TV shows cut out part way through...

I purchased TV shows...loaded them into my 80g IPOD...they play for about 8-10 minutes, then boot me out to the main menu. I also have a similar problem with music, where I select a song to play...the song comes up on the screen for about 5-10 seconds (without starting to play) then it goes back to the main menu. I haven't tried buying/playing any movies yet...but I have to imagine it would be the same. It doesn't always happen, but often enough that I'd say it's a frequent problem. The only way I have figured to temporarily "fix" it...is to reset the ipod by holding down the "menu" part of the wheel and the center button at the same time until the little apple appears. Then I can go back into the same TV show/song and it works fine. VERY frustrating & time consuming though! Any ideas/help?

What version of firmware does your iPod currently have?

    A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
    I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and  loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

  • Songs cutting out half way through

    I recently bought the album Light it Up by Rev Theory on itunes, while playing it I have noticed that a bunch of the songs towards the end of the album cut out half way through and move on to the next song, is there a fix?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library then use the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page to download fresh copies of the tracks.
    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.

  • Sound Cuts Out Half Way Through Clip

    I'm importing an AVI file into iMovie HD to edit it. There is nothing wrong with the file itself, there's sound the whole way through, but when I import it into iMovie the sound cuts out at a certain part. I've tried uploading it multiple times and every time the sound cuts out at the same part of the clip. I can't figure out what's wrong.

    Welcome to the discussions.
    AVI isn't a format. AVI is a container, just like MOV. These containers can contain video in any format (=codec) of the hundreds available. Which codec is YOUR video encoded with?

  • When i publish the movie to youtube, the sound gets cut out half way through.  help?

    I'm trying to publish a short movie to youtube.  It plays fine in the editing screen, but when I publish it, half way through, the sound cuts out on the video.  There's still some background music that's playing, but the voices get cut out.  I've tried republishing it in a different size and the sound cuts out at the exact same place.  Any suggestions? 

    You can contact support and have them troubleshoot the songs for you.

  • Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

    I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
    I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
    Thanks.
    Cheers

    I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
    Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).

  • HT1040 I cannot upload my iphoto book to the apple store for printing, it cuts out half way through the download.  What can I do?

    I have made a photo book which is ready now to send to the apple store for printing but half way through the download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send.  I have printed many books from my computer through Iphoto and have never had this problem before.  What could be the problem?  I have checked for updates and installed all of them.  Turned my computer off and then on again.  But still keeps doing this.  Help ?

    Apple's servers are very busy today, right after the big WWDC conference and the announcement of new products.
    download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send
    The reason for this may be that the book contains photos that cannot be rendered. Have you checked the preview of your book? Does the pdf look correct?
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
    If that is not the problem, check your network and your security settings. If you are using a Firewall or Antivirus filter, disable it temporarily.

  • I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

    I have just been watching (The  Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

    Hi David.
    This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
    It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.

  • Older itunes purchases cutting out half way through

    I've been noticing for some time (this is not my first attempt to get an answer) that my older itunes purchases cut out about half way through when played on my ipod (but not when played on my PC) I've tried to find an answer on Apple forums before but it seems to be one of those questions that never gets a good answer. I'm beginning to wonder if it is Apple's way of getting us to buy our music all over again, but they wouldn't be that cynical would they. Anyway, since I'm increasingly unwilling to trust Apple to look after my music I'm going back to CDs whenever possible. I don't always want to buy an entire album, so does anyone have a real remedy for this problem?

    Hello Jo Tampoco,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have some purchased music that plays as expected in your iTunes library on your computer but does not on your iPod touch. Any purchases made in the iTunes Store can be downloaded again at no charge as long as the item(s) are still available for purchase so you will not be asked to repurchase these items. 
    For troubleshooting, depending on how your music is being moved to your iPod, there are some steps I would suggest. If you are syncing the music from your computer to your iPod and the music on the iPod is not playing completely, I would suggest trying to download that music directly from your purchases to your iPod. To do this, please use the instructions in the first article below. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    If you have been downloading the purchases directly to the iPod and the music is not playing completely, I would suggest syncing the music from your iTunes library and testing to see if it will play as expected once it is on the iPod. 
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • 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.

  • Picture washes out part way through the picture

    I am using an Hp c310.  The picture that I printed started fine about 1/4 of the way through the print the color began to wash out.

    This could be caused by your ink running out or by a clogged vent in the ink supplies.  Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.

  • Some tracks cut out half way through playing

    I have a 20GB 4G iPod with a black & white display which I got in December 2004.
    Recently, some of the tracks on my iPod have been cutting out during playback and the iPod moves onto the next track in the play list.
    I store my music on my Windows XP SP2 computer and I sync my iPod with this computer. All of the tracks playback correctly on the computer, so why aren't they playing correctly on the iPod and how can I fix the problem?
    Many thanks for any help.

    I have a similar setup and have had the same problems. I've noticed that since I update iTunes to 5.0.1.4. About 15 songs (out of 3200) will reload onto my iPod each time I connect. When this happens the length of the song (time) changes to some random number, either shorter or longer. If it is longer the iPod basically plays to the end of the song and then skips to the next one (doesn't play the "extra" time), but if it is shorter, the song cuts off in the middle.
    This is an annoying bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated!...

  • Itunes purchased music cuts out half way through a song.

    Hello. I recently purchased two albums off the Itunes store and found that in some tracks the music completely "cuts-out". About 30 seconds of the song plays, then the rest of the track is silent. It happens on both Itunes and on my Ipod. I haven't a clue what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It worked, Thanks!

    I am trying to watch a tv show that was purchased but part way through the show it pauses and it will not allow me to continue playing the show.

    That is correct.
