Imported song skips, plays fine from CD

I'm importing a whole CD. The CD plays fine in the computer and in the car. When I play the music from the computer, the last track skips. I've cleaned the CD and used a CD repair kit and I've run a laser lense cleaner on the computer. After re-importing the CD, the song still skips when played from the computer.
I have an iMac G5 with iSight, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.7 and iTunes 6.0.5.
Any suggestions?

ripped the song using a different drive

    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggsts

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
    Jim

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

  • Same mp4 video plays fine from one drive but not recognised from another??

    Everytime I drag and copy my MP4 video files from my internal drive to an external one, it then no longer plays from the external drive.  The external drive is working fine, and if I render the video directly to that drive, it previews and plays fine.  This only happens to MP4 files I copy from internal drive to this external drive
    Something seems to happen to the file when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it. 
    As I drag it I and when it lands in the folder I copied it to, the preview thumbnail is here for a split second, then switches to a regular QT icon - when i try to open it, it then says file format not recognised - even though the exact same file plays fine from the original location on my internal hard drive
    This is driving me mad - any ideas - must be something simple?
    Any help really appreciated

    I used MPEGStreamClip to transcode the audio file to AIFF (over 1500 kbs @ 48khz) with better results. With the iTunes volume set at full and with the volume adjustment option set at 100% (which is 50% above flat), the AIFF file played through iTunes, produces about the same decibels as playing the file through VLC with the VLC volume at full.
    Thanks much for your help.
    I believe some of the problem is with the original file being a bit too quiet to begin with. Putting it into analog terms, it's kind of like a 1 watt pre-amp signal when it needs to be a 4. Do you know of a way to increase the audio output level through the cable box fire wire port so it can be captured at a higher audio level to begin with?

  • Imported song "skips" when using final cut express.  please help!!!

    hey everybody. i'm editing a music video in final cut express 4.0. i'm very new to this, so please forgive me for using incorrect terminology, or in most cases, no terminology. here we go...
    i'm having this problem where the song i imported into fce keeps, for lack of a better word, skipping. the song is an mp3 file. the song plays all the way through, and it doesn't stop when it skips. but every so often, there will be this glitch, where you can hear the music screw up. when played in itunes or on a cd, this song plays fine, so it's not the mp3. what gives?
    i thought it might be related to the audio from my video tracks. at first, i was just bringing the audio levels from the video all the way down. but then i decided to try erasing it to see if that would help. it didn't.
    thank you so much for reading and taking the time to share your valuable knowledge! take care, everyone.

  • Unable to import songs or play audio cds

    I'm having issues with iTunes on my PC laptop. I used to be able to import cds with no problem. Now when I insert an audio cd, the disk shows up on my desktop, opens in iTunes, and finds the titles. When I select "import", it acts as if it is importing the songs REALLY fast. When I try to play one of these supposedly "imported" songs from the library it shows it's time signature as 789:57:13 and won't play (skips to next song, then the next until it comes to one imported before this problem began) or gives error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It also no longer plays from an audio cd (skips through each song quickly without playing). Help!
    If no one knows how to resolve this issue... is there an apple support phone number, a genius at a mac store or someone somewhere you could suggest who could help? (I'm well beyond the original 90-day support window.)

  • Imported Songs Skip

    I have backed up all my songs from iTunes on my laptop to a cd, and imported them to iTunes on another desktop PC. When I play them from the second PC, most songs skip or have major distortion. Sounds like the song files are corrupt, would burning the cd's at a slower speed fix this problem?

    The best thing to do would be to use CD-ripping software capable of yielding secure/accurate rips, such as PlexTools Professional LE, EAC, foobar2000, etc. Then import the files to your iTunes library.

  • Re: Songs skipping after downloading from iTunes

    I am having problems with the songs skipping when I use itunes to play them on my computer. I have deleted them and redownloaded. It does not fix the problem. What do I do next?

    Hello, cajunkiwi.
    Thank you for the question.  There are a couple options to help you with this.  If limited purchased media skips only on the iPhone, then delete the affected content and download it again free of charge via the purchased section of the iTunes Store.  If almost all of your media library skips on the iPhone only, remove all music from the device by removing the preference to sync music.  After this has been completed, restore the sync music preference to place the media back on the the device.  Below are a couple articles that will walk you through this process.

