Itunes skip through songs when playing or importing CDs

I have been using itunes for a while without problems. I recently upgraded to v7.1. When I now try to play or import CDs, the program quickly skips through the songs, but does not actually play or import anything. If I try to play the CD through another program, it works just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I agree with Dave - reinstall or update your drivers. If you need some directions on that, start here

  • IPhone/iTunes skipping through songs quickly

    The iTunes app on my iPhone 5 is having serious issues playing a specific artist. When I pull them up to play, select songs individually or shuffle, it skips through them very quickly (40 something songs in about 6 seconds) and doesn't play any of them. It happens to be only this one particular group I am trying to listen to.
    Any one else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Everything is on iCloud and can't figure out how to try and replace the songs.

    Having the same problem!

  • Why is iTunes skipping through songs during computer playback?

    Over the past couple months, after adding new files to iTunes, when I'm listening to them on my computer, it will sometimes arbitrarily skip the next song. Each song skips at a different place, but it's always the same places every time I replay the tracks. When I listen to them in Windows Media Player, they play all the way through. I know it's not an issue of file corruption. What can I do about this?

    Hi LD,
    Take a look at the article below and try playing the tracks in Safe Mode. If you no longer hear the playback issue, you may be able to resolve the issue by removing outdated 3rd-party plug-ins as suggested below.
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
    There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer
    Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface
    Slow performance
    iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly
    You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    If you see the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
    OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
    Windows: Hold down Shift-Control while opening iTunes.
    You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
    Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
    Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
    Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/

  • ITunes skipping through songs

    I have had my ipad 2 for quiet sometime and never had any faults with it.  Recently I decided to buy an imac, when syncing the 2 together it forced my ipad 2 to crash.  I successfully repaired it and have continued to use as normal. However the music app, linked to iTunes is no longer working correctly.  Every time I click on the button, my music library opens but when I press play along the top it scrolls through all the songs at lightening speed and will not play them.  I have shuffling them, choosing an artist etc but still no music. Can anyone help as I am getting so frustrated. Thanks in advance

  • ITunes skips a song. It tells me, "This computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it?" So I enter my password. Then it tells me, "This computer is already authorized." But when I try to play it, it's still "not authorized".

    I tried that with one song and it charged me for it.  I've got hundreds of songs my new iMac won't play! Help!
    If you purchased the song from the iTunes Store go to your purchase history and re-download it from there. You will not be charged again.

  • Lockup when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1

    Have anyone experienced a lockup in Windows when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1? Not sure if this is a problem of the new version or something I need to diagnose with my PC. I know alot you guys probably have MACs so I would appreciate any feedback you might be able to lend. Thanks in advance!!!

    UPDATE: When all else fails reinstall everything! (without offending PC users, this is an accepted practice around here for pc software issues.....sorry). Anyway, trashing the old Spin DR and Toast Titanium and reinstalling seemed to get me going again. Sorry to bother everyone.

  • ITunes Radio Automatically Skips through Songs

    When listening to iTunes Radio through my AppleTV 3, iPhone 6, iPad 3, and iMac 2013 iTunes Radio will just start skipping through songs. The current song plays through to the end, but then starts scanning through 20-30+ songs before playing the same song that just played. This happens on every station I have created, and also on the suggested featured stations.
    This just started yesterday after updating to iOS 8.2. I logged out of iTunes on all devices and signed back in, but the problem persisted. I also rebooted all devices with still no luck. My Husband is also having the same issue on his iPhone 5 and iPad 3 under a different iTunes account.
    I happened to be out of Wifi range on my iPhone and tried iTunes Radio and surprisingly the skipping stopped. The minute I got back into Wifi range the skipping would start up again after the current song ends. So it seems like it has something to do with my Wifi which are run off of an AirPort Time Capsule and Extreme (all up to date). I rebooted my modem and AirPort’s thinking there was some weird config issue, but the skipping was still happening. I have not changed anything with my internet provider and have more than enough bandwidth.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot?

    Hmmm, Cox must be blocking something. I'll try to call them when I get home, but I don't have high hopes dealing with them.
    I also found another thread talking about the same issue.
    "I already contacted apple about this and the persons that helped me told me they took the matter up to the engineering department.  So now I'm just waiting on a reply back.  Hopefully, they can get this fixed up."

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

  • CD skips or sticks when playing in iTunes

    Does anyone know a solution to this problem. When using iTunes to play a CD sometimes a song will stick, skip a few seconds, or stop playing and iTunes will stop. When playing the same disc and song with Windows Media Player on the same machine it will play the entire song with no problems. How can this be fixed?

  • My itunes loses the sound when playing through TV/receiver

    My itunes loses the sound when playing through TV/receiver.  It is my 2nd Apple TV,  I have a Mac and PC and I have used 2 different receivers.  Any help?  If I start the music through Apple TV is doesnt skip but then I cant have it playing through computer at the same time.  It amazes me how these littles things arent fixed yet.

    I have almost the exact same problem, except that mine is without the iTouch. My itunes is working perfectly - uploading music from CD's, searching for music, syncing with my iPod classic. However when i ask it to play any music it will say that it is playing yet not only will no sound come out but the timer bar will not move either. it is the same with music in the itunes store and happens regardless of what else is happening on my laptop.
    i know my sound works fine with all other programs, and i read on another forum that 'repairing' itunes through the control panel fixes it, however this is not the case.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • E52 jump songs when play some AAC files downloaded...

    Hi, Nokia fans. I recently updated my firmware to 034.001. MY E52 jumps songs when play some AAC files downloaded from iTunes store. It doesn`t occur until I updated to the newest firmware. Any idea how to fix this?
    Regards for Chan

    Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...

  • Crunching noise and skipping through songs rapidly

    My Mini started by making this crunching noise from the drive spinning and then the display showed it skipping through songs rapidly. I reset it twice and now when I turn it on it says "go to www.apple.com/support/ipod. I have looked everywhere on this site and can not find anything that addresses this issue. Was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so did you send it in and what was the repair cost?

    You've got a one year warranty from Apple. You don't mention how long you've had it . . . but if it's within the year, you shouldn't be charged. If there's any charge, it will be just for shipping.
    The 'crunching' noise coming from the drive spinning is a BAD sign, and I feel certain your iPod needs Apple's assistance.
    I think the address it's sending you to is so you can get a return slip to send it back.
    Good luck!
