Itunes yes --iphone sometimes? skips tracks after a few seconds

hi new here
gota problem with listening to audiofiles in Iphone - Some folders play fine others start to play -about 2 - 5 seconds then skip to the next and the next until end of the album . However other folders from exactly the same original download play fine on Iphone , All of them play well on my intel IMac The format I think is Mpeg -1 audio files . Phoned Apple support in Uk they were not aware of problem . Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
Some folks have reported some skipping issues but nothing consistent yet. I'd certainly try resetting the phone and, if that doesn't work, a complete restore. Let us know if the problem continues after that.

All of the sudden, in order to make the home button work on my iPad 2, I have to press it without releasing my finger and sometimes, not always, after a few seconds it responds. Could this be a software glitch or a hardware problem, how can I find out and fix it

New iPod Classic jumps to next track after a few seconds of certain songs

I have several tracks that will not play on my new iPod Classic (80 gig) for more than a few seconds. After a few seconds, the iPod jumps to the next track. I have played the same songs on my last generation iPod with no problem and in Itunes and Windows Media player with no problem. There is clearly an issue with the new iPod hardware/software. Anyone else having this issue and found a fix.
I have already done a complete reinstall of the new iTunes and restored my iPod to factory settings and installed the latest iPod software.

Actually - I just noticed your solution to the issue. I tried PT's solution, which I mention above and it didn't work. I haven't tried your solution - however, I have considered it. Here's the problem with it though. The first problem is having to sift through 5400+ songs on my ipod to know which ones are having the issue and which ones need to be burned. The second issues is that the songs are compressed mp3's. Converting the compressed mp3's into a cd and reimporting it back into mp3 further degrades the file - you're essentially making an mp3 from an mp3. It actually makes no sense to do this unless you've purchased your music from an online store and therefore don't have the original cd's. Since all of my music is from my cd collection, it would be simpler to re-import the songs from the cds. But, it's really the first issue I mentioned that is the kicker - I don't want to go through my entire music collection to find out which ones are having the problem. The problem isn't the tracks as far as I am concerned - I still have my previous generation iPod and the same tracks play fine. The same tracks play fine in iTunes and Windows Media Player. The problem is the new iPod. If Apple can't resolve the issue through an iPod/iTunes update in the next week or so, I'll just return the iPod and stick with my old one.

Skips to next track after a few seconds

when i have my ipod on shuffle it skips some songs after playing the first few seconds, please help!!!!!!

Remember the skipped songs, go into iTunes, highlight these songs, right-click, choose "convert to AAC (or MP3..whatever you've set). After converting delete the older songs, then sync your pod again and you're done!
Regards, Chris
P.S.: The Problem is, that iPod nano has problems to playback some (unknown) encoded MP3 Tracks. So when you import your Songs always with iTunes itself, then iPod will play all songs perfectly (no matter if you convert them to AAC or MP3, which you can set in preferences in iTunes. You just have to import songs with iTunes).

Anyone havign trouble with Facebook shutting down after afew seconds. Loads fine on iPhone 5 but quits after a few seconds.

Video preview skipping/freezing after a few seconds

Hi All,
I am a new user of Premiere Pro and am having an anoying issue with video stuttering/skipping in the preview windows when editing.
I am trying to edit GoPro footage shot from a Hero 3 Black in 1080p 60fps. The video preview is at 1/2 res and it will play smoothly for about 3 seconds, then start skipping. If I pause the preview for a few seconds and restart, it catches up and plays smooth for 3 more seconds or so, then skips again.
I have tried to convert the raw gopro footage to a premier preset (MPEG-2) using brosoft video converter and have the same problem.
I thought it may be due to hardware limitations with my older PC, but I have upgraded the slowest parts of the system with no luck (the rest of the PC is running like lightening now though).
Here is the current setup:
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
CPU - AMD Phenom X4 9750 - 2.4Ghz Quad core - 64bit - specs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20X4%209750%20-%20HD9750XAJ4BGH%20(HD9750XAGH BOX).html
Ram - 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz
Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N68-VM (AM2) (sata II, not sata III compatable)
Graphics - 1535MB GeForce GTX 580 (EVGA)
HDs -
New 256GB Samsung MZ-7PD256 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive (SATA) - System drive
932GB Western Digital WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 ATA Device (SATA) - Video storage
1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 ATA Device (SATA) - General storage
Is there anything else I should be trying here or is this just a limitation of HD video??? Surely I should be able to preview what I am trying to edit without pausing the footage every 3 seconds? =(.

