Airtunes streaming skips in iTunes 10 Mac but not iTunes windows

I have had problems with airtunes for a fair while now, definately the whole time i've had itunes 10, but recently noticed that using the same computer (MBP booted to Windows 7 using iTunes Windows) it streams perfectly. So now I'm really confused. Help!
Problem:
Here is the problem. Mac iTunes 10, play music streaming to me Airport express, will start to play then stop, pause, start, pause, play.... aarrrggg. Doesn't matter which song.
Environment:
I have Airport Extreme connected to Linksys modem. Wireless g/n network connecting to Airport express which is hard wired to stereo. Wireless network is perfect except for this airtunes issue, and support various mobile devices plus n and g apple notebooks. My main computer is Macbook Pro with dual boot windows 7 and mac snow leopard. I've recently found that itunes only behaves badly in Mac mode!
Diagnosis:
Have tried switching wireless channel from 1, 7, 11 etc to remove interferrence - but identified that this does not remove the issue.
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes windows on same computer and works FINE
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on iPhone 3GS with iOS5 and works about 50% (skipping, but not as bad as from mac, but unacceptable quality)
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on Macbook Pro with snow leopard and iTunes 10 and basically skips constantly

  • IPod appears in iTunes 7 but not in Windows Explorer

    my iPod appears in iTunes 7 but not in Windows Explorer
    also i can't put any photo on iPod

    my iPod appears in iTunes 7 but not in Windows Explorer
    if you don't have "enable disk use" or "manually manage music" selected in your summary tab, that's normal.
    do you have either "enable disk use" or "manually manage music" selected in your summary tab?

  • MP3 tags work in iTunes 11 but not in Windows 7 - Fixed

    I tagged a bunch of MP3 downloads in iTunes 11, but the artist/track/album and other information did not show up in Windows 7 file information or in Windows Media Player.
    The fix that worked for me was to convert to MP3 tags to ID3 tags to version 1.0.
    Steps:
    -Open iTunes
    -Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
    -Right click the songs
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose v1.0
    -Click OK
    Your mileage may vary, of course, but this worked for me and all of the embedded info was properly updated. Note that I did not have album art and I don't know if rolling back the version will affect that. Good luck.

    Thanks turingtest2.
    I tried your None>2.3 path and it appears to be a superior method to my original suggestion.
    I hadn't noticed, but the track #s did not come through to Windows using my original method. They come through when converting to None then to 2.3. Your method, as you note, also provides the advantage of longer field lenghts. I am sure there are other advantages to 2.3 over 1, if  nothing other than it's closest to the most up to date standard.
    I tried converting to 2.4, but none of the data comes through to Windows.
    Here is a revised set of steps. Note that this method will clear artwork.
    -Open iTunes
    -Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
    -Right click the songs
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose None
    -Click OK
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags... again
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose v2.3
    -Click OK
    Last comment: There may be better solutions using other software such as id3tagit, but the solution above works right from iTunes.

  • Hard drive recognized in mac but not in windows

    Hi, I have an external hard drive which I loaded up from my Mac originally and has only been used in my Mac since.
    Today, I plugged it into a Windows computer and it would not show up in My Computer...
    does anyone know why my external hard drive is recognized just fine on my Mac, but doesn't show up in the Windows computer?
    If it has to do with naming my hard drive, how do I do it correctly on the Mac?
    Thanks!

    That's really a question you should be asking Microsoft, however it may have to do with the way the EHD is formatted. Is it formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or is it formatted another way. You can check this by right clicking the EHD, and selecting Information. Of you can select the EHD in Finder and type Command I. 

  • Sync Settings works on the Mac, but not in Windows

    On my Mac (Mountain Lion), the Sync Settings screen in Preferences is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I can choose any of the options. But on my Windows 8.1 machine, the Sync Settings options are all checked, but grayed-out. The Sync Now button is also grayed-out. Where it says "Signed in as", it's blank; it doesn't show my account name. But when I click the Manage Account button, it takes me to my CC page (creative.adobe.com/files) and I can see my stuff.
    I just updated all the CC apps, but these options are still grayed-out. Anyone know why?

    Hi Ty
    Always arrange pictures on your page. Select them and used Send backwards (button under). Do this till the button is grey. Now your pictures are under the text. Otherwise there is a mask over the text.
    Good luke

  • . mov files playing fine on a Mac, but not on Windows with Quicktime 7.2

    I have a few .mov clips that were created in Final Cut Pro and that I need to use on a Windows PC. They are playing fine in Quicktime 7.2 on my MacBook, but on the Windows machine, the files play only audio, no video. The screen is white.
    I've tried to play these files in the Divx and VCL players, but they don't work there either.
    Is there a reason these files would only work on a Mac?
    --- As an aside, after installing 7.2 on above mentioned PC (running Vista), NONE of the .mov files on my hard drive run properly anymore. They are either jerky or "white". They will play fine in the VLC player. I've reinstalled quicktime; no difference. All these files were working fine in Quicktime before the upgrade.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers, Johannes

    Here's Avids answer:
    Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
    So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
    But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
    Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
    Thanks again.

  • Java sound app works on Mac but not on Windows

    I am working on a program that needs to play a sound Clip and it doesn't work on XP but it does on OS/X.
    I've reduced the problem to this simple test program. On my PC, the sound I hear on the speakers is just a little burst of noise, whereas it's fine on my Mac. I used one of XP's system wav files, and verified that it does play normally on the PC via other means (iTunes, etc.). I'm using the latest JDK/JRE everywhere. Here's the sample code. Anything obviously wrong here?
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.sound.sampled.*;
    class ClipTest
        public static void main(String args[])
                try
                    Clip soundClip;
                    AudioInputStream soundStream;
                    File audioFile = new File("CHIMES.WAV");
                    soundStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(audioFile);
                    AudioFormat format = soundStream.getFormat();
                    DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);             
                    System.out.println(format.toString());
                    soundClip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                    soundClip.open(soundStream);
                    soundClip.start();
                catch (Exception e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
    }

    Solved my own problem: adding a Thread.sleep(1000); after starting the Clip worked. Looks like the app was terminating before the sound could finish playing. Obviously something is different between the way the Mac and XP JRE handles the sound thread with respect to the rest of the app.

