Itunes keeps skipping, still not answered!!!

i asked this question a few days ago, but no one answered and im wondering why. now all i want to do is downgrade to an earlier version of itunes because i never had these problems with itunes 6. plus i was able to organize my library from 0-9,a-z. now its only a-z and the artist from 0-9 like 3 doors down, 50 cent, 2pac are all at the bottom with no choice of organizing it how i like it.

Are all of your files in AAC format? If you have any MP3's, add them to your library in Windows Media player and test them. Does each song skip in all of the same places, or is the skipping different each time you play the same song? If the skipping is inconsistent within the same, song, I'd suggest reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime:
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove these applications:
1. Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, either way, it's not needed so we can remove it)
4. iTunes
5. QuickTime
Restart the computer
Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
Restart the computer again
Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If the song skipping is consistent each time you play the same song, it could well be an issue with the files. Do you have a backup that you can restore files from? If you do, try that.

    my itune keeps saying i need the 64 bit, ive followed the instructions on redownloading itunes, but its still not working.

    Hello 19Brenda94
    Start with removing iTunes in the order of the first article states, which is iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). Once that is done, then download iTunes 64 bit version from the second link below and run that installer.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • ITunes keeps saying iPhone not eligible for the requested build

    iTunes keeps saying iPhone not eligible for the requested build after downloading the update directly through itunes with the lateset version of itunes.

    Here are some suggestions for your error message, copied from
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • ITunes v7.6 still NOT working w/Vista 64-bit

    I believe it's not working because AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi WON'T install.
    It gives me a "The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured." error.
    Is there ANY WAY around this at all?
    Also I've installed & uninstalled iTunes v7.6 multiple times now, rebooting between installs also but still no luck.
    I've also extracted the 6 installation files out of iTunesSetup.exe and I'm trying to get AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to install, but it just won't install.
    When I start the iTunesSetup.exe package and finish installation, iTunes Setup Assistant also gives me a warning that says "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
    And under Event Viewer I see this "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Apple Mobile Device Support. Product Version: 1.1.3.26. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603."
    Help please! I would really like for iTunes to work with my iPhone!

    Well at least up and til today, there never was a solution to activate or even synch Vista 64 bit OS, iTunes, and the iPhone - for anyone, anywhere - period. Not unless you used some VMware solution (which I've heard mixed results on).
    This new version of iTunes (7.6) did today for the first time, correct the ability to burn CDs from my collection of music in iTunes. Before this version it wasn't possible.
    My Mobile Device Support program did update and install correctly today along with the other apps that got updated. So now I wonder if it is truly possible to activate and synch with an iPhone?!? Anyone try this yet?
    Cyanide regarding your install, I had to go through something similar back in one of the earliest versions designed for Vista 64bit OS. The trick is not only uninstalling, but removing all references in the registries, left over file folders, etc. after uninstall. Then begin a clean install.
    BUT, it's entirely possible that the iPhone still is still not capable of syncing with Vista 64 bit.
    If you think you've had this ability before, than I'm 99.9% sure you only have Vista 32 bit OS.

  • 11.3.1.2 Itunes keeps opening itself, not connected to any devices!!!

    I installed Itunes 11.3.1.2 as a clean installation on my laptop last week. Running Windows 7.
    I have connected the Ipad Air ONCE only. Yet for the past 3 days itunes has randomly opened itself up, it's doing it when no one is home, when we're asleep etc.
    Nothing is running that should open it, no widgets, no media players NOTHING absolutely nothing!!!!
    I have searched the community and found a heap of ideas on what might be triggering it and tried everything on there that i can and nothing helps.........
    Please any ideas will be fantastic its driving me nutty!!!!!!!!!
    Zoe
    screenshots below of my itunes preferences:

    This basically reset my driver and now everything works fine with getting it to show up in itunes, however is still will not allow me to use my personal hotspot. Ive noticed when i turn on personal hotspot on my phone i see this:
    so obviously we are missing a driver or something that enables the personal hotspot to function correctly. I just can't seem to figure out where that is located.
    UPDATE***
    i went to the folder that was by the previous driver i updated
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\NetDrivers
    i selected netaapl64.inf
    and now Personal Hotspot works and it shows up in device manager like this:
    hopefully this helps whoever else is having this issue

