Music track skipping and playing silence on iPhone
Some music tracks play sections of silence, others are skipping randomly like a scratched record. This happens when playing on the built-in speakers or on headphones. Tracks affected can be either CD imports or iTunes purchases.
I have the latest iTunes update, I have iOS4, I have re-synched, restored the phone multiple times, checked my hard drive... What can be the cause of this? I am prepared to do whatever it takes to solve the problem but I have run out of ideas. The Genii Apple Store have no idea what's causing it.
iPhone is proving not to be viable as a music player. I now have to carry my old iPod in addition to my iPhone if I want music.
anyone? please ??
MP3 is a lossy compression - the more you do it the more your music tracks will degrade. Re-encoding the songs which have already been encoded will gradually reduce the quality (much the same as photocopying a photocopy). If you really need to re-encode something it's best to take it from the source, i.e. rip from CD again.
Obviously this would be a bit time consuming for all your tracks, but I think if you really had to do this with your entire music collection every time iTunes is upgraded there must be something seriously wrong with iTunes.
If you have track problems there's probably something in your computer software which is conflicting with the processes going on in iTunes. In my case it appears to be my antivirus. Do a bit of detective work and try switching a few things off to narrow it down, but you shouldn't have to go through a laborious process of re-encoding which will eventually degrade the quality of your music.

When I first attached a cable from iphone6 to hdmi on tv, I was able to read kindle on tv. After watching movies and playing Pandora from iphone to tv through the cable, I can no longer read kindle through it. What settings do I need to change?
Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.

Songs playing silence on iPhone 4 despite full restore and playing fine in iTunes
I'm playing songs that play perfectly fine in iTunes, so the files are not corrupt. Some files were iTunes purchases (so cannot be converted), others imported from cds. These songs play fine at the start but then around halfway just play silence, while the counter keeps moving. If I move the counter back a bit it'll play the song to the exact point it silences. So it's how the file appears on its system. Deleting and reloading the file doesn't solve it.
This is with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.
Any advice that isn't repeating the above tried steps would be very appreciated!MP3 is a lossy compression - the more you do it the more your music tracks will degrade.

Iphone Music player skips and stutters with MP3s
With the upgrade to iOS 5 (and 5.0.1) on my iPhone 3GS (32GB) I began to notice skips and stutters on numerous MP3s about 10 to 30 seconds into the song. I don't remember having any problems prior to iOS5 upgrade.
The skips and stutters are somewhat reproducible in that, if I hear the skip or stutter, if I go back to the beginning of the song and play the song again, the skip or stutter will happen in approximately the same spot and will be of approximately the same nature (a repeated phrase or a jump or a distortion) but it isn't exactly the same.
Most of my songs are 256kbps VBR MP3s ripped either by iTunes from my own CDs or purchased from Amazon.
The facts (1) that the skip/stutter/or distortion is not exactly the same each time (2) the skips and stutters seem localized to the first 10 to 30 seconds of the song, then they play fine afterward, (3) that I don't have problems playing these songs under iTunes on my MacBook pro, and (4) it happens both with iTunes ripped MP3s and Amazon MP3s, would seem to be some form of OS problem rather than coding error. My guess would be some form of buffering issue or OS scheduling issue.
Has anyone else noticed these problems?I experienced the same problem with my Iphone 5 skipping and not playing the music in my library correctly. I called apple and they gave me a solution that worked so far.
The problem in my case was created by restoring the new phone from icloud. Apparently, if you have a lot of music or data, the music files don't completely download.
Of course, make sure your music is backed up before starting
Solution: connect iphone to itunes / select the music tab / uncheck sync music altogether / hit apply or sync (this should remove all music files from your phone) / when completed, re-check the sync entire music library or select your custom playlists-songs you want on your phone / then click apply or sync to put back all music on phone.
This should solve your problems -
Slideshow Music tracks won't play
I've tried various iTunes tracks and the perinstalled Aperture themes like Ken Burns, holioday mobile and cuts from the Sample music folder. The tracks won't play in the slide show proper or in the music pane. And it dsoesn't matter if the tracks are added as the main or secondary tracks.
Ive rebuilt and repaired the library, deleted the Aperture plist file from ~Library>Appleication Support>Aperture and removed the presets folder. I've also done a Disk Utility permissions rebuild, Aperture permissions rebuild, Aperture Database rebuild, etc.
What I discovered last night is that Aperture will crash whenever I select Aperture>Presets>Slideshow. Selecting the other presets is fine and the appropriate dialogs will present themselves. When the Slideshow preset is selected, a minature ghost image of the dialog appears for about 2 seconds and then the app crashes.
Here's the first part of the crash log. Any help will be gratly appreciated because I'm trying to put together a slide show for my niece's wedding!!

