ITunes 7 and WOW - press a key and get static and skipping galore

I am trying to run iTunes 7 while playing WOW. Whenever I press any key in WOW, itunes goes nuts - static, skipping etc.
iTunes 6 worked flawlessly.
Buggy buggy buggy.

Having the same problem with EQ2. It didn't do this before with iTunes 6. I ran sound in EQ2 (softly), iTunes (soft) and Ventrilo (primary sound) and everything was flawless. What kind of an upgrade is this??? Where do we go to rollback to the old version ? Oh yeah...that's System Restore isn't it?
buh-bye version 7!!
I'm using a SoundBlaster X-Fi Fata1ity edition sound card with latest drivers so I know it's not due to an outdated card.

Itunes closes whenever i press a key

Itunes 8.2 works fine, except... whenever i press a key on my keyboard anywhere, not just while in a text box, the entire program just closes. and yes. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and repairing the file. i don't know what to do. it's so frustrating pressing any key while itunes is open automatically closes it. i even tried toggling the one key navigation.

No, I've never heard of that!
Try these MSCONFIG directions and see if it still happens.

Itunes 7 and skipping?

I have iTunes 7.1.1.5 and when I play cds the sound cracks or sounds like it is skipping. If I import the songs, everything is fine. If I play the CD with another program (windows Media Player, etc.) everything is fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, removed plugins, enable Maximum Audio Hardware Acceleration and done just about every other suggestion I have come across. I did try to reinstall an earlier version of iTunes but then it said that my music library couldn't be used because it is connected to a later version of iTunes. Is this a problem with itunes 7? Can I install an earlier version? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

You're correct about the problem...CD playback is the problem-imported tracks are fine.

Itunes popping and skipping

Recently I added wave files of music my friend created to my itunes. Ever since I did this, those songs play correctly, but every other song in my itunes have popping noises and skipping sounds. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot!!

hiya!
first let's check through the possibilities in this document. if you've got an itunes 5.0.x or 6.0.x, you'll need to check your QT 7 sound out settings.

Itunes launches when I press Tab Key

Anyone got any ideas on this one? Whenever I use the Tab key in MS Word it launches iTunes. If I’m trying to create tables or list items in Word it becomes a nightmare and takes forever.
Even if I’m online filling in a form and press Tab to enter the next box, it launches iTunes

Wow, I just deleted my playlist that I had and that fixed the problem..

Itunes distortion and skipping

Hi,
I have used itunes for several years now and have about 10k tracks on the HTPC. last week i discovered 80%+ of all my tracks were skipping and really distorted. I was running version 7. i upgraded to version 8 with no luck. i also downgraded to version 6 and deleted all my itunes library information this still has not helped. i have used an advanced uninstaller to remove all Itunes and quick time components and this still is not helping. All the tracks run perfectly in WMP and Real player and this is driving me insane. anyone got a a fix for this ?
PS I have 2.5 gig of ram and an athlon 64bit processor which is more than adequate for itunes.

Here's some help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1362
Some PC's may encounter problems if 'Sound Enhancer' is enabled. A few users have also encountered problems with their sound if they have the Equalizer ON.
"Some PC audio hardware has audio-enhancing effects that can conflict with iTunes' Sound Enhancer feature. To resolve these conflicts, do one of the following:
Turn off the effects for your PC's audio hardware using the configuration software that came with your hardware.
Disable the Sound Enhancer feature in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Click Edit > Preferences
Click the Playback tab.
Deselect Sound Enhancer."

