ITunes starts fast forwarding tracks after 1hours continuous play?

Hi I have recently updated windows XP on my computer to service pack three. After this update when I am listening to iTunes it suddenly started playing the songs in my library too quickly as if it was stuck on fast forward.
If you stop itunes playing then press play or select a different track it continues to play too fast. The only way to fix the problem is to close itunes and re-open it.
I have now found that this problem starts after iTunes has been playing music for just over an hour, so currently I'm having to close and re-open itunes ever hour to keep listening to music.
Any Idea why this might be happening?
I'm running XP SP3, 3GB ram, 3GHz processor, 200GB HD no where near full. Its iTunes version 8.2.1.6.
Thanks
Liam

Anyone else have this problem? I have now timed the problem to exactly 1hour 9minutes of continuous play, so if you play for 30 mins, pause for 15 then play iTunes starts fastforwarding 39 minutes later.

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

Have you tried copying it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and seeing if it plays ok on your computer ? If it does then try deleting it from your iPad and then sync it back and see if it then plays. If not then you could use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Fast Forward in iTunes

Hello
I know that in iTunes, you can fast forward a music for 5 seconds by hiting Command-Option-right arrow.
What I want it to do this from any application, when iTunes is not the frontmost.
I tried the follwing script, but it doesn't work:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
key code 124 using {command down, option down}
end tell
end tell
(key code 124 is right arrow)
Any help? Thankls

Hi Vicc
Why not try iTunes fast forward, resume, etc etc
tell application "iTunes" to fast forward
delay 5
tell application "iTunes" to resume
--tell application "iTunes" to rewind
--tell application "iTunes" to play
--tell application "iTunes" to playpause
--tell application "iTunes" to next track

No continuous play in iTunes

Recently, when I'm in iTunes, I cannot get it to do continuous play in playlists or otherwise. It just plays one song and then stops. If I hit the fast forward button, the song stops. The songs are all checked, so that is not the problem. I've restarted the computer and that doesn't seem to help either.
We recently upgraded to Leopard. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any help is much appreciated so I can listen to my Christmas music playlist in time for the holidays!

OK, I see I didn't read your post carefully enough, but the behaviuor your describe is typical of unchecked music.
I wonder if it is worth unckecking your tracks and then rechecking them.
Something else you might try is close iTunes and drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml somwhere convenient out side the iTunes music folder, then restart iTunes so you get a new library created - then add you music againa and see if the problem clears. This is just a test to see if there is something funny going on in the library. You can put the originals back afterwards.
I don't want to suggest anything more complex as I am a Windows person and I know nothing about macs.

New apple keyboard 2007 likes to fast-forward by itself

I recently set up my PowerBook as a desktop computer with external monitor, keyboard and mouse, while always leaving the PowerBook shut. My keyboard is the new thin apple keyboard and it seems to work fine after installing the update except that some times iTunes will just start fast forwarding through 4 or 5 songs before finally stopping, This usually happens when I'm not even sitting at the computer, so there is no input into the mouse or keyboard. It seems to be fairly random. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies. Ok, so the transport keys can control iTunes, even if it isn't the active application? That's what I've always wanted to do.
And the 2nd working USB port sounds great. It's always frustrated me that I couldn't plug my 1GB USB Flash Drive directly into the keyboard. Now I can do it without fiddling around on the back of the iMac.
You said Expose uses the F3 key, but Expose typically has 3 different functions: All Windows, All Applications and Desktop. How do you these 3 things with the new Apple Keyboard?

IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

Hi
In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
Thanks

Try:
- Try a regular pair of headphones
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My screen goes blank when I fast forward

Is there something wrong or is this normal? This happens when I use Airplay to stream something from my Ipad 2 like youtube

I think you are misunderstanding the progress bar on the Apple TV.
The white bar tells you how much of the video the Apple TV has downloaded this can happen faster than Realtime and usually does. The second part to the progress bar is the play head, the play head shows you where you are in the movie.
So for example, when you start a movie the play head is at the beginnin,g as is the white download progress bar. After let's say a minute (of lets say a 30 minute video), the play head will be 1/30th of the way along but the white progress bar maybe 1/4 of the way along, meaning that about 7 1/2 minutes of the video have buffered to the Apple TV.
If at this stage you were to fast forward the video,; whilst the play head is moving within the portion of the white progress bar you will see the video moving quickly. However, once it gets to the end of the white progress bar it runs out of buffered video, and then will show you a black screen, because it has no more video to play.

Zen Micro firmare upgrade, now can't fast forward or auto resum

I upgraded my Zen Micro to version 2.2.02e from ..something so I could use ZenCast. Now I cannot fast forward tracks, the "time remaining" counter remains at zero always and it will no longer auto resume. Also "Seek to" doesn't work. Did anyone else have this problem? Is this firmware broken?
Cheers!

jrbg5,
I forgot to mention... when I tried?my ZEN?on my son's PC and Laptop, both of which work fine with his ZEN, that both of those machines are running Win2k ... not XP SP2.
The only XP PC in my house is my tower running XP MCE2005 SP2.BTW...thinking back, the USB cable may have stopped charging around the time I installed my Creative Web Cam. It got me thinking about driver conflicts, but since my ZEN doesn't work on the other PC's ... I'm lost as what to do next.

No audio during fast-forwarding in Quicktime

I recently updated to v. 10.10.3 yosemite. While playing a lecture in Quicktime, when I fast forward it no longer gives audio to allow me to listen to the lecture a little quicker. Can this be changed so that when I fast forward the audio can still play?

The QT X FF/FR playback features have been altered. FF/FR at 2x, 5x, 10x, 30x, and 60x are without audio. FF/FR at 1.1x thru 1.9x in 0.1x increments is with audio when holding down the "Option" key while pressing the FF/FR control buttons. QT 7 offers FF/FR with audio at 2x and 3x (less dropped frames) using the "L" and "K" keyboard shortcuts. VLC offers forward and reverse playback with audio in frame rates from 0.25x to 4x using the slider control with increments that vary proportionally with the slide control's current position.

Fast forward icon!

I don't know why there is a fast forward icon instead of a play/pause icon on the upper-left of my ipod. It is always there even it is paused/playing.

You will want to reset your iPod...

This does not affect the data on your iPod. It is similar to restarting a computer.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.
