ATV3 plays wrong song and has gap at the beginning

Hi there,
just got my ATV3 exchanged, because the old new one has got this media-library-connection-error, however with the new one I am experiencing a strange behaviour via WLAN and via Ethernet.
Whenever I stream music and skip songs manually playback will start immediately from the beginning of each song.
Playing playlists or entire albums causes a freeze at the beginning of a new song and playback starts between 3 or 6 seconds later, from this length of gap on in the song, so not starting at the beginning. Often it plays a different track than the one displayed (most of the time the next in sequence).
Anybody else experiencing this?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas

Solved it by turning homesharing off an on again!

  • We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

    Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
    I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
    I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

    Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
    My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
    I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
    It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    I found this and it worked!!!

    Re: iTunes keeps crashing when I select iTunes store (Win 8) iTunes 11

    I had this exact same problem.  I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me.  Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.  Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  My iTunes store is working fine now.
    God bless!!

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

  • How do I get my playlists to play one song and than stop?

    I am trying to use my iphone to play songs in a playlist for a presentation. However, I don't want the playlist to AUTOMATICALLY jump to the next song after the previous one has finished playing; I want to manually control that function on my iphone, similar to how you uncheck boxes on your itunes playlist so that the playlist will not automatically play the next song.
    Does anyone have any advice for me on how to do this?

    You're welcome.
    Unless you select repeat or shuffle, a playlist will play straight through in the order the songs are in the playlist beginning with the first song that you select. If you have shuffle enabled, shuffle will begin after the first song plays that you select.
    If you have sync only checked songs and video selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, any song deselected in a playlist that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone will not be transferred to your iPhone with the playlist. iTunes is doing as you've selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. After the songs in a playlist are transferred to your iPhone, what I provided in the first paragraph applies.
    With sync only checked songs and video selected, this way you can remove a song from your iPhone without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes. You may not want the song removed from the playlist in iTunes but you want the song removed from the playlist on your iPhone.

  • Play one song and stops

    I've had i-tunes for awhile and never had any problems.I listen to i-tunes on mydesktop at work. Yesterday I cleaned up my library (got rid of songs I did not want) now all of a sudden I play one song and thats it. I have to go back to the library and click on the next song. Any suggestions?

    I figured it out! each song has to have a check mark in front of it. Some how when I was editing things the song were all unchecked. Hold the 'CTRL" key and click one song and all the songs are automatically checked.

  • How do I stop iPod on my iPad from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop.

    How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

  • I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account.  I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song.  What should I do?

    I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account.  I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song.  What should I do?

    If just one song on an album is doing that, that suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
