Weird quirk in itunes, scanning through a song..

when iTunes is in full screen mode if you hold down the forward button it scans through the song just fine, but when you have the mini player displayed, when you hold the forward button it scans for about a second then goes to playing normal. It wont scan through a song.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone verify this?
1.42ghz mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1 gb ram, 17" dell, 250 gb external

never mind, seems to be fixed.

When I open iTunes or even change a preference, iTunes scans through all of my apps. How can I stop this?

To get straight to the point, whenever I open iTunes or close a pop-up from iTunes, it starts scanning through my collection of applications. This has slowly got on my patient nerve. It wasn't always this was. Before I transfered all my data from my Mac to Pc, it worked fine. So I am wondering what is it doing, and how can I stop this. Bare in mind I have alot of apps. Thanks in advance for the help!
Sincerely,

You can only use the German iTunes/App store if you are located in Germany. The German store is in the German language.

Scanning through individual songs - how?

I apologize up front since I'd imagine this is a pretty basic thing, that if I knew what to search for, I'd find an answer for. However, thus far, nada.
Here's my issue - I want to be able to scan back and forth through songs as they play on my iPhone 3G, but there's no little bar at the top of the screen, you know, the one with the grey dot that tracks the song's progress? I've seen it a couple times, but it's usually nor there. I have some books on tape I'm listening to and it would be very beneficial if I had the ability to skip back 10-15 seconds when I need to. RIght now, the only options are skip back to the beginning or skip to the next track - neither of which is helpful since each segment I'm listening to is over one hour long. I could go into an mp3 editor and break it up, but that's time consuming. Besides, I KNOW that my iPhone should be able to do it. Thanks in advance!

The little bar you are referring to is called the scrubber.
To show the scrubber for the song playing, tap anywhere on the album coverart area for the song that is playing. If lyrics are available for the song that is playing, this also shows the lyrics.

ITunes Radio on Apple TV Automatically Skips through Artists/Songs

Recently when listening to iTunes Radio through my Apple TV it will just start skipping through artists between songs. Sometimes when a song ends a new one will start with no problem. Most times though, it will just start scanning through artists/songs, sometimes scanning through 20-30+ artists before it plays the next song. This just started yesterday and I have the latest update installed. Any clues?

I am having the same problem. Here is some info:
ISP: Cox
Router: ASUS RT-AC68U
Computer: PC Running Windows 7 in 64-bit mode
iTunes: 12.1.2.27
AppleTV: 7.2
iTunes Radio on the PC would just flat out not work. It would load the song name into the status bar and then just sit there. You could skip songs and change radio stations with no results.
iTunes Radio on the AppleTVs (I have 2 of them) would work for the first song, then skip 20-30 songs until settling on one to play. Curiously, it was consistently either the same song again or another song from a group of 3-4 artists. If left running long enough, it would play only the same 5-6 songs from the same 3-4 artists. This phenomenon was the same across multiple days of use.
I tried changing my iTunes password, updating my iTunes contact and payment information, flushing and changing DNS servers multiple times, and running trace routes via the Command prompt to check for excessive latency issues. Nothing. The only thing that worked was forcing my AppleTV devices to connect to my hot-spotted cellphone (Verizon) and that worked every time.
One thing that HAS worked is to disable the hardware firewall on my router. So far, so good.
Can anyone from Apple tell me if I can setup certain ports to forward within the router (or something else) so I can re-enable the HW firewall, yet still use iTunes radio successfully?

My iphone 4s ios 7.0.2 had songs.I had put the songs through itunes. Now when i wanted to put more songs in my iphone through itunes, i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs are in my iphone now. But in my iphone it shows no songs.why

I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why? and how to fix?

I don't recognise the symptoms as such, but here are a couple of things to try.
Check all tracks
Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track to track playback. Go to the Songs view and CTRL-click on an empty checkbox, or CTRL-click on a filled one twice. This will ensure all tracks are checked.
Repair permissions
To make sure that your iTunes folder (or media folder if located separately) has the correct permissions, right-click on the folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but later versions of Windows shouldn't be too different.
You can also clear the Read-Only flag for the entire library from the Properties dialog.

