No sound when watching full-screen movies or TV shows in iTunes after update to 11.1

After updating to iTunes 11.1, any full-screen movies or TV shows I try to play on my Thunderbolt display with my MacBook Pro have no audio. If I plug in speakers or headphones, I get audio, just not from the Thunderbolt display. Audio works fine from MBP.
Weird thing is, if I plug in other speakers or headphones and then *unplug* them, the Thunderbolt display's speakers start working again. Every time you start a new show or movie, though, you have to do this again after the full-screen video opens on the display.
Really weird. I obviously suspect i has something to do with the 11.1 update to iTunes 'cause audio works just fine through the display for iTunes music and other content and for the web and all other apps and games, whether they're in full-screen mode or not.
Keep checking Software Update hoping to see that "1" badge pop up on the App Store, lol.
Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks allen222! I've been banging my head against this issue as well - glad to hear it's fixed in Mavericks - was planning to upgrade shortly.

  • My cursor does not disappear when watching full screen movies

    I have a rMBP running Mountain Lion, everything is up to date. Like I said when watching full screen videos my cursor arrow does not dissapear. I am new to OSX so is this normal or do I have my settings set up wrong. Its not a huge deal, just getting more annoyed with each video, thanks for your help.

    I have the same problem, but in addition, if the cursor doesn't disappear completely the video control menus stay glued to the bottom of the full screen.  I may have to switch back to my pc to watch.....

    Sync it to your computer:

    You'll need to do that to burn it to a DVD, and a sync via iTunes is probably the most direct method.

  • Screen goes to sleep when watching full screen video in browser

    Hey,
    On my MacBook Pro, with Mavericks, I often watch MLB.tv, WWE Network or even Youtube videos on full screen. Since upgrading to Mavericks, my screen goes to sleep after the normal amount of time based on my power settings in the system preferences. In previous versions of OS X, if i had a video on full screen, whether it was with Quicktime, VLC, Safari, Chrome, etc. the screen would never go to sleep.
    Is there a way to prevent this from happening other than just changing how long it takes for the screen to time out?
    Thanks.

    I think you may want to point this out to Apple… it sounds like an oversight.

    Can you set a 'hot corner' to disable the screensaver activation? It's less than ideal but it could save your sanity - just slide the cursor into the corner.
    Hot corners should be available in the Desktop & Screensaver section of system preferences. I'm on another OS at present and may be mis-remebering an eariler OS feature.

  • System crashes when trying to access movies and tv shows on iTunes store

    I've just re-installed iTunes on a Gateway 500SE PC running on Windows XP SP 2 (recently had a new hard drive put in after original crashed). Whenever I try to open up any sections in the iTunes store (movies, TV shows, etc.) other than music section my computer freezes; then the monitor goes black for a few seconds and comes back with the image sizes increased, pixelated, and colored strangely. I then get the message that "The nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally." and am told to reboot the machine. At the advice of a Gateway tech, I reinstalled the video driver for the graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX200 but am still having the same problem. Any advice or suggestions?
    thank you!

  • When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

    When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

    For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post

  • I have a new Macbook Pro.  When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues.  When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

    I have a brand new Macbook model A1502.  I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos.  I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted.  I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems.  Can anyone help me please?  This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use.  Thanks in advance

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

  • Using Apple TV/Airplay for a full screen movie and opening new window on laptop

    When I have a full screen movie playing on my TV in AirPlay dual screen mode, and I open a new Safari window or my Mail, the window appears seemingly by default on top of the movie rather than coming up on my laptop monitor.  Is there a spot I can reset the default for new Safari windows and Mail windows to my laptop monitor, so they don't interrupt the movie on my TV?
    Background: my girls love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife which I find terribly boring, and need to find something to do while the movies are playing rather than fall asleep! And you know what happens if Safari shows up over top of their beloved Downton! 

    it being mirror and many tv's being widescreen 16:9 and the screen of ios device not being widescreen this happen
    most tv's support having top and button chopped or streghed to fill the tv this is something one does with the tv's remote

    Hi all,
    I've got some question that i haven't found an answer to on goole, finnaly i've decided to try to search at source - at Creative site. I've read many post on this forum but it seems there isn't answer for my problem.

    After i have connected everything (sat (OPT OUT) to sb (OTP IN) and sb to speakers) it works great as stereo but when i turn on AC3 (when watching channel which supports it) on my satelite reci'ver i can't hear any sound
    In " Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info" topic i've founded chatper about decoding AC3 with Sound Blaster. "2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster." It is a little different explamle then my, so please can anybody tell me, how to do it ? How to set SB settings ? Should i download some additional software that will must be runing when watching TV (I dont know maybe there is something like "acti've decoder of AC3"). Maybe it it not possible at all

    Best regards Arek.
    P.S. 5. sound works, when watching DVD or avi movies with AC3 filter

  • What's with the "Full Screen" movie rentals?

    I"m as ****** as the next guy about the "No HD rentals" issue, but even more ****** off that most of the rentals I'm clicking on aren't just not available is HD, but aren't even available in "Widescreen". All Macs have a "widescreen" display now, and even your iPods, iPod Touch, and iPhone's are widescreen. No one wants to download a rental of a "Full Screen" movie anymore. My God, "300" in Full Screen - What are they thinking? If they want to offer "Full Screen" rentals, it should be an option, like when you go to the video store to buy a DVD, and are offered a "Full Screen" version or a "Widescreen" version. I don't think they even sell Full Screen TVs anymore. I have the same problem with PPV from the cable company... If it is not offered in Widescreen, I don't rent it. The same will be true here. I just never imagined Full Screen would ever even be offered, much less the only option.

    The iTunes store has pretty much everything in widescreen that it can, but as with most televisions and "home theater" setups... Widescreen really doesn't matter. I know that some people prefer widescreen, but I don't. I have a projector not a TV so I have a 20 foot screen and the black lines in most "widescreen" movies eats up 4-5 feet of space. The only movies that come formatted for a widescreen TV in the first place(I am talking about on DVDs) are the Anamorphic Widescreen DVDs. They have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but very few DVDs actually have this, most are in 1.85:1 aspect ratio or 16:9 which is actually a fullscreen movie with black lines at the top and bottom.
    As for HD rentals in the iTunes store, this is AppleTV only, and that is not Apple's fault, this is due to DRM. In order for you to play a copy-protected Blu-ray or HD DVD you have to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP compliant hardware, the apple TV is HDCP, but you computer is not, so therefore Warner Bros/FOX/Sony etc. Can not be guaranteed that you won't be able to pirate their content.
    Most people do not have a widescreen TV, and yes most Computer screen LCDs are capable of just about any resolution, but a lot of people are still in the non-HD zone.
    I agree that many people want HD content, however given how hollywood lost the battle to keep DVDs copy-protected, they have taken enormous steps to protect HD content.....

  • Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

    27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

    I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?

  • My MacBook is brand new, shy of a month and I don't understand why it was recently started to lag whilst watching full screen videos on youtube? Somebody help me please...

    Somebody help.. I don't get what's going on. This didn't happen in the beginning, it was completely fine with watching full screen videos, but now it seems to "glitch" now and then and appear slow and laggy. whattttt

    If the computer seems normal except for watching youtube the problem is probably between you and your ISP or between the ISP and youtube. If your computer seems slow no matter what you are doing try restarting your computer and see if that helps. (If so pay attention to your Page Outs in the Activity Monitor and also how much free space your hard drive has.)

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.
