TS1424 what to do if songs stop short

Two of the songs I just purchased stopped after 40-50 seconds. I "reported the problem" over a week ago but have not heard any response from ITunes. If I download it again from my purchased history, will I get that bad cut again? I've never had this happen before so I'm not sure what I need to do.

If I download it again from my purchased history, will I get that bad cut again?
Usually not. If you do, try deleting the two tracks again, and redownloading with simultaneous downloads disabled.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.

TS1424 I bought a Chris Tomlin CD and when I play it each song stops short of the full song, now what do I do?

Delete the songs from your iTunes library and redownload them by clicking "Purchased", under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
If this doesn't work contact iTunes support here:

After transferring all songs to new MBP, songs stop short in iTunes

I have a strange situation here. I bought my wife a new MBP 13" recently and started having a problem with song playback in iTunes. I copied all the songs in her iTunes library from her old MacBook to the new MBP. (The new MBP is running Lion 10.7.2, btw). All the artists and songs show up in iTunes on the new Mac. That's good.
However, on the new MBP in iTunes (v10.5.2), many songs will play and then the audio will stop short of the end of the track. For example, using one song as a test, I picked a track that is 4:19 long. iTunes will play about 4 minutes, then the audio will end abrubtly with about :30 left. This doesn't happen on her old MacBook, running the same version of iTunes, and playing the same track.
Both versions of iTunes indicate the track duration is 4:19. I've tested the same song on both Macs to confirm this ONLY happens on her new MBP. And when she transferred the test song to her iPod Touch, the song also ends abruptly before its 4:19 length.
I've now copied her library from her old Mac to the new one a 2nd time, and still get the same issue. Any ideas peeps?

I'm having this issue also, it's really annoying. I delete and download from "purchases" in the store but then another will pop up.. does it on my phone and shuffles as well as in Itunes. I talked to apple and they gave me a 5 song credit but no way to fix the problem. Going to have to hit them again.
I thought I migh have had a virus or a hacker somewhere so I erased my drive(s) and my phone and started from scratch, not even from a back up and re installed everything fresh.. still happening so it's definitly Itunes.

HT201272 If I'm not happy with my download (i.e.. my song stops short of its 4:51 duration by about 23 seconds), can I download it again to see if this corrects the problem?

Can I delete my song purchase and try downloading it again to correct a problem with the song ending prematurely?

Hey,
Thanks for the replies.
Shining:
The "greedy" mode did make firefox move much faster. Thank you.
Regarding the "bloated" feeling:
I did all sort of tweaking to my system, but it still feels not as I expected.
I expected a different feeling because I have a desktop running Arch,
and everything there is a lot more responsive: I don't have to wait 5-7 seconds for firefox (or open office) to launch,
it takes 1-2 seconds. As I mentioned, the glxgears fps is much higher there. Even hard disk performance is a lot better (I am adding hdparm testing,
please tell me if you see anything special, maybe thats the main problem).
And I am talking about a 5 years old desktop, in comparison to a 6 months old laptop!
Every extra tip you can give about accelerating my machine will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
fiod

TS1424 My recent downloads was not complete, song & videos stopped short of end of song or video. How do I get the entire recording without purchasing them again?

you will probably need to recreate your itunes library to get the complete song. view the article on how at apple.com/support and search for HT1451

What is causing, and how do you fix, a song stopping during playback? I have latest iTunes 12.0.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1

It stops then after several seconds (like 25 secs) then it starts again ... and then several seconds later it stops again!
I have the latest software so I don't know what to do?

I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my songs were stopping short of finishing.

I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my albums songs were stopping short of finishing. They just stop and go to the next song. Any solutions?

I have experienced the same problem on my my iPad1, my former iPhone 4 my laptop and even my new iPhone5 though I had really hoped that the new phone and IOS would solve the problem. About 5% of the songs are affected and the stoppage can range from seconds short to a minute and a half. The file shows more of the music left, but it stops playing and goes to the next song. Very aggravating. Appears to happen on purchased and uploaded music.
Any help 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.

Audio playback stops short

Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?

Brian,
The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
See if that's it...

In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

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

What exactly are Upcoming Songs & how does iTunes determine them?

I've never really bothered with Party Shuffle before but it always bugged me when it gave the message about Upcoming Songs. I mean, what is an upcoming song? How does iTunes decide it's upcoming?
Regards,
spriter

Upcoming Songs are tracks in Party Shuffle that have not yet been played. You can set how many upcoming songs are visible, but this setting does not determine how many upcoming songs there are.
Party Shuffle is like selecting Shuffle for the Library or any playlist except that you can alter the results. You can add or delete tracks and you can manually reorder the upcoming tracks in Party Shuffle. You can also tell Party Shuffle to play higher rated songs more often.
Regular shuffle stops once every track in the playlist has been played, but Party Shuffle will continue playing, adding repeat tracks when needed.

Check you haven't been infected by a Botnet:
Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.

In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

Layer loop stops short?

#target illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var allLayers = doc.layers;
for (var i = 0; i < allLayers.length; i++) {
    allLayers[i].locked = false;
    if (allLayers[i].name == "Hypertext" || allLayers[i].name == "Taps") {
        alert("I found the " + allLayers[i].name + " layer")
    } else {
        //alert("Not the right layer")
        allLayers[i].remove();
Can anyone tell me why my loop is stopping short?
I am trying to delete ALL of the layers in the active document that are NOT named Hypertext or Taps.
There are 28 layers in my document (including the 2 specific layers I want to keep).
After I run the script that I wrote (see above script) it does in fact keep my two desired layers but it also doesn't delete all the other layers. I am left with 12 layers that need to be deleted still.
Anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Windows 7 64bit, CS4, JavaScript

Thanks Larry! That worked out perfect. One small edit to your code was I had to change
(var i = allLayers.length-1; i => 0; i--)
to
(var i = allLayers.length-1; i >= 0; i--)
Final code....
#target illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var allLayers = doc.layers;
for (var i = allLayers.length-1; i>=0; i--){
    allLayers[i].locked = false;
    if (allLayers[i].name == "Hypertext" || allLayers[i].name == "Taps") {
        //alert("I found the " + allLayers[i].name + " layer")
    } else {
        //alert("Not the right layer")
        allLayers[i].remove();
Thanks again Larry!

Set preferences so a song STOPS at end

1) how do I set preferences so a song STOPS at end ,and doesnt go to next song
Make a playlist containing only that song. Play it. There's a nice option to make quick playlists in the menu, it's called "New Playlist from Selection".
2)whats best quality settinh to convert,import from Windoze Media files, ie whixh encoder to chose?
The AAC Encoder in iTunes is easily the best of the lossy formats. The bitrate is your choice. I like 160.
