ITunes 7.0.2.16 skipping in all songs!!!!

Like many others, I have the skipping problem in iTunes 7. During playback, songs will skip noticeably about every minute or two. It is VERY irritating.
I just got this new laptop two weeks ago. My previous laptop did nothing like this with the same version of iTunes and the exact same library. I have scoured these forums for a solution that works, but nothing satisfactory has come up.
I have tried:
* Changing Quicktime settings to waveout only and 16bit
* updating audio drivers
* updating IDE drivers and ensuring DMA mode on IDE controller (my laptop has serial ATA)
* closing other programs
* disabling sound enhancement (was never enabled in the first place)
The one thing that does get rid of the skipping is using dxdiag to move the sound acceleration slider down to "basic acceleration". This is HIGHLY unsatisfactory since it gimps my sound in games and other applications as this disables the hardware buffering.
So, is there a solution or are you guys working on a fix? Because clearly the problem is with iTunes itself. Gimping DX9 acceleration is not a solution that makes me happy.

    Sync it the same way you got it on the device to begin with.

  • IPod skips through all songs and isn't properly recognized in iTunes

    I have 30gb iPod video and it skips through all the songs and then goes back to the menu. Occasionally I can get it to stop skipping through and play part of one song. I have reset it several times. Also, when I plug it in to the computer it appears in iTunes as the name of my iPod Nano. I really don't want to lose all the songs on my iPod because it was my sister's iPod and she recently passed away. Most of the songs on here she put on and I don't want to lose those songs... Is there a way I can get the songs off my iPod onto my computer and then restore the iPod? Or is there a good way I can fix the problem?

    i'll have a go at this one:

    that can be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. are the techniques from this document of any help with that?
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • ITunes Music art stays the same for all songs

    This just happened after the update before the most recent one. When I play my iTunes music through the ATV, the artwork in the big screen for Now Playing screen does not update. It shows one album for all songs. As shown below. All songs have the Rolling Stones artwork.  I did a complete reset to factory settings a month ago and that fixed it, but now it is happening again.
    The weird part is when I go to the home screen, I see the correct artwork - ACDC up in the left corner under the Now Playing window. It is only when it is expanded is when I have the problem.
    This problem happens when I play both ITunes Match through the cloud, and my music through me iTunes library on my Pc.
    I

    That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

    I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment.  Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
    I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT.  I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
    My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.

  • I haven't been on iTunes in awhile i downloaded the newest version and now when i sync i try to sync my iPhones library to iTunes Library and says i will lose all music on iPhones library

    I havent been on iTunes and synced up on my laptop for a couple months so i get hooked up on wifi and download the newest version of iTunes and sync up to it and none of my songs are in the comp library.everytime i try to sync my iphones library to the itunes library it says i will lose all songs on iphone.so i'm trying to figure out what i need to do to get the library from my iphone to my itunes library on my laptop!!

    Plug in your iPad and hit sync. It should transfer your purchases. Or go under the purchased option in iTunes store and download your purchases. Connecting the iPad is easier.

  • HT1296 A while back all my songs on my iTunes (laptop) disappeared. All songs are still on my iPod nano, but I'm scared to try to sync. my iPod with computer/itunes as I know someone who accidently wiped out all their songs doing this. Suggestions?

    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - The try syncing. If you synced last time with this computer you should not a have a problem.

  • Itunes freezing and having to sync ALL songs again !!

    1. I sync 3200 songs from iTunes
    2. I listen on iPod
    3. I download 10 more songs into iTunes
    4. When I reconnect iPod it freezes iTunes and iTunes has to be shutdown
    5. Reopen iTunes
    6. Ipod is empty and ALL songs have to be synced again when all I want is to update with 10 new songs???
    Any help is MUCH appreciated !!!

    Quite possibly when iTunes got shutdown during sync is messed up files on iPod so that it looked empty. iTunes seeing an empty iPod proceeded to fill it up again.

  • Skipping through the songs...

