Music breaks up while using other programs

I recently downloaded the latest update for itunes and started listening to my music like I always do but when I started using the internet (scrolling down a website to be precise) the music broke up and sounded more like static than music. It also happened when I enlarged the size of a blank "canvas" of a drawing program. Then after a while the coarse static sound stays, even if I restart the itunes program. It has never done this before and I was wondering if re-downloading and re-installing the latest itunes was a) possible and b) a plausible solution. And if not, what would be?
I was looking for the itunes support email for direct help. Couldn't find it, suspect there isn't one. Is there one?

There's some suggestions in this thread about about how this can be worked around.
I haven't tried it because (and I still can't quite believe it) after switching the player into Mini mode - Advanced>Switch to Mini player - it stopped happening. Even if I go back to full screen mode now it seems fine.
Weird. Hope somebody else finds the same thing. I haven't tried rebooting or anything yet, so it might come back. No more time to spend on it - I've got work to do!

The app store keeps popping up (with an app to download) while using other apps. It is getting incredibly annoying. I am currently using the QR reader app. How do I get it to stop?

you can try a soft reset, or u can try to turn it off and then back on. Or take it to the apple store and see what they say about it. Hope this helps

Playing Clips/Sequences in background, while using other application?

I am working for a reality TV show and we are trying to take notes in Microsoft Word while the editors sequences are playing.
Is there any way to change the preferences so that Final Cut will play a clip or a sequence while we are using another application, like Word.
I know that quicktimes will play while I use other applications but will Final Cut do the same thing?
Thanks for all your help!

The program is not so sophisticated as to track both sequence TC and clip TC.
If you need Clip TC, as Michael notes, just open them individually in Notetaker. Be sure to add other info Like Reel Name (number) on your own. The program doesn't seem to read the additional info fields that you add in FCP.
While not perfect, it does offer a slick way to create review notes for easy communication.
I understand one of the Adobe Premiere collaborative tools includes a note taking extension. I reportedly creates a file that can be imported by another person and will place markers on the timeline with the comments.
I suppose if someone were very capable with XML scripting, they could do the same thing with a text file containing TC markers and be able to import that into a project ....
cheers,

How do I turn music completely off while using maps

How do I turn the music off while using apps for directions. Every time I use maps to navigate somewhere I get music that comes on automatically anyone know how to turn this off?

Just disabling firewire at the system settings not physically shuts off power to the firewire port. And since you feel by yourself facing a hardware defect, I would recommend taking the computer to a repair center.
Maybe they are able (I'm absolutely not sure about, but sometimes hope dies at last to remove an internal cable and so shut down the firewire ports without replacing any expensive parts.

Music app crashes while using shared library

On my ipad 2 while using shared library every time I search the app crashes and most times when I try to play music on the music app via shared, only a handful of the artists show up and album art is all wrong. I tried it with two different ipad 2's thus it's itunes on my Mac Mini..
I've tried:
1. Reset ipad (didn't work)
2. Signed out of ipad music shared, shut app down, sign back in. Most times I'll get all my artists and album art back but when I try to search it crashes, then once I reopen the artists are back down to a handful as opposed to hundreds. Search again, crashes immediately.
3. I converted all music in my library to the newest ID tags (didn't work)
4. I deleted both library files, (didn't work)
5. I started over completely, deleted my library files and media, re imported, changed all ID tags to newest version (didn't work)
6. Both ipads and computer and itunes are fully up to date
7. I re synced both ipads by plugging them into the computer, deleted all music (didn't' work)
This has been going on a long time, even under itunes 10, I'm out of options at this point.
I have 8842 tracks at 66.76 gb.

Unfortunately, I gave up and didn't find a solution. However, it is, as of today, working properly.
Sorry, wish I had a good solution for you.

