Strange track times problem

ok this is a weird one. i have a song i imported from a CD. its in AAC format. ive listened to it many times on iTunes and my ipod. tonight i was listening on my ipod and it cut off before the end of the song. its not that it cut off and there was still time left in the song. somehow the song just wasnt all there. it had been ok the other times i listened to it. when i got home, i looked at the song on itunes. it had the same track time on itunes, the incorrect time. but when i clicked on it to play it, the time corrected to the proper time and then when i synced my ipod, it fixed the file. what the heck!?

Hi again,
We're talking the length in minutes. Strangely it's only occurred on the last batch of CDs my friend did for me ( well I'm 99% sure of that ) and he's only got a CD recorder not a PC recordable drive. This last batch was done on a new ( albeit s/h ) CD recorder. I've imported other CDs burned from PCs etc and all have been ok. I've even checked copies I've done using my CD recorder and the times have been correct when imported into iTunes.
As you suggest, I might try and use Roxio to make a CD of the 'faulty' run time tracks and see if what happens when I then import to iTunes from them.
Thanks again for your help.

  • Strange run-time problem

    I have a problem in my vi. When the vi loads up, everything seems to work fine, however I have two radio buttons at the top of the vi, and when I use them to select something my vi seems to freeze up. I've tried all kinds of debugging, and I can't find the error. I've also tried to eliminate all race conditions. Could someone please help me find the problem. Thanks!

    Hi Marshall
    Your Problem Seems to Stem from the Fact that you have two Event Structures in One Loop. If you look up Caveats and Recommendations under event Structure in Labview Help, there is a Paragraph "Avoid Using two Event Structures in One Loop".
    I took your Vi and Did the following Experiments.
    1. Verified that the Vi does Hang as Claimed.
    2. I Put the Tab control at "TTL" and then Deleted the Event Structure form the case "RS232" and than Ran your Vi. It works fine.
    3. Instead of deleting the Event Structure totally, I deleted the event cases which are duplicated in the two event structures. "Yes" Value Change, "No" Value Change event and "Cancel" Event form event Structure under the RS232 Case. Left the timeout Case as is. I ran the Vi Again it Works Fine.
    I believe - The Problem is this. Each Event Structure waits for events it has been programmed for. The event structures are in the same loop. The Event structures themselves have no way of knowing that they are embedded in a case structure and only one of them needs to execute. So after the First event the Program kind of hangs as the second Event structure Waits indefinitely for the Program to Pass execution to it.
    So the Fourth Experiment -
    4. I Used a Local Variable to Change the Tab to RS232 if I was in TTL and to TTL from RS232 if I was in RS232. This Local Vaiables are under the Yes Value Changed Event And Now I checked the Program, If Clicked Yes The TTL Case Executes Changing it and Correspondingly Changing the NO value, then it Changes the Tab Value So on the Next Iteration of While Loop my Program is in RS232 Case and Event Structure Executes and puts the Tab Back to RS232. In effect I have Made My Program Go through Both Event Structures This Works Everytime Only when I click on YES. I click on NO and Program Hangs as I did Not Built the Same Functionality for this case.
    The Event Structures Cache the Events they have been Programmed for andthe First Event Must be Handled Before A second Event can take Place. In your Case One Event is in two Structures and at any given time One of these Structures executes. The Other Structure Waits and Inhibits furthur interaction till the Event generated can be handled by it.
    On a Side Note. It is Advisable to Create an Event Structure and Embed your Cases within them And Also have Only One Event Node to Handle One Event Such as "YEs" Value Change. So you know what is Going on. and easy to Maintain Code. Also It will Help If you could Club Similar Controls in an Array and handle them that way rather than individually
    I Hope I am clear in my explanation. I hope this is the reasoning why Your Program Hangs. I have attached your Vis slightly modified for you to see.
    Good Luck!!
    Good Luck!

  • Problems getting track times to import.

