Nano skipping problem solved? (songs skipping while playing)

Well, not "solved" per se, but there does seem to be some concensus on the cause of these skips...
True, the nano is solid-state storage, and will not skip due to the same root causes that hard drive models might skip.
HOWEVER, that does not mean that the nano does not skip due to other reasons.
People on this forum, as well as members of iLounge have reported skipping problems. Concensus is that it is the nano's incompatibility with LAME encoded MP3s (some say that it's only VBR, yet some say it is also with CBR tracks).
The symptoms are tracks that skip on the nano, but play perfectly fine in iTunes (or any other player for that matter). I've heard that the mini also has this problem, but I cannot confirm... I can confirm that it happens often on my nano...
I have a very large collection of LAME encoded MP3s, so re-encoding is not a reasonable option...
If you are experiencing these issues, please report them to Apple... We need a firmware fix for this...
Question: Does anyone know if Apple is already aware of this issue, and plans to fix it in the next firmware update?

If it's skipping in iTunes and your iPod, then it is likely you have a bad file...
While there is probably a way of knowing what encoder was used to encode a file, I don't know that off hand...
I know my files are all LAME encoded because I ripped them using LAME...

Music has TINY SKIPS while playing on my mac

Anyone know why the music has these little "click" skips while playing? I'm playing on a mac pro with Yosemite and hard wired high speed 150 Mbs connection. It's like the music has these tiny fast interruptions in it when playing. It seems to have happened only recently. Perhaps this is spotify encouraging me to leave for Apple's new service?

Is app nap enabled? https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-Windows/App-Nap-and-OSX-10-10-3/m-p/1160650

Export QuickTimes freeze and skip while playing back

I’m new to Motion, and growing concerned. I’ve purchased and learned Motion for a specific job. I’ve built some very cool elements with many layers. I’ve grown accustom to the slow performance, skipping etc. while working on the project. That’s ok.
What concerns me is exporting. When exporting Draft or Best versions, most all the time the movies freeze or skip while playing back, either in QuickTime or Final Cut Pro
When exporting I select Export, as QuickTime Movie, using current project settings
I’m using Motion 3.02-HDV 1080-60i project, 10 seconds long
4x 2.5 Ghz G5
5 GB Ram
I would appreciate and advice or tricks to be able to export a decent version of what I’ve built.
Thanks!

Andy, thanks for your help.
I have 30 gigs available on the hardrive. The file exports are usually less than a gig. I have a GeForce 6600 card.
When I select export setting from “current project settings” it uses the Animation codec and plays with freezes and skips. But with in that video that does play well, it plays very clean and clear.
When I change the export to 1080i60 at best quality, I’m guessing it uses the HDV codec? It does play back with out the skips and freezes. But it looks like **** with horizontal lines in titles stripes etc.
Is there a way to make the 1080i60 video playback clean?
Thanks!

Songs are skipping while playing songs

Ipod Nano 6th generation.Any Idea what would cause songs to sip while playing ? I mean like a vinyl record or a dirty CD.

If you ripped them from a CD onto your computer, the CD could have had scratches on it. Try playing one section of the song, and if the glitches happen at the same place in the music every time, the CD was your problem.

Anyway to view a songs bitrate while playing on Nano

Would like to see what the bitrate of whatever song is currently playing on my nano. Does this feature exist?
Nano second gen black 8gb

If your concerned what the bitrate is you can make it easy and go into itunes and reformat all your music to be 1 bitrate like 128 AAC or 256 AAC whatever you like. THen you wont have to guess what bitrate a song is. But the previous post is right you cant change what can be viewed on the screen of the nano.
GFF:)

Songs restarts while playing

Ok, I searched for answers, I cant find anything.
Ok so here is the problem. I Updated to iTunes 7, and with it, while playing music, a lot of songs would play for 1-20 seconds(depends on the song) and then seem like you restarted the song. Only thing is that its still progressing through the song.
I tried regressing to iTunes 6, still there, tried winamp, nothin. Worse part, my iPod does it to, because I had to reimport the songs.
Im ready to kill something!
Athlon 64 3200+ 1 GB ram Windows XP

I have the same problem.
I suspect it may be a thread concurrency problem with dual core processors in windows.
If so, you need to delete itunes completely from your system and re-install with itunes 6.x
Bummer.
If Apple has an official answer, I'd like to hear it.

