Can't view videos in iTunes now

My computer, previously running on Vista, recently crashed. I backed up my data and loaded Windows 7 instead. Things are running great now, and I have downloaded iTunes 9.2. I have all my music and videos back, but I cannot watch any of the videos on iTunes. I tried renting a video from iTunes, but cannot watch that either. Every time I try, iTunes freezes. I can watch videos with Windows Media Player on my computer, and I can watch my iTunes videos on my nano. So it seems my computer and the files are both ok.
Why can't I watch videos on iTunes? I tried redownloading iTunes and updating my video drivers. Any other ideas?

I'm having a problem with videos too. The other day I tried out the iTunes Rental service, and when I went to play my movie, iTunes froze. I updated to the latest versions of iTunes/Quicktime and the problem persisted. And now I notice that ALL of my videos cause iTunes to freeze. I can't say for certain if there was a problem with all videos before I downloaded the movie, but I certainly didn't notice one before. Videos still play fine in standalone Quicktime and I checked the DirectX settings already.
Any help appreciated.

Can Not View Videos on iTunes!!

Whenever I click preview video on the iTunes store,
the preview box doesn't show the video.
Instead it shows purple, brown & green fuzz.
It's the same when trying to watch a video I have purchased.
I don't know how to fix this?
Any ideas?
Thanks (:

Can't view video in iPhoto

Can't view video in iPhoto on my iMac but I can view it on my iPad! Source of video iPhone, sent to me via email. Appears in iPhoto on my iMac as a blank folder. Using OSX 10.9.5 Maverick. Any ideas? I have the same problem with a voice recording sent to me in the same way.

That's a whole new ball game. Go the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos check box.
In iPhoto go to its iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes.
Reboot, and go back to each preference pane and recheck those boxes. That should jumpstart the Shared Photo Streams.

Can not view videos on you tube in firefox4 using flash player11

I'm using firefox 4 and i can not view videos on you tube.I've updated and reinstalled adobe flash player twice with no results.I've also tried the other checks,security blocking,cache,pop ups etc Works fine on IE. Hope someone has a solution.I've always liked firefox but not the newer versions and many of the changes;

I can't believe you're still running Firefox 4. Why not a newer version?
There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (12-13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Does any of that appear promising?

I can't view video on imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image

I can't view video on my imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image on the clip. I can hear sound but no video. What is the problem. I wish someone can help me on this issue? Thanks.

The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-CX550. I used the internal hard disc to record. I can's use MTS clips if it is recorded on the internal hard disc. I converted clips into MOV, MP4, and Final Cut formats, non of them worked on Final Cut Pro X. I tried to import the same clips on iMovie, it worked but super slow. MOV and MP4 formats used to work for FCPX, the only difference is I recorded the footage with HD 1920x1080.
The clip I imported showed as a blue thing with two rectagle shapes on it. I can hear the sound, but no video. I also imported my old clips with sam format, it worked. I tried a lot of things, no use.
By the way, what is spwecs?

Can you stream video from itunes using 1st generation appleTV

can I stream video using itunes on my PC and an appleTV(1st generation)?

AppleTV 1 works differently.
It has a sync/share mode and sharing (streaming only) modes set up by pairing the unit with iTunes on computers using the Settings>Computers menu.
The first sync and share connection is for one itunes library and allows you to sync compatible media to the unit's hard drive as well as stream the rest seamlessly if itunes is runniung and the drive has filled up - this media is accessed under My Music, My Movies etc.
Sharing libraries stream only and are accessed via My Shared Movies, Music etc.
Yes, Handbrake is a video converter that has AppleTV presets - use AppleTV1 preset or a simple universal Apple preset.
See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38571
ATV1 does not understand Home Sharing or video Airplay.

How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area? Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
Thanks for any guidance.
Dave

As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

I cannot view videos purchased itunes crashes and powers everything down - only happens with itunes - no other videos played or viewed by other sites and methods

I have tried everything I can think of to fix problems I'm having with using/viewing purchased movies and TV episodes and viewing them in itunes.
They start to play for only a few minutes - usually choppy and distorted video and sound sync and then the laptop powers down entirely and goes into a loop of inability to start back up normally or through safe mode, etc.
I have absolutely no other problems watching and viewing videos from other websites orr methods for hours and hours on end. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and still have the same issues.
I'm wondering if there's a Windows setting or preference that is incorrectly causing this problem or if there's an error within itunes itself.
Any help to correct would be appreciated since I've spent a ton of money purchasing videos I cannot view.

Try this:
Plug in your iPod,
1. Right click My Computer >> Manage and select Device Manager in the left tab.
2. Click Portable Devices >> right click Apple iPod >> Uninstall
3. Unplug and plug your iPod, now wait for windows to re recognize your ipod [ In Device Manager, you will see the new recognized Apple Ipod ]
4. Press F5 to refresh your windows explorer and see if your Apple iPod will show up with a camera icon.
Otherwise, refer to these articles:

Can not view video over the Internet on WVC80N

I set up the web cam, set up the port forward etc so now I am able to:
   1. view/change web cam settings inside my home network.
   2. view video inside my home network.
   3. view/change web cam settings over the Internet.
But I am not able to view video over Internet. Every time I did so (using IE browser), after clicking the view video button, I got an error : There are too many user connections or the device is busy, please try again latter.
Anyone has a fix on this? I set up port forwarding on port 1024 (that's how I can chage settings over Internet).
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support but they could not find the reason.
Thanks,
Sam

Who is your ISP? How you are trying to access your Camera from the remote location? Along with Port 1024 you need to do port forwarding for port 80 on your router for the Cameras IP address. As WVC80N works on your HTTP Port.
To access your camera from the Remote location, you need to use http://wan ip:80.

Can't import videos to iTunes library...

I can't get videos into my iTunes library. I've done it once before, but my computer isn't letting me drag the file from the Movie folder on my computer to the library on iTunes.
Does it make a difference which format the movie is? Because it's .avi, so yeah. I know its got to be a certain format for it to be on the iPod, and you can just click the "convert to AAC" or whatever on the video, but I just can't get it into the library to convert it to the AAC.
Windows XP

Sorry to bust in on this thread but am pretty good with computers but feel like a real idiot here.
I recently downloaded a video and converted it into mpeg-4 using videora which was done successfully. Now I opened Itunes and went onto library where all my songs are and clciked on 'file' and then 'add file to library' and double clicked on the video which said it was mpeg-4 and I cant find it in my library, nor is it listed when I go down and click on videos.
I hope I'm doing something really stupid and missing something. Can anyone help??
Thanks

Can I view videos taken on my Ipod Touch on Apple TV?

I've recently purchased my Ipod Touch 4th generation and Apple TV 2nd generation - I don't seem to be able to view videos taken on my Ipod on Apple TV. Would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you
Danielle

You will have to import the video into your iTunes library and convert it to an AppleTV version. You can find this option in the Advanced menu in iTunes ->create iPad or AppleTV version
