Excessive static when playing songs on itune

When playing anything on Itunes whether it is a cd or imported music I got a lot of static. I also hear it if I play a cd, but not on other media such as You Tube.

Are you talking about your earphones when you say "input my speakers"? If so, have you tried testing another pair of earphones to make sure the problem is not the earphones? Do the songs play fine when you play them without the earphones (using the iPhone speaker at the bottom of your phone)? Is the problem with every song you play? If you rule out everything else but the iPhone as being the issue then you may want to visit an Apple store (if available) or a VZW store so they can check the device. You might also want to try taking your music off of the iPhone and then re-syncing them back to the phone to see if that does anything. I would guess that the problem is with the earphones or whatever speakers you may be plugging in. Also...this may seem like an obvious thing but check to make sure that the cable is inserted fully into the iPhone.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

When playing songs in itunes, songs will freeze or delay. How do I stop this?

My itunes has been doing this for months. I must admit that I do not believe my computer is that great(old), but, still, when playing music in iTunes, the timer or play clock will stop. The song will keep playing but the clock will stop moving for either 4 or 7 seconds. When this happens, everything freezes. Thus, you can't adjust volume, select another song, make a playlist, etc. Recently, I created a new user on my computer and installed iTunes under that name. The problem there is that there is no visible music library. My library only appears in "recently added." So, that is very concerning as well. I believe the music is delaying there, also. But it causes alarm if I were to reinstall on my main user and I couldn't see my library. I have a lot of music.
Please advise if anyone has a good solution.
Thanks,
Annette

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

b noir,
I also have had this same issue. In reading your reply, I've also saved my CD diagnostics....they are included below. I'm fairly convinced that my problem lies in the drive. It is causing WM Player to lockup as well. Please help....thanks.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

Wont play songs on ITunes

I cant play songs on Itunes because it says File cant be found and a lot of the songs like this have a ! next to them. Can anyone help?

I'm not quite sure why you think you need to listen to a song in order to change the wrong info.
You should just be able to right click on any song and select "get info" then click on "info" and then change the tag information.
What happens when you try to play the song in iTunes?

I cannot see the details of the playing song on iTunes Radio.

I cannot see the details of the playing song on iTunes Radio on my iOS Devices. On pc and mac it's fine but on all my iOS devices, the album artwork, title and artist info is missing; however, the song plays. I can see the songs i played on my iPad when i open up iTunes on my pc. I restarted the device, logged out and in several times with my apple id, nothing changes.

Hi, I have this problem too. I've uploaded photos of my granddaughter to iCloud Drive on my 5 year old PC and can see the content on my PC at iCloud .com - though the system does not allow me to see minimised photos, just lots of numbered, blue rectangle icons. I spent over 2.5 hours with Apple Support yesterday and they could NOT resolve the issue in any straightforward manner, though did suggest I go through the same time consuming uploading process placing the same photos in the Beta version of 'Photos' available at iCloud.com. What a cumbersome system. Why hasn't Apple offered an iCloud Drive app (free of charge) so that once content has been placed in iCloud Drive it can Bev retrieved on any iOS device, as Apple suggest. Here is what they say at Apple.com (see also the illustrations they offer for iCloud Drive on an iPad - I was informed yesterday, by two advisors, that they couldn't find way to locate the suggested pages either?)
Storing ﬁles in iCloud is simple. Just as it should be.
To upload your files to iCloud, simply drag them into the iCloud Drive on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or PC running Windows 7 or later. Or start a new document using an iCloud-enabled app on your iOS device. Then you’ll be able to access those documents from all your devices.

Suddenly,all my audio is not working. I can play songs from itunes but app audio is gone. What can I do/

I'm not sure what is happening. Suddenly all the audio is missing! I dont have ringtone when I get a call, or for an alarm. I can only play songes from itunes. All the sounds from apps and games are gone too. I have tried a restart, and i guess the next step is a reset. What else can I do?

Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips.

The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
