ITunes skipping from 2:20 to end of track for every file.

Whenever I play a track, iTunes plays uo until 2:20 into the peice, and then skips to the end of the track, immediately going into the next track.
How can this be stopped?

OK. I have done a complete 'restore' (3 hours work) without it fixing the problem. The same 'newer' tracks still refuse to play beyond 1 to 2 minutes. All older 'older' tracks play ok. So, now I've done all of the 4 'R's'... Does a 'Restore' reformat the drive or does it just delete?
The odd thing is the way the faulty tracks stop. They don't just halt where they are. They don't jump to the next track. They jump to 1 second from the current track's end and stop there. The iPod still indicates it is playing. If you pause and try to navigate to another album or artist, the navigation is very slow. Once you select another item to play, the response returns to normal.
I have copied some of the failing tracks to another iPod (a mini) from my laptop PC and the tracks played OK on that unit.
I have also re-cut the same tracks using the same process on a different computer and downloaded them to my iPod and they play OK.
This is becoming more and more confusing.
The whole reason for using LAME as the encoder is that it is markedly better quality at the same rates than the iTunes version. Also re-encoding music is a bad thing to do if you want to maintain quality.
This latest iPod update and iTunes update is by far the worst Apple have ever released.
Thanks

HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

Below is from using a SIP build. It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:116 mode=20
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call. It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET! YAY!
m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues. The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722. It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it. It's fantastic.. The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings. Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS! It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost.. I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only. I'm a little leery about that at this point. If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
Sreekanth
Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build.. That was about the only thing I didn't try. I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
Can anyone please help me?
I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
Thanks in advance.

Hello Geordie81,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

ITunes skips from one radio station to the next one

I listen to radio stations via iTunes while I work. After an hour or so, the station skips to the next one in the list. What's going on?

Hi Tom,
Here are two alternative solutions:
Alternative 1:
If you copy the expense report before you book the services (flight, hotel …)
in GetThere, then the airline or hotel bookings will not start a new expense
report but will be assigned to the copied expense report.
Alternative 2:
This alternative is a bit laborious.
Shift the start date and end date of the expense
report that was automatically created by
your flight booking for next week (e.g. Calendar Week (CW) 47) to the week after next week (e.g. CW 48).
Copy the expense report of the previous week (e.g.
46)
Afterwards open the expense report that you
moved to CW 48 and click on the tab strip itinerary
Now assign the bookings (flight, hotel …) to the
expense report of CW 47 by clicking on the button assign to existing trip
Later delete the expense report in CW 48
Get back to me if you have any questions concerning the alternatives outlined
above.
Note:
These solution alternatives are only available for customes using HTML5 UIs.

How can I move my itunes library from pc onto an external hard drive for use on a mac

I have a large itunes library on my PC (roughly 200gb) and I want to transfer this to an external hard drive to then use on my new mac. I have tried this before using software which converts from NFTS to mac, but this didn't work properly (songs kept disappearing), so I also want the external hard drive to be mac formatted. Any suggestions? It seems much harder to do this than I expected.

Yes you can go to > Music > iTunes folder and copy the whole iTunes folder and drag the folder to your external and then on the new Mac click and highlight the iTunes folder and then in iTunes click on the button at the top (add folder to library) and you should see all your songs transfer from the external to the Mac and all songs start filling up in your iTunes library on the Mac.
This is the easiest method all songs and other media such as songs, movies, apps will be transferred over however you may not be able to keep ratings & last played counts using this method.
To keep all metadata including ratings & play count use the Apple method exclusively for this if you have to have your metadata, play counts and ratings saved.
I used scenario one above because it one of the simplest methods and I was just satisfied enough just to transfer all media over.

Transferring iTunes content from old to new laptop - missing tracks?

My laptop of six years (a Dell Studio) stopped working recently. I took it to a repair shop which transferred all my data - including documents and music - onto an external hard drive.
I then dragged the iTunes content on to my new laptop (a Toshiba Satellite Pro). However, when I open iTunes, it says I only have 12,609 songs (I've been collecting music for over 10 years).
On my iPod, which is still synced with the iTunes on my old (now broken) Dell Studio, it has 13,251 tracks.
Does anyone know a way of finding out which 642 tracks have gone AWOL (and also seeing if I can add them to the new library?)

Choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu in iTunes after adding each batch to the iTunes library but before unplugging the flash drive or deleting anything from it.

Flash Pro CS6 BUG - inconsistent end of line for xml files in library saved in xfl - MESSES UP SVN

When saving in XFL with Flash CS6 on Mac (it also happened in CS5.5), the generated xml files in library often have inconsistend end of line, which blocks SVN commits and I have to manually go in the files and make them consistent.
The XML nodes themselves all have \r\l as end of line, while, within <[CDATA[]]>, they only have \r.
We think this happens only when creating new library items on mac, on windows it doesn't happen.
This slows us down incredibly when working on a team using svn.
SVN doesn't upload files with inconsistend line ending.
Line ending shoul be consistent within the same xml file to make svn operations smooth.
Check an image of the bug:
http://www.pippoflash.com/_test/flash_bug_eof.png
you can see clearly the differences.
thank you
Filippo

Thanks Filippo, I could see that now!
While I was investigating this, I found that this is even happening on a file created and saved on just Windows. I was able to reproduce this using the following steps
- Create a new AS3 file on Windows
- Drag out a component to the stage say a Button component from the User Interface section of the Components panel
- Convert the button component to a Movie Clip Symbol
- Save the file as XFL and examine the Library XML files (the End of Line is just 'LF' in CDATA section whereas it is 'CR LF' everywhere else)
Since you were saying 'Items created in windows have no problem', does that means, SVN can commit those without any issues for you? And do you face problem only when the file is Created and Saved on Mac(where the end of line is just LF every where) but Modified and Re-saved on Windows(where the end of line is inconsistent)?
Thanks!

How do I get an audible alert for email from specific senders without getting the alert for every incoming email?

I Need to have emails from my family members to have an audible alert when I am traveling. It seems that every email coming in is doing this. I know there is a Do Not Disturb function but it does not seem to apply to emails.

You can't set a different notification sound for each family member but If you designate the people that you want notifications from as VIP, I think it might be possible to get notifications from family members only.
Launch mail and tap the blue "I" in the VIP section. Tap "Add VIP" in order to add the family members to the VIP list that you want to include. Then tap "VIP Alert" to automatically go to the notifications area of the settings app. Set you preferences in there for the family members. Then go to Settings>Notitication Center and turn off the audible notifications for all other mail.
The setting states that whatever you set for VIP alerts will override the other mail alerts, so I am taking that to mean that what I am suggesting is possible to do.

Got sources from git/svn/cvs/wtf? md5sum for all files...

Your package gets sources from git/svn/cvs/wtf?
I used this little trick to check the md5sum of all files and ensure a little more the package users
will download exactly what you downloaded when you created the package:
echo "7ce3eabab979cd067b096e83280239ed -" >"$srcdir"/md5sources
find . -type f -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 cat | md5sum --status -c "$srcdir"/md5sources || return 1
The md5 is calculated using the same command without -c before the whole building process just after downloading the sources.
I thought someone can find it useful or give a comment.

Shouldn't this go to AUR-related? Users of official repo packages should never have to access any of the git/svn/cvs sources anyway.

First time itunes download from pc to ipad

How do I download my itunes library from my pc to my new Ipad for the first time?

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which is Music - select that tab and you can then chose which of your iTunes library to sync to the iPad's Music app. If you've already bought/downloaded any content directly on the iPad then do File > Trasnfer Purchases first so that they get copied over to your computer's iTunes
