Songs getting cut off

okaay so my problem is whenever I import a cd into all seems okay until I sync the songs into my ipod. It seems that the first song is always cut off and then it skips to the next song. Does anybody else seem to have this problem? How do I solve this? What am I doing wrong? Suggestions please. Thanks.

I really think the problem is iTunes, not the iPod. It appears that iTunes fouls up a few songs during large transfers. At seemingly random points in the data stream it inserts a gap, and when either iTunes or an iPod encounters one of these gaps, it interprets it as the end of file, regardless of the tagged length of the song, which is at the beginning of the file.
When I find songs that don't play through their proper end, I put them into a playlist. Once a week, I make iTunes transfer those songs to my iPod again. (A four-step process: uncheck; sync; check; sync.) Then I play the playlist to confirm that the newly-transferred files work.
I hope to avoid restoring the iPod or having iTunes transfer my whole library at one time until Apple releases a new version of iTunes with specific documentation that the bug has been fixed (I've reported the bug to Apple and ask that you do likewise). I last allowed iTunes to send all of my 14.2 GB of music on 4/6/09 and have spent what will be nearly two months listening to my entire collection to make sure each song works. About 5 percent don't, but when I replace the files, they work. It seems best to limit the size of iTunes's transfers, as well as reducing iTunes's competition for computing resources during that time.

  • How do you increase/decrease volume on an iTunes song?  Also, some songs get cut off before they are over.

    This is in reference to Follow Up 286560206; under the control tab on "Libraries" the drop down indicates that a song can be increased in volume by pressing ctrl + up and decreased by pressing ctrl + down, but no matter how I try it nothing happens.  Also, some songs get cut short, and once I saw an option on how to lengthen the play time on a song, but I can't remember how to get back to this screen.  Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (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.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Songs keep getting cut off

    Most of the longer songs on my ipod get cut off at the end. I did the five 'R's and that didn't fix it. If I delete the song's and re-rip the cd on to the hard drive and sinc the ipod, that fixes the problem, but I have a ton of songs that are cutting off and don't want to have to re-rip all of my jazz cd's! I noticed that itunes will display the wrong time on a song if I jump to the end. It will count down to zero before the song has ended, but unlike the ipod, it plays the song after the time has displayed zero.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    By any chance are the songs that you are having issues with encoded using Apple's AAC format? I have an ongoing issue with my ipod in that songs encoded with AAC (whether purchased or ripped) will skip to the next song at a random point in the song. If the song is encoded in .MP3 format, then I don't have a problem.

  • I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy 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.

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Last Seconds of Last Track on CD Getting Cut Off

    The last few seconds of the last track of CDs I import are getting cut off. It has happened multiple times.
    Any ideas?

    This started with 7.6.1.9 upgrade. If you look at the forum "iTunes 7.6.1.9 import - last track on CD cuts 6 seconds short" that I started last week, there is a user with a workaround until there's a fix. It's a pain. Someone imported 300 CDs in his collection and then realized all the last tracks are messed up.
    AIFF Workaround: Set preferences to import as AIFF (Edit-->Preferences-->advanced --> Importing)
    Import the CD
    Change preferences back to whatever you normally use to import
    Then select your songs you've imported
    Right click on the songs and say "convert selection to _"
    (whatever format you normally use)
    It takes a while, but it works! I forget which user reported it but a BIG THANKS to him as we can at least import until there's a new version. (check out the forum for the user!)

  • Text in Dynamic Textfield gets cut off

    Hi
    I have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text.
    For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular
    line of text get cut off.
    I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the
    _height Property but it doesn't make a difference.
    I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it
    the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change
    the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font
    looks a little different as well.
    Any ideas?

    Why should I start a new thread if this one was never resolved and I am still having the same problem?
    ANYWAY,
    I was able to fix this by finding an answer on a different forum.
    Simply increase the text leading using the text format option, like so:
    var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    format.leading = 2;
    field_txt.defaultTextFormat=format;

    If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front.  This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card.  This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

  • What size should my movies be to not get cut off?

    I am making a tutorial DVD. I used Snapz Pro to record a bunch of screen capture movies and then edited them together in FCP and exported them as 1024x768 animation movies and they look great. Now I want to burn them to DVD. When I take them as they are and put them on a DVD the top and bottom of the screen get cut off. Can I just resize the movies in QT pro to a different size so they won't cut off? If so what size? Is there a better way?

    Scott,
    A mix of this QuickTime Pro: How to Make Picture-in-Picture at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42633 and the following procedure I put together a couple of years ago to use the small movies produced by still digital cameras in iMovie/iDVD:
    1. Create a 640 x 480 black mask with a slightly lighter black 320 x 240 center in Photoshop. Save it as a JPG file.
    2. Open your DiMage X movie in QuickTime Pro. Open the saved mask in another QuickTime Pro player (at 15 fps).
    3. Select the mask clip and edit->select all and then edit->copy
    4. Select the DiMage X clip and then edit -> add scaled the mask
    5. Next, select movie -> get movie properties
    6. Select video 2 on the left box and layers on the right box. Set the layers to 1 (that moves the mask to the back).
    7. Select video one on the left box and size on the right box. Click on adjust. Red hack marks appear around the video. Click on the picture (not the mark) and center the video on the lightened 320 x 240 box.
    8. The video may not completely cover the lighter box, but the hack marks should line up. When you view the movie, if you used a "slightly lighter" black for the center area, you won't a notice a lighter area when played in iDVD.
    9. Export it as a DV stream. Bring it into iDVD.
    will give you an idea on how to proceed. Obviously, you will need to come up with your own mask and cut-out size - 640x480 ISN'T what YOU want.

  • Tops of Signatures get cut off...

    Can anyone tell me why or, better yet, how to fix the following issue I keep having?
    When using Adobe Reader and the "Sign>I Need To Sign>Place Signature" function with "Signature Style 4" the top of some of the letters of signatures gets cut off (see screenshot below). 
    I cannot find a way to rejustify the text nor am I able to enlarge only the box that the text is located in.  The single enlarging feature for the box is a diagonal enlargement tool which inherently also enlarges the text when it is used.  So it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to fix and only makes the issue into a larger size.
    Any assistance in correcting this issue is greatly appreciated!

    There are several situations where this could happen.
    1) If you have 4:3 footage (standard def) in a 16:9 project (widescreen) and select CROP in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool, then it will cut off the top and bottom of your clips to make them fill the screen. If you select FIT instead of CROP, it will letterbox (add black bars) so you see the whole clip.
    2) This can also happen when you automatically apply image stabilization. Stabilization works by zooming in. You can turn off stabilization in the Clip Inspector.
    3) If you have iPhone clips and the iPhone was held vertically, then this will be an issue for you, because iMovie always sets the aspect ratio to match a TV screen, so the horizontal dimension will always be the longest. For best results, shoot all movies in landscape mode on your iPhone. If you have already shot in Portrait Mode, I suggest using FIT rather than CROP so you do not cut off the heads.

  • When I minimize my window, the scrollbars and tabs get cut off and I can't get to them.

    The tabs get cut off right in the middle of a tab, and the scroll bars disappear so I can't change what part of the screen I'm viewing. This is particularly annoying when watching netflix. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.