  • Blank cdr not recognized (still not answered)

    i have a new intel imac 17" 1.83ghz. 2gb ram.
    all has been great with this baby, i've been burning both in itunes and finder. no problems at all! and then all of a sudden itunes doesn't show the cdr anymore.
    now i've tried changing it to "ask me", open finder and open itunes. when i open in finder, it's there in finder and on the desktop but still not in itunes. if i open with itunes, it will open itunes or flash the screen if it's already open and it won't show up in finder or the desktop.
    now i can go to a playlist and ctrl click and burn a cd that way. but didn't it used to show the blank cd in that pane? like if i wanted to burn an mp3 cd, couldn't have i in the past dragged in the songs to the cd and then burn it?
    i am fully updated on everything. this might be where it all changed. i recently installed the security update and since then, coincidentally or not, is when it happened.
    i have yet to see anyone really address this. what's the deal?!
    imac 1.83 intel 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)
    imac 1.83 intel 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Is it a problem that you can't see the blank cdr in iTunes? Because you can still burn cds from iTunes... i don't think iTunes usually has or had a blank cd showing up in the source area. In iTunes Help they say that to burn a cd you have to create a playlist and then click "Burn CD" in the upper right hand corner. Then it tells you to insert a blank disk. I haven't seen anything about dragging the songs to the cd... maybe that was something they had a few years back.

  • My itunes keeps saying song not found

    when i try to sync my music to my ipod shuffle from my itunes it says song not found

    Are you able to play that song in iTunes (on the computer)?  That usually means iTunes can no longer find the song's file, where it was previously stored.

  • ITunes keeps skipping songs on my iPhone and iPad

    This is a problem as many have reported. I have about 4500 songs on iMac that are combination of my own CD's and purchased music from iTunes. I have several dozen songs or more that are skipped on both my iPhone 5 and iPad air. I have been to two different genius bars to try to rectify this problem to no avail. For instance I have the CD Stage Fright by The Band. Even though on both my both my phone and iPad it shows the songs, song 1,2,3 and 5 won't play. I have tried everything. I have turned off iTunes match on my iMac. Turned off iMatch on my phone, deleted the music on the phone. I then turned iTunes match back on my iMac to refresh. Turned on iMatch on the phone. Now my entire library of songs are in the iCloud. I proceeded to download the Stage Fright album on the phone and once again the 4 songs will not play while the other 6 songs from the album will. This isn't a case where iTunes doesn't sell the album. They do and every song is available for purchase. Each one of the four songs plays perfectly on my iMac. I have never done an exact count of the songs that won't play on my iPhone or iMac. That would involve trying to listen to everyone of the 4500 songs. Another CD in particular is the Power and Glory from NFL Films, the music of Sam Spence.
    Some of the clips are spoken tracks and some are music. I would say about 5 or 6 tracks will not play but get skipped over.
    There is some glitch from the various updates of iTunes and iMatch over the last couple of years that have caused this. I could understand if tracks were somehow corrupted but they are not. It varies from artist to artist and album to album. Sometimes it is only one song on a particular CD.
    I am purchasing the iPhone 6 next week. If no one can come up with solution can someone tell me how do a hard sync of my music from iMac to my iPhone. When you do a hard sync to back up with phone with the cable to mac when you click on music it says your songs are in the iCloud. When I restore my new phone from back up how would one do the hard sync where each of the 4500 songs are uploaded to phone. I know this is a long process as this is what everyone did before iMatch.

    Since this has been posted I guess no one has a solution. The only other reply is someone else had the same problem. Apple doesn't care because they would prefer their solution which is to buy the tracks from them and not load your own CD's on iTunes. Somewhere in the cloud the tracks that don't play on my iPhone are sitting there. Makes absolutely no sense that the other uploaded tracks work fine. I guess I'm going to have to test all 4500 tracks to get the exact count and then go over the Apple store to see if they can submit this to a software engineer at the Apple campus to find an answer.

  • I have tried turning on my IPAD, holding it, have it plugged in to itunes and is still not turning on

    I have tried turning on my IPAD, holding it for 20 seconds, and still no response.  I currently have it plugged in to ITUNES through my desktop computer.  I still can not turn it on.  Any suggestions

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Itunes keeps skipping!!!

    This is really annoying. I have a video enabled ipod, and had to download the latest version of itunes to be able to put new music videos on it since getting my laptop.
    Anyway, since putting on this new version of itunes, songs sporadically skip. Every single one. It's like the thing takes coffee breaks.
    This did not happen before!
    Can anyone give me any advice to resolve this? Am I being stupid?

    Songs would stutter for 1st few seconds for me on just a few albums.
    Turning off Crossfade in Itunes' Preferences seems to fix this for me.
    Brought up task manager and noticed itunes sucking all CPU cycles while music stuttering. Just the 1st few seconds.
    Makes sense to me that if CPU has no more cycles left then sound quality would be impacted.
    Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps the cpu is having a hard time crossfading two mp3 tarcks with different VBR bit rates.
    I do hope you manage to fix your problem.
    Good luck.

  • Music on iTunes keeps skipping

    I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer & every since I downloaded it all of my music skips after playing for about 5 seconds (like when your CD has a scratch). The only exception is the new album that I just purchased off of iTunes last week, it will play no problem.

    My library started skipping today as well - very frustrating. First time since iTunes 1.0 has this ever happened. Any other ideas out there? Does not seem to matter is it's a personal CD rip or if it's a purchased download.
