ITunes store music video preview problem?

How do you get itunes to fully buffer music video previews from the store before playing them? They are very choppy and video is out of sync with the music even with a DSL connection.
In the past you could set a preference to do this.

iTunes 9.2 (61) and I'm getting a failure rate of 100%!
Strictly audio, and I also find it annoying that the pop-up appears at the bottom of my iTunes window off-center nearer the right side. When the video finishes buffering +(3 Mbit connection, too)+, the pop-up window moves to the center.
Pressing stop/closing the window, before it begins playing can wreak havoc. Sometimes the "stop" dialog will keep popping up after I press stop, or the pop-up window will move to a different position, or it's white background will render outside of the window, or I'll get multiple segmented overlapping pop-up windows...

  • ITunes Match music videos are ineligible, how can I get them back onto my iPod?

    Hi,
    I subscribed to iTunes Match earlier today, turned it on and did the same on my ipod touch but have now discovered all my music videos are ineligible and can't be tansfered via iCloud. It wont allow me to sync my iPod via USB cable. Is there anyway I can get my videos back onto my iPod? Thanks

    I'm looking into this as well. Most of my videos were purchased from apple and showed up originally. But, I had a lot of problems with the tags in my regular music and had to more or less purge my iCloud library. Afterwards, I had the same problem as you. iTunes would no longer match the iTunes purchased music videos.
    Anyhow, there is a quick way to get them transfered to your iPod.
    Right click on the videos and use "Get Info" to change them to a "TV Show."
    You can also set the "Show" to something like "Music Videos."
    I also set all then music videos grouping to "Music Video."
    Created a smart playlist that just listed all things grouped as such.
    Make sure Sync TV Shows is checked.
    I may have left a step or two out. But, you should be able to handle the rest from there.
    This is what I'm doing at least until I find a better solution.

  • ITunes Store music tab not showing up

    iTunes Store music tab not showing up

    FollowUp - Problem Solved.
    Just in case anyone else was experiencing the same issues, I pinpointed it down to a corrupted iTunes preference file - com.apple.iTunes.plist.
    I created a new user account, lauched iTunes and it worked fine, no black drop down window appearing, so I went back into my account and deleted this and relaunched iTunes and the drop down window showed all the search results again, not the black window as seen in my example image.
    Hope this helps others!

  • Very Confused about iTunes-purchsed Music Videos in iTunes and on iPod

    I've searched and searched but can't seem to find previous discussions that address my questions about iTunes-purchased music videos.
    I would call myself an experienced iTunes and iPod user. I have no problems working with music, movies, TV shows...
    Here are my music video comments and questions:
    Why don't I have a Music Video playlist on iTunes but there is one on my iPod.
    How can I create a music video playlist?
    Why does my iPod Classic show multiple copies of the same music video in the music video playlist and in the general music list?
    That seems like a good start. Any and all comments, suggestions, etc...GREATLY appreciated.

    *How can I create a music video playlist?*
    In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist. Match the rule "Video Kind">"Is">"Music Video"
    Check the box "Live Updating"

  • Why do search results in the iTunes store and the preview music window fail to load properly?

    Since I updated to the second update to iTunes 11, I've had problems with searching in the iTunes store and viewing the previewed music window. It had worked fine in the first iTunes 11 update from iTunes 10 but it has not worked properly since the second update. I've also tried resetting the iTunes store cache but to no avail.

    Essentially run iTunes as Administrater once and it should solve the problem going forward.
    Go to /Program Files/iTunes and right click iTunes.exe and select run as admin
    No need to do it every time, just once and than desktop shortcut icon will open iTunes with solved Store search display problem.

  • ITunes Store music preview stops and freezes all playback

    I hope someone can help, I'm at wits end with this.
    There's a lot of people complaining that they can only preview a few seconds of a song in the iTunes Store.
    Oh yeah? Big deal, just be glad that's your only problem with it, because when this happens to me it locks up my iTunes from playing anything else and I not only have to exit iTunes but then terminate the process from task manager.
    Let me describe it in more detail because it's so weird... and YES, I DO have the latest version (10.7.0.21)
    So I'm in the iTunes store, I'll click the song preview button, I may or may not hear a few seconds of the song but it ALWAYS just halts playback before getting very far. I can move the slider, hit pause or stop or try to preview another song but nothing happens. What's worse, afterwards I'll go to my iTunes music Library and try to play a song and it pops up but doesn't play, like as if it is on permanent pause. It just DOES NOT play anything, therefore making iTunes completely useless other than messing with playlists and song info.
    So now my only choice is to exit iTunes, oh but the problem is far from over. Now iTunes dissapears from my taskbar, but the little icon by the clock is still there. Clicking on it does nothing. I cannot rerun iTunes until I terminate the process in task manager. Okay, I kill it and start fresh just to have it happen all over again. I just dread pressing that **** preview button, I can't live like this.
    This certainly was never a problem in earlier versions of iTunes and there's been no other significant change on my PC in the last two months (which is the last time I remember things working as they should). What gives?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Low audio levels on itunes purchased music video's

