Problem with Apple Lossless, skips some songs! Ipod Video 30 gig

I would love to play my music in higher quality then mp3 so i re ripped my albums to apple lossless (knowing ipod don't play FLAC) but when i try to play a song the ipod often skip the song and go to the next song and when i get it to start playing the first song, it can skip every other other song (from one to three) what's up with that?
My firmware is 1.2.3

Hi,
I brought my ipod yesterday and had the exact same issue. it would skip certain songs frequently and was extremely frustrating. Im not sure if this is the case for all ipods (i have an ipod nano 16Gb 4th gen, with firmware 1.0.4), but i fixed my issue in a series of steps. Im not sure which exact part of my method did the job, but here it is:
1. plugged it into iTunes and clicked "restore" under the tab "summary". WARNING: This will delete everything, and restore factory settings. im not sure if this is necessary, but youll need to delete the songs which skip anyway.
2. pressed the eject button IN ITUNES (under "devices", and next to your ipod icon), ejecting the ipod. wait for the ipod to specify when it is ready for it to be unplugged. proceed to unplug said ipod.
3. Choose the language of your ipod, and go into playback settings and (settings/playback or something) and turn OFF "shake" and "energy saver"
4. Plug your ipod into your computer again and drag all the songs onto your ipod using itunes.
5. after it has finished copying, WAIT until the ipod no longer says "synching", and until it says "connected"
6. Press the eject button IN ITUNES (again, under devices, and next to your ipod icon)
7. Eject when the ipod says it is ok to do so.
As i said, im not sure which part of the method did it for me, but i think it might be the way in which i was ejecting it. Before i was ejecting the ipod on my desktop. I think it is important to eject it using itunes. Anyway this fixed my ipod. Im not sure if it will do the same to yours, but if its making you very angry (to say the least) like it made me, its worth a try i guess. I would appreciate it if people let me know if this works.

  • Sync with vista doubles up some songs and video

    when I sync my iphone 5 to my vista computer it makes copies of some of the song and videos even if i dellete on phone and computer they come back on next sync why?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Problem with lag/synchronization/skipped frame when capture video

    I am trying to capture/record incoming video with audio. I basically clone the incoming datasources and merge them together and save into a file. The file plays fine except there is a synchronization problem between the audio and video. I think the problem is while the audio records fine (lets say 10:00) and video has a few random lags along the way thus decreasing the video time to (9:40) thus combining them will result in 20 seconds of extra audio and no video.... is there a way to fix this or i am capturing the video incorrectly? please help

    You,re nerver tell me if your are a MAC or PC user,
    I am only on a PC. Probably, the majority here are also PC, though there are more Mac-users every day, and there are also quite a few here, who work on both platforms. Because I am on a PC and you are on a Mac, many of my normal suggestions would not apply, so I did not make them.
    I notice in the forum, there is no tech, just stuppid people
    I think that the only stupidity was in my first reply, as I did not read your OP correctly, or comprehend it fully. Harm Millaard, anything BUT a stupid person, corrected me quickly, and I apologized for my errors. "Stuff" happens. I will be stupid again, I assure you. Now, if we omit my error, early on, you have received anything but stupid tips, suggestions and help. The vast majority of the subscribers here, regardless of their native platform, offer great insight and aid to users. They love doing that, or they'd not be here. It's all about trying to help. Now, not everything that they offer will apply, or be helpful. That happens often, when one is trying to remotely troubleshoot a problem. None of us is sitting at your machine. This is not done in real time, but over time. Sometimes a question gets asked twice, because a responder did not catch that it had already been asked, or maybe did not understand the answer.
    firsst i'm a MAc, and FINAL CUT PRO and I am very very happy, is a best and usefull software, I work with Radio Canada, TVA, Big TV communication,  so I do not have time to waste with that.....
    That is probably the best course of action. I think that you will be far happier with FCP, than you ever will with PrPro. Stick with that plan.
    Sorry that your experience here was such a bad one. Just remember that it was not because the subscribers were not trying to help you.
    Good luck,

  • Ipod Classic Buffer Overload with apple lossless

    My 160GB Classic occasionally pauses or stalls for a few seconds much like the buffer is overloaded and is reloading. The pause is intermittent (never the same place in same song), it lasts about 2 seconds then the song resumes right where it left off.
    My Ipod is loaded with Apple Lossless songs which all play fine on my Mac.
    The genius bar has been no help. Reloading and/or upgrading the software on my ipod has not fixed the problem (genius bar suggestion).
    Has anyone had a similar experience?

    I don't think the pauses have anything to do with Apple Lossless encoding. I get these pauses on occasion with 32kbps audiobooks.
    Enjoy life,
    Steven

  • When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

    The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

  • Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....

    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

    Hi bluebanana 66,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

  • Problems with Apple Photo Services

    I've been having problems with Apple's Photo Services. The first time, I'm pretty sure I didn't crop some pics correctly, but they were gracious enough to refund my $$. However, then I got serious about cropping in Aperture 2, and double-checked everything before submitting them. The 20 x 30s were fine, but the 16 x 20s were all screwed up. My $ was refunded for these, but I can't figure out whether the problem is mine, or in the transmission of the pics, or something that went wrong in the Photo Service. When I complain, they always send back a small pdf of what they claim they received, and it always matches what they printed. But that's not what I sent them.
    Anyone else have these problems? Might it be a bug in Aperture 2?
    Sean

    When I do a bulk export from Aperture 2, to anywhere, (flickr, Photoshelter, a set of files, gallery), randomly, (about 2 in thirty images are affected).
    The effect is stretched non-centerd cropping. I think it only affects random cropped images. Not all cropped images, but I am not sure about non-cropped images. ...
    The extra effort to go back to the export, after the fact, just to check up on the quality exported images is a waste of my time, but now made necessary.
    The thing that bothers me the most is that selecting the images that have been exported with the problem and then re-exporting those images produces, for me, the export I originally expected without the errors.

  • Problems with Apple Preview filled forms and compatibility with Windows?

    Anyone else having problems with Apple Preview filled out forms and compatibility with Microsoft Windows after Lion?
    I've had it happen recently with two different people, where the data I had entered on a fillable PDF form could not be seen by Microsoft Windows, but I saw my data just fine.
    I don't know what version of Adobe Acrobat they were running.
    Thanks,
    kt

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • I have a problem with the external sound of my ipod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    - Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    - Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
    - Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
    If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

  • Is there a problem with Apple on iTune and Appstore?

    It doesn't seem iTune and Appstore loading properly from my Macbook Air and Pro (both are on 10.9.2).

    Thanks Linc for asking. I'd like to withdraw this question though it's interesting to share what I found...
    The issue was somehow the connection between my wireless ADSL router and apple app store, itune. For example, the app store could be loaded but some apps missing pictures (similar to iTunes loaded) on my macbook air,pro and windows laptop. When I tried to download those apps with missing pictures (not fully loaded), said "unknown errors". All other internect connects seemed running as usual. That was why I thought it might be problems with Apple's server side etc. 
    I restarted the router and then problems resolved. App store and iTune runs as normal...wondering if Apple would have monitored any abnormal connections from end user and then blocks those?

    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard.  Has anyone seen this?

    We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4.  A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key.  If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly.  If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas.  Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this?  Is it a bug? 
    Thanks,

    Motion 4.0.3
    It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all.
