Songs glitches when played

I'm playing music from my iTunes library, and all of a sudden, the song glitches...
Example: song plays... and starts to sound like a damaged cd.... It's awesome when I'm working on odd meter timing with my drums... but, irritating..
Any suggestions?

Congratulations on fixing your problem. I wish I could say the same.
I pinned my hopes on a new MicroSD card that was specifically supposed to work well with smartphones: A SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 32GB. The packaging proudly announces: "Works with Windows Phone".
Still keeps doing the same glitching trick.
In fact it's decided to throw a few more problems in just for fun. Most songs appear twice in the track list. When I started to test it, it played a couple of tracks then stopped. When I switched on the phone to see what was happening, it started again. At the end of the next track it stopped again, and I couldn't turn the phone on again until I'd removed the battery. Now there are 3 copies of most songs. Having played a dozen tracks or so with occasional glitches it just stopped dead in the middle of a song.
I won't bore you with the rest but I've just reset the phone using the Volume Down and Power buttons. Instead of fixing a problem, I appear to have created a flakey, unstable monster.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

ITunes 8 & 9 - Half-second glitch when playing music

Recently, I have noticed a half-second glitch when I have iTunes on shuffle. The first song I play plays perfectly fine, but every song after the first has a half-second glitch about 1 second into playing the song. I don't remember exactly when I started because I often just play music as background noise at home. I did upgrade to 10.6 on my MacBook Pro last month when it came out. I have NEVER had any problems like this before on my Mac. I thought upgrading to iTunes 9 would help with the issue, but it hasn't. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to do to resolve this issue? I'm somewhat new to a Mac and haven't learned the in's and out's yet. Thanks!

I have a similar issue. Everything was fine with iTunes 8 but when I got 9 my songs just wont play. They play like one note then just stop for 5 minutes. Then they might play for a few more seconds then they just stop.
I don't think its a problem with my internet because all my music is like this, not just the internet stream music.
Any help would be great.

My "older" songs stutter when played back

my pc is only 6 months old, but the first songs i downloaded from the itunes store
"stutter" when played back. they don't stutter on my ipod, and the more recenlty
downloaded songs are also ok. i have deleted them, reloaded from the ipod, updated
itunes, all to no avail. any ideas?

First a correction. I am using the latest version of FCP – 5.
Regarding the encoding, I have tried going from native HDV MPEG-2 to H.264 at 720P from 10 to 4 MB at 24, 30 and 29.97. The Mac seems to play everything back very well, but most PCs (the latest IBM T 40 – 43 series laptops) a couple of Dell desk tops (2.6 GHZ with 64 and 128 MB graphic cards) and a 3.2 GHz Shuttle PC with a 128 MB graphic card (that we routinely use to decode four MPEG-4, 4CIF images simultaneously and display on a 42” ED Plasma) choke/stutter to varying degrees with processor utilization hitting 100%.
So, the real issue here is what is the difference between a 720p trailer that I can download from Apple and what I can output using Compressor 2 at a similar data rate – other than the frame rate?
And why does the Compressor output stutter on most PCs?

!s by songs disappear when played

The latest iTunes issue is that, after moving all my songs to iCloud (i have iTunes Match) and removing them my Macbook, an ! shows up by the song. When I go to play the song, I am asked if I want to locate the song. I hit Cancel, the song plays, and the ! disappears.
Do I have to do this for every song now? The !s are scattered randomly in my large iTunes library.

I don't have iTunes Match and don't use iCloud so I can't speak for that. Normally if you see a ! by a song it means iTunes has a reference for it but the actual file was missing when iTunes last checked (usually at startup). If you click on it and it suddenly plays it means the file has reappeared. A common situation for this is where somebody has media on an external drive and their library files on the internal drive. They start up iTunes without the external drive fully mounted and iTunes doesn't see the files, but then they start the drive and when you click on the track and iTunes has another look it is suddenly there and plays. I know you didn't say this was your scenario but maybe there's something else going on similar to this. Do you manually manage media, or keep media on separate volumes?
How did you remove the files from your Macbook? Again, I don't have Match but I thought some other icon would appear for those songs.

By the way, I hope you have your files archived on a drive at home too. Match is a convenience feature but not a place to store your only copy of music.

