10.1 Update - Lost ability to view music videos on Mac

Since upgrading to 10.1 I have lost the ability to view videos i iTunes on my Mac - the Now Playing window just shows a static image. If I change the preferences to view the videos in another window or full screen, iTunes still just shows a static mage in the Now Playing window.
I know the videos are still there - I can download new ones to itunes, sync and then play them in my iPhone and iPad - and the video icon still appears next to those songs in iTunes, but will not play in iTunes.
My podcasts and movies are still playing fine in ITunes - it's just the music videos that appear in my Music Library which no longer work.

even though I think my Senior Analyst is trying his best I did a work around that works well... I bought a little program that converts them to .mov files which play just fine in iTunes... Still converting though.. As I said I have have a bunch. The poster above is incorrect in saying or hinting that the ones that dont play must of come from a source such as limewire etc... all of mine came straight from iTunes and I have tried 3 different configurations with Apple to get them to work. I am not complaining as I could never imagine anyone calling from Dell as this guy has from Texas on some days at least 3-4 times.. I figure I will get other uses besides just this with this program but for now it solves this issue until a fix is made... here is a link

Unable to view music videos in iTunes on mac

I have iTunes on a G5 Mac Pro It is on the latest version of 10.5 with the most recent update to iTunes. I am unable to view music videos many of which I purchased from the iTMS or came with music CD's as extras some are m4v others are mp4.
If on import I set the option for format as being Music Video I cannot get the videa to launch double clicking on the video gives a picture in the album cover window but does not launch the video viewer nor does the video play. I dont often view music videos just Movies or TV Shows and last time I did I recall Music Videos playing they opened in a seperate window and there was once a setting in preferences where you could choose if a video launched in a new window or used on in iTunes.
I have used the info window to change the video type to standard movie and then going back to the file in iTunes double clicking launches the video in full screen mode. Once I then set back to Music Video it reverts to refusing to play.
In any format the file plays in Quicktime
Any suggestions pointing to where the problem may lie would be welcome. I cant see any relevant settings to set how a video displays in either menus or Preferences other than ensuring video window stays on top. It maybe in one of the many upgrades this Mac and iTunes has had the settings have been corrupted.

They will not show up in a separete category in iTunes. This is because the videos will show up as songs so that you can play the audio portion of a video without the video. Try it.

How can I view music video on my Music app on my iPad? I can view on my iPhone!! It does not show video just plays the song,

How can I view music video that I purchased on my Music App on my iPad?? I can view video in question on my iPhone!! On my iPad it simply plays the song when selected.

Finally got my search terms correct and found this answer to my own question.

Can't view music videos since upgrade

Since upgrading iTunes to 10.2.1 I can no longer view music videos. I hear the music, but the window only displays the same image that's showing in Now Playing.
I have made no other changes except the upgrade?

Thanks, I think that did the trick. At least now I can see Little Feat play "Let It Roll'

Since I updated to iTunes 11 my music videos in my library no longer play through my wireless soundlink

Since I updated to iTunes 11 my music videos in my library on my computer no longer play through my wireless soundlink. My regular music works but as soon as it hits a music video the sound drops.

Yes I installed the newest version of Quicktime. Still doesn't work even stumped the iTunes tech he says theres some compatibility problem between either the Bose Soundlink or iTunes just weird that my Bose works perfectly fine with my iTouch but keeps dropping the music videos if I'm playing them through my computer...

Lost ability to view the status of PDF conversion

Greetings,
I've been using CS5 for about a week after upgrading from CS4 on Windows 7. Everything was running fine until yesterday afternoon, when I suddenly lost the ability to view the status of the conversion of InDesign files to PDFs.
Normally, when converting an InDesign file to a PDF using one of InDesign's PDF presets (Smallest File Size, High Quality Print, etc.) you see a status bar showing the status of the conversion within InDesign. Now when I convert an InDesign file to PDF, the PDF instantly appears in the save location without any status bars showing up in InDesign. The PDF is unopenable and the InDesign file is uncloseable until the conversion completes. In the end, there is no issue converting my files to PDF; however, it's a little annoying to convert a file and have to take a guess at when I can open it (some of my files can take quite some time to convert).
At first, I thought it was a problem with my PC or installation. My supervisor has another license installed on his laptop, so we gave it a try on his. Same problem. I just think it's odd that the issue would appear out of nowhere on both installations.
Any ideas of what might be going on?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The Background Tasks pane does show what's going on (to a certain extent), but what I'm taking about should be showing by default. I jumped on our old Macbook and created a test file and converted it to PDF in our Mac version of CS4. See the status bar that shows in the image below. This is what I'm taking about. It's a window titled "Generating PDF." It's been in every version of InDesign I've had since the first CS.
Shouldn't this be displaying?

