ITunes skips, stammers when I browse the Internet

This didn't occur before I upgraded to 7.0+.
I used to be able to browse the internet to my hearts content AND listen to iTunes. No longer.
Looking through Best Buy's weekly ad? Skips.
Searching for something on eBay? Skips.
I don't think I should buy a second computer to listen to iTunes. I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor with 2 GB of RAM. I ought to be able to surf the web and listen to iTunes at the same time...
Does anyone have any ideas? Apple has been unresponsive.

This seems to be a very common problem after upgrading to iTunes 7. Apple offer this help on troubleshooting the problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
Some people, like me, never completely resolve the problem. I got rid of most of the stuttering except when a large program was loading by following the above advice.
In the end I downgraded back to 6, but this is only possible if you have an iPod that is OK on 6 and you don't want the content offered on V7.

  • My App Store keeps coming on when I browse the internet.

    My App Store keeps opening when I browse the internet?

    If you accidentally tap on a link that is for an App Store app, that will open the App Store. Try clearing Safari, close Safari and then reboot your iPad and see if that fixes this.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    In order to close Safari, Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

    iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web.  Is this a Quicktime issue?  I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes.  Any suggestions?

    Actually, that doesn't work either.  Here's the solution that is working consistently:
    Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound.  There we go, that works!! 

  • ITunes 7 crashed when I browsed the TV show section (every time)

    Whenever I go to the TV show section for iTunes 7, the program crashes on me. It claims that I don't have DirectX - which I do have.
    How do I fix this?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why won't my phone load when I search the Internet?

    When I browse the Internet and try to open a page it stays in loading mode and never loads the info.  Help please!

    Ensure that you have good wifi or 3G connection.  IF you do, then try a reset, hold down the home/power butoon together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Hi Everybody
    I have a strange issue
    When I browse the internet using my N82 web browser & I am asked to fill any field on the web page the font color is in white

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • Slow browsing the Internet

    I have a very, very strange issue with my BT Infinity.
    When I browse the Internet, 20% of pages I want to open, it takes like 3-10 seconds where the browser stays at 'waiting for xxxxxx' before loading this page (similar to dns issues when a PC cannot resolve an IP address and waits forever). It is weird as it is not the same page every time. I can e.g. open 10 pages without any issues and then 3 pages are slow as hell. When I try them again, sometimes they are fast sometimes not. No obvious connection here...
    What I have checked so far:
    - speedtests show 60Mbps/12Mbps, 7-15ms
    - DNS servers hard coded to google and later to open-dns, tested with nslookup - fast and no issues
    - tested with two wired devices - the same problem
    - ping check ran for 24 hours: 99,9999% received, a few pings dropped only!
    - no speed issues, tested with ftp: download speed was around 7MBps and stable
    - no issues with Skype (including video skype).
    - tried different browsers on these two PCs
    Not sure what else I can do. I can imagine it will be a nightmare trying to explain it to a 1st line support BT engineer over the phone...

    Well, just a suggestion for something to look at. Do you use any ad-blocking software?
    I ask becasue I use a customised hosts file to block most ad-serving sites, and one effect of this is that some websites seem to be coded to wait for a response or a time-out from the advert server before loading their own pages. One forum I use will sit there blank for 15 seconds if it wants to send me a new advert from the Google ad-servers, because I have them blocked via hosts. Some other sites are similarly slow to load.
    It's an irritation, but as it's self-inflicted I can't really complain!

  • My Itunes is skipping while I browse the internet

  • My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

    My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet.  We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset."  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally

    is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally, i have bb curve 9360

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    It might be normal...I've heard (while rare) of some carriers preventing their BB users from using BB-proprietary services via WiFi. But, with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not WiFi), I do suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • How to use your Treo 750 to browse the internet on your mac