Skipping while playing

I am using Zen Touch 20 GB, I have more than 900 songs. When I am playing a list of songs, quite often I am facing a problem, that is the creative player skips the current song in between and plays the next song in the list. It is not only occurring to any particluar song/mp3. It is very random and I don't know how to resolve this problem. I am sure that the mp3 file is good & some times it plays fully.
Please help, Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ragunath

Hello Catherina,
Thanks for your reply,
I purchased my player March 2005 in France, and I think so far there is no need to upgrade the
firmware.Usually, I have the play mode as Shuffe/Random. It skips the current track & plays the very
next track in the list.
What will be the impact on "Clean Up" operation?. Will it result in any data/track lost?.
I have very important data (about 6 GB) in data files segment & I don't want to loose any mp3 files.
Please suggest me, whether I can go ahead doing this.
NOTE: I am from Chennai(Madras) INDIA, and I don't have any Technical/Product support or service
centers here for Zen Touch. Please suggest me what to do?.

Music skipping while playing

Hey all. For some reason when I play my MP3's through iTunes they seem to be skipping, like a scratched CD almost. All the songs are ones I bought through iTunes so I know it's not that. Any ideas?

Hello ultron16,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
You may want to delete the songs that are skipping and redownload them.
Best of luck,

Nano 7th generation turns off automatically while playing music

Start playing music and the nano shuts off at random times, usually in the first minute, even with full battery

The headphone jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headset jack farther in, there should be no space between the plastic on the headset jack and the body of the Nano.

My itunes player on my desktop skips when playing songs. I have re-installed but the problem continues. I have Windows7 64 bit.

My itunes player on my desktop (Windows7 64 bit) skips while playing songs. I have re-installed but the problem continues. Any suggestions?

I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment. Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

Songs won't play after the first playing

I am having a problem whereby songs will not play after the first time they have been played. After I import them into I tunes, I play them once to verify that they have been copied correctly. However several CDs demonstrate the following behavior. After they have successfully played back one time, they no longer work in Itunes. I click them and nothing happens.
I just tried to re-rip the song from the CD that i used originally to put the song into Tunes and received the following error message: "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation". I am the only user of my computer and have administrator priveleges. I don't know how to remedy the problem that apparently exists. Can anyone help?

Can you confirm that Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab on your new computer?

Satellite A500-17x restarting while playing games

Hello,
I got this laptop for christmas, and have recently purchased games through steam, it is then when I came to play Call of Duty 4 that the laptop just randomly restarted itself. At first I thought that it must of overheated, but then it was not hot at all, and had only just been switched on. I then thought it could of been the game conflicting with the computer, so I tried other games such as Counterstrike: Source, no luck it still randomly restarted. Ive played for hours without it turning off then other times just minutes. The laptop is ok when im just surfing the internet etc. but restarts when playing games. I have read other forums expressing the same problem, but have yet to find a solution. I have updated the display drivers from the Toshiba website, from nVidia but still not working.
Please Help :)

I believe I know the solution.
I've been looking over this forum for a few months with the same problem, looking for developments that might help me solve mine, so I feel it right that I should post here telling you how mine's fixed.
I sent mine off from where I bought it (PC World) for repair, twice. The first time all they did was clean out the fan, but sending it back with the same problem, they changed the motherboard, also known as the mainboard, and it seems to have fixed the problem. I have evidence why this is so from wikipedia. Some of the major functions of a motherboard are:
- slots for expansion cards (these interface to the system via the buses supported by the chipset)
- power connectors, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards.
I always assumed with it switching off on the AC power supply WHILE PLAYING GAMES, there must be some sort of problem with the link between the power and the "expansion cards" e.g graphics and video cards, and it seems that this "link" is indeed the motherboard, so in manufacturing, it sure seems like the model of the motherboard used by Toshiba may have had a minor fault for the model that causes this shut down, unfortunately.
So far there has been no problem using the laptop while playing games, and it seems to be all fine so far!
I hope this answer helped a lot in sorting out your problems, good luck and happy gaming! :)
