Itunes dropping out

Can anyone help me with the below problem?
I have the most recent itunes installed on my MacBook. This is linked to my Onkyo ND S1 transport via USB, which is linked to my DAC via S/PDIF.
When playing music from my MacBook (through itunes) the sound drops out on a regular basis (about once on every song). I have looked at the settings on the Audio Midi Setup, but no luck!

Leaf Roller,
I am not sure if your problem and mine are completely related, but what I did was delete the airport password for the system settings on the keychain access program. When I then restarted the airport software it asked me to update all of my keychain settings and the system is now working. The system passwords can be shown by clicking the "show keychains" tab on the keychain access software. You could also look at deleting the local airport password or the airtunes password and re-entering them.
Hopefully you can get it working and I want to let you know I am not a tech support guy by any means, but just a consumer who tinkers with stuff.

  • Remote speakers in iTunes drop out

    I have Airport Express connected to my PC via a DLink wireless adapter. Whenever the computer (Windows XP) is on the connection is made and never drops out. However if the the PC is on for an extended time, and iTunes has been open with the remote speakers connected, the speakers will drop out and the speaker name is italisied.
    The only way to correct this is to turn off the power to the Airport Express and turn it back on.
    The network is WEP encrpyted and there are no problems what so ever when the speakers are connected. It has been suggested that if the PC goes to sleep this may be the cause. But if it does the connection is still there, just iTunes wont recognise it as being there.
    Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be great.
    Thanks!

    Did you ever fix this? I am having the same issue!

  • ITunes drops out when streaming to a stereo

    recently - the last couple of months - when I have my iTunes streaming vie airport to my stereo, tracks drop out (go silent) for a second or two every 20 or so seconds. It makes no difference which track is playing. It is beyond frustrating.
    I've installed all of the latest updates, I've tried quitting iTunes, rebooting etc, but to no avail. The thing is, it's not consistent - it doesn't happen every time - more like 50% of the time.
    Any ideas? Is it likely to be interruptions in the wireless network? I live in a Manhattan apartment building. Could it be interruptions due to my mac processing other data?
    I'm at a loss & it's driving me mad

    I was reading another thread and this worked perfectly for me. I kept trying to get this computer authorized and it would time out everytime. All I did was go up to the store menu, sign out, and sign back in. Nothing timed out, I was able authorize and I am back to listening to music again.

  • Itunes drops out while playing via apple tv

    playing music through iTunes and apple tv drops out when screen on computer shuts down

    If your computer has gone to sleep then the connection will be lost and thus Apple TV will have nothing to access and cut out.

  • ITunes drops out like everyone else - Netgear WGT624

    OK, I've read the posts and I can't get it straightened out. My wireless router is a Netgear wgt624 with WPA enabled. I'm streaming from my MacBook Pro to the AirPort Express. I've tried WEP and no security at all and it still drops out. I have the latest software for the APE. The MacBook Pro is 8' from the router and 9' from the APE.
    I live in a condo and there are other networks around. Could that be a factor?
    Would switching to a different router solve the problem?
    Thanks.

    Hello grits4jim. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Yes, it is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like KisMAC, MacStumbler, iStumbler, or IPNetMonitorX to determine potential areas of interference...and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them.

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version 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 that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  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).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, 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.

  • Is itunes 8 fixed (audio drop out)?

    itunes plays fine for a number of tracks and then the audio drops out completely at the beginning of a new song despite the interface appearing to be playing as normal.
    This was the major pain - even though it only took a pause and restart to get the audio back - it happened so frequently. I should point out that this may be related to my airport Express network, but it went silent on both my external speakers and my computer.
    I found a number of posts outlining the same problem but no solutions that worked apart from one great one (sorry, can't find it now) which confirmed it was a problem with itunes 8. True enough, after exhausting every other avenue, i have reverted to itunes 7 and the problem has disappeared.
    The problem is that I have lost many other upgraded features so can anyone advise me as soon as this issue is resolved in a more up-to-date version of itunes so I can upgrade without the problem returning.

    Unfortunately, this is a known problem which Apple seems to be brushing under the carpet. Communication problems using Airtunes has been affecting a lot of users here. Try following the procedure outlines in the sticky of this forum entitled ' Solutions for AirTunes Issues in iTunes 8', and hope for the best. If that doesn't work, I guess you're in the same boat as the rest of us, and will have to wait till Apple sorts out this problem.

  • I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on?

    I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.

  • ITunes Radio drops out

    My iTunes often cuts out (abrupt interruptions in music stream), especially the radio portion. I just updated from a PowerBook G4 to a Macbook. i use a linysys cable modem and an airport extreme base station and connect to my stereo through airport express. i have seen others talk about the drop out problem. does anyone have a good solution?