  • Re-authorising my computer for a song that played fine just a minute ago?

    This is a new one (for me):
    I succesfully played a purchased song on iTunes on my PC, I then wanted to play the song again but got prompted that this very same PC wasn't authorised to play that song (so I authorised it and it played fine - but I lost another authorisation for no obvious reason).
    I use Windows XP(SP2) with iTunes 6.0.1.3. I didn't change any hardware or software in between.
    Any ideas what might have caused this?
    Thanks!

  • Importing songs to itunes folder from dvd's

    i have a data dvd backup of all my 1400 songs from itunes folder. i tried to import it into a newly dowloaded version of itunes on my laptop with new hard drive.. it placed all the song info in the library, so i connected my ipod and directed it to this new library. it updated ipod successfully. but when i tried to play, i realized that i had only imported the song titles, etc. into itunes folder and subsequently onto ipod.. and because i directed to this "new" library, i lost all 1400 songs on the ipod.. pls help. how do i get my music from data dvd backup to library and to ipod. and do i have to import each song separately.. there are like 25 different folders on the dvd of albums, and downloads from itunes store....i just want what i had before my hard drive died. forgive me if i didn't post this right, my first time...

    Note - You don't need to copy them to the HD first,
    as btabz suggested.
    There are different ways to import music. You can copy them (the music files) onto the HD wherever you want and then import into iTunes, or have iTunes import directly off the DVD and put the files in the iTunes Music Folder. Both ways get the music into iTunes and stored on your HD. It depends if you want the music in the iTunes Music folder or not. With the way I suggested, the music is placed where you want, instead of having iTunes put it where it wants.
    Both ways will work fine though.

  • Songs skip when streaming from iCloud

    This problem occurs consistently. The track will skip as soon as it is fully loaded.
    To explain clearly:
    When you start a track which is not stored locally it "streams" from iCloud. (More like it is downloaded and stored temporarily than actual streaming.) As it starts it plays and downloads simultaneously. The progress bar fills light grey as the track downloads. It also fills dark grey as the track plays (also marked by a small diamond). As soon as the progress bar fills light grey indicating it is fully downloaded it skips to the next track where the process repeats.
    This not happen with all tracks but it occurs with the majority of tracks.

    Hello, Calandria
    Is error correction enabled? (iTunes Preferences/Importing/Use Error Correction ... on my machine)
    Another possibility, of course, would be that the CD was produced with a Windows-capable scheme to prevent copying the songs. Can't really help you if that's the case, though.
    Good luck

  • IPod refuses to play a certain song which plays fine in iTunes

    20gb iPod colour refuses to play a song I downloaded from the iTunes store, "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce. It plays perfectly in iTunes, but whenever I want to play it on my iPod, it automatically skips to the next song, despite not having changed the start/end times, or having "skip when shuffling" on.
    I've tried deleting the song from the iPod and restoring it by deleting it from my iTunes, updating the iPod, then restoring it to my iTunes library and updating the iPod again.
    I recently updated to iTunes version 7.6.2, but the problem existed before the update and was not fixed by the update.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

  • Songs skip when dowloaded from CD

    When I copy a CD to the iPOD Shuffle library it skips when I listen to it from the library, so it also skips on the iPOD shuffle. I have converted the songs, tried to copy and past, tried to save it to my hard on my PC, etc. When I listen to CDs (store bought and new, not "bootlegged" copies. Please assist as I am a heading back to the store were I purchased it.

  • Songs skip after pausing from task tray

    I'm having a really annoying problem: when I pause a song from the task tray (by right-clicking on the iTunes icon and hitting "pause") and then restart it, it skips about once a minute. Any songs played will then skip in this fashion, until I close iTunes and restart it. I first had this problem when I upgraded to iTunes 7.2, and I tried all of the usual recommended steps to fix it, and nothing worked, so finally I downgraded to 7.1 and it fixed it. I didn't upgrade to 7.3 for this reason, but when 7.4 came out, I thought maybe they'd have fixed it, but I just upgraded and it's doing it again. Please fix, Apple! Does anyone know what's causing this or what I can do about it?
    Also, I'm about to get one of the new iPod classics. Will I be able to run it with iTunes 7.1 if I downgrade again, as I'll probably have to do?

    not sure but I think you have to have the newest version of itunes for the new ipods that just came out.
    Can't help you with the skipping, sorry.
