Songs do not start at the beginning

Recently I have noticed that my iPod Touch (2G) is randomly skipping the beginning of every song. In other words, when a song begins, it'll begin 5 seconds, 10 seconds and even 40 seconds into a song. I don't know what could be causing this. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already rebooted my iPod, but that did not help.

Hi Egidio,
Try to Get Info tracks you are seeing this issue on in iTunes. Is "Remember playback position" checked?
This option will cause iTunes and the iPod to resume playing the track from where stopped, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23496

  • Imovie song does not start at the beginning after I edited the duration of the clip

    my imovie song does not start at the begining after I edited the duration of my clips. The audio clip now starts in the middle of the song. This is occuring with the second song in my video. How do I adjust the audio to start at the beginning of the song.

    For pop ups. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Select:  Block pop-up windows
    safari starts always with top page even I have apple.com as a starting window
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the General tab. You can reset your homepage from there.
    history its not saving or at least not showing when i press the thingy that looks like a little book on the tools bar
    That icon represents your Bookmarks not history.
    To view history, from your Safari menu bar click History > Show History
    Or Option + Command + 2 on your keyboard.

  • Songs won't start at the beginning!

    Just got a brand new ipod, and am having a huge problem with songs starting in the middle of the song. Also if I play a few seconds of one song, then skip to the next, and then go back to the original song, it WILL NOT start at the beginning-keeps going to back to wherever it stopped playing! It still does this if I turn it off and back on. Nothing seems to work. Anyone know why?

    Hello msjazzer,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you made sure your tracks' Start and Stop time have not been altered within iTunes? To do this locate the tracks you are having issues with. From there, highlight them, right -> click on them and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut pop up menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. First make sure the Start time is set to the beginning of the song and the Stop time is set to the end.
    Also make sure the "remember playback position" option is not ticked as well from under this same tab. If you make any changes hit OK and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    Otherwise, perhaps you could take a look at this Apple support document.

  • How do I get a numbers spread sheet to open where I left it and not start from the beginning every time I open it?

    There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
    Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

  • Logic X playhead will not start at the beginning of project.

    Logic X playhead will not start at the beginning of project. When I push play, it starts from a point from which I was working earlier. When I press play from beginning, it will only play from that other point. I've tried saving the project with the playhead at the beginning, after dragging it there, then closing and  re-opening the project but it still starts playback at that undesired point!...even when I push the stop button twice, (go to beginning) it does not go!...Why does this happen?

    It is behaving as though there is a marquee at that point but I did not have one... I placed one at a different point and it played from there (normal) but when I turned it off, it went back to my 'problem' point! And, after mousing around with a few marquees and playhead 'drags', it was "fixed"... But I never knew what the problem stemmed from... And...It tends to happen on occasion, in different projects.... I'll continue to monitor these glitch events, and keep you posted!

  • Music Videos Do Not Start At The Beginning

    Hi
    I have transferred about 8 music videos onto my ipod but they dont start at the beginning - they start about 30 secs into the song and i have to skip back to see the start. Is there a setting that i have missed that would solve this?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Dell   Windows XP  

    Highlight the video, do a "Get Info" (right click to see it) and under the options tab check and see if the start time is checked and set to 30 seconds. If so, deselect it to play from the beginning. Also check and see if the "remember playback position" box is checked which will start the selection at the last place you left off (useful for audio books, long podcasts, etc. Not so much for music and short videos).

  • Downloaded songs don't start at the beginning of the song, why?

    the songs i bought from itunes don't start at the beginning of the song,  it's just the preview clip.

    Been having the same problems myself. And I don't know about you but sometimes it'll take a while to get it to actually play the first song.

  • Songs don't start at the beginning.

    Greetings,
    Recently I have found that my device will start playing the next song 10seconds into the song as opposed to starting at the beginning. My device is probably two years old now, but has had pretty good care. Any suggestions on why it may be doing this? Any suggestions on what needs to be done?

  • Songs not starting at the beginning.

    I keep finding that if I've listened to a track but changed halfway through the next time I go to listen to the initial track it starts where I left of. It does this on my iPod as well.
    Is there anyway to stop this as it is becoming quite annoying and it has only just started within the past three weeks or so.
    I have the newest version of iTunes.
    Thanks for any help.

    This is actually the problem I think. I made the decision to erase the data and reset the entire iPod, which let it inoperable for most of the day until I figured out how to put it in recovery mode and get it working again. I then reloaded just a handful of my songs and took a look. Some do have "Remember Playback Position" selected. I'm not sure why, but I will deselect it, of course, and see if it works. That's a million.

  • Songs are not playing from the beginning of the track

    When using the shuffle feature on iTunes some of the songs songs that are played do not begin from the start of the track.
    Others start fine, I have no idea why this should be the case.
    Can anyone please advise?
    Thanks

  • Not starting from the beginning of podcasts?

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with my iphone 4, running IOS4.1. About half of the time, when I start a podcast, it starts in the middle. Very odd. Anyone know of fixes or others having this problem?
    Thanks!

  • ATV3 plays wrong song and has gap at the beginning

    Hi there,
    just got my ATV3 exchanged, because the old new one has got this media-library-connection-error, however with the new one I am experiencing a strange behaviour via WLAN and via Ethernet.
    Whenever I stream music and skip songs manually playback will start immediately from the beginning of each song.
    Playing playlists or entire albums causes a freeze at the beginning of a new song and playback starts between 3 or 6 seconds later, from this length of gap on in the song, so not starting at the beginning. Often it plays a different track than the one displayed (most of the time the next in sequence).
    Anybody else experiencing this?
    Thanks for your help,
    Andreas

    Solved it by turning homesharing off an on again!

  • IPhone4 - Songs do not start playing at the beginning

    Hi
    I recently purchased an iPhone 4. When I play music, a lot of the tracks do not start at the beginning. I have restored the phone and upgraded to 4.3.5 but this does not help the problem. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of iTunes. Does anyone have any ideas on how to sort this out. I took the phone to the Apple store but they would not replace the phone because they said it must be a software problem... Many thanks.

    Yes, I resolved this issue. I restored my iPhone to version 4.3.5, then uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed iTunes and it worked. I think I changed the name of my device and deleted the iTunes folder before I re-installed iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • In Flash the sound does not play only started from the beginning. Can anyone please help?

    In Flash, the sound only plays if the file is started from the beginning. The sound doesn't play if starting from anywhere other than the beginning.
    This is very frustrating when trying to sync the animation with the sound as it's not possible to scroll back and forward with the sound playing. The only way the sound works is if it is started from the beginning.
    If anyone can help that would be fantastic.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeromie,
    Many thanks for your help. Here is some additional information, which may shed light on the problem.
    I am using Flash Professional CC  2014.0 release,  Build 14.0.0.110
    The computer I'm using is then iMac running OSX version 10.9.3 Build 13D65 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    I am using Flash, not a web-based editor that leverages Flash Player.
    "a direct link to the project or tool would be useful in allowing us to attempt to reproduce the problem" -  Not sure how to do this, how can I add the project to the forum?
    Many thanks once again for your help, let me know if you need more information.
    Cheers
    Michael
