Audio on the fritz! Any clue on how to fix?

The audio on my Powerbook is going weird again. Every time I open iTunes, whenever I'm playing anything, the song's audio kind of skips a beat and iTunes quits unexpectedly. And I can't get any audio online to work unless it's quicktime.
Does this sound like a hardware or software problem? I had just updated to 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1 when this happened, but I have since downgraded to 10.4.7, and it's still happening. And I can't get iTunes 6 to install, so I don't know if it's an iTunes problem. I kind of think its something more, but if someone has any ideas, I NEED MY AUDIO BACK!

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC and PRAM.  Of course, the keyboard may be failing/have failed.

  • Importing vinvl albums via garage band have to import tunes individually .tunes willnot recombine into one album. I understand that it is because data available on cd's is not present on vinyl..any clues on how to fix this?

    importing vinyl albums via garage  band. Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise.  trouble is they will not rejoin as one album in iTunes.I understand it is because data available on cd's is not on vinyl imports . Any clues on how to fix this?

    "Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise."  -- I don't understand this sentence.
    iTunes will not assign track names to items imported from vinyl.  You will have to label the files yourself in the Get Info window.  As long as you give all the tracks on an album the same album information and the same artist information they should group together.  if the artists differ then you need to give all the tracks one common album artist (often "Various Artists")in addition to individual track artist.

    I had recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and thus had to re download Adobe Digital Editions. I downloaded Version 4.0 but the problem seemed to be with the authorization between the e-reader and the computer. While in ADE click the help button and click erase authorization then re do your user id and password. It worked for me.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go