Itunes studdering and Skipping

I just purchased a macbook pro with leopard. I work as a DJ and use my computer to play all my music. I plug a mix board into into my computer through the head phone jack to play the music. Itunes skips and studders on various songs in different places. I know this is not a problem with the songs themselves because it does not happen in the same place eveytime. Also I haven't been able to get the songs to skip while listening at home. When the songs starts to studder my arrow and comp just kind of freezes up for a minute and I can't do anything. Almost like it is busy reading something but I have nothing else on, not even my airport. My previous computer was a powerbook G4 and I never had this problem.
Is there a known problem with macbook pro or leopard that could be making my itunes do this? Does anyone have a possible solution? Please help my work is greatly suffering from this!!!

i too have had this problem - twice in the past two days. with just itunes/safari/adium/mail and activity monitor running. the first time, i got up quickly with my macbook pro took two steps and itunes started skipping the last halfsecond on loop and the mouse froze. i rebooted and repaired permissions.
just now i woke up for work and my router had crapped out. i couldn't access it through safari so i went to do a manual restart, and the moment i unplugged it, itunes started skipping and the mouse froze.
both times i didn't wait to see if it would even out, i just restarted and repaired permissions, but i've had this computer for half a year with no problems like this and now within the past week and a half two weeks i've had one kernel panic and now two of these

Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

Error message on screen: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key comes on

Error message comes on screen: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. What do I do?

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
If the above is not possible or failes, then replace your hard drive.

"No Bootable Device -- insert a boot disk and press any key" Error Message.

Last month I just got a HP netbook (HP Mini 110-3100) and when I got it from the box, the error message; "No bootable device -- insert a boot disk and press any key" appeared. But then I managed to boot up the netbook normally. After that, I can use the netbook normally but the error message keeps appeared and becomes more frequent and now I even cannot turn on the netbook.
Is it a hard disk failure?
p/s: yesterday accidentally I can turn on the netbook without any problems. Did a lot of Hard Disk Maintenance by some softwares downloaded from the internet. But now already cannot turn on.
p/s/s: i have no cd/dvd drive, and also no 8GB usb drive.
p/s/s/s: what should i bring if i want to send the netbook to the HP centre? just bring the netbook?

I would suggest try and reseat the hard drive and check...If you still have the issue, than take it to the service center...And you will need to take only netbook to Service center...

HP Pavilion g6-2330dx. "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key" Memory test failed

Hi. So I am trying to help a friend with her laptop. It's a HP Pavilion g6-2330dx.
Product #: D1C01UA#ABA
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
Windows 8
ADATA 4GB RAM
Toshiba 640GB HDD from the looks of it.
The laptop is unable to boot into Windows, so I suspect the hard drive. But I ran the hard drive test and it passed all the tests. The SMART test and both the short and long test. I ran the tests multiple times and it passed each time. I tried reseating the hard drive and still no go. I also removed the HDD and connected it to my desktop PC to see if it detects and it did. Ran the Windows 7 own HDD test and it passed.
Currently, there doesnt seem to be any operating system at all on the HDD. When I check, there is a C: drive of ~90GB partition that is ~90GB free, but inside there are Windows files/folders. There is also a D: drive Recovery partition that says ~26GB with only ~2GB free, but when I go inside there's only ~350MB worth of data.
So then I ran the memory test (in BIOS) and it failed immediately. I reseated the RAM module. I tried the other slot. It still failed. So is it safe to say the memory is the cause of this problem?
Pressing the F11 key that is supposed to take me to the System Recovery only leads me back to the black screen with "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
I even tried to install Windows 7 to see if it'll work. I was able to get the laptop to boot/read off the Windows 7. But when I click to install, it asks for a boot device driver or something like that.
My friend doesn't have the recovery disk either. I guess she lost it.
Anyway, is it as simple as replacing the memory or could it actually be the HDD (even though it passes)?
EDIT: This is what the System Log in BIOS says
0021           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
The date was the first time I ran the tests. I havent received those numbers (error codes?) since.
EDIT: Just for kicks, I ran Memtest 2.11 just now (forgot I had the disc) and it immediately went red with thousands of errors, hah.

Hi bghs,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and information.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that you were unable to boot into Windows, and you suspected the hard drive and tested it, but it passed both short and long test. With that being said and the fact that it also passed leads me to believe the hard drive is fine.
You tested the memory and it failed. You tried reseating and swapping slots but they still failed the test.
I would test each card individual with the memtest to determine if it is just one or both cards that have an issue.
When you installed it in another computer, you did see the recovery partition. Once the memory issue is resolved, if you are still unable to boot into Windows, I suggest you do a recovery with the minimized image.   Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) to assist you with that process.
I hope this helps.
