I-pod music problem (track skipping)

I recently came across this error. I imported an album to Itunes and then transferred it to my Ipod. While listening to the album it came to one track and then skipped over it, without even playing it. I immediately thought I might've not clicked the song to be imported but the track played fine on my Itunes Library, as well as on my Ipod section in Itunes. I'm at a loss at what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Any luck on this problem. I just started experiencing this problem today. Let me know what you come up with.

Music Player N96 - Music starts to skip and make h...

Hi,
I recently have purchased the Nokia N96. I had a N95 which I loved and naturally thought the N96 would be a good upgrade (Which it is). My problem is that when I am playing Music (occasionally) The tracks skip and start to make horrid sounds. These tracks where all on a 2Gb Micro SD card and worked fine on my N95. I moved the tracks onto the Mass Memory. This has only started recently, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks

the cure is to update the firmware. when nokia release new phones some have problems with the playback of music. so in a firmware update they fix the problems and update the audio codecs.
what happend to you happend to me but with my n91 when i first got it. updating firmware cured the problem.

Creative Zen loading music problem

"Creative Zen loading music problem?I just started using a creative zen (DVP-FL000, 6Gb) player and i'm having?a few issues copying music onto it.
I have loaded the latest firmware (.2.03e) onto it and formatted it so was clean when i started loading my music on.
I'm using winamp on winxp to copy my music to the player, but occasionally i get tracks that wont copy to the player. Winamp just shows 'unspecified error'. If a file fails to copy it will never copy, no matter how many times i try. Somtimes its a random track, sometimes an entire album.
So i also tried copying the tracks that wont copy using windows explorer, it appears to copy but the file never appears on the device. The same is also true when i try it on my Windows7 laptop with explorer, it will appear to be copying but then part way through it will report that the device has stopped responding.
It only seems to happen with windows media files, all my mp3s copy fine. The files that dont copy probably represent about 0% of my music but play fine on all my other players.
sorry for the long post, just really scratching my head with this one!
anyone have any ideas?

solved
did a 'clean up' in the recovery menu, no problems transferring tracks since

TS1717 does anyone know why the music quits or skips to the next song

Recent purchases?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again using the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.
Otherwise check the start and stop times on the Options tab when you Get Info for individual files.

Mouse Tracking Skips With Matrox DualHead2Go

Hey guys!
JUST got a brand spankin' new MacBook Pro. Fully loaded. i7, 8gb RAM, the works.
Yesterday I hooked it up to a brand new Matrox DualHead2Go and two Dell U2410 Displays. Worked like a dream. It's kind of annoying that the MBP sees the two displays as one because everything pops up in the center (middle of the two) by default, but I'll get over that. (unless you have a solution)
The real problem is my mouse tracking. I've tried it with my Magic Mouse, and with the trackpad, and with both, the tracking skips. I'll move the cursor in a circle and it'll skip ahead and sometimes move erratically. As soon as I unplug the displays, the tracking is perfect again. The weird thing is that yesterday it was working perfectly fine. I've tried rebooting with then plugged in, plugging them in after boot, unplugging and then plugging in while booted.
I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong and it's driving me nuts. Any help is super greatly appreciated.

So, after posting I tested by popping into Safe Mode and opening iTunes. When in safe mode, it doesn't act erratically, it works fine.
I called Apple and they said you're not supposed to use two external displays with a MBP (figured). But he was very helpful. He directed me to call Matrox and see what's up on their end and get back to him. If Matrox can't find a fix he said he'd forward on to iTunes engineers.
Meanwhile, though, I also saved the processes that were running in Safe Mode and compared to the processes that run when I boot into my login. There were quite a few differences on both sides. Safe had some things that werent running in my boot and vice versa. I killed everythign but background processes for 1Password and Little Snitch. Those two just pop back open after killing the process. Everything else running was Apple signed, yet the cursor was still acting erratically with nothing but iTunes open.
I have a feeling it's on Matrox's end, but if that's the case why is iTunes the only culprit?
Thanks again for your help!

WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
Any help here would be appreciated.
thanx

Handling Music/Sound Tracks

I have 2 questions regarding the handling of music/sound tracks:
1) I understand that iMovie automatically creates a 1 second cross-fade between consecutive music tracks. Is there a way to extend this (possibly to 3 or 4 seconds)?
2) Is there a way to "layer" tracks in iMovie? For example, I'd like to lay down a piece of music and then add a sound effect over top of it, so that both would be audible at the same time?
Thanks!