    I have experienced a problem where the CD track times display on the CD I am importing, but when that CD is in the Library, some or all tracks display "not available" for the track time. When those tracks are downloaded to the I-pod, they get skipped over. Is there a way to edit in track times in the library, and in I-tunes itself? I'd like to not have to re-import a bunch of CD's if at all possible.
    E-Machines   Windows XP  

    As far as I know, you can only generate track names on CD's from Gracenote if the order, the amount of tracks and the time per track on your CD is correct (= original).
    So, if you have complete albums, and you are able to 'reconstruct' them as described above (same tracks in same order as on the original CD), than burn a CD from this. Mount this CD in iTunes, and let it search in Gracenote; if you did a good job, you will receive your track names. You can now re-import your tracks to iTunes.
    But, when the albums that are incomplete or when you don't want to spoil all this empty CD's, I think you'll have to retype all your track names. Maybe you can look for the track names on Gracenote or amazon and copy-paste this.
    One good thing : if you have converted your AAC's to AIFF's (that's how I understand it), you did get rid of the protection and you will be able to burn as many CD's from this songs as you want

  • My I pod will not display volume bar or track time.

    I have an Ipod Nano, but all of a sudden it quit showing the volume bar and track times of my songs. In place of the track times are 5 dots going across the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To Michal,
    It's not a problem!
    It's the way it is supposed to work!
    See the last paragraph on page 24 in the manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodnano_FeaturesGuide.pdf
    "Depending on what type of audio you’re listening to, you can press the Center button repeatedly from the Now Playing screen to get to other information and options, such as the rating screen for songs and audiobooks, album art, podcast information, reading speed, and more. Click the Menu button to return to the previous screen. "

  • I have a strange 3g data problem.

    I have a strange 3g data problem.  At home I have zero 3G connectivity even though all bars are showing and says "3G" and wifi is "Off" ... unless I am on the phone and then magically the 3G data connection works perfectly!!  Does anyone have any idea what is happening?  Also when I bring my phone to my dad's or my friends house the problem disappears!! Is this a hardware or a AT&T network problem? os is 4.3.3
    Also called ATT and they said there was no problem with the network and that it was a hardware issue.  Also restored the phone several times but the problem did not go away.

    OK, no trouble shooting. The first thing I'd attempt is restarting in Safe Mode. If you still don't have luck try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset, it wouldn't hurt to do the SMC reset a couple of times. If still no luck let us know.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Nano software bug- Track time...

    I just noticed whilst listening to my Nano the track times (both counting upwards and counting the remaining time) skip from time to time by two seconds.
    Does anyone elses Nano misbehave like this?!

    Try updating some tags to test with MP3 Library. I've used this a lot in the past and it has always worked for me.
    Also can you try transferring with some other software? e.g. MediaSource
    Normally it's just that the tags aren't read properly, and it's either a tag version or transfer application problem. I'm sure MP3 Tag has caused problems in the past.

  • Shared library : client iTunes shows grossly wrong track time...

    Bit of a weird one here.
    When I connect to my shared library (wireless LAN), when the library is loaded all the track times are displayed correctly. However, if I try to play one of the tracks from the client machine, suddenly the displayed track time changes dramatically (e.g. from 5:00 to 34:24) and the time remaining, while the track is playing, reflects this too.
    However (1) if you let the track play to where it should end, it does end when it should and (2) if you play the track on the machine that contains the shared library this does not happen.
    I'm sure this has started happening only recently (both machines are running latest iTunes 7.6.2)
    Any ideas?
    Neil

    After some digging around it turned out to only affect files that were encoded using VBR, though I tried to "convert" some of the problematic files using iTunes to VBR (so, VBR to iTunes VBR) and they worked OK.
    I should've added that I don't do my ripping and encoding with iTunes. I rip with Max (to FLAC) and transcode the FLAC files to MP3 with LAME (command-line). Originally my trancoding script was using VBR - I changed it to use CBR (192) and the problem seems to have been fixed.
    However, there is obviously some quirk with playing VBR MP3s via a shared library as, as I described originally, you don't get this behaviour on the local machine. It's only when you try to access the songs over the network that the track time gets all messed up.
    I'm going to leave this marked as "unanswered" for the time being as I believe that this is an iTunes bug.

  • I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air.  I'm looking for an app or program where I can track time spent of specific projects each day and also document details of each project.  Is there anything available that is synced through iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air.  I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project.  Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

    I recommend you consider Omnifocus.  It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management.  It let's you store additional information as well.   I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices.  I believe you can also sync through Dropbox.  I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet.  The link to their website is:  www.omnigroup.com.  There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.

