Tour 9630 MP3 playback issues. TRACK MARK DEAD SPACES

at start of every song I loose the first second or so of sound, this is even happening on album playback mode where songs are connected or run into each other, other than that the sond is great. This is very annoying , it is as if my Blackberry shuts the sound down at track markers. I am using Windows Vista and lod songs via Windows media Player, loading is not an issue it is simply that litle dead zone at the start of each song at playback. anyone else experienceing this ? Any solutions.   Thanks , Larry

You're not the only one judging by the forums!
Likewise I have been using Apples since the Apple IIe(!) and have found them great in every respect. iTunes however over the past couple of years has deteriorated to th point of being unuseable. Apple has made iTunes the hub of your digital life and so it really has to work seemlessly.
I currently have had to completely wipe and re-install my 64Gb iPhone 4s several times to get my music back on to it. I cannot het any playlists to sync which is really annoying and it generally undermines my faith in Apples software quality.
Please put whatever resources are necessary to fix this soon Apple or you will certainly start to haemorrhage customers to other platforms. After all if iTunes remains broken then what's the point of paying the extra for Apple qulaity? You may as well uplaod ebverything to Google play and be done with it!

  • Tour 9630 e-mail issues

    New to the Tour and BB, two e-mail issues. It won't see or open e-mail PDF attachments from just one particular sender (he uses a Mac, but shouldn't matter). BB opens other PDF's fine, and they open in my laptop's Outlook just fine from this sender (but not on the phone).
    Next, e-mails come in to BB already opened (in both the Messages icon and the Yahoo e-mail icon on the BB), only some stay bold until I click on them? This happens when I have not checked e-mail on BB or on my laptop, yet they still show as opened on BB with just a few staying bold or unopened? I have Auto Open in Holster set to Never, and don't do any reconciling. Any help with the two topics above would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    @D55R33WW - The previous client was able to correct this by adjusting the send/recieve frequency within Outlook and in your case within MacMail. 
    More details...
    If there are too many pop connections at once on the account then it will keep other connections from accessing the account and you will receive that error message.
    What I would recommend here is that your customer adjust the frequency (10 mins or more) that their email client checks the mailbox.
    To clarify a bit further, the system can handle the frequent pop connections, but sometimes the email clients fail to close their first connection correctly which leaves it idle on our system for some time.
    Then when they try to connect again they encounter errors because there are already connections for that account.

  • MP3 playback issue...

    I noticed recently that a lot of my mp3's skip and stutter when playing on my 16gig ipod touch, but they play fine in itunes and winamp. So whats the deal?

    okay here's what i've done so far. I listened until I found a song that stuttered. Double checked my copy in itunes (which had no stutter).
    so I deleted it from my iPod and manually reinstalled it. The stutter was gone.
    problem is, I have no idea which songs are affected in order to re-install them: not until I listen to them all (approx 5 gigs worth)... there must be something causing this, perhaps another process that is running during sync?

  • Mp3 playback issues

    Hi,
    My problem is that iTunes just doesn't play certain mp3's. I have this compilation - The Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and I only realized recently that it only contained 491 songs. However in the Windows folder where the files are located, there are 500 items. I tried adding the folder again and adding the 9 missing .mp3 files individually using "add file" but to no avail. Drag and drop did not work either. The missing songs will not open in iTunes (iTunes just keep doing what it was before) but play fine in Windows Media Player and Quicktime. I analyzed one of those files using gspot; "#107 - Buddy Holly and the Crickets - Not Fade Away.mp3", but nothing seemed wrong. These are the details of the file as seen in properties: file type: mp3, file size: 5.52MB, length 2:24,bit rate: 320kbps. I honestly have no clue what could be wrong except that something is wrong with iTunes, since WMP and QT play the files perfectly.
    Thanks!

    You have posted in the Mac forum, you will probably find more help posting in the Windows forum.

