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

Subtitle buttons - fast-forward and rewinding issue

I am new to DVD Studio Pro 4 and I have project that uses a subtitle button over a video track to provide users with the ability to go "back" to the previous menu - the menu in which they selected the track.
There is a problem using this method however, when fast-forward or rewind is pressed, then the track starts to play again, the back button is now hosed. My thought is that this is because of the chapter markers not being refreshed in the middle of a subtitle, only at the begining and end like bookends.
Is there a way around this? If not, are there any buggy issues with locking down the user controls for fast-forward and rewind? Any help would be much appreciated...

You can lock out the User Ops for Fast Forward Rewind or whatever you want. Probably a good idea if you are using the track as a menu effectively.
If however the track is amovie and you want them to go back to the menu where they selected it you can target the menu for any track to go back to a specific menu. Click on the track and check out the Inspector near the bottom where it syas Remote Control. Target the menu you want people to go to back to when they press Menu on their Remote

Fast Forward and Rewind keyboard shortcuts in Log and Capture

In FCP, I want to assign the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons (in the Log and Capture mode) to buttons on the keyboard. I've assigned the functions using the Keyboard Layout in the Tools menu but it doesn't seem to be working like it should. In Log and Capture when I use the mouse to press the Fast Forward button, FCP stops the miniDV deck and fast forwards the tape as fast as possible without showing any picture. However, when I invoke the keyboard shortcut I created all I get is the picture moving a few fames per second instead of the tape stopping and fast forwarding as fast as possible. The same happens with the Rewind keyboard shortcut as well. Any ideas as to why, and how I might be able to fix this?
The computer I'm currently working on is a Dual 2 GHz PowerMac G5, 2.5 GB RAM, Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro 5.0.4).

When I press the fast forward or rewind button while logging a miniDV tape the video stops and then the tape fast forwards or rewinds at a MUCH faster rate than L or J ever give me. That is the behavior I am trying to get from a keyboard shortcut.
Not possible via keyboard shortcuts, unfortunately.
Even if you map the Rewind and Fast Forward functions to keys in a Custom Keyboard Layout - for those who didn't know, yes, there are specific commands for those functions even though they are not mapped by default - those shortcuts will not within the L&C window. We're stuck pressing the buttons.
Forgot to mention: the only time you're able to invoke the true fast forward or rewind function is using Shift-I/O (that is, Go to In Point or Out Point). Of course that only works if you have the necessary In/Out point set...

Quicktime Player fast-forward and reverse buttons not working for audio

I have Quicktime Player 7.7.3 for Windows and the fast forward/reverse buttons will not work while playing audio files. I've tried it with mp3 and m4a, neither will work.
The go to end/go to begining buttons are working fine.
The ff/reverse button don't work very well for video files, they only will move a few frames at a time, but they will not work at all on strictly audio files.
I've looked at the preferences, and the software is up to date.
the only way to ff/reverse is to go to Window > Show A/V Controls and use the Jog Shuttle, but that is a clumsy workaround. I'd rather have the playback buttons work properly in the first place.
Is there something else I should be doing (aside from purchasing QT Pro, that is)?

...stupid decision to replace the iTunes feedback...
Not replaced, just moved. Now grouped with all other Mac OS X feedback:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
It's not a bug. If it was we would all have this problem. My Macs don't.
Shut iTunes down.
Go to ~/your user name/Library/Preferences and place the file "com.apple.iTunes.plist" in the trash.
Try iTunes again. If your problem is solved, empty the trash.

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...

Music fast forwards and Siri/Voice control randomly pops up

While music is playing on my iPhone 4S, a number of problems occur. Siri will randomly come on as if I have hit the home button twice, pausing the music (once I hit the home button to turn Siri off the music plays again). The music will also randomly pause and fast forward itself. All of these things occur whether the phone in locked or unlocked. Sometimes, it starts to do these above things without me being in range with it. I have a feeling it is something to do with my Apple earpods. when I walk or move the earpods around a lot, these things are likelier to occur.
I have tried turning off shake to shuffle, raise to speak (for Siri) and I've even tried turning Siri off all together (which simply resulted in Voice Command coming on instead). I went to the Apple store for help and was told to do a backup and then restore the phone to factory settings. After I did that the issue persisted but with less frequency at first, but now it happens pretty constantly again. It seems like a software issue but the restore did not work so I'm not sure. Should I go to an Apple Store and get it checked out?

