ITunes 11, 12 Gapless Playback Not working anymore ***?

On 9/12/2006 Steve Jobs Keynote stated:
10:06AM - "You might be listening to Abbey Road or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and one track doesn't flow seamlessly into the next. We are going to put this back together as it was intended and offer Gapless Playback for songs encoded with MP3, AAC, and Apple Lossless.”
Up until then itunes & iPods were limited in that you’d have a gap between songs that flowed together. CD's naturally had no gap problems.
So it was a very needed feature. I personally produced mixed tapes on cassettes & reel to reel and until Gapless Playback was released itunes was useless for me and others in the recording industry.
The last few versions of itunes 11,12 i guess I noticed gaps between songs, I thought it was broken? After reading many blogs I find out that Apple has an Auto Gapless Playback?? And It doesn’t work right?? This needs to be controllable or put this feature back in completely. Your not removing a floppy disc this is a needed feature that HAS TO WORK. Or make it work in Playlists??
Can anyone shed more light on this subject??
Geez Apple!!!

Tom i was having the exact same problem, when i uploaded by bands future album on to the iPhone there was gaps even though there wasn't on iTunes. Then i discovered that your iPhone needs to realise its an album you're listening to. So instead of choosing 'Artists' when selecting your music, find it under 'Albums' and the tracks will blend into eachother seemlessly.

Gapless Playback not working after editing tags!

Hey there!
I was recently editing the tags for all my music with Mp3tag and managed to delete the ITUNSMPB, ITUNNORM, and ITUNPGAP tags.
Now no matter what I do I can't get my music to play gapless anymore and it is highly frustrating.
I was wondering if there is anyway to restore the gapless playback functionality to my music.
All of my music is in the .m4a format and was encoded with Apple's AAC encoder.
I would really appreciate someone's help.
Thanks!

Gapless playback not working on iphone.

I have imported my band's latest release into itunes, there is allot of ambience inbetween tracks so it is important that the playback is gapless, and it is when played in itunes but not once I have synced it to my iphone. When played through the music app there is an incredibly annoying half a second gap in between tracks.
I removed the album from my iphone and then re-synced it which temporarily fixed the issue, i checked again later in the day and the annoying gap has come back.
Whats really frustrating is that i listen to other albums on my iphone and the playback is gapless so it oddly seems to just be this one custom album.
Please advise as we are wanting to release this as a free download and if everyone gets this jarring gap in between songs it will sound terrible.
Thanks in advance.

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore.
Configuration: OSX Lion with Server, iTunes 10.5, latest firmware for the Stora.
Can this be confirmed to be a bug introduced with 10.5 ?
I also saw some people mentioning the same problem on Synology NAS.
Seems like the 10.5 uodate broke something.

Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Itunes is not working anymore!!

Hello all,
since a month my Itunes is not working anymore.
I don't know whats wrong with it but all of a sudden it's not working anymore. When I start it my computer sais: There is an fault in Itunes and it has to be closed.
I really hope u guys can help me.

I noticed this recently too. Either you see "No artwork available" or, if you select multiple items, the box says something like "Multiple items selected." But other times it says "Drag artwork here." I can't make sense of it.
Rest assured you can still drag/drop. There is no need to save the picture first. The trick is to drag/drop onto the artwork box in the Get Info window instead of the left corner of iTunes.

ITunes shuffle is not working anymore

iTunes shuffle is not working anymore after downloading latest version. The shuffle button is highlighted but it just plays the next track.

If you need to change the computer that the iPad is synced to then see this user-tip : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you don't have all of your content on a backup that you can copy onto your new computer and into its iTunes (File > Add To Library), then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the iPad to it via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases). For content from other sources (e.g. music that you copied form CDs) which you don't have on a backup, there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPad.

Usb hotspot is not working anymore since i installed itunes 10.6.3

USB hotspot is not working anymore... since i installed itunes 10.6.3
Please help me... how can i fix it.
I have wondows 7.

1.- Thanks for answering.
2.- I think I did not explain myself properly: The iPod is detected by both Windows and iTunes 10.5.3 64bit version.
The problem lies in that now after all the failures and the loss of my music (imagine I have to rip my entire CD collection again) whenever I try to sync my iTunes collection to my iPad (either on a single batch or album by album) a -50 o -69 error appears.
UPDATE: Now whenever I connect my iPod to the computer, it is recognized by Windows, but iTunes tells me that I have to restore it.
I cannot but commend Apple Inc. on his efforts to make a 9 months iPod unsuable. Sincerely this has brought me back to the worst of the 90s with MS.
UPDATE 2: Please let me add that with the previous iTunes version everything was ok. But, as soon as I installed the new Itunes (10.5.3 64bit) version the misery began. Unfortunately when I try to install the previous version I'm not allowed by the program and am referred to the newest buggy one.

Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
Method #2:
Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.
If Windows 8 is installed, you can invoke the search charm and type in the word audio and then on the right hand side of the screen click on Settings. On the left hand side of the screen, you should see an option to select Find and fix audio playback problems. Try it to see if it resolves the issue for you.

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

Hey rmacbeth, I'm sorry to hear about your iPad troubles. It seems like with every major iOS release, these issues come up on older models (the iPad 3 is relatively new though...weird)
Anyways, it sounds like you've tried everything already and nothing seems to be working. If you're sure that it's a software issue with iOS and has nothing to do with your physical home button, I'd recommend restoring your iPad to factory settings by doing the following:
1. Make a backup of your iPad (just connect it and select the backup option in iTunes)
2. Next, select factory restore. It'll ask you to back up your iPad here if you haven't already.
3. Try quickly setting it up as a new iPad.
4. Try to duplicate the issue with the freezing, just use it for a day and see if it happens at all
5. If everything seeems to be working, restore again except this time, do it from the backup you made earlier
6. Try again to see if the issue comes up by using it normally in a day
7. If it does happen again, take it in to the Apple store to get it looked at as there may be some underlying software issue that a factory restore can't resolve
Again, sorry about your iPad, I hope you can resolve your issues quickly!
