Songs have glitches and skip during the song

As of version 12.1, my songs skip and glitch and it sounds horrible. Each song (with the exception of a few) stop playing for a split second about 50-100 times during the playing of each song. Most of my music has a bitrate of 320 kbps and sounded perfect and smooth before this update. Now, all of a sudden, it plays songs like I have a cd player and am jogging. Before, the songs in my iTunes and on my ipod sounded smooth. Then I updated to 12.1, synced my ipod, now both in my iTunes and on my smart ipod, it sounds skippy and glitches throughout. What is this? Thank you.

There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio - one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.
By the way, yours is the first example I've seen of iPod playback issues after updating to 12.1. One of the changes in this release does relate to sync processes so you may have discovered a second issue - the one related to playback in iTunes seems to be related to conflicts or incompatibilities with Windows audio services and drivers.

Certain songs have started stopping half way through and skipping to the next track, how do i fix?

Recently I have found the certain songs, and its always the same ones, have started stopping half way thru and skipping to the next track. Even if I manually try and forward thru to the end of the track they wont go beyond half way. Does anyone else have this issue and are there any fixes?

I have figured out a fix. I have deleted the songs in question and then gone to the 'purchased' section in iTunes Store and re-downloaded the tracks and they work fine. Haven't found a problem on a non-downloaded track yet so not sure what fix would be there.

ITunes 10.5 Stops Playing Some songs mid-song and skips to the next

I migrated a friend’s iTunes library from a Win Vistamachine to Windows 7 Home Premium. Not sure what version of iTunes he had onthe Vista setup, but it’s 10.5.1 on the new machine. In the process, I backedup the sizable (6,000+ songs) iTunes library to an external hard drive, andrestored it to the new Win7 machine.
Now about 10% of his songs will start playing and at randomtimes, will skip to the next song without completing.
I found a fix, but it’s pretty tedious – there’s got to be abetter way to fix this. Here are thesteps when a song stops playing and jumps to the next:
Locate     the song in Windows.
Copy     it to the desktop (or another safe spot)
Delete     the song from iTunes, selecting the option to remove it from the hard     drive.
Cut     the song from the desktop and paste it back in the folder where it came     from
In     iTunes: File>Add Folder to     Library… Navigate to the folder and add it.
Once the song is added back to the library, it plays justfine.
This solution works for identified files. However, with6,000+ songs in a library and no way to determine which files are affected on amacro level, this really is not a solution.
There is no noticeable pattern. This seems to happen toabout 10% of the files in the library. One particular song (Foo Fighters: The Pretender) was duplicated on the harddrive and in the iTunes library. BOTHversions of the song stop playing with 0:21 remaining and skip to the nextsong. However, another song in thelibrary stops playing at 1:01.
Some of the troubled files are .m4p, some are .mp3. Thefiles themselves are not corrupted. Itested several in QuickTime and they played to the end. Additionally, as shownabove, when they are deleted from the library and restored they play just fine.
I have deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist as suggested inother articles, but this did not help.
Any help is appreciated.

Try working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch or corrupted data.

Do this happen with tracks at random or only a certain subset of tracks?

Songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song

I recently imported some new songs onto my itunes, and some songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song. This is happening both on my itunes on mac and on my ipod classic. I have already checked the ending time of the songs, and also checked the audio file to see if it was corrupted. I have also tried deleting the song and importing it on itunes again, but nothing changes. It's becoming quite annoying, and I would really like to fix the problem..

I, too, am having this problem as of two updates ago. It' been like this for about two weeks now. Music stops, songs skip like I'm using an old CD player and went over a bump - just abruptly stopping/changing to the next song. I've also noticed VERY clear and sudden changes in song quality while streaming, it's a bit jarring.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and I'm using T-Mobile.
I have tried the following:
Restart phone
Clear data
Uninstall and reinstall
Lower streaming quality
I've noticed this seems to only happen on streamed songs.. downloaded ones are OK. Everything was fine until the update that changed the 'Your Music' section :(
Edit: Wifi works fine.. It seems to either be a) streaming over T-Mobile or b) how Spotify handles streaming/slow connections/whatever has changed in a recent update. Can past and future repliers include their mobile carrier to see if there's a trend?

Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the songs and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Music cuts off on three tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. how do i fix it?

I downloaded an album and the music cuts off on three of the tracks about 30 seconds in and skips to the next. can i fix it, if so how??, i would really like these tracks for when im running and its driving me nuts

Hey Apollo10,
That definitely sounds frustrating. If the songs are not playing fully in iTunes, they may need to be redownloaded. After you have redownloaded the songs, they should play fully and you can enjoy them when you go running. If not, please let me know.
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

[svn] 3347: -remove the javascript directory since it is getting cleaned and recreated during the build process .

Revision: 3347
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-25 06:27:28 -0700 (Thu, 25 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
-remove the javascript directory since it is getting cleaned and recreated during the build process.
-this should make SVN happy and get the builds working again
Removed Paths:
flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/javascript/FABridge/samples/srcview/source/fabridge/javascript/

- Where? That depends upon what you what. But, going by the letter of what you asked, you shouldn't deploy any applications or packages if you want them on your newly images systems, you should make them a part of the TS using Install Software and Install
Application tasks.
- How many times? You should only need one although depending upon what you are deploying and if you are using offline updates, some folks add more. I typically use two one right after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task (just like the task sequence wizard
builds for you) to update the OS and "things" in the image and one at the end to catch additional updates for apps and components added during the TS. Note that you also have to initiate an update scan cycle for additional install update tasks to work. Do
this by adding a run-command line task before the second Install Updates task with the proper WMIC incantation.
- Offline Updates only injects CBS updates into the image which are typically just core OS updates. You should also update your image though to include non-CBS updates. Using a build and catpure task sequence makes this easy.

Dvd jumps, glitches and skips

I work as a videographer on the side; at weddings, sports events, speeches...
The last two gigs I had done I used DVD Studio Pro (the newest one I think). In both cases they were very long about 1hr 1/2 long each. Most being speeches.
I edit in Final Cut Pro (newest one i think). After editing I add chapter markers to the timeline in FCP.
Everything moves over to DVD studio Pro easily. I build the menu, add a slideshow button for a powerpoint. I then burn it to the DVD when everything is finalized.
I burn onto MEMOREX DVD-R 4.7GB (the dvds were about 4.5 GB)
they burn successfully. I play them on my MAC PRO and everything was fine.
Then, in both cases my clients said that the DVDs jump, skip, glitch and so does the powerpoint. They say that the picture gets glitchy and then it skips... all the DVDs did this at the same point.
My problem is that I cannot see these problems because they aren;t happening to me on my MAC PRO and XBOX.
What am I doing wrong?
DVD type ok?
too long of a video?
too much space taken up on the DVD?
PLEASE HELP AHHHH

Thanks DH. I was wondering if these DVDs would suffice?
http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-DVD-R-4-7GB-Branded-Spindle/dp/B00081A2KY
so you're saying that after FCP I should import to Compressor and split it into a .m2v video and .AC3 audio. Then Import those two into DVD-SP.
Should I burn from DVDSP?
I heard that the burning speed of that program can cause the problems too.
