Getting audio dropouts when a song starts playing.....but not all the time

I have a 80GB Ipod. Use it mostly in my truck/car (have a IPOD interface in each). Usually use the shuffle mode for playing songs. It seems that as of a couple days ago I will get a audio drop out right after a song starts playing (one or two seconds into the song). Only lasts for a second or so but it does not happen on every song....there has not been a pattern that I can see (not every other song ot every thitrd song....just random..........) But it is always in the same place in the song......always one or two seconds after the song starts playing. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it? Thanks

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Error 4280 when trying to burn a CD...but not all the time

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I have never had issues before but in the last few days it has been HORRIBLE.
I have brand new CDs to burn to and sometimes I get an error to insert a blank disc(how can it not be it is brand new)
Other times I try to burn a disc and get:
"the attempt to burn a disc failed an unknown error occured(4280)
I have deauthorized and reauthorized my PC. Some of the songs I am burning are ones I loaded from a CD that I had burned one before with NO problems.
I have wasted at least 10 CDs in the last few days trying to get this to work.
I have checked EVERYWHERE for a list of Error Code numbers but I can find it anywhere.
It will check playlist then start to "write" a song and it stops.
ANY help would be appreciated I am seriously losing my mind!!
I made sure I had the latest version of ITunes and upgraded last night to be sure and I am the admin on my PC and I am the only one that uses it.
I was able to burn one this AM and then the next one the errors happened again.
I have seen a lot of fixes that ask if my drive is
Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive
It is not when I did the diagnostic to figure out my drive I get this(and I have tried burning as low as 4X
The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4280(0x000010b8). It happened on drive F: PHILIPS CDD4851 CD-R/RW on CDR media at speed 8X.
Is there ANYONE that can help or at least point me in the correct direction
Thank you

I've done a little bit of searching on google and had no idea that this problem has been happening for YEARS... The ONLY solution I saw was for this Sony Driver, which i'm sure everyone here already seen... I haven't had any problem burning until iTunes 8.0...
Anyway, I tried that (Sony Drive), even tried the RegCure (whatever) but it wasn't exactly "Free", so that was a dead end... I even tried lower burning speeds...still nothing... As you know, I have two discs left to burn for a friend...
I just gave up on iTunes and burned it with my Windows Media Player... Just lucky for me, I burn all my purchases from iTunes to an Audio CD in case something happens to my CPU (also so I can import to my Xbox 360)... And once I do that, I re-import them so I can listen to the albums on my WMP...
But as I was saying, I just used my WMP to burn the album that wouldn't burn in iTunes... After everything burned fine, I went back to iTunes for the other disc and suprise, suprise...it burned without any problem... WTH, right?¿?
It may have something to do with the discs i'm using... Because I inserted a Maxell Pro discs to "test" the burn out in iTunes... It burned without a hitch (before I used the above method) but because of this, I only let it burn for 5 seconds; because it usually cancels out in 3 from the error... I was only trying to test the burn, and was surprised that it started burning... It was a better quality discs and I didn't want to burn the album that I was testing on it... I tried to cancel but 5 seconds was too long...ruined the disc.. lol
So for clarity the disc i'm getting the error with is a Memorex disc... And its possible that they are to cheap...which was pointed out during my research online... But the problem with that theory is, I already burned 12 discs using those Memorex discs; so why NOW do I constantly get the error?¿? I couldn't be, totally the fault of disc quality...but then again who knows...
All I know is, as of now...I was able to burn another CD on iTunes after burning 1 from WMP first... Since I don't have anything else to burn (or that I want to) at the moment; as far as I know, i'm just waiting to get the error again... Which from my history could be 4-6 more disc down the line...
Another possibility could be that I actually burned the CD when I had WMP open... Maybe iTunes burning needs a "crutch" to be free from the error and after you burn one; you can burn a few CD's without worry of the error...
Sorry to be throwing so many "theories" out there, but having something to work on, is better than nothing... Once I have other CD's to burn, i'll come back with an update and tell you how many burns I got with iTunes before I got the error again...
Disclaimer:
This is just my experience... I realize that many people have tried all sorts of CD-R discs and different burning software/hardware/whatever and they still get an 4280 error... I'm not trying to create false hope, as i've seen being pointed out from frustrated users...
So to summarize, individual results may vary... :P

