Shuffle only plays half a song

Help-my shuffle only plays if I hit rewind. Halfway through the song it quits and only restarts if I start over several minutes later. It is unresponsive until that time.

What I would try first is deleting that song (assuming what you're talking about is happening with a specific song), then refilling the shuffle so as to overwrite the memory that was used by the song (prevent the song in question from being reloaded). If this works, you should be able to reload the song in question later and have it work. (The assumption behind this is the file on the shuffle has somehow gotten corrupted.)
If that doesn't work, I'd restore the shuffle.
Good luck

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list.

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it. it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them. My older shuffle never had this problem. How can I solve this?

Your older shuffle, if 1st or 2nd gen, did not have the ability to play from multiple playlist. It was essentially just ONE playlist that you loaded manually using iTunes. A very simple device. With the new shuffle, it works more like the "bigger" iPods and you can load more than one playlist (so it is more complex), but if you select a specific playlist (using VoiceOver), it works like the old shuffle.

That is probably because you are playing songs from the All Songs list, instead of choosing a specific playlist using VoiceOver. Podcasts do not play from the All Songs list.
it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them.
If you use VoiceOver to select a podcast, it only plays episodes from that particular podcast.
Here's what you can do, to make it work like your old shuffle. Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Podcasts" or whatever you want. Treat that new playlist like your old shuffle. Manually add the podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, in the order you want to hear them, on that playlist. NOTE: You can adjust the playlist order after adding the podcast episodes.
Select the shuffle in iTunes. You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you set up how iTunes syncs podcasts. Check the box for Sync Podcasts. Below that, since you have a playlist with the podcasts you want on the shuffle, you only need to go to the list under Include Episodes from Playlists and checkmark that iPod Podcasts playlist.
When you click Apply, the episodes on that playlist sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update the podcasts on the shuffle, update that iPod Podcasts playlist (add and remove episodes) in iTunes. Then, the next time you connect the shuffle, iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes. If the shuffle is already connected, click the Sync button to update.
When using the shuffle, set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. Podcasts are skipped on playlists, if the power switch is set to shuffle. Use VoiceOver to switch to that iPod Podcasts playlist. The podcast episodes should play in playlist order.
NOTE: You can load songs in the same way. Create an "iPod Songs" playlist in iTunes, with the songs you want on the shuffle. Go to the shuffle's Music tab, and select that playlist. And audiobooks on the Books tab. You can load as many playlists as you want. The big advantage of the new shuffle is that you can have different types of content and keep them organized on separate playlists.
Here's information about VoiceOver, in case it is not already set up.

Does any of this mean mean anything regarding the problem?
All it shows is that the tracks SHOULD be OK.
Next thing to try is to restore her shuffle in iTunes and reload.

Match only plays half the song on my iphone

I use itunes match on my iphone but some of the songs are only half downloaded. It will play half the song and then skip to the next one but it appears on the screen that the first song is still playing.

When I encounter glitches like this the first thing I always try is to force quit the Music app. See if that helps.

Some of my music downloads from the istore are only playing half the song. why is that happening?

how can I correct this problem? In fact I have even paid for them twice and they still play only half the song.

I have two recent purchases that stop with just a minute or two to go, so I'm going to follow this conversation, too.

What do i do if a song did not fully download and it only plays half the song the song

i bought a song on itunes the other day and i realized that only the beginning half of the song will play and then it will stop for the other half and no sound will be coming out but it will still be playiny. how do i get a refund or how can i redownload the song on itunes?

1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
(Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

TS1424 my itunes song says it was downloaded completly but it only plays half the song. what do i do?

itunes downloaded all my songs but on two only half of it played..what do i do?

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I just downloaded a album on Itunes and it only plays half the song on ever song?!?

I want the full songs or my money back!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop. My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs. Any ideas on what happened? Can I redownload them?

To be of any assistance I need more info.
Are they playing normal in iTunes or iPod?
if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help

I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

Purchased songs only playing half way through

I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?
