Podcasts cut off

I have a problem where podcasts appear with their correct time when greyed out (yet to be downloaded) however once they have finished downloading they are cut short, sometimes only 30secs of 30 mins for example.
If I find the download path for the mp3 file I can download it manually and drop it into itunes so there is nothing wrong with the file. It seems like if it times out and itunes wrongly shows the file as finished downloading and updates my ipod, rather than retrying to get the file.
It's a very frustrating problem, it seems to have come in with Version 7 as I have been using itunes to download podcasts since the day it began supporting them, with no problem.
I hope someone from Apple can have a look at this.
  Windows XP Pro   itunes 7.0.2.16

Anybody? I am having the same problem as well.

  • My uploaded podcast cut off early

    I have a podcast that uploads automatially from podbean.com to itunes podcasts.  Each of my podcasts are being cut off on itunes about 15-30 seconds before the end.  What is causing this?  It is not only happening to me but to all who go to play the podcasts.  On my podbean.com site it doesn't cut off, just on itunes.

    Same thing has been happening for me. Certain songs, mostly purchased from iTunes, but a handful are ripped from CDs I owned are cutting out early - some halway thru the song. I have tried deleting from playlist, syncing, adding back to playlist, syncing, deleting song, redownloading from cloud, resyncing, etc. With inconsistent results. This is crazy! I don't have the time or patience to play Where's Waldo with all of my songs and go thru this ricidiculous routine.
    There are hundreds of complaints about this problem on this board - yet Apple is silent. C'mon Apple, fix this - I have a lot of money invested in music and it's no good if I can't hear the whole song.

  • ITunes cutting off length of podcast episodes

    Help! I am having an issue where two of my iTunes podcast episodes are being cut off and ending prematurely - about half way through. I've spent half the day trying to trouble shoot this without any luck.
    I am editing the files correctly in Garageband, uploading them correctly, etc. They appear fine on my website and when I download them.
    The two episodes in questions are here: http://www.openworldmag.com/22-created-muse-business-backpacking-europe-fred-per rotta-tortuga-backpacks/  (length - 55:58)
    And here: http://www.openworldmag.com/21-digital-nomad-ben-finnigan/ (length - 1:04:41)
    On my site, they are fine, but when you go to my iTunes page (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-openworld-podcast/id896941830) and try to view them in iTunes the length of episode 21 is only 24 mins and episode 22 is 37 mins.
    I am hosting the podcasts on my WordPress website and using the Blubrry plugin. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong? I have tried a bunch of things, I've reuploaded new files, changed meta information, and nothing is working.
    Thank you for your help! 

    Well finaly broke down and gave rebuilding from the XML file a try. That's solving a problem with a sledghamer.
    So yes my songs now end up in the right length, but:
    It duplicated a huge part of my exsisting library, and maybe moved parts of it or maybe deleted files*. No idea which. Original itunes library was 620+ gigs and now I have two itunes librarys each 430+- gigs. Look forward to figuring that out!
    It turned a massive number of my Podcasts into songs. So that will be fun to disentangle.
    iPod and iPhone preferences don't copy, so I have to rebuild all my phone sync settings.
    So basically, a really crappy fix unless you have a small library and don't use podcasts.
    Better solution needed Apple!!!!!
    *I was one of the lucky bastards who had iTunes delete hundreds of gigs of podcasts on r11. So I have no faith in it not doing it again.

  • My podcast keep cutting off every 5 mins when I'm listening to it. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

    it worked for me, but i tried to redo it and now it's not working.
    i have friends who have iphone 4 with the ios5 and their additional google calendars are appearing.
    you need to turn off and turn your phone on again or wait overnight for the calendars to appear after using the link.
    good luck!

  • Last seconds of uploaded podcast are cut off! What could be the problem here?

