When i turn shuffle on, my song will switch about 20-30 seconds into the song unless i hold it still...why and how do i fix it ?

Whenever I have my shuffle on and I place my ipod on my waist, arm, backpack or whatever it may be, the song will change about 20-30 seconds into the song. It does this each and every song UNLESS I hold it in my hand practically still when I'm moving. I can't figure out why it does it or how to fix it but it's incredibly annoying. Also, it will repeat the same songs over and over without actually shuffling through my whole playlist, PLEASE HELP !

Ensure that "shake to shuffle" is turned off. Go to Settings > Music and the first option will say "shake to shuffle". If it is on the song will change everytime the iPod detects any movement.

TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

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.

While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song? I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

Hello nowrunning,
Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings? To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

I bought and downloaded a few song on iTunes. Now I see that some of the songs were not completely downloaded and stops a few seconds into the song. I went back to the album but it does not give me an option to re-download. What do I do so that I can down

When playing songs on my ipod the tracks begin 21 seconds into the song

Something weird is going on with my 3rd gen iPod Touch (32gb). When I play music, very often I run into a problem where all or most of the tracks in an album will begin playing 21 seconds into a song. For instance, I might select the first track in an album and it begins playing at 0:21. I can jump back to the beginning of the track and it plays normally, but then when the song ends it begins playing the next track at 0:21. This will continue for most of the tracks in a given album (but sometimes not all). I can always skip back to the beginning of the track, but each time an affected track is played it begins at 0:21.
I have reset my iPod to factory settings and then restored to a back up. I'm currently using iOS version 4.1 and I'm unfortunately unable to update any further. (Further iOS updates require updating iTunes, and I am unable to update past iTunes 9.2.1 because I'm still running OS 10.4.11.)

Additional info: It's not always 21 seconds, but the time remains consistent within an album. 75% of the tracks on The Lonely Island - Incredibad begin at 0:21. Half of the tracks on David Bowie - Scary Monsters begin at 3:16. The last two tracks on Ziggy Stardust begin at 2:24. Etc, etc.

I have a brand new mac and when I play music EVERY song randomly skips about every 3 seconds and then plays again

Is there something I need to do in itunes to get this to work?

I downloaded an album and the first few songs only play to 15 seconds of the song then the skip to the next one. I cant listen to them past those few seconds. What do I do to listen to the whole song?

So I downloaded the Ellie Goulding album and the first few songs only play up to 15 seconds of the song and then skip to the next one. It wont let me drag the scroller to a further point in the song because when I do it doesnt play and goes to the next one. But it isn't on the other songs. just the first 3 or 4. what do I do?I could rebuu the songs that would be a waste. I have a PC so i am having a hard time calling for support because I dont know the serial number.

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.

CPU 100% 20 seconds into every song

It may or may not be iTunes's fault, but I'm just making sure if anyone else is having similar problems.
About 20 seconds into every song, CPU usage skyrockets to 100%, and all I can do is wait until the CPU usage drops back down a few seconds later. Then the song continues just fine until 20 seconds into the next song.
I'm using iTunes 5 on Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2, (256 MB RAM), and I have SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (which I believe is onboard sound for my Intel Desktop Board D845PESV.)
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. I've isolated it in a number of ways trying to resolve it.
It always happens 13 seconds into playing a track. This applies whether it plays from the beginning, 1 min into the track or if I make is jump to different places. Each time, once it has played 13 seconds (ie first 13 secs or if I jump to 1 min immediately it will be at 1:13 or if I play 6 secs then jump to 1:30 it will happen at 1:37). The CPU spikes to 100%, pausing everything and leaving a 3 or 4 sec silence.
This happens regardless of track length. So a 1 hour dj set will have the CPU spike at 13 secs and then be fine for the next hour.
It seems to me to be related to some sort of buffering or something similar in Itunes. I have worked out that once it has caused the CPU spike I can restart the same track and it will play through without a hiccup. If I play the next track and then come back to the first track, though, it will glitch at 13 secs again. I can also make it glitch on a replay of the first track without playing any others by changing the tracks that are to come after it in the playlist. This seems to suggest it is related to buffering the coming track(s).
I can make the silent gaps go away by reducing the size of my music library considerably. It is over 45 gig now. If I reduce it to below 20 gig the CPU spiking occurs but not at 100% and so not causing the silences. The problems is still there, though, and itunes has played my 40 gig library fine for months without any such problems.
Recent changes have included a few software installs. I have removed those that I could (eg Nero) but I do still have one photo editing programme that I need for a current job. I had removed quicktime from my startup but seeing a suggestion that this caused such a problem I have put it back. This has not fixed the problem for me.
I have also bought a shuffle and would have probably run the software related to that. If you had a problem when you added a mini perhaps it's due to some sort of error arising from the software coming with new ipods when used with existing itunes installations? Just a guess.
I'm running Itunes 4.7.1.30
If anyone can help with this I would be most grateful as it is making Itunes unusable on my computer. I'm going to have to go back to playing cds!!!

