Since installing iTunes 7.3, all audio playback on CD/DVD drive skips

Hi,
I am running Windows XP home edition, and have recently downloaded iTunes 7.3.
Since installing iTunes, all audio playback via my CD/DVD skips/stutters. This occurs in all media playes, Windows Media, Sonic DVD etc. Audio files stored on the hard drive play back fine through these same programs. So far I have updated firmware and drivers for my CD/DVD drive and sound card.
I have looked on this site and Dells, and cant find any solutions as to what the problem may be.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Aidan

One thing you could try is to check your computer manufactures site to see if there is a firmware update for your CD drive.
Apple offer this help on this:

  • Strange behaviour since installing iTunes 7.1.1 upgrade, (my iBook that is)

    Since installing iTunes 7.1.1 update only a few days ago strange things are happening.
    1. Incorrect disc and track names
    I insert a music CD, the usual question comes up: do you wish to import this CD into your iTunes library? I click on yes and wait a second the CD title and tracks are all wrong. usually it is something I imported a short while ago but once it came up with a disc title I must have imported like 6 months ago
    Yes I remembered to check the box for automatic gracenotes access but still this error comes up. If unknown disc, and track 1, track2 etc came up that would make logical sense, but I never saw this before.
    If I then click on Access gracenotes assuming the data is available it comes up correct.
    2. Failure to recognise disc already imported
    If I take out the disc and insert again the one I just imported, up comes the question again "do I wish to import?" I thought iTunes was smarter than that.
    3. Plying audio affects slide bar action adversely
    While checking through sound files in a Finder window, I play an aiff or MP3 file from the Quicktime style control bar displayed there, while the audio is playing the blue bubble at the bottom of the window does not move smoothly when I try to move left or right.
    Note:
    I've been trying to organise my music library onto a remote hard drive to free up hard drive space. I did this by copying the folders out of the default iTunes music folder into another iTunes music folder on the hard drive such that all the other related folders are present in the main iTunes folder. Could this move be the source of my problems?
    iBook G4, 1.07 GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Here is the latest on the iTunes problem.
    Focussing on iTunes issues only, (I think there are some system issues which I will try to resolve in the appropriate forum).
    1. About 6 months ago my hard disc was so full of music fies I moved most of my iTunes music folder content to DVDs for later transfer to an external HD drive.
    2. Now I have a small portable HD onto which I have copied all iTunes music folder content into one place. I created a new folder called 'iTunes music' and within Finder I moved the files and re arranged and re-named some of the subfolders to make better sense of the library structure. Incidentally some of the folders seemed to have got locked, and marked as owned by the system? I don't understand how this happened.
    3. When I run the iTunes 7 application it finds the new music folder but only a fraction of its true content is displayed as playlists in the left hand column.
    4. Thinking that the application would create its own (updated) ' iTunes library' file if it did not find one in the iTunes folder when launching, I moved the existing one to another folder, but the same incomplete list appears!!
    So the question is please,
    how do I get the application to construct a new and complete iTunes library file?
    Have I really screwed things up?
    There does not seem to be any reference to this kind of problem in the help files.

  • Since installing iTunes 11 i can no longer update any of my devices???

    Since installing iTunes 11 i am unable to transfer anything on to any of my devices, ie iPhone 5, ipad iPod iPhone 4, they all just say cannot be read or written too? Anyone having the same trouble?

    I had exactly the same issue.  The Devices under File were greyed out.  I went back to the previous version of Itunes by installing the backup of Time Machine.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • Can't add itunes library to my ipod etc since installing itunes on my new computer. HELP!

    I have just installed itunes on my new PC and am trying to add some songs onto an ipod.  The songs were purchases from the Itunes store.  I go through the process of drag and drop onto the device (its the same with my ipad and iphone) but it won't work.  Since installing itunes on my new computer I have bought an album off itunes and it downloaded with no problems - but any of my old purchases won't transfer over.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.  I haven't as yet transferred over my music libray from my old PC (songs that I burnt )  so not sure if it would be the same.  I would have thought that songs that have been purchased in itunes should easily transfer.  Help please?

    Move the files for your new purchases out to the desktop.
    Migrate your library properly from your old computer as given below.
    Move the files stored on the desktop into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.
    Migrate iTunes Library
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Hey there Jantje1,
    It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes and get an error message instead. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:

  • I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

    I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
    Why is this happening? 
    Here is my computer information:
    Dell
    Latitude D630
    Intel Core  Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32-bit Operating System
    Thank you,
    Kelly

    There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

    iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
    Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
    Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
    I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
    Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
    Any

    Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.
