24" iMac Speaker Pop listening to iTunes

I have noticed this about 5-6 times since owning my iMac (3 months), and it just happened again.
While listening to music with iTunes 7 (with my regular internal speakers) i will all of a sudden hear a loud pop sound (much louder than my music) and sound will cut out for about 5-10 seconds, and then automatically resume...all the while iTunes continues to play the track.
It sounds like a speaker blows every time. Does anyone know why this happens?

Last idea from me would be try different settings for your Equalizer maybe lower Preamp!
Do you have a set of headphones or externals to test with? If the sound is ok from external jack then issue is with internal speakers, speaker connection, external headphone jack or part of audio system. Intermittant electrical issues are some of the hardest to troubleshoot, because they can come and go for some time befor they completely fail. Because you said, "been having this issue since i got the machine" and have sence then upgraded software it does seem to be a hardware issue.

    how do sync a book that I have added as music to itunes on my iMac and then listen to this book on my iPhone.  Itunes says the icloud status is waiting so the song(book) is in the process of being matched but has not yet been processed.  (no help there)

    Hi,
    Why are you trying to add a book as music? It will not match as this only applies to music files. It will be uploaded if the bit rate is 96 Kbps or greater.
    You should change media type to audiobook and you will be able to sync by wifi or USB.

  • Speaker popping with iTunes

    When I play music I've ripped to my hard drive through iTunes, I am getting intermittent speaker popping that sounds much like the wires aren't shielded or plugged in properly. I know the speakers aren't to blame, because everything else on my computer sounds right, as does my TV, which passes through them.
    I've done a few tests and discovered the following:
    - If I play a CD through iTunes, I get no popping.
    - If I play the same music on my iPod, no popping there either.
    Any help? Thanks for your time.

  • Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

    Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo?  I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo.  My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once.  I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport.  Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

    You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
    I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
    Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
    Enable AirPlay (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

  • Plugging firewire external hdd to mac to get library to pop up in itunes?

    hiya, i was wondering if there's any way to have a firewire external hdd to mac to get library to pop up in itunes as a seperate entity? because I want to centralise all my music to the external hdd, or will it do it all on it's own? (haven't tried it yet, just copying now as we speak) :d

    If I understand correctly, you want to move all your music to an external HD.
    Before continuing copying, read this article:
    iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
    Your music files can be stored anywhere, but the library files have to be in a fixed place and can not be moved:

  • Can you listen to iTunes on two computers at the same time?

    If I've got iTunes playing on one computer, is it possible to listen on another computer on the same network what's playing on the first computer? I've often got two computers on the go over two floors and it would be smart if they were playing the same music at the same time. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Andy, if you want to listen through remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express you can choose the remote speakers (or computer) from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window
    However, to the best of my knowledge you can only listen to iTunes through one set of speakers at a time.

  • IMac + Airport extreme + airport express + iTunes = no music?

    I bought an iMac in February with Airport Extreme. Wireless internet & wireless printing have been fine with this.
    At the weekend I bought Airport Express so I could wirelessly play my iTunes through my stereo; I have connected my Express to my MD socket using a digital-optical to mini-toslink cable, but I get no sound from the stereo.
    The Express & Extreme set-up & configured in the straightforward manner as you'd expect, so I don't think that's the source of my problems.
    I'm not a computer-whizz, but nor am I a complete div, but I'm sure it's a really straightforward fix I've overlooked.
    Please help?

    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) settings ...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • How to listen to iTunes through two separate stereo systems simultaneouly?

    I was thinking of buying two Airport Express units in order to run iTunes to two seperate stereo systems in two different rooms. Can this be done, or is there a better way to accomplish this?
    thanks for any help!

    iMac G4, 800 Mhz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Pjo,
    Yes, you can listen to iTunes through two separate stereo systems simultaneously. The current version of iTunes allows you to stream your music to multiple Airport Express units. At the bottom of iTunes, where the different Airport Express units' names are listed, there is a "Multiple Speakers..." option; select this to choose from one or more of your units.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

    How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
    I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

    Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
    Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

  • Unable to listen to itunes on my computer after using AppleTV

    Since using homesharing today and listening to itunes on the AppleTV I have not been able to listen to music on my computer. Every time is selct a song to play it says "connecting to AppleTV" and no sounds comes out my computer.
    I turned off homesharing on the AppleTV.
    I turned off homesharing on the computer.
    I put the AppleTV into 'sleep mode'.
    I rebooted my computer.
    NOTHING HAS WORKED. How has AppleTV taken over control of my system and not letting go?
    My media, on my hard drive, my iTunes, my speakers and stil connot play anything. What's up?

    Check the iTunes window pane lower right for the Airplay speaker button - you may have selected AppleTv as the output speaker rather than Computer - this works independently of Home Sharing.

  • I have been listening to iTunes radio for a few months.  All of a sudden, I don't get any sound when music is playing, however, if an ad comes on, I can hear that.  Any suggestions?

    I have been listening to iTunes radio for a few months.  All of a sudden I cannot hear any music stations.  I can hear the ads when they come on, but not the music.  Any suggestions?

    Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

  • "You're Listening to iTunes Radio" error

    After changing the password for my Apple ID on my iMac, I am unable to sign in to iTunes Radio from any of my devices (iPhone 5S, iPad 4th gen, or Apple TV 3rd gen).  While surprised the devices didn't just learn my new password, I assumed it's perhaps a security matter so have been attempting to sign in with my new or old password.  Most everything else appears to work.  But when I attempt to listen to iTunes Radio, all I get is a male voice repeating over and over continuously "You're listening to iTunes Radio."  On-screen the display just cycles through album covers.  I was able to listen to my own music streamed from iMatch on my iPhone, but not my iPad, and neither plays iTunes Radio--just that "You're listening to iTunes Radio" repeated over and over.  I have tried power cycling the iPhone, turning iTunes Match off then on, entering my iCloud ID in lieu of my normal non-Apple domain Apple ID, all to no avail.
    I had no idea updating my Apple ID's password would be so problematic.  Can anyone help me or has iTunes Radio simply gone crazy?

    Same issue since changing Apple ID password. Apple TV won't allow me to play my music of video purchases (says iTunes is currently unavailable). I'm able to play them on my mac and iPad, however. Radio on the other hand is completely crazy on all my devices - when choosing a station it immediately skips through several songs at a rapid pace then gets stuck on the "you're listening to iTunes radio" glitch as described above.
    I've done a reset and factory restore of my Apple TV, signed in and out of my Apple ID, reset my router, NOTHING has worked. Apple support was no help.
    I'm sorry I have nothing to contribute right now - I'll keep searching and share here if I find a solution.
    Why is chaning my password causing such chaos?!

  • How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

    How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

    If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
    If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.

  • My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise and I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
    Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.
