Videos cut off after a few seconds (MacBook Air)
In the last few days, I haven't been able to play videos on my original MBA: they start, but freeze after a few seconds. I've tried the usual housekeeping - rebooting, repairing permissions, PRAM - but no luck. Can't find any relevant advice by googling.
Any suggestions?
A separate but possibly related problem is that the sound icon is greyed out, and I can't get any sound.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Many thanks!
yes ive had this problem too on an imac 1.8 G5.
anyone???
help its completely annoying!

Every now and then (I think it is after I do a sync) my songs cut off after the first few seconds. I went back to itunes and check the song and now the song can't be found. Or, the song cuts of there also.............The songs played fine up until this point. This has happened several times in the past year.
To delete all music from the iPod go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
In iTunes on computer right click on select delete.

Garage Band/Guitar Help! My notes keep cutting off after a few seconds
So, I am having this problem where when I play my electric guitar, notes don't carry after a few seconds, especially if I try to bend the note. Cords seem to have sustain but whenever I play a solo string and try to bend or tremelo it, it cuts off within a second or two. When I say cuts off I mean the sound completely vanishes. Is there a fix for this? I tried the Squash Compressor but this failed.
Thanks and hope there is a fix as this is killing my jam.squashyo wrote:

Song on iPod cutting off after a few seconds
A particular song on my iPod keeps cutting off after just a few seconds. When I play the song in iTunes it plays just fine. I've tried deleting the song from my iPod and reloading it, but it still does the same thing. I have several hundred songs on my iPod and this is the only one I've had any trouble with ... please help!
Have you updated iTunes and iPod Updater??

Sound on videos cuts out after a few seconds?
Whenever trying to watch a video from a site on safari, Facebook (App), twitter (app) and instragram (app) the video plays sound for about a second then it cuts out. I have to restart the video or click the ringer off and on to hopefully get sound at the beginning ( which never happens). Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same issue here. I actually won't have any sound if the video starts while "vibrate" mode is on, then when I flick it to "sounds", it plays the audio for a second then fades away until I start the video again.

iPhone loses signal often with message no service , I have tried several times to reset it through iTunes and on the phone, still the same problem have phoned orange they say it's not a problem there end, I think maybe it's the phone ,when I do manage to get signal because it comes a goes I find I can't make calls or receive calls has any one else had this problem with iPhone 4 thanks john
Hi,
I purchased iphone4s in april 2012, people used to say why is your phone always switched off. when i visited apple store, they checked/disgnosed and told me that the signal is dropping and replaced the phone in july2012.
Recently, after march2013, i again visited the store and replaced the phone again.
now with the new peice, i am unable to get the calls, till recently i used to get calls for my job oppurtunities, but with the new replacement, i am unable to know, if it a problem with the phone or ishould move out of apple after all the embarasement for a year.
i have all the apple gadgets, but iphone4s really ***** my life.i have told them that i will pay the difference amount for iphone5, but the store guys says they cannot. with this problem, they now sold me a protection plan for 60 pounds.
I think, apple really ***** after steve jobs.if apple does not respond i am sure i will move to samsung 4 -
Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.
I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help. -
I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music 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.

my iphone wont turn on but when i plug it in to charge the apple logo comes on and turns back off after a few seconds i dont know what to do i need help
Hello warhogs17,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods. I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?
I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!! -
