Music skips, occasionally jumps backward

After the last update to 7.04 if I am listening to music on my iPhone 5 my music skips after putting my pass code in keypad to unlock the iPhone. Sometimes is pauses for 1 to 2 seconds continues playing and sometimes it jumps back a few seconds in the song and continues playing. I find this quite annoying. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes!

It's a storage manager issue, not an audio problem

On iOS 7.0.2 everytime I unlock my phone while my music is playing, it skips. Forward, backward, and by small and large amounts of time.

Hi cowboyincognito,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't have the option to play music by genre on your iPhone, try this step to find the Genre option:
Browse your music library.
You can browse your music by playlist, artist, or other category. For other browse options, tap More. Tap any song to play it.
To rearrange the tabs in the Music app, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I'm looking for a music player that can skip forward and backwards a few seconds?

Why does music skip forward in Score Editor ?

H- I've got the following problem: I played my master keyboard onto one track in logic Studio. Ithen inserted markers at the places needing to be edited. Then I set locators for a 2-bar passage which I wanted to delete. That went fine, but when I listened to the piece later, at the point of the cut, the playhead dashed forward and the music went faster, then resumed the former speed after the cut.
In the Arrange window, the track shows a miniscule gap where the cut was made.
What did I do wrong, or what do I still need to change, to be able to hear a smooth music passage without any hop, skips and jumps ?
Is there a better procedure - there are several other places where I'd like to make cuts, since I improvised at the keyboard, and am now polishing the final piece.
Thanks for any information leading to a smooth stretch of music !!

In that case try this:
1 - Switch off the metronome/click
2 - Play from the beginning of your music ( assume Space Bar is the key commmand you use to Stop/Go the sequencer)
3 - Count the bars yourself as you feel them... listening along with your music. ie 1 2 3 4 .. feel the pulse according to how you play it.
4 - When you come to the end of beat 4 ( ie the end of one of your bars) press STOP just as you get to beat one of the next bar.
5 - Make your CUT at this point. - Do the same with the other half of your composition so that it also starts exactly on beat one. You now have two regions. Which are cut in the same place ready for joining. And it should make musical sense now
PS ... I dont know what your skills are with music theory but Logic is great for getting that together.. an awareness of beats/bars .. what beat of the bar you are on
Also - explore the Piano Roll.. and get used to see how notes fall in relation to the grid. Practise play WITH the Logic metronome as well as doing your own feeling thing with rubato etc playing to your own pulse
good luck

HELP. new version of itunes made my music skip

I down loaded itunes 7 and now all my music skips/jumps. Any help PLEASE.
Thanks

let's first try working through the suggestions from the following document:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly

Jump Backwards Problem...

I have 5 Tracks each with 4 chapter markers
When you press Start, the whole things goes with storys and shows up like a seamless film. The start button is linked to the story of the first track end at the end it jumps to the story of the next track via script with a jump command.
So far...so fine it works. When i skip forward it proceeds throug the storys.
The problem is, when i want to jump backwards. That only applys within the story, so when i am in the 3th story and press backwards it goes only to the begin of the story but not to the story before (2nd).
somebody got an idea how to solve this? can it be done with storys? or is there some other way to skip backwards?

this is standard. like when you skip forward on an audio CD, you go to the next track. When you skip back, you go to the beginning of the same track. This is because the start of the track you are on is the first marker seen when shuttling backwards. Since you know scripting, you just need to make one for jumping back 2 spots.

Music skips on Windows 8.1 64-bit with iTunes 12.1

Okay, this is probably going to sound strange, but its true.....
When I am listening to music in iTunes 12.1 and I have Google Chrome opened, the music skips. I can open any other application and not have that problem, just only when Chrome is opened. Needless to say, I switched to Firefox and now the music does not skip. Has anyone else experienced this?
My PC specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
AMD A6-3620 (4 CPUs) ~ 2.2GHz
NVidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti (4GB memory) Dedicated Graphics Card
8GB RAM
Sound Blaster Audigy Fx Dedicated Sound Card
1920x1080 screen resolution

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

PLEASE HELP - MORE & MORE MUSIC SKIPPING!

I started with a small problem a year ago and now more and more music skips - I update as offered so I have the lastest version all the time. Can you help?

Hi iwahdn,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It can be frustrating when files go missing. You may want to follow the steps in this article to verify that the music files are still on your computer:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

Music skips before each and every slide

Hi there. I have been burning a number of slideshows with iDVD and putting playlists from iTunes to them. No matter which DVD player I play them on at each transition (the split second before) the music skips a beat or two. I'm sure this is similar to the problem discussed yesterday in a different post, but that post talked about the skip happening once at the 8 min 58 sec. mark. This is happening throughout. These are long slideshows - so that's a different issue though. Also, to help the discussion go farther - faster - a few other notes:
The DVD plays the WORST on my computer.
I am using Apple and Verbatim DVD's.
I have tried all different music from iTunes.
The skipping also happens on the menu page.
I am NOT an iDVD expert. These 10 or dvd's are my first. I am dragging an album into iDVD and editing it there.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong to be getting this continual skip?

