Skip in music

Hi All
I recently used SP to chop up a single 2.5 hour MP3 file into separate tracks, saving them out as individual aiff's. Now each track (whether I play them in iTunes or on my iPod) have one or more skips/glitches in them. Did I do something wrong? How can I avoid this? I don't use SP very often, so I am far from an expert...
Thanks for the help
cheers

That would be at slide 99. This is because there's a 99 chapter limit for video DVDs (not an iDVD limit but a video DVD standards limit) and iDVD gets around it by renaming slide 100 back to 1. This causes a brief pause.
Creating the slideshow in iMovie will get rid of the pause but you will lose the ability to advance or go back one slide at a time manually with the remote.
The pause can be minimized (but not eliminated) by following this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
It seems that my high end Sony DVD player pauses longer than my low end Sony VHS/DVD player. Some players are just more sensitive.

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

ITunes skips the music section of the sync

On my brand new windows 8 pc, I can't seem to sync my music (most of it from my old pc) to my iphone 4s. The sync simply skips the music part. Ideas?

As you have discovered, episodes downloaded with iTunes show up under Podcasts. There is no way to change this. Something invisible inside the file tells iTunes to do this. You could download those same shows from the producer's Web page, but that could mean lots of downloading, and older episodes might not be available.
To group episodes together when some appear in Music and others in Podcasts, make a playlist. Fill it with the episodes from the Music and Podcast libraries, and sort them in he order. You could even make a smart-playlist for this, where +Album | is | <podcast title>+.

IPod Mini Skips Through Music

I am having a problem with my iPod mini. When I try to play any of the music loaded on it, it simply skips through each song without playing any of it. Any suggestions?

I tried that, and it didn't work. In addition, it will not allow me download music from my PC. Both features were working but are not now for some reason.

Frustration setting in! G4 iPod skips purchased music (tried reset, etc.)

Hi All -
I've been a Mac guy since System 7. I got the iPod knowing that it would "just work" like all things Mac. I've purchased music through iTunes because it's the right thing to do, but I'm beginning to get frustrated with a problem I'm having playing purchased music. I do not want to have to update my iPod to correct the problem everytime it occurs (I've spent a lot of time trying to fix the problem), I won't purchase a new iPod to fix it (all other functions work great), and I'm considering different sources for online music since there doesn't seem to be a problem with other sources (friends think I'm crazy for paying as it is). PLEASE HELP! Someone knows the answer. Here's your chance to prove yourself a god!
I seem to have a common problem. My G4 (20G) iPod will skip purchased (iTunes) music after the iPod turns off. When it restarts (Apple displays on the screen), all purchased music skips. The titles are displayed, but it runs through all purchased titles without playing.
I've tried the common fixes - reset the iPod, authorized and de-authorized the computer on iTunes, re-installed the library and all other methods provided in discussions and support. Since the titles are displayed and occurs only after the iPod restarts, I'm assuming that there is a problem with permissions that should have been corrected with the iPod reset or authorize/reinstall solutions. Nothing is helping. Just to state the obvious, all software is up to date.
Can some kind person provide a fix? It seems to be happening to a lot of folks, but I can't seem to find anything that helps.
Thanks!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had the problem where my purchased songs would be skipped over when I attempted to play them on my iPod, described perfectly in article 303854 "iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Store." However, after following all the steps in that article the problem still happened, until...
I spoke with an iPod support representative who knew that in some cases the normal iPod Restore steps don't work unless the iPod is put in "Disk Mode" first. We put my iPod in Disk Mode then performed the Restore steps, and the problem went away--purchased songs played normally.
For instructions to put an iPod in disk mode, see article 93651 "Putting iPod into Disk Mode":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
So, if your purchased songs are skipped over and if the steps in article 303854 don't solve your problem, consider putting your iPod in Disk Mode first then performing the Restore steps again.
Good luck.

