could you please check if there is activity in the scrubbing window ...
... when the music pauses ? does the diamond in the progress bar continue to move or does it stop ?
also, could you please tell us more about your setup ? do you keep your iTunes library locally or e.g. on an external HD ? if the latter, is the HD connected directly to your Mac or is it hanging off e.g. an airport base station ?
lastly, what's your exact version of iTunes ? go iTunes > about iTunes. is your version 9.1.1 (11) ?

  • Ipod Randomly Pausing Songs

    hi all,
    Just before i went on holiday i bought the isound 2.1 sound dock system, and also updated my ipod touch to 1.1.5 update
    Since then, my ipod randomly pauses songs, regardless of the screen being on / off, the lock feature being on / off, using the dock speakers, 3.5 jack speakers, or earphones
    im really hoping its down to a firmware issue but i have no idea.
    Any suggestions?

    The iPod will pause if you pull the earbud jack out - this is a feature. Unfortunately sometimes a set of earbuds will have a jack this is just a bit loose and this will fool the iPod into pausing. Try using a different pair of buds. If the problem continues with a different set of earbuds, give Apple a call.

  • ITunes Randomly Renaming Songs

    Ever since purchasing an Apple TV, my iTunes randomly renames a handful of songs by putting the track number in the song name. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to how it chooses which songs to alter... sometimes it will alter an album that I just listened to, or it will alter an album that hasn't been touched for months (eg. Christmas music).
    Any thoughts?

    iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Importing.
    Uncheck *Create filenames with track number*.

  • ITunes randomly pausing?

    Sometimes while iTunes is playing, it'll just randomly pause. I haven't pressed any buttons and I'm not even in the iTunes program window.

    I was using Vista32 and iT 7.5, since there were no drivers for iPhone for Vista64 and had no problems.
    After 7.6 came out, I made a clean installation of iTunes 7.6 and started having those random pauses. At first iT starts up and I cannot do anything for a while. Then it starts to work, but after a while it freezes again.
    I formatted my system and installed iT 7.6 right from the beginning before any other application. Same problem.
    Since 7.6 supports Vista64, and I have 4Gb installed, I decided to format with Vista64. Again, I installed iTunes without any other application installed.
    SAME PROBLEM!!!

  • How can i stop itunes randomly duplicating songs?

    Everytime i sync my iphone 4s on ios 7 with itunes, during the sync process it searches for downloads and randomly redownloads entire albums and syncs them to my phone. Usually it duplicates 200-300 songs, and thanks to the removal of the delete duplicates option in itunes i have to delete them one by one manually. Also sometimes both duplicates play and sometimes only one. Is there any way to resolve this? Any help greatly appreciated, im about ready to stomp it.

  • ITunes randomly deletes songs or whole albums

    I've been having this problem for quite some time now, maybe a year..I just thought I was misplacing the songs at first. However now I know for a fact that iTunes is randomly deleting entire albums. How can I stop this? I've thought about locking the folder, but then I probably wouldn't be able to update stuff as well.
    Its extremely annoying because some albums are burns of physical discs and some are ones that I bought online. The physical are OK because I can just grab the original disc, but the ones I bought online I have to repurchase them.
    Will taking off iTunes folder management work? Do I need to reinstall something?

    This is weird in that when you intentionally delete something by selecting it and hitting 'delete' you get the choice to 'Cancel' vs. 'Keep Files' vs. 'Move to Trash' with note in box that only files in the iTunes music folder can be moved to the trash - so it should not be possible for iTunes to completely trash anything.
    The only thing I can think of to check is to be certain in Preferences > Advanced both 'Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized' and 'Copy files to iTunes folder.." are checked (from your first post it looks like they are). If they are not, it is possible that you imported a song in another folder which was not copied into your iTunes folder, that is that you created a link to it but then accidently deleted the original. Of course, if you imported the physical CD using iTunes to rip it this wouldn't make sense. I would recommend making a backup of all music that you buy, but of course that doesn't answer the 'Why' question. -Bob

  • My itunes keeps pausing randomly + general MBP slowdown

    Since a couple of days ago my MBP Intel (2010) has been playing around. iTunes keeps pausing songs then resuming them after a couple of seconds. Also, everything (Chrome, etc) seems to be slower. I can't exactly remember when it started, it seemed to be after I updated something (though i can't remember what). I've already verified/repaired permissions on disc manager. Any ideas?

