Can't play video after iTunes 12 update?

My problem is that my video files require Quicktime to be played, and iTunes out of nowhere since the new update says QuickTime incompatible with this iTunes version. That's really stupid. The only solution seems to be a downgrade, or is there another way for me to play my videos?

I think you need to install iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) and QuickTime 7.7.6 for Windows. The first is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core iTunes application, similar to all 64-bit versions of iTunes prior to 12.1. This version can talk to QuickTIme.
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates if you have any problems uninstalling or reinstalling.
When there is a new build of iTunes wait for the version at the first link above to be updated and install from that rather than downloading the newer all 64-bit version, as that will likely have the same issue.

  • Can't play video in itunes...

    Hello everyone, i have iTunes 7.3 and this problem jsut recently started. I am trying to play my music video (or any video for that matter) and iTunes keeps asking for authorization and I keep doing it. The number of computers I have authorzied don't add up or anything, I jsut can't play it after I authorize it, there's a gray screen in the window, then when I try to play another video it does the same thing. I have restarted iTunes, reinstalled iTunes, clean installed iTunes and I am out of ideas...help anyone?

    Were you ever able to resolve this issue. I just ran into the same problem.
    Thanks

  • Can't play videos after I move them to the micro sd memory card

    I moved my videos bought on video unlimited to the micr sd card to save space using the file transfer app that came with the tablet and now they won't play. I just get the message " can't play video". If I move back onto internal memory they won't play - I suppose because not in the original location but can't see how to fix this. I want to store and play from the sd card. What am I doing wrong please!

    I would advise contacting Video Unlimited support for your region regarding this as it sounds like an issue with the DRM on the files: http://en.support.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/app/help/VU/p1

  • Having issues playing videos after the latest update

    After the latest update for ITunes, I am having issues with some of my videos.  Some of my videos will play while others in attempting to play them will play back choppy, at times the picture will freeze and then all at once the video will start fast forwarding to catch up to where it should be, and then at other times the video will cut out intirely, the screen will be completely black without the control areas in the top right corner or the center of the bottom of the screen even being visible.
    Have been unable to watch a large number of my TV series, and movies.

    Try playing videos directly in Quicktime:
    1.) Open Quicktime
    2.) Click File > Open File
    3.) Navigate to your iTunes folder
    4.) Movies are in iTunes\Movies\, TV in iTunes\TV Shows\, podcasts in iTunes\Podcasts
    5.) Select a video and open it
    6.) Watch in awe as Quicktime plays it perfectly, full screen option is in the View menu BTW.
    iTunes 10.7.0.21 is a disaster.

  • 1280x720 mp4 videos stop playing video after 9.1 update, only sound works

    After upgrading to 9.1, 1280x720 mp4 videos won't play video anymore, only sound. Any help?

    I am having a similar problem with videos. After an update, some of my video files play and others do not. They are all in mpeg-4 video format so I don't know that is the difference except the videos that are not playing are larger files of movies. The shorter videos play fine. Any ideas? My quicktime is up to date and I'm using iTunes 9.1. Before updates I was able to view the videos without a problem.
    I am guessing that because of the size of the videos...mine are 640x352 that does not play but 480x320 will play

  • Can't play videos from iTunes store after switching machines

    Symptom: my iTunes Library lives on an external drive. Recently I needed to send my primary MacBook Pro in for repair, so I authorized my backup machine successfully and used it in the interim. Upon the return of my primary machine, I did a fresh OS X install from the DVD (using the option to copy over my home directory from the backup machine in target disk mode), then used Software Update to install iTunes 7.2. The problem is that TV shows purchased from the Apple Store will no longer play on the primary machine, though they will on the backup. Double-clicking on their titles simply does nothing. In addition, TV shows cannot be added to the library after having been removed, and trying to open them in QuickTime Player causes that program to quit silently.
    Music, including purchased music, plays fine. The file paths shown in iTunes for the video files are correct, and permissions look right as far as I can tell. iTunes claims that it has been authorized successfully, though I have tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing it a few times just to be safe. I can't think of what else I could be missing. Any ideas?

    Update your Quicktime to v7.1.6.

  • Podcasts are without video after iTunes 702 update !!

    After updating to iTunes 702, my previously downloaded podcasts are not viewing any video, just the audio.
    Anyone has the same problem ??

    When I navigate via Music/Podcasts (or Podcasts straight off the main menu if you have your iPod configured that way), I get the audio and video podcasts and these are then played back audio-only (ie any video podcasts are played back from that menu as thought they were audio-only, which isn't a bad thing if I have my iPod in my pocket, as I guess it uses less power than generating the video which I'm not watching?).
    To watch video podcasts including the video, I have to navigate through the menus via Videos/Video Podcasts, then I see only the video podcasts and any I select from there are played back audio+video.
    If that isn't the case for you too, I don't have any suggestions because I don't think I am doing anything particular to make it work that way. This is with a 5.5G 80Gbyte iPod and the latest firmware and iTunes software.

  • Playing videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad

    Can I play videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad. All I seem to be able to get is the music when I connect via an HDMI cable or wirelessly to apple TV.
    Thanks

  • I can't play videos and have followed all advice I've seen

    I can see I'm not the only one as it's mentioned on the forums a few times, but I can't play videos on Itunes or Quicktime anymore.  I've been through each step mentioned by various people one by one and it's still not working - please can someone help?  I've just bought a lead that enables me to watch my computer on my TV screen and downloaded a whole heap of films, but the only place I can watch them is on my phone!
    Thanks.

    similar problem, and I sometimes get "can't load wrong format" warniings for non-purchased mv4 and mp4 content. Previously I'd given-up trying but recently a need for traveling movies has raisd the issue again.

    You can contact iTunes and explain what happens and then may allow aa redownload.  Unlike for apps and music (some countires only)  a redownload is not guaranteed.

  • Can't steam video after latest update on my I pad mini!

    Can't steam video after last update on I pad mini . Video loads very slow and keeps dropping out it was fine before the update!!!

    If it's showing a different Apple ID, you need to either update them from that Apple ID or delete and redownload them when signed into a different one, which may require repurchasing paid applications.
