Stops before song ends

Hello, Hope someone can help. I have an iPod Classic 30GB. About a month ago it started stopping before a song ended, ie the song would be playing and about 1 minute from the end it would stop. Sometimes it would just stop and go on to the next song, sometimes it would stop and just freeze up. I did a restore, same thing happens but more frequently. I experimented a bit and deleted all instances of a "stopped" song, repurchased it, resynced the iPod....that particular song now plays all the way through. What is going on? Are the song files corrupting? Am I going to eventually have to repurchase all my songs? And and all advice appreciated!!!

Not sure what is happening exactly, but it could be early signs of a dying hard drive.
Try and do a disk diagnostic as described by turingtest2.  The post also explains what each of the numbers mean.

  • Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

    I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
    I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
    I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
    I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
    I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
    The problem continued.
    I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
    I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
    I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
    Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

    I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

  • HT1657 i rent a movie and stop before the end how i can fix this

    i rent a movie but stops before the end how do i fix this

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Has the rental fully downloaded in iTunes.

  • TS1362 a few songs that I have purchased dont play the whole song one skips the whole first minute and 2 others stop before the end of the song. how do i fix this/

    A few songs that I have purchased on Itunes have stopped working correctly. One skips the whole first minute and two others stop playing long before the end of the songs, how can I fix this without having to buy the song again?

    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.

  • IPod stops before song is over

    Hello, I purchased a new iPod Classic 160GB about 2-3 months ago. I had my old Classic for about 5 years;over the last year I had it the iPod began to stop playing certain songs about 1 minute before the end of the song. This new iPod has been doing it pretty much since I bought it. The song will just stop and the clock/time will appear on the screen with the battery life icon. This occurs very randomly;sometimes after 30 minutes of use,sometimes after 2-3 songs,sometimes not at all. Any idea or fixes I can try? Very disappointing from a brand new unit.
    Mary

    All of the songs were purchased from iTunes. The new unit is  stopping songs that were problematic on the old unit (songs that were purchased 2 years or more ago) and is now stopping on some more recently purchased songs.
    I just went back into iTunes and tried to play one of the involved songs on the laptop through iTunes. I rec'd the following message: "The song "xxxxxxxxx" could not be used because the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it?" This is the 1st time I've ever rec'd this message and I receive it when I try to play any song from any playlist. I clicked on "Locate" I was taken to the System 32 file. I originally had iTunes on a desk top computer and transferred it over to my new laptop approx 6-7 months ago. Did something go wrong with the transfer?

  • TS1717 All my music stops before the end of the tune; whether bought through Itunes library or if loaded from my own personal collection.  This has only happened when i changed computer.

    When my music ois playing whether on computer or on iphone, every tune quits before the end, losing as much as a minute sometimes.  i know the full song is there because i see the timer moving towards the end but jumps to the next song before it gets anywhere near the end.
    All my downloads onto iphone have now got the same problem.  How to resolve?
    My computer is not an apple, the operating system is windows 7.

    Hard to tell and remember whether it's happening just to pre-itunes plus music.  However, it's happening to many songs ripped from my personal CD collection.  With 10,000+ songs transferred from my own CD's I'm not high on re-ripping the entire collection.
    This seems to have happened in the past 6-12 months and can't help but wonder if one of the upgrades to iTunes somehow corrupted some file or meta data that is causing this effect.

  • AVI files stops before the end, Zen

    I recently bought a 6G Zen player and pretty happy about it. I updated the firmware weeks ago, everything is fine. I found proper softwares to convert FLV files to AVI. The final AVI file is fine, sound is synchronized, the whole file is there.
    My problem is that when I transfer the file to the Zen, or to an SD card, the video doesn't play until the end. It stops and the player returns to the video list menu. Sometimes 5 seconds before the end, sometimes 30 seconds, the time is not always the same. On the PC, the file was playing correctly.
    Anyone has an idea why ? Thanks for the help.

    You probably have end actions on the chapter points. Remove them the end actions from the chapter markers, and see if that fixes it.