  • I have issues - BlackBerry DM for Mac and a Tour 9630

    I have a Tour 9630 and I am trying to sync on a Mac running Leopard and using the BB DM software. When I start to sync the progress bar starts to move across and then just stops, it stays like that forever and either doesn't do anything or crashes. Any one else out there having these problems? I can't sync my calendar or anything! Please help!  I don't want to go back to using Missing Sync. (I have a whole other set of issues getting Missing Sync to communicate with my BB after installing the new DM. I had to install the DM in order to fix my BB when it got stuck on 552 and 507 error messages).
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with Pocket Mac. Now with BB Desktop Manager the first time it duplicated my contacts and those I couldn't delete on the Tour. First, check out the Tour and the Mac and find out where do you have the most updated list. That one is the one that you're going to sync to the other. If is on the Mac, wipeout the Tour, if is vice versa, clean the Address Book on the Mac and when you sync, overwrite the other one. Other option is to sync one thing at a time. First your contacts, then the calendar and so on. The calendar sync has worked for me since the first time. Keep the Tour sync with only ONE computer. Other thing is, backup the data on the Tour, BB Desktop M will help you do it. Use the version 1.0.  You can find it here, because the 1.0.1 update is what you will find on the BB site. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CGR9QN2S
    Good Luck

  • Video Playback Issues With Apple TV3 Running OS8

    I have two Apple TV3s (Both Pre 2013)
    One updated today to the latest OS8, the other still running the previous OS7.1.2
    Now when trying to play virtually any of my own MP4 videos the OS8 firmware version Apple TV3 refuses to play the file.
    Apple TV simply displays "An error occurred loading this content" (retrying simply displays the same error again)
    If I then use the second Apple TV3 (running the older firmware OS7.1.2) and try to play exactly the same files from the same iTunes library the file will play back correctly.
    So far the OS8 Apple TV3 is unable to play over 95% of the video files it could previously play prior to the firmware update.
    The odd file will play but these files are of differing resolutions so don't appear to share anything in common. It is always the same files that will or wont play.
    All video files are Profile 4.0 or lower and contain the required audio tracks.
    I am running iTunes 11.4.0.18 (Windows 8.1)
    Prior to the update every video file played correctly (on both Apple TVs) and the second Apple TV3 (using the earlier OS7.1.2 firmware) still plays the exact same files correctly.
    Music files are unaffected and playback correctly on both Apple TV3s.
    The latest firmware update appears to have corrupted the video playback of the Apple TV3 in some way.
    I have even tried a complete USB restore of the OS8 Apple TV3 but this has made no difference.
    Has anyone else experienced MP4 playback issues since updating their Apple TV3 to OS8?
    Thank you in advance.

    After further tests it would appear that Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware is unable to play any video file with NO CHAPTER markers.
    If I use MetaX to simply tag an unplayable MP4 file with a single chapter, that file will now play correctly using an Apple TV3 running Apple TV 7.0 (OS8). If the single chapter is then deleted the same file reverts to being unplayable.
    In previous versions of Apple TV firmware any video file with NO CHAPTER markers could be played correctly and the Apple TV would automatically generate chapter markers at equally distributed time gaps.
    For some reason Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware appears to have removed this auto chapter marker feature so if a file has no chapter markers the Apple TV will now consider the file as invalid.
    With MetaX it is possible to manually generate additional chapter markers so you can still skip through the file rather than only scan.
    iFlick for Mac should I suspect be able to do the same thing.

  • Anyone Have a Blackberry Tour 9630 Replaced with BB Bold when RIM said Tours Defective?

