Itunes stops randomly in  Lion

itunes stops randomly in  Lion ... any thoughts welcome ...
thx

Tried reseting the PRAM and that seemed to take care of the issue, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Also noticed iTunes tracks playing in Spotify had the issue and it seemed to persist after the reset - I ended up unlinking Spotify from iTunes and now it seems to work again in Spotify as well.

  • Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming.  I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected.  Any ideas?  Router?  ATV dying?

    Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming.  I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected.  Any ideas?  Router?  ATV dying?
    It just says not connected, and as soon as it bails to menu, it connects again and will play for another minute before doing the same thing all over again.

    Hello David, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your Apple TV is having trouble streaming videos from iTunes on your computer. This symptom could have a variety of causes, and I'd suggest the following initial troubleshooting steps. 
    In addition to restarting your devices (Apple TV, computer, router), try the tips in this article, starting with "Check your home network:"

  • ITunes stops working when accessing iTunes store

    The latest tunes 11.1, when you access the iTunes Store, iTunes stops working and wants to shut down.

    Ever since I got a new laptop with Win8 (5 months ago) I have been unable to access the iTunes Store.  I've searched for answers and nothing has worked.  Gave up for several months since Apple told me I'd have to pay their support team to fix the issue.  Today I found this thread, applied the fix found by "DonInDassel" and so far I'm accessing the store with no issue.  I copied & pasted the file into the new location so it stayed in both locations, just in case.  iTunes store is still running after 30 minutes and I've been randomly clicking all over the place just to test it!!!!  Why can't Apple figure this stuff out?  LOL!  I hope y'all have the same success!

  • ITunes stops playing for no reason

    Every once in a while, iTunes will randomly stop playing in midsong. I'm usually using a different application (Safari, MS Word, etc) when it happens. When I go back to iTunes the "play" key is on pause, as if I were to have paused the song myself. When I press play again, it's all good.
    This used to happen with my 5 year old Powerbook G4 and I figured it was just the computer slowly decaying, but the same thing happens in my brand new Macbook, so I'm assuming it may be a software glitch. I'm running 7.5 right now. It's not a huge inconvenience, but I know it's not supposed to be happening.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    You could try deleting the plist:
    1.) Quit iTunes
    2.) Go to Home > Library > Preferences and delete a file called com.apple.itunes.plist
    3.) Restart or logout/login comp
    4.) Open iTunes and try again
    Also try in a new user. That'll narrow it down to an issue with your account or something more system-wide.

  • ITunes 8 - random playing bug

    Greetings,
    if you try to play random song in playlist using space bar*, iTunes play only one random song (yes there are many more songs in playlist..) and after first song ends iTunes stop playing further. If you do the same while clicking on first song by mouse, it works. Using space bar makes iTunes choose first song randomly though... It worked in previous iTunes without problem.
    If its not just my problem, it should be easily fixable.
    *starting iTunes, picking playlist with randomizing on, pressing space bar

    I have seen a few posts here and at Macworld about iTunes 8 stopping after playing a single song. I just tried this with shuffle enabled and disabled (sequential playback) and encountered no such problem. This appears to be a bug affecting a few users. Unless you wish to play songs in sequence, Party Shuffle is actually what should be used to playback music in random order from playlists. I am actually surprised that Apple has not removed the redundancy.
    Does the same problem persist when you use Party Shuffle?

  • IPod80GB stops randomly

    My bloody iPod is stopping randomly, then the apple symbol appears for 30 seconds and then it reverts to the main menu. I guess it is reseting itself or something and it's driving me nuts. I have had it since Oct/06 and this problem may have started after I upgraded iTunes 7.5 but i'm not sure. I have also restored the bloody thing twice already. Could it be a battery issue? I often use the iPod in the car with an FM transmitter so it is always fully charged. Therefore I'm wondering if the battery is toast which is causing the problem.

    I had the same problem with my 5G 30GB iPod, it would freeze in the middle of tracks and reset itself (funniest was when it reset itself WHILE it was resetting). I had to send mine to Apple, and they replaced it. I suggest you contact Apple and hopefully they'll do the same.

  • Playback stops randomly

    lately (couple of weeks my itunes stops playng randomly. after a while it stops altogether. ver 11.04 imac quad 27" 16 g mem ??

    Is this problem happening on your Mac or a PC? You posted in the iTunes for Windows community but your profile shows a Mac and Mac software.
    If you have a Windows computer, take a look at this doc -> Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
    If you have a Mac, try Safe mode -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

  • Videos Won't Play and Songs Stop Randomly

    *These problems are on my iPod Nano 3rd Generation, Blue, 8GB*
    I added a video to my iPod, it will play on iTunes, but when I select it to play on my iPod, all I get is a black screen.
    Also, with a few songs, even one that I downloaded from iTunes, they will stop randomly in the middle of the song and go on and play the next song.
    I never had this song problem with my old, 1st generation nano.
    What should I do?
    Is it faulty? Should I return it back to the shop?

    If you downloaded iOS 6 - YouTube is no longer included in the iOS.
    If you are not running iOS 6 - go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you restricted YouTube.
    If it isn't restricted.Swipe from screen to screen and look for it. If you still can't find it....
    You can reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    For the videos - quit the app completely and then restart the iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ... 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Or...Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • Preview Songs Stops Randomly w/ Win 7 & Solutions Not Working

    SInce the 10.6 itunes update I have had issue with preview songs stopping randomly after between 7-20 seconds.  I have tried the recommended solutions on other posts to flush DNS cache files as well as repointing to open DNS server (8.8.8.8) to no avail.  I can preview music on other sites, notably Amazon, and other devices in the house can preview songs in itunes without issue including iphone, ipad, and mac notebook.  I am running WIndows 7 Home Deluxe version on Comcast gateway modem/router.  Given other devices work with itunes I don't think this is a router issues, and since my computer can preview music on other sites I don't think it is my machine.  I think there is an issue between Windows 7 and itunes that started with the 10.6  update.  I am very frustrated.  I have contact Apple Support via email with no reply.  Even went to local Apple store and they hadn't heard of the issue and wanted me to bring in my computer.  I am a cycle instructor and really depend on the preview song feature to find and purchase music and really need a solution.   PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE if you have a solution I would really appreciate a reply.

    Doublechecking. Have you tried resetting your iTunes Store cache?
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

    I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
    Any suggestions?

    I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
    I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up  again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.
