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 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.

Please visit www.hp.com/in and select suport & drivers>drivers & softwares> type the the complete model of your PC such as dv6-6100 dv6-3100 etc... select your computer model (if listed), or select the CTO(such as dv6-6100 CTO) model(which works for whole series) now select the OS you are running. you have the list of drivers for your PC.

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...

How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

Are you talking about making a Book?
How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Is the Battery level is low?
The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
To fix it in Windows simply run
chkdsk drive: /R /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
Good luck!

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 Stutter when playing music in itunes

My music stutters when I scroll or do something in another application when I am playing music in itunes at the same time. They have updated itunes since it started but it didn't fix the problem, in fact I think they made it worse.

Sandy,
Go to this post and 'View All':
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ba4951
Read through the process I went through to find and correct my playback hang (actually it was a system-wide periodic freeze). Don't bother with the related links yet (or b's threadjacks for my attention). Just use it to spark some thoughts and to develop a mind-set that may lead you to your issue.
In the end, I feel I got lucky, rather than good, in finding my problem. Even though I made some quick assumptions, I was always ready to test and discard them just as quickly.
If you have really gone through everything on these Discussions, you are left with self-diagnosis of your system, or a step-wise reinstall, testing iTunes out along every step of the way (ouch).

X-Fi Elite Music Crashes when playing AOE 3 soooooo anoying, please h

!!!THE PROBLEM!!!
Sometimes the sound just sto
ps.
Other times, the sound stops, and my entire computer freezes.
Occasionally the sound is replaced with a constant beep that continues until I restart the computer or change the speaker settings to something different. (2/2. - 4/4. ... etc ( I have 7. surround sound capabilities))
Sound card is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music with the latest drivers.
Also, If I try to open an mp3 file after I close out of the game (even though the speakers are not working),
the music fle takes hella long to open... so long that I just hard shut-down because I am sick of waiting.
!!!HELPFUL INFO!!!
# Ok... After I change the speaker selection the beeping stops, but then the speakers do not produce any type of sound untill I restart.
# This only happens when I play AOE 3.
# The sound always works perfect after I restart.
# Crash times are anywhere between 2 min and 75 minutes when playing online and Campaign.
# the game is brand new game.
# NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH OR SMUDGE OR CRACK OR RIP OR... I think we get it...
!!!WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DONE!!!
*I reinstalled the game 3 times.
*I reinstalled Windows time. (fairly new Alienware system)
*I Installed the drivers for the sound card 4-5 times.
*I have all of the latest Microsoft updates.
*I scanned my computer using pc-cillin, and nothing found.
*I renamed Lesurly brows.
*I called Alienware. (they say call Microsoft)
*I called Microsoft. (did not help)
*Installed Version .9 or .09 or whatever. (the latest
version...)
*I have tried all levels of Sound hardware Acceleration
(from none to full)
*I have tried all speaker configs and modes. (ie: game;
recording; entertainment...)
!!!HARDWARE CONFIG!!!
$ SLI 7950 GT's by NVidia... (not a graphics issue...)
$ 2GB of Ram 800 MHz... (not a memory problem...)
$ Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66 GHz @ 2.93GHz)
(plenty o powa)
$ WinXP Pro (not a OS issue...)
$ All the Harddri've you could ever want...
$ Huge 24inch Wide LCD. (the game looks fine...)
$ 54 MBPS Wireless internet connection. (000 X faster that the "dial-up" requirement...)
!!!THE BOTTOM LINE!!!
^ My computer is more that good enough for this game, or any other game in the entire world... yet...
^ The game obviously works.
^ The soundcard obviously works.
?The Answer?

DVD skips when playing on standalone

I have a Dual 2.7 withthe Pioneer 109 Apple OEM drive. Typically I burn 4-7 dvd's a week. For the last week I have had problems with the disc skipping or hanging. It's very sporadic on where it occurs on the disc and doesn't neccesarily do it at the same place on each player I use. Other discs I've burned in months past using the same media are fine. I have replicated this with 3 different types of media. Anyone have similar problems?
FYI: I use a high end Sony on one tv and I also have a Oppo 971 upscaling player for my HT projector. i also have a third Sony dvd in the HT room which also does it as well. So I've ruled out the Player as the culprit.
I'm thinking it's the laser when burning. That error correction is preventing the error from showing up when I verify it in Toast, but that the laser is slightly off track or unfocused when burning causing the poradic issues when playing in a stand alone.
Any other suggestions or experiences.

This may or may not be the answer you seek, but I have found that Mac Burners are very very sensitive to Media.
By this I mean if there is even a hint of a fingerprint, a scratch, of any kind, or a smudge, almost anything other than a pristine piece of media, both when burning and playback can and will cause.
Skipping.
Pausing.
Color fading.
Errors on playback.
as well as several other issues that can carry over to and show up on your computer as well as stand alone players.

Audio CDs skip when played on iPod

when playing audio books on a 20gig iPod I get occasional skipping _ no actual noise but silent spots which break up the speaking _ this will usually happen once or twice per book & usually toward the end of one of the original CDs _ but with a new copy of the Harry Potter "Goblet of Fire" audio CD the skipping is happening on nearly every CD _ tried redoing the CD's & the skipping is happening in different sections _ any suggestions as to what causes the skipping ? _ any suggestions as to how to prevent it ?

It could be a couple of things. Are you running the very latest version of software for your iPod and the latest version of iTunes? You can update these at Apples home page. Also, it may not be a CD/iPod communication issue. It is a problem most likely with the format between the CD and iTunes. You can check this by playing it from iTunes through your home PC. If it still skips there then it has to do with the Book to iTunes. Are you disconnecting your iPod after you eject it in the PC's software? If you disconnect prior it may mess up files,
songs and books that are on the iPod.

7.5.2 Update causing skipping when playing via AirPlay

Since the iOS 4 iPad update, I have been streaming music from my iPad to my AirPort Express from Pandora. There have been no issues with this until I performed the 7.5.2 update to my AX. Now, I am experiencing pretty consistent pauses/skips when trying to listen to music.
I checked my AirPort Express logs, and the only items I'm seeing that seem to be happening pretty frequently seem to be:
- Dec 18 18:51:43 Severity:5 Rotated TKIP group key.
- Dec 18 18:44:31 Severity:4 AirTunes stream from 10.0.100.11 stopped.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Interesting. I just set up a test and things to working ok for me (no skipping). Here is the test:
AirPort Express 7.5.2
iPad 4.2.1
Pandora (latest and greatest off iTunes)
My iPad sits about 7 feet from my AirPort Express. I am stream Pandora music through it (with the "Higher Quality Audio" option enable). My Express is set up for WPA2 PSK, Auto Channel and 802.11N (with b.g compatibility). I am also using Bridge mode since I am behind a NAT firewall already.
I know one difference between our setups right off the bat is you are using NAT (well at least I am assuming you are). Can you see any other differences in our configs? I would like to try an reproduce the problem, gather a wireless sniffer and send it to Apple via ADC.

CDS NOW SKIP WHEN PLAYING. ITUNES CRASHES. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I'm about to go nuts! All of sudden my CD player skips and stutters when playing through ITUNES AND MEDIA PLAYER. I can SOMETIMES import songs, but then the entire system freezes up and crashes.

Amen! I have worked hard to resolve this issue. I tried EVERYTHING...until I tried the ONE THING that worked. I reinstalled XP. That's all it took. It all works better than ever.