    Can anyone tell me how to boost the audio levels on purchased itunes music video's ?
    I have purchased a few videos lately from the itunes music store and occasionally I find the odd one which has very low audio levels. I assume that itunes has not monitored some video/audio files closely enough when importing them into the in tunes system itself and the audio levels have fallen a little low on certain tracks. Have a look at some of the Eurythmics songs - 'Angel', 'Missionary Man', or 'Best of You' by the Foo Fighters for example.I have boosted these tracks by 100% within the in itunes track options, but its still a very low level compared to some of the other tracks I have downloaded.
    I tried to import one of these video files to Mpeg Stream Clip to see if I could use the audio boost function within that program but it didn't like the video file ? I presume because it was an itunes purchased video, therefore a protected file.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what setting I should be using, doing with Mpeg Streamclip to fix this problame if this program can fix this issue ?

    yes i have exactly same problem. Was all working fine till I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.
    TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
    Help please!!!

  • Video Preview problems

    When browsing iTunes store I am unable to preview videos - just get a blank screen.
    Checked on all computers in the house and the same occurs. Tried from work with no problems!
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Tried turning off AV/AS and some firewall rules with no joy

    There is a slightly newer 10.1.1 version of drivers available from Blackmagic:
    http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
    Thanks for posting the screenshot. This shows that After Effects does not see the Mercury Transmit plug-in for Blackmagic. You should verify whether the plug-in is present:
    os drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/
    The file will be named DeckLinkTransmit.bundle, or something similar.
    If the file is present, try uninstalling and reinstalling the (latest version of) Blackmagic drivers.
    If After Effects still does not recognize the Blackmagic Mercury Transmit plug-in, open Premiere Pro CC 2014 and check Preferences > Playback, and whether or not video preview works there.

  • Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

    Hi all!
    I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
    Background:
    For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
    The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
    For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
    The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
    Now the problems start:
    When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
    I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
    When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
    To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
    When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
    So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
    (nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
    Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
    Any ideas will be most welcome!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Peter
    P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

    Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
    What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
    I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
    Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

  • Unable to log into itunes store (0x80092013) and update problems

    I am having problems logging into the itunes store using itunes 10.6.0.40 in Wndows 7 in the uk  which results in the error message shown below:
    'We could not complete your itunes store request.  An unknown error occurred (0x80092013).  There was an error in the itunes store please try again later"
    However, I am able to browse the itunes store without any problems (this does not require logging in).
    In addition selecting the menu item Help > Check for updates in itunes results in the message "The itunes server could not be contacted.  Please check your internet connection or try again later'
    I also have two ipods and an ipad and clicking on the <Check For Update> button on each of them within itunes results in the error message "The ipod update server could not be contacted.  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connectivity is active or try again later". 
    In trying to fix the above problems I have tried the following:
    Re-installed itunes
    Ran ipconfig /flushdns
    Changed my dns entries to use dynamic dns entries and also tried googles settings (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
    Put entries in the hosts file for gs.apple.com etc
    Reset the winsock using the command netsh winsock reset
    Turned Norton smart firewall off completely
    Ensured interent settings were set to 'Check for server certificate revocation' was unticked and "SSL 3.0" and "TLS 1.0." were both ticked
    General internet connectivity is working fine it is just itunes where the problems are.
    I can also log onto the itunes store from the ipad itself without a problem.
    I also have a Windows Vista laptop which can connect to the itunes store without a problem and can also run the menu item Help > Check for updates and results in a message saying itunes is the latest version.  This also runs Norton Smart Firewall and is having no problems.  So I am assuming from this that my setup is not at fault and it is not an isp issue.
    I have also noticed that a number of other people are reporting problems logging into the itunes store and also error 0x80092013.
    The results of an itunes diagnostic test (Help > Run Diagnostics) are shown below (this shows that the itunes store can be browsed but attempts at prurchasing etc cannot be completed)

