My solution for iTunes skipping

I noticed that iTunes doesn't skip immediately after boot up and when first logging in, but that if I start iTunes after I've been doing something else on my PC, that it sometimes does. I then discovered that if I logged off and then logged back in again, that this sometimes solved the problem of skipping. I concluded that it must be some kind of memory problem. I have a utility on my PC called Tweak-XP and this has an option to optimise the RAM - 'to reorganise the physical RAM and release as much RAM as possible'. I have discovered that if I close all applications down, run this option and then launch iTunes, then the skipping problem goes away. It works for me. I can only assume that there must still be other bits of residual programs left in the RAM and it's these which cause a conflict with iTunes. The clipboard also gets flushed out and emptied in the optimisation, so maybe it could also be this being full of residual stuff that causes the problems. I'm using iTunes 7.1. I presume that by launching iTunes as the first application after any flushing of RAM or the clipboard, that it must then 'hold on' to certain areas of memory for itself, and not let other application access those same areas of memory. Can anyone from Apple confirm this?
Hence, my suggestion is to force your PC to either clear the clipboard and/or RAM of any residual programs that are still there. You therefore need a utility to do this, or try logging off and then back on again and launch iTunes as the first application.

It sounds to me like the iTunes problem is managing RAM that is swapped to disk. I have 1GB of memory and I never get skipping problems - I wonder if those experiencing these have 512MB or less RAM in their system.
I am a bit surprised to hear there are still memory-management programs out there when most systems have plentiful memory. I haven't used something like that since Windows 3.1

Hi, chau.satish.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are receiving error 11556 when attempting to connect to the iTunes Store. Here are the steps for this specific error that I would suggest going through.
"Error 11556"
This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
The most common example of this is trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.
For more information, see the steps from iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store.
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, make sure that the iTunes Store is not disabled in Parental controls.
Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions

This is all perfectly normal. Microsoft added sequences in
SQL Server 2012, finally, i might add and changed the way identity keys are generated. Have a look here for
some explanation.
If you want to have the old behaviour, you can:
use trace flag 272 - this will cause a log record to be generated for each generated identity value. The performance of identity generation may be impacted by turning on this trace flag.
use a sequence generator with the NO CACHE setting (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878091.aspx)

A solution for iTunes install problems

I upgraded to the latest ver of iTunes and immediately had ALL the problems posted all over the 'net.
The following is what worked for me.
BACKUP!!! Set a Restore Point. Back up your REGISTRY. It is critical that you back it up beforehand and use caution while cleaning it. Please do this in case everything goes T. U.
Remove all references to iTunes, iPod and Quick Time. There are literally thousands and you must get rid of all of them.
Find, download, install a copy of jv16 Power Tools.
Then:
1. BACKUP! Set Restore Point! Back up your Registry! Did I mention backing up?
1a. Be very careful cleaning out the Registry. Take your time. Go slowly. Make sure that what you delete is only iTunes-related. Check twice before deleting. Take. Your. Time.
1b. The Registry is your PCs mind; do not scramble it. You will be sad.
2. Using jv16s Software Manager, uninstall iTunes, iPod and Quick Time.
3. Using jv16s Registry Finder, one at a time, search for and delete ALL references to iPod, iTunes, Quick Time and Apple Computer (BE CAREFUL; it will give you references to various 'applets" and "appletalk"; do NOT delete those. Only Apple Computer stuff.)
4. Using Microsofts Search function, search for all remaining references to iTunes, iPod, Apple Computer (leave applets alone) and most importantly-Quick Time.
5. When you are certain that everything that says Apple Computer, Apple, iPod, iTunes and Quick Time exists no more on your PC, Reboot.
6. Go to www.old-software.com and download an old copy of iTunes. The one that finally worked for me was iTunes v 6.0.5
7. Install an old version of iTunes. DO NOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF iTUNES! Thats what caused the problems in the first place.
8. Reboot.
Even though you previously "uninstalled" iTunes, probably using the Add Remove Programs application in Control Panel, there remains behind thousands of pieces, parts and references to iTunes and Quick Time, in the Registry, TEMP files, Documents and Settings (Application Data and Local Settings), in Windows/system32 and a hundred other places. You gotta get rid of it all.
Quick Time seems to be the main culprit, but in the end I had to get rid of all traces of all of the Apple applications before I could install again and get it to work.
It took me 3 days to figure out this procedure but once I did, it took only an hour to do it.
I've seen a couple other procedures recently posted here that look good. If you are uncomfortable with going into the Registry, try one of those others first.
And fer cryin' out loud, Apple. Yank the latest version of iTunes off your site. I did a Google search for "iTunes installation problems" and came up with 700,000 hits. Do ya think you might have a problem?
Windows XP Try testing your upgrades before releasing them!

