Cd playback is crackly in itunes

Hi,
I hope someone can help me out. I purchased a new Van Halen cd. It plays perfectly in the car and on my husbands laptop and his ipod etc.
However when I play it on my itunes on my laptop it is really crackly, like a bad radio station.
Ive googled it and not much came up, so Im hoping someone out there can give me a few suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Kylie

Hey!
Not sure exactly why you have to Deauthorize.I had problems with the first iTunes7 download and not being able to sync Automatically.I re-apllied my library thru the iPod summary page which consequently meant none of my purchased music played on my pod.Just skipped to the next non purchased song!Deauthorizing and then authorizing solved the problem!
It is obviously meant to stop unlimited use of the songs(you only get 5 Authorizations per computer.)Touch wood I've not encountered any glitches since the 7.0.1.8 update.
Cheers,
John

Playback Skipping Problems with iTunes 7.3 or later - Resource Hog?

Audio playback on my computer was fine on all versions of iTunes upto and including version 7.2. The problem started when Apple released iTunes 7.3 (for the iPhone - which I don't have). Audio playback was fine if iTunes was the only program running. But if I was also using another program - like a simple 3d game or even just using the lasso tool in Photoshop - then playback sk..sk..skipped constantly. So I closed iTunes and tested my music library on Windows Media Player 11 with other programs running and audio playback was consistently good - no skipping at all. But I'd rather not use Windows Media Player if iTunes can work properly! I suspected that iTunes 7.3 had become a resource hog. When iTunes 7.4.2 was released I was hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't. So I uninstalled iTunes 7.4.2, re-installed iTunes 7.2 (the last version that worked) and audio playback (with other programs running) is great again. So I don't think the problem has arisen from installing any other programs. My question is : WHAT THE **** HAVE APPLE DONE TO iTUNES since version 7.2?! Please help, because I don't want to be stuck with this version and never be able to update!

anybody?

Can not playback HD movies in iTunes!

Can not playback HD movies in iTunes!

Check in iTunes Preferences/Playback and make sure you have High Definition selected in Preferred Video Version.

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!

iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected. If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

Metallic blips interrupt playback, cause computer lag, iTunes library gradually depleted

I didn't realize there would be a comment box
here's the story friends, perhaps you can help me!
This has not been an issue with any of my other pcs. I am running Windows 7 on a (cheap) Gateway I bought this summer. I keep ALL of my music on an external terabyte and have never encountered problems with external HD music in iTunes on another machine.
Since loading iTunes onto this computer, I have experienced:
-metallic, buzzing interruptions to music playback with no discernible pattern or cause. All programs can be closed, or open, machine can be active or relatively inactive, and i will hear this sound intermittently and indiscriminately, regardless. I can listen to a song on repeat, for example, and the buzzing will happen multiple times in one playback, none in another, and several times again, in different places, in a third playback. This would indicate to me some kind of external influence, but those factors are not consistent either.
- slow depletion of library. iTunes will, after an uncertain amount of time (i have not clocked it because I had not thought it to recur again), begin to lose connection to files. I will open up iTunes and songs I was recently listening to will have exclamation marks next to them, indicative of a missing file that the program could not locate. When I double-click on them, it states it's unable to find the file and when I attempt to find it where all my music is stored, I frequently CAN'T.
Due to this, I have deleted my library, approximately 50G, three times and re-imported it all at once thereafter, each time. The missing songs will reappear in working order, and even those I was not aware I'd lost will return.
I did this about a month and a half ago, I think, and now files are disappearing again.
Does ANYONE have the slightest inkling of what's going on here? I am very frustrated, obviously, because I have used iTunes for over 5 years and have put a good deal of money into it that cannot be transferred to another platform. I would be elated to even hear from someone with a similar problem.
Thank you for reading, I appreciate your time, and any help you may be able to offer me!