    Hello!
    we uploaded some podcasts in our itunes store account. We produced them by ourselves and they are also online on our website (futurzwei.org). The source is the same Content Management System (Joomla). At the website, the podcasts are complete. In the itunes store, the same podcasts are incomplete. The last seconds are cut off!
    How can this be, when the original is complete?
    I don't know where the problem could be.
    Can it be a problem of the transfering mode?
    Is it a problem of the Content Management System we use? Or any special setting we could have set wrongly in there?
    Of the format the podcasts have (normal mp3)?
    Thank you very much for any help!

  • Shuffle cuts off ending to certain podcasts, not others

    I've noticed that all of my podcasts for Wretched Radio get the last 20-45 seconds cut off on the new 2GB shuffle. If I listen to the podcast in iTunes, it plays all the way through. Other podcasts it plays all the way through just fine.
    Anyone have any idea about what could be causing this?
    chris

    I just bought an iPod Shuffle and had this very same issue happen too. Like you, I loaded it with Wretched Radio podcasts and The Dividing Line podcasts (James White "AOMin" podcasts) and it cuts off the last 30 seconds or so of the podcasts as well.
    I bought the blue iPod Shuffle about 3 or 4 weeks ago and after a week of noticing this happen, I brought it back to the Apple store in Vancouver, BC at Pacific Centre Mall where I the Genius Bar guy who helped me, Emilio Da Silva, told me it was a hardware issue.  I basically exchanged it for another blue iPod Shuffle.  Then I went on a trip out of town for two weeks.  I noticed the same issue happening on this second iPod Shuffle.  I'm about to bring it back to the Apple store again.

  • My podcasts download over the size it says ***? and my normal podcasts get cut off somewhere in the middle *** is this ****? someone help before i move to android

    my podcasts download over the size it says ***? and my normal podcasts get cut off somewhere in the middle *** is this ****? someone help before i move to android

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Apple TV cuts off when open Macbook. WHY IS THIS STILL AN ISSUE!!

    The issue is not fixed with Apple and it's really annoying. It affects all devices. Here is what I have found so far and I'm pulling my hair out. APPLE!! why have you not had a fix for this yet? You come out with the latest and greatest devices but you can not keep what you already have running? Come on this is frustrating. Look at the number of times this question has been asked on here, heck look at the number of views its unreal at over 10,000. This is a huge issue and should be worked on ASAP. At least make us think you are trying to fix it. If there is some magical fix I have not been able to find it.
    And because many people while trying to help ask the same questions to all these post I will try to answer all the typical questions now to save some time.
    - Yes, I have tried it with Itunes off and it still does it so it is not an Itunes issue.
    - No, I am not watching a movie from my Macbook to ATV and I shut the lid etc. Nothing is streaming from the Macbook to the TV when I have the issue.
    - The ATV works perfectly fine so long as the Macbook lid stays closed or the WiFi is shut off.
    - Yes, I have been able to watch ATV while the Macbook was open, Itunes both on and off, WiFi on and ATV played fine. The issue seems to be intermittent but now has gotten worse.
    - It has done the same thing with two completely different routers.
    - iCloud off - no change
    - Homeshare off - no change
    - iTunes off - no change
    - I turned off Wifi while no show was playing on ATV. Turned WiFi back on then started a show on ATV while the lid was open. Show ran fine. I turned off WiFi on MB show still ran fine. I turned WiFi back on and it killed it. ATV went back to main menu. Tried to restart show without making any changes while lid open and show would not play.
    - Logged out of iTunes account on ATV, tried to watch show went back to main menu, would not play.

