Skipping/stuttering in itunes may in fact be a bigger problem..?

so, i've been over in the itunes forum for the last couple weeks digging around for a fix to an issue i've had with that app since upgrading to 7.6 for movie rentals.
specifically, it's SEVERE skipping & stuttering of audio & video files in itunes, irrespective of whether they've been purchased on ITMS or ripped from my personal collection.
i think there may be a connection, though, with QT, since i upgraded that to 7.4 at the same time. well, fast forward to tonight when i clicked on a link to go to youtube to check out something a buddy sent me...guess what? skipping video and audio for every single youtube video i selected. have gone to other streaming media sites and...voila! same thing.
it's apparent that the playback issue is a large one, or at least bigger than itunes for me...so was interested in whether anyone here has been experiencing something similar.
this didn't exist before "leopard + QT 7.4 + itunes 7.6"
btw, the update to itunes 7.6.1 did not alleviate the issue.

agreed. could've written that better. was attempting to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the problem...
affected media:
- video & audio in itunes (m4p & m4v)
- video & audio in quicktime (mpeg)
- video & audio in both safari & firefox (flash)
hoping someone's got a suggestion...

Audugy 2 Platinum Spdif Optical out audio skips/stutters/static/pop/interfere

I have the Audigy Dolby 5. working, blue light from the sony receiver, but when the dvd plays with powerdvd, the picture is fine, but the audio skips and stutters. It works fine when I am decoding via the audigy and analog,?and I have tried powerdvd and windvd and they both have the same issue with spdif, so the issue is with the Optical out and some kind of interference.
Is there anything?I can do?
Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

hey roachmojo,
join the club...i have exactly the same issues as you have...WinXP SP2, Audigy Platinum, Optical In from Sat Recei'ver, Creative Gigaworks 7. analog speakers...
sound skips, stutters, cracks, pops continuously
tried upgrading drivers, but made problem even worse
can't go back to old drivers even with thorough uninstall (registry, driver cleaner pro, manual deletion, etc.)
might be because creative "downgraded" firmware on my card with new drivers
i'm using an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe M/B with Nvidia Nforce audio onbard (heard there's major issues with this)
any help would be appreciated, otherwise it's time to toss this junk out

ITunes skips, stutters, jerky when I minimze

Okay here is the deal. I use to have iTunes 4.9 and it worked fine. When I went to update my iTunes to 6.0 it messed up my computer big time. So I uninstalled 6.0 and installed 4.9. That didn't work. I couldn't go back to the way it was. The problem is when iTunes is open and I try to play music it play fine. However when I go to minimize the program it starts to skip, stutters, plays jerky whatever, it doesn't play like it did on 4.9. It also bogs down my computer. I have over a gig or RAM. So I went to try my other audio player music match and the problem is even worse. I never had this problem before I installed iTunes 6.0. My mouse now disappears randomly when I have too many programs open and iTunes is not open. What ever iTunes did is conflicting with my other programs even when I restart and never open up iTunes.
I am running windows XP home edition SP2.
System Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz
DirectX version: 9.0 or better
Graphics Card Processor: GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
Video BIOS version 4.28.20.05.02
ForceWare version: 81.85
I have Safe mode (waveOut only) checked in QuickTime 7.0.3.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing has change. If anything things got worse. My mouse is even jerky at times.
PLEASE HELP!

hi Michael!
hmmmm. let's try running your XP "Input Devices" troubleshooter. easiest way to find it is to do a Help and Support Search on "list of troubleshooters", and scroll down the list until you see the relevant link.
keep us posted.

Distortion: Skipping Stuttering iTunes

My iTunes works and sounds great until I open another application like Outlook, then it breaks up, skips, stutters, etc.
Anyone encounter/fix this problem?
g

I just experienced this same issue. I'm always listening and using other apps, and have never had a skip or bit of static.
It seems to occur most often to me at least today while copying large files to other volumes.
This has to be a bug, I have a slow G4 800 with 1.5 gig of RAM and this is the firt time I have ever noticed this.
Since the version hasn't changed, and I am always multitasking while rocking out I would tend to think it has to be something I added. Come to think of it I added the 6.5 to 7.x MPEG2 plugin for QT last night.
I think I'll start there unless someone else finds somethng.