    I'm asking this because I need to find out who got a replacement Bold or other Blackberry for the defective Tour 9630 since in my case I got screwed.
    I'm curious when they allowed the swap and if your contract was extended?
    Why? Because my story tops them all as far as cell phone provider issues! I want to file an FCC complaint but I need some more facts that Verizon is not giving me after they look up my account and realize I'm one they got one over on.
    Here is what happened to me:
    I upgraded after my 1st year with Verizon, I got a Blackberry Tour in 1/2010. That phone had so many problems I had to keep taking it in every month for a replacement. Verizon refused to exchange for a different Blackberry. I had it 6 Blackberry Tour 9630's in 6 months.
    I even called RIM and they said they had "design" issues with the Tour and it's being taken off the market with the phone carriers, they said Verizon should be allowing you to get a replacement phone of same or lower cost (another Blackberry).
    Well that never happened and I had to file an FCC complaint before corporate finally called to help me. I even told them the "NEW" Tour I paid for when I signed a new contract was refurbished because when I tried to send the info in for the rebate, I got an letter stating that particular phone already received it's rebate.  Yep, I paid for a used phone, nice huh?
    I should have stopped it right there, given them their used phone back and walked away but I'm thinking they are working with me and gave me the rebate ASAP, it will be OK.
    WRONG!! 6 months into the contract with theTour not working and those 6 replacements I mentioned, they agree to give me another phone for $50. I said "drop dead, no more money from me because of an issue that's no fault of mine."
    Then they said OK we'll give you a phone of the same value at no charge. So not knowing how the Bold was gonna work yet, I went with a Droid 2 as the Droid 1 had been out awhile and  I heard most bugs had been worked out.
    Now here is the real kicker in the whole story. After they mailed me the new Droid, I was online paying my bill and noticed Verizon re-set my contract.
    Instead of being up in January 2012 it now shows September 2012 even though I got the Droid 2 in July. **bleep**??
    No one told me that and I couldn't get anyone to help fix that mess, they said "you got a new phone, we resolved your issue". Yeah ONE of the issues, not all of the issues like the fact the very first new phone of the new contract was USED!
    Then to make matters worse, I heard from 2 people who had Tours and they said Verizon changed the policy and replaced the Tours with the Blackberry Bold for no charge and no contract extension. One of them swaped the phone May 30th and the other at the end of June. Before and after they finally called to help me.
    This is why I need to know not what the Verizon policy states (because they can type of anything for all I know) but who got a new phone and when. What month and what year?
    This is only referring to the Blackberry Tour 9630 the one with the small black trackball that they promptly pulled off the shelves around the time I got another phone.
    If Verizon said they were looking into a solution,  I would have used my old Blackberry Curve for a bit , gotten the Bold,  and not be looking at this 9 month contract extension.
    I don't know, they make it so hard for honest people who have hit hard times and dealt with bad phone after bad phone to just get a fair break. I have been sick and out of work for 3 years, I've used every penny I saved hoping I was going to get better. That is now not going to happen and when I really need out of the **bleep** contract, they pull this garbage.
    If I just want out of the contract , I was told it would cost around $350. If I had $350 I wouldn't be typing this. I suppose I can fake my own death and get out of the contract that way.
    So guess I work on becoming dead since that's my only option. I will never, ever, ever sign a cell contract as long as live, if I live.
    I don't mean to sound like such a bitchy customer, I really feel I was screwed from the start of this contract and the screws keep coming!

    As iSync doesn't support Blackberry devices and you are using software from RIM to sync your Mac, you are unlikely to find a solution here.
    However, one general point about syncing is the more things you try to sync with, the more likely problems are to appear. Syncing with both iCal and Entourage is often a culprit. I would suggest leaving Entourage out of the equation altogether and just sync iCal and the Blackberry software.

  • Weird Playback Issue...

    I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

    Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
    Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

  • ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

    I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
    I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
    The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

  • [bug?] playback issues with QT browser plugin, any workarounds?

    I've noticed a playback issue with media files using the quicktime plugin (currently v7.1.3) with Firefox 1.5.0.x and now Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP (SP2):
    Description:
    When I open a media file in a separate tab or window, audio playback cuts out when I switch focus away from the tab or window (i.e. when it runs in the background). When I put the tab/window in the foreground again, playing resumes.
    Reproducible: Always
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open an mp3 file with quicktime plugin in a new tab
    2. Switch focus to some other tab or firefox window
    Expected Results:
    Audio playback should continue in the background.
    Actual Results:
    Audio playback cuts out and resumes once you click on the tab containing the plugin or if you hover over it with the cursor. The cutting and resuming out doesn't happen right away but after a short delay, suggesting that it might have something to do with thread prioritization.
    The file is completely buffered by quicktime, this is not about connection speed or bandwidth issues.
    Opening the link to the same file with right-click->Open Link in External Application works well.
    Someone else has filed a bug report against Firefox about this issue here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339449
    I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out not to be an issue with Gecko but with QuickTime.
    Can other users confirm this on XP? Is this a known QuickTime bug? Are there fixes or workarounds?
    Windows XP