Im trying your method right now, when im finished ill let you know how it worked out. I agree with your comment on apple needing to pull the latest version and get a version that actually works.

One solution for 'iTunes has stopped working' message

This worked in my case for iTunes 10.5 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 running 32-bit Vista. Symptoms started after I had to re-install it. Suddenly, whenever I tried to dl anything from the store, the dl would hit 100%, then I'd get the error message and DEP would then shut down the program. Upon re-starting, the dl wouldn't be in my apps list. (However, the actual dl WAS in my iTunes folder -- it's just that iTunes couldn't 'see' it.)
I followed all all -- and I mean ALL -- the Apple guides over the course of 2 days with no success, even after numerous re-installs. Also tried every obsure suggestion I came across in the forums here -- and there were a lot!
What finally worked for me were the suggestions at this link:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/87249-unable-install-latest-version-program-vi sta.html
Following the suggestions there, I discovered uninstalled 'debris' residing in the App Data\Local and App Data\Roaming folders, specifically two Apple folders with content. I manually deleted these. These locations aren't mentioned in the Apple guide to manually uninstalling your iTunes. (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923)
I also discovered debris throughout the registry which I removed manually with regedit. (Make backups of your registry before you go rummaging around in there! The usual warnings apply...)
I also found two Quicktime files residing in the main Windows directory. (Ver 10.5 no longer installs Quicktime and I had un-installed my previous versions) I don't think these made a difference but 'off with their heads' anyway. (^-~)
BTW, all of this occurs after I used Revo Uninstaller in moderate mode. So even it didn't catch all the leftover debris. (I'm not brave enough to try it on a more aggressive setting...)
Thought I pass this on in hopes it saves someone some grief....

iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142. After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
I have decided to do nothing for now. Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it. I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.
How do we get some help from apple?
Anyone have any answers??? APPLE HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found a possible solution for iTunes constantly reopening

My iTunes kept reopening every time I closed it - like 20-30 times in a row, with me quitting, force quitting, etc., even as my force quit window was up. I would force quit the application but it's logo wouldn't disappear. Searching around on these forums I poked around a bit and figured out that when I hid my RAC (Red Alarm Clock widget, which works with itunes, though isn't constantly playing), I could quit without the icon popping right back up. So if you're having this problem you might try hiding (you don't have to delete it, just move it from the main dashboard) any widgets that work with iTunes.

Solution for Stuttering & Skipping movies in iTunes

Solution:
Don't use iTunes. It's been broken for a while now.
USE QuckTime Player instead. It works fine.

Yeah ,this only worked temporarily. I don't know what's going on with my router and my AppleTV but it's proving impossible to reliably sync to the AppleTV when both the AppleTV and my iBook (the syncing computer) are connected to my router wirelessly. Sometimes, fiddling with the router fixes it, sometimes rebooting the AppleTV fixes it, but invariably, the time comes when I can ping and see the AppleTV from my desktop (connected to the router via ethernet) and not from the iBook (connected wirelessly)

A solution for the skipping audio playback in iTunes

I had the same horrible skipping problem that a lot of other users have while playing back songs in iTunes. Here's what I did to correct it. You need to get itunes ver 6.0.5. My problem started when I upgraded to ver 7 and every version thereafter. First, backup your iTunes library of purchased songs. Get rid of all traces of iTunes ver 7 installation off your hard drive. Install iTunes ver 6.0.5 - then import your iTunes music (I found I had to also delete the two small library files that were created by the later versions of iTunes to be able to import and create the library for ver 6.0.5). After creating the library, all my purchased iTunes songs then appeared in iTunes. The first time I clicked on a song to play it a pop-up window appeared asking to authorize the song on this machine(my PC). I used the same ID and password that I always had used to purchase the iTunes originally. Then everything was great again. It took me a long time to figure out that an earlier version (pre ver 7) was the fix. By the way, prior to doing all the above, I had just re-installed WinXP on a blank hard drive. Hope this works for you - if it does don't ever click yes when the pop-up shows up in iTunes saying that a newer version is available.

I didn't mean to give me an answer for the security questions i mean that i didn't remember the answers and i don't have a rescue email to send in it , i'm just ask for sloution to reset my security questions got it?

