Left speaker drops out randomly in iTunes 7

First problem I have had with iTunes.
After installing v7 my left speaker randomly drops out. Stopping/starting the song again or going to a new song clears it up... but it randomly happens over and over.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas? I know I can choose to have 5
upcoming songs listed, but that interferes with the
songs I drag over because the 5 randomly selected
songs get played before whatever I've dragged to the
playlist.
You can always drag the songs you've chose ahead of the 5 randomly chosen ones. I use Party Shuffle a lot. Part of the time, I let iTunes select randomly, but as I feel a yen to hear a particular song or group of songs, I highlight them, control- click and select Play Next in Party Shuffle. And sometimes, I just want to rearrange the list. Just highlight and drag up or down.

Airport drops out randomly

Hello..
Am trying to get to the bottom of why my airport drops out at random times roughly once every hour. I then just need to select my router again and it reconnects.
This isn't a massive dilemma unless i'm downloading a large file - can't leave it over night to download.
Is more of a gripe than a complaint - is just annoying when it happens.
Any ideas?

I have a 2 week old MacBook and am experiencing the exact same problem. I can make it happen more frequently by downloading a large file (220mb) from the 'net. Still have not been able to retrieve that file. If anyone knows what the **** is going on-please let me know -> [email protected]
I may try adjusting (or fixing) the transmission channel of the router as I have several other wireless networks in the immediate vicinity. But the fact that I can make it drop by trying to pull down a large file speaks to other problems.
One thing - in my widgets I have the iStat window running that displays numerous operating data. It is interesting the temperature of the Airport Card - according to the window- is running 142 - 151 degrees, much much warmer than all the other components WHEN I try to download the big file. ANd the conneciton was dropped when the temp exceeded 151 degrees.
As I type this the temperature has dropped to 130 degrees.
Is anyone else running the iStat widget and seeing the same thing.

My audio drops out randomly, hers is occasionally ...

For the past year I have frequently used Skype on my Android phone (Nexus 5) to talk to my fiancee on her Windows 8.1 laptop. We do so from our respective homes, so we're both on WiFi to a solid Internet connection (DSL in my case, cable Internet in hers). I'm using the latest Android Skype client (5.0.0.55107) and she's using the latest Windows 8.1 Skype client (6.21.0.104). Ever since the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update, my audio keeps dropping on her end for no apparent reason.
This happens at random but frequent intervals and for short durations (ca. 30 seconds per episode). It is absolutely maddening. Even though she hasn't changed anything on her Windows 8.1 laptop, and I've reinstalled Skype on my Nexus 5, my audio drops out some of the time during every single call. This happens very often during a call. It's to the point that I can't even open my mouth without expecting that my audio will drop out in the middle of what I'm saying, so that I end up having to repeat myself. If I'm really frustrated, I'll just type what I was going to say.
On the first few calls after my Nexus 5 received the Lollipop update, her audio would also sometimes drop out. We had to hang up and reestablish the call for her audio to come back on my end. Since then, we haven't had that particular problem, but sometimes her voice is garbled - as if I'm only hearing every other syllable - even though she's speaking directly at the microphone. Both systems (phone and laptop) are up to date, latest drivers, latest Skype, etc.
Given that she hasn't changed anything at all on her end, it's rather clear that the latest Skype for Android has a problem. TL;DR: I appear to be "muted" to other caller at random, even though I'm not muting myself, and her voice is occasionally garbled. It happens over and over again during a call, without warning.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, although my audio is no longer dropping out, we have been unable to use Skype for the last couple of days.
Last night, I could neither receive nor make Skype calls using my phone. If she called, it would only ring on my desktop PC. If I called her, it never rang on her end, and would either ring once or not at all (i.e. the sound effect I normally hear when calling didn't play) and would simply "fail" for no apparent reason.
Skype on my laptop doesn't work well, because there is almost always a problem with my audio being replaced with a "white noise" type sound on her end at random intervals and durations.
So, we had to use Google Hangouts video chat last night. It doesn't work that well either; frequently, there is an absolutely terrible audio feedback/echo problem.
I hope Skype can be made to work again on my phone. I've given up hope of it ever working 100% on my laptop, but I'd rather use it on my phone anyway, as it's far more portable.

Sustain pedal drops out randomly

During playback on a piano track the sustained note drops out in a few parts of the song. I have checked the sustain curve and there is no drop in it, what could be the problem? Any settings I need to be aware of?