Premiere Pro CC has a BUG (glitches) when playing XDCAM EX and XDCAM footage

I work with XDCAM EX footage and since I upgraded to CC all the footage now plays with glitches. Sometimes it just shows green. In addition to it the audio goes out of sync if you continue playing.
I did some research and other people are reporting the same issue but with XDCAM footage.
Adobe, please fix this bug. I can't edit anything like this. Also in the mean while let us, creative cloud members reinstall CS6. I can't just sit for days waiting for a fix.
I'll try a doing a clean reinstall of everytjing in the computer but if issue this persists, by tomorrow I'll have to switch back to Final Cut X.

Maybe Adobe needs to expand it's beta program before release.
Adobe Premiere
Multicam edits switch angles when relaunching a project in Premiere CC (probably best to do multicam edits in CS6 for now)
More multicam quirks
Update 7-1-13: Adobe has posted a candid response to the multicam bugs.
Match frame may not match to the correct clip
Keyboard Shortcut panel is blank
Audio dropouts, possibly due to image sequences
Pressing M twice in the source panel adds a second marker instead of editing the first
Visual corruption when playing XDCAM media
Several reports of Effects Panel lag
Premiere CC still losing render files
Timecode is not preserved when sending to SpeedGrade
Labels can disappear in CS6
Importing media files first and then importing an XML can prevent freezes for large XML files

Ipad seems to have glitch when playing music in itunes and other music apps

When using the generic music player on my ipad it often freezes for upto 20seconds when i wish to play another song. this usually happens when i try to change track while the previous song is still playing.
Will there be a fix for this?

Hello TheDonsCheek,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

Songs Have a Glitch when playing them back

I Order a lot of Song Tracks on Itunes but often they will have a digital glitch or skip while playing the songs back. I can't very well use them to do a concert with.. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to the problem? Also the quality seems very poor like low volume etc..

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash, or if this is on the iPad delete the tracks there. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Bleeping/Glitches when playing music in iTunes

Hi,
Just the last couple of days i have noticed when i am playing music from iTunes on my 15" Mid 2010 Macbook Pro, I am getting intermittent digital noises like bleeping and weird audio glitches.
It is almost like an 8 bit type song which are so popular these days!
Now i know its not the encoding of the music as its happening on all different tracks when listening on random. It is also happening when i listen on headphones, through speakers connected through jack or through the built in speakers.
At present it is intermittent and will get progresively worse during a song and then I could skip and it will stop again.
I have never ex[erience anything like this before with an apple product. At present i am not seeing any visual glicthes when watching video and the laptop does not appear to be acting up in any other way, which hopefully means its not a logic board issue.
Anybody ever heard of or experienced this before? Can anybody help out?
The laptop is obviously not under warranty anymore otherwise i would just take it in, but at present i'm hoping i can diagnose and sort the problem with the aid of the the internet!
Any help/suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks

Front Row glitching when playing music

I don't know which version of Leopard it was when this started, but I really noticed it after the 10.5.2 update. Basically, as the title indicates, Front Row is glitching, and locking my computer up while playing music. I often hook my laptop up to my TV and surround system (sometimes just the surround system) as a way to listen to music, as the laptops speakers just don't cut it when trying to enjoy music. After hooking it up to the sound system via the headphone out jack, I start Front Row with the remote, and click on music -> shuffle songs and let it do its thing. For a while -- maybe 30 minutes -- it works fine, album artwork showing up and doing its thing, but after a short time, all I see is the song's progress bar, frozen and the album artwork missing; however, the music can still be heard. Once this happens, I can't do anything at all. Trying to quit FR doesn't work, any key-presses go un-recognized and the only way to get out is to hold the power button until the computer shuts off.
This is really annoying because I use FR instead of iTunes when hooked up this way, simply because I need a nice big interface for when I'm at the other end of the room. To have the application freeze like this is just a pain in the butt.
My question is this, is it a known or common issue to have? If so, I guess I'll just have to wait till a fix comes out, but if not, does anybody know what the problem is, and how I can stop this from happening?

Ok, now I am on FR 1.3.1 and all crashes are gone! If you do this (see thread in this forum) be careful with the Software Update feature, it detects the old version and offers FR 2.x every time ...

