Exporting to iTunes: track doesn't start at the beginning

Hi'all
This isn't a specific GB'08 question...I have exported a number of podcasts to iTunes and downloaded them onto my Shuffle. Annoyingly, they tend not to begin at the start of the track, but rather, a few seconds in. It is possible to rewind to the beginning of the track, so it is all there, but I can't encourage the tracks to begin there!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks

One trick is to move the entire podcast/song over a measure or two, so it doesn't start on the downbeat of measure 1, but the downbeat of measure 2.
Command A to select all tracks, and then slide everything over one measure to the right so measure 2 is the new "measure 1."
That way, if a bit of measure 1 disappears, it won't effect your audio since it'll be part of the empty measure before your content begins in measure 2.

Track doesn't start at the beginning

When I play a compilation, the 2nd track starts about 4 seconds in.
Anyone know why this is?

Ed, just a bit more follow up...since you seem to know.
Can you say more about what a "clean" mp3 is? vs one that isn't.
We are using a professional sound engineer who is creating the mp3 files from the ProTools original. I find his technical knowledge to be weak (he's a great sound guy) - and maybe he's creating the problem with the tool he's using to output the mp3.... your help would be appreciated!

I listen to a lot of live performances (house sets that are from 1 hour to 3 hours long) when I start to listen to a set and then stop to do something else on the iPhone when I go back to start to listen to the track it has started from the beginning.

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

Video doesn't start from the beginning

Please tell me there is a setting on the iPod classic to always start a video from the beginning of the video??!?!?! I am using the iPod classic for video projection.
E.g.: I play video #1 until, say, 3:00. I select menu and go to another video or a song, a photo, whatever. I go back to video #1 and it starts at 3:00! WHY?
I want iPod Classic videos to ALWAYS start from the beginning.
Please tell me there is a setting for this.
thank you

I have good news for you, (compared to your other post!).
Select the video in iTunes and click on *File/Get Info* and look on the Options tab. Turn off the tick in *Remember playback position.* You can bulk select some or all your videos to do this.

Last reading restart ... iTunes doesn't start by the beginning Oô

Hi there !
So, here's my problem.
Recently, I downloaded iTunes last version ... And sinse that day, every time I play a song on my computer, this stupid machine starts again where it stopped last time I heared it !
I mean, if the last time I played the song, I switched at 1:32, the song will start reading at 1 minute and 32 seconds, not at the begining ...
And there's also a shortcut problem, if I press the left arrow key, the song doesn't just restart, iTunes think it's a better idea to read the song before in the playlist ...
... Help ? ^^°

Article doesn't start at the beginning...

Hello everyone,
I have created with Adobe Folio an app for iTunes. My problem is, when I move between the article once on my iPad, the Article doesn't jump back to the beginning it always starts where I have left the article. Even when i close the app completely and open it again, it jumps to the point where I have been before. I would like to start always at the beginning of an article, how can i fix this?
Thanks for your help

That's how it works. If you want to reset the folio you can do so by bring
up the nav bars and triple tapping the title.

Share to DVD doesn't start at the beginning

I have a multicam timeline that I am trying to share to DVD. When I test the created DVD it always starts at about 3/4 of the way into the movie. I have exported a master file and I created a DVD in Wondershare Ultimate Converter and it also starts 3/4 of the way into the movie (at the exact same place). I am therefore concluding that it is my timeline that is the causing the problem but I have no idea what to look for. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Slim!
Thanks for the reply. Your screen shot is attached but it is pretty small. The position of the playhead is where the DVDs always begin.
I can only think that there is something going on with the multicam editing. This is the first time I have used it so I may be doing something wrong. Is there some way to "set" the final as a non-multicam clip? I ask this because I tried your idea of making it into a compound clip. I selected all the elements (CMD-a) and then right-clicked and selected New Compound Clip. It did not recognize my cuts but included all of the entire clips. So, undaunted, I undid all of that and tried again. This time it only selected the proper cuts and I put it into a new project. However, the DVD burned from that new project didn't change the outcome.
The funny thing is that all of the quicktime files play correctly, so there is definitely something weird going on.
Taos is great! It is an unbelievably beautiful place. We haven't had much snow this winter, though, although the ski valley has been good, but they are at 9,000 feet and we are only about 7,000.
More ideas anyone?
Catherine
ps .. thanks for the other post but I am not getting that error. My piece is only 7 mins 40 secs and the share is completing.

Config Tool doesn't start from the application list

Hi all,
I have installed Planning, EAS, and Workforce on a server but when I go to configure the tools, the config tool doesn't start from the page where you select the applications to configure. Instead, it starts with all the apps listed with the message: "You have selected the above apps to configure" and it has a Back button but it doesn't work, and it has a Next button and when I press it, it says Done.
I need to configure the database and deploy to the application server.
The Shared services is on a different server and is up and running. Essbase is on a separate server and that's up and running.
I am working with 11.1.1.3 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Windows OS.
If you have run into this, please let me know what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi
First of all I couldnt get your problem as in your query description you have written "sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0" which is contradictory with the query title "Video doesn't start from the beginning".
But anyways I think you should check ns.time in Play.Start there you should get always 0 but in Buffer.Full there may be the case that ns.time is not 0 but has some value but that value is very small less than 1.
If still you have issue please clarify your problem then probably I will be able to answer your query.
Regards,
Amit

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Itunes just won't start after the upgrade

I've upgraded my itunes, and done all the double checks I've found on this site. My itunes just will not start after the upgrade. It's frustrating to say the least because I can't even access my libary or edit my ipod. I've tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling.. please help! I wanted to put my audio books on my ipod for a roadtrip tomorrow!

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+

I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?
Also, can I use music as backround to some of the slides, not to all of them as I'd like to play videos on the others?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
Thank you, I appreciate the help!

Songs won't start at the beginning!

Just got a brand new ipod, and am having a huge problem with songs starting in the middle of the song. Also if I play a few seconds of one song, then skip to the next, and then go back to the original song, it WILL NOT start at the beginning-keeps going to back to wherever it stopped playing! It still does this if I turn it off and back on. Nothing seems to work. Anyone know why?

Hello msjazzer,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you made sure your tracks' Start and Stop time have not been altered within iTunes? To do this locate the tracks you are having issues with. From there, highlight them, right -> click on them and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut pop up menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. First make sure the Start time is set to the beginning of the song and the Stop time is set to the end.
Also make sure the "remember playback position" option is not ticked as well from under this same tab. If you make any changes hit OK and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
Otherwise, perhaps you could take a look at this Apple support document.
