Podcast stops after playing partway

Hi-
I have an Ipod video (80gb). Some of my podcasts (not all) will play partway through and then stop. Any idea what causes this? I've tried to download them again but then some that used to play through all the way now stop partway. This is pretty frustrating. My ipod is only a few weeks old and I have LOTS of space still available so room is not an issue.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks - Janet

I tried a fresh reinstall of iTunes 11 on a Win 7 machine and have the same problem.  Hitting the shuffle button doesn't help, either-it always starts with the same song

  • Playlist of podcasts stopping after each podcast

    I manage which podcasts, and the order, I want to listen to using a playlist and until recently this worked as I wanted, i.e. when one podcast had finished playing my iPod started playing the next podcast in the playlist. Now it seems to be stopping playback after each podcast, this is very annoying.
    Anyone know how I can get the iPod to not stop playback after each podcast?

    No, for some reason it's not included as one of the features of the Podcast App.
    If you need playlists (as many of us do), then delete the Podcast App and podcasts will return to the music app, complete with podcast playlist functionality.

  • Zen Micro 5GB player stop after playing an al

    Just got the player last week and it's COOL. Does the player play non stop from album to another? If I have only 2 songs by an artist, the player stops after the 2 songs is over (if I did not put in repeat).
    Please help.

    The Micro plays VBR fine. All my MP3s are in VBR and theyre all perfect. To add more albums to the queue, goto the album you want, hit the options button then select 'Add to Selected' that will queue the album after your current playlist.

  • Podcasts stops and plays a previous one

    In my itunes (latest update), my podcasts randomly stop and played the previous episode. This patterns seems random as well. I don't download podcasts, but stream them (right click, play). However, when I download the podcast and play it, its fine. But I would rather stream it.
    Also, my internet is fine. I am on blazing fast university internet.
    Does anyone have a fix for this?

    delete off any apps that are asking for the wrong apple id and download/sync them over from the correct one

  • IPod stops after playing 1 podcast

    I bought my iPod Nano mainly to play podcasts that I subscribe to thru iTunes. With 1 exception, this combination has worked beautifully. I like that every time I sync, the podcasts that I listened to gets removed and replaced with new podcasts downloaded by iTunes.
    Here is the exception. When there are multiple episodes of a podcast, lets say "The Ed Schultz Show", Nano stops playing after each podcast and returns to the main menu! How do I get it to cycle thru all of the unplayed episodes before stopping and returning to the main menu? I picked this podcast because each daily podcast is broken up into small segments instead of one big podcast.
    This may be a futher irritation - the episodes are listed in most recent first so I have to start at the bottom and work my way up. This is inconsequential at the moment since I have to select and play each episode singly but may become an irritation IF there is a way to make it play all episodes as I am trying to make it do. I want it to play chronologically as intended.
    One possible solution I read about was to put the podcast in a (smart)playlist. However I can see a potential problem here. On iTunes, I have the podcast setting to delete all unplayed episodes of a podcast. However, since I only listen to the podcasts on the Nano, not in iTunes, it seems to me that iTunes thinks that none of the episodes have been played since all of the episodes are still there. So if I create a playlist to hold the podcasts (in hopes of getting them to play continuously), I have a feeling that one of the best features of the iPod/iTunes in playing podcasts would be defeated, i.e. automatic removal of all played episodes!
    Any comment/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Howdy,
    I haven't replied back to this post yet until now, but I think I might have figured out what was causing the problem for me (or at least reproduced the problem reliably).
    I have noticed that the problem is only present when I manually delete all individual podcast episodes from a particular podcast but leave the podcast title heading on my iPod.
    If I leave at least one episode under each podcast title heading, the iPod behaves normally.

  • Podcasts stop after each track

    Hi,
    How do I make each podcast play after another? At the moment one will play then stop, and another will not play.
    Thanks

    Yes. I think a Smart Playlist would be your best bet. You could probably base it on Album name and then it would add new podcasts as you download them. (That's if you want to create the list to hold a specific podcast and not all podcasts in your library.)

  • Help-music stops after playing for 1 minute

    I bought a used ipod nano 6th generation and the music stops playing after 1 minute. In order to get it going again I have to press the on/off button, slide the clock away, then the album artwork and the play button are again available but on pause.
    What's going on and how do I fix it?
    Thank you.

