Itunes 8 visualizer problems with music

yeah i just got itunes 8 few days ago, and i was litening to music with the new visualizer on then i heard all sorts of cracking noises, even the music started to slow down. and it only cracks and slows down while i have the new visualizer on!
i dont get it! how can the visualizer make the music crack to the point where it sounds like the speakers are going to expload, and how can it make the music slow down?
how do i get ride of all the cracking and slow music with the new visualizer on?

I have recently noticed problems with the visualizer on my brand new MacBook with 2.4GHz and 4GB or RAM; It won't render the effects some times. I have tried it with nothing else running except iTunes and it still will not work properly sometimes. I would post some pictures but it seems i am unable to. If you want to see them (2) than leave an email address for me to send them to.

  • Latest iTunes update problems with repeated error messages every 65 seconds??

    After this mornings' update of iTunes.  Problems with Applemobiledeviceservices.exe.  Error message every 65 seconds - software exception (oxc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812fd3.
    How do I stop this?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Problems with music on iOS8?

    Hi!
    I'm currently using iOS8.0 on my iPhone 5 and have had problems with music deleting frequently and my phone freezing when I try to re-download it. for some reason it's only letting me have about 70 songs at any given point, but if I have more than that then the next time I open the music app I tend to find a lot of them have been deleted? This is incredibly irritating as I frequently use my phone for music, also whemever I'm downloading songs it tends to freeze my phone and I have to restart it.
    I've tried updating to 8.2 but it's not letting me currently.
    Any suggestions?

    Oops, it says I'm on iPhone 4 iOS 6.1.1, but I'm on iPhone5 iOS 8

  • ITunes Match problems with new PC

    I have around 25,000 songs that were mostly matched, some uploaded, when I first signed up for iCloud on my previous laptop (64 bit Windows 7 Pro). My iTunes library resided on an external USB drive and iCloud/iTunes Match was mostly working, though I still had some problems with duplicate songs that I had hoped iTunes Match would be smart enough to help me eliminate (it's not). Duplicates came mostly from several earlier attempts to move and clean up my iTunes library, but that's another story...
    Anyway, I got a new laptop (previous one died, hard disk failed), on which I installed iTunes, which I set up with the same external hard drive holding the iTunes library. So the music files were the same. Had to import all the songs from the hard drive which was set up to hold my iTunes Library. The trouble is, iTunes Match apparently thinks I am trying to add 25,000 more songs, when in fact they are the same songs as before. How can I tell it this? When I run iTunes match it says I already have the maximum 25,000 songs, and all the songs in iTunes show up as an error. I can't delete them from iCloud because I can't see them in iTunes! The other laptop is gone. There is apparently no independent way to access iCloud-based music except through iTunes.
    I just realized that this is probably the problem: since the previous laptop hard drive died, whatever secret info Apple stores to identify it as authorized for my iTunes account was lost, and I had no chance to deauthorize it. So it thinks I am trying to match a new set of 25,000 songs (though these are almost all the same songs as before, so I would think iTunes Match could figure this out, but I guess not). I decided to deauthorize all 5 PC's on my account - but I can't do this until March 13, 2013, because I apparently did this last March, no doubt to solve another iTunes problem (seems to happen at least once a year that something in iTunes gets screwed up).
    I sent Apple a request to deauthorize the dead PC (or all of them if they will), but does anyone have any alternate suggestions? I would like to be able to remove non-needed and/or duplicate songs from iCloud, and apparently the only way to do this is to delete them from iTunes (locally), in which case you are supposed to get a prompt to remove from iCloud or not. But all my songs are flagged as "error" in the iCloud status column, so I have no way to see or modify what's out there, since the associated PC is dead.
    I also have most of these ~25K songs on Google Music and in Amazon Cloud. So I'm considering just dumping iCloud and using iTunes locally only (though I'm afraid if I do that it will delete all my local iTunes songs - guess I would have to reinstall from a backup in that case). When iTunes Match works, it's very nice and automatic and convenient since I listen to music on iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad (yes, I drank Steve's Kool-ade). But as with many things Apple, when it DOESN'T work, it makes you want to slit your wrists. LOL (not).
    Thanks,for any advice.
    -Bruce