Add me to the list of infuriated fanboys. This is exactly the same problem that AirTunes had and I've made dozens of attempts over the past five years to resolve this issue.
I was was so excited when I discovered that I could use AirPlay, and send the music directly from my iPhone. Having already had such a good experience with watching movies, I thought the days of anger and frustration over what should be a simple fix were over... But alas, we are forced to continue to suffer with this problem.
What I cannot understand, is how a 90 minute movie with 5 channel surround sound can play almost flawlessly, but I can't listen to a song with out having it drop out with random interruptions.
My MacBook Pro, iPhone, Airport Extreme, and AppleTV are all within a eight foot radius of each other, and all within direct line of sight. Absolutely should not be a problem.
Really Steve, you need to get this fixed.

IPhone 5 left speaker broken, out of warranty but only 7 months old. Any advice?

My iPhone 5 is 7 months old and my left speaker had just broke so I cannot listen to people on the phone nor listen to music. The iPhone is out of warranty, any solutions?

No.
One is a speaker, one is a mic. There are not 2 speakers at all.

Audio Drops Out Randomly

I'm having a problem where audio randomly drops out during playback of videos in the viewer. I'll be watching a video clip, and then out of nowhere the audio will just stop. Sometimes if I click stop and play again, the audio returns. Sometimes the audio never comes back until I restart the program even if I change video clips. I never have this problem when viewing sequences though. It only happens when I'm previewing clips before adding them to my sequence so when it gets really bad I end up adding all the potential video clips to the sequence before trimming and arranging them just so I can hear the sound.
This consistently happens to me on my Macbook Pro and my Windows 8 PC both running the most up-to-date version of Premiere Pro CS6. All of the video content I'm working with is in AVCHD format. The Macbook is a 2008 pre-unibody model with OS 10.8, 4 GB RAM, a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor, and an NVidia 128 MB video card. The PC is running Windows 8 with 16 GB RAM, a 2 GB video card, and an Intel I7 processor with 3.4 GHz.

In the Premiere Pro help file it states:
Conforming audio
Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the sequence sample rate. This processing assures maximum editing performance and audio quality. Premiere Pro conforms certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the sequence sample rate. If conforming is required, it is done when a file is imported into a project for the first time. Conforming takes some time and disk space. A progress bar appears at the lower right of the Premiere Pro window when conforming begins. Premiere Pro saves conformed audio in CFA audio preview files. You can determine where to save these audio preview files by specifying a Scratch Disk location for Audio Previews in the Project Settings dialog box.
You can work with audio files, even applying effects to them, before they are fully conformed. However, you can preview only the parts of the files that have been conformed. You cannot hear unconformed sections on playback.
These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:

It doesn't hurt to look at the Prmiere Pro help files once in a while to learn various processes, etc.

No sound from left speaker headphone out

Suddenly no sound coming from left speaker through headphone output only. Records in stereo plays in stereo but no sound on left. Tried all the usual suspects ....no luck. Any suggestions

Nowhere near enough information to go on, really. If this is a switched socket and the speaker works when it's not connected, then there's either a socket fault or a headphone fault. Try it with another pair of headphones and see if it still happens. If it doesn't, you have faulty headphones. If it does, then you have some sort of a wiring or socket fault.

Audio drops out randomly in FCP5

Hello,
I'm running FCP 5.0.4 on a G5 OSX 10.3.9 and a AJA io LA with current firmware v1.1 and driver v2.1.
When playing a sequence, audio will be fine. Going from AJA through mixer, to speakers and decks. Then the audio will cut ot completely, but video will continue to play. The meters in FCP show the audio is there, but nothing is getting to the mixer, and therefore nothing is getting onto tape, or coming out of my speakers. This problem occurs in every project we've worked with, and doesn't happen at the same point in the sequence. Any ideas? I'm not sure what other info might be useful, so please request more if you have any ideas. Thank you for your time.

Hi all -- I've experienced this problem on a number of projects, one tonight prompted me to check the forum. I used one of the work-arounds and want to report on it, in case it works for someone else or someone with the FCP development team is reading.
My timeline would drop the audio at a repeatable point each time. If I nested the sequence in another sequence, the audio would play but would have a nasty discontinuity right at the frame where the audio drops out in the original sequence.
I used the transparent video slug work-around and it worked (create a slug, set its transparency to zero and place it over the spot where the audio drops out). This occured twice in my timeline. Both times I had used a certain video clip. I had to stretch the slug to exactly match the duration of the offending video clip in order to keep the audio from dropping out.
This sounds like a bug that should be repeatable and fixed. If anyone with FCP development team wants my project, I would be glad to send it to them on a DVD for investigation. I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 dual 2.7GHz with an internal SATA drive, so it probably isn't a machine speed issue. (I tried the re-render trick and that didn't work and if I remove the slug or change its duration to anything less than the duration of the offending video clip, the audio drops out again.)

Shared Library keeps dropping out - maybe since iTunes 10.2 but not sure...

