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)
Hewlett-Packard Presario V5000 (ET828UA#ABA)
iTunes 7.1.1.5
CD Driver 2.0.6.1
CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.2
LowerFilters: PxHelp20 (2.0.0.0),
UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.6.1),

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.
E: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N, Rev KQ09
Drive is empty.
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.

Are you sure it's not your CD's what you uploaded to your phone?

  • 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:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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

  • Burned DVD stops or music skips at 100th chapter

    I am creating a slideshow with music in iDVD. When playing the burned dvd the music skips or the dvd stops at the 100th picture. Any fix for the problem? I noticed that iDVD automatically assigns each picture its own chapter so it could be the 100th chapter that causes the problem. If so, is there any way to have more than 1 picture per chapter?
    Thanks for your help!

    The 99 photos was because, as the original poster indicates, each photo is a chapter and the Video DVD standard (nothing to do with Apple, but the industry standard) is 99 chapters max. These days many players will play past 99 chapters, but many others, especially older ones, the strictly conform to the DVD standard balk when there are more than 99 chapters.
    So while iDVD will now allow slide shows past 99 photos, if you want your DVD to be compatible with the most set top players, you are better off limiting your slideshow to no more than 99 photos. If you want more, then you want to create your slideshow manually in iPhoto or iMovie and place your own chapter markers keeping the number of chapters under 100.

  • Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

    my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

    Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
    If in iTunes, try this:

  • IDVD music skips during slideshows

    hey guys
    I'm on leopard and iLife 09 (also iLife 07 on another mac but has same issue)
    I've read some articles that tell me the reason for music skipping on iDVD is it will only handle 99 chapters.
    Can someone advise if this problem would still occur if the slideshow was made using different software OR how to get around the music skipping issue.
    I am aware you can export a slideshow from iPhoto but the quality is not the same as in iDVD and iMovie simply takes far to long to create a slideshow.
    Thanks for your help!
    Sammy

    The same problem has been bugging me too. Seems 99 IS the limit. If you want each slide to show for say 3 seconds then you need a piece of music that last 297 seconds for those 99 images. If your music last say 300 secs (5 minutes) the I use GarageBand and start to fade it from say 290secs and split it at 297secs and delete the last bit. Then I add another track that last for the remainder, so if you have 150 images in total you need something that will last for 150 x 3 secs and fade again if necessary. I think the trick is to multiply 99 by the length of time you want each image to show and then import music pieces into GarageBand.
    You are using 5 minutes music for 150 images. That’s only 2 secs per image! Are you stuck with that time limit?
    In your case, with 150 images at 4 seconds each you’d need 10 minutes in total, composed of 99x4 secs (6mins 36secs) and another piece that lasts 3mins 24secs or thereabouts, or that you fade out after that time. Then when your pieces of music are ready, save them across to iTunes (share) and import from there. Or just play the same piece of music a second time. Not ideal, but it’s the only solution I’ve been able to come up with so far.

  • 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.

  • Will The Music Skip On the Creative Zen To

    Can some Answear my question plz: Will the music skip if im walking around with it in my pocket?, will it skip at all and how much force will it take to make it skip if it does?

    BoyDe,
    The speed at which a question on the forums gets answered can rely on several factors:
    ) Time of Day
    2) Day of Week
    3) How difficult the question
    4) How busy the other categories are
    5) What kind of question is it
    and many other things. A general rule of thumb is that it may take several hours or even a day for there to be a reply. The reply to your question was up in about an hour and in the FAQ that was linked is an in depth answer to your problem.
    The simple reply is, if you are just walking then no the music shouldn't skip. The FAQ goes into detail of what a "skip" is in the case of HDD based players. I am not sure if your read the FAQ or not, but you should as it is quite helpful.

  • Music skipping after moving to new hard drive

    I installed a second hard drive on my pc but now all of my music skips. Why?

    It's a windows setting you can get to from Windows Explorer.
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    Find AAC in the list, and tell it to use itunes.

  • IOS4.1 Music skipping

    Just updated to iOS 4.1 on my iPhone 4. I have a Pioneer AVHP4100DVD head unit with the iPod cable for playback. Prior to updating, I had no problems with sound quality, playback, etc. Now that I've updated to iOS 4.1, the music skips (almost as if paused), then plays again. I've tried unplugging the cable, resetting my iPhone, and practically everything else I could think of. Any ideas?

    Hello from germany,
    i have the same Problems.
    I have a JVC KD-R801 that worked with 3.13 with no problems.
    The model was release in April 2010.
    My Iphone is a 3GS and i upgraded to 4.01 and the radio start making strange things.Syncing to Playlist don`t function every time, Gliches in the Bluetooth stream and also over USB ..... totaly nerve me !
    Yesterday it erases my Phonecalls history .....
    JVC said to me to wait for an update maybe !! coming from them ..... hope so.
    They said i should try to install 4.1 but don`t know if it will be more hassle as
    in 4.01 .....
    I`m realy angry about that problems ....
    JVC sait "Works with iphone" and "Made for Ipod"
    The gliches i have, beside the other errors, are "micro" gliches ... very short
    but not ok ...... realy not.
    My Iphone wake up radio (realy cheap) don`t make any errors and gliches.
    It must be something in the communication over USB and Bluetooth.
    Apple fix this, cause it runs for 100% in 3.13
    Or also JVC .......
    Best
