A video I purchased through itunes is playing with delayed sound (audio and visual is not in sync) - very fustrating to watch!

Recently purchased a brand new computer (windows 8 - with more than the minimum requirements to run itunes) and transferred my itunes library over. After transferring everything i then purchased a new release video through the itunes store and it downloaded without any problems. When I went to view the movie in itunes, it started fine but within a few seconds the sound and picture were out of sync. I paused the video for a few seconds and then when i resumed play it was back in sync but only took a fw seconds for it to all fall out of sync again - very fustrating!
The movie plays fine on my iphone...
Is there anyway of fixing this?
If not i will never be purchasing another movie through itunes!

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

HT4914 Does iCloud store videos I purchase through iTunes?

Hello, I was just wondering if iCloud automatically stores videos I purchase from the iTunes Store? I appreciate the help.

In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchases. You should not rely on this as your backup, as they can be removed from icloud at any time.

Songs purchased through iTunes on iPhone 4 get download error and will not load. Account has been charged for the purchase.

I purchased an album through iTunes on my iPhone 4, and my PayPal account has been charged for the entire album. However, all but 2 songs would download to my phone. The other 2 have a download error. Any suggestions on how to fix the error, or to get a refund for the songs that I can't get?

How do I restore Notes through iTunes without interfering with Microsoft Exchange Calendar and email

I recently added a Microsoft Exchange account to my iPhone and had to stop syncing my Calendar and Mail Accounts through iTunes because it was creating duplicate entries. When I made those changes, I lost all of my Notes on my iPhone. I backed up my phone after adding the Microsoft Exchange account, but am afraid to restore the backup (to restore the Notes) because I don't want to restore the pre-Exchange Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries. If I select "restore backup", will it restore my Notes without interfering with my Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries? Also, I don't know when the Notes disappeared from my iPhone, so it's possible that I synced through iTunes after I added the Exchange account, which probably means that the Notes I am trying to restore are in a prior backup, not the most recent backup. Can you help?
Thank you.

move your existing me account to be a icloud account via www.icloud.com.
icloud works only with @me.com .

How can I get my songs purchased through iTunes to play on a windows phone

My wife recently got a HTC One M8 (windows) phone and wants to transfer her music purchases over to her new phone. How can the AAC protection be removed so the music will play on something other than an Apple product?

AAC is not protection, it is just an audio file format, like MP3.
Itunes purchases have not been DRM protected for many years.
Convert the songs to an audio file format that the new phone will play, then follow the directions for the phone to put the music on it.

TS1362 All of the movies I have rented or purchased from iTunes in the last 4 months fail to play properly. The audio and video are constantly out of sync. I have followed the iTunes suggestions to correct this, however nothing has worked. (Windows 8)

I am using a Dell inspiron 14z, with Windows 8, and before that a Dell with Windows XP. This is also happening on my iPad. For the last four months, none of the movies or television shows I have rented or purchased from iTunes have played properly. The audio and video are out of sync. I have tried the troubleshooting measures iTunes suggested, however nothing seems to work. I have read on the community that this has been a problem for users in the past, and have attempted to try some of the fixes individual users have suggested also. Again, nothing seems to work. At this point I am frustrated, as we purchase or rent almost exclusively from iTunes. I would appreciate a support-staff person response. Thank you so much.

this problem has been going on for windows users for over a year now.
Apple has no solution to this problem.

HT1600 After playing movie on netflix or purchased through itunes for a while, sound is garbled. people sound like robots. Stops if i retart/restore but,does it again. Software updated,wires all in.

After playing show purchased through itunes or playing netflix for a approximately 1 hour the sound is garbled. The people speaking soung like robots. I restart/restore and it happens again. Software updated and all connections are fine. What is the problem?? I plan on taking it back...

Doesn't sound right - if you've unpowered it to restore, and also restored I'd suspect a hardware issue if this gradually develops, perhaps heat related issues.
If under warranty get it looked at/replaced.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play. How do I resolve this issue?

Hello,
Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone. It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it. The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes.
Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too. In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades". Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
Thank you,
Dago

You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

TV Shows and Music purchased through iTunes doesn't work on my iPhone

When I play some of the music and tv shows purchased through iTunes on my iPhone, it would play for around 30 seconds for music and anywhere from 5-20 min for the shows, and then either go to the next song, or stop playing the video for no reason.
It seems to be a specific spot which "crashes" the song, because say the song or video stops at 2:31, I can seek to "2:33", and the song/video would play normally, and not crash.
What's the reason for this?

Contact Apple and report a problem via your *purchase history*. Either from the iTunes store, or the email receipt they send.
Also you might have more luck in the iPhone forums:

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

Does family sharing allow content not purchased through itunes?

Most of my music has been ripped from my CDs, not purchased through itunes. The family sharing feature in ios8 sounds tempting since I currently have 4 of us working from a single account which causes some issues at times. Will I still be able to share the ripped CDs and other content not purchased from itunes with other family members if we split up and then turn on family sharing?
Thus far, the 5S that just arrived today is the only device with ios8 on it. The other iphones and ipads in the house will need to be updated when it seems safe to do so. We are also running itunes on two macbook pros and a few PCs.

Yes, home sharing works with both purchased and ripped music, as well as videos. It does not allow you to move content from one computer to another; it allows you to stream content from one computer to another computer or device on the local network (or connected via a VPN).
If you want to access music outside of your network and copying it is a problem, then you might consider Match.
