Why can't I fast forward through music bought on itunes in my shuffle?

it's so weird. I purchased the new Peeping Tom cd and a Jesu Ep and when I try to fast forward through the tracks on my ipod it simply skips to the next track. All my other imported music (all from cd's) will let me do this with no problem? Do itunes tracks always do this? I've imported several albums and singles over the past 2 years but I don't recall this problem. Is this due to the QT update they issued? every time i mess with itunes it seems something goes awry. "sigh."
powermac 64, itunes 604.3, QT time update 7.1.1   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   itunes 604.3, QT time update 7.1.1

No, not all ... just some of the purchased music tracks, and most of those concentrated in recent releases.
Your options are to either work with ITMS Support to get your d/l tracks replaced (frequently they'll be okay on the second try, but not always), or can go through a complicated sequence of burning off to CD and then reimporting the track (which seems to almost always work).

    Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

    msjones,
    Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

  • Why can't I fast forward my podcasts?

    I've just installed the new (disastrous) version of iTunes and I can't fast forward my episodes! This means that if I don't listen/watch an episode until the end and just click on something else on iTunes (for example, another episode of another podcast) I'll have to watch the whole thing again! This is most annoying, as my episodes are typically one-hour long. What is going on?
    I also noticed my old episodes (the ones I intended to keep so I could watch again) are mostly gone, and I didn't have any backups because, until now, if I wanted to keep my epidodes, all I had to do was not delete them.
    Seriously, I do love Mac but iTunes is really not the best thing they've ever come up with.

  • Why Can't I Fast-Forward the Apple Special Event - September 1, 2010???

    I started watching the 9/1/10 special event keynote and then had to come back to it later. But, I can't seem to fast-forward the video to the place I stopped watching.
    Do I have to watch 30 minutes of the beginning again??
    Ugh...

    I don't even have the usual scrubber or any controls at all!
    Must be a setting somewhere. It'd be a riot if it turned out to be Click to Flash!
    Ah! More rummaging--here, not Google--netted the podcast via iTunes

    Much thanks to alancito's post in this thread

    Apple should put this on its home page, too! Hope this helps someone else!
    Spoke too soon... first time I started it, I had controls. No longer. Can't get 'em back. Wanted to jump in past the Game Center biz which I have already viewed.
    Any bright ideas?

    i was just wondering why can i not read my books on my computer that i just bought online on the itunes store. do i have to download anything speffic?

    ibooks bought from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch - so far Apple haven't made a Mac or PC reader for them, so you won't be able to read them on your Mac.

  • Cannot fast forward in music video mode.  How can I accomplish this

    Cannot fast forward in music video mode.  How can I accomplish this.  Cannot rewind either.  Am I missing something?  If I change the Music Video to TV Show or Movie can both rewind or fast forward.   For now all concert videos are in Movies, which might be the right place for them, but kinda weird Itunes does this.

    I am by no mean an expert and I'm sure there are easier ways to accomplish this... however one way is to do something like this:
    -Use selection tool to select all blue background, soften the edges of the selection then delete the selection.
    -Here you will have a white background and dull looking image with not the greatest edges.
    -Zoom waaaay in and use a softer eraser brush on the edges.
    -Use various sharpening, brightening, white levels adjustments to make your image prettier.
    -Pay attention to the diamond, select the diamond with a selector tool and sharpen, etc. Consider adding a layer to add additional detail to just the diamond.
    -Consider using the clone stamp to smooth out any markings on the silver tone band.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

    Hi
    In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
    In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
    If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
    I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
    Thanks

    Try:
    - Try a regular pair of headphones
    - 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.
    - 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there a way to fast forward through audio files?  Like a lecture class I am taking?  thanks!

    Is there any way to fast forward through audio files in I-Tunes?  I have some lecture recordings that I need to review....  If you cannot do it in I-Tunes, is there a program you could recommend?
    Thanks!

  • Unable to fast forward through podcasts

    I've recently noticed that I can't fast forward through podcasts on my iPod touch, specifically with NPR All Songs Considered ones (I don't listen to any other ones, so it may not be specific to these ones). Its annoying because I can't pick up from where I left off listening. Every time I try using the bar to move through the podcast, it starts over from the beginning. Is this intentional? Is it specific to the podcast?

    This is a long standing problem with iPods and appears to be specific to podcasts that get encoded using LAME, arguably the best available encoder anywhere.
    From what I can tell from searching over the years, this is due to the iPod looking at a very old style header (XING) instead of the proper field in the LAME set header. This is as near as I can figure out from the posts.
    This causes problems like the iPod thinks the track is shorter than it really is (a good example of this is a long MP3 like one disc of an audiobook) and stops prematurely. Very annoying.
    In the case of the NPR podcasts, the bug in the iPod causes crashes when you try to fast forward or seek.
    Neither of these problems appear to be related in any way to "remember playback position", so don't necessarily go down that route.
    An easy way to check for this issue on a podcast is to highlight it, and then right click, select Get Info. If you see LAME as the encoding, look out, your iPod will possibly not play it correctly.
    These same podcasts play back absolutely fine on any other player, and over the years it has been consistently narrowed down to a bug in the iPod.
    I sure wish Apple would fix this. I just had the same problem with a recent podcast on my 2nd gen Nano, so we loaded it onto my son's brand new iPod. I thought surely Apple would have fixed this by now, but sure enough, still broke on the latest Nano version!
