Slideshow music skips

After burning a slideshow i noticed that the music and video "stutters" at 8min and 58 seconds. 9 min also happens to be the length of each title. i have tried the discs on a few dvd players and also on my computer. same results eachtime. is there a way to fix this and or is there a way of changing the pre determined length of a title (if idvd didnt break it self up into titles then the music would not skip).
HELP!!!!
thanks

a dvd has chapters and titles.
So you think a slideshow is a "chapter?" "Chapter" is normally used with movies.
Could it be this?:

i have tried two different brands of dvd-r
one inkjet printable ones that i dont know the name of and sony.
Cheap no-name stuff is worthless when burning DVDs...
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

Music skips during slideshow

Hi,
When I play a slideshow from within iphoto8 the music skips every 10-15 seconds. If I play the same selection in itunes it does not skip. I've tried this with many songs in the off chance that it was the one song but it does it with every song I tried. Apple just replaced my power supply thinking it was defective but it did not cure the problem. I have plenty of space on my hard drive if that matters. Any one else have this problem?

>> Did you tried an other USB stick?<< - Yes, several
>>Perhapst you can shorten the fade in / out of the pictures a little bit.<< - I will try that next!
>>small buffer in the Vizio << I need it to work for all large flat screen TV's because it is going to be marketed as a big screen slideshow
The thing is that if I just play the soundtrack on the TV, it works fine with no skipping. I am wondering if my images might be too large. They are all 300 DPI JPG's and about 5,000 pixels at about 10 megabytes, and there are 276 of them for playing the video for about 40 minutes.
I could convert the mp3 to mp4a and add that format as the soundtrack.
Thanks for all of your input,
Allen

IDVD music skips during slideshows

hey guys
I'm on leopard and iLife 09 (also iLife 07 on another mac but has same issue)
I've read some articles that tell me the reason for music skipping on iDVD is it will only handle 99 chapters.
Can someone advise if this problem would still occur if the slideshow was made using different software OR how to get around the music skipping issue.
I am aware you can export a slideshow from iPhoto but the quality is not the same as in iDVD and iMovie simply takes far to long to create a slideshow.
Thanks for your help!
Sammy

The same problem has been bugging me too. Seems 99 IS the limit. If you want each slide to show for say 3 seconds then you need a piece of music that last 297 seconds for those 99 images. If your music last say 300 secs (5 minutes) the I use GarageBand and start to fade it from say 290secs and split it at 297secs and delete the last bit. Then I add another track that last for the remainder, so if you have 150 images in total you need something that will last for 150 x 3 secs and fade again if necessary. I think the trick is to multiply 99 by the length of time you want each image to show and then import music pieces into GarageBand.
You are using 5 minutes music for 150 images. That’s only 2 secs per image! Are you stuck with that time limit?
In your case, with 150 images at 4 seconds each you’d need 10 minutes in total, composed of 99x4 secs (6mins 36secs) and another piece that lasts 3mins 24secs or thereabouts, or that you fade out after that time. Then when your pieces of music are ready, save them across to iTunes (share) and import from there. Or just play the same piece of music a second time. Not ideal, but it’s the only solution I’ve been able to come up with so far.

Music skips before each and every slide

Hi there. I have been burning a number of slideshows with iDVD and putting playlists from iTunes to them. No matter which DVD player I play them on at each transition (the split second before) the music skips a beat or two. I'm sure this is similar to the problem discussed yesterday in a different post, but that post talked about the skip happening once at the 8 min 58 sec. mark. This is happening throughout. These are long slideshows - so that's a different issue though. Also, to help the discussion go farther - faster - a few other notes:
The DVD plays the WORST on my computer.
I am using Apple and Verbatim DVD's.
I have tried all different music from iTunes.
The skipping also happens on the menu page.
I am NOT an iDVD expert. These 10 or dvd's are my first. I am dragging an album into iDVD and editing it there.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong to be getting this continual skip?

Yes, today I am using Verbatim DVD-R with up to 16x speed.
iDVD may be recording "too fast." Burning the disk image will give you control over that.
How do I create a Disk image?
Sorry...
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Burned DVD stops or music skips at 100th chapter

I am creating a slideshow with music in iDVD. When playing the burned dvd the music skips or the dvd stops at the 100th picture. Any fix for the problem? I noticed that iDVD automatically assigns each picture its own chapter so it could be the 100th chapter that causes the problem. If so, is there any way to have more than 1 picture per chapter?
Thanks for your help!

