Trouble viewing videos within iTunes 7.6.1

I click on a movie in iTunes and I hear sound but don't see any video. I then click on an audio recording, stop it, and click a second time on the video file. This time the video appears. Anyone else notice this problem?

If you upgraded Quicktime, and still get the same problem, try this:

I was having the same problem and reinstallind both iTunes and Quiktime wasn't helping.

Trouble Viewing Videos with iTunes 7

I just downloaded iTunes 7 and it seemed successful. Only none of my videos play. The only reason I upgraded was because the Music store wouldn't allow me to purchase episodes of "The Office" unless I did so. Now my money is spent and my shows are unviewable.

Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop. Here are my versions:
Windows 7
IOS 6.1.3
iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
Quicktime 7.7.4
The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder. The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders. The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working. Checking for a solution". Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks. Eventually, the video completely stops. Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom. This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Trouble playing video in iTunes

I'm having trouble viewing videos in the artwork viewer. They will only open in the center of the screen. I have tried changing the settings under "Edit"--"Preferences"--"Playback," but nothing seems to work.
Please help!

QuickTime cannot play MPEG-2 files with AC3 audio
(it's mentioned in the FAQ
). I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip (freeware) to convert the
track, both video and audio, to a format that
QuickTime can import and then export, but I'm not
certain, not having used it to convert any AC3.
Probably someone else here can tell you for sure, or
suggest an alternative.
What format do you or any one else suggest converting to first that would not lose any quality from the video?

hiya!
I realize a lot of users are getting the message "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" but this is only happening when I try to preview a video. itunes and quicktime seem to work fine in all other aspects.
lordy. that's a kinky time to be getting that error message.
just doublechecking something. do you have any video files in your library at the moment? if so, could you check to see if you get this when you play a video?
if you don't have any files in the library, and you've got itunes 6.0.2.23 or higher, let's try seeing if the sample file linked to in this document will convert and play properly:

I cannot view videos purchased itunes crashes and powers everything down - only happens with itunes - no other videos played or viewed by other sites and methods

I have tried everything I can think of to fix problems I'm having with using/viewing purchased movies and TV episodes and viewing them in itunes.
They start to play for only a few minutes - usually choppy and distorted video and sound sync and then the laptop powers down entirely and goes into a loop of inability to start back up normally or through safe mode, etc.
I have absolutely no other problems watching and viewing videos from other websites orr methods for hours and hours on end. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and still have the same issues.
I'm wondering if there's a Windows setting or preference that is incorrectly causing this problem or if there's an error within itunes itself.
Any help to correct would be appreciated since I've spent a ton of money purchasing videos I cannot view.

Try this:
Plug in your iPod,
1. Right click My Computer >> Manage and select Device Manager in the left tab.
2. Click Portable Devices >> right click Apple iPod >> Uninstall
3. Unplug and plug your iPod, now wait for windows to re recognize your ipod [ In Device Manager, you will see the new recognized Apple Ipod ]
4. Press F5 to refresh your windows explorer and see if your Apple iPod will show up with a camera icon.
Otherwise, refer to these articles:

Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

Problem viewing video in Itunes

Since installing Snow Leopard I cannot view video on full screen in Itunes. When I chose the full screen option the Itunes window disappears but the video display is very small in the center of my screen,

As for playing windowed in a playlist:
I'm not sure, but that might just be what happens.
Just to check with both of you having this problem:
Are the videos HD? Do you have Closed Captioning turned on?
What is the resolution of the problem videos (or does it vary)?
Is this a problem with any other user accounts on the computer, or just yours?
Any other settings I should know about?
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm having trouble viewing video's on my macbook.