Have had a solid as a rock original fully updated Apple TV for years - Mac mini in the garage with Drobo full of my movies and music. Everything streaming fine. Now I wasn't really taking notice when exactly it happened but 'think' iTunes 10.2 onwards may be the culprit - the 'Shared Movies' and 'Shared Music' entries disappear from the menus. A reboot of the Apple TV bring them back for a bit but a daily reboot is pretty much always necessary.
A 2nd gen Apple TV upstairs never has any issues, but I feel that home sharing is probably more resiliant than the older Shared Library technique.
Thought it might be the fact that I was still running a PowerPC Mac mini and that a newer iTunes might just get on with such a machine quite as well nowadays, so bought a new Core2 Duo mac mini to do the streaming but the situation continues.
Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing or has any ideas on a fix. No other network bits have changed in the 2 year period so all a bit odd.

This is driving me crazy as well. Except I have the opposite situation. I also don't know which iTunes version update it was, but for the past two months I've been struggling to get my shared libraries to stream to either my Gen1 or Gen2 AppleTV. Right now, only the Gen1 is working. I cannot get the Gen2 to stream my iMAC library.
All the features of the ATV Gen2 other than streaming from my iMAC work fine.
I set the speaker setting to multiple speakers, I've reset and rentered home sharing data, I run an Airport extreme (WP2), iMac for library with the latest iTunes software, updated all AppleTV settings. It's frustrating because it worked fine for about a year...recent software updates seemed to have botched the working configuration.
I also have seen the anomaly that the title "Sharing Devices" disappears right after I hit "done" on the home share set up in the left hand side iTunes title bar on my iMAC.
If I open iTunes preferences and open the AppleTV tab, I see the AppleTV Gen1, but not the Gen2.
When I set the speaker to multiple devices iTunes pop up window appears to connect to the Gen2 but I don't get a shared library when I go check.
After reading a few related threads there seems to be the common element of some sort of network exclusion problem between cross generational ATV setups.
argghhhh!!!

Left speaker is crackly only in itunes

Whenever I play anything in Itunes, only my right speaker gives clear sound. In any other video or music player, they both work fine. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Check this thread out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12373462#12373462
I'm trying to get a resolution from anyone, to confirm if this is fixable using the method in that thread.

Speaker drop down menu in itunes is not there.

I have airport express and set up airtunes, but itunes does not have a drop down menu to pick which speakers to play through. There seems to be no support docs on this. The airtunes setup page makes it sound like, hey, no problem, just choose the speakers from the drop down menu in the bottom right of itunes. But it just ain't there, and there is no advice on how to make it work. The airtunes instructions are very lame. It works great for the Internet, and all the software is up to date. I've rebooted, restarted itunes, and airport express. No go. They made it sound so great when I bought airport express.

Ok, got link by pasting
To stream music from your computer to an AirPort Express, or to stream videos and music from your computer to Apple TV, click the icon in the bottom right corner of the iTunes application (verify that you have iTunes 10.2 or later)."
But , my iTunes, 10.5, has no such icon.

T60 Wireless drops out randomly

Hi,
We have several Lenovo T60 Thinkpads in our company. Every now and then the wireless disconnects and users are limited to work locally. As we have all our documents on a server that is very annoying to our users.
As far as I could investigate the problem there is no specific reason linking to when the connection get lost.
The only indicator is that the little green wireless symbol next to the bluetooth symbol is not activate any more.
If I check in the hardware device manager the wireless is on. Switiching it to off and again to on does not work. I also deactiviate that Windows might turn the power of to save energy.
The only solution thats works to bring back the wireless device to run so far is to restart the computer.
We have a Draytek vigor Router but as other users with different laptops dont face the same problem i would limit it to the T60 series.
Anyone facing the same problem?Any suggestions?

have you tried moving the hub as far from the pc as possible in case there is interference from the pc/power supply.
have you tried a new filter and if possible a different router - even borrowed just to try it. it is not impossible that there is a problem with the hub but need to try other things first

Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

Left speaker on MacBook Pro is static when using FaceTime?

When I either receive or place a FaceTime call on my MacBook Pro, the left speaker cuts out audio and produces high static. The right speaker is fine. The receiving end can also hear the static feedback, but their two speakers work fine. I have all my iOS devices setup to receive and place FaceTime calls (iPhone 5s, iPad, and MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2011). If I place or receive the FaceTime calls on my iPhone or iPad, there is no problem.
I've tested the speakers, youtube, iTunes audio, streaming websites, netflix, etc... and all works fine on the MacBook Pro. Just FaceTime. I also went into system preferences and the speaker setup is correct (audio in and out - internal speakers).
I've also restarted, reinstalled Yosemite...still FaceTime left speaker problem.
I appreciate any troubleshooting advice and/or if others have experienced this problem.
Thanks!

Take it in for replacement. In time, the annoyance will become intolerable.
Ciao.
