Itunes popping and skipping

Recently I added wave files of music my friend created to my itunes. Ever since I did this, those songs play correctly, but every other song in my itunes have popping noises and skipping sounds. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot!!

hiya!
first let's check through the possibilities in this document. if you've got an itunes 5.0.x or 6.0.x, you'll need to check your QT 7 sound out settings.

Stuttering, Popping and Skipping my life away with iTunes 7

I know we have hashed this problem out in several threads...but Apple needs to listen and fix something!
Since installing iTunes 7 on my machine (Athlon FX-55 with 1 GB of RAM and SB Audigy II) I have had nothing but problems playing music in iTunes!
I have tried chaning settins in Quicktime (Sound).
I have tried checking for plugins (I have none)
I have tried changing the hardware acceleration.
I have tried changing the volume in Windows settins and in iTunes.
Nothing works. It seems that as soon as I engage any other program the song that is playing starts to play garbled, skipping etc.
HELP HELP HELP!

Same...i cant run any other sound producing program without my iTunes garbling and/or skipping the music...
This was not a problem in previous additions.

Itunes 7 and skipping?

I have iTunes 7.1.1.5 and when I play cds the sound cracks or sounds like it is skipping. If I import the songs, everything is fine. If I play the CD with another program (windows Media Player, etc.) everything is fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, removed plugins, enable Maximum Audio Hardware Acceleration and done just about every other suggestion I have come across. I did try to reinstall an earlier version of iTunes but then it said that my music library couldn't be used because it is connected to a later version of iTunes. Is this a problem with itunes 7? Can I install an earlier version? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

You're correct about the problem...CD playback is the problem-imported tracks are fine.

Itunes distortion and skipping

Hi,
I have used itunes for several years now and have about 10k tracks on the HTPC. last week i discovered 80%+ of all my tracks were skipping and really distorted. I was running version 7. i upgraded to version 8 with no luck. i also downgraded to version 6 and deleted all my itunes library information this still has not helped. i have used an advanced uninstaller to remove all Itunes and quick time components and this still is not helping. All the tracks run perfectly in WMP and Real player and this is driving me insane. anyone got a a fix for this ?
PS I have 2.5 gig of ram and an athlon 64bit processor which is more than adequate for itunes.

Here's some help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1362
Some PC's may encounter problems if 'Sound Enhancer' is enabled. A few users have also encountered problems with their sound if they have the Equalizer ON.
"Some PC audio hardware has audio-enhancing effects that can conflict with iTunes' Sound Enhancer feature. To resolve these conflicts, do one of the following:
Turn off the effects for your PC's audio hardware using the configuration software that came with your hardware.
Disable the Sound Enhancer feature in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Click Edit > Preferences
Click the Playback tab.
Deselect Sound Enhancer."

Itunes studdering and Skipping

I just purchased a macbook pro with leopard. I work as a DJ and use my computer to play all my music. I plug a mix board into into my computer through the head phone jack to play the music. Itunes skips and studders on various songs in different places. I know this is not a problem with the songs themselves because it does not happen in the same place eveytime. Also I haven't been able to get the songs to skip while listening at home. When the songs starts to studder my arrow and comp just kind of freezes up for a minute and I can't do anything. Almost like it is busy reading something but I have nothing else on, not even my airport. My previous computer was a powerbook G4 and I never had this problem.
Is there a known problem with macbook pro or leopard that could be making my itunes do this? Does anyone have a possible solution? Please help my work is greatly suffering from this!!!

i too have had this problem - twice in the past two days. with just itunes/safari/adium/mail and activity monitor running. the first time, i got up quickly with my macbook pro took two steps and itunes started skipping the last halfsecond on loop and the mouse froze. i rebooted and repaired permissions.
just now i woke up for work and my router had crapped out. i couldn't access it through safari so i went to do a manual restart, and the moment i unplugged it, itunes started skipping and the mouse froze.
both times i didn't wait to see if it would even out, i just restarted and repaired permissions, but i've had this computer for half a year with no problems like this and now within the past week and a half two weeks i've had one kernel panic and now two of these

Popping, Cracking & Skipping on Harry Potter Audio CDs

Hey All!
I have heard this/my problem with files that weren't mine in the past, but now that it's happened to me, I need to find out what's going on.
I purchased the new/last Harry Potter book on CD. When I rip it, I find that the last 2 or 3 audio tracks/files contain popping, cracking or skipping in them, some very bad and hard to understand. I thought it was the CDs at first and took them back to the store for an exchange.
Once I had them home, it did it again. So on the tracks that I got popping on, I first went back to check the CD itself, some tracks sound perfect, so I would re-rip that individual file. Sometimes it'd work and other times it doesn't. Most times you can hear it on the CD and the MP3 file it made, other times you can only hear it on the CD.
Either way, I don't believe it's the CD. If I put the CD in our stereo, you don't hear any popping at all. Being it's always the last 2 or 3 files on each CD, I am thinking it's iTunes creating the issue. Maybe I need to try ripping it with another software to see, but the other programs I found were older OSX versions that either don't exist anymore or aren't supported (and they rip very very slowly).
Any thoughts or ideas from anyone...any suggestions what to try to use or any settings I should change?
Thanks,
Mike

Michael--I'm certainly no expert, but finding no answers to my problem which is almost exactly as you described, I tried this and so far so good. It may not be the best fix but it works for now.
All I did was to re-import the problem tracks as MP3 files and the popping and skipping were resolved.
I'd like to determine the cause of the problem and the best fix but with this, at least my immediate frustration has been relieved.
Best of luck!