    Here is what I can or can not do at this point when my Macbook Pro is online with lid open.
    1. ATV is running a show and roommates come home. Cuts out starts giving me issues. Have not confirmed if they are opening a mac or not but they all have iPhones.
    2. Listening to podcast on ATV from my iPhone using Airplay to ATV. the broadcast will play perfectly fine until I open my macbook. At that point it cuts off completely and switches to phone output from ATV back to what it iPhone. Itunes on my Mac is turned completely off. If I turn off the WiFi connection on my MBP then the ATV Airplay on my phone works just fine. The audio will play to my ATV and will not switch back. The second I turn WiFi back on it kills the Audio and the phone goes back to normal mode. It does it right in front of my eyes. So something is causing it to switch back overriding it but it is not iTunes. Also one other thing I noticed if I try to force it by hitting the airplay button every time it try's to switch back the podcast info will flash on the ATV for a second like it is trying then it kills it and goes back to the phone.
    3. ATV running a show and I open my Macbook, cuts off goes back to main screen even when itunes is off. If I close the lid and try it right away it will still go back to menu. If I try to select a program it will not play at all. Just flashes and goes back to main screen. I have to wait a few moments or try watching a different show then go back tot he one that was cut off for it to then work correctly.
    NOW to add insult to injury I confirmed all of this then went along my menu bar at the bottom confirming everything was off and testing ATV every few until it started working. It started working after I turned off Skype, Word, Excel, and VLC. The show ran with the top open or shut or opening it while running. also connected and disconnected WiFi show ran fine. So I started turning everything back on one at a time opened and shut lid until ATV cut back to menu and nothing. Show has been running for last 5 minuets with out a hitch. I logged back in to iTunes on Apple TV tried again still works fine. Who knows when it will act up again.
    This happens on Hulu Plus and HBO Go and Airplay on my phone. I really want to see this issue corrected there is no excuse for it this long after the release.

  • Folder Titles are cut off.

    Hi Guys,
    I need some advice on why my album folders are not complete but only cut off. Long Album titles are reduced.

    Hi Garth,
    If the *Keep iTunes Music folder organised* feature is enabled iTunes will rename files and folders that are within the iTunes Music folder. If you add files to the library or make changes to tags the files will be automatically renamed to reflect this. The general layout is:
    <Artist>\<Album>\[<Disc No.>-]<Track No.> <Track Name>.<Ext>
    If *Part of a Compilation* is true then a value of Compilations will be used instead of <Artist> above. Likewise, if the *Album Artist* field is set this will be used to set the <Artist> value which will make a difference if there are guest artists credited on the album or have a Various Artists album not marked as a compilation. The <Disc No.> is only prepended to the filename if there is more than one disc in the collection. All characters which are invalid within filesnames are replaced with an underscore. File & folder names are truncated to 40 characters inclusive of extention. If two or more files would have the same filename, the second filename is (where neccesary) shortened by a couple of charaters and given a trailing index of 1, the next 2 and so on. (Earlier versions of iTunes would replace the existing file with the new one of the same name potentially destroying data - although long since fixed this is another reason for my preference.)
    Whether disc & track numbers are included in the filenames used to be optional within the iTunes preferences and, if desired, can still be disabled via a suitable hack.
    If you disable the *Keep iTunes Music folder organised* option these rules will still be used for any music that you download from the store or rip from CDs. Likewise if you have the option *Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library* enabled and import files from outside the iTunes Music folder, the new copies will be created with the same naming conventions. What will be different is that if you make a change in iTunes this will not be reflected by updating the filename. If however you name files according to your own conventions and then add them to the library, iTunes will not rename them. Unlike Windows Media Player, iTunes will lose track of any files you manually rename so if you do go down this road you then have the extra effort of removing and reimporting files that you choose to modify.
    I should make it clear that manually organising my music folders is a personal preference and not one I necessarily recommend to others - it's a lot more effort for no real gain. For a long while I had an iRiver H140 which I synchronised with my music folders. To make the iRiver easier to use I created a folder structure which separated out some sections of my library from others e.g. Comedy, Classical, Soundtracks etc. I also set my own rules for invalid character replacement and for compilations appended the artist to the track name. Although I no longer use the iRiver I prefer to keep this structure.
    I used to keep the bulk of my library in the Windows "My Music" folder and only let iTunes manage the podcasts however the last time I did a full rebuild of the library I put everything inside the iTunes Music in order to take advantage of the ability to relocate a self-contained set of iTunes library folders. I know I should really commit to iTunes and stop worrying about exactly how my data is orgainsed but there it is... we can't change our nature.