    Yeah I had that thought as well but no joy. It works for the player but it doesn't solve my plugin problem. It really seems to be something about prioritizing, the way the audio cuts in and out - notice how it takes a few fractions of a second before a process loses its CPU cycles when you click away from it? You can observe this with System Monitor on the Mac or Linux or process explorer on XP. That's how the audio is cutting out and back in. I still think it's probably a bug/'feature' either with Gecko, the Firefox browser engine, or with the QT plugin..

  • Trying to use the Tour 9630 with Outlook 2003 Calendar, Memo/Notes & Tasks. Can't Config & Complete....

    I would like to use my Outlook 2003 with my Blackberry Tour 9630 to use the Calendar, Memo & Task features instead of entering everything on the BB. I use my Outlook Express 6 for my email input and output. The Outlook 2003 is not connected to the internet for use but on my computer as a free standing application. Everytime I attempt to config the Desktop with Calendar, Memo & Tasks I get a "Option Values is unacceptable. Pls check options properties". I do pick MS Outlook as the application to connect but continuely get that message above when I am at the end of the config process at selecting NEXT. I would like to use Outlook 2003 if it is ok to use and connect. Or is there any other application that I can easily purchase for an easier connect and config too. Pls assist me. Ed

    Hello BklynBoy273 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Have you entered any information into Outlook yet? 
    The BlackBerry communicates with the Outlook data folder, called a pst.
    KB02362 may offer you some help trying to get the sync configured.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Thanks! And have a great day

  • BB Tour 9630 battery keeps draining

    Hi:
    I'm having a problem with my Tour 9630 battery draining.  When it first started was shortly after installing an animated theme, which I deleted later.  That solved the draining problem for about 2 days and then the battery started draining again.  I have deleted a number of apps that I thought might have been the culprits but the problem is still on going.  The battery will drain even if I power off the phone.   I took the phone and battery to the Verizon store where I purchased the Tour where they checked the phone and battery and said everything looked ok, they recommended doing a battery pull and see what happens.  I pulled the battery and that stops the draining until  I use the phone and then the draining starts again.  As it is now at night I power off the phone and put it on the charger but it usually will drain when I have the phone holstered during the day.  Does anybody have any ideas what might be happening and how I might fix this problem?
    Thanks;  Jon

    Hello Jon,
    In this particular case I would recommend performing a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
    First step would be to create a back up of your BlackBerry. To do this please open BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software and connect your BlackBerry Smartphone. Then click on Back Up and Restore Icon and select Back up. Make sure to note the location of the back up as we will require to access it to restore data after the reload process is complete.
    Once the BlackBerry Smartphone is backed up please follow the attached knowledge base article to reload the software on your BlackBerry Smartphone.
    Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/kb11320
    Upon completing the reload of the software I would ask that you monitor the devices battery levels prior to doing a restore of the backed up data. If you synchronize the BlackBerry Smartphone you can resync to get your organizer data back on the device.
    Thank you

  • How do I add track marks to a continuous mix?

    I purchased an album from iTunes that contains one track that is a continuous mix of music for over an hour. How do I add track marks to the mix when burning it to a cd? I would like to seperate it into smaller pieces while still preserving the continuous mix. Is this possible?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can not do it in iTunes. Well I should say, you can not do it very easily. You basically need to break the file up into many files, one for each chapter. If the files can have gaps between them (they are not continuous live a live show) you can put those files back into iTunes and then burn them to a CD. If you need them to run together seamlessly, then you may need an outside application (like Toast) to put them on a CD with no gaps. I know iTunes now supports gapless playback, but I don't know if that includes when burning to a CDR or now. I still use iTunes v6, so no experience with it.