Help ? Nokia 5800 Xpress skips MP3 music file

Phone has latest firmware.
The music mp3 files (at 192kbps or above) were all ripped from CD, no DRM involved.
I copy them onto the phone memory card (8gb). I use drag-and-drop to do this on
Windows Vista. When connecting the phone USB cable select the 'Media Transfer' option.
The tracks all play fine on the PC. Some play fine on the phone, but many it plays just a few
seconds of, skips some seconds, plays some more, jumps to the next track etc. I get only
perhaps 30-40 seconds from each track. Any ideas why it might be doing this????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found a fix. Nokia Care told me to select 'Media Transfer' when connecting the phone to the PC via USB to copy music files. This did not work, then they ran out of ideas.
Googling around I found another Nokia webpage that said to select 'Mass Storage' instead. This works fine (when simply drag-dropping music files in Windows onto the memory card). No more skipping

Latest iTunes update caused static and skips in music

I'm not quite sure how to check what update I last did, but ever since I did it, my music has had a static sound and skips on occasion. I know my friend who also does not have a Mac is experiencing the same thing and I'm wondering if it's connected to the latest update.

There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues - including problems with Bluetooth devices - that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
Another possible remedy relates to a potential clash between the 64-bit version of iTunes 12 and Google Chrome; some users have reported that uninstalling Chrome (not just not having it running) resolves the iTunes playback issues without having to install the alternative version referred to above.
Finally, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Noises&skipping during music playback on itunes from ext drive audio files.

hello,
Since my itunes library it is getting too big (about 14000 songs & wave files) I'm using a maxtor one touch II 300gb ext hard drive & another ext 200gb where I moved only the actual audio files.
So I get weird noises, like electric noise or static, during playback & very often some songs just skip after a few seconds to the next song.
I tried everything: on the ipod these files are still bad, on cd as well & on pro tools the same...I can't get rid of these noises & skipping.
So I have the feeling that I'm doing something wrong setting up itunes with an ext drive.
Do I have to put on the ext drive the actual itunes music library.xml & itunes library icon from the int drive?
Or just the actual music & keep the original itunes folder untouched?
Which one should I choose as the main music folder location, int or ext?
Please help I'm lost & i'm losing so many songs during these days...
Thanks,
Exi

Hello,
thanks so much for your support:
I actually did everything but at this point I get lost...
# After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes 4 Music Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder.
# Empty the Trash or Recycle Bin.
I don't understand if they talk about the iTunes music folder located in the internal hd or the one in the external one that now is the main folder for itunes.
Do I have to put the .xml & the music library icon on the ext as well?
thanks again,
Paolo

IPod Skipping Purchased Music Fixed!....Sort of

See my post over at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=1651307#post1651307
Hopefully this will help others. Any thoughts?

Burning all my purchased music onto CDs then reuploading it onto iTunes is not a valid fix.
I'm still having the intermittent playing problem. This problem was happening before I updated to iTunes 5 and before I installed the most recent (Sept. 6) update for iPod.
What's going on? I'm not the only one having this problem yet there seems to be no response from Apple as to how to fix it.

Mini skips purchase music from iTunes 6

I've read over some other topics but nothing has been helpful, so here's my issue. I downloaded iTunes 6 and transferred songs I purchased to my Mini. When I try to play the songs, the Mini just skips it and goes on to the next song. Software is 1.4 (up to date). I tried deleted the songs and adding them again -- same result.
It's a new mini, so I'm not sure why this has happened.
Any suggestions?

Hi: I had this problem with my Mac/Mini, purchased song played fine on computer, looked like it copied to Mini, but kept getting skipped when I disconnected iPod. I tried erasing the song from my Mini, resetting, and recopying from iTunes but the problem remained.
I filled out a complaint form and Apple sent me another copy of the song. I downloaded it to my computer, copied to the Mini, and it worked fine when I disconnected the iPod. The second time, I payed more attention to everything and noticed that when disconnecting the iPod, synching took longer than it had previously, and would stop and start before fully completing. I probably disconnected the iPod too early when I was having the probelm.
Apple has since released a new version of iTunes (6.0.1) that may address synching speed or continuity. Hope this helped!