Songs skip when playing on itunes

Is anyone else having problems with their songs skipping on itunes (both saved audio files and audio cds) when they play fine on other players like windows media player. My itunes was working fine until about two weeks ago when the program seemed to create havic on my computer. It killed my internet explorer, then itunes and quicktime wouldn't uninstall on my computer. Finally removed programs using windows cleanup utility program. Have installed/ uninstalled program several times since with no luck. The songs keep skipping and slowing down. Even tried updating drivers. Seems to play fine as long as I'm not running anyother program on the computer, but as soon as I run another program or even minimize/ maximize the itunes media player skipping starts (even though only using like 4% computer power). Even tried installing stand alone quicktime player. Nothing works. The apple techs have to be the worst support on the planet. Sent hrs on the phone with them. Please help or let me know if u are having similar problems. Thanks Tom

I've had problems as well. I get "crackling" when I play songs using iTunes. When it happens, it appears that the program is getting bogged down because the mouse doesn't move smoothly across the screen. I've been trying many ways of troubleshooting it including the "waveout" option and keep coming up empty. I've tested identical tracks on Windows Media Player and found them to play perfectly on WMP. What is also baffling is that I can still burn playlists using iTunes and then play the burned CD on another computer or CD player with no sound problems whatsoever. Someone suggested it could be connected to compatibility with a Windows update like Service Pack 2 for WINXP, but I know for a fact the program was fine when SP2 was installed.
Here's a brief history of my troubleshooting:
Everything with my system was working fine.
Computer was getting bogged down playing Sim City, games on pogo.com, and itunes was crackling.
Left for work one day and iTunes was working. Came home the next day and the program dumped EVERYTHING. It did not carry a single song in the library and all 52 playlists were gone even though all files were still sitting in the iTunes folder as they always were. Each playlist xml file I found and opened with Notepad showed only the playlists that come with the program and nothing I had created. I'm assuming this issue occurred because of a corrupted xml library file or there was a conflict with my old 20GB hard drive that used to house the old OS and program files (that hard drive has since been wiped).
Did major utitility maintenance: 3 Spyware programs, 2 antivirus, Norton Utlities Disc Cleanup/defragged/etc and what little spyware found were cookies.
I considered that there may be files corruption, so I tried playing mp3 tracks from the library using Windows Media Player and had no sound problems at all!! Of course, the majority of my library is in apple's aac fomat.
I also decided to see what would happen if I burned a CD through iTunes. The CD works great!
I also get crackling when I play CDs through the CD Rom with iTunes and do not when I use Windows Media Player.
I also considered that it was a specific format causing the issue: mpeg layer 3 or 4. Songs crackle across the board.
Uninstalled iTunes again. Downloaded and installed iTunes 5 today. Songs still crackle!
I also used regedit and ccleaner to clean up the computer as well. Still no luck.

Songs skip when playing...

I have windows xp and a new HP laptop. I downloaded the latest itunes and imported songs from a itunes library and some cds. When I play from the library, the songs skip or "hiccup" occasionally which is very annoying! Any suggestions?

Same thing is happening to me. I work at home and listen to iTunes all day. My computer and iTunes have replaced my stereo and I have enjoyed great music using iTunes for the past two years until I upgraded to iTunes 7. I recently upgraded to 7.0.2.16 thinking it was a patch to fix the problem, have done all the suggested Quick Time settings changes and I'm still experiencing the skipping. It's not quite as bad as it was at first, however it's still there, skipping at the beginning at about every third song played. In fact while writing this, the jazz song currently playing started by skipping for a few seconds. Quite annoying! Apple - how can you fix??????

¿Safari glitch when playing fullscreen videos?

iPad Air 2 iOS 8.1.2
Every video I watch full-screen in Safari:
the video plays correctly but never ends (black screen)
The only way to be able to keep using Safari is a force quit.
Any thoughts? Is this a known issue?
thanks for the help!

Songs 'jumping' when playing in iTunes 7 !

Hi - Has anyone else had this problem - songs playing in iTunes 7 sometimes jump or skip forward by about a second.
I never had this problem before updating ! Anyone know how to solve this ?
Thanks

In iTunes, click on Help > About iTunes.
If it's iTunes 7.0.0 update to iTunes 7.0.1
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Part of the update's purpose was to address this issue.
If you already have iTunes 7.0.1, or if the update doesn't fix the issue, try this article:

Certain purchased songs skip when playing

I have been purchasing albums and singles lately, and some of them play for around 40s and then skip to the next song? Is there any way of fixing this?

Nope. I recreated the library, resynched my iPod. The songs still skip. I'm beginning to think it has to do with the fact that I synch my iPod to a specific playlist and not my music library. I may try restoring my iPod and individually copying the songs from the library to my shuffle. Either that, or just get rid of the songs off my iPod that skip..since all they do is aggravate me!
Thanks for trying.
