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.

Songs keep getting cut off

Most of the longer songs on my ipod get cut off at the end. I did the five 'R's and that didn't fix it. If I delete the song's and re-rip the cd on to the hard drive and sinc the ipod, that fixes the problem, but I have a ton of songs that are cutting off and don't want to have to re-rip all of my jazz cd's! I noticed that itunes will display the wrong time on a song if I jump to the end. It will count down to zero before the song has ended, but unlike the ipod, it plays the song after the time has displayed zero.
Please help!
Thanks.

By any chance are the songs that you are having issues with encoded using Apple's AAC format? I have an ongoing issue with my ipod in that songs encoded with AAC (whether purchased or ripped) will skip to the next song at a random point in the song. If the song is encoded in .MP3 format, then I don't have a problem.

Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

The subject line above says it all. Just need to know how to correct the problem. Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

My personal opinion is that it is a problem from some books that have been published via Smashwords. That has been my experience for one or two books I've downloaded. I contacted the author in one case and he replied:
"Just to let you know I've had some feedback from Smashwords about the odd display issue. It's relates to the line spacing in the original document, apparently. I'll be uploading a fixed version to them in the near future, though it might take a while for the new version to trickle down to the iBookstore."
So I dunno if your book is published by Smashwords, but if it is it may be worth contacting author?

TS1424 A song I purchased cuts off in the middle. I can't re-purchase it. What can I do?

A song I purchased cuts off in the middle. I can't re-purchase it. What can I do to fix this?

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.

Song Titles Get Cut Off

I have decided to convert all of the music on my computer from MP3 to AAC format, but when i convert songs the titles tend to be cut off after 35 characters or less. A good portion of my music has rather long names in the file titles because some of them have either those featured on the song or the name of the album within the file title while they are MP3, but after having converted them to AAC this causes an inconvenience because the title will be cut off at odd places such as just after the "artist - album title" or for example if the song title itself was "portion of the song title" the newly created AAC file will only display "artist - album title - portio" rather than "artist - album title - portion of the song title" as would be preferred. I have tried turning of the option of "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the Internet" and this has not helped at all.
Is the shortening of the song titles simply an issue that I will just have to live with or is there some other option/possibly downloadable patch that could stop this from happening to my selection of music? I would love to convert the music to AAC but i also enjoy not having sore eyes and a headache from tedious tasks like copying and pasting the song names from a website into the file names for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it wouldnt be such a problem if the conversion process just cut out the album title in the name of the file, but it's the fact that the album title remains part of the file title and the song name will be cut off instead so when viewing the files in the folder they all have either the exact same name minus and appended number or they all have only a portion of the title to the track

Words on some web pages are cut off or overlapped.

I have a Macbook and when I go to some web pages the words are cut off or in some cases are overlapped. Is there anything way to fix this, or is my screen size too small for some of the webpages? Thanks in advance.
In this pic it is on the left bottom.

In this pic it is towards the bottom, where you click on "Disscussions".

Regarding the picture you posted of the Apple Support site...
The text looks to be very large.
When I click on the "increase text size" button in Safari, I see the same thing as your picture.
Try clicking the "decrease text size" button.

I've tried deleting the song from my iPod and reloading it, but it still does the same thing. I have several hundred songs on my iPod and this is the only one I've had any trouble with ... please help!

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Ipod classic only shuffling some songs in playlist

i have 655 songs in a playlist but ipod only shuffles 165 of the songs. i've set ipod to shuffle under settings and then once the playlist is highlighted i hit play. only 165 songs are listed and only 165 will shuffle. if i turn off the shuffle feature ipod will play all 655 songs by album, but i'd like the ipod to skip around and not play the albums sequentially. any ideas?

Check the songs in your library. Under *File/Get Info/Options* is a tick-box called *Skip when shuffling.* Is there a tick in the box? If so, turn it off.
Check this for one song. If that is the problem, you can then highlight all the songs in the playlist and go to the *File/Get Info/Options* (iTunes will ask if you wish to edit multiple entries - yes, you do!). When editing multiple items, for some reason the *Skip when shuffling* tick-box will also have a drop-down menu box. Even if it says No, (which it did when I tested this) select Yes, _then change it back_ to No and click OK.
Sync your iPod and try the playlist again. When you play the first song in the playlist (on shuffle) does the display now say 1 of 655? It should.
