Music skips when playback through computer

Ever since I installed itunes 5.0, the songs skip when i play the pusic through my computer. I tried playing it using Realplayer and it does the same thing. Anyone else have this problem?

If other applications are skipping, I suspect that it's a configuration issue.
Have you tried everything in this knowledge base article:
iTunes for Windows: Songs and other audio don't sound right
If you want me to help you look for drivers, I need to know the manufacturer / model of your computer (or motherboard if it's custom built). For example, my computer is a Dell Latitude C840. What's yours?

  • 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...

  • Ipod says no music but when connected to computer shows music

    ipod says no music, but when hooked to mac shows music and playlists

    In the Mac iTunes, you may be looking at the iTunes library, click the iPod iCon in the device pane, and look at the summary page, it will tell you what is shown in the iPod.
    The Capacity  section will report Audio, and Other (which in your case may contain your music) due to filesystem coruuption.
    Have a nice day!

  • Music skips when I unlock my phone?

    I just recently got an iPhone 5s, and today was the first time i listened to music on it. Everytime I unlocked my phone while listening, the music skipped and went back a couple of seconds, sometimes as much as 20 seconds. Can I fix this?

    Should not happen (doesn't for me).
    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    You're going to need to find a way to rip these songs to unprotected audio files.

  • Music skips when the display off power setting kicks in

    I have a Satellite S55T-B5152, running Windows 8 (until 10 comes out). I've noticed a very odd and irritating problem - when playing my local music via VLC Media Player (just mp3s from the hard drive), I notice that the audio will start to skip after a few minutes.  I timed how long it took to start and it will happen after 10 minutes of no activity when plugged in, and after 2 minutes of no activity when on battery, each and every time.  I investigated my power settings and it turns out this *exactly* the amount of time when my display is set to turn off.  When I alter  the time for the display to turn off, the time elapsed until the audio skips will follow it exactly.    I tested this with another mp3 player (Foobar) as well and got the same results.  I can't test this with video as my display won't turn off if I'm playing video (either in the player or via the internet).   What's also kind of interesting is that if I close my lid, which turns off the display, it won't cause the audio to skip - it will ONLY happen when the time to turn off the display has elapsed.  So if my time to turn off display is 2 minutes, I can close my lid and the audio plays fine, but after exactly 2 minutes, the audio will start skipping. Anyone have any thoughts on this?  It's very annoying - I basically can't play music unless I set the display to never turn off, which I'd prefer not to do for power saving and longevity reasons.   Help would be much appreciated.   

    Mount the Disk Image on the Desktop.  Open Disk Utility and select the dmg file in the left hand pane:
    Next insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button at the top. In the next window select the burn speed you want.  I use 2x.
    Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Music Skips when playing an album in iPhoto

    FROM A PREVIOUS POSTED THAT WENT UNANSWERED: I am using iPhoto 08 to do some slideshows...for a while now, the music keeps skipping! And this is getting on my nerve really...can anybody help me out?
    I don't think it's the RAM (Just upgraded to 2GIG DDRAM) as it does it with small slideshow as well.
    My iPhoto is uptodated to the last version.
    I have tried using the Utility Disc Repair and deleting the com.iphoto.plist file or something like that...and it still keeps skipping.
    I just bought Leopard and ILIFE 08 and this is when the skipping began. PLEASE help me work this out. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How much free space do you have on your HD?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Music skips when running slideshow in iPhot0 8

    I created a slideshow in Iphoto 8 and when I play it any music I select from Itunes (burned from a CD and not purchased on Itunes) skips about every 10 seconds. I've tried several songs and they all do the same thing. When I play the same songs on Itunes they do not skip. I have also tried running other slideshows and the problem occurs in them as well.
    Apple just replaced my power supply thinking that it was defective and overloaded while running a slideshow with music and it did not resolve the problem. I have 4gb of ram and a large HD which is only half utilized. Can anyone offer a solution?
    thanks for your help!

