Starts playing half way through songs

i know this is probably a very trivial problem but my i tunes has started playing songs from where i last listened to them.
for example if i play half of oasis songbird and skip to the next track, the next time i play songbird it starts from where i left off.
this is very annoying and i cant find any way of stopping it. ive tries closing and re opening and shutting down my pc but neither helps.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated

It sounds as though you have "remember playback position" checked in Get Info>>Options tab.
If you have this set in a lot of tracks, this check box is available if you use get info on a selection of multiple tracks.

I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

Could be a defective SIM. Try a new one from your carrier.

Remove the song from the device either by using a computer or on the device itself.
You can redownload any song that you have currently purchased for free through itunes on a computer or iOS device. After deleted attempt to redownload the song.

Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.

Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning. When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

Why do songs stop playing half way through?

My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song. How can we fix this?

Hi ktrib76,
In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

Certain songs have started stopping half way through and skipping to the next track, how do i fix?

Recently I have found the certain songs, and its always the same ones, have started stopping half way thru and skipping to the next track. Even if I manually try and forward thru to the end of the track they wont go beyond half way. Does anyone else have this issue and are there any fixes?

I have figured out a fix. I have deleted the songs in question and then gone to the 'purchased' section in iTunes Store and re-downloaded the tracks and they work fine. Haven't found a problem on a non-downloaded track yet so not sure what fix would be there.

Can't hear long notes when played half way through

This is probably a common problem/question.
I often have very long sections with a single continuous chord (in this instance ‘dynamic swell’ ‘extra cello sect legato’ and ‘tonewheel organ’)
My problem is that to check edits on small sections of a composition I have to go right back each time to where the aforementioned chord begins in order for it to be heard. if I put the playhead half way along the chord it doesn’t play. Is there a way that the playhead can pick up on notes half way through? I’m sure this has been dealt with dozens of times on this forum but I could only find one post from 2010 that I couldn't apply to Pro-x. Thanks!

In LPX you need to turn on the Chase functionality
This is done by going to the Project Settings menu (Not Logic's General prefs)
LPX Menu Bar > File > Project Settings > Midi > Chase tab
I have mine set up as thus...
You may not need to or wish to turn on everything I have selected.. Play around and see what works best for you and your own method of working in Logic.
The specific function for playing sustained notes half way through is the first option (Notes and Sustained)
Note: This is a per Project setting and so only applies to that project and not any others.
Therefore...
I suggest you create a new project, set up chase and then save this blank project out as a template you will then choose and open each time you create a new project from now on... You new chase settings (alone with any other settings you wish to use in every new project) will then be setup of each new project you create. For any older projects you need this functionality in... you will have to set up chase for each one and then save.

TS1587 my machine starts , gets half way through boot up, and then crashes, any ideas?

my imac turns on, gets half way through booting up, then just stops.
any clues?

So, as per > Intel-based iMac: What to do if your computer won't turn on you have reset the SMC and Reseated your RAM...?
If so, then perhaps you need to replace the RAM with new modules.
To find out for sure, run the Apple Hardware Test as per > Using Apple Hardware Test

Song Plays Half Way Through

Okay, why is it that when I set my iPod Touch to play (shuffle) my play-list that some songs do not play all the way through before my iPod shuffles to the next song?
I have checked the song(s) in my computers iTunes library to see if they play all the through, both single play as well as shuffled and they play fine on my computer with out being cut off before it ends.
Only happens on my iPod Touch.

I recently purchased an Ipod Touch. I have the same problem. It doesn't matter what type of files either, Itunes or CD ripped. Nor does it matter if I have it set to shuffle or not.
It also started to mess up songs on my Nano the same way.
I've come to expect these type of problems with Crapsoft and Worthless Dell products. But I never figured it would be Apple. Say it ain't so, Apple! Et tu?

Purchased songs only playing half way through

I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.
Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?

My nano just switches off and stops playing half way through a track

Tried resetting several times ... still stops after approc a minute
I switch it back on and press play and it continues right were it went on pause.
Attempted to check if the MUSIC SETTINGS had some timeout ... but cant succeed.
Any advice?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

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.