ITunes match and iTunes radio skips songs on wifi

iTunes match and iTunes radio have been skipping songs while on wifi. We have a Linksys EA6350 setup in WPA2 personal for both the 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz networks. Both are setup as mixed 802.11n/ac with both on a channel width of AUTO. We are using two Apple TV's, iPhone 5s and a iPad 2. One of the apple TV's is setup as a different iTunes account than the others. It skips songs on all devices and accounts, however when I turn the wifi off on my iPhone both iTunes match and iTunes radio work flawlessly. What should I do?

+1 same issue here.
Not sure exactly when it started, but seems like it was sometime on or after 3/7.
It appears to affect every device I have on the home network (iMac, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone, iPad). Most devices are wifi, but I can confirm the issue also occurs on my iMac which is connected via ethernet. I'm able to get both iTunes match streaming and iTunes Radio streaming to the iPhone and iPad if I disable wifi and use LTE.
On my iOS devices, it just looks like it's skipping songs repeatedly...every now and then it might play one song, but it skips 30-50 before that happens. A few times it just kept skipping until the device rebooted itself. On my OS X devices, I don't get any of the skipping, it just looks like it's trying to load the radio station (i get the blue progress bar at 100% but nothing ever happens).
For what it's worth, I'm using an Apple Time Capsule for as my DHCP for ethernet and wifi. My internet provider is Cox Communications.

ITunes 10.5 Stops Playing Some songs mid-song and skips to the next

I migrated a friend’s iTunes library from a Win Vistamachine to Windows 7 Home Premium. Not sure what version of iTunes he had onthe Vista setup, but it’s 10.5.1 on the new machine. In the process, I backedup the sizable (6,000+ songs) iTunes library to an external hard drive, andrestored it to the new Win7 machine.
Now about 10% of his songs will start playing and at randomtimes, will skip to the next song without completing.
I found a fix, but it’s pretty tedious – there’s got to be abetter way to fix this. Here are thesteps when a song stops playing and jumps to the next:
Locate     the song in Windows.
Copy     it to the desktop (or another safe spot)
Delete     the song from iTunes, selecting the option to remove it from the hard     drive.
Cut     the song from the desktop and paste it back in the folder where it came     from
In     iTunes: File>Add Folder to     Library… Navigate to the folder and add it.
Once the song is added back to the library, it plays justfine.
This solution works for identified files. However, with6,000+ songs in a library and no way to determine which files are affected on amacro level, this really is not a solution.
There is no noticeable pattern. This seems to happen toabout 10% of the files in the library. One particular song (Foo Fighters: The Pretender) was duplicated on the harddrive and in the iTunes library. BOTHversions of the song stop playing with 0:21 remaining and skip to the nextsong. However, another song in thelibrary stops playing at 1:01.
Some of the troubled files are .m4p, some are .mp3. Thefiles themselves are not corrupted. Itested several in QuickTime and they played to the end. Additionally, as shownabove, when they are deleted from the library and restored they play just fine.
I have deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist as suggested inother articles, but this did not help.
Any help is appreciated.

Try working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch or corrupted data.

Do this happen with tracks at random or only a certain subset of tracks?

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying that the ipad can not sync because there is not enough memory on the itunes library. Do I need to increase the itunes library memory and how do I do this, or do I just need to trasnfer things out of itunes? Thanks.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I plug my ipod into my computer itunes pops up with error message "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" suggests I unplug and try again or uninstall itunes and reinstall nothing works. What should i do?

summarizing:
iPod nano (what version iOS BEFORE update?)
downloaded music
updated iPod to iOS 8.1.2
Windows 7 PC
plug-in iPod to PC
error message from iTunes on the PC "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" ⬅[quoted from your original post] (+ suggested troubleshooting steps)
un-plug > re-plug iPod (how many times?)
iTunes un-installed from PC (?)
iTunes RE-installed to PC (?)
error message repeats(?)
searched "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:support.apple.com with ZERO results - pretty strange that the support site wouldn;t know an iTunes generated error message (?) EDIT - had an "aha! moment when using a fresh Google search page and 'suggested' CANNOT
then "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:discussions.apple.com had ONE result = Can't connect to iTunes with ipod touch (-50 error) - NO REPLIES
CANNOT instead of can't [ tsk tsk ]
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
follow all the instructions in order and let us know
