Clicks/Pops Between Songs

Using a 5th generation 60 gig ipod with itunes 7.0 on Windows XP. When I listen to songs hooked up to an Altec-Lansing Inmotion speaker system, I can hear faint but noticeable pops/clicks between songs. I hooked a family member's ipod up to my speakers and do not hear the clicks. I do not hear them on mine when using headphones. Any suggestions?

bump
And another question- I notice that my cross fade playback was checked and the bar was set exactly in the middle. Could this be the cause of what I'm exerpiencing? And does that option only effect songs as they are ripped from the CD, or if I uncheck the box will it also effect the ones already stored on the ipod?

  • Popping betweens songs

    Recently purchased iM9 inMotion speakers for my iPod.
    Occasionally getting a 'pop' at beginning/end of songs as they change.
    Anyone had this problem with external speaker systems?

    I have the exact same problem with my IM9. It's something I later read about on here it appears to be a problem for MOST IM9 owners!!

  • Clicking in left channel between songs?

    I have noticed that my 4GB 2nd-gen Nano has developed a "click" or "pop" in the left channel only in between songs. Now, it may be my imagination, but I don't recall this noise with the original firmware. Is it possible that the later firmware (1.1.x) could have caused this?
    Does anyone else get a fairly obvious "click" as the Nano is starting up the next song? I have tried turning off the EQ, but that does't help.
    Also, for what it's worth, the same songs that I can easily hear the "click" between do not click on my color iPod, and they both synch up to the same songs in iTunes on the same computer. It seems that the "click" is unique to the Nano at this point.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    could it be that have the clicker set to headphones and that you are touching the scroll wheel. if not it can be sometimes a normal thing for flash memory MP3 players. Apple have fixed it for mine in 1.1.1
    hope that this helps

  • Every time I click on a song it pops up and says "itunes has stopped working"

    This issue just started randomly in the past few days, I didn't upload any new music. So it can't be a corrupt file. Itunes launches fine, it's when i click on a song (any song) that it immediately pops up with the error message and promptly shuts down.

    I uninstalled, and re-installed quick time. and it fixed all my problems. (:

  • When I input song information into "get info" for each of my songs, some do not save when I close my Itunes. When I click on the song the correct info pops back up.Why?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • There is an exclamation pt. next to several songs in itunes. When I click on that song, it can't locate it. When I click on locate, it pops up a menu with numerous files. I'm afraid to click on the files. What's going on?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • IPod is whirring and clicking between songs

    I have an iPod 160 gb. I received it Dec 25, 2009. I listen to it in the car (connected via a chord built into the car). Lately, when I shut down the car, I can hear the iPod's hard drive shut down. Yesterday evening, I could hear the hard drive whirring and clicking between songs. Otherwise, the hard drive makes no other noises. I should also mention that one of the songs cuts out two seconds into the song and moves immediately onto the next song, but it's working perfectly on my MacBook. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the iPod's hard drive. Thanks in advance!

    I've been searching around the message boards and this seems to be a problem for the click wheel model. I've also experienced this problem. I have tried reseting my ipod and ran the latest version of updater <which only gave me the dreaded exclamation point folder>. I'll take it to my nearest apple store <2 hrs away> but I'm sceptical about the experience.

  • IPod suddenly no longer connects to any computer, hangs and clicks/pops

    I recently (within the last two weeks) started using a program called PodUtil ( http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php ) to manage my music library between my work and home computers. Everything seems to have gone off without a hitch, but as of Friday my iPod started behaving very strangely.
    I was playing a song on it through iTunes on my work computer when all of the sudden the song cut out and iTunes froze up. I was forced to disconnect my iPod manually without disconnecting it through the computer, and when I hooked it back up my entire system locked up until the iPod was once again removed. I plugged it in again and left the system alone and finally fifteen minutes later I got an error message saying that an iPod was detected but the iPod software wasn't installed. Despite this not being true, I uninstalled iTunes and the iPod software, reinstalled them, and finally the iPod worked correctly.
    Until I brought it home and plugged it into my home computer and the exact same problem occurred. I once again uninstalled iTunes and the iPod software but this time it didn't fix the problem. The iPod refuses to connect now to any of the computers I've tried it on (home, work, my roommate's PC and even a work mac) and every time it's plugged in the system hangs until it's disconnected. I have also noticed that when it's plugged in every few minutes there's a loud hum and a clicking/popping sound that reminds me of drive heads failing on a harddrive.
    The iPod itself works fine, I can play everything and it gives me absolutely no trouble. It's when I connect it to a computer that the problems begin.
    I'm at a loss for what to do. I've tried every single thing under the knowledge base including rebooting and reinstalling and nothing's helped. It almost seems like there's a physical problem with the iPod (from the clicking sound) but the clicks never happen during normal operation and I haven't dropped it or anything that would've broken it. It's out of warranty and I'd rather not pay the cost of a new iPod to get this one fixed. Furthermore I took my songs off of my computer to free up space and the last music backup I have isn't entirely recent. But I can't even get it to restore even if I wanted to because it doesn't respond when it's connected. Any help will be great. Thanks!

