Stops in the middle of a song .

My Itouch has a mind of its own. For some reason it stops in the middle of songs and goes to the next one. All these songs are purchased music from itunes and work perfect on my PC.
I have tried restoring it and removing all the music and resyncing it. It seems to move when it stops on a song if i remove the song and put it back on the itouch. And its not always the same song!
Help will be much appreciated!
Thanks.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

  • Random skipping, stops in the middle of a song...

    Hi
    I've had a good search and no one seems to have been able to solve this problem, or I might have just missed out but..
    I have a 2nd generation 10G iPod. I've had it for about a year and a bit (it's already been replaced)
    In the middle of a song, it'll stop... make a few funny sounds and then move on to another one after some time.
    I've restored it, and every time it'll just stop in different places...
    Any advice at all?
    Thanks in advance,

  • My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song, My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

    My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

    Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

  • Why does my ipod stop in the middle of a song?

    My brand new 5th gen ipod will stop playing. It does not matter if the hold button is on or not. This happens anywhere from all the time to after as many as 5 or ten songs. The display is still working properly. I have performed all of the five R's with no improvement. My software is updated to the latest version. Is this a crap unit or what?

    Did you get the music from somewhere besdies ITMS? If so, thats why.
    That's nonsense! You're saying his iPod locks up because he might be using songs that he didn't purchase from the iTunes Store?
    The iPod is not limited to playing only music that you buy from the iTS.
    You can get music from any number of sources... such as importing your own CD collection.
    There's also other online music retailers that you can purchase tracks from... and other websites that offer royalty free music downloads in MP3 format.

  • Ipod classic abruptly stops in the middle of a song or audio book

    This has officially reached pain in the butt status. Apple, would really like a solution. Thanks.

    It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
    I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
    Thanks for the help, King

  • My music stops in the middle of a song

    I just bought an album off iTunes and I was listening to it when all of a sudden it switches to the next song.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?! I love the songs that I just bought and if I cannot hear all of them I feel like I just waisted a ton of money because it is 6 of the 13 songs that skip! Please help me

    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.

  • Air Tunes went dead in the middle of a song

    My airtunes has been working fine for a long time, even after downloading itunes 7.
    For no apparent reason, the airtunes stopped in the middle of a song. Now when I try to connect it, it times out.
    My computer is able to find my wireless internet network but for some reason can now longer play music through it.
    I have done a soft reset. I have done all the things that have been listed here to do.
    Nothing works. Somebody please help before I throw out my powerbook.

    Have you played with any of the iTunes Preferences. Check out its Advanced tab, and maybe uncheck and check some menu items.
    Also, you might want to check with Airport Admin Utility. Play with the Music tab.

ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

    What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

  • Can anyone please tell me why when i put my music on shuffle it only plays a handful (that being 4 or 5)songs then stops even if its in the middle of a song, then wont let me play anything unless i exit Itunes completely and then re-open Itunes????

    Can anyone tell why my Itunes will only play 5 or 6 songs on shuffle then stop even in the middle of a song, and the only way to fix it is to exit Itunes completley and reopen it?????

    This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
    Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
    Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
    I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

  • IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song

    I've had the same iPod classic for seven years.  It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song.  I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again.  Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping.  The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops.  This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this?  I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything.  I always keep the battery fully charged.

    See if this helps ... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21623941#21623941

  • HT1339 I have an ipod classic.  I have approx. 2000 songs on it.  WHen I move the settings to shuffle all music, the music stops in the middle of the song and moves on to the next one.  It happens every other song or so.

    I have an Ipod classic 120gb.  I have approximately 2000 songs on it.  When I put it on shuffle to play it, it stops in the middle of songs and moves to the next.  This happens every other two songs or so.  Please help!

    Try playing the song again and if it does it in the same spot on both your ipod and itunes then you have a corrupted file. You need to re-download the song. Don't worry, this is free if you bought it on iTunes. First, verify that you did buy the song on iTunes and not anywhere else. Go to the iTunes store. On the right hand side of the window there is a column named quick links. Look for "Purchased" about 2/3 of the way down. Click on it. The next window that shows up should show you all the tunes you have bought. Find your tune and you'll see that is says "downloaded." Now you know you have the tune.
    Now go back to your music library on the left hand column of the window. Click on Music. Find that tune that is giving you the problem. Delete the song.
    Now go back to the iTunes store like before and go back to your "purchased" list. The page needs to be reloaded Press the back button and then click "purchased" again on iTunes so the list reloads. Find your tune again. Now instead of it saying "Downloaded," it has a picture of a cloud with an arrow pointing down. Click on it and the tune will download again with, I hope, no problems. I hope this helps.

  • Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

    Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

    Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

  • HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

What can I do?

    Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
