Jumpy Audio with itunes, hulu, youtube

Recently, my audio on my 2008 MBP has been super jumpy when using itunes, hulu and youtube (plugged into an ethernet). When the audio get's jumpy, my mouse gets jumpy/erratic and slow. Any suggestions?

I believe you're going to need multiple computers hosting iTunes to these Airport Express units. Each iTunes can only play one feed, to as many (or as few speakers as you'd like).
So your iMac can stream to the bedroom while watching Youtube videos locally (with local speakers disabled), and another computer (Mac or PC, desktop or laptop) can be providing internet radio to the kitchen.
I'll follow this thread to see if there actually is a device (or software) that allows for multiple source playback from the same computer.

Stuttering audio with itunes 7.0

what's going on with my itunes audio. now whnever itunes is playing audio, if I open any other app, i.e. net browser, and use the scroll or perform any other activity, my audio starts skipping out - badly. never did before the 7.0 upgrade????
direct x, drivers, everything up to date.
thanks!

Ok. After alot of frustration and late night experimenting I have found that controlling my page file size has seemed to correct my "stuttering audio" with iTunes 7.0. My pagefile.sys had swelled to 4 times it's normal size after the upgrade.(?) I can't prove this or tell you why it happened. All I know is setting my page file sizes to 100-800 (min.& max. respectively) my system response while having iTunes open along with other apps has improved 100%. It hasn't skipped once after re-creating all of the instances that had once brought my audio to a screaching halt.(literally) It may be helpful to note that my system currently has 2GB of ram. So setting the page file to these lower settings has not had any negative effects when running Cubase SX or my video editing software. No, I'm not an expert nor do I claim any authority in the computing industry whatsoever. Just thought I'd share my experience with others.

Multi-Zone Audio with itunes?

I am trying to develop a Multi-Zone Audio System, and i would like to use itunes as my basic software. Since all my family are using ipod/iphone.
My question is how to get 2 or more itunes playing different songs at the same time? or how 1 itunes play different playlist?
Although itunes allow user to create more than 1 libraries, still can't compatible to multi-zone function
anyone have other idea or suggestion?

No audio - from iTunes or youTube...

And no volume indicator on the top.
In iTunes, when I hit play, the arrow turns to the vertical lines, but nothing hapens.
For videos, picture comes but no sound.
This just happened 10 days ago. Before that, all worked.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @Itmse
I see that you did the factory recovery and it was working fine until yesterday and you have again lost the sound.

Audio with itunes movies

i haven't bought an iTunes movie yet but it seems tempting
just one thing
which kind of audio format is used and is it surround sound compatible?

From the FAQ (Q20):
Will movies support surround sound?
Yes. Movies include audio which is encoded using Dolby Surround which delivers multichannel audio when played using Dolby Pro Logic systems.

I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
"AirPort Express" isn't an option.
Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I'm having a problem with audio in iTunes 10

Hello there,
During playback with iTunes 10.5 beta 8, i have somes artifacts.
Beacaus eit's difficult to describe, I've made a quick recording you can get there: http://cl.ly/2K270t3G2G111T2e3j33
Every tracks are perfectly played by quicktime or VLC. I really don't understand (i have no plugins, no sound enhancer enabled).
Any ideas?
Thank you :]

That is exactly what i am doing but to no avail... The first time i tried to transfer a clip to the timelin from the source monitor , only the video portion transferred. I puttered around a little and used the extract audio command from the clip menu and got the audio to transfer, however; it only works when i transfer the whole clip not a trimmed peice. I'm using AVCHD. I captured the videos to my computer using the PMB picture browser that came with my sony HDR SR12. the videos transferred fine and then the program asked me if i wanted to analyze the videos to vies them.. they came out graet! I then started to try to use my new Premiere Pro program to edit these and am having much difficulty learning this even using the Classroom in a book. I know this is probably something settings related . When I look at the audio description it shows that the audio is compressed in the 5.1 format. Could this be the problem? that it's compressed? Why is it still compressed if I extracted it? Thanks in advance for all your help. This really is quite frustrating to figure out. I've been at it for about two weeks off and on.

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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.
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.

How do I properly manage audio files with iTunes?