Possible Workaround for iTunes skipping / crackling

Right, following the recent number of complaints regarding iTunes 7, I've done some work on the problem and have found a possible solution.
The new UI seems to take far more CPU power and RAM than it's predecessor, so here's a fix that may help on some systems. Please note that you MUST be running Windows XP for this to work:
1) When you first load iTunes, press Ctrl + Alt + Del,
2) Choose the tab labeled "Processes", and find iTunes.exe in the list displayed
3) Right click on this, and choose "Set Priority > Above Normal"
Close Task Manager, and hope that this works
I have tried this on two systems, and it seems to work. Please post your success / failure stories
Windows XP Pro

hey wsup i came across this forum and i must say its a start. I tested it on my videos and i noticed less lag and choppiness in the videos than before yet there are still some.

So for now the videos are ok, but i dont wanna divert so much memory to itunes. Soo thnx for the solution. Better than what anone else has come up with lol ight get back to me if u find anymore solutions thnx

Recommended NAS solution for iTunes Server

I would like to get a NAS drive solution so I can have Itunes running without a PC/MAC running. What is the recommended vendor for NAS product that works well with macs
Once the new apple TV is out I would like the apple TV to stream from the NAS without having a computer on
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

I've been looking at the QNAP TS219P, which may be overkill for you. I've had issues streaming HD content (720 or 1080p) over wireless, less so with wired ethernet, but I'm still paranoid that the NAS is the slowest link sometimes.
If you check out smallnetbuilder.com you can see they compare different NAS boxes based upon their read/write speeds, you can even plot performance versus price. You need to make sure whatever NAS you get not only will support the read speeds of the video you plan on streaming (bitrate) but also whatever protocol Apple TV will use. Most QNAP's support iTunes servers, AFP (Apple's network protocol) and DLNA (a standard protocol for media servers). This is just what I've picked up in my research to purchase my own NAS box, although I wasn't considering Apple TV compatibility. I could be wrong, but if I had to guess, I think if you get a NAS with decent read/write/throughput (enough to at least match 720p and 1080p bitrates) and AFP/iTunes/DLNA support, you will be safe.

A solution for Itunes error: Disc burner or software not found

This solution, which I found on another forum, worked for me.
IT APPEARS THAT WHEN GEARAspiWDM GETS INSTALLED IT DOES NOT CREATE A "MULTI-STRING VALUE", IT CREATES A "STRING VALUE", WHICH DOES NO GOOD. THE UPPERFILTERS VALUE MUST BE A MULTI STRING VALUE, NOT A "STRING VALUE".
1. Download the latest gear driver at:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
2. Once that is installed you have to DELETE the UPPERFILTERS entry in your system registry, AND CREATE A NEW UPPERFILTERS VALUE at:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 (of course you knew once you get there just click on "favorites" in your system registry and add it your favorites).
YOU WILL BE DELETING THE UPPER VALUE: DONT WORRY YOU WILL BE CREATING A NEW ONE. ________________________________________________________
To Start the Registry Editor
Click on Start > Run, type Regedit and press OK
! WARNING! !
Be very careful while you are running the registry editor.
You can easily render your machine unable to boot if you play with settings you aren't familiar with!
You may want to immediately back up your Registry before doing any editing.
GO HERE IN THE SYSTEM REGISTRY:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318
FIND THE UPPER FILTER VALUE AND DELETE IT!
1. WHILE IN HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 using the system registry editor: EDIT > NEW > MULTI STRING VALUE. IT MUST BE A "Multi String Value".
2. NAME IT UpperFilters.
3. Once it's created and named, right click on it and select "Modify".
4. Enter this into the box that will pop up: GEARAspiWDM AS SOON AS YOU TYPE THE GEARAspiWDM PRESS ENTER. This "carriage return" is required.
THE VALUE FOR THE UpperFilters should be: REGMULTISZ (Which means it is a multi string value).
5. REBOOT

Try looking on the manufacturer of your Disc Drive's website for any drivers that you might need.

Partial solution for iTunes not playing songs or playing partial songs

Like a lot of other people, my iTunes (latest version 6.0.3.5 as well as previous versions), would refuse to play certain songs, or, would play only the first X seconds of a song.
I had been thinking all along that the song was encoded correctly and now iTunes would not play it.
Well it turns out that the iPod will not play it either, meaning that PLAYBACK was not the issue, but ENCODING.
I have another computer on our home network...I encoded a CD with that computer (same version of iTunes), then transfered the files to the "broken" computer...with the newly encoded files from the other computer, the "broken" computer plays the songs perfectly.
So anyway, the problem is with ENCODING, not PLAYBACK.
Now I have to go back and re-encode about 30 CD's...the number of CD's I've encoded on the broken computer since the no-playback/partial-palyback issue first surfaced.
We all still have a big problem here in figuring how to get the broken computers to encode correctly.
Hope this helps.

You might check and see what codecs are installed on your PC...
Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware tab
Audio Codecs > Properties
here is something similar