Apogee Duet FireWire skipping/stuttering audio

I've bought Apogee Duet FireWire back in 2011 when I had another macbook pro and I believe it was OS X Lion powered. The problem started since I updated to Mountain Lion and next upgrades were the same. There was a time when it was not very clean if the drivers at the official apogee's site are fresh enough. But now I have OS X Yosemite and fresh drivers that claim to be for this system. As to hardware, since Apogee had only FW400 wire, later I bought FW800 wire, and then FW800<->ThunderBolt adapter. So now I use this connection: Duet -> FW400/FW800 wire -> FW800/ThunderBolt adaptor -> MacBook Pro. The audio is working normal in 80% of time, but otherwise there are stutterings of the sound. Is there a way to get rid of this problem? Thank you.

I just started having problems with my Duet this afternoon and found this thread so I thought I'd give a shout out to you guys to see if you have any ideas before talking with the company....
I've had my Apogee Duet since about feb and never had any problems until this afternoon. For some reason the Duet doesn't seem to want to interface with my computer at all anymore. When plugged in, the lights light up on the Duet however under system profiler I get the "unable to list firewire devices" error msg. Under the Sound tab in preferences, the Duet is not listed as an available I/O. In the Apple Midi Setup or whatever it's called in utilities, the icon for the Duet is still there but it doesn't show it as online. I can still press the big button and the little green light cycles through input 1/input 2 yada yada yada, but the computer doesn't seem to see it. When I open up Maestro, both the control and mixer screens are completely blank. I've tried resetting the unit (holding button down for 5 seconds), using different firewire cords, and finally uninstalling and reinstalling the Maestro software (using the Duet software - May 2008 link on apogees site) and none of these things solve the problem. I haven't had a chance to plug in another FW400 device into my Macbook Pro to see if it's a problem with the port, but I get the same result with the Duet on my MBP and my G5 PPC tower, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the unit. Also, since it's bus-powered, the lights wouldn't light up if the ports on the computer were fried, right?? Has this happened to anyone else?? Any ideas on how to fix it before calling up Apogee?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bug Report: Probable Cause of Stuttering in iTunes v7.0.2.16 -- Crossfade

Has anyone ever tried to send a bug report into Apple? I've looked all over and can't find anything that would let me send in a bug report.
I think I have tracked down one of the issues with stuttering in iTunes v7.0.2.16 Its in the crossfading in the play back options. If I disable crossfading, gone is the stuttering and cpu hogging at the start of a track. The length of the stuttering, how far it goes into the next track, is the length of the crossfade. Also, has anybody else noticed that with the stuttering comes a maxing out of the CPU? While typing this my computer will go unresponsive when iTunes starts a new track and stutters and I can watch the CPU Usage History spike during the attempted crossfade.
I hope that Apple finds this and it is a help in fixing the issue as I really do like iTunes. And if anyone knows how to send this on to Apple as a proper bug report, just post a comment letting me know and I will do it.
And lastly, any comments showing the reproduction of this evidence would probably be helpful to Apple in resolving this issue.

Okay Chris...
I've double and triple checked all of the bullet points in your troublshooter document, and all is in good order.
I found that my Direct X was out of date, and got excited when I upgraded it and started playing tunes. For about 5 or six tracks, there was not any skipping during the crossfade, but alas, the problem is still there, and still garbles the tunes at the very end and release of the crossfade.
Not ALL tunes, just a certain intermitant few.
FYI, this bug was never an issue until v7.0 was released. Crossfading in previous versions was not a problem, until now. So there must have been something that has changed, from the previous to this release, and my assumption is the gapless playback. Just a guess, as it is new.
Any other thoughts as to the cause? And beter yet... the solution?
I sincerely would like to keep using iTunes as my default music player...

