Music has TINY SKIPS while playing on my mac
Anyone know why the music has these little "click" skips while playing? I'm playing on a mac pro with Yosemite and hard wired high speed 150 Mbs connection. It's like the music has these tiny fast interruptions in it when playing. It seems to have happened only recently. Perhaps this is spotify encouraging me to leave for Apple's new service?
Is app nap enabled? https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-Windows/App-Nap-and-OSX-10-10-3/m-p/1160650

AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play
AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play
I'm having the same problem, even more:
- Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
- Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
- A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
- Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple - it just works"...
At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends. -
Export QuickTimes freeze and skip while playing back
I’m new to Motion, and growing concerned. I’ve purchased and learned Motion for a specific job. I’ve built some very cool elements with many layers. I’ve grown accustom to the slow performance, skipping etc. while working on the project. That’s ok.
What concerns me is exporting. When exporting Draft or Best versions, most all the time the movies freeze or skip while playing back, either in QuickTime or Final Cut Pro
When exporting I select Export, as QuickTime Movie, using current project settings
I’m using Motion 3.02-HDV 1080-60i project, 10 seconds long
4x 2.5 Ghz G5
5 GB Ram
I would appreciate and advice or tricks to be able to export a decent version of what I’ve built.
Thanks!Andy, thanks for your help.
I have 30 gigs available on the hardrive. The file exports are usually less than a gig. I have a GeForce 6600 card.
When I select export setting from “current project settings” it uses the Animation codec and plays with freezes and skips. But with in that video that does play well, it plays very clean and clear.
When I change the export to 1080i60 at best quality, I’m guessing it uses the HDV codec? It does play back with out the skips and freezes. But it looks like **** with horizontal lines in titles stripes etc.
Is there a way to make the 1080i60 video playback clean?
Thanks! -
Airtunes - music cuts or skips during play
Just installed the upgrade to 7,32 (6) and my music skips when playing on remote speakers (perhaps on Mac too, but haven't tried that yet. Really random skips - some songs only, sometimes often, sometimes not.
Library is on LaCie external drive. Set-up worked fine with previous versions.
ThanksI also have this problem. It is infrequent, and solving it is inconsistent. sometimes simply restarting itunes is enough, sometimes a computer restart, router restart or force quitting itunes is required to stop the skipping.
It's making my wireless music listening experience less than enjoyable.
I am streaming my music to a airport express connected to an apple ipod hi-fi from a lacie firewire 400 7200rpm hard drive. through itunes obviously. and yes, i have set my buffer to large.
thank you for any suggestions you may have for me, ben -
Songs are skipping while playing songs
Ipod Nano 6th generation.Any Idea what would cause songs to sip while playing ? I mean like a vinyl record or a dirty CD.
If you ripped them from a CD onto your computer, the CD could have had scratches on it. Try playing one section of the song, and if the glitches happen at the same place in the music every time, the CD was your problem.

Hey all. For some reason when I play my MP3's through iTunes they seem to be skipping, like a scratched CD almost. All the songs are ones I bought through iTunes so I know it's not that. Any ideas?
Hello ultron16,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
You may want to delete the songs that are skipping and redownload them.
Best of luck,

Nano skipping problem solved? (songs skipping while playing)
Well, not "solved" per se, but there does seem to be some concensus on the cause of these skips...
True, the nano is solid-state storage, and will not skip due to the same root causes that hard drive models might skip.
HOWEVER, that does not mean that the nano does not skip due to other reasons.
People on this forum, as well as members of iLounge have reported skipping problems. Concensus is that it is the nano's incompatibility with LAME encoded MP3s (some say that it's only VBR, yet some say it is also with CBR tracks).
The symptoms are tracks that skip on the nano, but play perfectly fine in iTunes (or any other player for that matter). I've heard that the mini also has this problem, but I cannot confirm... I can confirm that it happens often on my nano...
I have a very large collection of LAME encoded MP3s, so re-encoding is not a reasonable option...
If you are experiencing these issues, please report them to Apple... We need a firmware fix for this...
Question: Does anyone know if Apple is already aware of this issue, and plans to fix it in the next firmware update?If it's skipping in iTunes and your iPod, then it is likely you have a bad file...
While there is probably a way of knowing what encoder was used to encode a file, I don't know that off hand...
I know my files are all LAME encoded because I ripped them using LAME... -

