Hiccupping/skipping when I play the first file upon login (iTunes 7.0.2)

When I first logon and play an audio file on iTunes, it hiccups after about two seconds. After that it plays fine, but it's seriously annoying - it makes me think there's something wrong. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thanks for any input.

I figured out what the problem was.
My audio interface is what skips. Perhaps it's initializing itself and there's a delay. When I plug straight into my headphone jack, there's no problem. But when I try listening through my audio interface, it skips.

  • My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

    My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?

  • I'm trying to play an .mp4 video, but it does not display smoothly; image is jumpy.  The sound is fine, but the image starts and stops.  When I play the same file in WMV, displays just fine.

    Any suggestions on what I can try to clear this up?  Videos that I have downloaded through iTunes work just fine.  I don't know how to troubleshoot this file to see what is causing the issue.

    Ok then tell me this what is that DVD your having problem watching then? And what Region Code are you from like Euro is Region 2 and so on??? Could be the Region problem on the DVD doesn't match your drive Region as well?

  • How do I control window size in InDesign when I open the first file after starting up?

    The first document always takes up my entire computer screen. I resize everything and then subsequent documents open to the resized size. But how can I avoid having to resize the first document to begin with? It's getting annoying.

    Bob is correct. Window > Application Frame. Resize it the way you like and it stays that way.

    Try Deleting it from your device, then download again from purchase history.
    Hope this helps

  • I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

    What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
    It should work with the images side by side.
    You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
    Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
    And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • HT1535 Hi, I have downloaded photos from my PC from one file. When I try to download more the first file is removed from the ipad?

    Just acquired a new ipad and managed through itunes to download a file of photographs onto the ipad. When I then want to put more photo files on the ipad it removed the first file. The drop down message on itunes only allows me browse folders. What am I doing wrong>

    That is how it works. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • When combining pdfs, the 1st page of the first file is lost (acrobat standard 9.4)

    Hi,
    When i combine two files in acrobat 9.4, the process loses the 1st page of the first file. I have to manually copy in the missing page from the original.
    Does anyone have any workarounds/fixes?
    The process used to work ok with adobe acrobat standard v7.0.8.
    The two files are PDF 1.4 and PDF1.5 standards.
    Thanks
    Raj

    I am not very clear at which step you are facing issue. Below is the sequence in order to scan more pages from Acrobat:
    1. Launch Acrobat. Click menu File->Create PDF->From Scanner....
    2. "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear. Select your scanner installed in Scanner dropdown. Check 'Prompt for scanning more pages' checkbox as you want to scan more than one page. Click Scan button in "Acrobat Scan" dialog.
    3. Now scanner UI will appear. Make setting like color mode/resolution and click Scan button(or may be Accept button) in this dialog. (This is scanner specific ui)
    4. After this scanning will happen and "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear with "Scan is Complete" and "Scan more pages" option.
    5. Select "Scan more pages" option and click OK in this dialog to scan more pages.
    6. Now again scanner UI will appear as in step 3 above. Make your settings and proceed.
    Do you see scanner UI or "Acrobat Scan" dialog in step6? Are you not able to click Scan(or Accept) button in scanner UI?

  • How can I play the whole album, when I double click on the album it only plays the first track?

    Make sure all the tracks are check-marked.

  • Playcenter 3.02.70 is lately only playing the first 10 secs of music files ?!

    For some reason, and I am not able to figure out what it is, Playcenter 3.02.70 (windows xp) is only playing the first 0 seconds of every midi/mp3 file!
    This is so weird, I haven't experienced this ever in all the many years I have used my soundblaster soundcard and using (this or other versions of) Playcenter. There is nothing in the settings that relate to this option, nor do I know what may have caused this problem.
    I ran an online virusscanner (Kapersky) for the first time after I noticed this (no viruses, as expected).
    I haven't altered any files in the creative directory, or anywhere else as far as I know. I simply don't know what triggered this highly unusual behaviour.
    Any clues to this mystery?

  • When Photoshop CC is executed, the first File- Open takes 30 seconds and every File- Open after that is instant. Why is this?

    I have Photoshop CC in my Laptop.  When I first load it/execute photoshop, File -> Open  it takes approx 30 seconds to return a selection.  If I do another File -> Open after this it is instant.
    If I Quit Photoshop and reload it the first File -> Open takes another 30 seconds and then instant.  It is only the first Occurrence.
    I have a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD 4GB RAM.
    If I do  start -> Photoshop -> Previously used file it loads no problem.
    If I try the same things with Photoshop CS5 no problem.
    Why?
    Forgot to add that I am running windows 7 x64 if that makes a difference.
    I have found the problem.  I disconnected the internet from my laptop and it worked instantly.  So Adobe you need to improve your response times on this facet of the login as it is a pain.
    Now I will stop looking for problems with my system....
    Please advise if there is a work around...
    Thanks

    Looking at my dbus messages above, the following section from pacman.log looks very suspicious:
    $ grep disk /var/log/pacman.log
    [2010-03-26 22:57] installed devicekit-disks (009-5)
    [2010-03-26 22:57] installed gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1)
    [2010-04-01 07:52] removed devicekit-disks (009-5)
    [2010-04-01 07:52] installed udisks (1.0.0-2)
    [2010-04-01 07:53] upgraded gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1 -> 2.30.1-1)
    [2010-04-10 11:07] upgraded udisks (1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-1)
    No time currently to check if downgrading these helps. Also looks kinda complicated because udisks replaces devicekit-disks.
    This also looks somehow related: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de … 0f49cd9b53
    Edit:
    OK, the symptoms can be replicated with the following command sequence:
    sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus restart
    udisks --dump # <-- this takes forever.. 24 seconds on my system
    udisks --dump # <-- any subsequent calls finish instantly, 0.043 seconds on my system

    Delete the song from your library and re-download it from the Purchases section of the iTunes Store.

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)