    I have spoken directly with Apple over the last couple of hours.  They are aware of the problem and are going to ask their engineering department to investigate.  It is perhaps not a big priority at the moment as they say they only have 30 confirmed reports of the issue worldwide.
    Is it possible that there are other people who are having the same problem and are watching the forums waiting for answers?  If so, please report the problem.  This is the only way for Apple to understand the scale of the problem (if indeed it is a big problem) and to be able to escalate the issue and allocate suitable resources.  The issue we are seeing is:
    I mentioned what you said about downgrading - I have also contemplated this but I am expecting I will need to run 10.6 for HD media and syncing with the new iPad.  Apple agree downgrading is not an acceptable solution, and there must be a way forward, but if you dont need 10.6 then why not downgrade until the problems are resolved.
    My take on the problem is this:
    The error code is the same as a Windows error code that suggests the issue is with accessing the certificate revovation lists (CRL).  iTunes 10.6 is a signed application that needs to access a CRL to determine whether its certificate is still active.   iTunes own diagnostic tool points in the same direction too.  The network connectivity test (see image below) shows the network interface and internet connection are fine.  It is just the secure link that is failing.  It is possible to view the apple store, and download podcasts etc.. but it is not possible to sign into an account or make purchases.
    One person has replied to many of these postings suggesting the problem can be fixed by updating DNS settings, which could add weight to this theory.  The person who posted this didnt explain why this worked for them, but if DNS settings have not propogated fully for a new CRL this could be causing problems for some users.  If so this could just fix itself in the coming days, or it may work if you can connect to the internet from a different connection like a public wifi hotspot.
    I will post updates if I get anywhere or hear anything back from Apple.

  • Creating playlists from iTunes Store music items

    When browsing for music in the iTunes Store, I like to make playlists of songs that I'm interested in so I can access them later quickly and easily. In previous versions of iTunes, when creating a playlist by selecting and dragging items from the Store, the default name of that playlist would be either a combination Artist - Album like "Daft Punk - Human After All" or if there are various artists just the album name "Human After All".
    Right now, in iTunes 8 (iTunes 8.0.2.20), dragging items from the Store to the source list results in a web address in the form of "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore..." being the default name.
    I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the newer versions of iTunes as the old behavior resulted in a useful playlist name instead of a string of internet address gibberish, which is useless and not very elegant.
    Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I filed this as a bug at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html , but maybe someone with a ADC membership can file a real bug report that probably gets looked at and maybe fixed.

    Thank you, Katrina, but I really don't care for a "Wish List" playlist.
    You can understand how my way of doing things would be useful to me (and hopefully some other people too).
    By the way, if iTunes did it the right way before, why should it handle playlist names wrongly now?
    In the course of improving their product Apple broke something. So the only sane thing for them to do is fix it or at least show me how to fix it temporarily until it's fixed in a later version.

  • AHHH! Help with iTunes 8 Music Video sorting

    I upgraded to the iTunes 8 today, and when I do the brand new search thingy with music, its all weird for just one artists
    Ill go search by artist in my library, and when i for example click 'rihanna'
    It shows all her music videos i have (which is like 5) under ONE album called "Unknown Album" where all my other artists music videos have seperate albums for each!
    What it's doing that i hate!:
    http://i36.tinypic.com/23hpuv8.jpg
    What i want it too be like:
    http://i36.tinypic.com/2nte6x1.png
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

    I hate this as well. There's no rhyme or reason as to when/why iTunes sometimes looks at the Album entry of the video's tag. For example, I have some videos with no album name listed in the Info-Album field and the video will show:
    Song Name
    Artist Name
    (and will use a "poster frame", as QuickTime calls it, from the video itself)
    But at other times, and the problem we're both frustrated at, when the Album info is blank iTunes will show:
    Unknown Album
    Artist Name
    (and will use a poster frame from one of the many videos you may have by that artist. In your example pic, it looks like iTunes is using the poster frame for the "I Hate That I Love You" video by Rihanna...even though you have 5 different videos by her.)
    The only fix I could find was to either:
    1) enter the actual album name that the video is from (i.e. Good Girl Gone Bad) into the Info-Album field. Then, if you have a song file from the same artist/album (with the associated album artwork for that song) iTunes will use the album art for Cover Flow but will display the poster frame for the selection window in the lower left corner of iTunes.
    2) enter the song's name with a period at the end (i.e. "I Hate That I Love You.") into the Info-album field. You'll see that the "Unknown Album" will disappear and will now show as such:
    Song Name.
    Artist Name
    (will use the poster frame from the video for both Cover Flow and the selection window in the lower left)
    You don't have to enter the song name with a period at the end, that's just the method I used. Realize though, iTunes will list whatever name you use for the album field of the video into the Album list of your iTunes/iPod library. (i.e. - you'd then have an album named I Hate That I Love You. showing under Albums).
    I hope the advice wasn't too confusing. I wish iTunes wouldn't force you to enter an Album name for a video either.

Maybe you are looking for
