Skipping music at the start of songs

Does anyone else find that when playing music from itunes7 that it skips at the start of each song? Me and my flat mate both have the same problem with our music sounding like scratched vinyl every time a song begins. It doesnt happen in any other player, Iv'e been using real player for my ipod/music, with the same music library.
Does anyone know a quick way to solve this problem?

  • My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

    Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
    Restart phone (you already did this)
    Reset phone
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    See appendix B of the User Guide for details
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
    If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described.  Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
    Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8.  It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

  • Anyone else having trouble pausing and skipping music from the lock screen?

    I usually listen to music in the mornings and when I go to pause my music or change the song it simply won't work unless I go into my phone and use theistic icon to pause it or skip it.

    it works fine  on my  phone. try to check access Settings- Control center - make sure Access on Lock Screen and Access within Apps are On. while on lockscreen mode, try swiping up from the bottom of the screen to view control center. try to play a song, then swipe it down to hide the control center. u will see there music playing while on the lockscreen and can pause it from there.. hope this will help.

  • ITunes hangs for 15 seconds at the start of songs

    Hi,
    My iTunes is hanging for 15 seconds at the beginning of songs and videos, and is driving us crazy. It seems to hunt around for something, but have no idea what. iTunes is on an internal hard drive. For some reason this doesn't happen when I run the files through Apple TV. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    hi,
    according to your profile, you're running OS X 10.5.4. if that is correct, get the 10.5.8 combo updater from here http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate.
    repair premissions using *disk utility* before and after running the installer. next, check *software update* from the  menu and install any updates offered.
    if you +just didn't update+ your profile, try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then download the current version from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    also, check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
    please post back with results.

  • "Scratch" Playback sound at the start of songs/when cycling through menus

    Yesterday I decided to activate genius on my new laptop. Today, I noticed a "scratching" noise appear in the first few sconds of playback, and when cycling through the menus, (from music to itunes store, to ipod, etc.). After looking at some of the discussions here, and deciding my problem wasnt being covered, I tried a couple things and managed to sort this out personally:
    Simply:
    1) Open windows sound manager.
    2) Scroll down to find itunes - "page load complete".
    3) Test sound to ensure it's the scratching sound corrupting playback.
    4) Set sound to "none".
    5) Apply changes.
    I then realised some people may not consider this solution, so posted it up here.
    hope this helps.

    It's usually from 3rd party VI's not clearing the buffer from a previous note when bouncing.
    Yes it's still in L8.
    I leave a few bars of blank space at the beginning and before I bounce while the seq is still playing, I manually keep looping those blank bars by clicking the playhead at bar 1 BEFORE it starts to play the track again. When I don't hear anymore ring out, I bounce.
    Seems kinda silly, but that's what works. I was really hoping they'd fix this or not let the plugins pass the AU exam if they can't clear the buffers. That would motivate the 3rd parties to update pretty quick if that really is the problem.

  • Is it possible to create folders of music in the new z

    im thinking of buying the new Zen 8GBand the main thing that bother me is the categorized musici want to know if is it possible to create new folders with the newest music i uploaded with various of artistsand not let the mp3 player to categorize and mix the music with the old artists songs...i hope ur getting the picture haha?thank you

    Well, the new Zen comes with the SD card and if you want it to play based on folders, you can load your music up on the SD card in the respecti've folders then on the Zen use the 'Memory Card' option and select 'Browse Folder' and select the folder to play.
    I actually find the concept of not integrating the SD card to the internal albums to be a great plus point for this machine.
    I hate it especially for my own recordings or those albums with mismatched ID3 tags and the songs are all over the place. The SD card option solves this own problem.

  • My iphone misbehaves when I play music.  It starts and stops, skips to the next or previous song, voice control pops on and off.  Usually this starts about 1/2 hour into playing music.  I just replaced phone thinking it was hardware related but it persist

    I recently replaced my iphone thinking this would fix the problem but it still occurs.  I use EXACTLY the same playlists I use on my ipod and the skipping, misbehaving only occurs on my iphone, never on my ipod.  With the new phone I am running OS6.
    Any suggestions?

    I’ve read reports from many other iTunes users who are having the same issue I am.  Please read on...
    When listening to songs that I purchased from iTunes (as opposed to those I imported from CD), several, but not all, of them stop playing prematurely several seconds (or even minutes) before the end of the tune.  Playback jumps immediately to the beginning of the next tune. 
    I noticed this, I believe, shortly after moving my iTunes library to a new iMac (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB memory) running iTunes 10.5.3 (3) on Mac OS 10.7.3.  Everything was fine before the move.
    Of the 283 purchased songs in my iTunes library, about 100 of them exhibit this behavior.  The song playback times at which this happens range from 2:14 to 5:19.
    What is interesting, is that tunes from the same album all end at the same playback time!  For example, I purchased the whole album “River - The Joni Letters” (Herbie Hancock’s album covering a number of Joni Mitchell tunes).  Every song from that album now stops playing at 3:39.  The same happens with other tunes that happen to be from the same album, too.  I have no idea why this would be the case, but it certainly seems significant.
    Another interesting finding, is that if I copy one of tunes exhibiting this issue to the desktop and play it from there, the song plays all the way through to the end without a problem.  This would, I think, rule out a corrupt file and tend to point to iTunes itself as the source of the problem.
    The problem certainly is annoying, and it would be great if we could find some resolution and get back to enjoying our music without the mind-jarring bump that too often now happens without warning.
    Sincerely,
    Michael Loomis

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music.  Is this a feature or a defect?  I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

    To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

    restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

  • Music that plays perfectly fine in my library will skip around within the song on ipod.

    Every song begins halfway through, then skips back to the beginning, then skips to the end, and then back to the middle until the song's time runs out. Then it will go onto the next and repeat the same thing. It's getting rather frustrating and I can't seem to find anyone else who is having similar issues. All I can find is people who have problems with the ipod skipping the songs themselves, but not each individual song skipping or stuttering around like this. It is every single song I add. I have the ipod touch 4th gen. I'd just like to know what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have recently purchased an album from iTunes but although I see it in my music library none off the songs play they just skip through to the next one repeatedly. I since downloaded another song and this work perfectly

    Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store?  Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

  • Ipod skips to middle of next song instead of the start

    when my ipod moves to the next song at the end of the previous song, or is skipped forward to the next song, it will sometimes start playing the next song either 30 seconds or sometimes over a minue into the song. This seems to be happening when it is on shuffle. I've tried resetting it but its still happening. Any suggestions? Its only a couple of weeks old (and happens to be a warranty replacement for my last 5th gen ipod who's headphone jack didn't work properly). Have i been given a dud?

    Hello all... i was having a horrible issue with my iPhone seemingly shuffling at random. So frustrating until I turned off the "shake to shuffle" option... I think most new iPods and iPhones have this feature in settings... good luck.

  • WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
    Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
    This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
    I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
    I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    thanx
