ITunes skips and stutters while working.

iTunes has begun sounding terrible when I'm doing other work that is processor intensive. Whether streaming or playing files, while I'm editing images in Adobe Lightroom. OS 10.7.2 iTunes 10.5. Its nearly unlistenable.

Update. No skipping via my two sets of airtunes speakers plugged into airport express. Only skipping on my USB Soundsticks plugged directly into my iMac.
Thanks!

ITunes skips and stutters

Itunes skips and stutters, and the program locks up and won't close, requiring me to use the task manager to stop the "program that is not responding". I have deleted itunes and then downloaded it again, but I have the same problem. Everthing else works fine and both Norton and Advanced SystemCare6 indicate there are no viruses or anything. Has anyone been able to correct this problem? Thanks! I don't want to go back to Windows Media Player!!! (Note: Version 11.1.0.126)

Yes, it's just untenable. I hate to leave iTunes behind, but I can't deal with this situation. Are you going to scrap iTunes and go back to WMP, or do you have a better program in mind?

ITunes skips and delays while playing movies.

Often while playing movies on iTunes the video will freeze while audio still runs. When I try to skip ahead to another part of the movie, the screen blacks out entirely, while still playing audio. I have OS X Lion and iTunes 10.5.2 and otherwise the program runs fine for music. Any ideas or comments?

Iphone Music player skips and stutters with MP3s

With the upgrade to iOS 5 (and 5.0.1) on my iPhone 3GS (32GB) I began to notice skips and stutters on numerous MP3s about 10 to 30 seconds into the song. I don't remember having any problems prior to iOS5 upgrade.
The skips and stutters are somewhat reproducible in that, if I hear the skip or stutter, if I go back to the beginning of the song and play the song again, the skip or stutter will happen in approximately the same spot and will be of approximately the same nature (a repeated phrase or a jump or a distortion) but it isn't exactly the same.
Most of my songs are 256kbps VBR MP3s ripped either by iTunes from my own CDs or purchased from Amazon.
The facts (1) that the skip/stutter/or distortion is not exactly the same each time (2) the skips and stutters seem localized to the first 10 to 30 seconds of the song, then they play fine afterward, (3) that I don't have problems playing these songs under iTunes on my MacBook pro, and (4) it happens both with iTunes ripped MP3s and Amazon MP3s, would seem to be some form of OS problem rather than coding error. My guess would be some form of buffering issue or OS scheduling issue.
Has anyone else noticed these problems?

I experienced the same problem with my Iphone 5 skipping and not playing the music in my library correctly. I called apple and they gave me a solution that worked so far.
The problem in my case was created by restoring the new phone from icloud. Apparently, if you have a lot of music or data, the music files don't completely download.
Of course, make sure your music is backed up before starting
Solution: connect iphone to itunes / select the music tab / uncheck sync music altogether / hit apply or sync (this should remove all music files from your phone) / when completed, re-check the sync entire music library or select your custom playlists-songs you want on your phone / then click apply or sync to put back all music on phone.
This should solve your problems

Dvd skipping and stuttering

after i make dvd with IDVD it plays on mac dvd player without a problem. Using any other dvd player is always a problem. skipping and stuttering. installed "toast 10" and am happy with it, but very disappointed in IDVD

Hi
My list on Bad DVDs
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU
Yours Bengt W

Audio From Speakers Keeps Skipping and Stuttering on HP ENVY 15-j185nr

Hi I have a HP ENVY 15-j185nr and My speakers audio keeps skipping and stuttering and i can see in the beats audio control panel that it fluctuates in the levels between the Bass and Treble and also The Volume. Now When I connect my Beats Wireless Headphones to My Computer i have no problem with the audio on the bluetooth side but when i connect the headphones on the wired side and plug it into the computer audio jack the audio is playing from both headphones and speakers and it is STILL skipping and Stuttering. My Computer OS was 8.1 Enterprise when this Problem Occured and since then I've updated to Windows 10 Enterprise by Doing a clean install hoping that this will fix the problem but it didn't After i updated my windows OS I can now see in the Device Manager in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers Category that my High Definition Audio Device have a yellow triangle exclamation point icon under it and its device status says This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. The driver version is 10.0.10240.16384 and The drver date is Thursday July 9. 2015. i've uninstalled and resinstalled the driver numerous times and the exclamation icon is still there and i wanted to know is it a Hardware problem or a Driver Problem?. Is this a simple fix or do i have to take it in and get it fix by a computer tech? can anybody please help me?

Hi,
Try the following
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook by holding down the Shift key as you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot. Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my music on Apple TV

Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV

It isn't actually stored anywhere, it needs to be downloaded from the internet before any content can be played.
iTunes Match content is accessed through the 'Music' icon on the main screen though, it needs turning on though in settings first.

Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

Itunes Store and Help not working + Ipod not backing up

Hey everyone,
Its been like this for about a month or two...
I click on itunes store and it opens but gets halfway and never loads any further. Ive tried everything you can imagine. Proxy servers, uninstall and install, etc.
PLUS!
My ipod touch isnt backing up. It too also gets half way then stops. Then when i try to sync it it does everything but backs up then at the end says "Itunes could not back up the ipod because a session could not be started with the ipod"
so i went in and deleted all my backups till the most recent one, tried again and no luck.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!! :'(

It will take a couple of days for the artwork to show up. However in you case the URL to your artwork or the filename may be wrong.
You have a URL of http://www.hopecbc.org/imagefiles/podcast.png listed. I get a 404 error when I try to pull it up in a web browser. Same thing with the URLs to your MP3 files.
Looking at your website and checking the resources page that lists the sermons for downloads the URL's look to actually have upper and lowercase letters in them, while the urls in your XML do not. Your server is case sensitive, so
http://www.hopecbc.org/mp3files/sermons/hebrews/082607amgodfreyhebrews11.mp3
which is in your XML is different from
http://www.hopecbc.org/mp3Files/Sermons/Hebrews/082607amgodfreyhebrews11.mp3
which seems to be the correct url.
Correct them and it will probably work...

Itunes 10 and Quicktime not working

I have Windows Vista 64 bit and ever since iTunes 10 installed it will not launch. Neither will Quicktime. I've tried everything on the support pages but no success. Please help!

Not sure if it will work for everyone but I had the same issue... couldn't get music to even go on my iphone nor play it on itunes... I read somewhere else that if you open quicktime (which i had a bugger of a time opening) just far enough to get to tools and options... go to the advanced tab and go to the audio settings... as soon as i did the error message popped up and it had me select the correct audio card and then everything worked like a charm again.

ITunes Match disappears from iTunes store and won't work

Hi there,
I'm having 2 problems, and hoping *someone* can help, because Apple sure can't.
I just again purchased iTunes Match, even though last year it never worked properly (it would load 20,000 songs, but then each time I backed up my phone, they would all disappear and I would have to spend days and day to re-load them every time).
I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 and the newest iPad. When I click on music on my iPhone or iPad, only 36 artists show up when there should be thousands.
I just logged in to iTunes on my computer, with my phone connected, with the music drive connected, with iTunes Match turned on, on the phone, and iTunes Match does not show up anywhere. In fact, when I click on the store (how else are you supposed to get to it anyway?? It surely isn't intuitively placed), iTunes Match shows up for ONE SECOND in the menu on the righthand side and then it DISAPPPEARS. I have re-started, searched the forum, searched the web, and called the Apple store (which as usual was no help at all).
I checked that it is turned on, on my phone, and went through all the iTunes preferences and there is nothing there. PLEASE please help. I just paid for this darn thing again for another year, but it will not work properly, and now I can't even access it. (And I noted one post elsewhere that said to click on the iTunes store and enable it. That is not an option for me. When I click on the store... ok, I already explained this above).
Would appreciate any help possible. Thanks.
Sincerely,
CP

HOW CAN I CAPTURE SCREEN AND SOUND WHILE WORKING IN AUDITION

Hi! I would like capture the screen in real time as well as the sound while working in audition and later add voice and annotations .
I tried Adobe Acitvate but it is not working. Time is running out for my trial version and I need to decide to get the right software.
Hope to get an answer soon.
David

Are you talking about having used Adobe Captivate? If yes, which kind of recording did you start? And; since you talk about a trial version, I suppose you use Captivate 7?

Itunes v5 and greater wont work. why? error and crash

Itunes v5 and the newest update, both create and error during install, during launch and when uninstalling.
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
this is the error signiture:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 5.0.1.4
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
no other info is given, except for the techical report which is saved in a temp file, and doesnt help me out. no error codes.
I have unistalled and cleaned my registry free of all itunes and quicktime files and still nothing works. Which is not good because I have many days of AAC files. previous version of itunes have always worked fine.
Any ideas or am I stuck waiting for the next itunes release with tones of AAC files that cant be played?
thanks for all ideas and post!!!

well done, Jason!
I do wonder though, why did it work with the SA version of QT, when the itunes download comes with QT?
i'm speaking as a "technical journalist" rather than a "software installation engineer". (i have been the former, i've never been the latter.)
as i understand it, the odds of running into an installation error (of any software package) increase when you've got two separate installs "chained together". that's what we've got going on with the itunes-5.0x/QT-7.0.2 installer bundle.
in additon, more things seem to interfere with QT 7.0.2 installs than QT 6.5.2 installs. (QT 6.5.2 came in the itunes 4.9 installer bundle.)
those two factors taken together raise the chances of the QT part of the 5.0.x/7.0.2 install going wrong by comparison with the 4.9/6.5.2 install.
basically, i'm just doing what we did on itunes 4.9 installs when things got sticky in certain ways. i try to run the itunes and QT installs separately. i just have to advise people to do that more frequently than i did with 4.9.
(people with a more in-depth technical understanding of these matters please feel free to leap in and say "b is a
b fool
as well as a scoundrel," and give poor Jason a more in-depth and correct explanation.)
love, b