    - Try another cable. iOS 7 made the iPod/computer more sensiteve to cable problems
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Whenever I click on a song in my itunes library an exclamation point appears and I am no longer able to play this song or video why does this keep happening and what can I do to fix it?

    Whenever I click on a song or video in my library and I try to play it, and exclamation point immediately pops up and it tells me that my song or video's origional file cannot be located. It has happened to over 100 of my songs and I would like to know what is happening and what I can do to fix it. Let me know. Thanks!

    The usual explanation for this is that:
    1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
    2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
    If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.

  • My iTunes account sayscould not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? whenever i click on a song and i didn't move the songs anywhere. I don't know if i saved them to my hard drive so i can't find any songs

    I downloaded something that was told to me to get to put some of my itunes songs onto my android phone. I think it synced my account, though. Whenever i click on a song an exclamation point comes up and something pops up and says "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" and i don't remember ever backing up my songs (this computer is fairly new) and now none of my songs come up. I have no idea what to do but ive spent hundreds of dollars on this account purchasing from the itunes store. Please help me!

    Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks.  When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file.  If something breaks this link then you get !  The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether.  I don't know which has happened in your case.  You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link.  If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back.  If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

  • Faint but regular clicks/pops in MBP (Quad Core 2011, 2.0) headphone output

    I've seen some scattered posts about this. In my case it's definitely not the motion sensor as it happens if the computer is totally still. I can hear it with the audio turned all the way down and no applications running. It happens every 30 seconds or so-- there's a sharp click followed by a faint electrostatic hum for maybe a second or so. I'm sending it in to have it evaluated. I noticed it immediately upon setting it up for the first time. I reinstalled Snow Leopard and reset the PRAM, neither of which helped. If I install one of my audio interfaces (Saffire DSP Pro or M-Audio FW 410 but still using the Core Audio driver) it does not pass through the firewire to the device. Anyone else having this issue? My old MBP (first gen 2.0 GHz Intel w/CoreDuo) does not display this symptom.

    Took my MBP into the Genius Bar and got a replacement and the new machine (out of the box and running Lion, whereas the first one was among the last to ship with SL) behaves identically. I'm wondering if this is a feature, as I'm just now realizing that what I'm hearing may be the audio driver or headphone jack periodically switching on and off. I can make the click happen by doing anything that calls on the core audio driver. This may be clicking on a song in iTunes or even switching between tabs in Firefox if one of them has a lot of streaming content. The click is followed by a little bit of hiss; then, if I do nothing, there's another click maybe 30 seconds later and the headphone port goes completely silent. The 'hiss' is, I suspect, just the normal background noise on the output. When there's actual sound being output (a song, flash video, QT playback etc) there are no clicks or other artifacts. Likewise if I listen to the headphone output for 10-15 mins while doing nothing else (big fun, let me tell you).
    If that's what's happening it's an annoyance but not the end of the world. I can't think of a good reason why it should behave like this (i.e. to save power or otherwise redirect resources) and it reeks of crappy hardware or coding, but if it's not affecting the actual headphone or firewire audio output when sound is happening I can live with it.
    I could be totally off the mark and for all I know tomorrow it could be doing the above and clicking randomly during audio playback. Curious to know if anyone else who is having this symptom sees the same pattern.
    Cheers.

  • Audio question, clicking/popping when adjusting volume?

