Everytime i play music on Itunes Mac Pro, it's halting.

Everytime i play music on Itunes Mac Pro, it's halting.
The music is on and off by itself. Ive been tried to re-install the OS (updated app), updated iTunes (iTunes 11), hv been tried downgrade the itunes to 10.7. But none of them working.
FYI:
- songs imported from CD, bought from istore.
- rainbow (loading mark) shows often
- has been tried Repair Disk utilities.
what should i do?

Re: difference in folder and library size.
I discovered something ALARMING yesterday. The first part of this ISN'T it, but...
I have 86.09 Gb of music in the iTunes Media folder in Finder, between music and audiobooks, on my hard drive.
My Music library (in iTunes) is 61.70Gb, the audiobooks total 16.32Gb That comes to just over 78Gb per iTunes. So why the 8Gb discrepancy?
First, let me point out I have no album artwork for ANYTHING in my library - I removed it ALL last week as a space saving measure, which is relevant to a point I'll bring up later.
Since Snow Leopard, OS X uses a decimal count for noting file sizes. 1,000Mb is a Gigabyte, NOT 1024Mb - That's why a 500Gb HD actually says 499Gb instead of 465Gb like Windows.
iTunes however, uses a Binary count for file size. So what iTunes shows for library size will NOT be the same as what FInder shows for the same files.
Here's what I was alarmed about though:
After removing (supposedly deleting) all my album artwork, I was poking around in Finder and found that my iTunes folder had FOUR iTunes Music Library.xml files, at about 40Mb each.
There were also five iTunes Library.itl.old files in addition to the iTunes Library.itl and they were each about 40Mb. My Album Artwork folder was 2.1Gb AFTER removing ALL artwork from my entire library.
I deleted the contents of the Album Artwork folder and trashed ALL itl and xml files, which netted me another 2.4Gb of HD space.
I had to reload ALL my songs and audiobooks (which took about half an hour) but now I only have ONE itl file and ONE xml file for my library, and the artwork folder is now empty. In previous iTunes versions, if I deleted Artwork it DIDN'T remain in the artwork folder. Now that I KNOW it won't delete unless I go in and do it, I won't be adding any artwork to ANYTHING in my iTunes library again.
Theres' a lot of stuff that iTunes holds onto when it should be deleted... when I thought it WAS deleted.

Win XP Blue Screen of Death while playing music in iTunes

For the past two weeks I have been trying to fix a problem with my computer, that crashes everytime i play music in itunes.
The music stops playing, or gets hung up on one note for several minutes, my screen freezes, and then I get a blue screen with error message 0x0000007A.
I have already done checks of the hard drive and RAM and according to the computer's diagnostics there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
I tried re-installing itunes but this does not help.
Any ideas?
Dell Inspiron 6000 Windows XP Pro

im just gonna keep all sound disabled at first. then if there are no errors, ill enabled onboard, still if none, ill put audigy in a different PCI Slot and update drivers. come to think of it I dont think its drivers were the most recent ones...
by the way, I have a question about my motherboard. In another forum on this site I told about my problems with it (rather, my stupidity). At first I put the backplate on the motherboard with no insulating thing on it (had ripped it all off lol) so I had powered on the comp many many times shorting out the circuits surrounding the cpu socket. When we took it off, we pryed it off (was very hard because it was sticking), being careful not to scratch any circuits. My question is, is it possible that damaged the motherboard, and is causing my problems with the blue screen? It seems to me that if Ive made it this far (played games on the comp at full load and what not) then the motherboard must be fine. But I could be wrong..?

My mac book pro has no sound when i try to play music in iTunes

When I try to play music in iTunes, either from my library or the iTunes store there is no sound. Anywhere else the sound is fine. This just happens in tunes. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much - that was the problem. We just got apple TV and that was device selected. Once I changed the selection to the macbook, problem solved.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my plea for help.

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

Bleeping/Glitches when playing music in iTunes

Hi,
Just the last couple of days i have noticed when i am playing music from iTunes on my 15" Mid 2010 Macbook Pro, I am getting intermittent digital noises like bleeping and weird audio glitches.
It is almost like an 8 bit type song which are so popular these days!
Now i know its not the encoding of the music as its happening on all different tracks when listening on random. It is also happening when i listen on headphones, through speakers connected through jack or through the built in speakers.
At present it is intermittent and will get progresively worse during a song and then I could skip and it will stop again.
I have never ex[erience anything like this before with an apple product. At present i am not seeing any visual glicthes when watching video and the laptop does not appear to be acting up in any other way, which hopefully means its not a logic board issue.
Anybody ever heard of or experienced this before? Can anybody help out?
The laptop is obviously not under warranty anymore otherwise i would just take it in, but at present i'm hoping i can diagnose and sort the problem with the aid of the the internet!
Any help/suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks

Hello TheDonsCheek,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

See if you have most of the songs with 'Exclamation' symbol precede the name under your music library.
If so, double click a song with ! mark on side, you will be given an option to locate the file where the song is held. Select "locate" and direct it to your External Drive folder / file where the song is and open it.
iTunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will fix all automatically instead of doing them one by one.
