Trouble playing music through iTunes

A problem has recently occurred with regards to playing music through iTunes. Whenever a song reaches around the half-way mark, it suddenly starts slowing down and becomes riddled with crackles. This only started last night, and is the first time I've ever had this problem. Does anyone know what the problem, and how to rectify it?

Does this happen in other programs? Have you tried updating your soundcard drivers?

    Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

  • Cannot play music through Itunes on work computer

    This has worked in the past but for some reason today it isn't working. I have Itunes on my home PC and that is what I sync my Ipod to. I also have it at work just so I can listen to my music through my laptop. When I hook it up to my laptop it flashes the Do not disconnect message forever, doesnt go away. I can eject the Ipod and listen to it fine through the Ipod but I cannot get it to play songs on the laptop. They all show up but are greyed out and I cannot click on them to play. The Ipod shows up in Itunes, says nothing about Updating Ipod like it normally does when it is updating. Any idea how to fix this?

    Yep! At the bottom of the iTunes window there's a button with an iPod icon on it. Press it and it'll being you to the iPod preferences window. Select the manual update option and select ok (to the pop-up window and to exit the preferences window). The songs won't be greyed out anymore, just remember to set it back to automatic update when you go home. Hope that helps.

  • Playing music through iTunes on AirPort Express

    I have the following configuration:
    Airport Express (AX) ver 6.3 firmware
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Airport Admin Utility ver 4.1
    Linksys WRV200 wireless router - all wired and wireless computers connect to Internet and LAN here.
    My AX is configured to join my existing wireless network.
    I want to play music from any computer on my network-wired or wireless via iTunes and AX.
    Up until 2 months ago, I was able to play music to my AX from any wired or wireless computer on my network. I'm not sure that anything has changed with my configuration but now I can only see the AX in iTunes on wireless computers. When use the AirPort admin utility on a wired computer, I cannot see the AX in the base station chooser window but I can choose "other" and manually enter in the AX IP address and password and connect to the AX and configure the AX from the wired computer.
    I have the AX configured to enable airtunes over ethernet and have all iTunes clients configured to look for remote speakers. Can any one help here?

    Swipe from the bottom and a window will come up with the airplay option

  • Itunes 7.0.1 installed, now I can't play music through itunes? please help!

    After installing itunes version 7.0.1, everything seems fine, apart from the fact that if I either double click a song to play it, or even press the play button on itunes, it doesn't play at all... what's going on?

    hmmmm. perhaps let's first try working through the possibilities from this document:

  • When playing music through iTunes, it no longer starts at a random song.

    I have it set to shuffle and it used to start with a random song.  Now, it always starts with the first song in my library. I prefer the random start, but after the last update, it no longer does it.  Can I change this in a setting or something??

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • When playing music in itunes, music stops when screen shuts down

    I am using Windows Vista, when the screen shuts down for power saving. The song playing will continue, but the next one will not begin. This is when I am just playing music through itunes on computer. Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Hello TheDonsCheek,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • Music speeds up when playing music in itunes!

    hi everyone,
    i recently bought a creative xmod and when i play music through itunes now the music speeds up to an insane speed, does anyone know how to fix this? i couldn't find any help on the creative tech support but i sae that others had this problem.thanks.

    First thing is try playing back one of your music files with, say, Quicktime (just browse to the file in Finder, right-click or ctrl-click and choose "open with Quicktime").
    If the music plays back normally then your issue is with iTunes and is not hardware related.
    See if [this link|http://lfnet.net/blog/?page_id=21] helps you out.

  • How to play music through my external hard drive through iTunes on my mac?

    I recently purchased a external hard drive for my mac for my movies and music, as my disc was almost full.
    I have spent HOURS searching how to play music through my itunes without transferring them onto the mac.
    BUT everytime I click media destination folder in prefrences and advance, the whole music library in my external hard drive folder is  greyed out, and when i click it nothing happens.
    PLEASE someone help...

    First, a brand new drive is likely formatted for use with Windows.  You need to reformat it for use with Mac.
    Pondini: Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
    Second, you are better off moving the whole iTunes library to the external drive, not just the media.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

    I had my iTunes set up to play music through my receiver & speakers upstairs. I have airport with RCA plug ins to my receiver auxiliary jacks. Homesharing is on & everything checks out but it no longer works. Any suggestions? I have no firewall & I have removed Smith clean program to fix this issue. I am running OS 10.8.2

    I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

    i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically.  a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

    Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

  • When I play songs through iTunes, it splits up my albums...

    Sometimes when I listen to music through iTunes on my computer, when I click on a song to play, or click the skip arrow the song I select will dissapear and start a whole new album...same artist name,album etc. What's causing this, its really annoying to have to keep re-ripping cd's. All the cd's I ripped are store bought albums.

    You are not alone. I am suffering the same problem too. I think there are quite a few people with the same problem but there doesn't seem to be any action from Apple.
    Have either of you resolve the problem? Or do we just agree that Apple are useless, and should learn to avoid them like the plague?