  • X301 post BIOS / Model Number update System Time problems

    Dear community,
      I recently updated my BIOS using the thinkvantage flash BIOS utility for no reason other than it appeared on the update utility. I also updated the model number, once again for no real reason other than update pleasure. Now, everything works perfectly fine on the system, and I have no problems EXCEPT:
    I use New York Times Adobe Air product called "Times Reader". Since the update, when I try to log into the Times Reader I get an error that states "Authentication Error. Check that your system time is set correctly." In the pre-boot set up screen the time seems to be set right, and in the windows utility the time is set correctly. So my questions is,
     after a BIOS flash / Model # update, does the system time function need some re-boot / update? 
    Thanks! 

    Well I still dunno what the problem was.  It seemed as if the system would have to be running for a day or two before it would start to speed up, as if it was actually gaining a few milliseconds cumulatively every second...
    Anyway, through other testing (OC & such) I flashed to 1.5B5 and it is running pretty good, and seems to have fixed the time problem.
    On a side note, 1.5B5 is the first BIOS that actually makes Cool 'N Quiet work (to underclock to 1GHz at idle & dynamically OC when needed).
    If anyone has experienced this time issue, please post findings!  For now, it's fixed for me, so I'm not going to worry about it  

  • Window 2008 R2 datacentre server time problem

    Hi Team,
    I have one window 2008 R2 data centre server, which having time problem, I have setted IST time zone but time coming 15 minute delay, I have tried to correct time by manual but time goes again 15 minute delay itself.
    Please guide how to solve it and but i don't want to use NTP, as this server is on workgroup.
    Regards
    Inder Singh Rawat

    Hi ,
    I followed following step to build NTP in window server 2008 R2.
    Enabling & Configuring NTP Server
    1. Change the server type to NTP.
    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type
    In the pane on the right, right-click Type, and then click Modify. In Edit Value, type NTP in the Value data box, and then click OK.
    2. Set AnnounceFlags to 5. 
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags
     In the pane on the right, right-click AnnounceFlags, and then click Modify. In Edit DWORD Value, type 5 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
    3. Enable NTPServer.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer
     In the pane on the right, right-click Enabled, and then click Modify .In Edit DWORD Value, type 1 in
    the Value data box, and then click OK
    4. Specify the time sources.
    Open a command prompt and type the command as below: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
    peers: time.windows.com or time.nist.gov
    eg: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
    5. At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows Time service, and then press Enter:
    net stop w32time 
    net start w32time  
    i run following useful command.
    1. To resynchronize time : w32tm /resync  or w32tm /resync /rediscover
    2. To verify the configuartion : w32tm /query /configuration and w32tm /query /status
    3. Display the current time zone settings : w32tm /tz
    Now what problem i am facing , when server goes restart "Window time service stoped" and ntp corrupted.
    Even Window time service is set automatically, when i do configure again then NTP work proper.
    Please help how to resolve this problem, if server restart NTP goes corrupted becuase of window time service stopped.
    Regards

  • ITunes Change Track Time

    Hello,
    I first noticed on my ipod that some songs suddenly stopped playing, and I saw that the elapsed time was 0:00 even when the song wasn't finished playing at all, then on iTunes I found that the song had the same time as on the iPod but when I double clicked it, it changed the track time to the real track time.
    What is generating this? Is it possible to fix it?
    Thank you in advance!

    Have you tried to just simply enable the Crossfade setting on your Nano?
    To turn on crossfading:
    1 From the Home screen, tap Settings.
    2 Tap Music, and then tap  Off next to Audio Crossfade.

  • ITunes track time issue

    I am using iTunes 8.02.20 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 and since I installed this version of iTunes when I import a CD the time listed on the track is correct. Once imports when I look at the same file in the library I see the track time as 789:57:13 listed as the track time on all the tracks imported.
    Any suggestions would be great. thanks!

    Bummer, sounds like it might be some bug, then, if itunes 7 is OK.
    How about your import settings - are you using MP3, AAC, AIFF, or what?
    If MP3, are you using VBR?
    Does it work with any other import setting, so you could report it to Apple?