    Thanks bmw249. I have good news and bad news. Good news: Apple very quickly deauthorized my computers so I was able to drop the lost computer that was taking up a slot and (I suspected) confusing iTunes Match.
    The bad news is that this didn't make any difference. Nearly all the songs in my iTunes library have an iCloud status of "error" and when I turn on iTunes Match, it churns for a while before telling me that I already have 25,000 songs in the cloud and can't add any more. What I expected is for it to recognize that most of the 25K songs are the very same ones sitting in this local iTunes library. It should be substantially fewer than 25K because I also deleted 1000+ classical music pieces that I have sitting in Amazon Cloud, in hopes of freeing up space for my recently purchased and created music to be uploaded to iCloud. But no dice.
    I am now downloading ~800 songs that iTunes thinks I have only on iCloud. I then plan to figure out how to deactivate iCloud and iTunes Match on this PC so that nothing will be deleted locally when I cancel my iCloud account (it runs out in March 2013 but I assume I can cancel and deactivate the account sooner). The "convenience" of this service isn't worth the many dozens of hours of hours I have spent trying to get it to work the way Apple says it works. Amazon Cloud (also costing ~$25 a year) has a limit of something like 20 GB and no specific limit on number of songs. I buy most music there anyway and have already uploaded most of the rest, so this makes the most sense. I really like the way iTunes Match can (in theory) keep all my music sync'd and smoothly stream to my iPhone even over 3G. Amazon Cloud takes a bit more effort but does much the same thing.
    Thanks for listening. I'm assuming this is a "moderated" forum and that this post will soon be removed for my Amazon comments. 

  • ITunes sync problems with iphone 5

    Is anyone having problems with iTunes (11.1.2) not syncing properly with their iPhone 5?
    Some examples:
    Example 1
    Existing playlist on Mac Mini (Mac OS X v10.7.5) edited to add a song
    iPhone 5 (iOS v 7.0.3) "Sync Music" setup to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres', with edited playlist selected
    iPhone 5 hardwired to Mac Mini and 'Sync' clicked.
    Upon completion of sync, playlist is not updated
    Follow-up Action taken - unchecked "Sync Music" in iTunes for iPhone 5 and click 'Apply'
    Upon completion of sync, all 'Playlists' are removed, but all 'Artists' and 'Songs' are still listed.
    Re-checked "Sync Music" and clicked 'Apply'...sync showing that all selected music is being copied to the iPhone
    Upon completion of 2nd sync, "Playlist" now updated.
    This type of issue happens constantly.  I experienced something similar after I added an album and then "Selected" that artist to be included in the sync.  The initial sync did not include this new ablum.  It was only added to the phone after I unchecked "Sync Music", synchronized, and then re-checked it and synchronized again.
    Can someone provide some insight as to why this is happening?

    Alright. I was having the same problem at first. I would tell iTunes to synch playlists and it wouldn't synch the playlists at all, so it kept all the playlists that had been on my iphone to begin with. I followed some steps somewhere in Apple Discussions to get my iTunes to synch. So now it at least synchs!
    I did this:
    1. in itunes with the iphone plugged in uncheck the Sync Music Box from itunes
    2. on your iphone go to settings/general/usage/music and DELETE all music I know it's scary but trust me it works!
    3. power down the iphone
    4. unplug iphone from computer
    5. power down the computer
    6. power up iphone
    7. power up computer
    8. plug in iphone
    9. check Sync Music Box (except it was already checked for me...)
    10. sync
    NOW my problem is that a smart playlist that I've been trying to synch has 106 songs on my iTunes (and according to iTunes that's how many songs are on the playlist on the iPhone), but on the iPhone itself, it has 274 songs on it. They aren't even duplicates, they're random songs that aren't on that playlist!
    I really don't see the sense in backing it up and restoring it from the backup since that's literally giving the phone the same problems, and I'd clearly like to avoid wiping the slate clean and starting over both on my phone and on iTunes (I have 7100 songs. Would YOU want to wait that long to rebuild iTunes!?). Any tips?

  • Missing ID Tags & Other Problems with Music Transfers

    Hello,
    I have been having some inconsistent problems with adding songs to my main iTunes Music Folder. Occasionally, songs will transfer without some of the ID tag information, despite the transfer (or consolidate) method used. Let me explain...
    My main 30000 song and 170 GB iTunes database is located on my PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz DP at home. I usually rip small portions of my CD’s on the road via my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz (assuring that all of the tag information is correct). Once home, I transfer the iTunes Music Folder (usually only 1 GB big) from my PowerBook to the Desktop of my G5. From there, I drag the folder onto my iTunes window and allow it to duplicate directly into my large iTunes Music Folder. Once done, I delete the temporary iTunes Music Folder from both the PowerBook and the G5. I also delete the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files from my PowerBook before starting up the process with another batch of CD’s. This is how I have built most of this database and only recently begun to have problems. The problem songs always retain the song name and, since I have always used the default ID tag setting, most songs show version 2.2 to 2.4.
    In my troubleshooting, I tried to make completely new iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files by using this same method with my entire main iTunes Music Folder (yes, it took a long time to finish and I had a clone for backup). Suprisingly, almost 10% of those songs suffered from the same problem! Reattempts with smaller transfers showed no change. In this process, I also noted that some song files transferred, but showed NO signs in the new iTunes Library!
    As I am a big fan of the iTunes AppleScripts by Doug Adams, I have ways to discover and correct these problems. However, I still would like to find out what is causing it. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Would converting every song to the ID tag version 2.4 make any difference? Obviously, this is my most prized database of information and I want to protect it, as well as administer any preventitive maintenance that it needs for good health.
    If we learn from our mistakes, then I obtained my PhD years ago,
    Dr. Z.

