ITunes :: Choppy Audio Playback - Mac OS X 10.6?

May 20, 2012

it basically appeared today, and I haven't changed anything, to my knowledge.  Playback is choppy, with some stuttering and static noises...It does this even when playing straight to the computer speakers...I've disconnected my router to make it isn't the culprit (it slows down my internet connection quite a lot).

ITunes For Mac :: Movies Have Choppy Audio Playback?

Sep 5, 2014

I have a Mac Mini 2011, I started having audio playback problems with about 90 percent of my purchased Itunes movies. The audio is fine as long as you don't maximize the viewing window, as soon as you do the audio become choppy. I keep all my movies on an external hard drive, 1Terrabyte Western Digital Mybook (the one recommended for macs. I even tried copying a movie onto the computer hard drive with the same result. This all seemed to start after I had my mac mini hard drive replaced.

Applications :: Choppy ITunes Video Playback On PC

Mar 23, 2009

why are all my iTunes videos so damn choppy?! High Quality Youtube videos are "ok," but HD Youtube videos are just as bad as trying to watch anything on iTunes.

what do i need to upgrade (word choice?) to successfully watch iTunes videos crisply. i'm assuming it's like a graphics card or a processor or something. i could buy a decent computer in the next couple of months but i'm not because my parents are strongly against me upgrading anything because i'm going to college Fall 2010, so they said i'll just get a high-end something or other when the time comes. the point of what i just rambled about was is there something on my current PC that i can upgrade?

MacBook Air :: ITunes Choppy Video Playback

Apr 1, 2010

I have a Rev A MBA but for the first time I just downloaded a TV show from Itunes and tried watching it back. It was very jumpy, freezing and video and audio were sometimes out of sync. I turned off all other applications, which improved it, but did not solve it. I tried downloading a second one and had the same problem.

Is this common? I would have thought of all applications to work well, Itunes should be one of them.

MacBook Pro :: Bad Audio From ITunes Playback

Jun 28, 2012

I seem to be having problems either with hardware or iTunes. First, I notice a delayed response with iTunes when pressing play. It didn't used to take so long to start a track, or even unpause a track. This is with only one other program open, Firefox. Also, with mutiple files from different albums, there are pops, dropouts, and clicks when listening to music. It sounds like I'm moving the 1/8th jack around in the headphone output. This would lead me to believe I'm having a hardware issue. It happens with headphones or speakers.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

PowerPC :: PowerMac G3 - Choppy Video Playback

Jan 25, 2007

I'm currently running an old powermac G3 that's fine with everything except video playback.

My question, is it the 300mhz processor, the video card (stock ATI rage), or a combination of both?

Before it's said, I would buy a new computer if I could afford it.

Applications :: Choppy Playback During Time Machine Backup

Jan 11, 2010

When time machine backup is running, iTunes playback is sometimes choppy. I have a brand new 27in iMac (i5) and not much else running. I'm new to Mac and not sure what I should expect in terms of performance impact when time machine is running. No other problems with the iMac. I've had it over a month and all good. I'm also pretty sure I've played music while time machine is running before without any issues. Also, time machine backup takes a lot longer than I expect (seems like 10-15 minutes but I didn't clock it). If it's running once per hour, the diff each hour should be small. And I'm not doing much besides playing music, doing some email and surfing the web. Is there a way to see what Time Machine thinks has changed and has decided to back up this hour?

ITunes :: Change Playback Display From Audio Levels To Normal?

Mar 24, 2012

when I'm playing something in iTunes, in the small window centered over the Library, I now get an audio level bar display instead of what I would call the normal, default display (shows the item being played, artist, title and all that, plus a progress bar showing where you are in the piece).  I can't find a thing about this online elsewhere so far, and have no idea what the iTunes nomenclature for this function or the small centered window above the Library.

ITunes For Mac :: 11.2.2 - Momentary Audio Drop Outs During Playback Of Songs?

Mac Mini :: New Mac Mini - Choppy Video Playback In VLC For Mkv Or Avi Files

Sep 30, 2010

Just bought the new mac mini with HDMI out - 2.66Ghz, 8 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD

A lot of mkv or avi files I playback appear pretty choppy in VLC - my primary app for watching movies and tv shows.

I have a Drobo with two 2 TB SATA drives where I store all my stuff and which is connected to my mini via firewire 800.

I've tried playing the same video back from both the Drobo and from the internal hard drive, to see if the choppiness was on account of the external drive or not. No difference really. A choppy video remains choppy from either place.

It's pretty strange because some 1080p videos play just fine, with no choppiness whatsoever, while other 720p videos or even standard definition divx files are still choppy.

MacBook Pro :: Audio Get Choppy When Cinema Display Wakes Up

Jun 25, 2009

I have a new 15" MBP attached to a 24" ACD. If any sort of audio is playing through the display's speakers while the display (just the display, not the whole computer) is asleep and I wake it up, the audio gets all choppy/static-y until I pause and restart whatever the audio source is (e.g. iTunes).

