ITunes 11 - noise while Fast Forward/Backward scrubbing

Using the forward and backward buttons within a song or other audio file results in very loud "noise". All I can assume is that this is just another bug in the new version of iTunes.

It also makes the noise when playing from a paused state...

Buzzing noise when fast forwarding live tv

After pausing live tv, then fast forwarding, it's started to make a buzzing noise whilst forwarding then stops when playing. It doesn't do it when rewinding.
Anyone else experienced this?

Yes I've been getting this since the new update. Buzzing whenever FF or RW on demand, recordings etc, even sometimes when changing between adds on 4oD. It sounds like something to do with the hard disk. I've just put it down to an ageing box reaching the end of its life, sad really but I suppose 2yrs is what we should expect from these types of products.
How old is your box?

ITunes 7.0.1 fast forwarding and skipping

I installed itunes 7.0.1 today, and ever since all my songs randomly skip and or fast forward through the entire song. The results seem random, sometimes one song will start slow, and randomly skip other times the same track will just play extremely fast through the whole song. I have never had this problem with any other version of itunes. I tried changing my quicktime audio to "safe - wav out" but that does not help.
I have a Pentium 4 with 2GB of DDR 3200 RAM and plently of system resources available. Has anybody else experienced this or know how to fix it, or is it just another 7.0.1 bug we have to wait out?
Thanks!

well, at least it's not like the old days anymore man, when an SB Live actually did alot more than what an onboard soundcard can do for you. I myself am not a hardcore gamer or anything, just like to listen to my music when I'm on the PC. My surround sound, dolby, dts and all that jazz is on my home theatre. If I am just listening to my iTunes, I honestly don't notice a difference between onboard sound and my sb live, so heck worst case enable your onboard sound if you have it or play with some drivers, or get yourself a cheapo $20 sound card. With all the problems though, you'd think Apple must be working on an updated version. good luck

Crossfade while skipping forward/backward

I use iTunes for running background music and special performance tracks at my church. Is there currently a way to get iTunes to crossfade songs when skipping to the next or previous song? If not, here's my vote to add that feature. Thanks!

No. iTunes can only do a crossfade at the end of the song, or at the pre-arranged Stop Time set in Options.
If not, here's my vote to add that feature. Thanks!

New apple keyboard 2007 likes to fast-forward by itself

I recently set up my PowerBook as a desktop computer with external monitor, keyboard and mouse, while always leaving the PowerBook shut. My keyboard is the new thin apple keyboard and it seems to work fine after installing the update except that some times iTunes will just start fast forwarding through 4 or 5 songs before finally stopping, This usually happens when I'm not even sitting at the computer, so there is no input into the mouse or keyboard. It seems to be fairly random. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies. Ok, so the transport keys can control iTunes, even if it isn't the active application? That's what I've always wanted to do.
And the 2nd working USB port sounds great. It's always frustrated me that I couldn't plug my 1GB USB Flash Drive directly into the keyboard. Now I can do it without fiddling around on the back of the iMac.
You said Expose uses the F3 key, but Expose typically has 3 different functions: All Windows, All Applications and Desktop. How do you these 3 things with the new Apple Keyboard?

Fast forward problem in iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hello
I am using iTunes 6.0.1.3 on Windows XP Pro.
The situation is this. I have a song that is 7:30 long. When I play it normally it works just fine. However when I use the fast forward and advance to time mark 6:45 and start playing it is actually playing the part of the song that is at 6:00 (within a second or two), I let it go ahead and play and when it gets to 7:30 it just stops and jumps to the top of the menu tree (both it iTunes and on my ipod (40 gig 4g).
I have tried the fast forwarding in Music Match and Adobe Audition and it works just fine. I have tested the mp3 file with all the editors and players I have and it works great.
It appears there is some type of synch issue with fast forward and I don't really know where to start.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Well, I've noticed this problem at work (while using my work laptop on a network with other users -- some who have iTunes 5 and some iTunes 6) and at home (using a completely different laptop).
At first I thought it was a configuration problem on my work laptop, but now I'm thinking it has something to do with iTunes itself.
The weird thing is: People at work who use iTunes 5.0 can see the shared drives without a problem. Those with 6.0 cannot. So this problem is replicating itself in two completely different environments -- leading me to believe it's something in iTunes 6. Hmm....

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

ITunes fast forwards when mouse is on song

I just got a MacBook Pro and use a wireless mouse(brand is Targus if that helps) which works fine for everything on it except when I roll over a song in iTunes while it's playing and it send itunes into a fast forward frenzy. It just moves and moves until I move the mouse and and then the songs play normally. I though it was a mouse issue but I think it's something with the iTunes after reading this forum.
Anyone know how to fix this or what's wrong? I really appreciate the help

ITunes forward/backwards are glitchy

When I press the forward/backward buttons on my keyboard or in the iTunes window, they do not work as intended.
Forward: Goes to the beginning of the song.
Backward: Goes to the beginning of the song.
Forward, forward: Goes to the beginning of the song twice.
Backward, backward: Goes to the beginning of the song twice.
Forward, backward: Goes to the beginning of the song, then to the next song in the playlist.
Forward, backward, forward: Goes to the beggining of the song, then to the next song, then to the first song again.
Forward, backward, forward, backward, forward: Goes to the beggining of the song, then to the next song, then to the first song again, then to the third song, then to the first song again.
My guess is that somewhere in the coding, there is a trigger that determines what song is being played. When backwards is pressed it goes to the position of the correct song it is supposed to do, and then probably refreshes this trigger. However, for some reason, the trigger is broken with the forwards, and when the forwards is pressed, it plays the song it is on from the beginning again while thinking it is playing the next one. That is why when the back is pressed, it is refreshing off of the song it thinks it is playing and starts to play from the beginning of the next song... just an idea.
I would really like to fix this as always, any help or clarification that people would like would be appriciated. Accept all that: "List what your processor is, that is a large determining factor of your problem, and without it, I am unable to answer your question. Oh, and your computer model, mac address, and year it was made."

No one?

ITunes starts fast forwarding tracks after 1hours continuous play?

Hi I have recently updated windows XP on my computer to service pack three. After this update when I am listening to iTunes it suddenly started playing the songs in my library too quickly as if it was stuck on fast forward.
If you stop itunes playing then press play or select a different track it continues to play too fast. The only way to fix the problem is to close itunes and re-open it.
I have now found that this problem starts after iTunes has been playing music for just over an hour, so currently I'm having to close and re-open itunes ever hour to keep listening to music.
Any Idea why this might be happening?
I'm running XP SP3, 3GB ram, 3GHz processor, 200GB HD no where near full. Its iTunes version 8.2.1.6.
Thanks
Liam

Anyone else have this problem? I have now timed the problem to exactly 1hour 9minutes of continuous play, so if you play for 30 mins, pause for 15 then play iTunes starts fastforwarding 39 minutes later.

How can I fast forward Audio Files without itunes?

So I like having the ability to preview audio files directly in the finder folders. I would like the ability to fast forward and rewind them but I cant seem to figure out how to do it without opening itunes first. Kind of annoying. I like how in windows you click play on an audio file and windows media player opens and you can ffwd and rewind. Any Jedi's out there know how I can do this? Thanks!

There are plenty of other audio players for Mac that are lighter weight than iTunes.
I use VLC, but here are some others:

Hi cowboyincognito,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't have the option to play music by genre on your iPhone, try this step to find the Genre option:
Browse your music library.
You can browse your music by playlist, artist, or other category. For other browse options, tap More. Tap any song to play it.
To rearrange the tabs in the Music app, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.
