Another iTunes 11.1 fail: video podcast downloads 'can t' play videopodcasts. Why?

iPod Touch Ios 6.1.3 build 10B329
ughhhh.
Some QC upgrades are needed at Apple.

SOLVED!
As suspected, my problem of not being able to play or import CD from iTunes 8.1 was internal to iTunes (with a little help from me). iTunes does not recognize the drive letters of A: or B: I wanted the drive letter configuration of my computer to be C:SYSTEM and D:DATA, so I changed the optical drive to A: just like the old floppy drives used to be. (Going old school.) Since iTunes will not accept that, I changed the drive letter of the optical drive to O: (for optical) and everything works.
To do this, go CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>STORAGE>DISK MANAGEMENT. All your drives should be laid out in front of you. (If your optical drive isn't listed, you might have to insert a disk and from the menu bar select ACTION>REFRESH.) Left click on your optical drive to select it and then right click on Change Drive Letter and Paths... Select Change, enter any unused drive letter greater than B: (D: is common by default, O: seemed to work) and OK your way out of it.
Changing my drive letters has probably left me open to problems from other programs that don't taken drive letter flexibility into account, but iTunes works for me.
I am e-mailing this to the Apple tech who tried unsuccessfully to help me, placing suspicion on everything except the coding of iTunes. Hopefully, Apple will put this in their knowledge base, because it seems to be a common problem and few know the solution.

Video Podcasts download but remain greyed out

Hello,
Just installed a new hard drive and upgraded to latest itunes. Video Podcasts download but then remain greyed out.
My only thought is that I don't have latest Quick Time. I have 7.02. Afraid of the latest QT as I see it causing probs over on the QT forum.
thanks for any input,
Al
using ibook G4

Upgraded QT to 7.2 and that did the trick.

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Just bought macbook pro and want to download purchases I have already made from itunes apps but when it says downloaded can't find it. I have run a search and found it in my mac but unable to open or do anything??

Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

I am triying to manually add files to my iphone and dont let me. When I check mark on manually manage box on itunes and then apply, itunes said that I already synced my iphone in other computer. I never had use another itunes to synced my iphone.
How can I solve these stupid restrictions?

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

My macbook air was installed double system ,one is mac ox 10.6.7 another is windows7. the movie and the sound can't play together in mac system,however, it is normal when I play the same movie in windows7 system

Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

ITunes 7 Hates my Video Podcasts

Hoping someone can help. iTunes 7 won't play my old movies, music videos or video podcasts, either on the computer or on the ipod. It recognizes that I have them, but won't play them on the computer, and though I've selected all podcasts (also tried doing to manually), won't put any video on the ipod (including TV episodes purchased from apple).
Can anyone recommend a solution that doesn't include restoring iTunes 6?
Thanks.

OK, I spoke too soon on the audio podcasts. Many of my podcasts are just fine, but I have found one (it's an enhanced podcast, I'm not sure if that's the difference) that I cannot play and that I cannot transfer to my iPod (a 4g mini). I have always been able to transfer this podcast, and have it in my list of podcasts to sync.
I cannot sync this podcast, nor can I drag the podcast to my iPod within iTunes. I cannot play the podcast by clicking on it in iTunes, but! if I navigate to the file with Finder and open it, it opens and plays in iTunes! If I play another file, then try to play this podcast by clicking in iTunes, it no longer plays!
Between this issue, and the iTunes store causing iTunes to crash consistently since the upgrade to 7.0, I am going to have to consider moving to a different music system!

Video podcasts download - then dissapear!

I am running iTunes 10.5.2.11 and Windows XP Pro... This issue just started recently, I believe when I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.
Any time I try to download any video podcast in iTunes on my computer, it begins downloading, then finishes and says "done", then when I check my podcasts, it's not there, and it is gone from the downloads list. What's up with that?

Try installing the latest version of quicktime. I have been fighting this issue for several days after re-installing my computer from the ground up. I have read websites, forums, downloaded and paid for RegCure, and contacted support. In the moment before I demoilished my computer I had the epiphany to check quicktime. Once I downloaded the latest version and it associatted the files to quicktime they now show up.

How to prevent video podcast downloads

Hi, I have a first generation iPod nano and so can't play video. Some of the podcasts I subscribe to sometimes have a video download instead of audio. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from downloading these video podcasts?
Many thanks!

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

Video podcasts downloaded directly to my iPhone

I can't get rid of. I've downloaded directly some video podcasts on my iPhone and now they won't got away. even when I connect to iTunes. My iTunes is set up so that when a podcast is [played it goes away and is erased from iTunes and the iPhone. It works when I download the podcast from iTunes but keeps sticking around on the iPhone when it's been downloaded directly to the iPhone even when it's been played.
Can I erase podcast directly on an iPhone and how?
Thx

delete it from your itunes library and sync your iphone
or swipe left in your iphone to show delete button (iOS 5 only)

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

Video Podcasts suddenly won't play

Hello...
I've been able to download and play video podcasts, movie trailers, etc... from the music store in my iMac's iTunes with no problem. The last few times (this may have been since I downloaded the last iTunes update, it's just been a couple of days, so I'm not sure) I've downloaded a video podcast it has played just fine for a while then suddenly (a different places on different downloads - no consistent time) the screen freezes. The timer still continues to move as if it's still playing, but there is no audio and only the freeze frame. Has anyone else been having this problem? Any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. It starts to play, but there's no audio and it's choppy. Help!

TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play? The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod. Help? Thanks.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
