Podcasts playing back at 2x normal speed

Since updating my 4G nano with the latest Updater version 5.1, podcasts play at twice their normal speed (sounding like the old time Chipmunks). To fix the problem (each time after powering the nano up), I need to jump to any other podcast during playback. When I do suddenly the playback goes to normal speed. Then I can go back to the podcast of interest and it will also play at normal speed.
Anyone else had this experience with Updater 5.1?

Podcast play back controls not responding on ipad

Podcast play back controls not responding on my iPad. The problem started today. I powered off the iPad and problem not solved. What to do?

I was unable to fix it on my own. My son suggested that I take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. Fortunately I was going to be in the city, and was able to make an appt. with the store closest to me. A very helpful young 'genius' took my iPad in the back room and fixed it. I don't know what he did, but he said something about 'firmware'. I don't even know what firmware is, but he said it was unlikely that the problem would recur. There was a sense that it had to do with the new IOS6. If you are able to visit an Apple Store that is what I recommend. Make an appointment first online at Apple.com. The service is free and I was VERY grateful to have my iPad restored!

Podcasts playing back at improper speed after recent iTunes upgrade

iPod Touch G2
After upgrading iTunes this week (SHARED > Home Sharing is now in the left pane), podcasts now play back improperly. Different podcasts now play back at higher speeds.
Music (songs) plays back at normal speed.
What to do? Do I have do a Restore?
Thanks.

it's easily done. that's why i always make sure to hit the power button and put it into sleep mode before putting mine in my pocket! (if you double click the home button while it's in sleep mode you can bring up music controls for quick track skips/pauses without having to slide to unlock)

Podcasts play back is dragging

When i first started downloading NPR podcasts the playback on my IPOD was fine. However, for the last two weeks the playback is dragging. This does not happen when i play back music. Only when i play back podcasts. has anyone else had this probelm? does it have anything to do with the new version of ITUNES i downloaded?

Go to Settings > Playback > Audiobooks and the setting probably says "Slower". Tap it to change it to normal.

Play back audio at slower speed

Hi everyone,
I can play back video clips at slower than normal speed, but I can't find the equivalent method for slowing down audio tracks. For example, how do I play back an audio track at 1/3 of normal speed?
Cheers!

ITunes is playing back at about half speed - PLEASE HELP

My iTunes started to play everything at about half speed today. It has not done that before so I am not really sure where the problem lies. It effects everything on iTunes; the mp3's, CD's and the iTunes store. Everything is played at about half speed. Anybody have any ideas?

Podcast plays back via server with iTunes but wont subscribe?!

I have 4 Podcasts on the iTunes directory, the problem is that you can click on one and play it but when you try to subscribe by pressing the subscribe button there is always an error. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I've tried validating the feeds but that never worked so here they are in their original form. if someone could fix one I could copy and paste for the other if its an XML thing.
You can find my Podcasts on the iTunes Directory by clicking this link (there are 4 of them, I've included all the feed urls for completeness below)
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.search.Direc tAction/search?submit=edit&term=leftcut&attribute=collection&media=Podcast
the URLs for the actual feeds are as follows,

Can someone PLEASE help, you really need to get the bottom of this with answers, I can't figure out what is going wrong. Its very urgent that I find out what's wrong and fix it as its part of my final year degree!
thanks

I believe your issue is related to your XML files. They do not validate as RSS feed...many errors.

Uploaded video plays at twice normal speed, but audio plays normally

I am able to upload video from Panasonic Lumix camera to iMovie08, but video plays back at twice normal speed. Meanwhile, audio plays back at normal speed. I posted a video on iTunes just to see if the problem remained and it does. How do I fix this so video plays at normal speed?

Like I say, there are two 24 modes on that camera. Is your sequence set up for 24fps or 29.97? Whichever one it is, try the other and see if it makes a difference.
What were your capture settings? You need to clarify that you've captured correctly (I'm not sure whether it's possible to capture 24fps material incorrectly as I've never tried).
The basic thing you need to do is determine whether you shot native 24 or 24 converted in camera to 30, and work forward from there.

How can I get tracks to play faster than normal speed in itunes?

I have lectures, audio books, and other recordings that I would like to play at faster than normal speed (like 1.5X or 2X normal speed).   I've set all of these recordings as audio books because I read that they have the option to play faster, but, I can't find how to actually make them play faster. I also read that it's possible to open them in quicktime, but that is very much less than ideal and a waste of time. Surely there is a way to do this in itunes, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

I will show you how I played my audio or mp3 files at any particular speed. This method will allow you to simply enter in your desired speed.(ex. 1.5 or 1.33)
In my case Im using an audio book [Lord of the flies] I download off youtube as a MP3 file using this program:
http://download.cnet.com/MediaHuman-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-7544580 3.html
      First off, you will need to make sure your audio file is open in QuickTime player rather then iTunes. First you need to locate the audio file. If your audio file is in itunes then right click the file and select "Show in Finder"
     The file should open in a finder window, highlighted. Right click the file, go to "Open With.." And click Quicktime Player. (If quickTime Player is not an option, you need to go to "Other..." and select QuickTime Player from your Applications folder)
Now that your mp3 file is open in a QuickTime window you may proceed to step 1.
1) Open Finder
2) Click Applications
3) Click Utilities
4) Open AppleScript Editor
5) In the program copy and paste the script below.
6) Click "Compile"
7) Now to test this script, click "Run" A window should pop up prompting you to enter your desired speed (default is 1.5)
8) press "OK" and quick time should start playing your audio at the speed you entered in.
9) If you would like to use this script again, go to File > Save... >Name your AppleScript and save it Anywhere (I saved mine in the Music Folder for easy access)
tell application "iTunes"
pause
set myTrack to location of current track
# the player’s position within the currently playing track in seconds
set mySeconds to player position
end tell
# show a Dialog
set SpeedFactor to 1.5
display dialog "Enter speed factor:" default answer SpeedFactor
set SpeedFactor to text returned of the result
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
# pause all previously opened documents
set open_docs to documents
repeat with doc in open_docs
pause doc
end repeat
# open the track just played in iTunes
open myTrack
# get the 'QuickTime' document, MyTrack should be equivalent but it isn't
set MyMovie to first document
# rewind by 10 seconds
if mySeconds > 10 then
set mySeconds to mySeconds - 10
end if
# set current time
set current time of MyMovie to mySeconds
# set Speed Factor and start playing
set rate of MyMovie to SpeedFactor
end tell

Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

Never heard this one before!
I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

After importing video to iMovie it plays back at two time sthe speed. Can any one help?How

I am improrting movies from my digital camera, as i have done 50 times in the past. Now they play back in iMovie HD at two times the speed. What's up with that? Has anyone else had this problem and if so can it be solved?

I don't know if it's a fix, but when them clips(fast one's), are in the project, click on it's blue gear(inspector),> Clip Adjustment> Speed= should be 100%. If it helps until fixed, try and slow it down to normal. Just a tempory fix, unless you find the problem on that way.

Premiere Pro is playing back my sequence at high speed. I do not want this.

I don't know what keyboard shortcut I must have accidentally hit, but I can't get it to play back at normal speed. I did not speed up any clips, so I'm assuming there's some easy way to disable this speedy playback that I just can't seem to find. Anyone?

Hi,
Right click on the clip and choose 'Speed/Duration'
Check if it is playing back at 100% or something else. The default shortcut would be to press Ctrl+R on Windows and Command+R on Mac.
Thanks!
Rameez