  • Occi crashes InDesign in Mac, but not in Windows

    I got a crazy problem.
    I'm developing a plugin for InDesign using C++ and want to do a oracle connection to one of our databases.
    This is what I call:
    mOCCICon = mOCCIEnv->createConnection(pLoginUsername.GrabUTF16Buffer(nil), pLoginPassword.GrabUTF16Buffer(nil), pmFixedAlias.GrabUTF16Buffer(nil));
    mOCCIEnv is Environment object.
    Whenever I call with correct user and pass, everything is good, both in Mac and Windows build.
    But as soon as I login with false pass, windows gives an ORA error message while Mac crashes!!
    Anyone also got the same problem and have solved it?

    If you are on Windows Vista and trying to write something to
    "Program Files" or its sub folders, write will not end up in the
    right place as "Program Files" is protected. What ever you write
    might go to a virtual store location. If that's the case try
    writing to app storage folder.

  • USB FLASH DRIVE WORKS ON MAC BUT NOT ON WINDOWS... CAUSE I ERASED IT IN MAC

    I decided to take my work flash drive home to work on a file. At home I saw that some weird files were on the flash drive and wouldn't delete, so I decided to save my files on my Mac and erase the USB flash drive. I selected the flash drive (by the way it's a 2 GB flashdrive) and I used the SECURITY OPTION 35 PASS ERRASE. Format: MS-DOS (FAT).
    Everything was fine until I took my flash drive to work and plugged it on a Windows XP Computer and it appeared as Drive E I think and when I tried to open it it asked me to format it. I risked it and clicked OK and it said that I didn't have sufficient rights or something.
    SUMMERY:
    2 GB USB ERASED USING MAC DISSK UTILITY
    EVERYTHING FINE UNTIL I PLUG IN THE FLASH DRIVE IN A WINDOWS
    WINDOWS ASKS ME TO REFORMAT FILE
    I PLUG IT INTO A MAC COMPUTER AT WORK AND IT DOES WORK
    IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW DO I FIX THIS THANKS?

    The drive is probably now formatted for a Mac only file system. To format for a PC:
    Insert the drive in the Mac and start Disk Utility (Utilities folder).
    Select the drive in the left column. Be sure to select the drive (all the way to the left) not a volume (indented below the drive name).
    Select the "Partition" tab.
    Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition" (not "Current" even if it's already one partition).
    Click the "Options" button".
    Select "Master Boot Record".
    Click the "OK" button.
    Enter a volume name (all uppercase).
    Set "Format" to "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    Click the "Apply" button.

  • Duplicates in iTunes folder but not iTunes

    Hi,
    Through Spotify I figured out that my music library on my Mac contains duplicates of many of my songs. Since this is a problem in the User > Music > iTunes folder, the usual "Find duplicates" won't help. I have over 5,000 songs, so is there any way to isolate and remove duplicates within the folder?
    Thanks!

    Use File > Add Folder to Library to add the iTunes Media folder to the library.
    Existing tracks will be ignored, new tracks will be added.
    Use the Option+File > Show Exact Duplicates feature to show exact duplicates.
    Sort the list on Date Added.
    Delete the duplicates added today.

  • My Airport works fine with my Macs but not with Windows netbook

    I bought my first Apple in 1987 and have never owned a Windows computer. I bought an MSI Wind netbook (too long of a story to go into here) and I can't seem to get it to recognize my Airport network. I have three Macs, an iPad and two iPhones that have no trouble getting on the network. Using this Windows machine is like learning a foreign language. I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting. It has XP installed and is a used machine. It seems to work great in every other aspect except for this.
    If anyone could point me to some step by step instructions or have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I have a feeling it's something simple, but I am in foreign territory! Thanks.

    Ok, I guess we will just have to assume that the wireless capability of your netbook is functional.
    Let's start by using Windows XP's automated network troubleshooting feature, called Network Diagnostics.
    To use Network Diagnostics, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
    2. Click the link to Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems, and then click Network Diagnostics in the list on the left.
    3. When you click Scan your system, Network Diagnostics gathers configuration information and performs automated troubleshooting of the network connection.
    4. When the process is completed, look for any items that are marked "FAILED" in
    red, expand those categories, and then view the additional details about what the testing showed.
    Please post back your results.

  • When i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes store'...i'm able to access podcasts and itunesU but not itunes store. This is very strange as i can access app's store

    when i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes'...I'm able to access podcasts and itunes U but not itunes store..my apps store and safari are also working perfectly but don't know whats the issue with i tunes store...i use an airtel broadband connection through a wifi router..pls help

    I was having this problem. The settings on my wireless router was set to hide my IP address so it wouldn't connect. When I changed that, I connected no problem. While this is annoying since I don't want my IP address to be out there, I just switch my router when I need to connect to the App/iTunes Store. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

  • One of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv.

    I own about 30 movies on my apple tv and one of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv. How do I fix this issue and get it to show up on my apple tv?

    Two things to check
    1st
    Settings
    Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    AccountsHow many accounts are there?
    2nd
    From Home screen press Mail app
    Press the top left button (next to Inbox)
    You'll see all the Inboxes for the accounts present
    You'll know either way whether one or more accounts has been setup.
    SIDE NOTE: Not too sure about MobileMe though, might be integrated with iCloud, not sure.
