Clicking at the end of each song

I have a new 160gb ipod classic.
After syncing songs to it from my 1.5gig powerpc g4 laptop i get staticky pops or clicks at the end of every track that has silence for a few beats.
What the ****?
No pop/clicks on my deck. Tracks from a mix of iTunes store, other downloads and CDs.
Thanks.

As a follow up, I went to the Genius Bar for a bowl of Mensa Stew, but only got some tepid broth. Here's what transpired:
The girl I was speaking with suggested that the artifact was the software misinterpreting information between the cuts. It was only a theory. She had not heard of any other incidents to relay. First she suggested I rip as MP3's. I explained that wasn't an option for me. She listened to a few cuts on a CD I'd brought with, or rather the ends of the cuts and confirmed there was a problem with the rip. She went through my settings, and asked if I'd tried it with Error Correction turned off. I explained I hadn't and that I preferred to use it. She suggested attempting to rip one of the cuts with it turned off just to see how it did. We did that and no artifact was there. So her 'solution' was to either leave error-correction turned off always, or turn it off for those problem CD's that produce the artifact (I'd estimate about 5% do on my laptop). This did not explain why it was doing it, nor why my g5 tower, which is running a carbon-copied system with all the same iTunes settings, does not produce the artifact with Error-Correction turned on.
I'd be interested to hear of anyone else who's been having problems importing hi-rez files in iTunes. I know of at least one other instance where the artifact produced (on a MacBook) is dis-similar to mine in that it takes the form of brief electronic beeps moving from channel to channel.
Anyone else?

    Most likely your songs got unchecked.  iTunes will not automatically advance to an unchecked song.
    First make sure you can see the checkboxes.  If not, Preferences > General, Show list checkboxes.
    If they have gone empty, you can recheck them all at once by holding the CMD or OPTION key (sorry I forget which on a Mac, so if one does not work try the other) and click any empty box.

  • Strange digital artifacts at the end of each song importing via iTunes

    I've tried a few variations on archive searches and wasn't able to find an answer to this: In ripping some of my CD's into iTunes (either Apple Lossless or WAV) I've been getting some very odd, brief digital artifacts at the end of each songs on a CD. This sounds like two or three seconds of an audio tape on fast forward. It only seems to happen on new releases (I cannot think of any older CD's it's occurred on). I just got a copy of Mary Gauthier's new album (great CD by the way) and it happened on that one, for example. I tried ripping it multiple times in Apple Lossless, and WAV (always in iTunes) and each and every time it created files where this strange artifact existed at the end of every song. I play the CD I ripped the files from and the artifact is not there. I have several CD's, most of them recent releases over the past five years, that do the exact same thing. Otherwise everything else functions perfectly an the bulk of my 700+ CD library has imported without a hiccup. Is this some kind of anti-piracy technology...or do I simply have some setting off in my itunes preferences (Error-Correction is on, WAV or Apple Lossless is always set to Automatic, have experimented with importing to startup disk and external disk-same results). The artifacts seem to always sound the same too...they never vary, except that they sound different from song-to-song, but the same if say, the first cut is played over again. They are always 2 seconds plus or minus, and always at the end of a cut (the final 2 seconds or so). They do transfer verbatim to my iPod, and also play via iTunes through my stereo.
    Anyone have any clues what this might be?

  • All my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

    all my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Itunes 7 quits at the end of each song.

    I just upgraded to itunes 7 from the last version. If I let a song play through, itunes will crash at the end of the song. It does not crash if I switch the songs myself. This problem did not occur with other versions of itunes

    I am experiencing this issue as well on 7.0.1.8. It occurs at the end of the last item of any given set of things playing, i.e. playlist, album, podcast, etc. It has nothing to do with crossfade, checked/unchecked or anything else but the song's position at the end of the set.
    Beyond being a little weird, kind of annoying, and not incrementing the play count, I think it's the root cause of an actual problem I am noticing. My podcast settings include the option to "keep all UNPLAYED episodes". In prior versions if I listened to a podcast all the way to the end it would get deleted the next time new episodes were checked for. Now, in this version, there is nothing I can do to get iTunes to automatically clean up the podcasts I'm done with. Manually deleting them is fine, but it's impossible to look at the list and remember which ones I finished and which ones I'm in the middle of listening to. It's also just a bummer that something that used to work nicely now doesn't function quite as cleanly.

  • Stop at end of each song

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone here can tell me how I might be able to get iTunes and/or iPods to stop at the end of each "song" and wait for me to hit the play button (or space bar) to play the next song.
    Why you ask?
    Well minidisks (MDs) are used this way in theater productions for sound effects. I see no reason (especially given Sony won't make Minidisk software for Macs) why iTunes or iPods shouldn't be able to be used instead of MDs. MDs are so yesterday. I also understand MDs are used for Radio this way.

    Nope. You would have to manually choose the next playlist this way. The idea is to just hit a button and the next track plays, then stops. You need your finger on button ready for the next cue. You see some time sound cues come rapidly. You don't have time to look to change a play list, never mind what it you accidently picked the wrong one.

  • Hyperlinks from my MSWord files suddenly don't work because "/FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command" has somehow been added to the end of each URL.

