TS1362 On one purchased album some songs stop half way through.

Are these files corrupted? If so can I re-download working files?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again using the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • Some songs end half way through

    I have an 80 GB iPod. I bought it new and originally formatted it for Windows and connected it to iTunes in Windows. I later bought a Mac, reformatted the iPod for Mac and had iTunes copy all my song files to it again. Most of my music collection are MP3 files that I personally ripped from CDs, using a few different programs and encoders.
    The problem I am going to describe has occurred on the iPod under both formats, and over multiple iTunes updates.
    There are some songs on my iPod that it will not play to the end. What happens is that about half way through the song, the song stops, and the screen indicates the song is paused with two (2) seconds remaining. It ALWAYS says two seconds remaining, regardless of how much time was actually left in the song. I can use the next song button to get to the next song, although it takes a few seconds longer than normal for the iPod to start playing again.
    There are only a handful of songs I've identified so far that this happens with. For any song that this happens with, it ALWAYS happens; in other words, it's not that the song sometimes plays through and sometimes doesn't; if it happens at all, it always happens.
    The particular songs that I've identified so far play fine in iTunes on the Mac. Back when I used Windows, I noted that the problem songs from the iPod would play fine in Windows iTunes or in other Windows media players.
    So far, I have only thought of two solutions to this problem. The first was to uncheck the song and sync the iPod so as to remove the song from the iPod, then recheck it and sync again, so as to recopy the song to the iPod. This did not help. I even tried unchecking, syncing, checking some other songs and syncing, then rechecking the problem song and syncing again, so as to ensure that the song file got copied to a different physical area on the iPod's hard drive, but to no avail; the song still would not finish.
    My second solution was to re-rip the song from the CD, replace the file in the iTunes library, and resync the song to the iPod. This worked. So of course it seems that I should just do this, but it's inconvenient for several reasons. One is that I have a lot of my CDs stored away, or no longer have access to many CDs I've ripped from because they belonged to friends or family members. Also, this is really just brute-forcing the problem; it isn't really fixing anything.
    Has anyone ever had a similar problem, and if so, did you come up with any other fixes or do you have any other suggestions?

    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.
    Cheers,

  • Itunes purchased song stops half way through

    I recently transfered my itunes library to a new Macbook 13 inch. It was tricky to do because my library was on an external hard drive. I did have to redownload some, but not all of my purchased content. Now many of my itunes purchased songs are clipped midway through the song when played. This is only happening to songs that I purchased in itunes. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?  Thanks!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.

  • I upgraded iTunes to version 11.0.5 but now it does not sync my songs properly.  Some songs are synced entirely, but other songs stop half way through.

    I upgraded my iTunes software to version 11.0.5 but now it won't sync my songs properly, either on my iPod classic or on my new iPhone 4s.  The problem seems to happen with random songs: some songs will play through to the end, but other songs cut off part way through the song.  At first I thought my iPod was defective, but then it happened on my new iPhone 4s.  On my phone, I can see that the song is still playing, but the sound cuts off.  Can anyone tell me how to fix this?  Thank you.

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • TS1362 Problem with songs stopping half way through

    recently, some songs in my itunes library have been cutting off before they reach the end. It doesn't affect all songs and happens to both songs I have bought from the iTunes store and those I have ripped from CDs. Any ideas on how to fix this? \i am running a PC with Windows7.

    Um, no. Contact iTS support:

  • Songs stopping half way through

    I transferred all songs from old computer to a new one. My ipod video synced fine with the new computer. Our ipod mini synced also but a lot of songs will stop after about one minute of playing. It's mostly songs that we burned from cd's into itunes. Any ideas?? I have reset and restored several times and it hasn't solved the problem.

    Um, no. Contact iTS support:

  • Songs stopping half way through and jumping to the next song

    This has only just started happening on an album I purchased a couple of weeks ago (but only just got around to listening to it). Has anyone else had the problem or at least know how to fix it??

  • Major problem: Songs stopping half way through and skipping to next song.

    At first I thought it was an iphone problem, but then I noticed it was doing it on my 5th gen ipod. Ive also narrowed it down to only songs bought on itunes. Anyone have a solution?

    I have the same problem with a handful of my recent (mp3) downloads from Emusic. It happens at the same spot in both ITunes and on my IPod (Generation 5). However, the files work flawlessly in Windows Media Player or even on my car stereo reading the mp3 from a burned CDRom.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why do some of the songs I purchased from itunes cut out half way through?

    I've purchased a lot of music through itunes, and as I've been playing it, I've noticed that several of the songs stop half way through and just play silence for the last minute or two. This is very frustrating as I have spent hundreds of dollars buying music through iTunes. This occurs on all of my devices, iPhone 4, MacBook and iPad 2.

    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.

    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.

  • Track purchased from iTunes stops half way through & Jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod

    Purchased album from iTunes. One track stops half way through & jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod.

  • Songs and Videos Stopping Half Way Through

    I've had my Iphone for 8 months and last week it broke i sent it to apple and they gave me a brand new iphone.
    I syned it up and my songs and videos stop half way through and start the next song..
    It did that on my old iphone also..
    It's very annoying.
    Same with sometimes glitchy music videos that i've bought through itunes so I know it isnt codec related..

    Welcome to the forums.
    You can fix the songs by simply converting to AAC -- I promise you this will work.
    Videos could indeed be a coding issue -- the iPhone is pretty particular about what it will play and unless you encoded them yourself (using a quality program like Handbrake with the iPhone preset) your best bet is to reencode them.

  • HT201272 songs quit half way through playing and next song begins

    I just downloaded an album and each song quits half-way through and the next song begins  playing on pc computer

    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 those 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.

  • My ipod stops half way through step 1 when I am syncing

    I[od touch stops half way through step q which i backing up

    I would try moving the existing backup to a safe place since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem.  The backup file is located hre:
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7).
