Random skipping, stops in the middle of a song...

Hi
I've had a good search and no one seems to have been able to solve this problem, or I might have just missed out but..
I have a 2nd generation 10G iPod. I've had it for about a year and a bit (it's already been replaced)
In the middle of a song, it'll stop... make a few funny sounds and then move on to another one after some time.
I've restored it, and every time it'll just stop in different places...
Any advice at all?
Thanks in advance,
S

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. 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.

My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

Stops in the middle of a song .

My Itouch has a mind of its own. For some reason it stops in the middle of songs and goes to the next one. All these songs are purchased music from itunes and work perfect on my PC.
I have tried restoring it and removing all the music and resyncing it. It seems to move when it stops on a song if i remove the song and put it back on the itouch. And its not always the same song!
Help will be much appreciated!
Thanks.

IPod Randomly skips tracks in the middle of play

As the topic says, I have a 30GB ipod and it sometimes skip to the next song on my playlist after the first 10 seconds of the song. The song differs every time and if I were to go back to the skipped song, it'll play through fine. Then after a while it'll do it again with another song exibiting the same symptoms. This happens randomly. So I've concluded that it's not the songs that are causing the problems. (All tracks are in MP3 format)
I don't know if it's broken or something wrong with the iPod's firmware and if I can get it fixed without too much hassle.
Any help will be appreciated

Ipod classic abruptly stops in the middle of a song or audio book

This has officially reached pain in the butt status. Apple, would really like a solution. Thanks.

It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
Thanks for the help, King

Why does my ipod stop in the middle of a song?

My brand new 5th gen ipod will stop playing. It does not matter if the hold button is on or not. This happens anywhere from all the time to after as many as 5 or ten songs. The display is still working properly. I have performed all of the five R's with no improvement. My software is updated to the latest version. Is this a crap unit or what?

Did you get the music from somewhere besdies ITMS? If so, thats why.
That's nonsense! You're saying his iPod locks up because he might be using songs that he didn't purchase from the iTunes Store?
The iPod is not limited to playing only music that you buy from the iTS.
You can get music from any number of sources... such as importing your own CD collection.
There's also other online music retailers that you can purchase tracks from... and other websites that offer royalty free music downloads in MP3 format.

My music stops in the middle of a song

I just bought an album off iTunes and I was listening to it when all of a sudden it switches to the next song. Does anyone know how I can fix this?! I love the songs that I just bought and if I cannot hear all of them I feel like I just waisted a ton of money because it is 6 of the 13 songs that skip! Please help me

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.

Air Tunes went dead in the middle of a song

My airtunes has been working fine for a long time, even after downloading itunes 7.
For no apparent reason, the airtunes stopped in the middle of a song. Now when I try to connect it, it times out.
My computer is able to find my wireless internet network but for some reason can now longer play music through it.
I have done a soft reset. I have done all the things that have been listed here to do.
Nothing works. Somebody please help before I throw out my powerbook.

Have you played with any of the iTunes Preferences. Check out its Advanced tab, and maybe uncheck and check some menu items.
Also, you might want to check with Airport Admin Utility. Play with the Music tab.

Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

Can anyone please tell me why when i put my music on shuffle it only plays a handful (that being 4 or 5)songs then stops even if its in the middle of a song, then wont let me play anything unless i exit Itunes completely and then re-open Itunes????

Can anyone tell why my Itunes will only play 5 or 6 songs on shuffle then stop even in the middle of a song, and the only way to fix it is to exit Itunes completley and reopen it?????

This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

My Canon i560x printer stops in the middle of print jobs

My Canon i560x printer stops in the middle of print jobs when printing via Airport Extreme. Single-page jobs are fine, but the printer sort of runs out of steam on when printing multiple pages. It simply stalls with a flashing warning light, and if I press the resume button it spits the sheet out. The job remains in the queue until I delete it.
This only happens when printing via the base station. If I connect the printer directly, it happily churns away, printing as many pages as I like.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

For the record, though, I did actually do the search, ...
OK, I let you off
And it's not a Canon- or Tiger-specific
problem, as I've also had similar problems with
different versions of OS X, including Jaguar and
Panther, and also with some HP printers.
Now that is strange indeed. My Canon Pixma 5200 stopped working correctly the minute I upgraded to Tiger. Now I got the 5200R and it works beautifully.
You've probably done all this already, still a few random thoughts:
- Got the current Printer driver ?
- Use Airport Express firmware 5.5.1 (*do not* use 5.6 or 5.7!)
- Make a hard reset of the Airport base
- Disable the Mac firewall (and set up the printer again)
- Try all this with another (temporally) user account
- Repair permission + restart before and after installing drivers
Good Luck and let us know if (and how) you solved the problem.

(Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do.

Help! AME Stops in the Middle of Encoding - AME 5.5

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me as I am hitting a brick wall with my production suite! I am going to be as detailed as possible however I am not an expert in how software and my hardware interact.
Issue - My Adobe Media Encoder stops in the middle of encoding and does not complete the task in the queue.
Software -
1. Adobe Production Premium - Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (v5.5.2) and Adobe Media Encoder (v5.5.1.12)
2. Mac OSX v10.7.5
Hardware -
1. 12GB Ram
2. ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB Graphics Card (obviously not supporting Mercury Engine)
3. 2x 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Zeon
Issue History
- Until this point, all of my projects, videos, and exported media have been 78 minutes or less. I am now working on a project that is 112 minutes of full HD footage. Before Thursday, AME has performed flawlessly for me. The project in Premiere Pro has source video footage that is 1920x1080 29.97 (50mbps). On this Premiere Sequence there are several dynamically linked AE compositions with upper and lower thirds and titling. Finally, there are maps that are in native 720p size movies that are scaled to fit throughout the program at the beginning of each chapter.
- I am attempting to export and encode this video for use in Encore. I have queued the project for export out of Premiere into AME using the following settings:
H.264 Blu-ray
Video Only
VBR 1-pass
Custom Bitrate - 26.5 target, 35 max
Render at Maximum Depth
Use Maximum Render Quality
Prior to Updates in Software:
- On Thursday I queued 4 files for export: 2- PCM audio only files, 1-H.264 Blu-ray video only, and MPEG-2 DVD video only
- AME ran over night and produced the following: 2 audion files completed successfully, 1 H.264 file completed successfully, MPEG2 file seemed to be 'hung up" and AME was not responding.
- Shut down/forced quite AME and tried to encode only the H.264 file. The encode failed as it hung up at different points in each attempt in AME.
- I searched and installed updates for my adobe production suite (premiere pro, AME, and others were updated to the versions listed above).
- Friday I attempted to export the H.264 file from Pr to AME and it encoded successfully!
After Updates were Installed:
- I had to make some additional revisions to the project in Pr after reviewing a draft Blu-ray. Now trying to export the revised video has failed each attempt:
- On Saturday, I experienced the following results with AME:
2 PCM Audio Only files - encoded successfully in AME (with Pr running)
H.264 Video Only file (specs above) failed - the AME froze about 1/3 through the composition.
At this point I shut the computer down and let it sit overnight.
- Today (Sunday), I tried again and experienced the following:
H.264 Video Only encode (same specs) though this time I shut down Pr thinking this would save RAM and the encode failed again. I did notice that it locked up at the same point as the previous attempt on Saturday which was a new symptom.
RAM usage was 7-9GB during the encode.
The place where AME locks up is immediately before a transition from the source video to the 720p map footage. Although there are two other segments with the same transitions and 720p footage that it did encode through.
I have researched this issue on this forum and have read the following thread thoroughly: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856263
The above thread described the issue I was encountering before I installed the updates precisely. But now I am still unable to successfully encode this project in AME to H.264?
I am hoping someone can provide something to help, I have a completed project and I can't get it encoded! (I contacted Adobe and they said my SW was now unsupported from their customer service).
Thanks for any help with this!!!
Chris

Thank you Todd for your quick reply - I contacted Adobe via Live Chat and never got a case number... I did however send the transcript of the conversation to my email...
Khongyairong: Please give me 2-3 minutes while I check and see what best I can do to resolve this issue.
Christopher Kratzen: sure - I have checked the forum for similar issues and found that there was a large thread on the subject - but no clear solution. I am starting to panic because I can't get my project to export
Khongyairong: Okay . Thank you.
Khongyairong: Thank you for your patience.
Khongyairong: Christopher, I am sorry to inform you this, we don't have support for CS5.5 , we have support available only for CC and CS6 . I request you to please refer support portal or forum where you can repost your issue and our experts will be giving you the answers.
Khongyairong: You can also purchase the phone support if you want a support.
So your advice would be to pursue Adobe Technical Support on this issue? I wasn't sure how to go about this since I really haven't had an issue until now... the production suite does a spectacular job with everything else! Just need to get my finished program encoded....
