Purchased songs cut off about 30 seconds in?

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I purchased an album and the first 2 songs cut off about 30 seconds in. The full lengths of the tracks are listed, but they just cut off.
Any ideas?

Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store?  Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

  • Purchased songs cut off prematurely

    About a third of my purchased songs (whether in iTunes or on my iPod, iPad, etc.) cut off at about 1:50 in, others a bit later.  Any suggestions?

    No, they actually run the gamut from a few weeks old to several years...

  • Why are some of my purchased songs cutting off when I play them on my iPod but play fine on iTunes on my laptop?

    Here's a question that's been bugging me for years, and I'm trying - again - to find an answer.  I have a couple dozen songs purchased off the iTunes Store that are clipped then I play the on my iPod (4th or 5th generation; sorry that I can't remember). They cut off in exactly the same places. Re-syncing never helps. The songs all play just fine on iTunes on my laptop.
    What's going on? How do I fix it?  Thanks in advance!

    Try deleting them from the iPod and redownloading them directly to the iPod
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Purchased song cuts off mid-way through playing

    A song I purchased a few hours ago today, New God Flow by Kanye West and Pusha T, abruptly ends at 1:57. Is this an iTunes error or is there something wrong with the song? Please, any and all help would be appreciative.

    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.

  • Songs cutting off

    A month ago  I bought an album, a few of the songs on said album cut off towards the end( last 10 seconds or so, no big deal just annoying). Today I bought an album and same issue is happening only some songs cut off about 10 seconds in. I've tried playing the songs in another media player but the same thing happens. These two albums are the only things I've purchased at the itunes store in the past 2 months. The rest of my library is unaffected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?

    Something similar happens to me, too, except the song will cut off and the screen reverts back to the default home screen. Like you, these are the same songs that play in my iPod without any issues. The same thing happens with the web browser - it will just drop off and revert to the home screen.
    I'm wondering if we might have a couple of defective phones. I just got my phone yesterday..

    All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store.  It is under the quick links.  Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

  • Songs Cutting Off at different intervals.

    Only had the Ipod for about 10 months but has been going on since we bought it. Songs keep cutting off. Some at the end, some at the begining, and some in the middle and always the same songs which were all purchased and in some cases repurchased from Itunes. They play fine on the computer and on CDs burned from Itunes. Contacted Apple and we paid for shiping from and to Apple. When the box arrived the paper work said that the battery would not hold a charge. That wasn't what we told them, so I wrote on the return paperwork that Songs cut off. They sent it back saying they could not recreate the problem. No prior contact to ask us to help them or what songs were having problems. So we paid 31.00 for the fun of it. Any one have any Ideas. I have reauthorized and even moved songs to the Ipod with a different computer nothing has changed. HELP PLEASE!!!!! Wifes Christmas present not a present and is sending her on a rampage.

    I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HELP YOU...
    BUT YOU CAN TRY TO TURN OFF SHUFFLE MODE, IF YOU HAVE IT ON.
    I JUST BOUGHT MY 80GB CLASSIC AND IT WAS CUTTING OFF RANDOM SONGS IN ALL DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE SONG, SOME IN THE BEGINNING, SOME AT THE END AND SOME IN THE MIDDLE. ALL KIND OF RANDOM ???
    IN OTHER WORDS IT WOULD CUT OUT OF THE CURRENT SONG AND SWITCH TO THE NEXT SONG... FOR NO REASON... IN SHUFFLE MODE ONLY.
    I TURNED OFF SHUFFLE AND SO FAR SO GOOD, SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED IT.
    I HOPE THAT WILL HELP...

  • When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again.  Anyone know why?

    I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again.  I haven't had this problem before.

    Hi kjackson73,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
    If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
    If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
    Download past purchases

  • I downloaded some songs, and it says they downloaded, but the song cuts off half way through. What do i do?

    I downloaded and album late last night. It said they were all downloaded and about 8 of the songs cut off mid song and jump to the next song. What do I do to fix that?

    All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store.  It is under the quick links.  Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

  • Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

    I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

  • Songs cutting off during playback

    Hi. I'm having issues with songs cutting off approx. 30-45 seconds before the actual end of the song. This is occurring in iTunes and on my synced devices, on songs uploaded from CD and on a high percentage of purchased songs. Any ideas how to fix - other than delete my entire library and start over???

    I've had the same problem and found an easy solution.
    I remembered the skipped songs and marked them in iTunes. Now right click on them and choose convert to AAC (or MP3...whatever).
    Then the songs will be imported to the iTunes folder. After that you can delete the older ones, so that there are no songs twice.
    The reason of the skipping is, that iPod nano has problems to play some (unknown) coded MP3 songs. So when you code them by importing them with iTunes (as said above), then the iPod will play them perfectly (mine does so).
    Hope this will help.

  • 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.

  • I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done

    I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done. How can i get a refund or credit for this?

    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.

  • HT203433 Songs cut off in middle downloaded latest American idol ablum

    Just purchased American idol latest ablum and the songs cut off in middle

    That is usually the result of a downloading problem.  You can download fresh copies (at no charge) by following this guide:  iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same problem, it could be a defect in the store master file.  If that happens, you cannot correct it yourself, so report it to iTunes Customer Service.
