itunes is crapping out on me...help

[CorvusCamenarum]

Pursuant to this problem I inquired after a few days ago, the problem seems to have spread. Now it's affecting my iTunes. I can't play a song for more than 5 or 10 seconds before it starts skipping, halting, or whatever you want to call it. Help. SOS. Mayday. I'm ready to scream.

Im having the same problem. I have an ibook g4, maybe 2 months old at most. It skips at about 6 seconds, then it plays the rest of the song. But for ever song it plays..it skips in the beginning.

Open up Activity Monitor and see if there's a process that's using up a lot of resources (CPU and/or RAM).

Tried checking Activity Monitor, nothing was even running except for I-Tunes. And it is still skipping.

Is that under All Processes or just the Default My Processes (check the list at the top)?

have you got the latest updates?

if no, install the latest updates.

take a cd, place it in your mac. play a certain song. see if iTunes plays the song perfectly.

rip this certain song to iTunes. play the song again. does it skip now?
