Some songs play up to a point, then skips to next

hallo - since i updated itunes, some of the songs in my library plays up to a point, and then skips to the next track. in itunes it shows the the whole song is there, and when moving beyond the skip point with the seek slider, it plays.. its like the song has been cut in half.. is there anyone who has the same problem or knows what causes this? ive tried activating start and stop times in the info palette - to no avail..

I have the same problem. I have seen several other people dealing with the same issue yet Apple has yet to deliver any answer...ridiculous. Kinda like the sync issue with Windows 7 64bit.. a sea of problems but not a fix in sight... maybe its time for a ZUNE....

  • Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips.

    Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips. The rest of the songs from the album play fine. Purchased 5 albums at once and all songs play except the one. I've looked for a way to report this and can't locate a link and I was unable to reload the song from the purchased link. I am using Windows Vista and Itunes 10.6.3.5

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync.  I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync.  What's the problem?

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

    Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

    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.

  • After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out

    i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.

    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.

  • HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

    This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked.  Any ideas?

    Why can't you delete it and redownload it?

  • Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

    Hi,
    I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer. 
    I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2.  I don't know why it's been doing this.  Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2.  After the restore, the same problem consisted.  Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too.  I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song.   For example,  choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library.  They are just examples) but it keeps the name.  So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
    Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough.  I tried the best I could.  I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5.  I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
    Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having?  I already tried the restore.  I don't know what else to do.

    I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

  • Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

    Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

    Try this Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Test the sound again.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
    Good Luck!

  • Some songs play for short time

    Some songs in my library only play for 2 seconds and then move on to the next song. When I tried to drag the slider forward in the song it moves to the next one. Only some songs do this and I can't figure out why. It shows that the song is X amount of length but only plays 2 seconds or 10 seconds.

    The start and stop times can be adjusted in iTunes. To check if you or someone else has inadvertantly changed these settings, proceed as follows:
    Click the song which is not playing as it should, once.
    Press the Command (Apple) key and i key together. Click on "Options" and turn the checkmark(s) off next to the start and stop times.

  • Itunes plays song for 10 seconds then skips to next song and so on....

    Hey Everyone
    I recently acquired a macbook (love it). However I have one issue, I imported all my music off my windows formatted ipod, and then formatted my Ipod for Mac. Everything plays fine, however I have one major issue. Some (not all) of the songs in itunes play for about 10 seconds and then jump to the next song. if I skip ahead past this 10 second barrier, the song plays fine . This happens on my itunes as well as my ipod.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