    Double check to make sure your headphones/earbuds are plugged ALL the way in, meaning you cannot see any metal part of the jack.  You might have to give it a little bit of extra force to get it to fully insert.

  • Audio stops after playing video

    ...couldn't get an answer from earlier posts so here goes:
    in iDVD 6.0.2 after burning & playing the video chapter part,
    audio stops. it doesn't happens immediately but after 5-6 min. of playing.
    i chcked for a missing audio codec of some kind:
    the video chapter is AVI format, but the audio is not compressed. also the file plays normally in QT so
    my only guess was a probably malfunctional during encoding\decoding audio in idvd itself...
    does the solution for it depends on the proper audio
    codecs idvd is using to convert my movie or is it something else i missed?

  • My iPhone 4 stops after playing one song on any playlist after updating to IOS 5

    Hi all.
    I just upated my iphone to IOS 5 and my music playlists will only play one song, or a few songs and stop even when hundreds of songs are listed on that playlists.
    The top arrows allowing to enable "repeat playlist" or "repeat one song" work but the playlist just won't play or shuffle.
    I also realized that while the phone is on this freeze mode the "play icon" shows as it is playing but the timer won't move so the song is stopped.
    When it does play a song it shows the wrong picture of the album as well.
    Anyone having the same issue?

    I have the same issue. Some songs play, while others do not. The play indicator says it's playing, however the time indicator never moves. Can't tell what the difference is between the songs that play and those that don't until I get home tonight and can check iTunes. Tried a hard reboot of the iPhone (4) but that did nothing.
    This all began this AM following the iOS 5 upgrade.

  • HT1725 I have rented ten movies from iTunes and they claim to have been downloaded but they all seems not to have been downloaded properly because they all stop after playing for just a minute or two. What do I do?

    I have rented ten movies from iTunes store and to my chargin they don't play on my iPad after it indicates it's been already downloaded. This has happened to me a couple of times and I just ignore it and rerent the movies. But now it's all the eight movies I rented and two tv shows, one of which I bought a seasons ticket. What can I do to be able to watch these movies or get iTunes to credit back my account. Thank

    Does this happen quite often?

  • Re: How can make mp3 player stop after playing next one?

    I want when player1 works and when player2 start playing, than player1 must stop. And that must be for all players (like soundcloud).

    I reeally didn't understand a lot from java :/
    I´m not talking about java, but of Actionscript 3. If you have no programming experience and can`t understand the solution I linked to in my first document, this task will be too difficult for you, trust me. It`s not worth the effort to learn  all that for the only reason of

    I also can`t imagine that anyone has already made an off-the-shelf- solution to control 20-30 mp3 players in the same application. The requirements are a bit......exotic. Sorry

  • Itunes stops after playing each song

    Hello
    my itunes has suddenly stopped playing the next song automatically. I missed have accidentally clicked something in the settings but i can't work out. So now i have to press play everytime for the next song. Humble apologies if i have missed something obvious.
    All help gratefully recieved...
    Many thanks

    whats happened is all the songs are missing checkmarks beside them, you have to put a check mark beside them.
    The exact key combo I don't remeber rightnow but I think its something like holding shift/ctrl then checking one song checks all the others in the list

  • Why does my itunes stop after playing only a few songs?

    I connected a seagate external memory to my mac mini. My itunes is there. Would changing the location help? nad if so, how can I do that without losing all the songs?

    iTunes is not fully functional when operating in Safe Mode, so its possible that the component that supports Audible content is not running.  If iTunes will only run in Safe Mode then there's an issue with your installation - see Turingtest2's tutorial Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, in particular the section on removing all components of iTunes before installing the latest version.
    I have Audible .aa files on a 2nd gen iPod Nano so there shouldn't be an issue with age ...

  • Itues 11. How do you make Podcasts play continuously. Right now they stop after each selection

    In iTunes 11 my podcasts stop after each selection. How do I play them continuosly as I was able to in iTunes 10?

    I second this motion of shenannigans.
    Upon updating to iTunes 11 I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact that my podcast smartlists no longer played continuously.
    So,
    Dear Apple, perhaps you want to fix the section on your website describing how to use a smartlist for continuity of podcast play, because it is not working as described http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/.
    and yes, I too would like to know what's going on and how to fix it.
