Auto pausing mid-song

Anyone have the same issue, 4 gig Nano likes to pause during and towards the end of a song. I press play and song continues. This may do this 2-3 songs in sequence then plays without pause for about. This happens usually happens when i start it up.

The Apple Store won't be able to do anything unless they see the problem happen there.

Auto Pause between songs in a playlist

Hi there
I want to use iTunes to play backing tracks to sing to and would like it to move onto the next song but not start playing it until I tell it to.
Is this possible?
I can get it to play single songs and stop, but it doesn't move on to the next one.
If iTunes won't do it can anyone recommend a program that will?

hi chris yes of course it is, but having no auto pause option built in to this software is in my opinion a fundamental error, if you cnsider such devices as mini disk and cd players and the freeware available for windows, which pc based i tunes and i pad based i tunes could replace in a pro environment, they all allow users an option to play all or play single tracks.
While this fix of dougs is only open to mac users, which i am not, i am never going to invest any time in itunes, as for me it will always be considered as bedroom software and not be taken serious. If i wanted to run this script on an ipad, would i need to borrow a mac to install it??
cheers

Itunes keeps pausing mid song

Hi
i have the latest version of Itunes on my PC & running Windows 7 and before i upgraded everything was perfectly working with the old itunes . As soon as i upgraded itunes, the songs are pausing from anything from 30 secs to a whole min and then resume play.
I have re installed itunes countless of times and still nothing is working. I thought maybe it was a quicktime player problem so i re -installed that too, again nothing.
There will be times when the song plays fully with no breaks but then the next song will have multiple breaks and will not play properly
Any help would be appreciated as this is very annoying

ITunes pausing mid-song

I am a Mac veteran using the latest version of iTunes (6) and operating system (Tiger) but am disappointed to have discovered that my music pauses for a second or two with almost every track played!!!
I used to enjoy using iTunes to play music at parties etc but now feel embarrassed that I'll be let down with the playback quality! What's going on???
Has anyone else noticed this or is there an easy solution that I don't know about!
All comments welcome!

Thanks Roger! Problem is, I already got 6.01 & there appears to be no update yet! I just hope that this issue is addressed with the next update as I've seena few other posts relating to similar problems!
Maybe I'll try to re-install an older version that was more reliable with the basic task of music playback. After all, thats what we want at the end of the day!

Ipod will not turn off mid song?

I'm having a problem turning my ipod off mid-song, I could do it until yesterday and now it makes me exit out of an album and pause it in the main menu? Does anyone know why and how to resolve the issue?

Problem solved. Just reset and works fine.

How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
Thanks hope some one can help

One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

Ipod turned off mid song - blank screen and wont restart

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano - used quite regularly but it has not sustained any known damages (not been in contact with water - not been dropped). I updated my ipod today - bought 9 songs and they synced in no problems. I was listening to the ipod in a doc for about an hour and then during one song the ipod suddenly cut out mid song and I cannot get it going again since.
The ipod has a fully blank screen - totally black.
I have gone through the steps via ipod - pressing inner circle and menue keys at same time. I have connected the ipod to the computer. I have re-started my computer - nothing...still blank black screen.
I tried contacting tech support via apple but it won't recognise my serial number! Its an authentic ipod - bought in an electronic shop.
The serial number is on both the origonal packaging and the ipod - but is not recognised by apple.
I am so upset - don't know where to go from here! I have years worth of music on this ipod which I am very worried about losing..and cannot really afford to dish out for a new nano right now.
Any suggestions for me?

ipod nano keeps turning off mid song unless plugged into a power source

Hi,
I got the same problem, I just got it last night and charged it for more than 3 hours but with the same problem

TS1470 Downloaded songs stop mid-song in iTunes music library and on iPod.

I received the 'secure network connection could not be established' error message several times during a recent audio download. I was able to eventually complete all of the downloads by going to the 'available downloads' area. However, when I played back the downloaded songs, several of them ended mid-song although the complete songs appear to have successfully downloaded judging by the 'Time' (minutes) count for each song. (Interestingly enough, the majority of the songs that stopped mid-song during playback were marked as having high popularity in the iTunes store.)
I've had this issue with previous downloads too. I've been charged for and have paid for these songs, but didn't receive the full product in some cases. It's very frustrating that I'm not able to enjoy these songs in their entirety.
Have other folks had this issue? What is the resolution?

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
The same goes for the key.

Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

How do I eliminate this glitch? Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

Change MIDI song names

MIDI song names cannot be changed. This has been a problem since iTunes 6.0

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

ITunes 11.1.2.31 crashing whenever I pause a song

Whenever I pause a song, iTunes crahses. Currently using Windows 8.1 Pro, and I haven't experienced this on the last versions.
Anybody know what to do?

Hey Adamj291,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes after updating. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.
