Can't view movie trailers with iTunes 7.1

I am trying to view trailers. I click the "view trailer" button, a screen appears telling me it's loading, it goes and goes for awhile. Then, it appears that the screen changes for a split second and has a preview window in it, but then instantly reverts back to the initial screen with no trailer window in it. I've tried changing the prefs to not view until the entire file is loaded (both enable and disabled this with same results). The System Prefs > Quicktime > Streaming is set to Automatic. I've repaired permissions and quit and restarted iTunes several times. This occurs repeatedly with the same trailer and with 3 other trailers I've attempted to view. This is the first time I've ever tried to view trailers using iTunes, so I have no previous experience with which to compare. Any suggestions?

I have tried viewing trailers on all 3 of our Macs and found the following:
Macbook Pro (Core 2) - won't play trailer
iMac Intel (Core 2) - won't play trailer
Macbook (Core 2 Duo) - WILL play trailer
May be coincidence, but interesting the Core 2 Duo computer is the only one with which I do not have the above problem.

  • HT204370 can i download movie trailers in itunes store

    hi
    can i download movie trailers in itunes store

    You can't download the trailers, you can only view them in the store.
    If you have an iOS device and are in the US (I'm not sure it it's available anywhere else) then there is a Trailers app :
    Features:
    • Access hundreds of movie trailers, clips, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and images, available in HD or SD
    • Explore an interactive, year-long release calendar that helps you plan when you'll be going to the theaters
    • Save favorite movies and theaters for immediate access anytime

  • IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

    My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

    Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

  • Can't play Movie Trailers from iTunes Store!

    I am wondering if anyone knows why I cant watch free movie trailers on the iTunes Store? It follows as far as letting me choose the size of the trailer cilp I want to watch but after that nothing loads up! the top half of the page is blank! Also I can't watch movie trailers from the apple website through the quicktime option. Yes, I do have Quicktime. Please Help.

    I figured it out, it was just that I needed to upgrade my Quiktime player. Quicktime 7 and I can watch all the movie trailers!!

  • Youtube downloading on ATV very slow and I can't view movie trailers

    I am not sure if both these items are related or not. I am using the Airport Extreme as well as 1 Airport Express for my network. The connection speed according to 2 laptop tests in the room the ATV is in shows my speedtest at approximately 3000 kbps. I have my ATV connected to my TV with an HDMI cable.
    I can connect to my iMac and view any content with my ATV without issue.
    I can view Youtube content but the streaming is very slow or freezes all together. This is frustrating. Also the video is very grainy at best.
    Also I've tried to look at movie trailers and they simply won't load. I don't want to rent a movie using ATV unless I know I am going to be able to watch it. I do have movies on my iMac that I watch using the ATV without issue.
    Is anyone else having the same trouble?

    I have contacted my ISP. The speed I am getting is more than they guarantee it to be. There are no limitations on my account. They did say that from their location the youtube loads are quite slow so they are thinking it is Youtube itself.
    As for not viewing the movie trailers from either my iMac or the ATV he said there are no restrictions on my downloads and can't explain why they are not working. I did restart my airport extreme and I am still unable to load trailers.

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.

  • Can I use movie trailers with a slide show

    I want to create a slide show of images and movie clips and I would like to use a movie trailer in conjuction with it---Is that possible?

    Mackerel, meet MSM. MSM, meet Mackerel. You two are peas in a pod, at least with respect to your slide show plans and needs.
    What you both want to do is exactly what presentation programs like PowerPoint and Keynote are made for. You could also do a version of it in Adobe Acrobat, and you could even cobble up some sort of horrible kludgy substitute in Word or any other word processor that can hold photographs (though the resulting document would be so enormous it might handle at truly glacial speed).
    What you can't do in any of these programs, or in any other that I know of, is automate the placement of a text block that's associated with each picture. That you'd have to do manually. So if you don't like work, you'll either have to find another application that does the job without you, or hand your text out in printed form.

  • Jerky playback of movie trailers within iTunes

    When I try to view movie trailers within iTunes itself, the playback is jerky. It pauses and stops before resuming.
    This is repeatable on two computers (Mac Pro and a Mac Mini), both running the latest version of iTunes and OS X Snow Leopard. I have a DSL connection
    Yet, if I use a web browser (Safari) to go to trailers.apple.com/trailers/ , the playback is fine. Which makes me think that there is some setting within iTunes. But I cannot find any setting to change.
    Any ideas?
    As soon as I post this message, I'm going to boot up in OS X Lion and see the results.

    When I boot into OS X Lion, the playback is fine. I reboot into OS X Snow Leopard, no change (that is, the jerky playback continues).

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

  • Viewing Netflix Trailers with QuickTime in Safari

    I use both Safari and Firefox browsers, but I have come to prefer Safari. I also subscribe to the Netflix DVD rental service. I enjoy the Netflix feature that allows viewing movie trailers by clicking a "Preview" button.
    When I click Preview in Firefox, the trailer plays in Windows Media Player. When I click the Netflix Preview feature in Safari, nothing happens except the URL showing in the address bar shows "http://www.videodetective.net/player.asp?cmd=3&publishedid=6857&CustomerId=672 72&videokbrate=300."
    I would like to use the QuickTime application to view Netflix trailers in my Safari browser but after searching this discussion board, but I haven't uncovered a discussion of the particular issue.
    I am running OS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2, QuickTime 7.0.3, and Player 7.0.3

    When I click Preview in Firefox, the trailer plays in
    Windows Media Player. When I click the Netflix
    Preview feature in Safari, nothing happens except the
    URL showing in the address bar shows
    "http://www.videodetective.net/player.asp?cmd=3&publis
    hedid=6857&CustomerId=67272&videokbrate=300."
    I came upon the answer to this, after asking Saft author Hao Li about it:
    "You have "Block Images and Plugins" checked under Safari menu. Turn it off." I had checked "Only Animation" in the submenu, and when unchecked, I got WMP to work again for previewing movies.
    A temporary solution, in my mind. Let's still see if we can get Netflix to use QuickTime Player! Use their contact link at the bottom of each page to make your desires known.

  • Can i view movies and pictures stored ona Time Capsule using Apple TV

    If you have a Jail Break ATV yes.. if not, no.. as ATV is linked to iTunes.

  • TS1721 can i import movies to my Itunes library

    can I import movies to my Itunes library

    Hi, by default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have two solutions: convert them with a tool like HandBrake. That takes a lot of work and time. Or you use a dedicated tool to import movies in iTunes. I use VideoDrive (www.aroona.net) for this. It will create small references to your videos in iTunes. And it will also add descriptions and covers so they look as nice as officially purchased movies. Keep in mind that if you do not convert the videos, they will not play on iOS devices. VideoDrive (and some others) to support conversions as well. So you always have the choice.
    In my case, I add the videos without conversions so they are nicely categorized in iTunes. And the videos I do want to watch on my iPad, I convert later on. You can do this by selecting a video in iTunes and clicking File -> Create new version. Or use the 'Duplicate Video' feature of VideoDrive. I can imagine that this is overkill if you only have a couple of videos, but if you have a lot, it's great to have them all showing up with artwork in iTunes.