Intel Mac :: Audio Gets Choppy And Becomes Unusable After A Few Weeks Of Uptime

Jun 21, 2012

I'm running a fully-loaded 2011 iMac (still the latest model as of this writing) and it stays up 24x7 (it's a work machine that is constantly compiling and testing software).  I listen to music, mainly using Spotify, during the day.  Parallels, VPN Tracker, Skype, and Chrome is always on as well. 

After 20-30 days, the audio, across the board, starts to get choppy (music, Skype, even system sounds).  After a day or so, it eventually gets to where the choppiness is so bad that audio is completely unusable.  The only thing that I've found that fixes it is a reboot.  Sigh...  I've tried closing every application, plugging and unplugging the speakers, and chanting, and nothing but rebooting helps.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to "restart" the audio system specifically.

MacBook Pro :: Audio Playback Stuttering On I7?

Jun 3, 2010

Is anyone else having an issue which the '10 MBPs have problems with audio playback in iTunes? It happens on all songs a couple of times every song (even purchased from the iTunes store) whether it's the only application open or not. I'm not having other problems with iTunes video, it's just stuttering playback.

QuickTime :: Different Echo On Audio Playback QT 10.1?

Mar 13, 2012

i have been making backup QT movies of a whole bunch of Beta SP tapes using an AJA Ki Pro to record ProRes 422 files.  I have used QT7pro to trim these movies and add metadata.  Played back on QT7 (7.6.6) they sound find but playing the same movie on QT player 10.1 there is an echo on the audio as if one track has been knocked back about 6 or 7 frames. Using QT7 to set Ch1 and 2 to mono or stereo makes no difference, just spaces the echo out.

Applications :: 5.1 Audio Playback From Digital Files?

Apr 9, 2010

I'm looking to digitize my DVD library and be able to play back the files with surround sound. The actual digitization process isn't the issue here, but I want to know how I can go about playing back the files and not losing the surround sound. I'm planning on buying a new mac mini to do this and connecting a mini-toslink cable up to my receiver. What application should I be using to get the audio playback?

MacBook Pro :: Popping Sound During Audio Playback?

May 26, 2010

Since a couple of days I'm noticing a popping sound during audio playback through my external speakers. That means when playing back a video or music through iTunes, basically always when there's audio playing. I'm in the process of figuring out if it also happens on my regular integrated speakers.

My MBP is the recently released 15" Core i7 model. Only thing I changed is I added an Intel SSD.

Any thoughts as to what it can be? Or where to start looking for a solution?

Hardware :: Connecting IMac To HD TV - Audio / Video Playback?

Jun 5, 2009

I have a 2G iMac and I have it connected to a Philips HD TV with a mini-dvi to dvi adapter that is connected to a HDMI-to-DVI video cable. I also have a Y audio cable connected iMac to the AV1 on the TV. The problem is I can only select one source on my TV, either AV1 or HDMI 1. If I select AV1 I can hear the audio from the video streaming on my computer (no video shows on the TV), but if I select HDMI 1 I can only see my desktop background no audio or video. How can I get both the video and audio to play at the same time? Why am I only seeing my background and not video?

Final Cut Pro X :: Sync Audio Playback To External Monitor?

Dec 5, 2014

Is there any way in FCPX to delay the audio playback to be in sync with an external monitor.

In FCP7 it was called "Frame delay".

I have no standalone audio delay available.

I´m cutting music videos and while the external video (BM Intensity Extreme via HDMI) is only delayed 2-3 frames, it is virtually useless...

Choppy Vids In ITunes On IBook

Jul 1, 2012

Okay, got an iBook G4, 1.2 ghz, 1.2 gb ram, OS 10.4.11.Made it a Frankenmac, hooked it up to the TV (converter) and a 2 TB ext drive (down to <200 gb).Some vids play fine, some are choppy. Choppier now than before, wondering if the ext drive's dwindling free space is a factor, may have to get a second. Even so, still was choppy early on.Looked at the info of the smooth vids vs the choppy vids. Seems the choppy ones have higher bitrates, or different apps used to code them. BTW, all mp4.Guessing it might be a bitrate thing, though others w/ very low bitrates are choppy, too.

iBook G4 (12-inch Late 2004), Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Applications :: ITunes Video Choppy/lagging

Mar 9, 2006

I gave the video content on the iTMS a shot tonight.

I bought the Lewis Black stand up show. Lewis is hysterical of course, and while the resolution is less than most pirated media I have seen, it was good enough for me for two dollars.

However, I have noticed that at times it just sorta lags/skips. It's like I ma streaming it on the web and it has to rebuffer or whatever.

I did a search and found nothing

Applications :: ITunes Store Choppy Scrolling?

Jan 22, 2009

I was wondering if anyone else has or is having this problem. Whenever I scroll through the itunes store, it becomes very choppy. I have the new macbook (don't think that matters at all) and it occurs when I scroll manually or use the two-finger scroll. I noticed this like a week ago but thought it would just go away but it's getting really annoying.