ITunes Match, Music App Crash (even while playing a song)
Ok,
I read a lot of posts about this. There doesn't seem to be one concerte answer. I also notice that I get prompted often for my iTunes Password. Not sure if that is to connect to iTunes Match or Itunes Apps updates.
Either way after Re-Opening the Music App on my Iphone 4 3-4 times and select a playlist (I created on PC) and start playing a song, my phone goes to the lockscreen as usual and blackens. So my songs are playing, then I decided to unlock my phone. Since the Music app was the last app open it still shows the last Song that was being played before it locked the screen. Then after 10-20 seconds of hagning there, the APP closes! The current song stops playing, and I have to repoen the Music App 3-4 times again.
REALLY ANNOYING!
Getting my playlists to sync correctly is a hassle too. I hate wanting to add a song to the playlist on the iDevice itself without updating iTunes Match with the changes I made. Does it push that change from my iPhone to my iPod only once I run Update iTunes Match?
I'm trying to make the most of this but it does have plenty of issues!yes i have the same problem and it has happened 4 times now .. It is ridiculous .. Putting right off Apple Devices .. seem to be getting like Microsoft ... Too Buggy.. How can your music just vanish ?

Torch 9800 Music player - Delete track while playing issue
Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can shed light on this issue: here's what i do
1. Open Music Player
2. start playing a track (in All Songs, shuffle mode)
3. If I wish to delete this track I then open the slider keyboard
4. Hit the [Del] key
5. Select [Yes] to delete the track
6. The track stops playing (obviously since it's deleted now)
7. the player then skips to the next track (as expected)
BUT....
8. The screen displays the incorrect song details for the track that is NOW playing (other random track in my collection) on screen until I hit stop and then play again to display the correct song details.
Anyone ANY ideas why this might be and whether it'll be fixed in any future updates... it's really frustrating
Thanks
StevenAlso, if you delete the track means available when playing another track - the name and picture of the current change to the name and image of the previous list, which should not be.

NOT HAPPY. I've Just upgraded to iTunes 11 on a MBP 15" 2009 model, OS 10.8.2 I use my computer all over the place with NO internet and cannot access the HUNDREDS of tracks I've purchased and downloaded and been playing for years. How can I access them WITHOUT having to download the all again, using up my internet for HOURS and gobbling up my BANDWIDTH again! Also, I am NOT INTERESTED in streaming my music, as most places I use my computer, I have very limited, or no internet. Not Happy!!!
PLEASE someone give me an easy low-cost answer to getting access to my music again.
Alternatively, is there a way to go back to the previous iTunes?
SteveIs the music actualy gone from your hard drive ?
If it is still there then under Preferences, Advanced Preferences is the iTunes Media folder location pointed in the right place? If not click on Change and repoint it to your files.
To Stop seeing all the icloud streaming versions again in Preferences, Store and uncheck the Show iTunes in the cloud purchases.
Hope this helps -
I am using Zen Touch 20 GB, I have more than 900 songs. When I am playing a list of songs, quite often I am facing a problem, that is the creative player skips the current song in between and plays the next song in the list. It is not only occurring to any particluar song/mp3. It is very random and I don't know how to resolve this problem. I am sure that the mp3 file is good & some times it plays fully.
Please help, Thanks in advance
Regards,
RagunathHello Catherina,
Thanks for your reply,
I purchased my player March 2005 in France, and I think so far there is no need to upgrade the
firmware.Usually, I have the play mode as Shuffe/Random. It skips the current track & plays the very
next track in the list.
What will be the impact on "Clean Up" operation?. Will it result in any data/track lost?.
I have very important data (about 6 GB) in data files segment & I don't want to loose any mp3 files.
Please suggest me, whether I can go ahead doing this.
NOTE: I am from Chennai(Madras) INDIA, and I don't have any Technical/Product support or service
centers here for Zen Touch. Please suggest me what to do?. -

QuickTime always has static noise while playing audio
Every time I open an mp3 (or any audio file) in QuickTime, it plays a lot of static noise in the background. These audio files work fine in other applications (iTunes, VLC, etc) so i know the problem lies with QuickTime. I have tried re-installing it, but the same problem keeps occurring. Does anyone else have this problem and know what's wrong? I'm using QuickTime 10.3, on Mavericks 10.9.5