Yes, today I am using Verbatim DVD-R with up to 16x speed.
iDVD may be recording "too fast." Burning the disk image will give you control over that.
How do I create a Disk image?
Sorry...
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Music Skips

Ok gang, here we go.
When playing purchased music or imported music, the music skips initially and then skips some without cpu load, or vigorously with cpu load (such as starting control panel, firefox, or any other program).
I've done the following (all as of 5/21/07):
- updated bios, and all windows updates
- updated directx
- updated sound drivers (conexant)
- updated quicktime
- changed to WaveOut and 16bit in Quicktime Prefs
- changed to full hardware acceleration
- defragged
- deloused (adaware, windows defender, etc)
- disk cleanup
There are 1.3GB of imported songs, 800MB of purchased music, and 2.8GB of podcasts.
I've run network and cd/dvd diagnostics which returned the following results...
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4220(0x0000107c). It happened on drive E: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N on CDR media at speed 24X.
Any other suggestions? If its feasible to revert to Itunes 6.x, then could someone please give detailed instructions to do so.
Thanks for your help.

How Can Viewers skip forward and backward between timelines!?

You can skip forward and backward through chapters that are on the same timeline but I can't skip backward to a timeline that came before the one I'm on. I thought this was an easy question someone must know the answer to this. I just need to check what I'm saying.
So I have 4 timelines
I put chapter markers at the end of each timeline so that people could skip forward to the next timeline if they wanted to. If there was no chapter marker at the end of the timeline then the timeline would have to be played to completion before going to the next. You would not be able to skip forward at all. The problem I'm having is that you cannot go backward to the timeline that came before.
So if I have a chapter at the end viewers are able to skip forward to the next timeline but they can't skip back.
Alright so Menu Remote settings do not work for Blu-ray discs either so you cannot use that setting to go backward from one timeline to the previous.
Is there anywhere to set that the first chapter of one timeline can somehow link back to the last chapter in a previous timeline or is it just impossible to go backward?
Isn't there anyone who knows how to skip backward from one timeline to the previous? I cannot find a action for this in encore.

Site skipping and jumping in other browsers

My site skips and jumps around when you scroll in IE and other browsers. The site looks great in safari..is there any way to fix that?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my post in this thread: Re: Publish site / FTP issues arggg.
OT

I've never had problems with iTunes, but I recently moved to a SSD and now music skips.

Howdy all. I've recently replaced my Analog HDD with a Solid State drive, (Samsung 840 250GB) which is so much faster, but only problem now is when listening to iTunes, I notice serious skipping. I have reinstalled drivers for chipset, audio, optimized the BIOS, yet still experience skips while under processor load, and also when system is only playing audio. I had no problems with this prior to the SSD and all was solid. I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail. I'm running a Dell Latitude E6500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 4GB DDR2 667. The SSD is a Samsung MZ-7TD250. All else on the machine is rock solid. Any advice on this? iTunes version is 11.0.4.4.

I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

Music skips when im running itunes 11 in background

music skips when im running itunes 11 in background

After the 11.1.1 upgrade iTunes skips songs after a certain period of time. The skipping moment is different for a bunch of songs, but it's staying the same for each of those songs (one song always skips at 0:34, another one always at 0:05, etc.). When I manually set the "marker" right behind that moment the songs play through to the end. All the files are ok. When I drag them to the desktop and play them in preview or VLC the problem does not occur! There is also no exclamation mark or anything...
Any ideas anbody? I'm really dazed...

Music skips during slideshow

Hi,
When I play a slideshow from within iphoto8 the music skips every 10-15 seconds. If I play the same selection in itunes it does not skip. I've tried this with many songs in the off chance that it was the one song but it does it with every song I tried. Apple just replaced my power supply thinking it was defective but it did not cure the problem. I have plenty of space on my hard drive if that matters. Any one else have this problem?

>> Did you tried an other USB stick?<< - Yes, several
>>Perhapst you can shorten the fade in / out of the pictures a little bit.<< - I will try that next!
>>small buffer in the Vizio << I need it to work for all large flat screen TV's because it is going to be marketed as a big screen slideshow
The thing is that if I just play the soundtrack on the TV, it works fine with no skipping. I am wondering if my images might be too large. They are all 300 DPI JPG's and about 5,000 pixels at about 10 megabytes, and there are 276 of them for playing the video for about 40 minutes.
I could convert the mp3 to mp4a and add that format as the soundtrack.
Thanks for all of your input,
Allen
