ITunes keeps starting the song over again

I just got the new version of iTunes (7.0.1) and the songs work fine until I try and add the album art. As soon as I add the album art the song will play for the first 3-5 seconds and then start again about 1-5 times before it continues to play the song. This is really starting to get annoying, can anyone help?
  Windows XP  

My problem is that ITunes plays my songs but keeps on "pausing" "skipping" on tracks for a couple of secondsa then continues. I thought it was my PC but all the songs work on Windows media player. Any suggestions Ver 7.0.2.16?

    Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine).  Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message.  Only fix is resetting TC.
    The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine.  The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to.  Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
    Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time? 

    Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.
    I downloaded 5.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Download unpkg
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
    Google if you want more explicit instructions.
    Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
    Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
    But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense.

  • 10.5  keeps downloading same songs over and over. I just downloaded 10.5  Bought two songs. Now, whenever I open Itunes, it downloads the songs over and over.

    Three times each so far. I hope I am not being charged each time. What is going on?  Everytime I open it up, they download again and shop multiple times in my library. I sent them an e-mail. I better not get triple billed on each. This is a mess.

    I have this same problem...
    I have three PCs running WinXP Pro and iTunes 4.9, and on one of them, when I try to transfer songs to my iPod Shuffle it gets to about song #14 and restarts the transfer. It never finishes, and I can't seem to transfer more than 14 songs. Actually, I deleted the 14th and 15th songs from the transfer list, and it didn't help, so it's not corrupt data. It's either a transfer or time limitation, as it keeps happening around the same time each time. It's only on one computer, which isn't running anything notable that at least one of the other two isn't also running.
    I tried going into the hardware profile and not allowing the computer to turn off that USB hub to save power, but that didn't help. Maybe I have to reboot for that to take effect? I wouldn't think so, but I'll follow up tomorrow.
    I guess I'll have to use Winamp or some other third party solution. Too bad, up until now I really liked iTunes.
    Oh, the time/data limit may be affected by the fact that I'm downconverting the songs to 128kbps, although there is also a chance that that could also have something directly to do with the restarts.
    Ideas welcome!

  • Itunes keeps shuffling the songs out of order when i burn a CD

    I have no idea why this is happening. The shuffle is turned off. I just installed the new version with the same results. Thanks in advance for any help.

    It is a weird bug that shows up unpredictably.
    The following workaround sometimes help: start a new playlist and add the same songs to it. Make sure the little triangle is above the number column, and get the songs into the right order. Then do the burn from the new playlist.

  • Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

    I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
    Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
    Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
    Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
    This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
    Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
    Thanks in advance.

    Adriana,
    If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
    Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
    Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
    Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    More info, please.

  • HT204406 Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available but none of my playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac there looks to me no issues

    Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available  on my apple TV, and there is a tab for playlists. Yet the only playlists available are the Preset itunes generated 4: 90's music, Classical Music videos, and Recently Added. Yet even the recently Added playlist does not contain my most recelty added music purchased form iTunes and shows that is in the Cloud. None of my other playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac, there looks to be no issues relating to them and the cloud. Even tried making a new playlist. It made no difference. It would be nice to figure out how to have my music available on my TV without having to open up my computer everytime. Yes I know I can use my cell phone but, I'd like to put my photos to music and to set that up I need the Itunes Match playlists to WORK

    Hi I had exactly the same problem, I don't know if you setup your Apple TV before you subscribed to iTunes I match? If you did then I did the same and although all my songs showed up on my Apple TV none of my playlist did.
    This is how I fixed it I went into settings on the Apple TV menu and reset the device back to factory default, I then setup the unit again adding in my iTunes username and password etc, ticked the bix that says turn on I match and then went into music
    It took a few moments but it said updating once this finished I checked playlists and all my playlists as per my desktop PC were showing up!
    I hope this Helios resolve your problem too :)

  • ITunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    iTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist on my iphone (4 I thnk).  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand sideiTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

  • I keep getting " The song**** could not be used because the original file c

    Ok, I'll try not to get my problem too confusing or complicated. Had a virus and had pc repair store wipe and reload my operating system. They backed everything up and put it in a folder on my desktop. I reinstalled i-tunes. Opened i-tunes. checked my library. Everything is there but duplicated. I manually dumped all duplicates.(That was fun!) I try to play songs. I keep getting " The song** could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    I locate my i-tunes files in C drive, docs/settings, my docs, i-Tunes, i-Tunes music. I see an icon showing MPEG4 with a musical note and little "lock" symbol in the corner. I double click that icon and i-Tunes opens up and the songs starts playing. If I shut my pc down and restart it, go to i-tunes find that song and click it it always plays now. Okay that's one song fixed. Also if I find the icon in C drive again the little lock symbol is gone. Now down to the meat of my question; am I going to have to do this individually with all 2700 songs? Please tell me a faster way.
    Thank you

    If you know where all songs are located on the computer, I'd suggest just removing everything from iTunes and then adding it back in.
    Edit > Select All
    Edit > Delete
    *Choose the option to Remove from library
    *If prompted to move to recycle bin, choose Keep File
    Then click File > Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder on your hard drive that has your music in it. You can choose your iTunes Music folder, for example, and this will incorporate any subfolders you have stored in there.
    The lock icon suggests that the file is "protected," so most likely purchased from the iTunes store.

  • ITunes keeps starting automatically

    iTunes keeps starting automatically on my Macbook Air. When I quit iTunes it just restarts again within about 2 minutes. I have checked my Dashboard widgets and there is nothing there related to iTunes. It's unclear what has triggered this and it's VERY annoying. 
    How can I stop it doing this?

    Was having the same problem but seemed to have solved it. Did the following:
    1. Went into CDs and DVDs prefs and set when you insert a music CD and picture CD to ignore
    2. Went into iTunes -> prefs -> Devices and unchecked "Look for remote speakers connected with Airtunes" and "Look for iPhone and iPod touch Remotes"
    3. Installed Lingon (http://lingon.sourceforge.net/) and checked all my startup processes and Daemons. Found some old things like MySQL trying to launch (even though web sharing is off) and an old Maxtor one touch driver and disabled the processes or removed them.
    4. Checked the console log to be sure nothing else was running or creating an error that I didn't need anymore.
    I apologize that I can't say what solved it, but aside from the prefs in the apps, it may have been an old piece of software (like my old Maxtor drive) that was still trying to run that may have been triggering itunes.
    Good luck to all.

  • Itunes keeps skipping, still not answered again!!!!!

    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.

  • ITunes keeps starting up

    hello
    Since updating my iPad to iOS5 itunes keeps starting up and I close it and just randomly starts up again after a few minuets or so, how do I stop it.
    I know the iPad sync's wirelessly with iTunes but when I close it I expect it to stay closed, I actually feel like unistalling iTunes as its so irratating.

    I think it may be because your ipad/iphone is turned on, as now it sync's wirelessly.  So if it's (ipad/iphone) turned on it assumes you want to work with it.

  • ITunes keeps downloading the same TV shows more than once.

    I have limited download capacity, so when one TV show completes, I need the next one to download, etc. If I stop for the day and start downloading the next day, the TV show that is already downloaded, starts downloading all over again, eating up my Fair Access limits. Any way to prevent this? I have iTunes 9.1 and OSX 10.6.3.
    Thanks

    Contact iTMS customer support and ask the to delete that culprit from your download queue.