I was sent the slideshow as part of an .rcproject file. They had tried to create a DVD but had been unsuccessful, so just sent me the project from which I could view the slideshow complete with soundtrack.
To find out how it should have been done I asked here about the easiest method in iLife to create a DVD from a slideshow and was told iDVD, but when I added the movie files back in as an intro the slideshow soundtrack disappeared and I couldn't find out where to or how to get it back. -
I download audiobooks to Overdrive console, then all parts are transfered to iphone 4s with IOS 7.1. Files can be found and played on phone only with spotlight. This is a difficult procedure for my wife. Help me to show and play audiobooks downloaded from library using Overdrive. Tried Sync and beboot several timnes.
Thanks in advanceI used it once for audiobooks with a phone that had iOS 6, and the audiobook was transferred into the music app.
I think the audiobook in question was in the WMA format, though, and was converted to MP3 in iTunes and then transferred to my phone, now that I think about it a bit more.
There is a program/app for the computer that can play liason between phone and computer, rather than just using the app on the iPhone. That could be contributing to the issue here.

Can music be streamed and played on several Apple TVs simultaneously?
Hi:
I would like to stream music and play it simultaneously on several Apple TVs throughout my house. Possible?Thank you for your response. Perhaps I didn't explain my question correctly. This is what I would like to do. Using the remote control app, I would like to turn on all of my Apple TVs at the same time and play the same music through all of them at the same time. In other words, with one click stream music to every Apple TV simultenaously.

A few albums and songs are in my iPhone 4S but don't appear in my music app, to play them, I must search for it using search iPhone
This seems like a very innocent post, but in digging more on the problem I've also seen this (some music recopies with every sync) with 9.1.1 level code. Apple Software Update said my system was fine, and iTunes itself also said it was up to date. However the reported code level is 9.1.1.11 rather than 9.1.1.12. After I manually downloaded and installed the most current .12 version, on 2 different machines btw, I noticed that the library needed to be updated yet again. Let me tell you that on a 1TB library this takes a long long time.
After another re-copy cycle, and did some more sync tests and this time I'm not getting the re-copy to happen, so the problem appears to be cleared up.
Again, issues like this are magnified significantly on systems with very large library. -
This is driving me crazy. The player resets mid song, whenever it's connected or disconnected to any device (i.e. car, desktop, dock) and proceeds to begin playing my entire music library in alphabetical order. That 1st song is getting pretty annoying. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there any fix? I haven't found any settings or preferences for this so I'm a bit stumped and very frustrated.
Yes, I'm having that same problem. I had the same problem in iOS 6, but could get around it by starting the song I wanted before connecting the phone - annoying to have to do, but at least it worked. In iOS 7, it appeared to be fixed, but since updating to 7.02 that no longer works. In fact, not only does it play the first song (yes, it's getting VERY annoying), but when I then choose the song I want, the first song it STILL displayed on my car radio.
To make it worse, the Music app insists on keeping Repeat All turned ON. If I disable it, the next time I connect there's that first song and Repeat All turned on again.
So frustrated that I just don't listen to music on my phone anymore in the car. I should also mention that displaying the wrong song info has never happened before 7.02, but whether or not that was the cause I don't know. -