Skipping/Stuttering Music in Library

Hey,
Recently whenever I play any song from my iTunes library from my computer, every 5-10 seconds the song skips/stutters, which becomes very annoying over the course of the song. I don't understand why this is happening. Is there anything I can do to correct this?
Thanks

Same thing for me with iTunes 7.x. This problem doesn't appears with version 6.
At every 10 secs itunes scrowls the artist name / album name and cause 70% cpu usage !! about 14 seconds after the begining of a new song the cpu goes to 100%. If the two things happens at the same time ... the sound scratch about 2-3 secs.
Solution ? Go back to version 6 ? wait for 7.4; 7.5 version ?
Somebody knows what to do ? Help !!
Sorry for my english ...

Music is skipping in iTunes 7.0.1.8

Ever since I upgraded from iTunes 7.0something-or-other to 7.0.1.8, I've heard an intense amount of skips in music playback.
I've tried reinstalling my sound card drivers with no luck, iTunes doesn't seem to be eating up any more CPU or memory than it usually does, and I've tried closing all other applications.
Is this a known issue with a resolution? Can't seem to find any answers anywhere. Needless to say, I'm quite frustrated
Windows XP Pro 1.60ghz AMD sempron, 1gb ram

I don't know if this will help you, but I was having the same problem in the earlier version of iTunes 7.0. The advice was to turn down my sound card hardware acceleration. This actually did work.
The latest "patch/upgrade" allowed me to turn my sound card acceleration back up with no problems, but you may have a different sound card that is just now impacted. To try this "fix"--go to your control panel click on sounds and audio devices. Then find the Audio tab and click on it. Next select sound playback. Then click on the advanced tab. Finally under hardware acceleration, move the slider from full down two notches to basic.
See if this solves the choppy sound problem. When you download the next iTunes version or patch try resetting your sound hardware acceleration to full and see if it's okay (finally).

Purchased music skips after a few days

My iPod skips my iTunes' purchased music after a few days. When I connect my iPod to the iMac again the songs are back on my iPod but only for a couple of days.
Can some of you help me out to solve this problem?

The same thing happens to me, and unfortunately, it almost always seems to happen at the worst times (getting on a long plane flight.)
I've done a lot of research on this topic in the Apple Discussions groups, and have tried all the suggested remedies:
(1) Re-setting ipod
(2) Re-loading music
(3) Updating firmware, software
Net/net, when you update your iPod, and connect to iTunes, or do any of above, it will work for a little while, and then it will just start skipping purchased music again.
I believe this must be result of defective players, or bug in some of players, as not everyone has this problem (my wife's works fine) - but based on number of comments re. this problem I see on this forum, many people do, and Apple should offer exchange.

Music Skipping while onl

I have been trying to research this problem. I have the Dell factory-installed SB Li've! soundcard, with quadraphonic analog speakers, and a subwoofer. But when I am online, if I play music (iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media, etc) the music skips like an old LP, usually when the cache updates. I have tried updating drivers, to no avail. I swapped the network card to another PCI slot (moved it further away from the sound card), also to no avail. Games do not do this, video does not skip - just music. Does not matter if it's MP3, wav, AAC, or any other format. It's not the music files, as when they're played on another computer, or burned to CD, or transferred to the iPod, they're fine. If I disable the LAN, music plays FINE. What gives?
Thanks for any help
mm

Dell says it's the card, did I upgrade firmware/drivers (yes). I have added a secondary IDE controller card (for 2nd HD and Zip dri've), a firewire card for iPod and video camera, replaced the video card to nVidia Gforce FX 5500 8x AGP for dual monitor support (which works beautifully, btw..) Upgraded RAM memory to GB. The symptoms were present when I took this machine out of the box, and have not gotten better or worse with the additional hardware. It's a dell dimension 8200, .7 GHz, 400MHz FSB. Win XP SP2. Maybe you have some ideas?
thx
