Why does Itunes stutter when using AE on a wired network?

Itunes stutters badly when I try to use AE with remote speakers. I am running on an older PC with 512 RAM and a Penitum 4 2.6 GHz Chip. All my Apple Itunes software and firmware is up to date. I have already gone to Quicktime and am now using Safe Mode with Waveout only. So that doesn't work even though many posts suggest this is a solution. I also note that when turn off the remote speakers Itunes plays back perfectly on my computer speakers. I monitored my CPU activity and it does seem to correspond with the stuttering but it only reaches a top of 15-20% so its not like I have taxing the system. Also its not a wireless problem since I am doing this with an AE unit in wired mode (though I am using a powerline system to wire my house rather than ethernet cable). I have searched high and low for an answer. I am guessing that my old processer just cannot handle the demands that the AE unit requires to stay in sync or something along those lines. Thanks for any help or wisdom.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem. When I connect to the AE wirelessly itunes streams music to it and through my amp / speakers without any skips / stuttering. When i dock the laptop (which disables the wireless card) and itunes streams using the wired lan it starts to skip every 5 or 6 seconds after approximately 4 minutes of play. I have also tried changing the quicktime settings (though feel these may only fix the skipping problem when playing through the PC directly) and the buffer time in itunes. This problem is really annoying, can anyone help?

  • Why does iTunes pause when I use Shopkick?

    I like to listen to iTunes and use Shopkick at the same time, but apparently I can't.  I've checked all the settings and even turning off the sound on the Shopkick app doesn't prevent iTunes from pausing the music whenever I open up Shopkick.  What's the deal?  Is there absolutely no way to listen to iTunes while using Shopkick?

    Shopkick seems to be an iOS app. If so, this question will be better asked in the iPhone forum; you'll be more likely to get an answer there. Be sure to include the version of iOS running on your iPhone when you repost.

  • Why does itunes pauses when I import a CD?

    I use my Mini as a music server with all music stored on an external RAID. If I import a CD while iTunes is playing music, it will finish the song and then pause the playback. Is there a workaround so it can both import and play at the same time?

    I strongly suspect it is the way iTunes is programmed.  I think there is supposed to be a preference setting somewhere about playing back a CD while importing it, but importing a CD and playing something else...?

  • Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

    Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
    I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
    Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

    Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?

  • Since upgrading to Lion why does Safari freeze when using an email link?

    I have a 21.5 in iMac (purchased late 2009). Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 I have had problems opening links from my email. Safari is my default browser, and now I when I open a link from my Mail, the browser functions do not respond.  The page freezes and does not allow me to scroll at all, nor will any of the links work for me to click on what should be an active link.  When I open a new browser page, it is fine--whether Safari, Firefox or Chrome.  It's just when I open from Mail. 
    Anyone else reporting this, and is there something I need to change to make it work?  I'm not very technical with the Apple products...thanks!

    Thanks again but I have no peripheral devices connected. It's very annoying whenever I close the lid the logo stays lit and the computer does not go to sleep (light on front stays solid white). Each time it happens I have to open and close the lid 3-4 times before it finally goes to sleep. It's as if the computer gets hung up trying to go to sleep.

    As far as I remember it is mentioned in the tutorial. However this is a
    very basic C programming concept, that the caller has to allocate and
    deallocate buffers passed to functions. This is because there are
    basically a myriad of ways to allocate memory and if the allocation and
    deallocation is not done by the same entity you have to exactly specify
    which memory pool has to be used. Windows itself has about three or four
    different memory management libraries and most C runtime libraries add
    th
    eir own again, although the Microsoft Visual C runtime library does
    redirect its malloc() calls to one of the WinAPI memory management
    calls. But Borland runtimes typically have their own meory management
    library and if a DLL created in Borland C or Delphi would allocate
    memory and you would try to deallocate it in a Visual C application you
    would get very bad crashes.

  • Why does iTunes crash when launching WWDC11 videos?

    It does not matter which video I try to view, it just crashes.  At the moment, I am downloading the latest version of iT which may or may not help.
    This is not the first time this has happened, so any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I just finished installing iT 10 and now I see that it has created two WWDC 11 Collections, for some reason.
    Bottom line : I can now view my videos.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

    When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.
