All songs skipping like a scratched record in Itunes! Help!

I don't know if this problem has anything to do with Itunes 11 or Icloud but around the same time that I downloaded these I began to have all my Itunes songs, the great majority of which have not been bought from the Itunes store, skipping like a scratched record. I also synched my PC with an ipad around the same time. Thanks in advance!

Why when playing downloaded music on apple tv through my distributed audio, it sometimes skips like a scratched record or just stops (in pause mode and won't play again) and yet i have full bars on the wireless in home service from the mac to the appletv?

Why when playing downloaded music on my mac through my appletv (I have distributed audio so play it through speakers not actually on the television), which is sent wireless from mac to the apple tv, does the music sometimes skip like a scratched record or stop playing (in pause mode) altogether and won't start again when I hit play? I have full bars on the wireless icon. Anyone experience this?

Full bars don't tell the whole story. These issues usually stem from interference, use istumbler to verify

Songs skipping like a scratched CD

A few songs on my iPod nano are skipping like a scratched CD would skip: always in the same place, making that annoying stuttering sound. They work fine in iTunes, so I figured removing that particular playlist from my iPod, syncing, then re-adding the playlist and syncing once again would fix it by making sure I had the file from my computer on my iPod.
Since that didn't work, I have no idea what to do. Any ideas? Thank you.

Might want to post this over [here|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154] as you clearly stated it plays fine on the computer...

My music skips like a scratched cd!

This is the second time I'm asking. please? anyone? my music on itunes skips like a scratched cd. but i know it's not a problem with the music itself. i think it has something to do with windows media player interfering with itunes?

I have been fighting this problem for quite a while. Itunes 7.02 skips, but playback on ipod is fine. I already did all the things apple said to do: ie all the things at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610, ie updating itunes, updating audio drivers, no third party plug-ins, enabled Maximum Audio Hardware Acceleration, ensured sound enhancer was deselected, updated directX, and selected “wave out”. I even talked to apple and HP. My songs play on winamp and windows media player, but not on itunes. I re-installed quick-time with itunes many times. Then from searching on the web, someone said that HP dv computers for whatever reason do not work with the copy of quick-time that is downloaded with i-tunes from the apple website. I then deleted the quicktime only with the add/remove programs on the control panel. Then I downloaded the quicktime ONLY, from the apple website. I have now been skip-free for 8 hours. It may not be enough time yet to tell if this is the fix, but before I was skipping every song. Try it and see if it works for you.

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

My i tunes is skipping like a scratched cd-help please its driving me crazy..

my i tunes is skipping like a scratched cd….please help it is driving me crazy...

If no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Having a problem with the sound for purchased movies is skipping like a scratched CD

Every time I got to play a movie of Television show the sound keeps skipping like a scratched CD. I've tried redownloading but that doesn't seem to work. I dont know what else to do.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Songs skipping like scratched cd in iTunes 10.6 why and what is the fix

Hi, I use my MacBook pro to play backing tracks for my live show. I am working in Greece in the outdoors at night. Since the beginning of the summer iTunes has been skipping like mad during gigs Not Good. I don't remember when I upgraded my iTunes but don't recall having the problem last year when I started using the MacBook. I have searched the net and have found many a kindred soul suffering skipping songs.
What gives?
What I have tried:
1- I have disabled the sudden movenmt sensor thinking it might be a Bass Response issue. However, still does it.
2- bought a DJ rack to elevate the computer thinking it might be a heat issue. Nope.
3- got rid of all start up items, closed airport, netshred, etc.
4- changed the setting on Perian from Dolby stereo to stereo, and then I uninstalled it. Nope
5- I use the apogee duet live and I get skips. Tried it without the duet and it's worse.
What I am running-
MacBook Pro
Lion X 10.7.4
Processor- 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory- 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
1TB SATA HD
I hope someone can help. I spent a lot of money for my MacBook and don't want to go back to the PC.
Thanks

Hi, Clinton,
Now I think that I have officially tried everything short of taking out the HD and replacing it..
I have used the removable drive and still got the problem.. However, I noticed that the skipping only happens on my Backing Tracks and the same ones, which then told me that the tracks became corrupted. So I re-encoded 2 of the tracks using Garageband and Others I just replaced with new versions..
It worked great for 2 gigs and I was chuffed to bits.. However, I needed the third gig to make it a go and then BLAMMO one of the re-encoded songs skips... My 4th gig I get a new addition to the skipping...
Something is wrong and it is doing my head in.. Do you have any other suggestions aside from going back to my Cheapie Windows Notebook that never skipped?

