Skipping to the next song half way through...

Recently iTunes has started skipping to the next song when playing sometimes. It doesn't seem to be at set times, and if I go and replay the track it doesn't do it again, so I don't think it is an issue with that particular file, or the stop time. It is fully up to date (I updated it today, and it has done it before and after the update).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

hi, if this is also happening to specific songs on your ipod and on itunes, then you have to check the songs. right click on the song on itunes > get info > options and then check your End Time if it's displaying the time (in minutes or seconds) of the song where it will be ending. or try to restart your ipod by pressing the menu button and the center button together for 6 seconds, and if it didn't work out then try to restore your ipod through itunes (make sure that all you music and files will be deleted during restoring your ipod to the factory settings) good luck

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

  • New songs I add to iTunes skip to the next song half-way through

    Whenever I import new music that I have downloaded, iTunes skips to the next track half-way through. I don't have this problem with other songs, or when I transfer the songs to my iPhone or iPad. Does anyone know why this may be happening?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Recently downloaded tracks (from itunes store) skip to the next song half way through (same problem with the same tracks on my ipod).

    The end of the problem tracks won't play at all without skipping to the next track - even moving the slider to fast forward to the second half of the track, it will just skip to the next track.
    I've tried clicking on track info and checking/unchecking the start and finish times of said tracks as others suggested, which hasn't solved the problem. The files are not corrupted.

    I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

  • Why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

    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.

  • An album which i bought from the i tunes store keeps sjumping to the next song half way through the song. It only happens with this album and not any others, how do i stop it doing that? cheers

    This is happening with the coldplay album parachutes which i bought the other day and has never worked properly.

    Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Songs recently purchased on iTunes are skipping to next song half way through?

    I recently purchased two albums on iTunes and noticed half way through the songs it skips to the next song and then continues to do so with all of the recently purchased songs. I uploaded them to my itouch and it does it there too. Help?

    Had this problem, too, with Mountain Lion. I've subscribed to iTunes Match, though, so the fix is a little quicker in my case: Delete the track that displays the unwanted skipping behavior, then click on the cloud icon in the iCloud Download column to download a new copy from iCloud. (You may have to go to View-->View Options… to show the iCloud Download column in the iTunes window.)

  • My downloaded song from iTunes match "cloud" cuts into the next song half way though the song

    This happens on most of my songs that are not bought on iTunes. The uploaded copies are great they play fine untill you download them to anything. Then problem i have ocurrs. The problem is that half way through a downloaded song it cuts into the next song, while still telling me that the first song is still playing.
    I have tryed deleting then redownloading the song onto multiple divices like my iPhones, iPad but the song is still only plays half.
    well i hope someone can help fix this it's realy is annoying

    Fixed it....after searching here and seeing that there was a pretty widespread problem with that whole Kelly Clarkson album.
    My song was an imported MP3 from my CD.  I deleted it from the cloud and then locally on my PC I "Created AAC version".  Then reupdated iTunes match. Now it plays fine.

  • Skipping to the next song?

    This is happening on my iTunes so I am sure that is why it is happening on my Nano. For some of my songs, the Nano is skipping to the next song half way through the previous song. Why is this happening and what can I do about it?

  • TS1717 I was downloading an album and and songs jump to next track half way through

    My last download showed an error message and most of the tracks jump to the next one half way through the track.Any ideas?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.

  • HT203167 I bought a song using an I-coke credit and it only plays half way through then it skips to the next song??

    I recently bought a song on I-tunes using an I-coke credit, the song only plays half way through, before it skips to the next song, does anyone know what is going on and what I can do to fix this??

    Remove the song from the device either by using a computer or on the device itself.
    You can redownload any song that you have currently purchased for free through itunes on a computer or iOS device.  After deleted attempt to redownload the song.
    Follow instuctions here to download a song onto a computer or here on a iOS device.

  • So ive downloaded a few songs recently, and for some reason they play about 4-5 second or half way through then skip to the next song. Why is this?

    I dont know why this would happen. Its happened to a few songs. i pay the full price for them and when i go to play them, they skip to the next song shortly after. Please help.

    If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
    The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
    Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

  • 4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

    Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

    I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete the songs and redownload by:

  • Some of my newly downloaded songs will not pay all the way through, they just skip to the next song

    I just recently downloaded two new cds on iTunes and not all the songs, but a few of them will not play all the way out. It will play and then just skip to the next song! How can I fix it????

    Hey ronserickson,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the songs do not play completely. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
