Strange Problem: 25 seconds into track, skips to the end?

I'm having a weird problem where, 25 seconds into the track, iTunes skips to the end of the track, and my iPod just stops playing it (like I paused it without it being paused). What strikes me as really odd about it is that it's only one two tracks. I haven't found another one where it does the same thing. I downloaded the mp3s from eMusic, and they are both sequential songs in that album. I've tried re-downloading both of them, but that didn't work. I will also note that the files play just fine in Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic, leading me to believe it's an iTunes/iPod specific problem. Anyone have any idea?

Restore the iPod and reload the songs.

  • Music cuts off on three tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. how do i fix it?

    I downloaded an album and the music cuts off on three of the tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. can i fix it, if so how??, i would really like these tracks for when im running and its driving me nuts

    Hey Apollo10,
    That definitely sounds frustrating. If the songs are not playing fully in iTunes, they may need to be redownloaded. After you have redownloaded the songs, they should play fully and you can enjoy them when you go running. If not, please let me know.
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country

  • Itunes in iphone skips to the end of tracks

    It doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes when i select a track or podcast, it will just skip to the end of the song, then play the next thing. This seems to happen most when i search for songs in the iphone search page and also happens a lot with podcasts that i just select regularly. Its becoming very annoying because i have a lot of podcasts and if im not paying attention it will skip one but mark it as played. Anyone else having this problem or know what I can do about it?

    I have updated my iPhone to 4.3 since then the music player stop skipping/shuffling from one music to the next. The transition icon used to be on the 4.2.1 and now on 4.3 it disappeared. So my iPod now plays the same music forever which is annoying. I have to reshuffle the music manually every time I want to listen to different music. Apple seems to resolve one issue and introduce another one. I have tried to restore my iPHone to 4.2.1 but after several attempts, no joy at all. I am stuck with unwanted update 4.3 and I am deprived from enjoying my music.
    The update 4.3 has many faults including the effect on battery life. Another emerging issue is text and MMS interface. If I turn the MMS on and send simple text message, my currier charges me based on MMS tariff. If I disable the MMS, I can not receive or send MMS at all. This is another annoying issue with iPhone 4.3 update. Please Apple sort this mess out. Without Steve Jobs presence and running Apple, every one of us will stick with the useless iPhone 4.3 for sometime to come. No body is helping to sort the problem out at Apple at the moment. We need Steve Jobs back as soon as possible. I wish him well.

  • Problem with ipod, lagging, freezing, and also skipping to the end on video

    i've had my ipod for about 4 months now and i can't help to realize my fairly new ipod is slowing down on loading.
    when i first started, a white screen comes up and in the middle, it has an ipod and reads, "www.apple.com/support"
    main reason why i came to this place.
    thats fine to me, it works when i restart it.
    then, i press a few buttons, Music -> Artist -> and whatever i want to listen to, but you know how the pages are suppose to pass? my ipod suddenly lags up(slows down) and at the top it shows that im going to those pages, but the screen won't change, then after 30 seconds, the page is loaded.
    when i play a song, it tends to freeze a couple times and play again, i don't think this is such a big problem, because it only freezes for about 1 to 10 seconds at most.
    also since i have an ipod video, i like to put some funny videos on it. the video when i play it, it is frozen for a couple seconds and play, but plays all the way at the end, meaning that the video has been skipped to the end of it.
    these are my problems, anyone who has any idea what so ever what is wrong with my ipod then please reply.
    note!!
    i have tried restoring over and over again.
    i have dropped my ipod a few times, but not that far from the ground.

    Did you Reset it or Restore it in iTunes? And if the latter, it successfully completed the Restore?

  • HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

    This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked.  Any ideas?

    Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
    If still problem contact iTunes

  • I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song.  How do I download onto my Mac again?

    I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song.  Can I download this song again?  How? 

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Second audio track named as the first, on TV

    Hi to everyone,
    just finished an Encore project and BR disk plays good and fine.
    I've made two tracks (1 italian, 2 english).
    Everything works great as mentioned, but if I push the audio botton of the Blue-Ray player remote control, audio changes correctly, TV displays "1 italian" and "2 italian" and not "1 italian" and "2 english" as expected.
    Missed something in Encore or is it a BR player matter?
    Second audio track in Encore timeline is marked "en".
    Thanks
    Giorgio

    Here is a new,
    just finished a DVD project with italian, english and czech (cs) audio track.
    Well, it works fine, everything is displayed in the right way, czech track also.
    So I tried to modify audio track hierarchy, putting italian as first, then english and czech as third with another empty french track as fourth.
    Everything works OK.
    So I'm in front of a "crossroad":
    - or there is a problem in Blue-Ray (mpeg2) track identification process
    - or I have something corrupted in my project, in this way I have to re-build the entire project
    Let know in this thread...........LATER!!!!!!
    Ciao

  • Few seconds into a skype call the tv reboots

    I have a SONY Bravia Internet TV where when I use SKYPE I am into a call and few seconds later the tv rboots and starts all over again. Am not able to figure out why. When doing a test with Skype Testing center it works alright. Please help.