I have a few other things running at the same time, but I disable network, Antivirus, Media Server apps etc etc (anything thats hungry).
When play skipps I see RAM at about 50-60% useage, CPU below 50 % on all 4 cores. I have notised that the HDD spikes up to 100% at times but then drops off. I have tried running everything off my SSD and seems to make no difference.
When I render a clip, it play perfectly....so seems to just be the preview of the GoPro clips thats causing issues. I will have a play with converting the footage to something smaller/lower quallity, but that defeats the purpose of shooting HD footage.
Another thing I have been notising is that the rendered final clip is rather blury/has some issues with fast moving footage. Any ideas?

Ipod skipping songs after a few seconds

I have been having problems with playing certain songs on my new 80GB ipod classic (all ripped from CDs, not purchased or downloaded).
The songs will skip to the next song after anything from right at the beginning of the song to 30 seconds in. If I go back, I can fast forward past the point it skips, and it will play to the end.
I have already tried deleting the songs from my library and re-importing, restoring my ipod with the latest software and checking that the stop time on the song is correct. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks

I have a similar issue, the only difference being that when I fast forward it will not continue to play, only again, skip to the next song.
After some research I have found that the only thing that seems to work for me is to convert my files to MP3 using the "convert to MP3" function found in iTunes. All my songs are already in MP3, but the reason this works is due to the encoding. If the encoding is unknown, it seems more often than not my iPod will skip those tracks. When you convert it to mp3 using iTunes it changes the encoding to some kind of iTunes encoding.
This makes me VERY angry. There is no way I have found to sort the items by their encoding as to convert only the problematic ones. Also, when you convert it changes the bit rate to read what ever your rip settigs are. This ***** because I plan on reripping some of my CDs that I ripped years ago at a low bit rate. If I convert to MP3 I cannot search my library to see which ones were ripped at the lower rate.
It also creates a duplicate of the audio file, which means I will not have enough space on my hard drive to compensate for over 12000 duplicated at a higher or equivilant bit rate.

I downloaded an update in settings this morning on my iPhone5. When phone came back on, the screen showed a line coming up from the bottom of the screen to a locked padlock, then an up arrow above the padlock, then an Itunes icon above the arrow. I tried swiping, tapping, everything, and nothing would happen. Then the phone shut down. What do I do?

HT2045 itunes preview stops after a few seconds

Lately, if you click on a song in itunes to preview it stops playing after a few seconds. How can you fix this?

1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
2. Then apply these instructions:
Windows XP
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Your problem should be 100% solved

Skipping the song after a few seconds on certain tracks

hi, I have spent hours trying to find something about this and there's nothing anywhere, this is getting really annoying.
I bought a 2g ipod nano in February and here's my problem. When i play certain songs, the Ipod will stop after a few seconds and jump to the next one. It happens always on the same song, however I can make it work if I manually skip some of the song by holding the forward button, but it still might jump to the next one after a few seconds. Anyway, I missed a good part of the song in the process and I have to do it all the time. This is annoying because on some albums, I miss up to 4 or 5 songs. I don't think that's what you expect after spending $150 on a new toy.
I noticed it does that on songs that are irregular, with breaks in them. I have restored, reset, erased the songs and replaced them, looked into all the options possible, through the forums and the internet and cant find a good answer. please help me!

thanks for all the help.
now, went to play with those options and it doesn't change anything. I even try to set it up so it would skip the first 3 seconds of the song since it's where it stops. To no avail. just stopped at 7 seconds...
So, it's not the track, it's not the gapless option (on or off doesn't make any difference), it's not the Ipod program (reinstalled it several times). What is it then???
