Why is my music choppy and dragging?

Windows media playere just started dragging and being choppy three days ago. On a side note,all my music in my library doubled. Can someone please help me?

It hasn't been synced across yet - it's in the cloud - connect to iTunes, make sure you've got sync music checked wait, and wait, and wait, eventually once sync finnished it should all be there - HTH

Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

Am trying to transfer iTunes library to an external disk for back-up purposes. have followed normal protocol i.e. locating iTunes file in Music folder and dragging across to external disk icon. However, nothing seems to happen. Any advice please?

Am trying to transfer an iTunes library to an external disk for back up. Have followed normal instructions by locating iTunes folder in Music file and dragging across the iTunes folder to the external disk icon. Nothing happens. No notifications. Just a very pregnant pause. Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The external drive must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", exFAT or FAT32, because OS X can't write in NTFS partitions by default.
As you just want the library on the external drive to make a backup of your library, you can format it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html (Note that you won't be able to use the external drive with PCs unless you install a special application in them).
Finally, drag your iTunes folder to your external drive

Why can't l click and drag a photo from my pictures library to my iphone?

I am trying to move photos from my laptop to my iphone. I have tried clicking and dragging individual photos from my picture library to the iphone but l receive a message saying my iphone is not responding.
I have tried syncing via itunes but when l want to sync a further folder it replaces the one which as already been synced?
Any ideas?

There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
All of your media should be in iTunes already.
If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

Why has my music disappeared and how can I get it back?

So its been a few weeks since I last used my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 64gb), and this evening I decided to resync it with iTunes as I had added a couple of new albums these last few weeks (Coldplay and an xmas album, not that it matters of course). After syncing, my iPod now only shows these two albums, but not the other 50gb+ that I have on there. They're still showing and playing in iTunes, and everything checks out when the iPod is connected.... it shows I have it filled with the right amount of audio/apps/etc. But no matter how many times I resync, the old music just isn't showing up on my iPod anymore. I've synced plenty of times before without having any problems.
Anyone have any advice? I'd prefer to fix it without wiping if possible, as 55gb of music and apps takes a **** of a long time to restore.

I am not sure if my problem is identical to yours but will post what I have discovered for the missing Greenday music from my daughter's ipod. It has been an aggravation to have to keep putting this music in and after a period of time, it disappears. This is what I have discovered as of yesterday. I hope it helps someone.
How to keep music/picture files in your ipod:
I have noticed that my daughter's music and pictures that have been put in her ipod from our PC files happen to disappear at random times. The photos have disappeared twice and the music 4 times. I think I have finally found a solution to this problem.
When you are in itunes, you will notice that music files have checkmarks beside each song. The downloaded music files (bought from itunes) are the ones that always stay in her ipod. It is the PC transferred music that disappears. This holds true for the photos too. The ones she takes with her ipod don't disappear but the ones we put in her ipod from our PC do.
When in itunes, you will see the checkmarks beside each individual song when under music category. That is the itunes menu and the songs that have checkmarks that are your PC files, do not automatically sync each time that you sync your ipod. The downloaded stuff from itunes automatically does, by default, so I will explain what needs to be done so that your ipod knows this too.
Connect your ipod into your PC. Go into itunes. Click on "ipod" (under "Devices" in left hand column) to whatever you named your ipod. We call my daughter's "marley". So click on "ipod name". On this page you will see your ipod name, capacity version, software version, serial #, etc. If you want your music, the categories are listed at the top of this page, so click on music. You will see, at the top, a checkmark beside "sync music" and boxes underneath with "selected playlist, etc." and other boxes with "include....etc.". Put checkmarks in boxes for which you want. At the bottom right hand corner, you will see a box called "Albums". In this box, anything that you have downloaded from itunes is checkmarked by default but any files that you have put in from your PC will be unchecked. Put checkmarks in these boxes, click "apply", and sync your ipod after doing this. You shouldn't lose these files again.
The same thing applies to photos. Go back to main ipod page mentioned above. Click on photos. There should be a checkmark in "sync photos from my pictures". Also the circle with selected photos should be filled in. Underneath that you will see "Folders". Put checkmarks in the folders that you want. This should help you to not lose photos. I have not had issues with video, etc. as we have not put these type of files into ipod yet. This has only applied to music and photos as of this post.
Hope this makes sence and do hope that it helps someone.

Why can't I click and drag clone brush??

I'm working with a trial version of Aperture and trying to clone out a couple of annoying background details. When I use the clone tool, I cannot click and drag or "paint" with it. I only get a circular clone that is the diameter of the brush. I don't want to clone out the problem areas with a bunch of little circles! I want a smooth, painted cloned area. Is this possible with Aperture or do I need to go back to Photoshop....

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally.

Why watch one Music Video and then Stop (and the next one? no fun)

I would like to know if Aple TV let "Music Videos" play without stop.
I would like to see all my Music Videos without stop,... but with "Aple Tv" i can see only one, and then if i want to see an other one, i have to do it by my self. I thought ok, maybe i have to have a "Playlist" with all my "Music-Videos" and then i could see all of them... but it didn´t work either.
Since i discovered that i cannot do that, i stop buying "Music-Videos"
Can anyone help me pls and tell me how to do it?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
As Chenks says and you have discovered, continuous play of music (or for that matter any) video, is not currently supported.
You may want to check future updates to see if this feature gets included, but nobody here knows whether this will happen or not. There is the possibility that the lack of this feature is intended and is omitted to protect the unit from being left playing continuous video 24/7, but who knows.

Why is my music stopping and starting, or siri popping up while in the car

I play my music out of the headphone jack to the car stereo, and when charging it will randomly start and stop the music if in music app, or otherwise activate siri.
I have had this problem on and off, through all 3 of my iphone 5 that I have had. This is really distracting while driving to constantly hit play, or dismiss siri. It doesn't seem to do it when not charging, I have had multiple lightning cables, Multiple car chargers, and multiple vehicles, multiple iPhones, to try to figure out why,
Please tell me something else to get it working, as I drive all day and use gps all the time so I can't escape charging it.

Why is my music crackling and breaking up?

Just uploaded my library from an external hard drive. Seems like it worked fine but when I started playing songs they were crackling and breaking up. My computer and speakers work fine playing music from any other source.

Why can't I select and drag files around in the preview area?

Out of nowhere. I have had no issues and now it is pretty much unusable. I thought maybe it was a bug so I uninstalled/reinstalled., There was an update when I went to install it the second time. I thought the update would help but there's no change. Help please!

Do you have the Google Chrome "Pushbullet" extension installed on your computer? If so, uninstall it.
Thanks,
