Video labeling issue sorta fixed in iTunes 7

OK, I had the problem in iTunes 6 where when you changed the video type from "movie" to "TV Show" it would work in iTunes but not show up on my 5G iPod.
With the new version of iTunes it works...most of the time. However, some video files still won't show up on the iPod unless they're labeled as a movie. I know it's not really that big a deal, but if anyone figures out what the secret is, please let me know

I'm an idiot. I noticed there's a setting to not download videos that have been watched - so I set it to download all and all the videos show up now.
Duhhhh....

  • Video Playback issues with Ipod and Itunes

    OK I just bought some episodes of a TV show last night, and I put them on my ipod(5th gen. 30GB). About halfway-sometimes 2/3-of the way through, the video stops playing, no audio, no movement, just stops like it is paused. I deleted them off my ipod, made sure my ipod was up to date, and put them back on. Problems still there. Then i went to watch them in Itunes, and in the same places they freeze again. Itunes is up to date too.So now i have these videos that i paid for, that don't work completely on either my Ipod nor on Itunes. Help Please?

    the good news is that you have pretty much isolated the issue. if the videos don't play completely on either the ipod or itunes, then the videos or tv shows are possibly corrupted. what you can do is contact the itunes store via a web form ( click here to go to form and scroll to the bottom)
    tell the itunes store your tv shows have playback issues and say the same thing you posted. the itunes store should allow you to re-download the tv shows.

  • WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Fix for iTunes Space Calculation Issue in Windows 7?

    I moved my iTunes library from a Windows XP, to Windows 7 PC.  It is a little smaller in the Windows 7 environment because I deleted all of my Podcasts, some Video, and Picture files.  Even with the deletions the space calcuation in Windows 7 is incorrect, and my iPhone4 fails to sync.  I can move back to the XP environment and sync without any issues.
    When is this issue getting fixed?

    Well *** Apple.  Still no fix in iTunes 10.6.1.7.  UNACCEPTABLE.
    You know there is an issue but sit and ignore it.
    Great customer service and support.

  • Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

    I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
    However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
    So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
    MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
    Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

    Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
    Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

  • Video playback ISSUES in iTunes

    Hi, All.
    I've recently purchased a music video and a movie from iTunes to play strictly in iTunes--I don't have a video iPod.
    I had assumed that these videos would playback smoothly with the iTunes software, but I was OH-so-wrong.
    At first, the all I could see of the video was a halting, pastel-shaded blob. I consulted the Knowledge base, and did everything listed here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706
    Now, I can see my videos, but they are halting and out of sync with the words. I've upgraded my video drivers, display settings, and just about everything else I can think of, but I still do not have seamless video playback.
    Any ideas? Suggestions? Remember, I have done everything listed in the above link.
    Thanks for your time and help!

    Hey Feenix,
    So, what version of iTunes is running on the computer? 7.0.2.16? Also what version of Direct X is installed on the computer?(goto Start> Run> dxdiag)
    This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 will help troubleshoot audio issues. The article will have you edit "Sounds and Audio Devices" through Control Panel; make sure Sound Playback Default Device is set correctly(under Audio tab.)

  • Why Wont Apple Fix AUDIO / VIDEO Sync Issues

    This has been a problem for awhile. Thank god there is a application fix but im receiving an iTouch very soon and I'm not sure if the same problem is going to be on that to..
    It might be how Quicktime reads .MP4 and .M4V Files but i can play the videos on VLC and Zune Software fine..
    I see other people posting this exact same problems. I see no answers... Apple Knows this is an issue. Why wont they fix it.
    From what im hearing it is the audio that is going out of sync from the video.
    Now my Final Question is
    "Is this just a Software issue for the computers or is it also a Software issue (Assuming that quicktime is the software on these devices) for the iTouch / iPhone ?

    well i got my itouch today and it seems that the audio and video sync issues are only on the computer distributions of quicktime and not the hand held device versions

  • I am having issues with my iTunes on my new MacBook Pro Retina. I called about a month-ago to fix my iTunes on my computer, and now when I buy new movies or music it will not let me play it on my computer nor will it download it onto my computer.

    As noted a month ago I called apple to fix my iTunes account. Now when I buy songs or music I cant watch, listen, or even download them onto my computer. It keeps giving me this pop-up when I try.
    "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID."
    "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 52 days."
    I know this computer is  associated with an Apple ID, because it's mine, so why can't I watch, listen or download them onto my computer?
    They had me reset alot of crap when I called them, so if anyone knows how to possibly fix this before I call Apple and freak out, please tell me!
    Thank you,

    Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Spinning Beachball FIXED in iTunes 7.7.1

    Congratulations Apple, iPod Touch spinning beachball issue when connecting to iTunes 7.7.1 has now been fixed, no more waiting 2-3mins for iTunes to recognise the Touch.

    I had a problem with my iPod Video 60GB being updated when I updated to iTunes 7 and it got worse (had to wait a very long time for it to update my iPod if it ever did) when I updated to iTunes 7.0.1.8. Then I was advised that iTunes shouldn't have installed with the 'old iPod updaters' still installed, but it did. So I uninstalled the 'old iPod updaters' via 'Add and Remove Programs' in control panel. When I rebooted iTunes said the iPod software was missing and instructed me to re-install iTunes. After the re-install everything runs great. Presently, I only have iTunes 7.0.1.8, Apple Software Update on my computer and version 1.2 on my iPod.

  • Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

    This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
    This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
    First off my machine:
    Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
    2 Gig RAM
    Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
    Observed problem:
    Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
    This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
    As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
    The Fix:
    Close iTunes 7
    Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
    Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
    Start
    Run
    Type: dxdiag
    Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
    Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
    Exit
    Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
    Open game, or other program
    Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
    This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
    Good luck!
    (resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.

    i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
    my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
    i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
    well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them

    Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • My fix for iTunes.exe 10.6.1.7 hang/freeze on Win7 64

    Hi all, just wanted to let you know that by renaming the iTunes folder in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer" fixed my iTunes. It was just freezing when I tried to open it and would not respond. Apparently there are some cache and pref files in here it could not read after the latest update.
    That exact folder was:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    One of my exact error messages was:
    The program iTunes.exe version 10.6.1.7 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
    Process ID: e10
    Start Time: 01cd34807032e826
    Termination Time: 0
    Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe

    Thx Hackintosh. All software was up to date as of this morning, but I think the issue stemmed from the IP switching in my building. I finanlly stripped the express/utility completely off the box and reinstalled from scratch after doing a factory reset of the airport unit itself... and finally, eureka. Of course, doing this required resetting my apple machines to the updated airport address. I will say that if anyone wants to run both apple and PC machines on the same airport, set up the PC first and then link the apple machine(s) second. Way easier than the other way around.
