My songs skip if I'm on the web and swiching pages or scrolling, any ideas?

I like to listen to Itunes (9.0) as I surf the internet, but as I scroll or open new pages the songs skip and sometimes won't stop skipping till I close that page. It doesn't matter what website I'm on or if I'm scrolling up,down, left or right. If I use page up or page down I don't have the problem, but then I still can't go left or right. I've tried restarting my computer and reopening Itunes, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Open XP's Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab. Highlight the iTunes.exe. Right-click it, and you'll see an option to set its "priority" as above normal. Do so. From then on in that session, whenever the computer is faced with a choice of playing the music without interruption or painting a web page quickly, it will choose to play the music without interruption.
Unfortunately, you'll have to do this Task Manager trick EVERY TIME. The operating system will not remember that you want iTunes to be considered more important than your other tasks.

    OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
    Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

    It was fine until i updated to iOS 5

    Have you tried:
    1. Resetting your iPad; hold down the Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Turn OFF your router for 30 seconds and ON again.

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

    I hope this helps!

    I have wi-fi in my home and it has always worked fine with my iPad.  Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there.  Since I have been home, it won't work in my house.  I can't get my wi-fi connecton.  I took it to anothe location where I have logged in in the past, and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas as to why I can't get a connection at home?
    Thank you.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Song skips after 16 seconds to the next one

    I bought a song in Itunes, but when I try to play it on my Imac the song skips after 16 seconds to the next one. I have this problem only on my Imac. The same song works on my iphone and can be played till the end.
    I already checked the song information where you can set stopping points but there's no stopping point for this song set. I also aren't able to download the song again. So how can I fix this proplem?

    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
    See Here  >  Download Past Purchases

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

  • ITunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

    iTunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted on my iMac, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

    I have the same issue.  If I open up the Equalizer and select any setting (including the one that is already checkmarked), the sound corrects itself.  However, it goes right back to crappy when a new song comes on. 

  • While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    I, too, am having this problem with my classic today. It's just begun stopping itself once on each song I play today. I press the middle Select button to start it again, but this is getting very annoying! I haven't tried anything on mine today.
    EDIT: I just realized that it's now doing this more than once per song. I just had this happen three times in a single 4 and half minute song. Any clues?

  • Itunes wont allow me to buy a song etc... i click the button and nothing happens? help please

    itunes wont allow me to buy a song etc... i click the button and nothing happens? help please. i can preview songs and click on everything but when i go to buy something it clicks but nothing happens

  • WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
    Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
    This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
    I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
    I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    thanx

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)