    Let's try the long shot fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps. It's fixed other issues that were seemingly unrelated to a preference file.

  • Music skips when using airplay with iphone4 to Apple TV

    Songs will skip and pause, really annoying, could it my router???? If so how do I get airplay to work flawlessly!!!!!!!!

    Mine started doing that once I updated iphone4 to ios6 and whatever 2 updates my Apple TV said it needed to do. Worst mistake ever bc YouTube is pain through web on phone. The only thing I figured was to keep phone close to wifi router.
    I think it has to do with their software as I read people complaining about connecting to certain wifi.
    My battery drains 100% faster on ios 6 than running on 5.1.1 with my iPhone/iPad.
    Hopefully they will update soon. If I did not own 2 iPhones, New iPad, and Apple TV I would would switch to android. Apple doesn't care about their customers anymore. All they want is more stores to sell more. In the next 5 years I see a big decline in the forecast.  these are the first "new" devices since jobs passed and they are sucking it up with this software..... I am so ****** off right now.

  • Music skips when surfing in Safari

    Whenever I listen to music on iTunes in the background and I press either "Show the previous page" or "Show the next page" in Safari, the song skips for a microsecond. This just started the other day. No update or installs made for it to start either. Does this happen to someone else?
    iTunes 10.4
    Safari 5.1
    OS X 10.6.8

    Ok, now everything works fine again. I have no idea what made it start and what I did to make it stop doing what it did, but now I can surf and listen to iTunes without any skipping.
    Haven't installed or uninstalled anything lately either.

  • Music skips when I click the Center button while playing

    I don't know if you have had the same problem but when I am listening to a song and I click the center button to get to let's say the 'rating' screen the song will skip a little bit.
    I hope a firmware update is coming soon to fix this annoyance.
    I have a 4GB black iPod Nano.

    have you tried doing a reset? I've had weird things happen to the buttons on my ipod (not a nano) a couple times over the past 6 months. a reset solves the problem. takes just few moments...

  • Why distortion when output through computer out but not audio interface out?

    Equipment:
    Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 digital audio interface
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Mini with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Software:
    OS 10.8.2
    Mainstage 2.2.2 32 bit
    I'm running a mic into my digital audio interface, which connects via Firewire to my computer.  The mic input is mapped to an audio channel strip.  When I attempt to run sound out using the stereo out on my computer, it works okay for about 10 seconds, but then starts progressively becoming more distorted.  At first, I thought it might be a bit rate issue, so I dropped it down very low.  This corrected it momentarily, but, again, after about 10 seconds, the distortion came back.  When I change the output to one of the audio outs on my digital audio interface though, it works fine.  However, I don't have the Y cable I'd need to take 2 of the mono audio outs on that device and merge them into a stereo out that I could plug into my computer speakers (that's all I've got right now), so I'm stuck with mono out.  Do you know why I'm getting this distortion on my computer's line out?  I don't have audio distortion problems if I'm watching Hulu or anything, and my Saffire drivers appear to be up-to-date and Focusrite says the device is supposed to be compatible with Mountain Lion.  Help is much appreciated!

  • Music skipping when a webpage is loading up or when I open a new tab

    This has been happeing for about 3 weeks. Never had this problem before.
    So when I open a new webpage it'll skips, it's gets stuck for about 2 seconds. Just really annoying.
    Don't know how to fix this. Don't know if it's to do with the lastest Safari or iTunes update.
    Any help would be great. Thanks
    P.S. Also I can't copy an image into iTunes. It just goes blank so I have to drag it. When I do that the picture is always stuck on the cursor and the only way to get rid of it is to go back on the page the picture originally came from.

  • Music burned to CD skips when played

    When I burned my playlist to a CD, the music skips when replayed in my car.  Any suggestions?

    Make sure you are using CD-R blanks, not CD-RW, since the latter often have problems in normal CD players.
    Also use a nice low burn speed, such as 2x.  This selection can be made on the dialog that comes up when you request the Burn.
