Why does the movie I bought off of iTunes stop every 5 seconds and then skip through the scenes it missed? ( I am playing the movie on an HP Compac )

Once the movie stops, the audio stops, but then after 5 seconds or so it will speed up to try to catch up with the rest of the movie.   I bought the movie in HD for 14.99 and if it keeps acting up like this I am afraid it's going to crash my computer.  Please, this is so frustrating

You are more lucky than me, mine will go about 8 seconds...audio stops but the song is still playing. I have to quit iTunes and occasionally I can get it to work normal for a while. Shuffle is broke, help is broke, iTunes needs a MAJOR update and QUICK!. I can't live without me musics.

  • When I play either music or movies on my ipod touch it stops every few seconds and I have to restart the song/film.  AT the same time, it won't hold a volume contol.  It jumps louder or softer, or simply jams on either very low or maximum volume.  Help

    No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

  • HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

    This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked.  Any ideas?

    Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
    If still problem contact iTunes

  • My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  does not happen with any other streaming video service.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • My ipod needs to be restored but it only stays on the "connect to itunes" for approximately 20 seconds and then turns black as if it is turned off.

    So a couple of months ago, I had to restore my new IPOD 5 TOUCH because i had forgotten the password and disabled it, so as you can imagine I am quite familiar with restoring it.
    (The last time I had synced it was the only time that I had to restore it when I first got it when I had disabled it)
    This morning I wanted to sync my ipod. So I plugged my ipod into my WINDOWS computer and waited for itunes to open, and it did just like it is supposed to. It then said itunes needed the latest update so i continued with updating it. Itunes updated, but then said that my ipod needed the latest software. I said "ok update" and thats when itunes made my ipod into DFU mode without me even touching it.
    SOOOO as you can imagine I was quite upset. I then have realized that because Itunes had moved it into DFU mode on its own, I could not manually get my ipod out of DFU mode so the only thing i was left to do was go ahead and restore it.  (correct me if Im wrong)
    My huge issue right now is that my ipod NEEDS to be restored, but it only stays on the "connect to itunes" screen for approximatley 20 seconds and then turns black as if it has been turned off. When I plug it into my computer and turn it on to the "connect to itunes" mode, it does open it in itunes and starts "extracting sofftware" but then when it turns black after 20 seconds, it closes out because my computer thinks it has turned off.
    I have tried charging it, and nothing has progressed. Im not sure if anything can be done for it right now, or if I could bring it to an apple store to fix it... it's brand new about 3 months old.
    HELP and some advice would be greatly appreciated  !
    Thanks!

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why do some songs in my library now only play for a few seconds and then skip onto another song?

    Some songs that previously played without issue now just play for the first 10 seconds or so and then skip onto the next song

    I wish I could provide you an answer, but I am experiencing the same issue myself. It's somehow iTunes related from what I have been able to figure out.
    Here are a couple of clues I've picked up so far:
    Somewhere between 20-30% of the songs in my library are affected.
    I have only seen AAC encoded songs exhibit the problem (iTunes purchased, not imported).
    I haven't seen the issue with any songs I bought after Jan 20, 2009.
    Playing the same song file in quicktime doesn't reproduce the issue.
    Affected songs skip on both iTunes and the iPod app of my iPhone 4 alike.
    Forcing the song to stop at the end through the song options doesn't resolve the problem.
    Songs skip (end) at random times from song to song, but repeatedly for each song at the same location.
    The biggest clue that I've found is that when I find an affected file, almost all songs I purchased on that date exhibit the same problem. (I have only found a few examples when it does not affect every song on the same purchase date group.)
    Some details about my setup:
    Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes version 10.6.3.25
    iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I just updated and downloaded the new version of iTunes. I then downloaded some music and now the music won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes. The tracks play for a few seconds and then skip to the next track

    I just downloaded and updated the newest version of iTunes. After updating I downloaded some new music and synced the iPod. The music doesn't play. It'll play about 30 seconds of the song and then skip automatically to the next song. I restarted the iPod. I restored it. It still didn't work. Then I tried listening to the music from my laptop straight from iTunes...and it's still doing it.
    How do I fix it?

    I'm assuming the tracks that won't play copy/are displayed with exclamation marks. This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Why does my cursor continually snap to a screen corner every ten seconds or so?

    Does it happen when

    * when it is started in [[safe mode]]?

  • How do I count and display events every few seconds and then convert the counted values into events per minute? (for a heart rate monitor)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm building a heart rate monitor as a final year project with my lab partner using the NI USB-6009 and Labview 2009. We have managed to obtain a signal using a photo transciever, smooth it out and count the events, however the count is incremental.
    We wish to count the number of pulses we obtain for a few seconds (5-10 for example) and then use this value to obtain a pulse rate in beats per minute (e.g. 10 pulses in the first 10 seconds would give an estimated BPM of 60 etc etc).
    Does anybody have ides on how we could implement this? We have tried timed loops, elapsed time VI's and other things but nothing gives us what we need.
    Thanks in advance for any help that is offered.
    Jeshua Graham.

    We are very new to Labview. We are taking a raw signal from our DAQ and then using VIs to filter and then trigger counts on rising edges. I have attached our vi file to this post for you to look at (I hope that is what you mean by code).

  • I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song.  How do I download onto my Mac again?

    I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song.  Can I download this song again?  How? 

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • HT1399 I just downloaded a cd but most of the songs stop at diffrent times and then skip to the nexts song

    I just downloaded a cd but most of the songs stop at diffrent times during play and skip to the next song how do I fix that?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.