    I've been having the same problem for a few weeks now on my Intel iMac (late 2006 edition). In fact, my whole system is running ridiculously slow and keeps getting hung up (both in iTunes and pretty much every other function). I've upgraded to 2GB of RAM and I've run a disk utility repair, which has made some things run faster (finder and a few low profile programs like iCal), but my internet is still crazy slow (though fast on my iphone and my MacBook Pro), and all of my really useful programs (photo software, screenwriting software, internet on every platform I have, and iTunes) is still glacially slow.
    And of course, the cursed iTunes pausing. It's so ridiculous I can't even sync my iPod. It just stalls and gives the wheel of death. I can't listen to newly dowloaded music through my computer and I can't put it on my iPod.
    Ridiculous.

  • Itunes 8 randomly pausing

    When i am listening to music it will sometimes randomly pause the song i am listening to.
    Is there any reason for this???

    If you have iTunes related Widgets running, disable them and see if that helps.

  • My Ipod Classic 120GB crashes all the time while using it, there is an Apple that comes up and it restarts and sometimes a miscolored screen.  It randomly pauses and skips songs as well.Help?

    Not sure why it does this but it has been for the past few year and I'm finally getting tired of it.  Any way to solve this problem?  It randomly skips and pauses songs and if its doesn;t it last about 10 minutes or so and then freezes with an apple on the screen and also a miscolored apple on the screen.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Does the iPod get overheated after 10 minutes?
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont solve your problem, but help in troubleshooting.

  • ITunes 10 is randomly fogeting song locations

    Hello,
    Over time, iTunes randomly forgets where a song is. A song that played with no problem previously suddenly gets the excalamtion point and iTunes says it can't locate it. I manually locate it and it plays fine, but it's exactly where it's supposed to be according to my library xml file. I have itunes set to control and organize my music, why is this happening?
    Related: when iTunes asks if I want to locate other files (after locating a file manually) it is never able to do so.

    Hi
    The same thing is happening to my iTunes library on my PC running Windows XP. Are you a Mac or a PC? A month ago, I did some clean-up on my iTunes library and I know that I fixed the few dozen exclamation marks next to songs so that I got rid of all exclamation marks. Now, I notice that some exclamation marks have appeared but, oddly, they are next to other songs -- that is, not songs that had exclamation points before. I can't see a pattern to why these marks appeared. Did you resolve your issue?

  • ITunes 11 pause before song starts

  • TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Random pauses during songs.

    I've had my nano since november 2005, about a month ago while I was listening to it my ipod suddenly paused for no reason(I dont recall jerking on the headphone wire or jack at all).
    Ever since then the ipod keeps randomly pausing during songs, the odd thing is it doesn't only do it when I wiggle the headphone jack, it does it sometimes even when its sitting flat on my sofa without anything at all touching it and alot of slack in the headphone wire. Also the ipod does it even when the hold button is on as well so it isnt the play/pause button.
    I tried sending it to apple but under the reasons for replacing the nano there was no option for damaged headphone jacks so I chose "damaged dock port" since it is very close to the headphone jack, and I also wrote in the description that the headphone jack is broken. Apple sent back the same nano saying they couldn't find any problem with it so I'm out of ideas.
    Oh and yes I've tried resetting it and everything.

    hmm another question, when i try to open another service request to send my ipod in again, it says it cant because my ipod already has a service request open, even though ive already gotten my ipod back since last week when i sent it in...any idea how long it will take till i can send it in again?

  • After iTunes 11 install songs pause intermittently...

    All songs installed prior to upgrade/update work fine. Only those songs installed after update to iTunes 11 pause intermittently please help. I Know There  has to be a simple Solution. Please help! I'm on a Mac Mini 2011 running OS lion.

  • HT1349 iTunes randomly skips hlaf a song in the middle of playing them, how do I change this?

    While playing a song, iTunes randomly skips to the next song.This only happens with cirtian songs and I'm using a pc if that makes a difference. Is there a setting somewhere where I can turn this action off? This does not happen with my other computer.
    Can someone explain why this is happening and how I can it to stop doing that? Thanks

    Now, is it synced via wireless or USB?
    When I upgraded my 4 to iOS 7, I had that very problem. The phone said all my music was on it, but when I tapped on a song, it would show the icon as though it was playing and after a couple if seconds, it would skip to the next song.
    Here's what I did: Reconnect and do another sync. Or, back-up your phone, do a restore and then trying syncing your files again.
    I hope this helps