Running flash full screen while using other apps

I run a 3 monitor setup on Win7x64. I would like to watch shows, eg Hulu, while working on other stuff on the other monitors. Any time I switch focus to another program though it drops back down into the browser. Is there a way to keep it running full screen while working with other programs?

Hi, here is a thread where it was discussed and the person that answered should know.

You might take a look on the right hand side under "More like this" just to see what others have to say even tho there doesn't seem to be a solution to this.

Keeping Keynote Full Screen while Using Other Apps

Hello,
I searched around and wasn't able to find much of anything on this topic anywhere. I am looking to do Keynote presentations in full screen. While the presentation is in full screen I would like to use other applications on the display which I can see.
I activated the preference to allow other things like Expose control the screen, but when I switch applications it takes Keynote out of full screen mode. Anybody have any ideas as to how to keep it in full screen mode while in a different application? Thanks.

Depending on how you have your displays arranged, you might be able to use Dashboard on your presenter display while the presentation is running (you may need to use this technique to get that to work properly). However, as I understand it, applications do not come with the ability to float over Keynote by default, but must be explicitly written to do so. I therefore doubt that any off-the-shelf app will be useable directly in this way.

GPS Tracking program that continues to track while using other iPhone apps

Does anyone know of a GPS tracking app for the iPhone 3G that will continue to track while listening to music or answering calls? The few apps I've tried quit logging when you change to another app.

Thanks - hopefully Apple will address this soon. I'm not willing to hack/jailbreak my phone just to get this functionality.
One last dig:
This is the unfortunate reason that I've stayed away from Apple for so long. They make WOW stuff that is pretty and neat to use as long as you stay inside the "box" so to speak. I guess I'll have to take my old blackberry running with me - it can play music AND track your run with GPS. Who would want to do that?

Music cutting out while using airplay

I just configured my Airport Express as a client to an existing wireless network. I don't know for sure but the existing network is probably not being provided by an Airport router.
I was successful but when I try to play songs via iTunes to my stereo, the songs are constantly interrupted. It will play fine for a few seconds or ten seconds or sometimes 30 seconds, but then it will stop for a while and then start up again.
I've tried reconfiguring the Airport Express, enabling Interference Robustness and restarting the Airport Express using the admin software and by unplugging. Nothing is working yet.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!

i am reaching a breaking point. Things are going from bad to worse . . .
I moved my new AE into the same room where my other (main base) AE was, thinking that the issue may have been that the two were having a hard time "seeing" each other and thus were dropping connections. At first, this seemed to be an improvement; when playing songs through my remote (second) AE, the music was cutting out much less frequently. Instead of dropping the music every few seconds, it would only cut out about once a song. And it improved over time; by about the fifth song, it wasn't cutting out at all.
However, I then tried to play music through the stereo I have connected to my original (main base) AE, the problems started all over again. iTunes was totaly unable to establish a connection to the stereo on the main base AE. It would say "connecting to remote speakers", and when it was "done" connecting, nothing would happen. No music would play, and the status bar on the iTunes song would stay frozen and not move.
I'll note that at no time have I ever had significant problems playing music through my main base. We've had that main base for 6 months and been very happy with it's performance, except for not being able to get to cover the whole apartment with a reliable wireless signal (which is what I was hoping to remedy by buying a second one).
This also started affecting my internet connection! After having the two AEs in the same room for about a half hour, I suddenly could no longer get any web pages to load, and network speed in the OS X Activity Monitor dropped to below 10 KB/sec, even though I was trying to load several webpages at a time.
Thankfully, when I unplugged the second (non-main) AE, performance on my main base station returned to normal. I will continue to try and troubleshoot this, but the conclusion I am drawing at this point is that although the AEs work great individually, they don't work very well together. This is very disappointing, considering Apple touts how "easy" it is supposed to be to link these together.
I did read on another thread that sometimes the AE will just crap out and die over time. Perhaps my used ebay purchased AE is just shot.

