Songs stop playing halfway on MBP and iPhone 6 ?
I noticed the other day after upgrading to the iPhone 6 some of my songs would play for 45sec-1min and then would stop, and jump to the next song. I read that this could be an issue after transferring to a new phone, so I wiped all music off my phone and reloaded it. Unfortunately the issue still persisted.
I then went to test in iTunes on my MBP and found I was having the same issue with the same songs. It's not happening on all songs, in fact it appears to be random. Some I've bought from iTunes store, some I've ripped from CDs, and they're both affected the same. Then even more confusing I went back to my iPhone 5s and tested, all the songs play correctly.
I'm running the most current version of OS X and iOS. This issue is most frustrating, and I'm hoping someone could shed some light on a possible solution, thanks in advance!
Anyone?

HT1725 Paused a download then resumed and now song stops playing halfway through
I downloaded an album from iTunes Store and one song was going to take 2 hrs to download so I paused the download and then restarted it and it worked. But now when I play that song it stops about 2 minutes into it and skips to the next song. Please help?
Delete and redownload.
You do not pay for redownloads. Follow the direction:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
on my iphone 4 the songs skip in the middle and also stop playing mid song and restart from the beginning and it happens over and over and the song never completely finishes. I dont know what to do
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. -
Song stops playing in the middle and goes on to the next song...
I tried downloading the most recent itunes version, but my CPU says theres an error...so yeah...going on:
This one song I recently bought form itunes: "A*s Itch" by KoRn will play fine until it hits -1:42 and moves on to the next song (or restarts the song on repeat).
It's happened before, to other songs that is, but it usually just fixes itself. If there is a way to fix it WITHOUT needing to update itunes (since my CPU won't let me)then any advice or directions to fix it would be grateful.I have a bunch of songs imported from CD that are now much shorter than the originals; hundreds of songs are cut off. A song may be 3-4 minutes long, but iTunes shows it's only 45 seconds, whether played on iPod or iTunes. The only way I can see to fix it is to re-import each CD. Unfortunately, I have about 1,000 CD's. Any suggestions?

I've already done the steps recommended... deleted file, unauthorized and reauthorized device. Only thing left to do is delete songs, but what if it happens again?

I have Imatch and songs stop playing on my iphone I try to start it again and it will not play for more than 2-4 seconds, does anyone have the solution to this problem?
By "hard reset" you mean hold down the Home and power buttons until the iOS device restarts, correct?

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!!!!!!!!! -
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. -
I downloaded an entire album off of itunes today. When i went to the library to listen to them, four of the ten songs only played to 45 seconds and then stopped completly. Where as the rest of the songs played fine. Is there anyway to fix it?

SONG STOPPED PLAYING AND RESETS. ITS BRAND NEW AND I DID NOT DO ANYTHING
I just got a new iPod nano 7th generation on December 26 2014 and i got a glitch. any song stops playing and resets. I did not do anything.
Hello Daniel,
It sounds like you may need to restore your iPod nano and resync the music from your computer to resolve this issue. Here are some specific troubleshooting steps:
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203681
The Five Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore
Remember these five basic suggestions if you have an issue with iPod nano. Try these steps one at a time until the issue is resolved. If one of the following doesn't help, read on for solutions to specific issues.
Reset iPod nano. First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Retry with a different USB port if you cannot see iPod nano in iTunes.
Restart your computer and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
Download and reinstall iTunes.
Restore iPod nano.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Background
It's important to understand the difference between updating and restoring. Updating simply installs the software that controls iPod and does not affect the songs and files stored on iPod's disk. Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
Note: See this article if you need to restore an iPod shuffle.
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

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 in the middle of the track
Ok, so I've got hundreds on songs in my library and I noticed that certain songs stop playing in the middle of the song on my iPod. I get dead air, and then it starts playing the next song on the list even though the screen still shows the album art of the song that died. I have deleted the song from my player and then re-downloaded the song straight from iTunes only to have it happen again. I decided to run a little test and play that track on both my iPhone (3GS) and iPod (iPod Touch bought 2013) and sure enough, the song dies around the exact same time on both devices. I did not try syncing either devise to my computer (music files are not on my computer hard drive, but on a separate hard drive), so it wasn't like I kept removing and syncing a corrupted file. Now I'm finding more and more tracks have this same issue. So I have two questions:
1.) Is there a way to identify corrupted music files on my devices or will have to listen to each track in it's entirety to identify whether it is corrupted or not?
2.) Will I need to repurchase these tracks in order to correct the problem of playing in it's entirety?I have similar problem on two photo sleeks - affecting the same songs. I think it is a problem in the ripping of the CDs rather than the hardri'ves - otherwise it would affect different songs?

I've purchased an entire album but some of the songs stop playing midway through. How can I rectify this?
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. -
In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished
in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished
I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it. -
My downloaded song stops suddenly halfway through. I assume there was a problem with the download. Can I download the file again?? Will I have to purchase the song again?
You need to delete the current copy of the broken track from your library before it will be offered up for download. It may help to close and reopen iTunes.
If the problem persists and you can't get a good version of the file contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
