Problems Playing iTunes

I am not at all computer savvy. My husband was kind enough to buy me a 80GB Classic when I started law school. I was able to download about 1,400 songs before I started experiencing problems. Now, whenever I try to preview a CD before I decide what songs to download off of it the songs sound jumpy/skippy. Other songs play fine on iTunes until I preview a CD & then they act up too. I tried buying a 160GB external hard drive & I think I sucessfully moved my library to it, but I'm still having the same problem. I have a couple hundred CDs left to download before I'm fully digital. Please help!

I'm not suggesting there's something "wrong" with the memory.
However, if you're running other programs that use a lot of the system's memory while you're trying to read from a CD, you would experience that skipping effect.
Does the problem occur every time you listen to songs from a CD? If so, have you tried doing it when iTunes is the only program running?

  • I have no problems playing iTunes Radio stations thru my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spotify from any device it plays for a while then cuts out. Any suggestions?

    I can play iTunes Radio stations via Apple TV through my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spot iffy the music cuts out after so many minutes. Any suggestions why or what I should do?

    ... sorry, my actual MacMini doesn't support a twin-monitor feature.. nor does my grafic card support a direct connection to a TV...
    you should look in your prefs, Monitor, and should be able to set for the 2nd monitor some 768res/25fps .. .if your grafic card supports that mode.. (my old iBook G3 did it that way, but it is ... "retired" ....)

  • Problem playing itunes over wireless network

    I have a problem with folders syncing between my computer and my audio system.  I have a PC and my operating system is MS Vista.  The computer has the latest version of itunes on it.
    I can play music from my PC thru my wireless network on my audio system, but not itunes.  When I look at the file hiarchy on my TV through my Bluray (an LG), the files below music do not match the hiarchy on my computer.  The server is recognized and other music and picture files are there and they work fine through what the software calls Homelink.  But beneath the Music folder the itunes folder does not show as it does on my computer screen.  I have actuated file sharing for itunes on the computer.
    I chatted with LG help and they said that I can't make itunes work because itunes does not have something called DINA.  I have never heard of this and question this answer.
    I would think there is a way to make this work down to the itunes playlist level.  If I can't I will have to burn my playlist to a CD and play it in the Bluray and I had rather not have to do that.
    Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciate.  The path that I have itunes set on on the computer is: Server/Music/itunes. 

    Can you marked this thread as Finished then please ?

  • Problems playing itunes videos continuosly in Full Screen

    Hi guys,
    I have a small problem. I started to buy Videos in itunes music store and building my own MTV. So far, so good. My problem started when I started to buy some DVDs, converting the videos to MP4 format and then adding them to my itunes library. I have kept the same resolution than the original itunes videos, but I have changed the frame rate to have a little bit more quality.
    When I select a video, iTunes plays it in full screen (as it is selected in the preferences). If the second video is another original iTunes, it continues in full screen. But as soon as one of the non iTunes videos starts, it goes to the main window and plays the video in the small section at the bottom-left of the screen (selected as "Now Playing"). Then, the next video goes back to full screen, even if it is a non-itunes one. It is very anoying since I have to put it back in Full screen manually.
    Does anybody have the same issue? I am using the last release and patch level of Mac OS and itunes. I think that it might be related with the way that I imported the videos (using Handbrake 7). May be I need to use exactly the same format that Apple uses in itunes. Does anybody knows the exact video format that Apples uses? Do you think that it may be related with issue?
    One last point. I have experienced the same problem in two different Macs. One Power PC and one Intel... I have already given up...
    Thanks in advance for your help,

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
    I too was experiencing non-full screen playback between music videos / movies. I discovered that this only happened if I had en EQUALIZER setting for the music video / movie. Once I had NONE as the EQUALIZER setting my music videos / movies all played back full screen from one to the next.
    Change your settings in the equalizer column as suggested and see if this works for you. It solved my problem, although I do not have my desired equalizer settings in operation!

  • Problems playing iTunes purchases from external drive on new computer.

    My computer recently died and I had to get a new one. Luckily I had copied all of my iTunes purchases onto an external drive. However, when I connect the external drive to the new computer I can see the purchases but cannot see them in iTunes-I try adding the files in iTunes, but this doesn't work. I have authorised the computer, so it should be able to play the purchases but I have tried dragging them all into iTunes, copying them to the computer but no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    In Windows Explorer, right-click on your media folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

  • Problems playing Itunes on windows

    Just lately, when I play songs on Itunes on my pc, all of the songs constantly stutter in their playback. This is the only playback application that does this. Winamp, musicmatch, Windows media player - they all work and sound fine. Re-booting provides no solution. Should I re-install, or something different? Thanks

  • Problems with iTunes 10.6.1 - rendering stops while playing music

    Hi everybody, I am writing because some problems with iTunes, that appeared currently. Never had this problems before... When playing music suddenly the rendering stops for several seconds and then it continues without any action from my side. Maybe the problem only shows up when my MacBook comes to the standby mode, but nevertheless, i never had this problem before and it really restricts the possibilities of enjoying music played by iTunes. Can you help me?
    Thanks and kind regards

    I have an old macbook too.
    It seems like Apple writes new software that makes older computers not work as well.
    I always have reservations about updating with an older model.

  • Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

    I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
    Very thankful for any help.

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • Problems playing Purchased songs in iTunes

    I have bought some tracks through iTunes. But if I want to play them I'm asked to type my password and then I'm asked to upgrade to iTunes 7. It doesn't play the songs even after I've typed my password. My current iTunes version 4.8 and I DON'T want to upgrade. I can't really believe I can't play songs I've paid for, just because Apple wants me to user a never version of their software?

    I don't know if this will solve your playing problem, but iTunes 6.0.5 works very well for most people.
    You can still download a copy here:

    Stay off 7 if you can, I downgraded back to 6 in disgust.
