Scrambled Music with Itunes

I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my computer and backed up and restored the Itunes playlists and music through Itunes (ver 7). What has happened is that for some of the songs - about every 10 or 15 or so has been altered so when I play the song within Itunes, it plays the first 10 seconds or so of another song and then starts the actual song that I tried to play (or sometimes the song will start playing normally and then part of another song will play and then back to the normal song again. I have played the same song under Windows Media player and it plays the same way - Many of the older songs are ok, but many of my newer ones have changed. As an example, if I play a Madonna song, the first 10 seconds will play a KennyG song and then cut to the Madonna song. Also, some songs that I play now are completely different music than what the file name indicates. I have restored Itunes again and the same thing is happening. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what happened and if it is possible to fix it? Thanks

Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
Like I said all songs and podcasts start  like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

    Visit the local Apple store in the mall and they ran diagnostics on it. They told me the phone has no hardware problems.
    Still the issue is not resolved.
    Please help it has been more than 2 weeks that I have this problem and it seems no one is helping.

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • Windows crashs when playing music with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes. I have already tried to re install Windows and have updated all the drivers for my hardware but there has still nothing changed.
    When I'm updating my iPod with iTunes there is no problem. It only crashes when I started to listen to music with iTunes. I can still listen to music over other music programs like Winamp.
    Can anybody help me?... or does anybody know what the reason could be for that?

    hi Simon!
    I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes.
    are you getting a blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it?
    if you don't see a blue screen (or just get a flash of a blue screen), use Jonathan's technique to display any hidden ones:

  • HT204406 when matching my music with ITunes store I keep getting error notification

    when matching my music with ITunes store I keep getting the followig message after a while: "A problem caused program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Could someone tell me how can I fix this problem.
    It keeps disconnecting me and my music stops playing. Thank you
    enriqueroman

    Since about Feb 1 2012 was having this same problem - seemingly started after I had downloaded latest iTunes and Lion updates. I got the error both when trying to update apps on iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
    I found the solution on another discussion list.  My iTunes account had an "&" in the name.  I edited the account details through iTunes and this solved the problem immediately.

  • You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

    You can delete music with itunes match on:
    settings - general - use - music - all music
    in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
    You can also download individual tracks:
    click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

    unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks

  • No sound while plying music with iTunes

    Hi,
    Recently, I do not have any more sound coming from iTunes. All sound from other applications and system sounds are all working well but nothing from iTunes, neither from my music nor from the movies. iTune stay silent whatever the output I choos in sys_pref/sound (wire headset, blutooth headset, internal iMac speacker,...) . Does any one has the same issue or any solution to this issue.
    I am using an iMac early 2008 under OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0.1(12)

    iTune doesn't play music after sleeping mode.
    The button Play/pause not working and the play-bar is not moving.
    In my case, the Play/pPause button is working and the play-bar is moving.
    The moovies are also progressing (Image not frost) but it look like it every thing in iTune is muted, whatever the actions I am doing on the volume controle.

    This problem have appeared after upgrade to iTunes 11.
    I can not say if it is due to the update of iTunes, I usually not listen my music with iTune. It is just a coincidence I noticed it yesterday. I am sure that the sound was working when I was under "Lion", several month ago. But I can not determine if the problem occurs after iTune update or Mountain Lion upgrade.

  • Cannot Sync Photos and Music with iTunes

    After I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 5s to iOS 8, I cannot remove my music from my iPad to create more space, and I cannot restore the photos that was removed from my phone during the update process. With my iPad, I tried removing the music with iTunes on my Mac and the message appears asking if I want to remove music after I uncheck sync music, but it did nothing to my iPad, even after I synced multiple times. I even tried removing music on my iPad by going to Setting>General>Usage>Music, but one I clicked on Music the app would crash to the home screen. I have tried doing this with or without it connect to iTunes, as well as restarting it but nothing works. It keeps crashing.
    With my iPhone I tried syncing photos multiple times but it is always stuck on (step 5 of 6: Importing photos), where it will continue for hours and then give up. I tried unchecking the sync photos first and then tying to sync it with the photos again but the same problem persists. I also tried removing the iPod Photo cache from my iPhoto Library and then syncing it again but nothing.

