ITunes is skipping and mouse is jerky...plz help!

I am running iTunes 7.0.2.16 and I am having trouble!
The songs are skipping at the beginning of the track and it persists for 5 to 10 seconds into the song. Also, the mouse is jerky when the iTunes window is open and it is playing music. Another thing that I have noticed is that when a new song starts and I am working is another program like typing in this post and when typing a word doc. and typing in an IM window the cursor stops and I can type way ahead of it then all of a sudden it catches up...what's up with that?
I don't know what is causing it but I get tired of the trouble! I tried disabling dirctX like suggested in previous posts but that didn't work either....
Please Help Me Out!!!
Thanks in advance!

Ok, so I just thought that I'd open Windows Task Manager and take a look at CPU usage while playing iTunes. I find that with about 5 programs open and iTunes playing the CPU usage averages about 40% but around the end and beginning of the next song the CPU usage goes to 100% and iTunes starts skipping!
So, what is the remedy for this problem?

    How and why did you install that?  What steps did you take in that process.  I can then help with some steps to undo them.

  • ITunes songs skip and pause the abruptly stop and skip to another song

    Please help. I have had my macbook for just under two weeks and earlier this evening my itunes has stopped working properly. Every song i play it skips and pauses much like a cd, and then eventually stops abrubtly mid song and skips to another. Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

    I just bought a new MacBook and am having the same problem with certain songs. It'll pause at the same point each time, then jump to the next song.

  • Satellite P30-110 video, sound and mouse is jerky

    Hi everyone,
    I am running Win XP Pro. I had been having problems with my laptop for sometime now that whenever the hard drive was nearing full the entire system would start acting up in that when the system started up the Windows login sound would sounds like a CD skipping, then my mouse would jump around the screen and basically not move in a flowing manner, if I then try to watch video its like watching a DVD that skips and jumps every few seconds.
    So to try and rectify this I did a much needed clean install of Windows. This seemed to fix the problem until after I installed the ATI display driver, I think, it may have been the previous drivers for the Toshiba Console/Control. So if the problem is the display adapter, what other options do I have? Or is it something else altogether?
    Any help will be much appreciated!

    >So if the problem is the display adapter, what other options do I have?
    If this issue is related to the graphic chip then you have no many options; in such case the chip malfunction and should be replaced. But the point is that the graphic chip is not possible but only the whole motherboard replacement!
    The mobo is not cheap and it would be a costly affair to replace such part. In my opinion its not worth to replace the mobo
    But the point is that we dont know whats wrong exactly. Maybe its not a graphic card problem.
    Did you try to reinstall the OS using the Recovery disk?
    You should try this because the recovery disk already contains the necessary drivers and tools.
    The issue could be related to a HDD issue. if the HDD start to malfunctions (it would rotate slower or some sectors would be damage) then the access to the data would be affected and the notebook could start to interrupt.
    As you see, this are only some suggestions and I think nobody would be able to say, whats wrong until the notebooks hardware has been checked!

  • Itunes still skipping and now other players skip too

    I made all the changes suggested and for a couple days itunes was working perfectly. Now its skipping again. Now jet audio and wmp also skip though not nearly as much as itunes. I thought it might be system related but I have enough memory, fairly new computer. There has to be a long term solution to this skipping problem, I just don't know what it is.
    I followed all the suggestions, made the changes, itunes has priority and still... how do I fix this?
    Thanks
    Carla

    I am having the same problem. It just started a couple weeks ago - either when my iTunes updated or when my iPod did. And I have no idea how to fix it.
    Any suggestions? Anyone?
    Thanks.

  • Audio skipping and programs quitting unexpectedly, please help

    Hi all, I have a Power PC G5 running on OSX 10.3.9. I came into my room this morning to my fan running at an absurd speed and the computer was frozen. I restarted the computer, but the rest of the day, my audio has been skipping constantly (on itunes and also when played through Firefox) regardless of how many programs I have open. I have never had any issues with this before. I'm also having problems with programs freezing today and with programs quitting unexpectedly.
    What caused my fan to go nuts? The tower is sitting in a pretty dusty area, so it is possible that there is dust around the tower. I have no experience opening or cleaning a computer, so if that is what I should do, could you please instruct me on the best way to do that.
    I have about 40gb free with 110gb utilized on my Macintosh HD. The activity monitor shows that I only have 130mb Free of system memory (when I'm only running itunes, activity monitor, and firefox). The activity monitor also jumps from having abou 85% of the CPU idle when it is working fine down to below %40 percent when the audio is skipping. What is causing these jumps?
    Thank you for your help.

    Let's start with the basics.
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

    Hi, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.4 and now I can't get iTunes to run. Windows Vista just tells me that iTunes has stopped working - similar message to a load of people here - and leaves an error log that I accessed via the Control Panel. The fault module is different from other people's, but the outward symptoms are exactly the same: iTunes won't run. I tried 'downgrading' iTunes to an earlier version (thanks www.oldversion.com!) and it ran, but then stopped because (of course) my libraries are all in the newer format so it can't read them. Cheers Apple!
    I have tried removing and reinstalling both iTunes and Quicktime several times over, as well as shutting down (and finally deinstalling) IOBit Advanced System Care 4, but to no avail. Just prior to these problems we found that iTunes would run, but would not talk to the iPod - it kept saying that it needed to be reinstalled because part of the package that communicated with the mobile device was missing. (Obviously I tried that, but it failed to work.) I just mention this in case this additional symptom is relevant.
    Just in case b noir reads this (he/she seems to be a bit of whizz at discerning these problems!)  I have included the error log generated by Vista below;

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

  • Transfering and playing PURCHASED music- plz help!

    I have recently made the switch to purchasing music, but the problem is that i am unable to play them on my IPOD NANO- the songs seem to transfer okay, but when i go to play them they skip and it goes to the next song....
    the only way i have been able to play these songs on my ipod is to burn my purchased playlist to a CD then rip it each time i buy a song....this is very cumbersome and time consuming
    is there anything i can do short of calling and yelling at apple lol....???
