Song Plays for 9 Seconds then stops

One of my songs on my iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB pink plays for 9 seconds then stops. It plays perfectly in iTunes. My iTunes software and iPod software are up to date. I tried restoring it but no luck. The song file isn't corrupted because it plays on my sisters MP3 player and in iTunes and in Windows Media Player. I've tried Apple suggestions too. If nothing helps I'm going to go the store I bought it at because I have an extended warranty, to see if they can help me.

Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

  • My songs play 10 seconds then switch to the next

    My itunes is yacked!  My songs and or videos play about 10 seconds then automatically switch to the next song. I synced and now my ipod does too!  I have looked everywhere and cant figure it out!  HELP!

    I found that removing them from my iTunes library, then re-adding them, solved the problem. No idea why this should be happening though; the 30-second bit is surprising, and I wonder if it has something to do with 30-second previews that are available on some web sites. Perhaps there's some sort of marker in the file, and iTunes interprets it as the end of the file. But why re-adding them fixed the issue, I know not.

  • Songs play... then stop

    well..... i was listening to music while on safari.
    and everytime i would go to another website
    then songs would just stop.
    is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    It almost seems like something in the rendering of the page is stepping on the memory space of the iPod player. Pressing the "play" button on the headphones doesn't start it, just takes you to the iPod screen.

  • The song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

    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.

  • IPod nano (4th gen) plays any song for 40 seconds, then stops

    Strange behaviour from my 4th gen iPod nano:
    1. When plugged into Logitech iPod dock, plays any song selected for 40 seconds, then stops. Hit play, it plays for another 40 seconds, then stops again. (Logitech iPod dock works fine with my wife's iPod nano.)
    2. When plugged into the Pioneer car stereo, the car stereo reports that the iPod is in SET UP mode, which it never comes out of. (As above, car stereo has no problem with my wife's iPod.)
    3. iPod nano is detected normally by iTunes and works normally when plugged into desktop computer.
    4. iPod (and iTunes) software is up to date.
    5. Resetting the iPod (Menu + Centre button hold) has no effect on either (1) or (2) above.
    6. Help?
    Steve

    Update: Restore to factory settings does not solve this problem. I'm really stumped.

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

  • 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

  • HP G56 intermitte​nt sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.

    HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.  I have made sure that the latest sound driver is installed and this makes no difference. The laptop is new so there is no other software on it other than the pre-installed stuff operating on windows 7.  In sound options all looks well and the device is said to be working properly.  Even the sound test in device manager sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?