Start-up Disc Corrupted all the time

Start-up Disc Corrupted all the time
MacBook Pro early 2008 running 10.6.4 and Windows 7.
My MBP, early 2008, 2.5 GHz, 4GB Memory, HARD Disc 250 GB Hitachi (HTS 542525K9SA00) needs disc repair and erase and reinstall ever 5 days or so. This problem started in 10.6.3 and is continuing in 10.6.4. Which was updated by combo 10.6.4 and backed up with time capsule/time machine.
Even though it will not start up on Mac 10.6.4 it will still boot up on Windows 7. It will also boot up with the Snow leopard disc and repair. However some times even after the repair it will not boot up and I have to reinstall 10.6 + about 5 times
I have completely erased and zeroed out and reinstalled twice but I still get the problem about 4 days later. This was necessary because even though the disc was repaired successfully it would still not boot up.
In reading about Resolving Disk Corruption at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html#Anchor-Using-47857
The article suggests that a 'Bad Sectors' can cause this problem and suggest a complete zeroed out rein install, which I have done, They also recommend the purchase of DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. Both are around US$95 on line. Which one is the best to purchase?? They say that TechTool Pro can identify a 'Bad Sector'
The article also suggested Bad sectors can be an early indication of a hard drive that will eventually need to be replaced.
I have now order a new 320 GB Hitachi HB from USA and it will take about 14 days to arrive. I have also completely erased and reinstalled again, but this time I have not reinstalled window 7.
I have also reset the power and PRAM a number of times but it made no difference to the problem.
I have not shut down the MacBook and I am leaving it in sleep mode as the problem really only seems to come about when the MacBook has been shutdown for a day or two.
I am quite sick of reinstalling. Has anyone else had this problem and is it my HD or software issue???
I have also reset the power and PRAM a number of times but it made no difference to the problem.

When I upload a cvs file not all the column display in the Data / Table Mapping screen

1. I have created application using Apex Data Loading wizard. There when I am trying to load data from .csv file, but not all the columns display in the "Data / Table Mapping" screen. But if I go through AQL --> Utility --> Data Workshop, there all column display in "Data / Table Mapping" page. I want to get same thing in application I created. How will get all columns display in the screen?
2. Is there any way to select target table dynamically during runtime. So that in appication we can select different target tables with different source file to load data.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.

I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Phone makes "morse code" sound when in use, not all the time but quite frequently. The sound does not come from the speakers, infact it comes from the comments inside the phone.

When in use my phone makes a quiet buzzing noise coming not from the speakers but the actual phone. It does not do it all the time but it is quite frequent, my phone is an iPhone 5. Please can you tell me what the problem is?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. This is not normal and is probably not something that a user can fix.

My ipad has started jumping from app to app. Games act erratically. Not all the time. Any ideas?

My ipad has started jumping from App to App. Games acting erratically. Doesn't happen ALL the time. ANY ideas?

Close all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close ..close them all! Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When I export a playlist and then open in excel, do whatever sorting I want, I then save the file and reimport into itunes but not all the songs are there. It appears to be from "comma's" in the song name. Any solutions?

I see songs such as "Monday, Monday" or "Paint It, Black" or even the artist name such as "Fireballs, with Jimmy Gilmer" which have comma's in them, being a problem when I try to do the following:
1. Export a playlist which contains songs which are all there and play fine, but some have comma's in the title such as listed above.
2. I then open that file in Excel and bring it in as a Tab-delimited file. Everything lays out fine, and all the songs are thing (including those with comma's).
3. I then sort the varoius fields I want (which I can't do in i-tunes because i-tunes won't sort it properly), and resave the file as a newly named file, which is also a .txt file.
4. I then import that playlist into my itunes. It is exactly the same songs that I just had exported but i-tunes says some of the songs can't be found.
I have traced this problem to comma's in the file name of the song such as listed above. There must be a solution to this either as the file is opened in excel or in how it's saved or some other solution short of having to rename song/artists without using comma's.
Thanks.

