Skips and pauses in Itunes

HI, Last night I watched two episodes of Lost which I had been saving. I just put up with the annoying skips and pauses and just tried to consentrate on what a good series it is and that I am lucky to be able to download and see it. The second one played better no skips and pauses but half wat through I got a broken line across the screen about a quarter of the way up the screen that didn't go away untill the episode ended.
Any word on fixes for Itunes playback?

Do you have 'volume logic' installed if so try removing it, it worked for me

Replacement ipod skipping and pausing songs

Hi,
I paid to have my replaced in january as I had smashed the screen and it was out of warranty but now the replacement continually skips and pauses songs and activates voice control while it is locked. According to apple this new ipod is not under warranty so i would have to pay to get it sent in for repair. I'm currently living in Austria where Apple stores aren't easily accessible so I can't just take it in...Any ideas?
Thanks!

Does Apple provide a warranty on my replacement iPod?

If iPod service is provided outside of warranty, Apple warrants that the replacement iPod will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days from the replacement ship date.

IMovie Project seems to skip and pause very briefly during playback

I am creating a video montage in iMovie '09, though when viewing the project during playback the video does not play smoothly and seems to skip and pause very briefly while continuing to play. Each clip separately played smoothly prior to its addition into my iMovie project.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What kind of clips are these?
Specifically, if you right-click on a clip in the Event Browser and select "Reveal in Finder", then right-click on the clip in the Finder and select "Open with...QuickTime Player, and then hit Command-I in QuickTime Player to open the Inspector Window, what codecs are mentioned next to the word "Format:"?

IPod skips and pauses after update

After updating to the most recent software my iPod Photo (20GB) started acting up.
* I can't automatically update my playlists (Error Message: "This iPod can not be copied to" appears after about a third of the songs have been successfully updated). I can then manually copy the rest of them one by one. Tedious!
* iPod skips and freezes on certain songs
* Resetting, restoring, re-installing software (iPod and iTunes) does not take care of the problem
* Songs play beautifully in iTunes and on my other iPod (nano)
Please help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm afraid I won't be any help to you, but I DO HOPE someone can enlighten us. I am also having this problem and I have just now exchanged my Nano for the second time because of this loose connection. I suspected the earphones immediately. If I lay the iPod on a flat surface 2 feet behind me without arm/hand interferance and sit like a statue without blinking or breaking a smile, I'm good. But once I breath the earphones disconnect. Would I be soo dumb to think it was because I got the Nano Silver instead of the Green? One friend has a Green and the other has Red. They both have "snap in" solid connections. I'm on my third set of earphones and second car transmitter. NOT making any difference. Someone please....do I keep exchanging this thing until I find a "snappy" earphone hole?

Itunes skips and pauses playback of purchased music

I have a Macbook Pro, using 10.5.8, and the most up-to-date itunes (9.2.1). The pauses/skips happen in EVERY song I've purchased from the i-tunes store (this does not happen with music from my CD collection).
My activity monitor has no strange usage (only open programs are itunes, firefox, and text edit).
Any help appreciated, especially as I paid specifically for these songs and would like to be able to hear them!

You are correct, sir. I was confused. I reposted my observations on the Mac side. This thread can be deleted by whomever might be able to do that.

Music skips and pauses during work out

Ciao a tutti,
I like to use my iPhone when I'm working, stapping it to my arm with an XtremMac SportWrap, and listening to my playlists.
I'm running for about 40 minutes and usually about halfway through my workout, or towards the end, the music starts wigging out. It pauses, then skips ahead to the next track, pauses again, on and on. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to hit play again.
After my second trip the Mac Genius he replaced it. But it's now happening to the SECOND ONE!
My fear is that it's a corrupt music file, which would kill me because I have over 20,000 songs in my iTunes. The other possibility is maybe it's heating up too much during my work out. ???
Has anybody had this problem before!

One thing you might take a look at.
be conscience of any moisture getting in the microphone on the earbud cables when your working out.
This could cause the contacts to short out and as a result the music could start pausing, or skipping.
Hope this helps.

IPhone - music skipping and pausing - headset problem?

I've noticed a problem when I've been out on a run with my iPhone. Late in the run the music will stop and start and skip around. I suspect the problem is in the Apple headset. I think sweat is getting into the mouthpiece/pause-advance gismo and sending false signals to the iPhone. I've also noticed (during runs) that the pause-advance feature is inconsistant; sometimes it advances, sometimes not.
I would like to upgrade the headset to the V-Moda Vibe headset as soon as those are available with the call receive/hangup function.
Has anyone else noticed these problems.

that's funny... that just occured to me last night... thought the phone was buggin out so i restored it... shoulda just did a search on the forums... now i have to reinstall all my 3rd party apps...
i was also at the gym sweatin to the oldies when this occurred... and i do believe it's the head set... i understand the pausing and playin, but sometimes the song will change back and forth and what not... very strange behavior....

Skips and Pauses

We use our scroll-wheel iPod as our home stereo, so it sits in its cradle most all the time. Often the iPod will pause briefly after beginning a song, and then resume, leaving a skip in the music. Other times it simply stops playing and goes to the battery charging screen, despite having been in the charger all the while.
We have replaced the iPod twice on warrantee for this behavior. Our third iPod has the same behavior, just as the previous two did. In each case we've been advised to reset the iPod and install the newest software, and the problem has not been solved. If this has happened to me three times in a row, I'm suspecting that others must have experienced the same behavior - am I wrong? Please let me know if you've experienced something similar, and whether you've found a way to remedy it.

If successive iPods have exhibited this same behavior, it may very well be that the way the iPod is used is the issue. It appears that your iPod is switching between charging and playing when you keep it in the cradle, giving you those annoying pauses.
As a fix, you might want to lift your iPod out of its charger as you listen to music. Every once in a while, or just before going to bed, insert your iPod fully into the dock to recharge. I doubt skipping will be an issue.

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. 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

Random Pausing of iTunes Playback aka skipping

Where to start: Playing music via AirTunes and Airport Express - Itunes play back is pausing at random points. Not really skipping. Never had this before. I have restarted to no avail. Over night - I played over an hour without any issues and then without any warning it began pausing again. Happens on both iMac and Powerbook.
Using Airport Extreme as base station.
Any help?

Hi,
We could argue long time on this one. You cannot determine the randomness based on playback statistic unless you are performing significant ammount of trial.
Also, your question was about the odds of having a second song from a same artist within a given period. Therefore, you will have to take into account the number of song you actually have for each artist and going this way, you are less and less talking about randomness rather than listenning to a good variaty of music.
We could argue but, at the end, there's no setting regarding shuffle mode which is your question.
A few years ago, there was such setting to reduce the probability of having a same artist being played twice. At that time, I recall Steve Jobs saying that Apple was trying to make the shuffle less random because user perception is not random. Apple decide some time ago to remove this adjustment (I don't recall the iTunes version).
Anyhow, shuffle mix your songs... I don't see the point of making statistic.

I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why? and how to fix?

I don't recognise the symptoms as such, but here are a couple of things to try.
Check all tracks
Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track to track playback. Go to the Songs view and CTRL-click on an empty checkbox, or CTRL-click on a filled one twice. This will ensure all tracks are checked.
Repair permissions
To make sure that your iTunes folder (or media folder if located separately) has the correct permissions, right-click on the folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but later versions of Windows shouldn't be too different.
You can also clear the Read-Only flag for the entire library from the Properties dialog.
