ITunes pauses randomly after Leopard upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded too Leopard 2 days ago and iTunes has not been working correctly since.
iTunes randomly pauses songs (after about 30sec.), if I press play again it pauses again...
I have restarted iTunes and I have tried it with and without using Airtunes, but the problem stays.
Anyone having the same problem?
BTW I use You Control: Tunes, but the same here, I have stopt the engine and the problem stays...

Aparently I was too hasty with my conclusion:
iTunes still pauses 'randomly'. Although I think I found when it goes wrong. Everytime I play a song after a few seconds I can here the processor working harder, at this time iTunes or Leopard is changing the iTunes database files in the iTunes folder. When it is done 'updating' them iTunes pauses the song. I don't see how we can fix this one...

  • After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

    Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

  • IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

    iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
    I too am wondering what I can do???

  • IMac randomly shuts down after Leopard Upgrade

    My wife's iMac randomly shuts down since we installed Leopard. It wasn't doing this before the Leopard upgrade.
    It takes about 5 mins. of inactivity after the machine enters sleep mode, then it shuts down. We've searched the Discussions but have yet to see an answer to our question. Nothing but an iSight is plugged in to the machine. Any suggestions?

    Same problem with random shut downs that get more and more frequent making the computer unusable. Took to Apple Store where they did not recognise the problem - tried replacing RAM then power cable then power supply. Said problem was fixed but started to recur within a short time of using it back home. Used install discs to reinstall the original operating system (Mac OS X 10.5.2) and the problem resolved - on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.8 the problem immediately recurred. Have gone back to 10.5.2 now and all seems okay.
    Seems strange that there are so many postings about this and Apple Store (Genius staffseem to be unaware of it as a problem).

  • Recreating iTunes after Leopard Upgrade

    Just before I installed Leopard, my MacBook Pro flaked out. I couldn't clone my hard drive, so I copied my files one folder at a time to my external hard drive.
    I finally got Leopard installed. After setting up my computer, I opened up iTunes and a little window titled "iTunes Setup Assistant" opened. It gives me two choices, "Yes, use iTunes for Internet audio content" and "No, do not modify my Internet settings."
    I don't have a clue which to choose. If I choose YES, does that mean I have to use iTunes to control the volume even if I'm watching a video with RealPlayer or VLC? What do I need to know to make an intelligent choice?
    After I do make my choice, which folders and files do I have to copy from my external hard drive to recreate iTunes the way it was before my Leopard upgrade erased my hard drive? I copied a folder named Music, which contains a folder named iTunes, which contains folders named iTunes Music, Album Artwork and Previous iTunes Libraries, along with the files iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml.
    I'm guessing I could replace the entire "Music" folder with the original "Music" folder (the one containing all my music, music libraries, etc. To be on the safe side, I could simply rename the newer Music folder (e.g. MusicNEW) in case I have to revert to it for some reason. After doing that, iTunes should be back to normal if I restart it...or could I be causing some damage?
    Thanks.

    Well, my problem is half solved, at least. All of my songs have now been restored in the main "Music" library. I'll start a new thread for my next question. Thanks.

  • Importing old iTunes library after Leopard upgrade

    Hey,
    I just upgraded my Intel MacBook to Leopard, using an "Archive and Install" install, without retaining previous "User and Network settings". This was done because when I first did a standard upgrade, I was taken to a log in screen and could not log in. This is just so you can get background on the situation at hand.
    Now, I've successfully installed Leopard, but I can't import my entire previous iTunes Library. I can find the folders, with all the music in them, but I can't import the entire thing in one go. I could go through manually and click every sing song, but that would mean going through over 1,000 songs one by one. Not something I'm looking forward to.
    Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

    I was having the same problem after Leopard, went to pref/advanced/and selected the iTune library on my fire wire external drive, but would not load
    Did what you recommended with the option key, was prompted to select a new library, selected it, then got this
    Library locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission
    any thoughts?

  • Cannot save an MP3 file from a webpage after Leopard upgrade

    Hello,
    I am a graduate student and my instructor posts his lectures online as mp3 files. When I was using Tiger and Safari, I was able to right click the file and save it to my computer. Now, after I upgraded to Leopard, I right click and attempt to save and I get an error message of "no permissions to read file." If I click on the file, quicktime will play the mP3 in the safari browser but I want to save the file to my computer so I can listen to it through iTunes.
    I am able to currently work around this by using Firefox as it allows me to save the file with no problem but I want to use Safari.
    Any ideas?
    BTW - Safari is 3.0.4 (Leopard)
    Thanks!

    It won't work if you drag it, but you can copy it from the Activity window, and then paste it into the downloads window. But it may get stuck that way too. The only way I know of is to open the MP3 in Safari, let it load, and then click on File and save it. And I'm using the latest Safari.

