Plays only 20 seconds, then freezes

I have the U2 edition iPod and on Friday I added new songs (roughly 150?). After I did that my brother borrowed it and used his own headphones.
Since yesterday, when I play songs, it only plays 20 seconds and then stops, moves to the next song and it repeats the cycle. When I use the clicker to go back or change playlists, it freezes for a few seconds and then the same cycle starts again.
I dont know what happened or how to fix it.
Any suggestions?

    Try Deleting it from your device, then download again from purchase history.

    Other people have been having similar problems over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting them 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 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

  • Downloaded videos play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down

    Have downloaded 2 videos from Music Store. They work well on my new iPod 30GB, but will not play on my PC. Reasonably good spec PC - AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor, 512 RAM, 128MB Graphics RAM (nVididia GeForce fx5200)and I have no problem playing DVDs on my PC. The video clips play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down giving my a Windows error message. Any thoughts?

    Since downloading the video from iTunes Music store my songs downloaded from Nusic Store will no longer play either. It prompts my to enter my password (which I have checked and changed) but they still will not play

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, 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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Song Plays for 9 Seconds then stops

    One of my songs on my iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB pink plays for 9 seconds then stops. It plays perfectly in iTunes. My iTunes software and iPod software are up to date. I tried restoring it but no luck. The song file isn't corrupted because it plays on my sisters MP3 player and in iTunes and in Windows Media Player. I've tried Apple suggestions too. If nothing helps I'm going to go the store I bought it at because I have an extended warranty, to see if they can help me.

    Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

    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.

  • HP G56 intermitte​nt sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.

    HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.  I have made sure that the latest sound driver is installed and this makes no difference. The laptop is new so there is no other software on it other than the pre-installed stuff operating on windows 7.  In sound options all looks well and the device is said to be working properly.  Even the sound test in device manager sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.

  • Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

    The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

    Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
    Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
    First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
    http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
    Now install that updater and restart your computer.
    Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
    Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
    The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
    If you don't want to restore, see this...

  • HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

    One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
    How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

    Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
    Close iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
    Select Purchased in right-hand column
    Select Music and Not on this computer
    The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
    If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
    If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • HT1768 Song Preview in iTunes Store plays only 9 seconds

    I run vista 64 bit. Lately when I preview a song in the itunes store only 9 seconds (exactly) of the preview will play. Also, when I purchase music, I am getting download errors. This has only been an issue for a few weeks. I am hoping to fix the without the hassle of completely uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes and risk loosing my iPhone data, song data etc.

    My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.