  • Some songs in playlists cut off abruptly

    I can open the song in iTunes and it will play in its entirety. In a playlist, however, the song will cut off after a minute or so. What gives?

    I have been plaged by this for months!!! and nothing worked for me until...
    Solution:
    plug your phone in and in itunes "remove all music and podcasts" or "unsync" all your audio from your phone. I did this by unchecking the box that said "sync selected songs" so it was like I didn't want any music on my phone.
    sync it
    now go back and check the stuff you want in your phone and vwala it should re-sync all your old music back to your device.
    I hope this works for you like it did for me.

  • IPhone cuts off audio randomly

    In the last few days my iPhone 4S will be playing a song or podcast and randomly cut off the audio from either speaker or headphones. The song continues to play in the I phone but no sound comes out and I cannot make it start again, just decides to do it itself. It seems to go better while connected to my computer but still happens. I tried restoring but chose to restore from back up so as not to lose my contacts etc maybe I should fully restore? Anyone know what it could be?
    Really bloody annoying and it seems to be interfering with the lock sounds which has randomly come on and off just today.

    Yes. Call failed. Call failed Call failed. Constantly. I'm pretty sure it's iOS4.

  • Voice memos in iOS7, on new iphone 5s cuts off recordings

    Hi,
    Voice memos has always been super reliable in previous versions but on a new iphone 5s with ios7 I'm finding it cuts off recordings very unpredictably - sometimes after less than a minute sometimes after a quarter hour or so.
    I've seen other threads where the issue has been described but this has been explicitly on longer recordings or where the recording is finished so wanted to raise this again as an issue on new hardware with recordings of any length where the recording stops by itself.
    The bug is making the app unusable at present which is a shame as it looks like it could be a greatly improved app.
    Any ideas?

    The worse thing about this is that Apple Support does not appear to know about it and steered me in the wrong direction. Today I tried it again and lost another 50 minute recording.
    Apple needs to fix this and let users and tech staff know ASAP.
    This has now cost me 2 hours of client time, plus 3 hours of tech support. The client information is priceless to me. I will  not be able to retrieve the content of those discussions, even if I conduct the meetings again. Too many variables were at play.
    I am beyond disillusioned that this issue is being reported in various threads throughout the fall and has not been addressed, and that phone support is unwaware, so more users will end up with the same terrible losses.
    It is, in my opinion, highly irresponsible and a show of disrespect to customers to permit this to be occuring without warning users or applying fixes.

  • Scanning cuts off bottom 1/2"

    I have an HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One. When I scan an 8.5' x 11" page, using the Automatic Document Feeder, it cuts off the bottom 1/2", no matter what program I use to control the scan (the latest versions of HP ScanPro and Adobe Acrobat). If I don't use the ADF, but scan from the glass, I get the whole page. And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
    So, just to experiment, I plugged the OfficeJet into a PC and scanned the same 8.5" x 11" document using the ADF. It did not cut off the bottom. So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software. It definitely seems to be that somewhere in OS X, it's cutting off the bottom.
    My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves. Each is 11.5" long, and when I use these, I get a scan of the entire document.
    Is there some way I can get the MBP to scan an entire 11" page without my having to place each one in a plastic sleeve?

    Hi Roger,
    Just want to clarify some of the above.
    And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
    From the Auto Feeder legal size works? Or did you mean manually placing a legal size sheet on the glass?
    So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software.
    It could still be the software. The OS X software isn't a direct copy of the Windows software. It has to be ported, which gives plenty of opportunity for errors in one version that doesn't exist in the other. I've noticed with other HP products that the Mac software almost always has flaws the Windows counterpart doesn't.
    My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves.
    Scanned via the Auto Feeder or manually on the glass?

  • My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

    Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... ! 
    I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

    I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer.  There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

  • 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?