    Radio streams can drop out for a myriad of reasons, only a few of which are under your control. For example, the server sending out the stream is overloaded.
    On your end of things you can try a couple different settings in QuickTime and in iTunes.
    First, in QuickTime, make sure the Streaming speed setting matches or is one step SLOWER than the actual connection speed offered by your ISP. Restart iTunes and see how it performs.
    In addition, iTunes has one setting that can affect streaming performance. My best recommendation is try each of the settings separately and see which works best for your system. The setting is in Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Steaming Buffer Size

  • Left speaker drops out randomly in iTunes 7

    First problem I have had with iTunes.
    After installing v7 my left speaker randomly drops out. Stopping/starting the song again or going to a new song clears it up... but it randomly happens over and over.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Anyone have any ideas? I know I can choose to have 5
    upcoming songs listed, but that interferes with the
    songs I drag over because the 5 randomly selected
    songs get played before whatever I've dragged to the
    playlist.
    You can always drag the songs you've chose ahead of the 5 randomly chosen ones. I use Party Shuffle a lot. Part of the time, I let iTunes select randomly, but as I feel a yen to hear a particular song or group of songs, I highlight them, control- click and select Play Next in Party Shuffle. And sometimes, I just want to rearrange the list. Just highlight and drag up or down.

  • Bass Drops Out On iTunes CDs

    I have been burning mp3 CDs with iTunes for playback in my car equipped with an mp3 disc player and subwoofer. I noticed the bass was very noticeably dropping-out on nearly all mp3 selections. I thought it was my subwoofer until a bought a new car and experienced the same bass drop-out through a different subwoofer. The bass eventually returns during playback, but when I rewind the track, the drop-out does not repeat at the same point in the song.
    In my iTunes playback preferences I have both the Sound Enhancer and Sound Check options unchecked. My equalizer is set to "Rock". I'm using iTunes v7.6.2(9).

    when I rewind the track, the drop-out does not repeat at the same point in the song.
    Cant be the CD then

  • Locating rental movie on iTunes that dropped out while playing through AppleTV

    We just rented a movie from iTunes to play through Apple TV. It dropped out after half an hour and now I can't find it anywhere to finish watching it. Have looked in iTunes library, nothing there. Very annoying - any ideas???

    This is a frequently asked question, which sometimes has a solution and sometimes has no solution. See this long-running discussion on the topic:

  • ITunes 10.4.1 freeze (hang) when webradio stream drop out for any reason.

    Hello,
    My iTunes freeze (hang) when any webradio stream drop out for any reason; e.g. when ISP renews the IP, the radio station has limited the stream duration (as some do) per connection or wireless is cut off e.g. by closing the lid of the MacBook.
    I've to force Quit then iTunes. If I wait (up to an hour for testing) no hung or crash report get generated, iTunes still stay unresponsive.
    System: MacBook Pro 2011
    OS: OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    iTunes version: 10.4.1 (10)
    iTunes 3rd Party add-on's: None
    Any ideas out there?
    Cheers - Lupunus

    I will commiserate. I have this same issue. In some cases, the stream will stop and restart after 15-30 seconds; repeat. In other cases, the stream will stop, and iTunes will switch to the last radio station in that playlist. Then that station will play for a few minutes, and stop, and sometimes restart. But usually iTunes will hang (spinning beach ball) and must be force-quit.

  • As of late in iTunes wireless multiple devices drop out?

    Hello,
    as of late in iTunes wireless multiple devices drop out about once a day? I have 2 airports and an Apple Tv connected which I have been using for several years with no problem.
    I think this started with the latest iTunes update, but I'm not sure? Usually I have to quit iTunes and then up again, but sometimes I also restart the computer to get the devcies shown again. Are there any thoughts on that? Thanks!

    what would happen if I deleted the folders?
    Will the duplicates still show in iTunes?
    What happens if I rename the folders something else?
    Yes, the duplicates will still show in iTunes, but, as the directory has changed, iTunes will lose contact, and therefore show those files with an exclamation point.
    Although, if you had "copy into library folder" checked, the duplicates will remain untouched, as they already are in the central location, where iTunes is told to store the music.
    If this isn't the case, you can use this behaviour to get rid of the duplicates:
    Once you renamed/deleted the folders with the duplicates, open iTunes. All the duplicates in question should now show with the said exclamation point next to them.
    The next step would be to highlight the entire library manipulate an info, that is usually not needed. (I suggest using the BPM- field, enter "BPM: 96" f.e.)
    Changes will not apply for lost track, therefore you can sort the library by BPM (or the info of your choice) and remove all tracks with an empty field in that collumn in one shot.
    Hope that helps
    Post back, if you have any questions.
