ITunes skipping tracks in the middle

I have a bunch of new tracks that I've added to iTunes, and I would say 25% of the time, iTunes will play 30 seconds of the song and then just skip to the next track for no reason and without registering a play count. All of the start and end times are right for the tracks, its just randomly skipping them. Also, if it skips a track, and I play it again, it will skip to the next song again at the exact same point. So far there is nothing I can do to stop these particular tracks from skipping. Needless to say its extremely annoying. Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone know a way to make it stop?
Thanks

In iTunes, select all the songs.
Right click, get info.
Click the Options tab and set *Remember playback position* to No.

IPod Randomly skips tracks in the middle of play

As the topic says, I have a 30GB ipod and it sometimes skip to the next song on my playlist after the first 10 seconds of the song. The song differs every time and if I were to go back to the skipped song, it'll play through fine. Then after a while it'll do it again with another song exibiting the same symptoms. This happens randomly. So I've concluded that it's not the songs that are causing the problems. (All tracks are in MP3 format)
I don't know if it's broken or something wrong with the iPod's firmware and if I can get it fixed without too much hassle.
Any help will be appreciated

IPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second!

My iPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second. The only thing that stops it is if you press pause but once you press play off it goes again. This means noi music is able to be played because it's always skipping. The menu button works as does the backlight if you hold the menu button down. The enter button works and the touch pad navigation also works. Both skip buttons have no effect on the unstoppable skipping. Can anybody help or at least verify the problem with other users of simular problems and if they were able to fix them simply, without having to go to an Apple dealer (it's out of warrenty i think)Any help would be appreciated.

(Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

For this you need to look at chase functions. Project settings>Midi>Chase button

Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express?

Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express? So have the first 40 bars in C minor and the last 16 in D major for example?
Thanks

Hi,
the question is what you want to achieve by doing so. Obviously, transposing is easy. Split the track into two regions. The first region is original pitch, the second is to be transposed. Select the second region. Enter the desired transposition value in the region inspector. Make sure the checkbox "no transpose" is UNchecked in the track inspector.
HOWEVER: You cannot "transpose" minor key into major key. This is because the intervals of full steps / half steps is different for minor and major. The 3rd and the 6th step is a half step in minor, while it is a full step in major. Therefor you must adjust the MIDI events in the piano roll editor to change minor to major and vice versa.

My itunes screen froze in the middle of syncing my iPhone 4. How do I stop it?

If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

There is a delay in skipping tracks in the music app. Is this normal for the 5s? It didn't happen with 4s! It's so annoying!

Hi ...
i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
However, you can create your own installation disc > How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

What can I do?

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Itunes skipping tracks, Apple ID/password combo suspected

Installed Itunes Match yesterday as it seemed a good way to have my tracks available everywhere. My library consists of a mix of ripped CD's and tracks bought via the ITunes Store (2007-present), all very legal. The music itself is in a library on a Mac Mini server. Via home sharing that works fine as long as i'm in range of my Wifi/Ethernet. So no problems at all on my IMac, Apple TV or any IOS device.
After the installation of Match it run through my library and found around 5600 tracks, after a while all these tracks where either matched or uploaded. only a few showed errors, mostyly explainable (max size). So far so good, ready to listen!
But when i turn on Match on any of my devices (IOS, IMac, Apple TV) i guess around 99% of my tracks get skipped, ATV showing the message "material not found". Now it seems i have the most succes with the most recent bought tracks, but even that is not entirely true for all tracks. If I show all tracks on an IPhone I can see there are as many tracks as Match tells me it matched. They show up in the list with a small ICloud symbol beside them, but they get skipped when played and can not be downloaded.
Now i suspect a password issue: i had to change my PW earlier this year (around january) and at some time I logged in on 2 separate Apple ID's.
Now it seems (but hard to prove...) that:
All music I bought on my present Apple ID/password combination is playing well,
all music I recently bought on the other Apple ID is not playing,
all music I bought on my former Apple ID/password combination (pre-january) is not playing,
all music I ripped on my former Apple ID/password combination is not playing.
So a conclusion: only music imported (either bought or ripped) on the same Apple ID (with password) you use with your Itunes Match can be played. I will test this by buying and ripping some tracks under my present ID/password. I expect them to work well.
Can anyone come tot the same conclusion?
Are there solutions to this problem? (other then again buying/ripping 5000+ tracks on my present Apple ID...)

Okay, just bought the new Racoon album in the ITunes store. I did that from my Mac Mini server so it blended in with the rest of my music. ITunes Match did its work and made almost instant a match in the cloud. A few minutes later I logged out and in to Match on my IPhone and there the tracks showed up like advertised.
This still supports my claim that this has to do with the Apple ID/password combination.
Now I will try to rip a CD directly into my server and see if this will give the result that it will be matched as well. i will do that with an album that at present is skipped in my lists when i try to play it out of the cloud (although it claims to be matched).

Songs skip right in the middle of the song

when I listen to some songs right in the middle of the song it just stops and skips for no reason. In the past i've seen this issue go right within the first 0-10 seconds of the sogn but this time it is in th e middle.
What is causing this and how can I fix it?

I just started having this problem after the last itunes software update. It only happened on some songs. I tried resetting the iPod and that wiped out all my songs on the iPod. When I reload them, the problem now happens on all songs. Great solution, huh? Have you found a way to fix by any chance?

Itunes skips tracks halfway through

I recently made a few purchases. In itunes when I play them back they automatically skip to the next track about 30 seconds from the end.

I figured out a pretty straightforward solution to isolate and re-import affected .m4p files that randomly skip to the next track before the current track completes.

I downloaded an album and it would skip songs in the middle of the song, i downloaded an album and it would skip songs in the middle of the song

it wont play i have downloaded the album for 9.99 $ last night and i am not happy it would play but stops in the middle of the song and skip i want my money back and/or help on this

Try removing the album from iTunes and redownloading it via iCloud. It will not cost you anything assuming you live in a country where iCloud has gone live. See here for more information.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I would report a problem to iTunes Support. Head to the iTunes Store and click on your account in the upper right hand corner. This should bring you to the Account Information page. Scroll down to Purchase History and select the See All button to the right. On the next page should be a Report a Problem button.
