Mini skipping like a bad CD.....

Can any help me out....some songs on my mini are skipping like bad CD's would! I listen to the songs on iTunes, and they sound fine, but get messed up on the iPod. Not all songs, just some.
Thanks!

I have the same problem! I have tried all of the R's and even reloaded the songs. The songs work on iTunes, and will even work on the iPod for a little while, and then start skipping. Someone help please!

ITunes Radio song skipping like bad CD!

I recently started using the new iTunes radio service and the first couple days song played fine but starting last friday (Oct 4th 2013) Some songs started skipping like when you tried playing a scratched CD.
Very intermitted, random skipping and pausing.
The crazy thing is the next song (either by selecting or waiting until the bad song finishes) WORKS fine!... Then a song or two later skips again.
I am using a MacBook proRetina with the lastest OS versiona and most updated ver of iTunes.

My guess is that it's just the internet connection dropping the stream every now and then. But hard to say for sure without actually hearing it and also knowing how you're connected to the internet.

Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

Having a problem with the sound for purchased movies is skipping like a scratched CD

Every time I got to play a movie of Television show the sound keeps skipping like a scratched CD. I've tried redownloading but that doesn't seem to work. I dont know what else to do.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Mini sounds like a panel van backing up

This morning I turned on my mini, did a few things then turned it off. I realized I forgot to do something so I turned it back on.
There was no start-up chime so I was looking at the mini with a puzzled look on my face. Then it went "BEEP BEEP BEEP" like a truck backing up. The power light on the front flashing with each beep. I was a little mystified and then it did it again! I quickly got my camera out to record a potential third beeping but then the mini chimed like normal and started up. I did nothing for it to start up properly.
What the heck is this about?

I found an answer. My mini was built to order (no at-home upgrades) so I'll be calling Apple.
The number of beeps indicates a problem encountered by the Mac's Power On Self-Test (POST):
• 1 beep = No RAM installed/detected
• 2 beeps = Incompatible RAM type installed
• 3 beeps = No RAM banks passed memory testing
• 4 beeps = No good boot images in the boot ROM
• 5 beeps = Bad ROM boot block or processor is not usable

My iPod seems to skip like 3 songs at a time, even thou it is on Shuffle.

Hi,
My iPod has been working fine till last week where all of a sudden when I play any playlist or play all of the songs, it seems to skip like 3 songs, even when it is already on shuffle, then when I click to go and play them sometimes they play sometimes they don't. Is it becuase of a bad file (song) i've put onto my ipod?
Please help.

have you disconnected your iPod witout really ejecting it first? (actually, I do it all the time...), but is seems that this causes the ipod songs to become corrupted and not to play. scan your ipod to see what happens. try this.

Purchased songs that skip, like a scratched CD

I have purchased atleast 2 songs that skip, like a CD that is scratched. Really bad quality. Does iTunes music store credit those songs? If yes, how do I go about it?

Assuming that it's just specific tracks, not every track you purchase from the iTMS, contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. Most likely they'll credit your account and instruct you to try again in a couple of weeks after they've had a change to try and get new copies of the tracks.

IPod 5 skips like a CD player

Recently my iPod touch 5 has been skipping like a CD player does when you hit a good bump while driving. I hit a bump in the road, my iPod skips. I have model no. ME643LL/A running ios 7.1.2 (11D257). Anybody have any ideas what is causing the issue or how to fix it?

Does it do this with no headphones connected?
If so and only bums cause the skipping that indicates a poor/intermittent electrical contact problem.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If it only happens wit headphones then that mean either defective headphones or a bad headphone jack

Songs skipping like scratched cd in iTunes 10.6 why and what is the fix

Hi, I use my MacBook pro to play backing tracks for my live show. I am working in Greece in the outdoors at night. Since the beginning of the summer iTunes has been skipping like mad during gigs Not Good. I don't remember when I upgraded my iTunes but don't recall having the problem last year when I started using the MacBook. I have searched the net and have found many a kindred soul suffering skipping songs.
What gives?
What I have tried:
1- I have disabled the sudden movenmt sensor thinking it might be a Bass Response issue. However, still does it.
2- bought a DJ rack to elevate the computer thinking it might be a heat issue. Nope.
3- got rid of all start up items, closed airport, netshred, etc.
4- changed the setting on Perian from Dolby stereo to stereo, and then I uninstalled it. Nope
5- I use the apogee duet live and I get skips. Tried it without the duet and it's worse.
What I am running-
MacBook Pro
Lion X 10.7.4
Processor- 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory- 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
1TB SATA HD
I hope someone can help. I spent a lot of money for my MacBook and don't want to go back to the PC.
Thanks

Hi, Clinton,
Now I think that I have officially tried everything short of taking out the HD and replacing it..
I have used the removable drive and still got the problem.. However, I noticed that the skipping only happens on my Backing Tracks and the same ones, which then told me that the tracks became corrupted. So I re-encoded 2 of the tracks using Garageband and Others I just replaced with new versions..
It worked great for 2 gigs and I was chuffed to bits.. However, I needed the third gig to make it a go and then BLAMMO one of the re-encoded songs skips... My 4th gig I get a new addition to the skipping...
Something is wrong and it is doing my head in.. Do you have any other suggestions aside from going back to my Cheapie Windows Notebook that never skipped?

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

Songs skipping like a scratched CD

A few songs on my iPod nano are skipping like a scratched CD would skip: always in the same place, making that annoying stuttering sound. They work fine in iTunes, so I figured removing that particular playlist from my iPod, syncing, then re-adding the playlist and syncing once again would fix it by making sure I had the file from my computer on my iPod.
Since that didn't work, I have no idea what to do. Any ideas? Thank you.

Might want to post this over [here|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154] as you clearly stated it plays fine on the computer...

Why is itunes skipping like a CD since Downloading Version 12

I have never had this problem with any prior release of itunes. I downloaded the new 12 version yesterday 10/20/14 and immediately had issues with all music skipping like a scratched CD. This includes music from my library as well as itunes Radio stations (All but NPR for some reason??). I checked my background programs, CPU usage, etc and there is nothing out of the ordinary or excessive hampering performance. Has anyone else had this issue? I have seen this question asked several times and no valid answers posted to date. Please help!
Windows 7 / iTunes 12.0.1.26

Why are tracks skipping like a cd in the latest version of iTunes?

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10.7.0.21. Now when I play my music, songs skip, like a cd. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and it didn't help. Nothing has changed except the new version of iTunes. Any help with this?

I'm having the exact same problem. Never had this problem with prior versions.

Songs skipping like scratched cd on iTunes and MacBook pro

Posted this on iTunes and no response. I would really appreciate a reply from Apple as I not only paid loads for my MacBook, but crowed like mad how much better the Mac would be than a PC for doing music live. I am seriously disappointed and a bit embarrassed.