    It shouldn't matter what size your library is - if the information is in your files then it should get imported.
    1. Are you sure your problematic mp3 files are in fact valid mp3 files? If you open Terminal.app, and type this (substituting your mp3):
    hexdump -C -n 30 ~/Desktop/Sample.mp3
    You should see some hex & ASCII come back - for example:
    00000000 49 44 33 03 00 00 00 03 13 68 54 59 45 52 00 00 |ID3......hTYER..|
    00000010 00 15 00 00 01 fe ff ff ff 00 7f 00 7f 00 |..............|
    All id3v2 mp3's begin with "ID3" and the 4th byte represents the id3v2 tag version (2,2, 2.2.1, 2.3, 2.4); mp3's with an id3v1 headers are a little odd, but they generally begin with "FF FB" or "FF FA". I've seen moov files masquerading... all kinds of things. These won't hold tag data, and so would exhibit the behavior you describe. I myself got duped into making these abominations by using QuickTime to select a chunk of an mp3 and renaming to "file.mp3" - when it was a full blown quicktime movie that it really exported as.
    2. Are you sure the information exists within your file at all? All tags get written back into the file (except I think rating and certainly playcount). You can use any number of utilities to get at the data, some easy (python/perl utilities) or that require compiling (id3lib, taglib). You can get use the above method (with a longer number than 30) or a hex editor and look for the values manually as well.
    Using for example PyID3 (http://icepick.info/projects_old/pyid3/), download & extract; open a Terminal.app window and type:
    export PYTHONPATH=/Some/path/to/YOUR/PyID3_folder
    (or you can just type up the the = and drag-n-drop the folder onto the window & hit return. Then type:
    python -c 'import id3'
    Then in the examples folder, drag-n-drop the "listid3v2.py" script onto that same terminal window/session, and then an mp3 file (and hit return). If whatever information is missing from there, it isn't in your file. Note: PyID3 might have some issues with a v2.4 tag (specifically year is carried on the TDRC tag, and TYER is obsoleted). You can get an v2.4-enabled id3lib binary here:
    http://members.verizon.net/pucklock/id3Infiltr8/IDInfiltr8.htm
    Find "id3info" in the support folder, and drag-n-drop that binary onto a Terminal.app window, followed by your mp3 file. It should spit back all your info (except Grouping). The application itself should do much the same, just not the full breadth of tags available - just use it on copies.
    3. Converting to a different tag version wouldn't impact most tags (year being 1 major exception) - the other conversions (latin1, unicode, blahblah) woudn't change anything if you use mainly ASCII text. It could if you're big into Ukranian Progressive Polka - and used Cyrillic to tag everything.

  • Problems with music app after upgrading to iOS 5

    i'm very particular with the organization of my ipod stuff. it has to have album art and it has to be properly sorted out by artist and album. after upgrading to iOS 5 i found several problems with the music app:
    1. some artists dont show on the artist section. i've tried fixing the album artist info, sorting info etc and nothing.
    2. some albums duplicate themselves in the albums section and it only gets cured if you delete a certain song in the album. if you try putting the song back the albums duplicate again.
    3. some album art dont show. i've tried plugging in the album cover directly to the song/s in the ipod, and deleting the song and recopying the song from itunes and still nothing.
    anyone care to weigh in?
    did i mess up the installation?

    I just spent hours trying to solve same (I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen) and I am very picky about its organization too. What I can tell you:
    1- The artists suddenly not showing in the artist section:  Double-check that their albums are not marked as "part of a compilation"... because I had 8 artists disappearing after the upgrade and all their albums were marked as "part of...". After removing that "compilation" tag, all 8 artists reappeared where they had been all along under the previous iOS, namely under the Artists category.
    2- I had an album that did not want the artwork to show. And each time I was able to transfer it back with the art, it would duplicate tracks on the iPod Touch. I finally was able to solve it by deleting manually from the iPod the album (by slowing dragging my finger to the right on the album title and click on the delete button when it appeared) then by deleting it also from the iTunes library and syncing. Then I reloaded the album in iTunes and resynced on the iPod Touch and the album reappeared without duplicates and with the artwork.
    3- Finally, one album was correct (track-wise) but no artwork. I double-checked everything and manually check the info for each track and 2 tracks had not artwork attached to it and a 3rd had 2 artworks. I manually attached the correct artwork to each track THEN to the whole album. Then I resynced and everything FINALLY worked fine.
    OUFF!

