ITunes skips rapidly, no sound

My iTunes is skipping very rapidly from one song to the next, and no sound comes out. It is not the device, as it has happened on multiple devices, and my
girlfriend can play her iTunes on the same device without any problem.

I have the same problem. I found that this helps the ability to play songs through iTunes. Close iTunes 7.0, open QuickTime, select preferences and change the size to 16 bit, click OK, open iTunes and you should hear music again albeit not as dynamic as 24 bit.
It appears that the application design project team at Apple shoved the new application to meet an internal deadline that coincided with the new iPod line up and didn’t take quality or customer satisfaction into account. And naturally there is no way to contact Apple directly.
I would suggest that if Apple does not fix this ASAP, we should revert to Real Player to play music and download content. The only way Apple will listen if we hit them in the pocketbook. Refuse to use iTunes and download should make them listen.
Apple = White Windows.
Have a great day!

ITunes skips on my Mac

I have read about this problem on Windows machines, but not on the Mac. I have a new MacBook Pro with enough processing power for anything imaginable, and I am getting a lot of skipping with iTunes 7.3. It doesn't occur with all songs - I can't figure out anything common to the songs it does occur with. It occurs both with iTunes downloads and songs I have ripped from my CDs. I have tried some of the PC suggestions, such as turning off the equalizer and sound enhancer, with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does iTunes skip when Safari is not running? I have had audio playback problems on every Mac I've used when Safari is open, so I no longer use that browser. The cause of your playback problem may be different, and it's a good start that you've disabled a couple of the extra effects in iTunes already. In addition to what you've disabled already, you might as well turn off Crossfade playback (basically unnecessary now that iTunes has gapless playback) and Sound Check to see if that helps.

ITunes Skipping When Surfing Web And Listening To Music

I am running Vista SP2 and iTunes 9.1.0.79. If I am listening to music and open my Safari Web Browser the song I am listening to will skip, it does return to normal play, but as I continue to browse it will continue to skip. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster, not sure of exact model. I have 4GB of Ram and I am running the 32 bit version of iTunes. It's a Pentium D processor(double core)not C2D and 2.8 ghz. Didn't have this problem prior to 9.1.0.79... that I noticed. May be something with my machine, but everything else seems ok. I do have iTunes installed on my C Drive 250 GB internal while all my Music/Movies etc sits on a 1 TB internal drive. Would / Should this cause this problem...? Both drives are esata and as far as I know I have all updates ... any help would be appreciated...

I've been having similar issues when i do a bunch of 'Preview All" in the store. Once and a while It will skip and buffer.

ITunes Skipping like a CD

I looked around in the community before posting this and no one has seemed to answer this or fix it.
This started happening recently. Songs that never skipped before are acting like a scratched CD. It's not the songs, because they play fine in finder. I don't have anymore programs open then I normally have. I usually keep safari, tweetdeck, x-chat and adium open all the time. When I'm working or cleaning the house I have iTunes open and it has never had an issue playing songs correctly. I don't know if it's a recent update or what, but I'm really getting annoyed with iTunes skipping on all of my music.
I have more then enough memory to run iTunes.

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.

New songs I add to iTunes skip to the next song half-way through

Whenever I import new music that I have downloaded, iTunes skips to the next track half-way through. I don't have this problem with other songs, or when I transfer the songs to my iPhone or iPad. Does anyone know why this may be happening?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

New iTunes download delets my sound card

Everytime I try to download the new version of iTunes it delets my sound card. I would return to the older version but off the website all you can download it the newversion and I can no longer find my download disk. ANything I can do to prevent loss of my sound card? or a way to download an older version of iTunes?
Thanks too all who can suggest something.

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
you could also have a look at this troubleshooting page, it may be of some help: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

Airplay iTunes 11 only streams sound, no video, What's the fix?

HT203167 I've downloaded the Now Christmas album, all but 1 song has been downloaded and put in my library. The list says it's there but when I go to play it, iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song. I have downloaded lastest version of iTunes.

I have purchased and downloaded the Now Christmas album to my iTunes libary and all but 1 song have been purchased. The song appears in my library but when I go to play it iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song. It wouldn't normally bother me but its the only song my son wants to hear all the time (hopefully the heart strings will be pulled here and someone will reply before Christmas to help me!) I've loaded the last verison of iTunes.

Will the media file play with Quicktime Player? If it will then it's an iTunes issue. If it won't then you need to delete the file and download it a second time.

"New in iTunes" newsletter contents received in iPad email will not produce sound. Any ideas as to why? If I go into the iTunes program, I get sound without any problem.

Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

Rapid alarm sounds followed by rapid whooshing sounds

I have a macbook air and within the last few months when I am on the internet, I hear rapid dinging alarm like sounds followed by rapid whooshing sounds as if hundreds of emails are sending when I have no emails to send. Has this happened to anyone else? Has my computer been hacked? I am on my second new credit card due to someone hacking my credit card but was luckily caughter by Barckley Credit Card. Maybe I am connecting two separate issues.

Doubtful it's a security issue ...
Check System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Deselect: Play user interface sound effects

Lately I've noticed that videos on my iTunes aren't syncing sound with picture - lots of delay and pausing. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

iTunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted on my iMac, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

I have the same issue. If I open up the Equalizer and select any setting (including the one that is already checkmarked), the sound corrects itself. However, it goes right back to crappy when a new song comes on.
