Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
/facepalm
Any thoughts??

  • Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

    Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
    Thank you.

    This has started to happen to me too.

  • HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
    I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

  • Some songs stop playing after minute 1

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

    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.
    BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

  • Newly purchased songs stop playing after 12 seconds

    I have reviewed many posts on this topic and have yet to find what appears to be a solution.
    Here is what is going on:
    I recently upgraded my system from an aged laptop running xp home to the current desktop running xp pro.
    My collection of songs include from CD's and from apple store. I transferred over the songs only but not the library to the new system.
    All the old songs seem to play just fine.
    I have now purchased some new songs on the new system. These new songs will play for 8-12 seconds and then stop and play the next song for 8-12 songs, then stop and etc until it reaches one of the songs collected from the previous system. Then it plays those completely.
    What I have done so far:
    1. Deleted the authorization file. re-authorized the songs. The same songs are still stopping at the same interval 8-12 seconds.
    2. Played the songs in quicktime. The same songs still stop after 8-12 seconds.
    3. I disabled anti-spyware, and anti-virus programs. same issue remains.
    4. I ran a McAfee AntiVirus scan and came up clean.
    Again these songs were all downloaded successfully from the Apple Ipod store. I have the latest version of ITunes now.
    Any suggestions?

  • Songs stop playing after a short time

    Can some one please help me with this? I have down loaded a couple of songs out of many downloads from Itunes that play for 1 or 2 minutes and then stop. But if I fast forward over the part that skips the song will play to the end with no further problems. I've re-downloaded the songs, upgraded my nano and reset it to factory defaults and then reloaded the whole play list. None of this has helped and it is the same songs that have the problem.

  • Songs stop playing after about 2 minutes

    Certain songs in my iTunes library stop playing near the end and there is only silence.  It doesn't happen with every song so I can't predict which ones will behave this way.  Any ideas?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

  • Songs stop playing after upgrading to Windows Vista

    I upgraded to Windows Vista Business the released version.
    After the upgrade I started iTunes 7.02 and tried to play a song. It required me to reauthorize my song. Unfortunately, I had 5 computers already authorized so I just went to the iTune Store to deauthorized all my computers and reauthorizes the upgraded Vista computer.
    After reauthorization, I still cannot play my songs. ITunes pops up with the message that my songs needs authorization. I authorize the song and it says it is okay but will not play the song.
    I can still buy stuff from the iTunes Store but cannot play them or sync them with my ipod.
    Has the Apple testers ran into this problem?
    This is a problem for Apple since Windows Media Player works for Zune. It's sad what Microsoft has done.
        Windows Vista

    I finally solved my problem and here is how I did it:
    - De-authorized my computer
    - Uninstall iTunes
    - Re-install iTunes
    Now make sure you have another user account with administrator privileges.
    - Logged out of my user account
    - Logged in using the built in Administrator account
    - Launched iTunes from this account
    - Launched Windows Explorer and double clicked on one of my purchased songs.
    - Enter your password when the popup window for the password is shown.
    My song started to play.
    - Exited iTunes and logged out of that account.
    - Logged back into my user account.
    - Launched iTunes, and I was ok.

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • "AU audio file player" stops playing after a few seconds

    Hi there,
    i use "AU audio file player" in my concert set up.
    It worked fine til yet, but now it just stops playing after a few seconds.
    The track is 3 minutes, but it stops suddenly.
    I tried to reload the tracks and tried loading the "AU audio fle player" into a new session,
    but it still stops playing in any of the sets.
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much, S

    Hi Susanna,
    I did not find a way to trigger it from the keyboard...
    So I decided the following: I made a short cut for QuicKeys which opens the AUAudioFilePlayer and starts the loop I need. A quick solution which works with just hitting one key on the computer and the loop player starts. This works pretty well with QuicKeys but not with MS, the problem: sometimes when I choose by double clicking the AUAudioFilePlayer a black window shows up and only the name is readable, nothing else. I have to close it, reopen it and then- perhaps- the AU shows up and I can push the play button. Do you now that problem?

  • Need Help Getting a Flash File to stop playing after 15 seconds

    I was sent 3 flash files at work, however they infinitely
    look and many places require that these stop playing after 15
    seconds. In addition to this, at the 15 second mark at the current
    frame rate, the spot is only 85% complete. I figure I can increase
    the fps but I can't get the spot to stop. The stop code is of
    little use. Any help? Thank!

    you can use setTimeout(yourfunction,15000) to call
    yourfunction after 15000 milliseconds. in yourfunction your can use
    yourMovieclip.stop().

  • For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

    Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

    Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

    Mike, deleting the preferences did the trick, but I don't know why. Itunes downloaded 5 days of podcast! Hurray!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

  • Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

    why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.
