ITunes stops playing songs/podcasts/etc whenever I move my mouse.

I have no idea why this happens but its really aggrivating.

when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec.
At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

  • ITunes stopped playing songs in sequence or in shuffle mode. Help!

    I'm sure I've done something quite simple and stupid. Can anyone tell me how to restore? Thanks.

    Sorry, let me clarify. I'm not shuffling the songs on the iPod, which would be a random order every time. I've created a paylist within iTunes of about 30 CD's, in which I've shuffled those songs in iTunes. So that playlist is the same list of songs everytime, even though I've shuffled them. That list will stay the same until I reshuffle within iTunes.

  • ITunes stops playing and cannot connect to Remote app whenever the computer display turns off??

    I have a Windows system with iTunes, and an iPhone with the Remote app installed, through which I use to play music on iTunes. Until recently iTunes would play regardless of whether my monitor was on or not, and I could connect to iTunes with the Remote app regardless of the monitor state. Now, however, after updating both iTunes and Remote with the new versions that came out around the time of the iPhone 4S release, whenever my computer turns off my monitor, iTunes stops playing at the end of the current song and the Remote app cannot find iTunes. This is not a system sleep state, I just have the power options set to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes of inactivity. Sleep and hibernate are disabled on the system and always have been, expressly for the purpose of allowing iTunes playback via Remote. If I jiggle the mouse and the system turns the monitor back on then I can manually reenable playback, and Remote can connect to iTunes again. I can't find any setting in Preferences that would control this. How do I fix this? Thanks.

    I'm so glad someone else is having this problem.  I am in exactly the same situation!
    1. Windows Vista
    2. Upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and upgraded remote with iOS 5
    3. My computer has never been set to sleep, but the monitor turns off after 20 mins.
    4. If the monitor goes to sleep, itunes stops streaming music and Remote can't connect to it
    5. If I change my monitor off time to 1 hour, then in 1 hour itunes will stop streaming - it is ABSOLUTELY connected to the monitor sleeping.  Almost like iTunes can't connect to the network the the monitor is off.
    Please help!  I have been using remote for a year and this didn't happen until I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.

  • After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

    After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

  • Itunes stops playing on Windows 7

    I have just installed the most recent Itunes 64 bit for Windows 7 (10.6.1.7)
    Itunes stops playing after about 5 songs if there is nothing else running. If there is another program running, it happens after a minute.
    Everything seems to work except music playback. The play/pause command can be clicked but the progress bar won't move and no audio plays.
    The problem also occurs when Itunes is started in Safe Mode and also when a new library is created.
    I must close and restart to hear music another 4-5 songs before the situation repeats.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Music purchased and downloaded from iTunes will not play in the Windows Media Player.
    Try re downloading the album >

  • ITunes stops/starts songs every time certain keys are pressed, whether application is open/active or not.

    iTunes stops/starts songs whenever ENTER,"/" [num pad] or DELETE is pressed, whether the application is open/active or not.  Updated to most recent version a few days ago, though this began seemingly spontaneously today, possibly tied to an iPad sync although I really have no idea how it could have started.

    Hello Brian,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.
    I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

  • Shuffle 2 stopped playing audio podcasts

    Hi. I have a Shuffle 2nd generation that just stopped playing audio podcasts. I've been listening to music and OTR and CBC Radio podcasts, and all of a sudden it stopped playing the podcasts. Music plays fine, but if I just load it with podcasts, and try to play them, my little light just blinks (saying "you don't have anything loaded!"). It still plays the music, but skips over each podcast.
    The podcasts are good. I used to play the exact same ones a month or two ago - then it just stopped playing them. I can listen to the podcasts on Itunes, and can listen to them on my old Shuffle 1st generation.
    Help!

    ooh, I did a bit more research and found a solution for my problem.
    iPod shuffle won't play podcasts if its in shuffle mode.  You have to switch it to linear mode.
    I did that and now it plays just fine.  Hopefully that's all that was wrong with yours as well.
    I must have accidentally switched mine by accident and not realized it.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing when I close the lid on my laptop?

    I am playing iTunes on my Vista laptop and my setting are 'do nothing' for both powered and battery use, but when I close the lid iTunes stops playing music. Does anyone know why and how I stop it? Please don't say "don't close the lid..." Thanks.

    You have your answer... there is no way to stop iTunes from stopping playing music when the lid is closed.
    You can try adjusting the power settings, but if that's not working...there is no way for iTunes to override it.
