Has anyone had any success solving the stuttering problem in iTunes?

A few months ago, my iTunes began skipping after playing fine for twenty minutes or so.  The skips or stutters then get closer and closer together until it is simply unlistenable.  A restart finds the tunes that skipped before now working fine, but with new ones eventually stuttering.  My RAM and HD space are in good shape.  Advisors have offered assistance, but to no avail.  (Neither was familiar with the problem).  Judging from the number of entries one gets when Googling "iTunes skipping", I'd say this is a well-documented problem, yet nobody connected with Apple seems to know exactly what I'm talking about.  I've tried fixing permissions, re-installing Snow Leopard, resetting PRAM, safe-booting;  my next step is uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, which disheartens me because of all the people who have tried it to no avail.  Any ideas?

To be honest if you had experienced it you would know exactly what i am talking about. I am running a top of the range retina display and get a bad laging issues when doing something a simple as maybe changing the volume of a kick in ultra beat and it will freeze for 30 odd seconds. it shouldnt be happening with such a powerful machine. I have reinstalled it, i have tried it in loew res i have tried it in 64 bit all of which still have the same issue. Even after being in to the apple store and being on the phone numerous times i still havent come to a conclusion therefore i was trying to gauge if anyone else had the same issues or if apple just need to hurry up and release an update.

  • TS1702 Has anyone had any issues with the app scramble with friends after updating to iOS 6. The touch screen is not responding properly when selecting the tiles but worked fine before the update

    Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

    Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

  • Has anyone had any success in correcting Maps mistakes?

    On multiple occasions I've submitted a correction using the function within Maps to report errors, but nothing is ever done.  Has anyone ever had any success in getting Apple's attention and getting something fixed?  Or is the submitting a correction feature just a black hole?  I've had to tell friends with iPhones to always use Google Maps rather than Apple to navigate their way to my house because Maps has completely mislabeled the street outside my development.  It sure would be nice if they had a human being you could call...

    The map data is not directly from Apple. Map data comes from Tom Tom and other map data suppliers. Corrections sent to Apple are then sent to the data suppliers. They update on their schedules. You can provide addtional feedback to Apple about your concerns at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • Convert EBS RDF to XMLP - anyone had any success with the converter

    I have converted the ARXCAR rdf to XML Publisher which was surprising simple. However getting it to work seems to be a different matter. The PL/SQL contained multiple bugs which were easily fixed. The dataTemplate contains lexicals for KFF's which don't work and I have already posted a message here and raised a TAR. Working round the lexical issue I ran into a NULL POINTER EXCEPTION dead end.
    The base report for this conversion is not overly complex in the EBS scheme of things and I am just wondering if anyone has had any success in converting EBS reports with this utility?

  • Has anyone had any success in downloading their phonebook to a Prius

    I have a 04 Prius and I am wondering if anyone ever had any success in downloading their contacts/numbers to a Prius and if so how did they do it.

    I just set up my 3g iphone with a 2009 Prius this weekend. I was NOT able to transfer my phonebook so I had to enter all the contacts manually. This took quite some time but was successful. I was also able to set up the voice calling feature, with help from the Prius forms I might add. The phone syns up every time I get in the car and seems to dial correctly and everything is clear on both ends. I would have to say that everything is as is should be.

  • Has ANYONE had any success installing 2.0?

    Before I take the plunge, has anyone had success updating to 2.0? I am sure there must be some who are enjoying themselves now, so if you have been successful, was there a trick or are some people simply having problems?

    Yes - I just upgraded to 2.0 about an hour and a half ago. I was fighting an issue with not being able to backup my phone prior to the upgrade (unknown error -43, which I finally tracked down to iTunes not playing nicely with a redirected Application Data folder). I ended up backing up the phone on my laptop and running the upgrade from there. Entire process took about 30 minutes to download the update, upgrade the phone, restore my settings, etc. - and it even activated immediately upon completion, and I had two new text messages that came through right away . . .

  • Has anyone had any success downloading their eTextbooks for Chegg?

    Would just like to know because college classes are coming up for me and was thinking of getting my textbook through my Ipad Air (even though it's highly expensive from that too unfortunatley).  Wondering if anyone tried downloading from it and had any problems like maybe not enough space, any errors where the textbook didn't show up on screen, etc. Also if it's possible, can you recommend me some cheap textbook or websites? Please andt thank you.
    I have a 16GB Ipad Air btw and hope I can be able to download this: http://www.chegg.com/textbooks/beginning-and-intermediate-algebra-3rd-edition-97 80073384375-0073384372?trackid=48188d5f&autosuggest=1&uqry=beginning+and+in&ii=3

  • Has anyone had any success with an external antenna on a UMW190?