The 99 photos was because, as the original poster indicates, each photo is a chapter and the Video DVD standard (nothing to do with Apple, but the industry standard) is 99 chapters max. These days many players will play past 99 chapters, but many others, especially older ones, the strictly conform to the DVD standard balk when there are more than 99 chapters.
So while iDVD will now allow slide shows past 99 photos, if you want your DVD to be compatible with the most set top players, you are better off limiting your slideshow to no more than 99 photos. If you want more, then you want to create your slideshow manually in iPhoto or iMovie and place your own chapter markers keeping the number of chapters under 100.

Slideshow music stalls after each image

hello
using idvd 08 and have slideshow of 130 images on dvd..plays ok on mac, but terrible on tv...colours fade in and out, music skips at each slide...
im burning using pro quality, should i select something else?
and any way to make the images full screen??
im even thinking that maybe its like the old PC's days that you ant do anything else on the computer as the disc is being made....
nightmare.....should i maybe even try making the dvd on my mac pro....but im told my mac book pro is all sining and dancing....
thanks for any advice

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's a little dimple in the horizontal bar below the window with the iTunes library icon. Click and drag down to reveal the playlists and individual tracks.

Music skips on Windows 8.1 64-bit with iTunes 12.1

Okay, this is probably going to sound strange, but its true.....
When I am listening to music in iTunes 12.1 and I have Google Chrome opened, the music skips. I can open any other application and not have that problem, just only when Chrome is opened. Needless to say, I switched to Firefox and now the music does not skip. Has anyone else experienced this?
My PC specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
AMD A6-3620 (4 CPUs) ~ 2.2GHz
NVidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti (4GB memory) Dedicated Graphics Card
8GB RAM
Sound Blaster Audigy Fx Dedicated Sound Card
1920x1080 screen resolution

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

Hello:
I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

PLEASE HELP - MORE & MORE MUSIC SKIPPING!

I started with a small problem a year ago and now more and more music skips - I update as offered so I have the lastest version all the time. Can you help?

Hi iwahdn,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It can be frustrating when files go missing. You may want to follow the steps in this article to verify that the music files are still on your computer:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

You can also use the steps in this article to troubleshoot iTunes if songs are skipping:

IPhoto 5 slideshow music still available after upgrade to iPhoto6?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto6 and see that the default slideshow music has changed. I'd still like to use the iPhoto5 default music - does anyone know if this should still be available?

iLife 6 installs a new bunch of sounds, tunes, Garageband loops, etc. as well as the older ones. I believe you will be very impressed with the assortment that Apple provides (/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects Folder). I know I was!

Music Skips

Ok gang, here we go.
When playing purchased music or imported music, the music skips initially and then skips some without cpu load, or vigorously with cpu load (such as starting control panel, firefox, or any other program).
I've done the following (all as of 5/21/07):
- updated bios, and all windows updates
- updated directx
- updated sound drivers (conexant)
- updated quicktime
- changed to WaveOut and 16bit in Quicktime Prefs
- changed to full hardware acceleration
- defragged
- deloused (adaware, windows defender, etc)
- disk cleanup
There are 1.3GB of imported songs, 800MB of purchased music, and 2.8GB of podcasts.
I've run network and cd/dvd diagnostics which returned the following results...
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Any other suggestions? If its feasible to revert to Itunes 6.x, then could someone please give detailed instructions to do so.
Thanks for your help.

Slideshow music from iTunes

I can't see separate tracks in my iTunes (5.0.4) library when selecting background music for an iPhoto slideshow. I have tried the two options suggested in iPhoto Help (on involves recreating the musi9c library), but neither resolve the issue. I can see and select separate albums within the library, but can't see or select specific individual tracks. Any suggestions?

HI Richard,
Take a look at the links and video clips to see if they might help.
How about these screenshots...

3.Move dimple down
4. Click Playlist

HELP. new version of itunes made my music skip

I down loaded itunes 7 and now all my music skips/jumps. Any help PLEASE.
Thanks

let's first try working through the suggestions from the following document:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly

I've never had problems with iTunes, but I recently moved to a SSD and now music skips.

Howdy all. I've recently replaced my Analog HDD with a Solid State drive, (Samsung 840 250GB) which is so much faster, but only problem now is when listening to iTunes, I notice serious skipping. I have reinstalled drivers for chipset, audio, optimized the BIOS, yet still experience skips while under processor load, and also when system is only playing audio. I had no problems with this prior to the SSD and all was solid. I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail. I'm running a Dell Latitude E6500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 4GB DDR2 667. The SSD is a Samsung MZ-7TD250. All else on the machine is rock solid. Any advice on this? iTunes version is 11.0.4.4.

I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.
