ITunes 7 visualizer causes songs to skip

Hi. Recently installed iTunes 7 and whenever I turn on the iTunes visualizer the song that is playing (or any song) skips badly. I did not have this problem with previous iTunes and updating to 7.0.2 made no difference.
  Windows XP  

the skipping is happening to me too, which never happend with the older versions of itunes... but for me, i think its that mini istore menu that is on during song play... i cant seem to find how to turn it off...

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • ITunes visualizer causes Mac Mini to crash

    When I run iTunes visualizer on full screen, after a while (about an hour into playing) it causes my whole system to crash. I thought it was the mac mini at first (because a friend of mine ran his macbook pro with itunes visualizer and it never crashed for 8 hours) so i got it exchanged for a new mac mini, but the new one also crashed while running iTunes visualizer for a while.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Also, does anyone know how to fix this situation? I feel like it is a mac mini problem, but it could also be itunes....?
    Please help!
    Thanks
    James

    You're not alone Cupfish, I have the same problem - Using the latest Mac Mini and latest iTunes!
    I can sometimes rectify it by toggling visualizer on and off using the keyboard, but half the time it is completely locked up and requires a restart.
    Will try and do a bit of digging into the problem myself, let us know how you get on.

  • Latest iTunes update caused static and skips in music

    I'm not quite sure how to check what update I last did, but ever since I did it, my music has had a static sound and skips on occasion. I know my friend who also does not have a Mac is experiencing the same thing and I'm wondering if it's connected to the latest update.

    There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues - including problems with Bluetooth devices - that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
    Another possible remedy relates to a potential clash between the 64-bit version of iTunes 12 and Google Chrome; some users have reported that uninstalling Chrome (not just not having it running) resolves the iTunes playback issues without having to install the alternative version referred to above.
    Finally, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Why does iTunes Match download songs that I skip?

    I haven't seen this question posted yet, but feel free to direct me to any pertinent posts.
    I've been using iTunes Match for the last couple days, and all in all I really enjoy the service. There is one issue that I've yet to see addressed on these boards yet though; why is iTunes Match downloading songs that I skip? I listen to all my music in random, so occasionally there will be a song I just don't want to hear at the moment. I assumed that if I don't listen to a song completely that it would not be downloaded to my device. Not true apparently. I was able to use about half a gig of data in a few hours just by skipping songs. Every song that was skipped, even if I didn't hear a single second of it, was downloaded (at an average size of 5-8 MB). I sincerely hope this is just a bug and not a 'feature'.
    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

    I have noticed this too. I filled up my phone VERY fast yesterday.
    and deleting is not easy, lots of left swipe DELETE action, took a while.

  • Itunes 10.5 Purchased songs are skipping please HELP

    Hi, I have a new Dell PC (a month old) with all drivers up to date, running Itunes 10.5.0.142. I also have a brand new Iphone 4s that I just got Wednesday. Everything seemed to be working well then all of the sudden, when playing Itunes on my PC some songs won't complete and they'll skip to the next song. The amount of time left is random. One song will skip with 1:09 to go and another will skip with :49 to go.
    On the Iphone, the songs will also skip (at the exact same spot in the song) except the album art remains until the song "should really" complete and then finally the song that it had skipped to, information will appear.
    For example, James Blunt's song Cry will skip with 1:09 to go but on my Iphone I will not see the lyrics of the next song until the Cry song finished at the time it should of (the clock is still ticking but the song has skipped ahead).
    Much of my library is being affect, but NOT every song on affected albums.
    MP3 Music that I imported from CD's is NOT being affected at . It appears to only be happening with AAC Audio Files with albums I have bought from the Apple Store.
    Unfortuneatly this is rendering my library useless and reminding me why purchasing physical CD's still makes sense (and I haven't bought a flesh and blood CD since Itunes was born.)
    What I have already done to try to fix it:
    I rebooted my PC
    I reinstalled Itunes, I also redownloaded it in case my install file was corrupt
    I unsynced the music on my Iphone and then resynced it again adding the songs back
    I tryed the trick I found here in the forums that says to right click and create AAC version, the James Blunt Album is protected, I'm not allowed to do that
    I went to GET INFO>OPTIONS and the start and stop blocks are NOT checked on any song in my library
    Things I've done recently since the problem appeared:
    I bought a ring-tone maker app and made 3 ringtones and synced them with my phone and I'm using them currently on my phone
    (will try uninstalling all that right now)
    I got a new Iphone, having had an android phone prior
    Does anyone else have any ideas or any experience with this please???
    Thanks so much for your input!

    I'm livid too Dan and I haven't heard a word from anyone in support. Since this was called Apple Support Communities I assumed Apple Staff used it to offer support. I suppose that's wrong? I don't know if I'm waiting on an update to the software or if I've just lost hundreds of dollars invested in my music library. If I don't hear from someone soon, I'm done with music purchases on Itunes.
    Does anyone know where I should ask for help if this isn't a support forum?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes?   Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere.  Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

  • My Itunes library is skipping some songs which is also affecting my ipod, it is always the same songs that skip at the same place, it is not all songs.

    Since moving my Itunes to a Vista, it found songs that I downloaded a long time ago and added them to my library but now some songs (not just the ones that were lost in apple land) are skipping after playing a few seconds then it moves onto another song.  The same songs are skipping at the same place when played on a computer and also my ipod.

    i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
    once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.

  • 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.

    What causes songs in Itunes to not be located?

    Hi,
    Do you have iTunes match turned on on your computer?
    If you cancelled your iTunes Match subscription, you will not be able to download your music except for previous iTunes purchases.

  • Itunes store's songs skipping after a few seconds of playing

  • TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Songs are skipping - garbled on itunes player

    In the past few days, the songs that I purchased from the itunes store are garbled and skip upon playback. I tried downloading the new version of itunes, but it's still happening. Any news of this with other users, or how do I fix this?

    Try going into iTunes, Deauthorizing your computer in the Store menu, play one of the songs in iTunes that won't load. When prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Resync.