    Appreciate any thoughts, or assistance.

    I seem to have cured the problem by going into the history tab of the TV's Skype app and deleting every single entry. Unfortunately I have not discovered any way to delete all history entries in one go, nor to stop the app recording future history events, so now I just delete the events after every few calls. Since I did this, my Skype calls have worked fine. Hope this helps.
    A belated thanks for your suggestion as it fixes the problem. I notice it does reoccur if there is an unread message, but deleting that entry fixes the problem again. 
    Thanks very much.

  • In Photoshop CC timeline, when I add an audio track photoshop CC either quits working or it skips to the end of the video clip.  If I just put in audio it works fine.  If I just put in clips or pics it works fine, but now when audio is added

    When I try to use the timeline portion of photoshop, I can't get the audio to work with my clips.  I can get audio to work fine when using just audio, but the minute I try to add audio to a set of clips either photoshop quits working or it skips to the last clip in my show.  I don't understand why this happens.  I am using the same track each time.  Very frustrating.

    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.

  • Tracks skipping within the track in iTunes 11.1.5, Windows 7

    I am currently having trouble with the tracks in my iTunes library skipping within the track as it streams, is there something I can do to resolve this?
    Initially I thought it was just the songs that I bought through iTunes that were having issues but it seems to be any of the songs I listen to that is having this issue. Even if it is something I tried to reimport from CD. I have only been having this issue over the last two to three weeks.
    I have Windows 7 HP and iTunes 11.1.5.
    If this has been discussed before my apologies.

    Hi The Frazzled Shinigami,

  • Ipod randomly skipping to the end of songs

    when playing certain songs on my ipod (5th gen 60gb), the song will play fine until there are about 45 seconds left, at which point the ipod will skip until there is one second left, and freeze for about a minute. this problem does not occur when playing the songs in itunes.
    the problem seems to only happen with songs I have ripped using itunes lame, but this does not happen with all songs I have ripped using that software. this problem is very annoying and is keeping me from listening to many songs on my ipod.
    thanks in advance for any help/advice.

    i'm having the same problem of skipping songs. Minehappens on the gen5 60 gig player only when I want to use a playlist. Mine just seem sto not like my song selection and just skipps a multitude of songs until it find one it likes and starts there. In one list it just goes to the ninth song plays it through and then goes to 12, 14 etc. Should anyone come up with a cause or solution it would be great. I have reset the player three times and that goes not do the trick, even for a minute.

    Subject:      How to set the number of rows per page dynamically in a report
         Doc ID:      Note:122714.1      Type:      SCRIPT
         Last Revision Date:      07-NOV-2000      Status:      PUBLISHED
    PURPOSE
    This article shows how to set the number of rows per page dynamically according
    to the user parameter specified.
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Follow these steps:
    1. In the Object Navigator under Data Model-->User Parameters, create an user
    parameter P_1 -- this parameter specifies the number of rows you want to
    print per page
    datatype: number.
    2. In the Data Model Editor, create the query and the layout according to your
    requirements.
    Let's assume that we have the following:
    Q_1: Select empno, deptno ename from emp
    order by deptno, ename
    G_1 has the columns empno, deptno, ename
    3. In the Data Model Editor, create the following summary columns:
    CS_numrow will be numbering the rows within the detail group
    (created within G_1).
    Set the following parameters:
    Name: CS_numrow
    Function: count
    Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
    Reset at: Report
    CS_total_rows will calculate the total of rows retrieved
    (created at the report level)
    Set the following parameters:
    Name: CS_total_rows
    Function: count
    Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
    Reset at: Report
    4. In the Layout Model Editor, create a Group Frame M_1 within the repeating
    frame, below the fields empno, deptno, and ename. You may have to stretch
    the existing frames to be able to fit this in.
    F_enmpno F_deptno F_ename
    --------------------------------------------- <<<< create the group
    frame here
    5. Set the properties for the Group Frame M_1 as follows:
    Print condition: First
    Object: Enclosing Object
    Sizing:
    Vertical: variable
    Horizontal: fixed
    Check the box "Page Break before".
    6. Create a Format trigger for this frame M_1 as follows:
    function M_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
    /* prints until a row number is product of P_1 */
    /* if row number is 5 and P_1 = 5, MOD is 0 */
    /* then it prints the frame, doing a page break */
    begin
    if :CS_total_rows <> :CS_numrow then -- avoiding blank page at the end
    if mod(:CS_numrow,:P_1) = 0 then
    return (TRUE);
    else
    return(false);
    end if;
    else
    return (false);
    end if;
    end;
    NOTE: This assumes that the report is tabular. If you have a break group, this
    logic can be applied for the detail group.