    Although I am getting good service from my UMW190 without an external antenna, I am in a low signal area and would like to have rock solid coverage.
    I have tried a 1900Mhz yagi, a blade antenna, an omni, and a grid antenna.  I am not seeing any difference in signal strength at all regardless of whether or not an antenna is connected and which way it is pointed.  I have also tried two different pigtails form two different sources, and even borrowed a second UMW190 and tried it, all with no success. I know exactly where the tower serving my house is located, but I did try each of the directional antennas in a full 360 degree circle, stopping every few degrees to see if the RSSI improved. I tried both polarities too, although I understand it should be vertical.
    When  I contacted Verizon customer support they had very little information about it.  I contacted Pantech, and they told me that support for this device is now handled by UTstarcom.  UTStarcom told me that support for this device is now handled by Personal Communication Devices.  When I contacted them the response was (and I quote) "We don't have any information on any external antenna support of our devices".
    So I throw myself on the mercy of the Gurus here in the forum.
    Am I missing something obvious?  Is there a command that "activates" the external antenna connector? Does the connector even have anything connected to it inside the modem?
    Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!
    -Rick

    Usually the external antenna works best where service is obstructed  by certain materials and the external antenna is placed in a different area .  If the signal is steady for the external antenna and the UMW190 in the area where you are using the devices, that would be the general signal strength of that area.

  • Has anyone had any issues with the sleep indicator light?

    I have a 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz (Late 2009) and recently I have noticed some issues involving the sleep indicator light and my Mac sleeping.
    I learned that the sleep indicator light is supposed to be on when you press the power button until the chime sounds and then its supposed to be recognized when the computer sleeps or when the lid is closed.
    Lately, the sleep indicator light has not be working when the computer boots (it still chimes), when the computer shuts down or when the computer is sleeping. The computer still sleeps if you close the lid, but it acts up when you don't and use the Apple menu (Apple > Sleep), keyboard shortcuts (CmdOptionMedia Eject) or use the power button and select "Sleep". Usually when I use this method instead of closing the lid, the authentication login window appears and when I click "cancel", the computer sleeps.
    But still the sleep indicator light does not appear any time. I'm wondering if I need to get my Mac serviced. I still have a 2-year Best Buy Geek Squad warranty on the MacBook Pro.
    +It is weird that this is happening to me, cause my computer is only 1 year and 4 months old.+
    Is there anything you know that would help fix this issue.

    The microUSB cables are fairly common... most portable electronics today use them for file transfer/charging.
    If the user does not own one, they can be purchased from most retailers fairly inexpensively.

  • Has anyone had any issues with the most recent update?

    I just did the latest software update for my Apple TV, and now the little light is blinking fast, and the only picture on the screen is of the Apple TV with a white cable leading to the iTunes icon. Any ideas what's going on with my Apple TV? I tried unplugging it, but it didn't change a thing.. Any ideas or suggestions on the way ahead are much appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Has anyone had any trouble with the Move tool in Photoshop (v14.2.1)? I'm getting a dimmed bounding box akin to the transform bounding box, but this one won't let me apply or escape.

    Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.

    Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

  • Has anyone found any solution for the noise problem for an iMac 21.5"?

    I have recently bought a new iMac 21.5" 1TB.  There is constant noise which sounds like it comes from the disk drive.   It is very loud and annoying and you can hear it 10 ft away even.  I took it to the Apple store and of course it is too noisy in the store for them to hear it.  I left it at the store for them to check and you guess it, they did not notice any disk drive problem and return back to me.   I am not an advanced users and I tell you I am not complaining out of the blue and it is not my imagination.  After digging through the community, I seem to find a number of threads indicating that there is noise issue on the iMac.  
    Now I am worried that I have returned my iMac.  If this is not a defect, I am thoroughly disappointed in Apple for designing such a crappy product.  How can they let a product like that out?  
    Before I give up, does anyone out there have any advice?  Is my only option now return the unit?

    Millions have not had a problem so perhaps yours is due to a bad install. What troubleshooting steps have you done? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new are steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.

  • Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

    Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it.  Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together?  I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day...  yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first.  Sorry to say this is a major lemon.  Help!

    Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem...  got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem.  My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion.  Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem....  Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh  No problem!  Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today!  I'm getting mad...  It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer .  & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update.  I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride...  & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to  start over. When are they going to fix this!   'Not feeling very positive'.  I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system.  14 days... oh please...