Greetings all.
I have a macbook and for some reason, I've been having trouble viewing online video's. And it happens with all sites, youtube, dog world, ect.
The video stops and has that circle in the center, then plays a little more, then stops again. I have version 10.6.8. I don't believe it is my internet connection, i can watch video's on my ipad.
Thanks,
Brad Doyle

Try playing at a lower resolution if that option is available (for example, in youtube the controls are in the lower right of the video window). Some sites, particularly youtube, seem to have problems playing some (not all) videos at 720p and 1080p.

Can't view videos in iTunes now

My computer, previously running on Vista, recently crashed. I backed up my data and loaded Windows 7 instead. Things are running great now, and I have downloaded iTunes 9.2. I have all my music and videos back, but I cannot watch any of the videos on iTunes. I tried renting a video from iTunes, but cannot watch that either. Every time I try, iTunes freezes. I can watch videos with Windows Media Player on my computer, and I can watch my iTunes videos on my nano. So it seems my computer and the files are both ok.
Why can't I watch videos on iTunes? I tried redownloading iTunes and updating my video drivers. Any other ideas?

I'm having a problem with videos too. The other day I tried out the iTunes Rental service, and when I went to play my movie, iTunes froze. I updated to the latest versions of iTunes/Quicktime and the problem persisted. And now I notice that ALL of my videos cause iTunes to freeze. I can't say for certain if there was a problem with all videos before I downloaded the movie, but I certainly didn't notice one before. Videos still play fine in standalone Quicktime and I checked the DirectX settings already.
Any help appreciated.

Trouble importing video to iTunes and watching on ATV2

I have a ton of home video that I want to send from my mac to my new apple tv. I can't for the life of me get this video into itunes...and even when I can get itunes to import some of the clips, they don't show up in my library on the apple tv. I figure this must be a video format issue. I've transcoded all the clips to .mov files and my apple tv still doesn't show them in my library. very puzzling. anyone run into this problem?
PS the original files are M2TS files from my Canon video camera.

So .mov files won't work in itunes?
Not at all. MOV files are file containers that contain any compression format that is supported by your current QT component configuration. This can include DivX, Xvid, multiplexed or elementary MPEG1/2 streams, Flash, Windows media, etc. (I.e., any compressed audio and video data saved using the "Save As..." QT 7 Pro option is automatically placed in an MOV file container. Therefore, placing compressed data in an MOV file container does not, in and of itself, make the data playback compatible with mobile device media players which do not share your main system QT components.
I want my files to stay HD so I've been transcoding using h264.
So what is preventing you? Applications like QT 7 Pro, iMovie, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, Turbo.264HD, etc. all have device specific conversion presets to turn your files into iTunes managed/mobile device compatible files. As a general rule of thumb, if you files can be played on your Mac, one or more of the mentioned applications can convert it for you.
So much for apple stuff being "easy".
Try visiting the QT forum to learn more about QT and third-party conversion techniques or join your local Apple User Group Video SIG for general or "one-on-one" assistance.

New iMac owner - trouble viewing videos

Hi - I am a brand new iMac owner. Running OS 10.8.5 Mountain Lion I believe. What exact plug ins do I need to view videos? Nothing works through safari onn youtube or any other hosted video site that I've tried. Thanks

Well, as a matter of fact there is no need to have Adobe Flash Player installed to watch videos on YouTube.
Of course you can install it, but you can live without it and be able to watch YouTube videos altogether.
Open Safari, go to Safari's preferences, Advanced. Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
Now you have a new tag in the menu bar named Develop. From there you can select a new User Agent, for example "Safari iOS 6.1 - iPad". This, let YouTube's server believe that you are running Safari on an iPad and streaming the video on your Mac.

Can Not View Videos on iTunes!!

Whenever I click preview video on the iTunes store,
the preview box doesn't show the video.
Instead it shows purple, brown & green fuzz.
It's the same when trying to watch a video I have purchased.
I don't know how to fix this?
Any ideas?
Thanks (:

Videodora has some sound issues, I would look for another conversion program. Here try this one it is free and I really like it and have had not sound or video problems. You can get it here http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
Hope this helps