1) I understand that iMovie automatically creates a 1 second cross-fade between consecutive music >tracks. Is there a way to extend this (possibly to 3 or 4 seconds)?
You can certainly do longer fades. Set the Fade to manual and move the slider to (up to) 2 seconds.
It is also quite easy to do a longer cross fade. You just overlap the tracks. To see how, see the video below.
2) Is there a way to "layer" tracks in iMovie? For example, I'd like to lay down a piece of music and >then add a sound effect over top of it, so that both would be audible at the same time?
Yes, this is very easy to do. Just drag and drop. [This video tutorial might be the best way to explain.|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips]

Adding more than one music clip/track to a project

I add the first music clip/track just fine and place it where I want it and it positions itself below the frames. When I go to add the next clip/track, it won't place where I want it. It always goes to the beginning of the project and it "surrounds" the video clips in a large purple frame. I can move it downstream to where I want it, but it never "places" underneath the video frames like the first clip/track. What am I doing wrong?

Drop it on the video clip, not between clips or above the clips.

Transfering music and track info between personal computers

Does anyone know if it's permissible to transfer music and track info that I purchased from itunes between my two personal laptops? If so, what are the steps?

Yes. You can move/copy them wherever you like for your own personal use.
You can copy them to a cd,dvd,flash drive, external drive,etc. then copy them wherever you like.

When I run with my iPhone4, the music just keeps skipping to the next song. I'll start my music, start running, and then the songs keep changing so I can never hear a song. Songs are from iTunes and doesn't happen on iPod. HELP?

Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match. Here's how to do it:
ASSUMPTIONS: You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library. Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane. Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track. Do the following...
...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
NOTE: when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
NOTE: If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
Good luck!

You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

Music track skipping and playing silence on iPhone

Some music tracks play sections of silence, others are skipping randomly like a scratched record. This happens when playing on the built-in speakers or on headphones. Tracks affected can be either CD imports or iTunes purchases.
I have the latest iTunes update, I have iOS4, I have re-synched, restored the phone multiple times, checked my hard drive... What can be the cause of this? I am prepared to do whatever it takes to solve the problem but I have run out of ideas. The Genii Apple Store have no idea what's causing it.
iPhone is proving not to be viable as a music player. I now have to carry my old iPod in addition to my iPhone if I want music.
anyone? please ??

MP3 is a lossy compression - the more you do it the more your music tracks will degrade. Re-encoding the songs which have already been encoded will gradually reduce the quality (much the same as photocopying a photocopy). If you really need to re-encode something it's best to take it from the source, i.e. rip from CD again.
Obviously this would be a bit time consuming for all your tracks, but I think if you really had to do this with your entire music collection every time iTunes is upgraded there must be something seriously wrong with iTunes.
If you have track problems there's probably something in your computer software which is conflicting with the processes going on in iTunes. In my case it appears to be my antivirus. Do a bit of detective work and try switching a few things off to narrow it down, but you shouldn't have to go through a laborious process of re-encoding which will eventually degrade the quality of your music.

Apple TV music problems-skips & plays with no sound

I bought a refurbished Apple TV from apple's website last April and it has been working fine, but lately it has started giving me problems when streaming audio from iTunes on my MacBook Pro. It will sometimes skip momentarily when playing a song, or even freeze up for a few minutes only to jump ahead to the next song or a later portion of the current track. Sometimes when it freezes, we will see the progress bar still filling up like it's playing, but there is no sound. Sometimes we see the little white "loading" dial, though not always. Everything else seems to be working on it, it's just the music that is giving us problems. I tried to reboot the apple TV (using menu & down button) but the problem is still there. I don't think it's a network issue, because other wireless devices in our home seem to be working just fine, and this seems to happen even when the apple tv is the only wireless device accessing the network. Any other ideas of how to remedy the problem?

There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Strange Problem: 25 seconds into track, skips to the end?

I'm having a weird problem where, 25 seconds into the track, iTunes skips to the end of the track, and my iPod just stops playing it (like I paused it without it being paused). What strikes me as really odd about it is that it's only one two tracks. I haven't found another one where it does the same thing. I downloaded the mp3s from eMusic, and they are both sequential songs in that album. I've tried re-downloading both of them, but that didn't work. I will also note that the files play just fine in Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic, leading me to believe it's an iTunes/iPod specific problem. Anyone have any idea?

Restore the iPod and reload the songs.
