349 I recently upgraded my iPad to the ios5 and now my already downloaded videos will only play the music with no video, any suggestions?

    I recently upgraded my IPAD to the ios5 and now my already downloaded music videos only play the music and no video plays. any suggestions?

    When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

  • My ipod touch will only play the same song over and over unless you manually fast forward?

    My ipod touch will not shuffle through the songs. It just plays the same song over and over.  All that shows at the top is the info picture.  How do I fix this?

    Do this:
    Play a song.
    Tap the screen once so you see the scrubber.
    To the left of the scrubber, there's a set of two arrows going in a circle - if it's blue, it's set to repeat.
    Click on it once to make it white - no repeat.

    when I get to the Ipod updater screen...it doesnt show any of that info....just a bunch of x's

    Henry,
    Version 2.3 is the most up-to-date software available for 3rd Gen iPods.
    It has been around since Updater 2005-02-22.
    Since the subsequent Updaters don't have anything new for your iPod, it doesn't give you the option to Update.