Viewing music videos

Why did you take away the full screen view of videos through the music app on my iPhone? My videos are now only an inch in size and because of the new ios you cannot even watch them in landscape mode. Why is there NOT a shuffle function or continuous play in the Music VIDEO app?? You can only watch one video at a time rather than let them play through. You have ruined my whole music video experience, why am I buying them to watch them in 1" scale or one at a time?

ANSWER.
Apple changed the functionality in the music app and added the ability to view your music videos in the videos app. This works for both the iPad and iPhone and you can view in full screen. Also an additional note, if you try to airplay a music video from your music app it doesn't work. It does however work from the video app.
Hope this helps. :)

HT6147 can't find music on iphone 5 after latest download...lost entire folder with music, videos & pictures

Restore it from your last backup.

Viewing music videos on iPhone?

I downloaded Beyonces new album, but can only hear the music and cannot view the videos. What am I doing wrong?

1. Are you positive you downloaded the music video completely?
2. Try opening it by going to Videos (not iPod) and seeing if it is there.
If not, I would recommend deleting the album and putting it back on your iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Derek

I have installed Quick Time twice and it still won't run so I can view music videos.

Help me someone.

Help Transfering Music Videos from Mac To PC

Hi everyone! We have a Mac and a PC at home, both with iTunes. I'm trying to transfer music videos from my Mac to the PC. Both computers are authorized. I'm copying the music videos to an external hard drive from the Mac. After connecting the drive to the PC I double click the music video and it loads into iTunes, however, when I try to play it I hear the music but the video image is totally distorted. This does not happen with music videos purchased after the iTunes 7 upgrade. Those transfer well. It only happens to the older iTunes music videos. Is this normal? Should this be happening? If so, is there a way of converting the older videos so they play in iTunes 7 for PC?

Lost ability to view Effects in Action Panel

Adobe illustrator CS5 on Mac OS X 10.7.4.
I used to be able to do something like effect->3d-> revolve, then go to the actions panel and bring up the 3D revolve, click on it and edit it again. Now, when I open the actions panel the simple 3d revolve is replace with a long long list of actions of course I can't bring up the 3d revolve effect and edit it.
I have removed all of the Illustrator prefs in my library file; but, it still does it.
How can I get this behavior back?

Try the Appearance panel. Select the object with the 3D effect and it should show up there.

Lost ability to view edited images alongside original in library

Hi
Not sure what I have done but I am using lightroom 1.4. Previously, any pictures I edited would show as an edited file in the library now all that happens is the original image shows as the edited image. Does that make sense?

You mean LR 4.1, not 1.4?
Maybe your edits are now stacked with their originals?
In Library module, use menu Photo - Stacking - Expand all stacks.
Sometimes I dod not find my edits right along the originals, because I had set the sort order to "edit time" rather than "capture time", so I found them as last thumbnails. This explanation could only apply to you if you had put the sequence from z-to-a as well, because otherwise you would only see the originals, not the editied ones.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro (RTM -> TechNet). Everything seemed OK the first day of use. Now onto the next day, I can't "Sign In" to any of the Xbox Apps and the Bing Weather app doesn't update its Live Tile with local weather. Other tiles/apps like Finance

I am able to sign-in to the SkyDrive App without issue, and the Store App works fine as well. I have tried uninstalling Games, Music, and Video apps and reinstalling to correct the issue, no dice.
My Microsoft Account still signs into this site, my regular Xbox, iPad Xbox App, and Windows Phone just fine. What is up with Windows 8? Thanks in advance.

It appears to end up having been a time sync issue. I must have only been off a couple of seconds?!? I decided to try Armed! and it reported a difference in Time when creating my profile for the game and I was like.. hmmm. So I went ahead and hit Internet
Time settings (under Date and Time in Control Panel) and did a Update Now with time.windows.com. I am now able to login on all the apps I was having issues with before where it was stuck at "Signing In".

Constantly requests a newer version, yet no update is found for apps/music/videos/etc??