  • Sending a Newsletter to 15,000 people - Problem: it stops before the end!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to send a Newsletter to 15,000 people. I already have a solution using JavaMail and Servlets/Beans/JSP but it's ending before the end of the process... Here is a summary of the Servlet performing the sending:
    // imports, etc.
    private static final String recoveryAddressString = "[email protected]";
    public void performTask(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
         java.sql.Connection connection = null;
         DatabaseConnection connBean = null;
    try {
    connection = ConnPool.getConnection();
    connBean = new DatabaseConnection(connection);
    connBean.setAutoCommit(false);
              java.util.Properties properties = System.getProperties();
    properties.put("mail.smtp.host", Const.SMTP_SERVER);
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null);
    // Calling several beans for making the Newsletter (date, articles, images, etc. = ...a lot)
         // Calling the bean "envoinewsletterdbbean" for getting the list of the 15.000 InternetAddresses, THEN:
    for(int i = 0; ; ){
    try {          
         String emailEnvoyeur = "[email protected]";
         String emailDestinataire = envoinewsletterdbbean.getEmail(i);                     
    MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);
    // From:
         InternetAddress inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur;
    try {
         inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur = new InternetAddress(emailEnvoyeur);
    } catch (AddressException ae) {
    // recovery address
    System.out.println("***erreur email de l'envoyeur");
    inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur = new InternetAddress(recoveryAddressString);
    mimemessage.setFrom(inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur);
    // To :                         
         InternetAddress inetAddrEmailDestinataire;
    try {
         inetAddrEmailDestinataire = new InternetAddress(emailDestinataire);
    } catch (AddressException ae) {
    // recovery address
    System.out.println("***Erreur adresse email du destinataire");
    inetAddrEmailDestinataire = new InternetAddress(recoveryAddressString);
    mimemessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, inetAddrEmailDestinataire);
    mimemessage.setSubject(titreNewsletter);
    String bodyText = "<html>";
    bodyText = bodyText + "<head>";
    //(... very long)
    //(getting the text of the articles, images from the beans...)
    mimemessage.setContent(bodyText, "text/html");
    try {
         javax.mail.Transport.send(mimemessage);
    } catch (Exception exception) {
         exception.printStackTrace();
         LogServiceTool.log("Exception lev\351e : " + exception, 1, getClass().toString());
         handleError(request, response, Const.pathWas_FO + Const.FO_error_page, exception);
    i++ ;
    } // exception at the end of theInternetAddress list...
    catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException _e0) {
    System.out.println("***fin de la liste des expediteurs... sortie de la boucle");
    break;
    } //etc. END
    MY PROBLEM IS: After something like 200 mails sent, I'm kinda logged out: "Response: no-url" in my JSP, because the operation is too long with my loop on the InternetAddresses, so far.
    Is there a solution, like an independent "batch process" to perform the sending outside the session? Or is there a means using folders or different connections... ?
    Thanks for your help...
    Denis

    One simple solution is to have the servlet start a new thread and allow the original one to respond to the client.
    A better way of doing this is to have a stand alone application send the messages out. You can have it run manually or on a scheduler.
    Don't use a jsp page as the trigger, and don't run the logic in the webserver, they were not designed to do these things in the way you want.

  • Songs stopping before the end... Help?

    Several of the songs on CDs I imported into iTunes stop playing in the middle for no apparent reason. Other songs on the imported CDs play the whole way through, and if I scan through the song, or past the point where the songs stop playing, the piece continues playing.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix it?
    Thank you!

    Delete these images directly from iTunes, and redownload them via iCloud at no cost.  See here for help and information on redownloading past music purchases.

  • Music stops before song is finished

    Help,
    On my itunes, I will be listening to music and before the song is supposed to be over it will just jump to the next song, Typically the song will have over a minute left and then just jump to next song in the playlist. I have hundreds of songs doing this and i do not know how to fix this.
    Running current version of Itunes
    Everything is up to date.
    Thank You,

    All of the songs were purchased from iTunes. The new unit is  stopping songs that were problematic on the old unit (songs that were purchased 2 years or more ago) and is now stopping on some more recently purchased songs.

  • Pandora goes to next song before song ends

    Upgraded to iOS 7, and now pandora never finishes a song before it begins another one. Never did this in iOS 6! iTunes Radio keeps stopping or tells me I don't have an internet connection when I do. I can restart and sometimes iTunes Radio sees the wifi connection but can't play songs for long. Beginning to wish I hadn't upgraded to iOS 7!

    No, but it didn't happen till I upgraded to iOS 7, so I'm not sure that pandora is at fault. Besides, iTunes is not much better,

  • Quiz stopping before the end

    Hi,
    I'm converting a quiz from Captivate 6 to 7 and using the Submit All button. The problem I'm having is that when the quiz gets near the end (at the second last question or so) it does one of two things:
    it keeps returning to the previous question when "Next" is clicked, even though it worked fine for all the other questions
    it doesn't do anything when "Next" is clicked
    In either case, the result is that I can never finish the quiz.
    I am using question pools and shuffling answers. The quiz works as expected in Captivate 6 but not when I use Captivate 7.

    Hi there,
    Is it possible for you to share the Cp6 project with us so that we can investigate the issue at our end? Please upload the .cptx file to a shared workspace (Acrobat.com) and send me the link to [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • I moved all of my music to my new computer and now my ipod touch stops the song at end of it why and how do i fix it easily

    i moved all of my music to my new computer and now the songs stop before the end of them or it skips to the next one on the ipod how can i fix it easily

    Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    See Make a split library portable for some background.
