How the heck do I make iTunes stop skipping? January 3, 2007

I have been asking this question for a long time. What happens is when I play a song on iTunes, all is well until I open up another program (like IE or even an explorer window). Then it starts crackling until it sounds like Popeye when he has had too much to drink (git-git-git-git-git….). I know that this is not my computer's fault (I have 1 Gig of RAM; don't you think that should be enough to edit a word document and listen to music at the same time?).
I searched some forums web-sites and I finally found what I wanted. The steps start with getting into the Quicktime preferences. These can be found under Control Panel, or inside Quicktime itself.
- Go to the audio tab
- Select the check-box that says Safe Mode (waveOu only).
- Immediately, my iTunes was working. If it doesn't work immediately, try restarting iTunes.
- Enjoy

that does not workkkkk
Ya just tried that on an old post and it doesn’t work. I don’t get it. I kind of works fine on my home computer, but I use it on my notebook and it doesn’t work at all. I love itunes for buying music.. but I was hoping to use it to Dj tonight.. looks like im burning the music and then using winamp.
worked for me
cheers
worked for me – great tip – thank you!!
This is an absolutely perfect solution for me— when it lasts. My problem is that the box gets checked back without any intervention on my part. How do I get it to STAY unchecked and not go back to its default?
