Songs skip after importing them

I recently purchased an iMac. I used to have a PC but decided to change to a mac. As such I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive. I have then connected this to my new iMac and loaded the songs into iTunes. Unfortunately some of the songs skip after seconds and go to the next track. I have tried playing the track in QuickTime and the song sounds distorted at the point it would skip in iTunes then starts playing again as normal. If there is a fix I would be very grateful to find out what it is as I fear that a lot of my library is now corrupt somehow. Also if there is an easy way to find which songs are corrupt without playing them all would be good.

We are experiencing the same problem. The CD you are importing is it a "live" CD or a "studio" recording CD. Ours is a live concert CD

TS3159 Songs skipping after downloading from iTunes

Songs skipping after downloading on iTunes

Hello, cajunkiwi.
Thank you for the question. There are a couple options to help you with this. If limited purchased media skips only on the iPhone, then delete the affected content and download it again free of charge via the purchased section of the iTunes Store. If almost all of your media library skips on the iPhone only, remove all music from the device by removing the preference to sync music. After this has been completed, restore the sync music preference to place the media back on the the device. Below are a couple articles that will walk you through this process.

I can no longer rotate photos after importing them.

I can no longer rotate photos after importing them. This option was available before they last update.

There is another current discussion about this going on. I copied it and pasted the answer here.
"Your functionallity is on an IPAD 2. This forum is refering to an IPAD 1!
I spoke to Apple technical support and they concur.
The feature was available on IOS 4.3 and was removed in IOS 5.
They directed me to 3rd Party Software. I told them this is not an anwser since I have 100's of picture which must be loaded in the the 3rd Party Software Rotated individually and saved back into the Save Folder.
They said if they have enough compliants it will be fixed in the next rev."
Here is the link to the thread.

Can I burn hd home movies to dvd in itunes after importing them into my itunes library

Can I burn to dvd, HD home movies from a HD camera in itunes after importing them in my itunes library

I don't have iTunes set to manage my music but if I move an item to the trash that is the file iTunes uses, it will still play in iTunes until I empty the trash. Of course at that point it is permanently gone so if that was my keeper file then I have messed up.
One overlying recommendation is to back up your computer before doing the editing. If you make a mistake you can always go back and try again.

Song skips after 16 seconds to the next one

I bought a song in Itunes, but when I try to play it on my Imac the song skips after 16 seconds to the next one. I have this problem only on my Imac. The same song works on my iphone and can be played till the end.
I already checked the song information where you can set stopping points but there's no stopping point for this song set. I also aren't able to download the song again. So how can I fix this proplem?

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...

Re: Songs skipping after downloading from iTunes

I am having problems with the songs skipping when I use itunes to play them on my computer. I have deleted them and redownloaded. It does not fix the problem. What do I do next?

Itunes store's songs skipping after a few seconds of playing

You will not get recharged if you download them from the Purchased section of the iTunes Store and you are signed in with the Apple ID they were originally purchased with.

Songs skip after few seconds

Why do some song on my ipod skip after a few seconds?

For some unknown reason every once and a while a song will not "encode" properly when being converted into digital format (.mp3). This is the cause of the glitches that make the song skip past. This can be fixed by re-encoding the song at a different speed (The standard is 128kbps but can also be done at 160kbps and 192kbps in iTunes).
Now to re-encoding the glitched songs:
First off check the original encoding speed. This can be done by selecting the glitched song, right clicking and choosing the "Get Info" option and the bit-rate (encoding speed) will be in the summary tab. After you check the current encoding speed the settings for importing music into iTunes may need to be changed. You can change these by going into the "Edit > Preferences ~ Advanced tab > Importing tab" once here simply change the box labeled "Import Using" from "AAC Encoder" to "MP3 Encoder". Now all that needs to be done is to change the bit-rate. Choose one of the bit-rates from the "Setting" box that is different from the current bit-rate of the skipping song. Once the setting is chosen click "Ok" and then go to the "Advanced" menu and there should be an option to "Convert Selection to MP3". Now it is as simple as selecting the affected song and then going into the advanced menu and choosing the "Convert Selection to MP3" option to fix your glitched tunes! Every song that is converted using this will be encoded with the bit-rate chosen in the earlier stages.
Hopefully this helps, good luck re-encoding =)

How do I get Lightroom to delete photos from my iPhone after importing them?