    When I click to open the hyperlink in my Word file, the message I get in Firefox is "The requested URL /submissions.htmlFirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command was not found on this server." When I delete that portion of the URL, the website opens fine. What can I do to make the hyperlinks work properly?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work. The link information is written correctly on the MSWord page. But when I click on it and the Firefox tab opens, the page can't be found because "FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command" has been added to the end of each URL. Might it help if I reset Firefox?

  • How to add a signature at the end of each post

    How do you add a signature at the end of each post (if possible)?
    ^^right now, I just have to copy and paste that

    It's possible to set up your signature on the Desktop such that it can be simply dragged into the Camera icon's "From the Web" field...
    1. Right click on an already posted pic
    2. Choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    3. From the address bar of that new tab, drag the URL's favicon (little icon) to your Desktop whereupon an "@" icon will be created
    The above only has to be done once, and then to use that image in future posts...
    1. Click the Camera icon
    2. Click "From the Web"
    3. Drag the URL's "@" icon from your Desktop to the URL field and click Insert Image
    And if you want your signature instead of a generic "@" icon, that's possible too:

  • I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited.  Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

    I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment.  Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly?  (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote) 

    Thanks very much, varjak paw.  I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over.  They all show the same location:
    Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
    What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step?  or somewhere else I should look?
    And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs.  I am embarrassed that I didn't know.  I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac?  (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
    Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

    I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Peter.

    Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
    Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

  • Putting buttons at the end of each row of a report

    Hi
    Was wondering if anyone new of a way to put buttons on the end of each row of a report. Basically i want a button and a LOV box next to the end of each row so that the user could set the value of the LOV box click the button and that would update just that row. Obviously i want to give them the option of batch processing it as well but for now i just want them to be able to update one row at a time.
    This does not nessacary need to be with a LOV box it could also work with radio buttons to specifiy the value to update.
    If anyone knows a way of doing this or any information where i can read about it then please let me know as i would be very interested.
    Or can you make report fields eidtable so that i can just run a massage update on the using all the values in the report?
    Thank you for your time

    No such luck a tabluar updat form shows all the rows for that table. I only want the user to be able to update their rows in the table.
    This is bascally what i want to do.
    I have two reports that only show records that are realted to the current user that is logged in.
    The first report shows all records in the table for the current user where the supervisor (the current user) type is set to confirmed.
    The second reprot shows all the records in the table for the current user where the supervisor (the current user) type is set to requested.
    That is what i have acheived so far.
    I want to be able to make the superviosr type in the second report editable with a list of values requested, rejected and confirmed. The user can then select what he would like the type to be for the specific record in the report and then press a button that updates all the reocrds (or a button at the end of each row that updates each row). If the row is confirmed it moves to the first report, if it is still requested it stays in the second report and if it is set to rejected then it will be in neither report.
    Therefore my question is if i make the supervisor type eidtable how can i link it to the id of that row so that it updates it?
    If this is not clear please state to me which part i have not made clear.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Only a 2 second fade at the end of a song?

    This is irritating: I can only do a fade-out at the end of a song over a two second span. It is way too abrupt. Are there any ways to make the fade out more gradual?

    Dave,
    In Effects>Audio Transitions>Crossfades, you should have 2 Trransitions. Choose Constant Power, and drag it to the end of your Audio Clip. Depending on your settings in Edit>Preferences, you may need to drag the beginning of the Constant Power Crossfade to the left, to get the 5 sec., that you want.
    Other method would be to highlight the Clip, and in the Effects Control panel, choose Volume. Go to 5 sec., before the end, and click the "stopwatch" to add a start Keyframes and add a Keyframe. Go to the end of the Clip and click the "add Keyframe" button. With the CTI still over that Keyframe on the end of the clip, drag the Volume slider to -00.0db.

  • HT203167 hi ive downloaded an album and it appears to miss the ending of some songs.  how do i redownload the album

    hi ive downloaded an album from itunes and it appears to be missing the end
    of some songs. can anyone tell me how to redownload it again

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Fix failing security tests on BlazeDS/trunk by using a remote object to invalidate the FlexSession at the end of each test method which should cause each test method to run with a new/clean session. It looks like some test methods were leaving some things in a bad state which was causing the next test that ran to fail. These may be legitimate bugs/issues so we should investigate further to see what sequence of events gets things into a bad state but for these tests we want all of the test methods to run in isolation.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Stops at the end of each track

    This is probably me but having only got a ipod touch (32gb)and loaded up a album from itenes it stops at teh end of each track and goes back the main menu........whats the deal? and how doo I rectify the problem. I have to play each track and I cant see an option to put this tight? Any advise would be great Thanks

    Hello BarbaraJS,
    Welcome to our community. The only time that Captivate 1 / 2
    should stop at the end of each slide is if you have captured your
    screens in Simulation Training, Assessment Training (possibly in
    custom mode). Capturing screens in simulation or assessment
    training mode will result in Captivate adding click boxes which
    will pause the slide until the learner has clicked inside the click
    box area and then the movie / project will advance to the next
    slide.
    If you open your Captivate project and show the Timeline do
    you see a click box object on the Timeline panel?
    If so then you can either remove each of the click boxes on
    the slides that make up your movie / project or you may prefer to
    create new Captivate file and from the Recording mode menu choosing
    Demonstration mode.
    This will then ensure that no click boxes are added to your
    Captivate movie / project.
    Regards,
    Mark
