Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

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.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

Mike, deleting the preferences did the trick, but I don't know why. Itunes downloaded 5 days of podcast! Hurray!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Newly purchased songs stop playing after 12 seconds

I have reviewed many posts on this topic and have yet to find what appears to be a solution.
Here is what is going on:
I recently upgraded my system from an aged laptop running xp home to the current desktop running xp pro.
My collection of songs include from CD's and from apple store. I transferred over the songs only but not the library to the new system.
All the old songs seem to play just fine.
I have now purchased some new songs on the new system. These new songs will play for 8-12 seconds and then stop and play the next song for 8-12 songs, then stop and etc until it reaches one of the songs collected from the previous system. Then it plays those completely.
What I have done so far:
1. Deleted the authorization file. re-authorized the songs. The same songs are still stopping at the same interval 8-12 seconds.
2. Played the songs in quicktime. The same songs still stop after 8-12 seconds.
3. I disabled anti-spyware, and anti-virus programs. same issue remains.
4. I ran a McAfee AntiVirus scan and came up clean.
Again these songs were all downloaded successfully from the Apple Ipod store. I have the latest version of ITunes now.
Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s music library is glitchy... skipping some songs, stops playing others... ideas?

Since upgrading to an iPhone 4s, I have noticed some strange behavior from my music player. Nearly every time I play music for more than 20-30 minutes, something will happen and a song will suddenly skip or just stop playing altogther. It is extremely weird. It will physically not allow me to back up to the song that skipped, or start it over.
This is not a permissions issue, everything is fine on that end. It is almost always when shuffling my music, although tonight when I noticed it happen to a particular song, I tried to play it buy selecting the exact song (and then album) and it would still not play. Tried it on my iTunes library on my MBP immediately after and it played just fine.
I have seen very old discussions about AAC format. Nearly 100% of my music is AAC (the particular song tonight is even one purchased from iTunes), and my library has never had any issues like this before, including my old iPhone 4 or any of the numerous iPods, iPads and computers that I've run.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Suggestions?

Ok, I have been here and found an answer....
Assuming you are steaming using Bluetooth and the problem only started after updating to IOS6.... ?
I stream to a good hifi system so my answer is only related if you are steaming to a Bluetooth adapter or a
Bluetooth enabled system
And also...
If you are using Bluetooth & ios6....+ here is an answer I got ...
Many producers of Bluetooth adapters etc.... Use bt2.1 and state compatible with bt4.
Trouble is, bt4 wasn't around at the time so they assumed compatibility.
Now.... From IOS6.... Apple upgraded to bt4, gives better Bluetooth connectivity so they are delivering added benefit.
A lot of older bt adapters have firmware bugs with bt4.
I contacted my supplier who wouldn't agree but threatened legal action if I was to publish...
Can't of ford the fight so... Sold my bt receiver on eBay and bought an apple airport express.
Problem solved and also, i got a better quality of music.
Remember you do need wifi to use the airport express but who hasn't got that these days ?
One last point...
if you are streaming to a decent hifi system and choose to do go down the airport express route
The mini adapter.... Headphone out socket on the airport express is also a mini toslink socket...
So, if you want to get the best from your music (limited by iTunes of course) you can use the toslink optical digital output .
Then you get into Dacs etc and start spending more n more...
Hope this helps

Songs stop playing after a short time

Can some one please help me with this? I have down loaded a couple of songs out of many downloads from Itunes that play for 1 or 2 minutes and then stop. But if I fast forward over the part that skips the song will play to the end with no further problems. I've re-downloaded the songs, upgraded my nano and reset it to factory defaults and then reloaded the whole play list. None of this has helped and it is the same songs that have the problem.

Songs stop playing after about 2 minutes

Certain songs in my iTunes library stop playing near the end and there is only silence. It doesn't happen with every song so I can't predict which ones will behave this way. Any ideas?

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
/facepalm
Any thoughts??

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.

Songs stop playing after upgrading to Windows Vista

I upgraded to Windows Vista Business the released version.
After the upgrade I started iTunes 7.02 and tried to play a song. It required me to reauthorize my song. Unfortunately, I had 5 computers already authorized so I just went to the iTune Store to deauthorized all my computers and reauthorizes the upgraded Vista computer.
After reauthorization, I still cannot play my songs. ITunes pops up with the message that my songs needs authorization. I authorize the song and it says it is okay but will not play the song.
I can still buy stuff from the iTunes Store but cannot play them or sync them with my ipod.
Has the Apple testers ran into this problem?
This is a problem for Apple since Windows Media Player works for Zune. It's sad what Microsoft has done.
Windows Vista

I finally solved my problem and here is how I did it:
- De-authorized my computer
- Uninstall iTunes
- Re-install iTunes
Now make sure you have another user account with administrator privileges.
- Logged out of my user account
- Logged in using the built in Administrator account
- Launched iTunes from this account
- Launched Windows Explorer and double clicked on one of my purchased songs.
- Enter your password when the popup window for the password is shown.
My song started to play.
- Exited iTunes and logged out of that account.
- Logged back into my user account.
- Launched iTunes, and I was ok.

Some programs stop playing after a few minutes

Hi. I've noticed something pretty frustrating over the past month (only have had FIOS for a few months). Random programs don't play beyond a few minutes. I thought it was a MR DVR issue, but it even happened on a few shows recorded on the same box I was playing it on.
I tried to reboot the entire system, so unplugged all DVRs and router - plugged back in after a minute. Same thing still.
This really hit home tonight when I tried watching the most recent episode of The Walking Dead - of course that one won't play beyond 5 minutes.
What do I do?

Sorry to hear about the troubles you guys are having with the DVR. There could be two explanations for this. Either the error is within the box or the feed being sent for that channel. To address this if it's a problem with the DVR functioning, please press menu, then go to CUSTOMER SUPPORT, then IN HOME AGENT, then SET TOP BOX AUTO CORRECTION. Let me know if you need further assistance after doing that.

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

Juk stops playing after 2 songs?

Hello Everybody,
I've recently installed KDE 4.2 (on a clean base system) and juk seems to stop playing after 2 songs. Is this a bug, or am I being an idiot? Are there some logs I can read? Launching it from a terminal I get a warning:
juk(4736): Couldn't resolve the mime type of " "" " -- this shouldn't happen.
but it only seems to occur once when I select the first song to play.
What do you think?

No, I'm note useing laptop mode tools. I've installed sonata and mpd and they work fine, so this would provide circumstantial evidence to support your hypothesis that this is a phonen/xine related problem, since mpd doesn't use xine/phonen.
Edit: Are you using i686 or x86_64? I've got an Amd64 system and am using the 64 bit packages. At the moment everything but my laptop is out of comission thanks to electrical problems at my apartment, when I get things back up and running, I'll file a bug report.
Does anybody know if there are any relevant logs to read/post?