  • I just updated and downloaded the new version of iTunes. I then downloaded some music and now the music won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes. The tracks play for a few seconds and then skip to the next track

    I just downloaded and updated the newest version of iTunes. After updating I downloaded some new music and synced the iPod. The music doesn't play. It'll play about 30 seconds of the song and then skip automatically to the next song. I restarted the iPod. I restored it. It still didn't work. Then I tried listening to the music from my laptop straight from iTunes...and it's still doing it.
    How do I fix it?

    I'm assuming the tracks that won't play copy/are displayed with exclamation marks. This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Facing Strange Problem in DIR HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR? (through parent script/ movie?)

    Summary : HARD QUESTION : In the DIR file, the game runs well, right click = no effect. Coz I'm not making right click scripts. BUT in EXE file, right click = ERROR.
    Explanation :
    In the Adobe Director screen, this DIR file game is worked 100%.
    I tested right click EVERYWHERE... NOTHING HAPPENS.
    Because I don't make any programming with "on rightmouseup" or "on rightmousedown" command.
    THEN, I published it into EXE...
    I tested right click EVERYWHERE...I hoped the result will be the same as DIR tests....
    WHEN I RIGHT CLICK IN THE AREA THAT'S GIVEN ON EXITFRAME ME, IT SHOWS ERROR, CHANGING PICTURES.....
    this does not happened in the DIR file...
    I didn't make a runmode program or anything else.... This is awkward... mystery for me...
    WHY THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN DIR and EXE... it should be exactly the same result.
    I have used Director for years.... This is really strange for me...
    >>>>>>>>HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR?
    THIS ONE is useless.... It doesn't prevent the rightmouse click,...
          on rightmouseup me
                 nothing
         end
          on rightmousedown me
                 nothing
         end

    Dear Adobe Forums friends
    I need your help and guide through this problem...
    In the game's dir file that is run on the DIRECTOR softwawre,
    the game runs perfectly, I can do LEFT CLICKS (coz I programmed the script)
    and when I do RIGHT CLICKS = there are no effect ( coz I don't do script for it)
    LATER THIS GAME TURNED INTO EXE.
    It supposed to run like the dir file as ABOVE. BUT STRANGELY, WHEN
    I DO RIGHT CLICKS, it turns Error and showing as the picture attachment.
    The right clicks that goes error are above the picture of numeric button only. (in DIR file
    this run normal). I looked into the script behind the numeric button picture, there are only "on exitframe me", there are no script I made inside the "on exitframe me" that is triggering RIGHT CLICKS.
    1. I wonder why there are differences in DIR and EXE effect
    2. Why right click? Left click effects are all normal.
    3. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE ALL RIGHT CLICKs since the beginning of EXE. So the game will be run normal. I don't need right clicks anyway, but whenever people do right click there will be ERROR.??
    4. Is there any way to STOP THE MESSSAGE BOX TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE GAME? (I hate the Dirrector Error Message Box), or auto press OK.
    NB: this game uses Buddy API Xtras, File IO Xtras.
    Thx
    David S

  • Why does the movie I bought off of iTunes stop every 5 seconds and then skip through the scenes it missed? ( I am playing the movie on an HP Compac )

    Once the movie stops, the audio stops, but then after 5 seconds or so it will speed up to try to catch up with the rest of the movie.   I bought the movie in HD for 14.99 and if it keeps acting up like this I am afraid it's going to crash my computer.  Please, this is so frustrating

    You are more lucky than me, mine will go about 8 seconds...audio stops but the song is still playing. I have to quit iTunes and occasionally I can get it to work normal for a while. Shuffle is broke, help is broke, iTunes needs a MAJOR update and QUICK!. I can't live without me musics.
