  • Check your audio settings, particularly the latency/buffer size
  • Connect to a power supply
  • Limit what other apps are open (preferably none)
  • Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off

    Thanks to Kibbles & Bytes reader Perry, who let me know that there’s another way to grab your iTunes account password:

    He writes:

    “Go to Applications/Utilities and open Keychain; then type in iTunes in the search field and you will see if there is an iTunes account there (or not, if you don’t have one). Click on it and you see the username. You then can click on Show Password and type in your Admin/User password and you will see the Password as well.”

    I’ve gotten some other interesting questions regarding this that I’m doing a little research on, so I’ll update you in a later issue!

    Thanks for reading!