  • Itunes visualizer problem

    Recently i was messing around with my itunes visualizer when it suddenly went into full screen mode. I havent been able to switch it back to the normal mode and found no help in the 'help' bar. Does anybody have any knowledge of what to do in this situation? thanks

    Well I guess I won't get an answer here, can anyone tell me who/where to find out what the problem is? Thanks!

  • 5800 Sooo many problems with music Player

    Hey everyone... I'm kind of at my wit's end here... I got the 5800 about 3 weeks ago, and I've just had problem after problem with the music functions...
    #1 problem: I don't use Nokia music as my main player (obviously, who does?) I use media monkey or itunes.
    #2: I synced using media monkey once manually with a few albums and it worked perfectly, then I tried auto sync -all albums added to the card became "unknown" artists and albums... manual sync no longer works
    #3: completely separate to this, music I add using nokia music periodically decides that it is by unknown artist and unknown album and unknown genre
    #4: this happens only sometimes with music, but Always with podcasts
    #5: Podcasts are now blocked from me entirely, I can only enter 'by title' and then tapping on anything within it gives 'system error' - I had this once before and sort of fixed it by taking everything off the card and putting it back on, that doesn't work anymore. (ARGH)
    #6: even from day 1 I've had problems with the headset in the box... I use my own headphones with the remote, but it also periodically stops working, along with the handset volume key (but oddly, the volume key works with radio) I also fixed this once by adding new files and deleting others in nokia music, that doesn't work now either
    #7: I reset it once, deleting everything useful, but still leaving me with all the problems
    #8: I don't think it's news to anyone that Nokia music sucks big time but i honestly can't get it to load without it crashing 3 times first. It is resource hungry and the f***ing splash blocks everything when it tries to load - I also can't edit the properties of anything once it's on the phone which is s**t
    #9: can someone please help me find an alternative sync program so i don't have to use nokia music?
    #10: nokia, your forum editing gadget is buggy... I try to delete a space and it deletes two characters instead.
    HELP ME PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU
    Thanks.
    Meg 

    I'm rather sorry Meg to hear that you believe i am patronising you. you are clearly making an assumption that is untrue, as if you had read my post clearly you would have seen that i am offering possible solutions which is the purpose of this board. whether this comes across as patronising because i have had prior experience with your problems, and not saying 'may' or 'maybe' all over my post just to make sure = you taking my advice too personally.
    and yes, you CAN defragment the registry, programs such as Auslogics BoostSpeed perform this function, and if you do not believe me, then Google defragmentation, read documentation, unfortunately you are incorrect on this notion. and as I said, i am offering solutions, you are the one who is assuming that i believe you have an incompetent level of knowledge which is not the case. i am offering solutions, you just took it too personally. and at the end of my post there is a , which stands for a light-hearted joke, if that hadn't been there perhaps you would have justification to take issue with me. but again i am stating possible causes.
    so just chill out ok? we are all trying to help you on these boards, some of us offer a more technical approach to attempting to solve problems, but it does not mean we are patronising users. hope your problems with your phone can be solved.
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • ITunes visualizer problems...

    Whenever I try and run iTunes visualizer on a secondary monitor, my entire computer lags extremely badly, as in the mouse no longer moves smoothly, however if I simply drag it over to my primary monitor I receive no issues. I have tried disabling directX and that did not change anything. Its not a refresh rate issue or something along those lines because I can watch full screen video in a variety of different media players on it and not receive any lag. I receive the same problem if I try and watch a video from my iTunes movies library on my second monitor (not on the primary), but its nowhere near as bad, it only is annoying watching video, not unusable like it is with the visualizer.
    I have a Radeon X550 if its a problem with the video card.

    if I switch which monitor is primary, it works on the second monitor(the one that used to be secondary), yet it still messes up on the secondary(the one that used to be primary)

  • ITunes 10 Problem Syncing Music

    Hey,
    I just got a laptop with windows 7, and I've owned a 2nd gen iTouch for quite some time. I downloaded iTunes 10, and I don't know if there's a problem, or if it's just bad. Syncing my music is harder than ever to do now. Before with iTunes 9.something it did it on it's own, but I have to select junk?
    Can someone tell me if there's a problem with it, or if I'm dumb.
    And if I'm dumb, could someone please tell me how to sync music to my ipod from iTunes 10.

Maybe you are looking for