Songs skipping/stuttering

It's only been happening for the past day or so, but while I'm listening to songs, whether iTunes is open or in mini-player mode, the songs will randomly start skipping/stuttering. Is there any way to fix this other than re-installing iTunes?

I have a similar problem. After changing the battery, I can barely hear my podcasts even at the highest volume level while I have no problem with the volume of the songs. However, some of my songs are warbled. The warbled songs are no from the same album. I also did the R's.
Help appreciated.

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 ...

Audio is stuttering in iTunes and Finder

This is a long post, sorry, but I want to try and be specific as possible. I am stumped, frustrated and at my wits end... any advice/help would be killer!
So, idk what happened, but as of a few days ago (3 to 4 days) my G5 has been stuttering (for lack of a better description) when playing back audio via iTunes or through the Finder window. The 'stuttering' is multiple pauses throughout a song... like 50+ times, making it choppy and unable to play straight through. It's maddening to say the least.
The weekend before Xmas, some Diet Sprite was accidentally spilled in the front of my machine while I was not home. Apparently the machine made some beeps, 'smelled funny', yellow and red LED lights turned on and the machine was promptly unplugged. When I came home 3-4 days after the spill, all was well with the machine until a few days ago when this audio problem started.
I thought perhaps being that the RAM is up front in the machine that the soda could have corrupted the RAM. I ran the Apple Hardware Test with the DVD install disc that came with the computer and 3 hours later, the RAM (as well as all hardware) passed. Same when I ran Tech Tool Deluxe. When I ran Disc Utility, everything checked out fine too. System Profiler recognizes all the RAM as well.
Some things to take into consideration:
-I can use Adobe CS2 Suite apps perfectly. No performance issues at all.
-I have a 2TB RAID external HD which houses my music that iTunes feeds from. Even if I play audio via the Finder window from music files on my Desktop, it still 'stutters.' So it stutters no matter if the audio file resides on the external HD or internal HD.
-I have NOT tried playing music through my iTunes with music located on my desktop HD. I have about 400+ gb worth of music and being iTunes is as slow as it is, call me lazy, but I don't want to discard my library and reload a few albums to see if the 'stutter' problem doesn't happen.
-Music playback is PERFECT if I stream my iTunes to my PC laptop or any other laptops in the house. No 'stuttering.'
-After I ran the Safari update, this problem arose (to best of my memory)
Specs of the computer are: G5 Dual 2.3ghz + 5gb RAM running 10.4.11 with no available updates to install.
Again, if anyone has any idea or anyway to possibly solve this, I'd be forever grateful. Thanx!

Open up Console in Applications>Utilities, watch it for errors when these stutters occur.
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Each time I try to watch my itunes U podcast and try to skip forward my itunes freezes and gives me an error report and shuts off, this happens also when I try to convert it to my iPod. How can I fix this problem to be able to use the iTunes U?

Hello, bisco,
This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.

Stuttering on iTunes 12.1.2

I'm noticing a pronounced increase in audio stuttering on iTunes 12.1.2. Hopefully it's due to some background updating related to 10.10.3 and/or Photos that will resolve itself. But just wondering if anyone else is noticing this?

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my problem. My laptop has now had multiple hard drive crashes. 4 to be exact. This last time around I have not downloaded itunes again. My ipod had all my previously purchased music on it as well as copied from CD's. Well the ipod sat for a while and the battery went dead. I recharged the battery and the ipod skips over the itunes songs but not those copied from CD's. Can this be fixed?
I don't want to download itunes and reconnect the ipod because the ipod is already on 4 different hard drives(that no longer exist). I would prefer a different media player than itunes. Any compatible with ipod?
Thanks.

Authorize your iTunes then sync the iPod.

Would you explain?
iPods are not on or linked to hard drives in anyway.

If you have DRM protected songs, no.

Skipping/stuttering in itunes may in fact be a bigger problem..?