It works find for couple of hours and then Itunes open automatically, even after I force quit i tunes. I change the headsets with no resolution. I even loaded up again Lion and nothing. Yesterday, after I sync my iphone 4 and I was listening to a video, Itunes began to do the the same as on my MACBOOK PRO 2011. I rebooted the phone and it appears to be working find. What is this bug that Itunes 10.5 seems to have? I have tried to delete Itunes form application folder and is not deleting it.

How do i get my mouse wheel to stop making the song Fast forward and rewind?

the song plays, I start surfing the web and if i use the scroll wheel on my mouse (up or down) it moves the play possition of the song foreward or backward.

hey Lodinick,
I'm actually trying to get my mouse to do what you're complaining about. My search led me to your post, LOL.
I have a programmable logitech and I can't seem to find an option to assign the scroll functionality. I can change what happens when I click the scroll wheel, but not what happens when I scroll it up or down.
To help you:
1. If you have a programmable mouse, try digging in the software for that mouse.
2. If not try looking in Windows mouse settings.
If I find how to make it work on my mouse I'll try to remember and come tell you how to undo it.

Songs in playlists stuttering and skipping, iTunes 10.2.2

iMac, OS 10.6.7, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB memory
iTunes 10.2.2
relatively small library of music, several hundred music files, no video
After the latest update of iTunes, (to 10.2.2), I'm getting a random occurrence of songs in my playlists stuttering in fast forward and then skipping to the next song, which always plays normally. I know the music files are not corrupted because if I quit and then restart iTunes and select the same song that stuttered, it plays normally.
I have a hunch it has something to do with the keyboard as well, but not certain about that.
Any help very much appreciated, thank you!

I'm not sure I'm willing to take the step of uninstalling and reinstalling the service pack without understanding what it hopes to achieve.
Is that just to address the issue with the USB driver files not being updated, as described here? http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/24666-The-Windows-7-SP1-USB-Driver-Bug- %28what-it-is-and-how-to-fix-it%29
If that's the aim, there are simpler ways to fix it. Indeed, on my system, two of the three files mentioned in that article had not been properly updated, but I ran the tool at http://code.kliu.org/.etc/7601usbfix/ to update the files and then manually checked them again to ensure they were now the correct versions. This did not solve the freezing issue.
So if that's all that reinstalling SP1 is meant to achieve, I've already done that to no effect.

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....

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:

Fast Forward/Skip over podcast ads using Itouch?

I listento many podcasts that have ads. Is there a way to skip through the ads with the touch? I usually tap and drap and end up missing some of the content as I move along the timeline. Appreciate any info. I have the itouch 2.0. Much easier to skip using a scroll wheel on my mini. Hope there is a workaround.

You can also fast forward and rewind by holding down the track skip icons (the ones which you use to skip entire tracks). The longer you hold, the faster your iPod will scrub through the track.

How to enable FAST forward/reverse and how to test it....??

I am putting together a disc and cant seem to get the content to be allowed to fast forward and reverse ... Like I can on normal DVD's...
The button i thought would audition this (TRACK SKIP FORWARD) just jumps to the beginning and end of the track...
I want to fast forward at different speeds and to get to different points in the movie
Any thoughts
sorry If I'm missing the obvious
ROB

It sounds like you mean previewing (as oppossed to editing and shortcuts?) I usually just build the DVD and play it back in Apple DVD Player which has the controls for FF and Reverse. Unless you specifically disable tthe user operation of FF and Rev, it will be there. The Forward/Reverse in Simulator are next/previous markers.

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?

Z1 Unable to fast forward/rewind music

I wondered if anyone could help me with this. Within the Sony Walkman app the function 'Press and hold' to fast forward or rewind doesnt work. When you use this feature on my phone it just skips tracks on release of the button regardless of the length of time the button is held down. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me? Cant find any similar issues searching round the web. Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you in the overview screen where you just have a small song bar at the bottom of the screen and the screen is showing your other albums, if yes, than you can't fast forward or rewind. Press on the track that your are listening to, to reach the screen that is showing the cover art of the song and some sort of bigger track controls. On this screen you should be able to fast forward and rewind the song.