  • IChat video no longer working after Leopard upgrade

    I always used to be able to video chat with everyone and then after my Leopard upgrade, no such luck... I looked through the user tips and here is what I have done.
    1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
    Yes, I have it set
    2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
    Nope
    3) Did you upgrade from Panther ?
    Nope
    4) How are you connected to the internet ?
    Airport Extreme. Do I need to do set anything? We use it in 802.11n and nothing else.
    5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ?
    Nope
    7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ?
    See Here and here
    8) List your Connection speed
    6.7Mbps
    Any ideas??
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
    With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
    If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
    If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

  • Problems after Leopard upgrade with ATI 9800 Pro 256MB

    I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
    The problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
    Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
    I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

    I've already reset PRAM with the option,command,P,R keys... letting it chime a couple times... and have already done this many times over the last few days. Doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to reset NVRAM via open firmware and the instructions are vague. But, supposedly a PRAM reset is all you have to do.
    If it is a heat problem, why would it only have presented itself directly after a Leopard upgrade? It also does it when I boot off the Leopard disk. Actually does it worse. I'd just get a new card if I wasn't suspicious about the Leopard upgrade... not convinced it's a hardware problem yet. Though the card is mounted on the bottom slot above the CPUs. It has a fan on top that appears to be working but it doesn't look like much clearance between the card and the top of the CPUs case.
    I could move it up a slot to give it more air... but it still doesn't explain why until last Monday, it worked fine under Tiger.

  • Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

    Hi everyone
    I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
    I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
    However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
    I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
    After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
    Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
    After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
    I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
    I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
    I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
    I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
    I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

    My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
    I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
    Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
    Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
    Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
    I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

  • HELP!!! iTunes not playing after lastest upgrade

    My iTunes is not playing after lastest upgrade, and i onli hear a lo buzzing sound wiht i hit the play button, and the diamond thingy is still moving. I tried reinstalling and re importing the music files, but i juz wouldn't work. help

    Nope i did not have any success with the other possibilities, other then the one concerning the hardware.
    hmmm. okay, if you switched sound enhancer off, that probably would have covered that possibility anyway.
    we'd better check your video drivers as well as your sound card drivers. (old video drivers can cause problems with Quicktime that can show up as itunes audio problems, since QT provides audio playback for itunes.)

  • IPhoto trouble after Leopard upgrade

    Just upgraded to Leopard and iPhoto would not launch after the upgrade.
    Tried to reinstall iPhoto by upgrading to iLife 08 and installation was successful, but when I launch I get a message saying I need to upgrade my photo library and I click OK.
    Then I get this message "Photo library is damaged and cannot be upgraded." Then am required to "Quit."
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    John

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

  • Photoshop 7.0 not opening after Leopard upgrade

    Several months back I upgraded to Leopard and had that login & keychain update error which is now fixed. However for some reason after the upgrade I am unable to open my Photoshop 7.0. Has anyone else had problems opening existing programs before the upgrade? And if so, how did you fix it? Or should I just try to re-install the Photoshop from the CD?
    Thanks, Christie

    Which upgrade caused this to happen? There have been quite a few since 10.5.1.
    I would also check with Adobe for any updates.

  • ITunes Not Working After Windows Upgrade from Vista to 7

    I recently upgraded a laptop from Vista to 7.  iTunes 7.x was installed before the upgrade.  As soon as Windows 7 was insatlled I upgraded to the lates version of iTunes(10.x).  After the upgrade I had some issue where I was getting an error about artwork and iTunes would not open.  I renamed the artwork folder to old and then I was able to get into iTunes.  The next problem that I am running in to is that any time I click on a task such as find music iTunes stops responding and crashes.  I've tried new config files, completely uninstalling and reinstalling, clean booting, etc. with no luck.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    I've been working on this issue for 2 days with no luck.  Still looking for a solution if anyone has one.  Thanks!

  • Odd Problems After Leopard Upgrade

    I upgraded to Leopard a couple of weeks ago. All seemed fine until I began to notice a few odd things.....
    1. Disk Permissions - If I select 'Verify/Repair Permissions' the disk utility began with the blue hatched bar and just stayed like that. I upgraded to 10.5.1 and now it progresses to the solid blue progress bar and says 'one minute remaining' but it makes no further progress. Same happens if I select 'Verify Disk'
    2. No volume icon in the menu bar. It was there after the upgrade to 10.5 but yesterday I pressed the 'mute' button and the volume icon disappeared - it's been missing ever since and now I'v no volume.
    3. MS Office 2002. I can see MS Office files - I can even preview them, but if I attempt to open them nothing happens. If I attempt to open the relevant MS app the icon just bounces once in the dock and then nothing.
    It's worth noting that there are two users on my PB (both have admin status) but problem 3 only occurs in my user profile.
    The other user is my wife and she's not the sort to mess with the computer - she just uses it.
    can anyone shed any light on this as I'm seriously (and reluctantly) considering downgrading to Tiger.
    Thanks in advance,
    Seán.

    Yo dude!
    I think it's time to boot from the start-up dvd, run disk utility repair (always before an upgrade!), re-install (keep previous install just in case), restart, run all updates. Maybe if you have old software, it's time to un-install them and re-stall one by one until something untoward happens. I've been using Leopard on three macs without hitches.. I find it very stable. Current version is 10.5.2, quite soon since last update, so they're (apple) obviously fixing a few things. The only problem I had after upgrading to Leopard was some apps wouldn't hide (command-H) even from the menu, but sorted that by re-installing them after the leopard upgrade,.... hunky dory now.
    Don't panic, there is always something silly causing bad **** to happen, 95% of the time it's software..
    See you on Wednesday dude...... I'll bring up those disks I borrowed from you.....