Hissing/Popping/Crackling/Cracking in iTunes 6.05 w/ Quicktime 7.1

I reformatted and installed Windows 2000 Server. I used to use Windows 2000 Professional, and iTunes worked fine. Now, installing the latest iTunes 6.05 with Quicktime 7.1, I get hissing/popping/crackling/cracking at semi-random intervals (as bizarre as it may sound, with one song it seems to always occur around 10 seconds into the piece if it is the first song I play with iTunes. In another song it tends to be within the first second, but it's not as consistently within that first second as the other is at 10 seconds. After the first crackle, I usually can listen for 2-5 minutes before another crackle occurs.) . I can play the MP3's fine in Quicktime 7.1, VLC, and Windows Media Player 6.4. I'm running a Creative Soundblaster Audigy sound card. I have muted all items in Volume Control excepting Wave and Master. I have experimented toggling with the Quicktime "Sound Out" section (as suggested in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610). I have done various combinations of "safe mode" checked/not checked, 44.1/48/96 kHz, 8/16/24 bit, and Stereo/Quadraphonic. Judging from Creative documentation, it ought be 24 bit/48 kHz, but no combinations worked. I've reverted to iTunes 4 with Quicktime 6? from my iPod CD. Creative EAX and "Sound Enhancer" in iTunes are both disabled, though I have experimented with turning them on and that hasn't helped either. I have used my 5 year old Audigy drivers as well as the latest Audigy drivers. I really don't know what to do.
It looks like the following threads concern the same topic
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=588534&tstart=15
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=588245&tstart=30
Both of which come to no resolution.
Just to be thorough, iTunes is installed on my system disk, a 120 gig Seagate hard drive, and my library is located on a RAID 1 array of Western Digital 120 gig hard drives. I have 640 mb of RAM and an Athlon XP 1700+ on an Abit KR7A-RAID.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I found new symptoms to my problem. It seems the cracking only occurs when there is hard drive activity on the hard drive where my music is located. When I move a large file to and from the hard drive, the cracking is non stop. This behavior makes sense when you recall that towards the beginning of every track there is cracking as I think this is when the data is being moved from the hard drive to the RAM.
I don't think this has to do with my music being on a Raid 1 array or the Raid controller since iTunes exhibits the same cracking when playing music off other disks, including those attached to the Raid controller and those not attached.

Chooppy playback of video using iTunes 7.0.2

I have finally gotten things, two months on, to where I can view iTunes m4V files (TV shows that i downloaded) in a rather normal way, using iTunes, on small screen only,
however,
the skipping persists when in iTunes I click on to FULL SCREEN mode.
This skipping of audio and video does not occur with other file formats in players such as WIMP 11, and InterVideo DVD.
Followed all instruction to set everything correctly.
Please help.
Please advise.
Robert

I built a new computer over this weekend (well, I purchased a Dell XPS 410 and did some upgrades to it) and am having teh same issue rj is describing above with stuttering playback. However all my video playback in iTunes is choppy - even videos that I have converted from other formats.
I have to lean toward this being an iTunes problem as I just checked some Quicktime HD and Windows Media HD trailers at 1080p and they play just fine (spectacularly, actually, as compared to my old PC). I tested the Windows Media HD file from both my RAID arrays and it plays perfectly from both (I only have QT, not QT Pro, so I can't download the trailers from Apple to try them on both arrays unfortunately).
I have to head in to the office now but I will do some more troubleshooting this evening.
I did NOT have the latest version of iTunes on my old PC (was running 7.0.1) but I hadn't watched any movies probably since upgrading to 7.0 (at which point what I was watching - Heroes - was just fine in full screen mode).
System Specs:
Dell XPS 410
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB DDR-667
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all available updates
2x WD Raptor 74GB in RAID0 (benched at 109MB/s ave transfer, 211MB/s burst)
2x WD Caviar SE16 320GB in RAID0 (benched at 113MB/s ave transfer, 310MB/s burst)
DVD-DL (SATA)
CD-RW/DVD (SATA)
ATI Radeon X1950Pro with modified Catalyst 6.9 drivers (only thing that works right now, was thinking this was the problem but since all other video works fine I'm sure it isn't now)
Dell XPS 410 Modified Windows XP Pro

Apple TV 2 stops playback while streaming from iTunes

ATV is wired connected to the same router as my Mac. After my Apple TV 2 automatically updated to 6.1.1, I started having playback issues. I store all of my movies in iTunes on my Mac Pro (10.9.2 Mavericks) and watch them on my TV using my Apple TV 2. The ATV2 allows me to navigate to my computer, to movies, select a movie, and begin playing it. But about 3-5 minutes into playback, it stops and goes back to the ATV home screen. I can go back to the movie and resume playing and 3-5 minutes later, it does it again. I can start a movie from my Mac and mirror it to my ATV and it will play no problem but I do not want to have to do that. I have already disabled ipv6 on my Mac (per other thread on here) but am still having the same issue. I have restarted my modem, router, Mac, and ATV countless times with no improvement. Ethernet settings are 'automatic'. Any ideas of settings I should check/change?