Music stops playing while using safari

has anyone else had this problem? My music will periodically stop playing while surfing the web with safari. This usually happens right after I have zoomed in on the screen.

it happened to me also... think that the problem is somekind of the used system of the itouch s.o. so.. if you're downloading a non mobil supported website... or a highly rate website may stops the music in order to continue downloading.
so.. perhaps on an update may fix that safari and music performance.

HT4211 While using other app can I listen to youtube

Please help me how to use multitask while doing something to listing to music

Enter YouTube Music in the App Store search field for an app that permits listening to YouTube music in the background. Music Tube Free is one. Also Pandora, Jango, iTunes Radio, and Tune In Radio permit playing music in the background whole on another app.

So then - do most people use other programs to edit thier photos?

After hours of reading on this discussion forum - which is incredibly informative and useful - and others, it seem that a lot of people use Aperture for its management abilities (I know, DAM) and not as much for its editing abilities. (Perhaps its intended function?) Is this accurate? Is it intended to be a compliment to <insert you favoite photo editor title here> rather than a replacement?
It seems to be far too powerful an editing tool to simply use to structure my files - but send them out to an editing program when I want to edit.
Again, I am a newbie and am probably missing something, but as an example using the sharpen edge tool I cannot seem to apply much sharpening at all even maxing the sliders. In PS (I am not trying to cause I debate, it just happens to be the program I have been using to this point) you can easily sharpen, over sharpen and completely distort the image beyond useful with tiny adjustments in the parameters. I have about a half a dozen presets as baselines in unsharp mask (normal, reduce haze, portraits etc) that I start with and change slightly per photo. I wanted to create the same structure in Aperture, but it does not seem to have this ability - which I find strange because just about everything else I do in Aperture seems to have abilites way beyond my own and I find I am having difficulties with simple things, such as adjusting light levels.
Any thoughts?
As always, many thanks.

As has been noted by those wiser and better than I, "take the picture right, then you don't have to muck with it in the darkroom." There is, of course, a lot of truth in this but the digital image is another beast compared to film. I suspect that I handle about 90%+ of my images directly in Aperture. I have a number of plug ins (SilverFX, Vevezia, Photomatix HDR, and Noise Ninja) and I link to an external editor. Most of what needs correcting, improving, focusing, etc., can be done within Aperture particularly now that the plug ins are 64 bit. Still, I have a full copy of Photoshop (actually CS5) as there are things that can be done in PS that I don't know how to do any where else. (There are also hundreds of things that PS can do that I haven't learned!)
So the answer to your question: depends on how deep you like to get into the image. I liked the dark room in the old days (dating myself here) so I have found the amazing power of a program like PS to be irresistible. YMMV.

A few years back I was able to get Adobe to switch me to the Mac version of CS2 by paying the upgrade fee difference. Won't hurt to ask. There was a bit of song and dance routine (faxes and stuff to prove I had the Win version) but it worked out. Worth a try but recommend you learn Aperture and its available plug ins first.

I can't see the dashboard, edit, customize, etc. buttons on my own Tumblr blog. I can see them on other blogs and I can see them while using other browsers.

This problem started suddendly, it was fine until yesterday. I've tried changing my theme on Tumblr, unistalling all of my extensions, cleaning cache and even reinstalling Firefox again but nothing worked. I emailed the Tumblr staff and they told me that it's probably a Firefox bug.

How can I keep windows in front while using other apps?

I want to keep a Preview window in front of all windows while I work in photoshop, how can I do that? I know it is possible, because I saw an artist do it on youtube. He had his references opened up in Preview, while working photohsop, and the Preview window some how stays above the Photoshop window. I know I can just have them side by side by using photoshop in window mode, and shtinking it into a half sized window, but I have porblem rotating the canvas and it is just to small to work when it is like that. He mangaed to use phoshop in full window mode (fills the whole screen) and still have his preview window stay in front. I asked him but I got no reply. So I was hoping some here would know.

Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...