    Problems solved! Apparently when iTunes 10.5 is installed, the settings for what to sync, e.g. photos, music is reset to the default in which no content is synched.  What's more, these settings are not particularly obvious in the Windows version on iTunes, as you have to scroll down to actually see them.  There is also no message or other information as part of the upgrade process that warns that theses boxes will revert to being unchecked after the upgrade.
    From a user-centered design process, POV the upgrade and its instructions are woefully disappointing :-(

    Hi,
    Can you give more details? Are the tracks in your iTunes library. What is the source of the music? What is the iCloud status of the tracks.

  • Sharing music with Itunes and windows XP

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to this group, but couldn't find anywhere else to ask for help!! I have searched this database, but could not find an answer that worked for my problem!
    I am PC based and have several computers all running windows 2000. They all have itunes running and are very happy to share the music. I just purchased a new HP machine running windows XP and cannot get Itunes on this machine to share its music, or see any of the other machines shared music. I have read various messages about setting port 5353 and have tried this but with no success, I completely disabled my firewall but still not success? Does anyone know why XP will not see the other computers shared music or share its music? I have tried sharing the directory (with the Itunes music)on the new machine but still no success! I can go into itunes on one of my other machines and "add folder" so that the other machine see's the directory on my new machine with all the music, but I would like to share the music via Itunes? Maybe I am being naive! but it works for 2000 why not XP?
    Any help would be very welcome.
    Thanks Gary

    Thanks Rachyl,
    The link was how to share files, I can do that, my problem is that the itunes programs on my XP machine will not speak to or listen to the itunes programs running on any other machine (mac or windows 2000). I would like to know how to get the XP machine to communicate with the other computers and then share its music.
    Many thanks Gary

  • Free Music with iTunes

    I just got an iPod and was informed that you can get free music from iTunes on Tuesdays or with special offers. How do I get the free music? Is there a special place you have to go on the iTunes site?

    Is it good?
    It's marketing. You'll likely find some stuff you've never heard (same is true for the samplers that pop up every now and then). A few of these artists I've gon on to add more to my collection, and a few I've tried to burn from my memory. Most are innofensively in the middle.
    But hey! You never know your next favorite artist until you listen

  • Streaming music with Itunes?

    How to create a web-show with Itunes?
    1. The music I want to broadcast is 100% free (music made at home by me and by a community of artist from Europe and America)
    2. How to configure ITunes to broadcast thru the web?
    3. Do I need a 'server' like shoutcast or something like?
    4. How to allow users to connect to my show?
    Any help is higly appreciated!
    Thanx.

    Shoutcast or Live365.com are great resources for homemade streaming. iTunes will not "broadcast" to the web, you need to have some kind of server driving the process.

  • Organizing classical music with itunes

    I am having trouble handling my classical music on itunes. I would like to be able to look up music by style and/or period (for example romantic, or renaissance) and then by composer, and then by instrument (for example oboe) and then by piece.
    I listen to all kinds of music and am happy with the method itunes gives me with all but classical. I like to shuffle my music but shuffling classical is disasterous. How can I make sure that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movement are always played in correct order and kept together as a separate "song" en toto when I want my ipod to shuffle all music but classical?
    I would also like at least two separate artist search lists. Although I don't mind coming across Beatles next to Beach Boys I don't particularly want to come across Beach Boys next to Brahms.
    I have been struggling with this on my own for some time and coming up short so I figured to see if there was a better way by coming here. Any help is appreciated.

    You could add thet information into the comments area and do a smart playlist, but this is a limitation of the tagging format.

    Shuffle by nature randomizes tracks. You can exclude tracks from being shuffled but short of importing the pieces as one big track, you cannot bring control to something random.
    I would also like at least two separate artist search lists. Although I don't mind coming across Beatles next to Beach Boys I don't particularly want to come across Beach Boys next to Brahms.
    Thats the nature of alphabetization. The problem of a second artist search is that it destroys the continuity of searches. That just won't happen.