Songs skipping like scratched cd on iTunes and MacBook pro

Posted this on iTunes and no response. I would really appreciate a reply from Apple as I not only paid loads for my MacBook, but crowed like mad how much better the Mac would be than a PC for doing music live. I am seriously disappointed and a bit embarrassed.

P.S. I have upgraded, as well, to the latest iTunes.

Purchased songs that skip, like a scratched CD

I have purchased atleast 2 songs that skip, like a CD that is scratched. Really bad quality. Does iTunes music store credit those songs? If yes, how do I go about it?

Assuming that it's just specific tracks, not every track you purchase from the iTMS, contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. Most likely they'll credit your account and instruct you to try again in a couple of weeks after they've had a change to try and get new copies of the tracks.

I just upgraded to iTunes 11.4.0.18 in Windows Vista and now my songs sometimes skip like a dirty record. How can I correct this? Thanks for any info.

Update itune 6, now all songs skip

Hello,
After downloading and installing itunes 6, all my songs skip and sounds like they are scratched (and weren't before).How can i fix this???

hi y'all!
actually, the MacMuse advice in that particular tip is directed towards versions of itunes that use Quicktime 6.5.2 for their audio playback. for the QT 7 version of the waveout quick-fix (for itunes 5.0.x and 6.0), see this document:

My iTunes skips like a scratched CD?

So I didn't have this problem until I upgraded iTunes about a month ago to the current version. All of my music, which previously played fine, skips like it's playing off a scratched CD whenever I do anything else on my computer. I'll go to load tumblr and it'll repeat the same clip of like half a second of song for ten seconds.
I use iTunes when I draw and that's the worst. I can't put my tablet pen down without my music freaking out. This is driving me crazy because I love music and it was just fine until I downloaded the new iTunes. Now my music skips on both my computers and it's getting to the point where I want to scream. I've done a disk cleanup, defragmented it, everything my friend and I could think and it still skips all the time. Windows Media Player and all my other players work perfectly, just not iTunes.
Please tell me someone out there knows what I'm talking about and how to fix it?

ITunes Radio song skipping like bad CD!

I recently started using the new iTunes radio service and the first couple days song played fine but starting last friday (Oct 4th 2013) Some songs started skipping like when you tried playing a scratched CD.
Very intermitted, random skipping and pausing.
The crazy thing is the next song (either by selecting or waiting until the bad song finishes) WORKS fine!... Then a song or two later skips again.
I am using a MacBook proRetina with the lastest OS versiona and most updated ver of iTunes.

My guess is that it's just the internet connection dropping the stream every now and then. But hard to say for sure without actually hearing it and also knowing how you're connected to the internet.

ITunes is skipping like a scratched cd

It was playing fine for several hours today and then all of a sudden it started skipping, and it's been going in and out since.
It usually happens when I've got an internet browser window (chrome) open and running.
I updated iTunes to 11.0.1 to see if that would fix the issue but it didn't.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem.
All of my songs are skipping - songs stop playing every few seconds for a few seconds and then continue.
When the songs skip, my entire internet "skips" as well
When the songs skip, my entire computer "skips" as well including my wireless mouse and even the volume controls.
Computer: 2011 iMac
Operating System: Mac OS X v. 10.6.8
iTunes: v.11.0.1
Installed the update today
I only have about 10 songs that I have purchased online. Everything else was uploaded from a CD.
I have tried the following things and the problem persists
Uninstalled/Re-installed iTunes
Disconnected from the internet while using iTunes
Checked that the library is playing from a folder on the computer (rather than from cloud)
Searched for settings to fix this