In reply to my own question - I see that this is in fact possible because on one of my Apple TVs it does display the album artwork of the song playing from iTunes on my computer, but on my other two Apple TVs it doesn't, and I still can't figure out which setting determines this behavior. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Is the iPod touch 4g supposed to remember playback positions reached in iTunes?

Mine doesn't.
Playback position appears to be one-way - iPod to iTunes.
I've stopped listening to large files (long podcasts, audiobooks) in iTunes because I have to manually return to the same position after my iPod is disconnected from iTunes.
My old iPod classic doesn't have the problem - so I'm assuming this is a software issue.
Thanks

The answer according to the local Apple Genius bar is - iTunes doesn't send last playback position to the iPod touch device.

Audio playback stuttering/skipping randomly itunes 10.1 mac 10.6.5

Having issues with playback on my mac since installing 10.1.
It seems to glitch a track randomly and skips a second of song or something.
7% of my CPU is in use and ive got nearly 4gig of ram free. itunes library is about 32 gig bit its never been an issue before.
Is this a known issue in 10.1 itunes?

the forums are full of discussions about this issue.today i suddenly had the same problem.stuttering music.i tried the following to solve the problem,and so far it seems to work for me:throw out all the music from your itunes player,but keep the files in the library.re-import the music you want to listen to from the library now,and see if it solves the problem for you,too.

Choppy playback after upgrading to iTunes 11

I am still on OSX 10.6.8 so I can still use Front Row on my laptop. I just recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now playback of video will become choppy and sometimes stalls and the sound will also become choppy and unsynchronized with the video. This occurs when playing video on iTunes or Front Row. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you come up with a solution?? Thanks in advance.

I was also having this issue on my iMac running OSX 10.6.8 after upgrading to iTunes 11. Clearing my user Library Cache seems to have solved the issue.
In case you're not sure how to do that, open a finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G to go to a folder, then enter "~/Library/Caches". Select all the contents of the Caches folder, and hit Cmd-Delete. You will be prompted to enter your password in order to delete these files. Restart your machine and empty the bin when you log back in.

Video Playback Issues after Downloading iTunes 10.4.1 & Quicktime

After downloading v. 10.4.1, video playback framerate is terrible. Voices are choppy & out of sync with dialogue. The music wasn't necessarily affected but, can here slight distortion. This hasn't been an issue until downloading the latest software version. Then iTunes crashes. Am I the only one this is happening to?

You may consider updating your iTunes to the latest version to fix bugs.

Beginning playback from keyboard while iTunes is hidden

If you begin playback using the Play/Pause button on your keyboard while iTunes is hidden, the current track and all its related info will not show up in the bit at the top. Clicking on other tracks does not seem to fix the problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi
Hopefully, this article http://www.macworld.com/article/49080/2006/01/lockscreen.html can provide some assistance.

Is there a way to stop video playback from crashing in iTunes 11?

Video playback lasts 2-5 minutes and then iTunes crashes... hard. It just started tonight and my system says I've had 9 iTunes crashes. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Help!

that´s the point. you are using the wrong sort option. if you want rows you arrange by the button depicted above. in addition you can select how to sort your files (gear wheel button / secondary click context menu)

Video playback problems for Mac/iTunes

When iTunes is in video playback mode things go haywire. The video stops (the audio keeps playing ok) then skips forward. Sometimes it will play ok for a few minutes but always starts up again. I have done the profrences thing. No luck. Anybody found a work-around to this problem while Apple gets it's groove back re: iTunes?

I have the EXACT same problem!! I have gone through the same steps as you and more. I have reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, emailed support, and they responded as follows: " Dear John, I understand that you're unable to hear any audio when playing this video, purchased from the iTunes Store. I'd be happy to help you with this. Fortunately, this issue can usually be corrected by simply reinstalling QuickTime." I really think it sa something to do with iTunes 7. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions. Something to do with the audio/video drivers?