Pause at 13 seconds into each song

For every single song that I play, the playback stutters at exactly 0:13 seconds into the songs. Normal playback resumes by 0:15 or 0:16. It does this with every single song.
It started a while ago (several i-tunes updates ago). I'm fairly certain it was fine back through all the 4.x versions. Somewhere in the 5.x it started.
I'm currently running 6.0.1
Anyone recognize this 13 second stutter symptom??

Yes, other people have experienced this too. It's your antivirus program.
Are you running NOD32 by any chance? As I recall that was one of the problem ones.

I want to use a portion of an iTune song but the section begins 5:48 into the song. How do I edit the sound selection?

Adding iTune selections appear to be defaulted to start at the beginning of the song, and you just trim the end off. But I want to start my selection within the song. How do I edit the song to appear on the video so that I can use a portion of the song 5 minutes and 48 seconds into the song?

Here is a reply I provided last week. Hope this helps. Noreen
Drag the song in to start of show. There is an icon that looks like a gear at the beginning of the green song strip. Click on this to see clip trimmer. The song will open in the screen on the bottom half of the iMovie screen. You drag the yellow start line to the place where you want the song to start. As my children have shown me, watch for the spikes to see the exact place, but listening along works also. You can trim a song from the beginning and the end so that you only use 30 seconds in the middle, if that is what you want.
I would also suggest using audio control to fade the song in, especially if you are starting at a loud point. The default fade in is half a second. I change that to 1.2 to 1.5, depending on the song. Also, if one song is louder than the next, you can equalize the volume by setting sound at 120% or whatever you think sounds correct for a specific song.
When trimming for a song at the end of a slideshow, you may need to drag the black (or any color) screen in to end and set duration for a few minutes so that you will be able to trim the song. Otherwise, the program will only drag in as much of the song as you have video remaining. I know that sounds confusing but once you try it, you will see what I mean. Once you have trimmed the song the way you want it, delete the black screen and fade song to end.

Only 1 minute and 30 seconds of the song plays that I pick

Just bought a new computer and downloaded iTunes, as I previously had it downloaded on a laptop. My song library shows up, but when I play a song, only 1 minute and 30 seconds of the song plays. Is this fixable?

I just downloaded a song and only got 1 min. 30 sec. It's suppose to be a 2 min. 35 sec. song. Did you find out how to get the complete song? If not, it's a waste of money and confidence in Apple. Thanks!

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

ITunes is stopping :24 seconds into a song

iTunes is stopping :24 seconds into a song on the first or second song that plays on one of my computers?
It happens whether home sharing is on or off. Match is off. I trying uninstalling all of the Apple software on the computer and re-installing it all. It made no difference. I have the latest version of everything.
Any ideas?

Solved it myself. Updating the video and audio drivers fixed it.