    Hi There,
    I am by no means an expert on this, but this is what has worked for me. I'm on Vodafone in New Zealand but I think this setup (or very similar) should work with Cingular in the states or other Windows Mobile v5 devices.
    1. Install The Windows Mobile Modem Scripts Onto Your Mac
    Download the Generic Windows Mobile Modem Scripts (3 of them) from: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
    The scripts are under "Windows Smartphones & BlackBerrys" called "Scripts for Windows Mobile phones" (half way down the page)
    Once downloaded, put the scripts into >Library >Modem Scripts
    2. Start Bluetooth on the Treo
    Go >Start Menu >Settings >Connections (from the bottom) >Bluetooth
    Tick "Turn on Bluetooth"
    Tick "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
    Click OK
    3. Pair The Treo with your Mac (done on the Mac)
    If the Bluetooth menu is not already on your mac (near the date and time, top right) go to >System Preferences >Bluetooth
    Under the "settings" tab tick "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" and the menu will appear
    Once the menu is there, choose "Set up Bluetooth Device..."
    Click "Continue" and on the next screen choose "Mobile Phone". Click "Continue"
    Make sure the screen on the Treo is on (I've found the mac has trouble discovering the device otherwise)
    Choose your phone and click "Continue"
    Click continue and enter the pass code on the Treo and click "Next"
    Once pared, on the phone click "Finish"
    On the mac, make sure "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" is ticked and click "Continue"
    Enter your Vodafone (or Cingular) account username and password (see notes below)
    Under phone number enter: *99# (this invokes GPRS or the 3G data connection)
    Choose "Windows Mobile GSM 460k" from the "Modem Script" pop up menu
    Click "Continue"
    Click "Quit"
    Select the new phone from the Bluetooth Devices list and press the "Edit Serial Ports" button from the left
    Click the plus sign under the main window
    Name it "Treo750" (or Cingular or Vodafone or whatever you want)
    Choose "Modem" from the "Port type" pop up menu
    Tick "Require pairing for security" and "Show in Network Preferences"
    Click "Apply"
    4. Configure The Bluetooth Port
    Go >System Preferences >Network
    Choose "Network"
    A "New Port Detected" window should pop up, click "OK" (if it doesn't and you have a new "Bluetooth" port, don't worry)
    Select the "Bluetooth" port from the list and click "Configure"
    Under the PPP tab, click the "PPP Options" button from the bottom
    Untick "Send PPP echo packets" and "Use TCP header compression" under "Advanced Options"
    Click "OK"
    Click the "Apply Now" button from the bottom right
    Close System Preferences
    5. Connecting to browse the internet from the mac
    Go >Applications >Internet Connect
    Click "Bluetooth" from the top
    Tick "Show modem status in menu bar"
    Quit internet connect
    Make sure the Treo is on and bluetooth is on (and your data connection is on, see notes below)
    Go up to the internet connect menu (the little phone icon) and select "Connect"
    Notes
    For the carrier account name and password, I just used the same account info that was on my phone under >Start >Settings >Connections >Connections Icon >Manage existing connections >Edit "VFNZ Internet" (or your carrier name) >Next Screen >Next Screen >Next Screen. On this third screen, I found my account details.
    If for you there is nothing, then more than likely your carrier doesn't require a name and password - so on your Mac, leave these fields blank and just enter *99# for the phone number. Although, I think you may have to use something (for Mac & Windows Mobile compatibility) so just try entering username: guest and password: guest. There is much more info regarding this in the readme file that comes with the Windows Mobile modem scripts. Or contact your carrier for your specific details (probably the best thing to do!).
    I have found the connection to be a little bit unreliable when the Treo's screen goes to sleep - so I tend to hit a button on the treo every 30 seconds to keep it on - But Vodafone here in NZ has flashed the ROM to make it HSDPA compatible so others may not have this problem.
    I had trouble the first time I tried to connect through internet connect. But after I connected through >System Preferences >Network >Bluetooth >Connect button next to the configure button at the bottom, it worked every time from the Internet Connect menu.
    Also, you may want to check your email or browse a page on the Treo first, just before connecting from your mac to make sure the data connection is on - I haven't worked this out fully but I'm not sure the Mac can open the data connection itself. Again, this may be a region/carrier specific issue.
    Cheers
    Ben

    I've also found The Missing Sync to work much better than Pocket Mac for syncing the Treo to the Mac.

  • I'm unable to browse the internet at home on my Macbook Pro (10.6.3), even though it shows I am connected to the wireless network with full bars.

    This problem began weeks ago, when I suddenly couldn't browse the Internet at home despite being fully connected to the network. The network was a private, password-protected wireless network set up through a Netgear router.
    I have spent hours troubleshooting and have tried multiple fixes including resetting PRAM, deleting and re-creating Airport, deleting and re-creating networks, changing IP and DNS, etc. to no avail. My roommate's PC works perfectly fine on the same wireless network.
    This seems to be an issue with networks I use long-term. I can connect fine to networks at Starbucks, etc. for short-term use. Also, while trying to troubleshoot my connection issues on my home network over the last few weeks, I'd been using my apartment complex's public wireless connection (no password) with no issues. All of a sudden, I am having the same exact issue with that network. It's like something just snaps and maybe gets configured wrong after a few weeks or months of use.
    I am desperate to find a fix, since now I can't use the internet AT ALL while at home and need it for work.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