Hello Dear Readers,
I am going to start using iTunes exclusively for my music collection management. Previously, I had only used iTunes for managing content for my iPhone 4. Now, I am wanting to import all of my media (music) files into iTunes for general use and playback.
For example, I have over 3,000 music files, and I would like to know the best way to get them into iTunes. From a lynda.com training video about using iTunes, I learned that there is a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes", which is monitored by iTunes for new files to import into the iTunes library. However, I would like to know if this is the *best* way to do this. For example, can I just*move* my 3,000 music files into this 'Automatically Add' folder and then let iTunes do its thing?
Will iTunes *move*the files that it is able to manage OUT of this folder and into one of its managed folders, such that there would be no duplicate file left behind? Is it correct in saying that the files that are left in this folder that were not able to be handled by iTunes and must be handled differently before they can be imported into iTunes. Or is there just an all around different, and better, way to get these music files into iTunes? Thanks for your advice and opinions!
There is also the issue of what to do with the commercial CDs I have (less than 50). I would like to discard these and just maintain them on digital form, e.g., my 2 TB hard drive. However, I am getting varying opinions as to how to do this. I need 2 things: 1) to archive the CDs for retrieval later in case I need the songs that are on them, and 2) MP3 versions of the audio CD files for use on my flash drive which plays on my car audio system. These would also be the files that I manage in iTunes.
Some people have suggested using Exact Audio Copy to make a FLAC and a LAME MP3 copy of myCDs. Others have suggested keeping an ISO copy of the compact discs for reference archive. Personally, I am wondering if I should just import my commercial CDs directly into iTunes, and then pay Apple $25 annually to maintain copies of these, as announced by Steve Jobs at the WWDC that this cloud functionality was forthcoming.
I am in need of some informed, educated opinions and suggestions as to how I should proceed.
Then, there is also the naming convention of the files. When the files get ripped from CD, I can add the freedb information to them for the ID3 tagging. However, I need to know how to specify in what system that the file names are comprised. This is what I am thinking of as my folder and file name format, at this point.
For the naming scheme of the audio files, I am proposing the following:
For most music by 1 artist on a disc, I would do as follows:
Folder Name: AlbumArtist - Album Title (year)
File Names: Track number (from 1 on up, with NO leading zeros) Track Title
For compilations with various artists, I would use the following for the schema:
Folder Name: VariousArtists (album artist) - Album Title (year)
File Names: Track number (1 on up) Track Title - Track Artist.
Do these seem like reasonable naming schemes that would be good for using on all audio software and equipment, such as my iPhone, my car audio flash drive player, and in iTunes?
I know that this is a lot to ask, but I am just trying to learn how to do things correctly and most efficiently so that I don't have problems down the road with my iTunes library. I welcome input, discussion and of course, dissent! Thanks!

Backed up my ipod touch with itunes now all my audio books are in itunes but i cant put them back on my ipod. i have never used such a pathetic system as this. whats the point of buying books if you cant put them back on the ipod to listen to. help please

please help i have an ipod touch downloaded several audio books for it. backed up ipod and synced with itunes now the ipod has no audio books on it and they are in itunes but i can not get them back on to the ipod. apples systems are incredibly awkward. any other system allows for mp3's etc to be drag and drop not this long winded and what appears to be a complete waste of time. you buy things and once synced you loose it and cant put it back

Are audiobooks still configured to sync to your iPod Touch via the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes? To check, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tap along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your device.
Or if you want to manually drag and drop audiobooks onto your iPod, you'll have to enable the device for manual management. See here for more details.

No audio with video in itunes

Hi, no matter what I do, the audio won't play with the video when in itunes, regardless if it's a file I converted to m4v or if it's a video file I purchased and downloaded from the itunes music store like "alias" episodes OR if I'm just previewing streaming music videos from the itunes music store...no audio period. The purchased downloads that are synched to my ipod will play the audio with the video on the ipod and the mp3 songs play fine within itunes and the ipod, just the audio for the video doesn't seem to work at all. Any help here?

Found this info on the web, and it solved my problem:
http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/r10 04/44r04/44r04.asp&guid=
"Problem: You have the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime and you still don’t get audio from iTunes.
Solution: Open the QuickTime Player and go to the Edit menu to choose Preferences, then QuickTime Preferences. Click the resulting dialog box’s Audio tab, then select the Safe Mode (waveOut Only) checkbox. Click Apply, reboot your system and try playing media in iTunes again."

How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.