    I have had some struggles with my iPod since it was synched with a dying laptop PC computer. After a lot of restores and resets, it seems to be back now. I am now using a different PC desktop successfully with my iTunes. However, I have had a recurrent problem...I live for the Shuffle...so I start Shuffling randomly through my Library and after, say, 3 songs that play normally the iPod begins to skip through the songs rapidly (with the elapsed time of the song always at 0:00 and not proceeding). If I choose a song specifically, then this one song plays but it tries to proceed alphabetically after that and again just skips rapidly through a lot of songs without stopping. If I power it off and back on, it is still in this skipping mode. I have to reset it or resynch it with my computer to get back to temporary functioning again. At first I thought this was related to a new car adaptor I bought, which plugs the long narrow slot at the base of the iPod to my car lighter for both charging and FM radio transmission, because this skipping happens every time in my car. However, it also happens, though less consistently, with just regular play just through the headphones.
    So, is this is a common problem? Is it likely a sign the iPod itself is damaged? Or a holdover from my synching-to-the-computer problems?
    Thanks

    I am having the same issue with my iPod skipping through all songs that I have downloaded from iTunes and only playing the CD uploads. I just have to plug it into my PC and it will refresh from the iTunes but that doesn't do me a lot of good if I am traveling. Anyone with suggestions on how to correct this?

  • Can't copy all songs from an imported CD

    I have an OLD 15gb iPod. I bought a new CD and successfully imported all the songs into iTunes (V.7). I then selected all songs and dragged them to my iPod. However, only some of the songs copied. I cannot even drag some of them one-by-one to my iPod from iTunes.
    I cannot figure out why I can't copy all the songs.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • Not syncing all songs on playlists. Hmm. What's wrong.

    iTunes is not syncing all songs on my playlists with my devices. No changes have been made recently. The PC is a 5 year old Dell, with Itunes on it the whole time. It has the latest itunes version. My devices are a 160 gig Classic, and 2 iPhone 4's. All devices have the latest ios. I synced yesterday like i have hundreds of times before, and each playlist is missing 1 or two songs. Yes, they are all checked in itunes. I've tried both "sync all songs in library", and "sync select playlists". Same Result. Any guesses?

    I am having this issue also.  Not a problem when I had the iPhone 4, but now that I have the 4s, I have missing songs from playlists.  The songs are there on my phone - I can play them, but they won't show up on my playlist.  I can manually add them to the playlist, but they won't "stick".  I can play the songs fine on my PC in iTunes fine also.  Seems like it only applies to songs that were actually purchased from iTunes (iCloud available).
    I tried removing all music from the phone (de-syncing with iTunes) and then doing a fresh sync - no dice.
    I don't want to go through a full new set up of my phone (again) - just for this issue, with no guarantee of success.  How do we escalate this to Apple?  Do they review these posts?

  • IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

    So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
    I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
    I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

    My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

    how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

  • I had to reload all my programs after a  hard drive problem. Now certain songs are skipped over or only play for a sec or 2 then it jumps to next song. all songs played before. Some are Itune bought and some are my old music.

    I had to wipe my hard drive clean and reload all my programs. After reloading Itunes, I noticed that some songs will not play, they are skipped over, or the songs plays for 1-2 secs then it skips on to next song. Any ideas what I did wrong? All songs played before and some of affected songs are bought, some are my old library I copied off of CDs

    Could be a lot of things unfortunately, from corrupt firmware, corrupt format on the disk, a problem with the mainboard, or a problem with the hard disk.
    I figure that if the hard dri've was damaged it would always freeze up on the same file at the exact same point in the music wouldn't it's
    Not necessarily. It could be just an intermittent fault.
    I want to Format my Zen Touch and reload the Firmware to start from scratch, but I first want to backup my 28 GBs of MP3 and WMA files. However I noticed that when I transfer the files to my hard dri've, all the ID3 Information is gone. Now adding ID3 info to 28GB of files will take days!
    Strange. Did you edit the tag data on the player? If so what happens is the tag data changes are made in the Music Library but not in the files themselves. There's only one way to write the changes back and this involves getting a copy of MediaSource 3. You then transfer the files back to the PC Music Library, and use an update function to update the files (the PC Music Library will have the same tag data as the Music Library on the player). One problem is that MediaSource 3 is very large, and not available from Creative as a download. I can try and get a copy to you if you can't find it elsewhere.
