Itunes fades music quickly when switching programs (10.5.1.42)

Itunes fades music quickly down when switching programs (10.5.1.42)
I'm using windows 7 and when i say fades i don't mean at the beggining and end of songs.

This may or may not help, but worth a try...
Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti virus software and try again...

Wi-fi always has to be hand connected when switching programs or useres

I have an imac running on 10.7.5 that wi-fi always has to be hand connected when switching programs or users. Can anyone help? Is something wrong with my settings? It will also look for all surrounding wi-fi connections, I cannot seem to get it to only connect to mine.

There are some apps that let you check the speed of your Wifi or let you analyze your network connections.
Search for "Wifi finder", "System Status" or similar apps.

ITunes takes default focus when switching desktops (spaces)

This is more of a pet peeve than anything, but when I am swiping between desktops (spaces), and I return to my primary desktop, iTunes always takes focus.
99% of the time, I have switched from my web browser to mail (which I keep in another space) and when I return to open a new tab in the browser, iTunes preferences opens almost every time (command-T).
I would normally assume, or prefer, that the OS "remember" where I left off when switching spaces, and put me right back there when I switch back. Is there a way to force this?

You're totally right.
I've already tried to find the differences, but not accurately enough. I'll do it again.
Also, I've noticed another strange thing : even with my rc.lua broken, I have this issue. I think that with a broken rc.lua the default one is used, so it may not come from my configuration. if it doesn't, I have no idea...
I'll check again the other install and will tell you if I have something (but not before tuesday)
[Edit]
I've tried with the default rc.lua, and I indeed still have this issue.
For now, I have a workaround : I just add a small titlebar to every window, as if they were floating (cf very end of my rc.lua posted above).
But if someone has any idea to really fix it, I would be happy

Why does my iTunes store keep freezing when switching iTunes stores?

I have an account in both the Canada store and the U.S. store (I buy U.S. iTunes cards for use as some shows do not come to Canada until nearly a year after its U.S. store release). However, and don't ask why I haven't posted about this earlier I noticed for the past month or two when I switch from one to the other, my iTunes freezes completely forcing me to Force Quit it and restart. It will then be in the store I was switching into (from Canada to U.S. or vice versa) but it still had to freeze and be re-opened before I could access it. Is there any reason this might be happening? I feel like it might've happened after the most recent update because it did not used to do this. I have the latest iTunes update 11.1.3 (8).
Thanks for anyone's help.

Aperture shuts down when switching program

Hello,
For no obvious reason Aperture shuts down whenever I switch to another program such as Safari. What can I do?
Thanks, Matt

What OS and App version are you using?
What messages are present in the Console when that happens?

Photoshop CS5 becomes unresponsive when switching programs?

Photoshop CS5 becomes unresponsive if I switch to another program (ie acrobat, word, google chrome). The menu's still work, but pan, zoom, move, etc. have no effect on the image. I have to save and restart to make the program work correctly and it will do it again as soon as I switch to another window. I'm not sure what this issue would be called (maybe a redraw error), but does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Without system information nobody can advise specifically, but sounds like graphics issues. Update your graphics driver.

IMovie HD and iTunes and Authorizing tunes when switching computers

ARRRRGH!
I am on my 4th MacBook.
I have loads of iTunes, purchased at the Store.
I want to download a tune onto an iMovie I am making.
It tells me I need to authorize. I do this on iTunes. It tells me I am on my 4th of 5 computers. So I am OK?
BUT IT STILL STOPS ME USING THE SONG!
CAN ANYONE help and tell me what on earth is going on???
Many thanks.

Hi jambobwana - The normal response to your problem is to burn the song onto a disc, and import it into iMovie from there.

Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1. Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

ITunes 10.2.1.1, Win 7 (64 bit) Crash when switching Music Videos

This problem has been plaguing me on both my laptop and desktop machines since early iTunes 10 versions. Randomly iTunes will stop responding when it switches from one Music Video to another and can only be fixed by killing the process and restarting iTunes. Thats really inconvenient when I'm working with music in the background having to fix it every 5-7 minutes.
I highly doubt this is a driver issue, my Windows 7 installs are all up to date. I've reinstalled both machines trying to resolve the issue, I've rebuilt my iTunes libraries on the reinstalled machines. I've checked Quicktime versions and reinstalled them and it happens on different videos at different intervals.
Any thoughts?

Unfortunately no. I dont have any IM client installed on my desktop. I do have a G35 keyboard though which allows you to see whats playing.

Extended Pause in Music When Switching Songs (iTunes 8.1)

I'm currently on my work PC and am trying to play music from my iPod via iTunes 8.1. Most of the time I'll be listening to music fine, tracks play flawlessly, no problems. Then randomly, when a song finishes up and is switching to the next song, iTunes locks up for about 10-15 seconds. Music stops playing, my taskbar is frozen and the only way to switch applications is to use Alt+Tab.
I'm running the Last.fm scrobbler along side of iTunes, so I wonder if there may be a problem with that. I'll try disabling Last.fm and play some music and see what happens. A status update on this will be posted in about an hour or so. If it is Last.fm, any ideas what caused iTunes 8.1 to break the connection with Last.fm? Fixable?
Thanks for any help that is provided
*Edit: Okay, so just after posting this I exited the Last.fm scrobbler application and just started clicking the Next button in iTunes. After about 15 songs, iTunes locked up again. I'd also like to note that I have Shuffle and Repeat Playlist enabled. I am also playing my entire iPod library, not a specific playlist.
If more details are needed, let me know.

Hi..
I´m having the same problem with itunes 8.1. I don't have any add ons, scripts, just plain Itunes, with music (mp3) and I´m on a Imac. Tried several things, like re-building my library, checking my mp3, etc...

At my house I also have windows pc, with itunes 8.1 the pc's work OK!!! Same library, etc... I´m having problems with the MAC!!!

How to keep Itunes playing music when switching from one user account to another?

On my old pc, that running XP, itunes would continue playing when I was switching from one user account to another.
Now I have a new PC running win8 and the music stops playing when I switch from one user account to another. I think Itunes is still running on the user that is not active, but the music is not coming out of the speekers.
Does anyone know how I can get the win8 pc to do as the old XP machine?

Hello over here,
The steps below detail how to place an input chooser that will allow for the adjustment of your keyboard layout while on the login screen.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Users & Groups to display the pane (or choose User & Groups from the View menu).
If the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the window is closed, click it, then enter the name and password of an administrator to unlock it.
Click Login Options.
Select the "Show Input menu in login window" checkbox.
From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
At the login window, click the Input menu (shows the name of the currently selected input source next to a keyboard icon) in the upper-right corner of the screen, then select the desired input source or keyboard layout. If you don't see the input source you are looking for, move the pointer over Other Input Sources, then select the input source from the complete list that appears.

ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

I recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?

Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

Music Stutter when playing music in itunes

My music stutters when I scroll or do something in another application when I am playing music in itunes at the same time. They have updated itunes since it started but it didn't fix the problem, in fact I think they made it worse.

Sandy,
Go to this post and 'View All':
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ba4951
Read through the process I went through to find and correct my playback hang (actually it was a system-wide periodic freeze). Don't bother with the related links yet (or b's threadjacks for my attention). Just use it to spark some thoughts and to develop a mind-set that may lead you to your issue.
In the end, I feel I got lucky, rather than good, in finding my problem. Even though I made some quick assumptions, I was always ready to test and discard them just as quickly.
If you have really gone through everything on these Discussions, you are left with self-diagnosis of your system, or a step-wise reinstall, testing iTunes out along every step of the way (ouch).