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

TS3217 When I try to skip one song on my ipone, it skips through several. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone if I go into my itunes and select that song. So this tells me that the song can be played, therefore, it is not the song.

When I try to skip through a song on my iPhone, it skips through several songs. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone (when I go into to itunes library on my phone), so I know that it's not the song. I have the latest softeware downloaded on both my iphone and itunes. In fact, this only recently started occuring when I reconnected my iphone to my laptop about a month ago to install the new updates on itunes.
I also have an itouch and an ipod, both of which have been updated at the same time as my iphone and they do not skip through songs.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
BTW this is the iPod touch forum

There are certain albums and songs I don't want my children having access to in iTunes Match through their iPod and iPad. Is there a way to control what songs are visible on different devices?

ITunes Stops Playing Partway Through a Song, but Isn't Paused

First, the short version of the problem. iTunes will stop partway through a song (not at the same place each time and it happens with any song) but it doesn't pause the song, it looks like it is playing, the icon in the library shows that it's playing, and the play/pause button shows 'pause' (as in it is playing now so the button turns to the 'pause' button) but yet the song isn't playing and the song track bar isn't progressing.
Now on to what steps we've tried that haven't work.
1) Reinstalling iTunes
2) Moving the music library to another hard drive
3) Uninstalling iTunes, re-installing, and then only loading 1 song in
4) Reinstalling Windows
Here's a bit more detail on the problem. Movies play in iTunes with no problems. We can sync an iPhone and an iPad with no problems. When the song stops playing, hitting the pause button and then hitting play again, even repeatedly, doesn't do anything - the song still doesn't play. Double clicking on another song to start it playing doesn't work. Oddly enough, double clicking on several songs in quick succession out of frustration does sometimes (but not always) start one of those songs playing but it too will eventually stop playing in the same way. Songs generally stop at around 20-30 seconds but some get over a minute and on rare occasions a couple songs in a row will play before a song finally stops playing. This problem started when we added another hard drive to this computer and moved the music library for one hard drive to another - thus the suspicion that moving the music library back where it was or to some other hard drive might help. Even with a fresh install of Windows and iTunes with just one song (in its usual place under My Music on the C Drive) still have this problem.
I'm at a loss as to what to even try next. Anyone else ever have a similar problem? Any ideas on what could cause such an odd problem?

This was happening to me since I updated to itunes 10.
Here's a solution I found and so far, it seems to work.
• quit itunes
• Go to your user finder > library > preferences
Drag the following 3 files to your desktop:
• com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
• com.apple.iTunes.plist
• com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Restart your computer. Restart itunes. You can trash the 3 files you dragged to your desktop.
So far this has been working for me.
If it didn't work, trash your itunes folder and reinstall with a clean copy of itunes downloaded from Apple.
Good luck.

Itunes skip through songs when playing or importing CDs

I have been using itunes for a while without problems. I recently upgraded to v7.1. When I now try to play or import CDs, the program quickly skips through the songs, but does not actually play or import anything. If I try to play the CD through another program, it works just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I agree with Dave - reinstall or update your drivers. If you need some directions on that, start here

After synchronising, the iPod song starts part way through the song. Same song starts fine on iTunes. Wassup?

Why is it that after I synchronise my iPod with iTunes the track on my iPod starts part way through the song? Only happens with the occasional song and is not widespread. The iTunes song on my laptop is fine - when I play it from iTunes it starts from the start.
Any help would be very welcome

You're in the exact same situation as me, and I can't seem to find help with this problem.

Music I have downloaded through iTunes, some of the songs have cut off half way through the song, I have even tried to sync them again but have not been able to restore it, how do I restore the music lost?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

ITunes 11 Not Displaying Song Playing or Progress Through Song (Mac)

I'm using a 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I updated to iTunes 11 a few months back and since then I haven't been able to see the current song's information - for example the song title, artist's name, and progress through the song - at the top of iTunes while it's playing. Is this a new feature of iTunes 11 or is there some way I can adjust my setting to show the current song again?

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:
Re: iTunes 10.1 Missing Text
But if you're using Windows 7, try itunesTRK's suggestion from the following post:

We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.