    Hi all,
    I returned my last touch because of loud hissing when headphones are plugged in. I notice it on higher quality headphones. when i move the volume slider i also hear this clicking/popping noise. Does anyone else hear that when they move the volume slider up and down or is an indication of a problem? it almost sounds like a poor sound effect. any thoughts would be helpful.
    be sure to pause the music/movie when testing...

    ^^^ same here, no hissing but faint pops when adjusting the volume when a song is on pause in the 3/4 to full volume range. Never noticed it until I saw this thread though.

  • Copy Channel strips between songs

    Hi I am working on a mix but its spread over two songs, I want to copy the drums and bass channel strips plugins etc from one song to another. I know if I go to audio config I can copy paste the hole song settings but I only want the first 16 tracks with plugins and fader levels. I tried a simple copy paste on the channels from the enviroment but it didn't seem to work.......

    Unfortunately, you have discovered a missing feature that Logic desperately needs, if it is to continue using the word "Pro" in it's title.
    As you know, you can copy from the audio configuration window, but that will replace all other track assignments, plug-ins etc... not the intended result.
    You can place those 16 tracks on their own environment layer, and import that layer into the second song, but that will only copy volume and panning assignments, not plug-ins, or output assignments.
    It's my opinion, that in this particular situation, this is probably the best approach:
    Save channel strip settings for the first 16 tracks. Open the second song, and load each tracks channel strip. It's not hard to do... just requires a lot of mouse clicks...
    As for volume and pan settings, my advice would be to open both songs at the same time. arrange the first 16 tracks of song 1's mixer at the top of your screen, and the first 16 tracks of song 2 at the bottom of your screen.
    Simply set all the volumes and pans on song two manually, by looking at what's in song 1.
    One trick I would suggest: Before trying to open both songs at once, disable the audio driver from the Audio Hardware & Drivers window. This will save many minutes of the spinning beachball, while Logic tries to load all plug-ins, AI's, etc, from the second song. Since you're only opening them for a visual cue, you won't need the audio driver active for this task. Trust me, doing this will make it go very fast, and save you lots of aggravation, while switching between songs, and resizing the mixer windows to see what's going on.
    Don't forget to turn the audio driver back on, when you're ready to actually hear anything.
    The good news is, you'll probably have all 16 tracks set-up properly, faster than the time it took me to type all of this!
    Hope that helps...

  • Taking a long time between songs, not skipping

    My IPOD will not skip, and it takes a couple minutes between songs. I have tried everything I can think of, any suggestions??

    Hi JMB,
    The printer goes through cleaning processes whenever you turn the printer on, whenever you perform a print job, and in the event that you leave the printer on, it uses an internal clock to determine how long the printer has gone without a cleaning. The cleaning function helps the printer to suck air bubbles or ink itself from the nozzle and thus prevents print quality degradation or nozzle clogging.
    Print quality and media type settings can also determine how long it takes for an item to copy.  For faster copying, you will want to ensure that plain paper is selected as the paper type (unless using a photo or other type of paper), and that either the FAST or STANDARD print quality setting is selected.  
    Hope this helps!

  • Clicking/Popping problem!

    First off, I am using a 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro with 2 GB of RAM as my computer and the Presonus Firestudio Project firewire interface as my interface.
    My problem is when I record enable my track, 50% of the time my guitar sound (that is plugged straight in) has a serious series of clicking/popping noises along with the sound of the guitar.
    One time it was working fine and then once I added a distortion effect to it, the clicks came.
    The clicks are there when I am recording (when software monitoring is enabled) and when I listen to my recorded track in logic. However, when I bounce the song to my desktop, the file is without the clicks.
    If I were to use just the macbook's built in mic, this problem would never happen. Also, the same problem occurred on my old macbook as well. Any ideas??
    Much Thanks

    Also,
    If you're not using the latest driver uninstall the driver you are using by deleteing any files related to Firestudio. I don't know if Spotlight will show you all of them. I use a free application called "Easyfind"
    Install the latest Presonus driver, in the Firestudio Project's mixer applet, look in the menus for "safety mode" and set it to safety mode 1.
    Always install Firewire/USB hardware with the unit unplugged (FW/USB) from the computer, after the drivers are installed plug in the firewire or USB cable and let the computer find the hardware.
    How are you monitoring the guitar?
