Songs are corrupt on iPad while playing fine in iTunes

Dear community,
I have a problem with some musical pieces on my iPad2 and my iPhone5. Some songs simply won't play to the end. I play them on iTunes on the Mac and they play fine. I play them from the harddisk on the Mac and they play fine. But on the iPhone and iPad they stop before the song ends. This seems randomly for different songs on the iPhone and the iPad.
Could there be a faulty memory or such a thing?
I have both searched the community and the web and found other users with the same problem but without ever finding a solution. Is there one?
Thanks and all the best.

  • Song corrupted in iPod while plays fine in iTunes, but can't be re-imported

    I have a play list of MP3 songs that I created from the same CD.  They have played for a long time in my iPod (probably iPod 3) until today when I wanted to edit them (change "Composer").  One song just won't change.  After inspection I discovered the "info' was grayed out.  When I tried to play it, it won't play.
    When I played the same song in iTunes, it played fine.  I deleted the song from iPod (not sure what Apple was doing.  Did it delete the song, or just remove it from the list?), then re-import again.  Same problem.  When I look at it in iPod alone, the song disappeared.  Just to note that I can see it in iTunes when I connect my iPod to my PC.
    I can assure you the song is fine (the ine in my PC), compatible with iPod (mp3, part of a group that all work), not such thing as read-only etc.  What's going on and how do I fix this?

  • I have found my old ipod (which was linked to itunes on a computer gone years ago w/ an itunes act I dont remembe).  Currently the songs are visible and I can play them on itunes but I cannot sync them into my current library.  How do I sync both systems?

    I have tried to: sync the songs, organize the library and consolidate files, copy and paste songs
    Nothing has worked so far.
    Also when my ipod comes up in my computer, the songs are not present there.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • Watching tv on my ipad is fine but when I airplay it to the tv from the ipad it plays fine but freezes and sticks intermittently ...

    I don't understand why on the ipad everything plays fine but when I airplay it to the tv ( 1 metre away)  it plays fine for about 20 seconds then the picture sticks and sound jumps....then plays normally until it freezes again.

  • Is there a "replace files" bug in iTunes?  Plays fine in iTunes- not on Pod

    Hello, all. Long story short, I'm re-ripping all my CDs at a higher bit rate. I'm going from 128 Kbps AAC to 192 Kbps AAC (variable bit rate.) Now I'm having issues.
    So far, when iTunes asks me if I want to replace my existing files before I rip, I say "yes," but now I'm wondering if that's a big mistake due to a bug in iTunes. Why? Well, although the newly ripped album plays fine in iTunes and through my iPod (using it as a hard drive through the computer), once I disconnect my iPod and make it portable, the iPod will skip track #2 (for example) of a 9 track cd.
    I've reset my iPod - no change.
    I've deleted the album from my iPod and dragged it back on there - no change.
    I'm trying to track down the root of the problem. The replacement file is obviously fine, and even plays in another media player. Someone said "replacing" files is bad because iTunes doesn't replace gapless playback information, and it uses old data for your newly sized files. Is that the root of my problem? Does iTunes have a "replace existing files" bug? It's the only thing I can think of. A solution would be to have iTunes re-analyze all my iTunes tracks for gapless playback and other data, but that doesn't seem to be an iTunes option. Any ideas? Re-ripping the cd is not an option. (But for all you whistle blowers, rest assured it was a cd I bought, so everything is legal.)

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.

  • Video plays fine in iTunes / only plays audio in iPod

    I put an MPG4 movie into iTunes and it plays fine in iTunes. After syncing it into my iPod, I find that it plays the sound but not the actual video and it shows a tiny still of the video where the album cover usually goes.
    Please help.

    What type of iPod are you using? You've posted in the "iPod with color display" section, this model isn't designed to play video content. To play video files you need a 5th Generation iPod with video. You can read more about what formats you can use on this page: iPod 101: Which Files Work With iPod and iTunes

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

  • Sound stops while playing music with iTunes Match

    While playing music from iTunes Match, the sound stops.  The music continues to play but there is no sound.  If I double click the song, the sound will start again.  But after that song is finished and it advances to the next song.  The sound will stop again and I have to double click the song again.  Other sounds on my MB-Air will still work.  Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

    It happens to me too. I listen the most on my iPhone. Song is playing, but no sound. Sometimes I have to close the app and relaunch to recover. Very annoying.

  • While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

    While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

    Try to download the application VLC.
    It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
    In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

  • Why are some of my purchased songs cutting off when I play them on my iPod but play fine on iTunes on my laptop?

    Here's a question that's been bugging me for years, and I'm trying - again - to find an answer.  I have a couple dozen songs purchased off the iTunes Store that are clipped then I play the on my iPod (4th or 5th generation; sorry that I can't remember). They cut off in exactly the same places. Re-syncing never helps. The songs all play just fine on iTunes on my laptop.
    What's going on? How do I fix it?  Thanks in advance!

    Try deleting them from the iPod and redownloading them directly to the iPod
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
