My itunes adds snippets of sounds when importing music

Ive had this bug for a while now where itunes adds about 2 seconds of what i think might be other songs or maybe just random sounds into random parts of the mp3 file. It doesnt do this on all songs just every now and again. Ive checked the files im importing and when i play them with a different program like quicktime or whatever, the songs are fine. Im using the setting where itunes copies all added music to its directory, in this case an external hdd. Ive checked the file in the itunes directory and they do have the snippet in them. so im assuming itunes messes up somehow when copying to its file directory or maybe my hdd is slowly getting corrupted, which i doubt as other files from the hdd are fine. Also i think this only happens when i add multiple songs at a time but im not 100% on that as it happens to maybe 1 in 100 songs so it might just not have happened to an individual import yet.
Has anyone ever had any similar problems where itunes added random  2 second snippets to the mp3 file?
thanks in advance,
Timo

we'd better check on the usual suspects with that one:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows

  • ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

    Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
    I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

    I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
    I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

  • Itunes Crashes when importing Music File or Folder on Windows 7 64-Bit with Itune 10.5 and update ios 5

    Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday

    You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.

  • I have no sound when playing music but ringtones and speak phone works!

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of a sudden I cannot hear any sound when playing music or watching tv etc via my phone but I can hear my ringtone and text etc and I can also hear calls if I place them on speakerphone!
    I have performed a hard reset and also plugged my phone into iTunes but this still hasn't solved the problem.
    Unfortunately my phone has a cracked screen....totally unrelated to the sound problem as everything was working fine after I dropped the phone, however, as I have been informed, this has now invalidated the warranty from apple, even though I am not asking them to fix the screen, just the speaker, therefor I am not entitled to a new phone from apple! Anyway.....if anyone out there can help me in anyway, or can suggest anything that I can try to fix this problem, please, please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance.

    My headphones work by the way.
    Also, when I try to increase, or decrease the volume when playing music or trying to listen to something....even my videos, the buttons on the side do not adjust the volume or attempt to adjust it. I have gone into settings and sound and made sure my phone is not on mute and made sure the setting is checked so that the buttons on the side control the volume! I just don't know what to do!

  • No sound when playing music iPhone 4s and not charging right on some chargers.

    No sound when Playing music on iPhone 4s and issues charging on some chargers. This below worked for me - Thanks.
    No sound only when playing music. 2013 11:05 PM.  My wife had the same issue with her iPhone 4.  The volume bar was grey inside the music app and the volume buttons on side of phone didn't work.  Cleaned out the charging port using rubbing achoal and a Q-Tip.

    Hi
    I have the same problem. iPhone 4S with newest update. No sound while playing music (grey volume buttons). No sound for alerts e.g. incoming SMS.
    Total reset does not help. Restore from iTunes Backup helps, but sound only available for some minutes (can play music direct form iPhone, without ear-phone)
    Issues is still open. All contact cleaned (ear-phone etc.)
    Please help.

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • No sound when playing music and video on the new iphone 3gs (32gb)

    I have a problem with no sound when playing music or watching video both on the ipod part of the phone and when watching youtube videos, all other sounds are working fine on the phone(eg Apps, phone calls/rings and system sounds. If i reset the phone everything apears to work fine again for the first minute or so but when i stop a video or tune for a second and try going back to it, the sound is gone again. All settings are fine. Anyone having the same problem or any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    You could try either a Backup Restore or a Clean Restore. I usually do a CR with MobileMe as the restore source. Afterwards I reload the music, videos and apps.
    It could be a sound playing bug like the Bluetooth bug that bites me now and then (audio stops and goes once in a while, audio gaps in the video if the video is paused, and videos recorded have the audio very quiet).

