ITunes 6.0.1 skipping

iTunes 6.0.1 skips while playing back .mp3 and .m4a files on my G4 800DP, which is running OS X 10.3.9. The skips are tiny gaps in playback that can sound like scratches on a vinyl record. Playback was smooth before upgrading and is perfectly smooth on other computers using older versions of iTunes.
Is this a common problem, and if so, how can it be addressed?
If this cannot be fixed, how do I revert to an older version of iTunes?
Thanks!

There seem to be several programs that do not like Quicktime 7. Apple has a Quicktime 7.0.1 reinstaller to remove 7.0.3 you can download and run to go back:

You can remove 7.0.1 and go back to 6.5.2:

  • Why does my itunes keep making songs skip in the middle of playback?

    I have just got a new laptop HP DV6157EA laptop and when i try to play tracks on itunes it will sometimes skip the track every 3 seconds or so.I have made sure that the computer isnt running anything else when im playing my track and the same thing still occurs. I have also tried deleting the tracks and reimporting the cd.Does anyone know how to rectify this problem? (should have stuck with a macbook!)

    Not a computer issue but a itunes issue.
    I tried this and it helped.
    To get to the Task Manager go:
    CtrlAltDel then "Task Manager" then go to the "Processes" tab.
    Locate "iTunes.exe" Right-Mouse click to "Set Priority" then choose "High".
    Hope that helps.
    still skips if I move mouse.

  • ITunes Plus files are skipped

    I've updated most of my iTunes purchases to iTunes plus and I saw the same long processing time that others saw. Mine all finished OK though. However some of them now will not play in iTunes and are just skipped over.
    Strangely they will play in Quicktime and also in Get info->preview.
    I also found that if I skipped the first second of the file (using iTunes->Get info->options) then the file played. Weird! Support let me download again and the latest copies were exactly the same. In the end they gave me a credit.
    Anyone else having these problems? I had about 7 files out of maybe 30 or 40 gop bad. They were a variety of artists.

    My guess is that in the rush to get all the millions of tracks re-encoded, the record companies delivered some bad ones. Probably not surprising given the massive number of tracks involved. Even prior to the big iTunes Plus conversion, a bad track (or several) would appear from time to time. I would hope that at least the majority of tracks with problems will be replaced over the next several weeks. I'd suggest waiting a few weeks before you attempt to re-purchase these particular tracks, should you wish to, to allow time for them to, we hope, be replaced with good copies.

  • ITunes Match No Unlimited Skips on iTunes Radio

    I just updated my Macbook Pro to OS X 10.9.3, and now I can't get anymore unlimited skips on iTunes radio. I have iTunes match, and am logged in on my computer. Did iTunes remove the unlimited skips with iTunes radio for Match subscribers? Or is there anything I can do to get my unlimited skips back? Thanks!

    This topic has actually been discussed on this forum. Contrary to some reports in the tech media, having an iTunes Match subscription never allowed unlimited skips when using iTunes Radio.

  • 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

  • Itunes rental video is skipping..

    just rented a movie from itunes and it is skipping. how do i fix it or get my money back?

    Hi Kristen,
    Are you viewing the local copy of the published output or is it on a server/website ?
    When you have converted that video to .flv or .mp4 does that converted video play fine in a media player?
    Have you inserted the video as a multi slide synchronized video or an Event Video?
    If it is Multi Slide, then could you try using event video and see if there is any change. (uncheck autoplay in Event Video properties)
    Also tell the output that you have published .swf or HTML 5?
    You can check these two articles on Multi Slide Video and Event Video in Captivate 7:

  • ITunes Converted MP3 Corrupt (Skips like record)

    So I've been searching and I have not been able to find my specific issue out there. So here it is. Hope someone can help.
    I purchased a new vehicle with a 30Gb HDD. Unfortunately, it doesn't play ACC so I have to convert my music to MP3. Not a big deal since it's a built in feature in iTunes. The problem I'm finding is that a lot (not all) of my songs will skip like a record player around the 3-3.5 minute mark. The song will still play to the end. it just has this annoying skip. Sometimes a song will also cut off the last few seconds.
    When I play the same MP3 through iTunes, it will skip at the same point so this tells me there is something wrong with the conversion. The orignal purchased song is fine. I delete the MP3 song and reconvert and it seems to work. This is just a pain as I'm finding more and more songs that are corrupted. I also have not listened to all the reconverted songs yet so I'm not entirely sure reconverting will work every time.
    Is there a setting that is causing this? Is there another conversion method that is more robust?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hey, check this out I was playing around with a CD in Windows Media Player 11, I was wondering why this played so well and Itunes didn't I was going to download a cd in wma 11 and started looking around I noticed a box with said if you are having playback problems uncheck this box for 24 bit sound. so I did and swicthed back to itunes. so far no skipping. I will continue to monitor. So much for the tech experts at Apple & Microsoft

  • Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes.  Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing.  Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today.  Help :(

    I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs.  But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips.  The priority for Itunes is set to High.  This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%.  I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem.  Please help...
    If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that?   I'm currently running 10.5

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 skipping problem with audigy soundcard

    Hi, I have an audigy se soundcard and running itunes 7.0.1. Whenever the cpu usage spikes (opening applications and loading animations on webpages) and I'm playing music in itunes, the music skips and cracks. I don't think it's issue with soundcard/driver cuz winamp works perfectly fine with no skips. I've tried changing audio pref (tried 8, 16, 24 bit and 32, 44.1 and 48 khz) in quicktime, all of which did't work. I don't want to change the process priority for itunes cuz i have to do it every time. Any ideas? This doesn't happen with onboard audio so it's really weird. I want to be able to use my soundcard. Thanks.

    Did you try turning your hardware acceleration setting down? I was having the same problem with the previous version of iTunes and was advised to change my acceleration setting from "full" to "basic". If you want to try this, go to the control panel>sounds and audio devices>audio tab>sound playback advanced button>pull the acceleration lever down two notches from Full to basic. Restart itunes and see if that helps.

  • When I'm playing my music on iTunes, it would automatically skips songs, even though they aren't greyed out or it is checked.

    When I opened my iTunes today, I tried to listen to my songs, but whenever I clicked enter or double clicked the song, it wouldn't play, instead, it would play a song near it. So I tried my whole playlist and most of the songs aren't working! They're not greyed out, they've just stopped playing. I'm not sure why. I've recently downloaded AVG Tuneup by accident, and I've been getting all these weird messages coming from my computer saying I've got corrupted files, so I uninstalled that program ASAP. And these messages would still pop up! I'm not sure what's happening...

    Hello dustboy,
    There are a few things that you can do to stops the songs from skipping. What it may be is that the files are not working properly so try converting the song to a different format and test that new song. Since you are using iTunes Match, then you can actually delete the tracks and then download them again. Let me know if you this works out for you.

  • ITunes seems to be skipping/hiccuping while playing music during browisng.

    Hello Everyone
    So for the past month or so I experience intermittent "hiccuping" while playing music through iTunes on my PC.  Songs don't skip in the traditional sense of skipping from one song to the next ... instead it's more like a blurp/drag.  It lasts for about a second or two and then it stops.  It happens mostly when I'm web-browsing.  I've tried using another browser but nothing seems to help.  my PC is three years old and it came with Windows 7.  I've used Windows 8 since it became available so I guess that's about two years now, I'm on to Windows 8.1.  My system has a 1TB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X4 640 3GHZ processor (I don't know much about processor specs but I thought I'd include it to be as thorough as possible).  Of the TB of Hard Drive space, I've used less than 40% of it.  I've run virus scans, malware scans, I've made sure my defrags and Windows updates are up to date.  There was recently an update to iTunes in the last day or so - and I was really hoping this would be fixed - but the problem seems to be getting worse. 
    I'm to the point where I'm ready to download Google Play and just use iTunes solely for syncing my iPhone 5s.  I cannot continue to put with playing music in iTunes with this problem.  I'm at my wit's end.  I've considered "dumping" everything on to an external hard drive, wiping my system and starting fresh ...
    Anyone have any thoughts, ideas?

    It may just be your DVD player. I have found
    this
    with some of my DVDs. They work fine on my player
    and
    skip on others.
    That results from a high level of burn errors as a
    result of low quality media and/or high burn
    speeds.
    Hmm, maybe. I never (knowingly) use crappy media.
    I always use Imation discs (mainly because they are
    fully printable - and I thought they were meant to be
    good quality). Also, I cant see where to change the
    burn speed. I always burn a disc image and then use
    Disk Utility to burn a disc. It just does it
    automatically and doesn't seem to offer any choices.
    How can I get it to burn at slower speed? I'd
    prefer not to use third party software if poss.
    OK, you've got me worried now.
    I've just checked this
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    and think I'll be off tomorrow to buy some new discs.
    Thanks for alerting me.
