Distortion/stutter/computer freezes between songs with itunes 7.0.2.16

Everything was fine with itunes 6.x; then I upgraded to 7.0.2.16. Now when I play itunes on the Sony computer, for 10 to 15 seconds between songs the music is distorted or stutters when the crossfader is on. When the crossfader is OFF, then the distortion is gone, but the computer still freezes. Also itunes freezes for this time period. I have noticed the following: CPU usage shoots up from 6% to 70%. If I am using any other application (ie. program, email, etc.) it freezes for these few seconds. I have to stop playing/close itunes to do anything else on the computer. I have tried all the suggestions Apple has listed, Q time settings, updating the sound card driver, etc. to no avail!
The only solution I have found was to convert my itunes library to MP3, and created a play list in Windows Media Player. Every thing is fine, the music plays GREAT! itunes at one time was state of the art, now just junk!
Any help would be most appreciate!

I am having the same exact problem. My computer freezes for 3-5 seconds when the song has about 5 seconds left. I think it may have to do with the new "gapless" playback. This is garbage, I can't even use iTunes anymore. Have you been able to find any answers. If not, I just want to downgrade, but I don't know if that is possible.
I tried to install an older version but iTunes said that I have an newer version of iTunes on the computer, which is true, but the new version, 7.0.2.16, is not working. I hope someone finds something back from Apple because I don't want to reorganize all my music due to their bug.

Actually I have the same problem. It's really funny how if I go back to iTunes 6.x I don't have any problems at all, but as soon as 7.01 is installed it does this stuff.
I have Crossfader turned off, Safemode on, lowered the sample rate in Quicktime. I have the newest drivers for my Soundcard, and for Direct X
This is a REAL problem, I use iTunes to listen to the TONS of music that I purchased on the iTunes Music Store while I play World of Warcraft. This stinking total machine freeze totally hoses my game play.
I wish that Apple would look into WHY suddenly it takes a huge amount of System resources to change to another song in this version, when in the previous unbuggy version it took little to no system resources for iTunes to change to another song (and this was with Crossfader and sound Enchancer ON)
Perhaps the new Gapless Playback feature is causing the problem. I would turn it off, but I don't see the control to do so.
It would be nice to see an Apple Rep actually acknowledge a problem with the Windows version of iTunes, and give us a timeframe for when it will be fixed.

HT1420 I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Hi again,
After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

RAZR V3i is very slow when syncing songs with iTunes

My V3i use to sync songs with iTunes pretty fast, but after updating iTunes it syncs very slow, and half the time just hangs.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any tips?
Thanks!

iTunes stalls loading a mp3 on my phone when that mp3 is currently being played.

Viewing songs with Itunes 7

When I click on the ipod icon in itunes it just shows a display of the ipod saying, update, restore...etc.. then it has tabs that say music, photos etc...
but is there a way to view the songs like in itunes v6?
how can i delete/view etc... songs with itunes v7
please help

Click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.

Itunes freezes between songs

A couple of seconds after itunes segues from one song to the next the player freezes - the clock doesn't move for about six seconds, you can't click on any other songs or playlists. Additionally, and more concerning, is that sometimes during this freeze period, the player sometimes goes into some sort of digital frenzy- jumbling the music in a weird but very annoying way. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Itunes/computer freezes purchased songs and download begin

purchased songs from itunes download freezes computer.
my internet connection is perfect.
amazon download perfect.
i re-install itunes tried again same thing happen freezes again.
problem itunes store download.
what is problem?
could you help.

Have you tried using "Disk Utility" to repair your disk permissions? You may want to contact AppleCare for assistance on this one, sounds like it may be something else then just iTunes.

All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

IPhone Backup Freezes Halfway Through with iTunes

When connecting my iPhone 4 to a USB 2.0 Port, and attempting to backup, the backup begins and somewhere between start and finish freezes. The software and the phone still appear to be backing up but it never completes. I can delete my backup and start from scratch and it will do the same thing.
I have all antivirus software disabled. All drivers are up-to-date. BIOS is most current version for my Dell Desktop.
Does the same thing if I create a new user and attempt to backup.
I have uninstalled all iTunes software per the required procedure and reinstalled, still the same result.
Has anyone experienced this and can shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
John

Error when trying to purchase songs with iTunes account

Hi, is anyone able to help with this.
I am tryig to purchase some songs with my iTunes account (it is inn credit by about £6) but an error keeps coming up every time i try to purchase a song or if i try to view my account details. It is as if i am putting the password in wrong but i know that i am not. I have even reset the password now 3 times and it always seems as if it has gone through successfully but then when i try to purchase a song or view my account details again, the same error is coming up.
The error message is as follows:
*'We could not commplete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808) There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later'*
This message has been coming up all day though. Does anybody have any idea if i am doing anything wrong or whether there is a technical fault with iTunes? I have downloaded the updated version as well so it can't be because i have the older version.
Thanks,

Welcome to AD!
The top 4 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) Time or time zone not correct on your PC.
3) The culprit was Norton. Ggo to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.)
4) Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences.
Close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. You'll need to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store.