  • How to turn off tone that sounds when importing is done?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to stop iTunes from making the sound it does after I've imported a cd?
    I have Windows XP media center, and I went to the "Sounds and Audio Devices" folder in Control Panel, but it seems only Microsoft programs are listed there.
    Thanks!
    Dan

    According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline.  (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.)  It's a bit of a conundrum.  In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone  with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on.  While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list.  Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone.  I was then able to restore.  Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear).  Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone".  Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

  • Itunes crashes when importing music (v10.5.2.11, Win 7 (64))

    iTunes crashes whenever I try to import either a file or folder - regardless of the file format (e.g. WMA, MP3 etc.). 
    This is only a recent problem.  Is the only option to try to re-install iTunes? 
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • No sound when importing from a Sony HDR-HC7

    Hello all together,
    I bought a new Sony HDR-HC7, the camera is fantastic. There is only one thing perplexing me: When importing HD-Clips into iMovie HD 6.0.3 I cannot hear the sound that was recorded by the camera. When I play the clips, I can hear sound. What could this be?
    With my old Sony TVR 33 (no HDV) I don't have this problem.
    Did I forget any settings?
    Thanks for advices,
    Stefan

    Hi Stfan:
    I guess I would try the easy things first.
    Make certain that " Video Play Through Camera " is
    not enabled in imovie Preferences. That is
    because it sends all audio through the FireWire port
    and mutes it on the computer.
    ake certain your video is 16-bit audio (not 12-bit).
    Once you have imported (and saved) the video into
    imovie, close imovie. Then unplug all firewire
    devices (camera included).
    Relaunch imovie. Is the audio there now?
    Sue
    Hi Sue,
    thank you for your advice. As I use the German version I am not quite sure, if "Video Play Through Camera" is in the third tab of the iMovie-Prefs the fourth checkbox overarm? This one's unenabled. Audio is 16-bit.
    Audio was alwas there in the play-mode but not in the import-mode.

  • ITunes not displaying 'copying files' when importing songs

    When importing a large number of MP3 files, say an albums worth, iTunes refuses to display the 'copying files' progress bar at the top of the window. It is a process of trial and error clicking on the arrow to get the right progress bar to display, when and if I manage to get the appropriate progress bar up it will not stay for longer than a few milliseconds. Is this something I can fix or yet another sloppy bug in iTunes 7?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the group. I'm not sure why hitting the arrow next to the box isn't working as mine always works. I have the latest version and haven't had a problem yet.
    Not sure if this will help but here is a link you can check out:

    Maybe someone else will have a solution.

  • No sound when importing mpg file

    I have used several camcorders as sources for video clips. All of the clips can be imported to my Premiere Pro CS4. The problem I am having is that the mpg files from one of the cameras, when importing the clip, the video comes through fine, but the sound does not come through at all.

    Is the problem MPEG file using MPEG audio or Dolby audio format?
    Cheers

  • No sound when importing video CS3

    Hi Guys
    Here's my situations. I am a media technician in a school and have a PC running windows 7 and Premier Pro CS3 installed. We have just got some new Lenovo G700 laptops (Windows 8) and I have installed Premiere CS3 on these using the original instal disks.
    When I import a video on the laptops I am not getting any sound, when i drag the video onto the timeline there is no audio track. If i use the same video on my PC it works ok! I have had the settings side by side an the ONLY difference I Can see is under the info tab when clicking a video in the project is says 'VIDEO' on the laptops and on my PC it says 'MOVIE' other than that everything is the same!
    Any ideas?
    One other thng, the videos play using WMP on my PC with no problems, however on the laptops they freeze and only play the audio, so I was thinking maybe a codec issue? but I have never gone out my way to instal a codec on the PC it's just always worked

    Ryan,
    Welcome to the forum.
    A MOD will likely Move this post to the Premiere CS4 & Earlier sub-forum, but your link, and any e-mail subscriptions will follow.
    One of the main causes of no Audio, or truncated Audio, on Import is the failure of Audio Conforming not completeing 100%. This article goes into more detail, and offers tips: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3892177#3892177
    The Conforming of the Audio is for Premiere, so being able to PLAY the muxed file in WMP is not a good test, other than to insure that the file does contain an Audio Stream.
    Good luck, and please let us know if this is an Audio Conforming issue.

  • No sound when importing video

    I am importing video into iMovie using a Canon Elura 85. The DV port does not work on the camera, so I have a cable with 3 RCA plugs on the end that goes from the camera's AV port that connects to my Canopus. I plugged two of the RCA plugs into the Left and Right audio ports on the Canopus, and one RCA plug into the video port. I am able to see the video image show up in iMovie's import screen, but there is no sound. How can I solve this? Thanks.

    iMovie does not play sound on import. Most cameras that iMovie supports do not import in real time, so sound is not meaningful. It could be useful for those with tape based cameras, but these cameras usually have a speaker so you can hear it on the camera.