Lightroom 4 imports photos and videos from my iPhone and puts them where I want them to go, and names the directories the way I want. All good. But it also leaves the photos on the phone to be manually deleted. Is there some way to have it delete the photos after import?

Not from Lightroom.

Cannot edit song info after import

I just upgraded to Leopard and thats when this started happening.
When I download songs, I import them, but once they are imported, I cannot change the name, artist, album, lyrics--any information.
The fields in the "Get Info" menu even appear gray--I can't change them at all.
I can still edit all the songs I downloaded before Leopard, just the post-Leopard songs are proving problematic.
Thanks.

hello
i have exactly the same problem!
please help…

Why does my photos change after importing them?

I've shot hundreds of pictures from a wedding in sunny Toscana, Italy with a new Sony Hybrid Camera. They're all shot in RAW and looks good in the camera preview. When I import the pictures to Aperture, they look the same in the "filmstrip":
But then, after selecting them, they change into extremely overexposed versions that can't be used.
I don't get the same issue when I open them with Photoshop. What is going on?

Toning this down to half helped a lot. But now it looks kind of gray.
By default the settings should be o.k. Leave the "hue" boost at a higher value.
It's a pity, that your first encounter with Aperture is this bad.
Then you have to do all sort of tweaks and tuning to get them back in decent shape.
Is this your first encounter with RAW images as well? RAW photos will generally need a lot of tweaking, since the RAW format is the naked data right of the sensor, without any effects and adjustments applied. RAW is the image format for those photographers that want to develope and tweak the digital negative themselves. If you are happy with the RAW developement that your camera does, consider to set the camera to shoot high quality JPEGS or TIFF images. Then you will have the RAW developement of the camera as the starting point for your own tweaking and do not need to start from point zero and do the basic adjustments as well.

When trying to use Radio, songs skip after 10 seconds

When using iTunes Radio with Windows8 on my PC, songs skip to the next after 10 seconds or so. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. I hope this can get rectified. One Unhappy Camper.

Incorrect song list after import from CD

After importing, iTunes showed an incorrect songlist -- a different CD from the same artist. I manually corrected all the song titles.
It also will not get the album artwork, even though the CD is in the iTunes store for purchase - why won't it import the album in the coverflow mode?

Hi Mom-o-Val.
Welcome to the Apple Disscussion Boards!
There could be more than a couple reasons why iTunes is pulling the wrong info for your CD.
Could you tell me what CD it is?

Moving images into the iPhoto library after importing them

I imported all my 4,500 pictures to iPhoto but since I wanted to keep my file structure intact i chose not to import them into the iPhoto library but to keep them in the existing folders. Now, I want to move the pictures into the library. How to do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You want to change from a Referenced to a Managed Library?
When you run a Referenced Library iPhoto makes aliases to the files in your folder structure. You can replace these aliases with the actual files using an app such as AliasHerder.

Song Quuality after importing from CD

Hi guys,
I bought my nano not long ago, and I'm still familiarizing with the iTunes.
The obvious problem that I have now is that the songs that I imported from CD using iTunes are all of bad quality, overlapping vocals & music.
Usually I import CD using windows media player, it may not be as good as other ripper program, but good enough. But importing with wma means I need a longer process to download songs to my iPod.
According to a friend of mine is about the iTunes setting, which I still can't figure out till now.
So, all the apple wacky out there pelase help.
thanks

If you import your audioCD to a format that has to be converted by iTunes this will result in a loss of quality.
Use iTunes itself to rip your audioCD and choose either AAC as codec or Apple Lossless.
