Songs skip when streaming from iCloud

This problem occurs consistently. The track will skip as soon as it is fully loaded.
To explain clearly:
When you start a track which is not stored locally it "streams" from iCloud. (More like it is downloaded and stored temporarily than actual streaming.) As it starts it plays and downloads simultaneously. The progress bar fills light grey as the track downloads. It also fills dark grey as the track plays (also marked by a small diamond). As soon as the progress bar fills light grey indicating it is fully downloaded it skips to the next track where the process repeats.
This not happen with all tracks but it occurs with the majority of tracks.

Hello, Calandria
Is error correction enabled? (iTunes Preferences/Importing/Use Error Correction ... on my machine)
Another possibility, of course, would be that the CD was produced with a Windows-capable scheme to prevent copying the songs. Can't really help you if that's the case, though.
Good luck

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

HT204291 Airplay skips when streaming from my Macbook Pro

Hey!
Im finding ever since i recently purchased my newest Apple Tv unit that whenever i stream from my macbook (mirroring) it skips, both audio and video. I have several other apple tv devices throughout the house and they all work fine when doing the same thing. The device with the problem is located in my living room, perhaps 4 metres from the wireless internet station. Its the closest in proximity out of all the apple tv's.
Any help resolving this issue would be great! If theres is any details that i need to provide just let me know.
Thanks.

Hello!
You have a box you can check over at: "Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays"
"show mirroring options in the menu bar when available"
Here's the manual from Apple: About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
If that's not the solution: try unplugging all your routers/modems/extenders, etc from power for a minuten and plugging them back in. Sometimes routers 'think' you have a new machine after upgrading the OS and erroneously block it from some network communication ports.

Songs skip when dowloaded from CD

When I copy a CD to the iPOD Shuffle library it skips when I listen to it from the library, so it also skips on the iPOD shuffle. I have converted the songs, tried to copy and past, tried to save it to my hard on my PC, etc. When I listen to CDs (store bought and new, not "bootlegged" copies. Please assist as I am a heading back to the store were I purchased it.

ITunes skips when streaming from XP

I have an XP box on a Linksys router, and an Airport Express hooked to my stereo in the other room. The XP machine is wired into the router. When I try to stream music to the stereo it skips constantly.
I have a MBP running wirelessly on the same network and can stream to the same airport express without any issues. I cannot find a fix for this. I've read so many threads in so many discussion forums but nobody has a fix or explanation. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

LG HBS-730 skips when streaming or playing music from iTunes Radio

I have an LG Tone+(HBS-730) and it seems to skip when streaming music from Pandora, XMSirus and even iTunes Radio. When I contact LG they say it's the phone and the Bluetooth compatibility. I had the same problem before updating to IOS 8 also. Anyone else have this issue?

BDAqua, the drive is partitioned as a single partition, nearly 3 TB, Mac OS-X Extended (Journaled).
No clue about Spotlight, I've never messed with it. Are you thinking that Spotlight may be indexing (or whatever the term is) periodically, and that is causing my hiccup?
Again, it only happens with the combination of MegaSeg and the G-SAFE. iTunes and QuickTime Player perform well on the G-SAFE as is. But they are both Apple products, as is Spotlight.
I will definitely give that a try the next time I'm in the office!

Streaming from icloud to ipad

Hi,
Not sure if this has been asked before but...... I was wondering if it is possible to stream iCloud content (movies, or tv shows) directly to my Mac Book Pro rather than just streaming to my Apple TV? As my Mac has a monitor, I would sometimes like to use the MBP or even my iPad to view previously purchased content. Thanks in advance...

Hey james thanks for the quick response!
I tried the reset twice but it had no effect on the streaming from icloud.
The song still starts near the middle. The thing is it never streamed the entire song, I just got icloud early this week. so not really sure what restarting may have done, unless you suspected a glitch with my ipad playing the song.

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?

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.

HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
Thanks

I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

Imported song skips, plays fine from CD

I'm importing a whole CD. The CD plays fine in the computer and in the car. When I play the music from the computer, the last track skips. I've cleaned the CD and used a CD repair kit and I've run a laser lense cleaner on the computer. After re-importing the CD, the song still skips when played from the computer.
I have an iMac G5 with iSight, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.7 and iTunes 6.0.5.
Any suggestions?

ripped the song using a different drive

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud?

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud? Thank you.

Look, there are a million threads on this already.
The facts are:
1) you can't delete individuals photos from Photostream. Simple as that.
2) if you want to delete all the photos, then switch PS off on all your devices (including iPhoto), go to iCloud.com, click on your name, go to advanced settings and reset PS. They will be gone from all your devices and iCloud.
3) switch PS back on in all the same devices.
Let's hope this is sorted out in the near future.

Video Playback Pauses when streaming from iTunes to itunes

Hi,
I have a 2011 iMac running OS X Mavericks Server and I use this as my main iTunes library computer. I also have a 2013 (latest model) MacBook Air running Mavericks. My WiFi network comprises of 2x Airport Express's, both the latest models and configured for both 2.4ghz & 5ghz frequencies.
Using Home Sharing, I like to stream video from my iMac's iTunes library to my MacBook Air. The problem is that playback pauses every few minutes. The only way to resume playback is to close the video window and open the video again. This problem occurs regardless of video quality (SD, 720 or 1080) and on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi settings... On the odd occasion this problem doesn't happen at all.
I experienced this problem before upgrading to mavericks so I don't think its mavericks related. And I don't experience this playback issue when streaming to ipad mini, iphone, or apple tv... It only happens when streaming from imac to macbook air...
Please help if you have a solution.

Try:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/test.sdp -acodec copy -vcodec copy -re -f flv "rtmp://168.187.121.71/livepkgr/mystream&adbe-live-event=liveevent"
I don't strream ffpmeg from my source, but I stream h264 from my source, and this works when transcoding.
Hope this helps!

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.