The additional problem is the file name of the song itself. Even if I were able to delete the commas or replace with a space for example, changing the file name would result in itunes not being able to find the file. I would have to go through each file (out of about 15,000+ songs) to find any that have titles such as described in this thread and change not only the song and artist in the fields, but changing the mp3 file itself.
I fear that I am really pretty much going to have to start with a list of songs that have no comma and then do a file compare to find those songs with commas and then just physically moving them into a new playlist I'm trying to create, but this is a royal pain as I want to be able to create a variety of playlists based on these chart dates/peak positions.
I'm trying to sort the songs in this manner: I use different fields in itunes so that I can put the "peak position" of each song based on Billboard charts, as well as the date the peak position was acheived. I use the "comment box" for that. I use the "grouping" field for my peak position.
So I end up with something like "10/14/1980" in the comment box as the peak position for a song which is in the grouping field, and so forth. If I try to sort the comments column in itunes for example, it won't sort properly. If I sort the Grouping field, it will bring up all the "1's", but that's followed by "10", 11, ...19, then "2", etc. This is why I want to export the playlist and sort it as I want, and then reimport the playlist into itunes.
What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is a year-by-year peak position playlist so that I end up with every #1 song (in this case) from, say, January 1st 1980 and then every #1 song in sequential order for the rest of the year falls in line. I have chart position dates from 1955 through 1999. I have entered in all the data from Billboard books I own so I can really create some amazing playlists, but these commas are problematic. Had I known this ahead of time I would have made "Monday, Monday" as "Monday Monday" and not included commas, but it's too late for that.
Any suggestions?

Get's stuck, wont work, have to close and reopen all the time. Like the program is frozen, and I can not click on anything.

just started after updating to newest firefox. I will go on my email, check out what's going on and then when I try to click on another email it stops working, and my hand icon gets bright and transparent as if to tell me this program is locked or frozen. I close, reopen, works fine for a few emails, and then does it again. very frustrating. I was fine with the old firefox, can i get it back?
Thanks, Peggy Smith

Can see song on mac but not at the spot placed on shuffle

Hi,
My son's problem is he placed a song at a
certain place on his ipod shuffle. It can be seen
when it's mounted on our mac but it's not at that
place when he's listening.
Thanks for any suggestions
Robert

I noticed that recently. I think it's a bug in iTunes (not sure when it started). I put a song (actually a podcast) first on the iPod's ordered list, as seen in iTunes. I see iTunes sync with the shuffle. When I play the shuffle in sequential play mode, it is not first. I used to do this often, so I know it worked before.
My work-around - After moving the song, click on the column header for Artist or Name (anything to change the sort order). Then, after iTunes syncs the change, click back on the left-most column header to change the sort order back to load order (the one where you can move songs around). When the iTunes updates the shuffle again, it seems to update the shuffle properly and that song will play in the correct order (on the iPod).
I wrote a bug report here,
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
so if it's the same thing I described, you may want to do the same thing, just so Apple has another report.

Logic 9 Audio and Video sync at beginning timecode, but not in the middle of playback.

Hey Guys,
I'm working on a Trailer for a feature length, and my video playback is pretty screwy.
I've double checked the video to be 23.976 framrat and set my project to that framrate, and I've done what I normally do with bitrate and sample rate. But currently my audio and video will not sync together when I start playback in the middle of my project.
Playback works fine in the start of the project, and everything looks and sounds great. But as I'm writing and edtiting further on in the project all the audio gets out of sync. If I start the project from the beginning, then all of the MIDI for the whole piece registers as synced, and the project sounds and looks great the whole way through. The problem comes from starting playback anywhere in the middle of the project.
I'm working with a .mov file (1:45 minutes); three .AAC audio files, and plenty of thrid-party plug-ins. 10.7.5 Mac OS X, 2.2 GHz i7 core, and 4GB m
of memory.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Thanks guys for the input.
I am using an Aurora 16 via firewire
I did change my buffer settings and that seemed to fix it but now I am at 128. I moved over to the aurora because I preferred the extra headroom. I guess I should have stuck with the apogee.
Tonight was the first time I had the opportunity to do a full tracking session with 9. I have been doing quiet a bit of mastering with no issues. Quiet a few issues. Everything from logic quitting to it just locking up. So far.....a pretty bad experience. I wonder if it could be Snow Leopard.......
