Chooppy playback of video using iTunes 7.0.2

I have finally gotten things, two months on, to where I can view iTunes m4V files (TV shows that i downloaded) in a rather normal way, using iTunes, on small screen only,
however,
the skipping persists when in iTunes I click on to FULL SCREEN mode.
This skipping of audio and video does not occur with other file formats in players such as WIMP 11, and InterVideo DVD.
Followed all instruction to set everything correctly.
Please help.
Please advise.

I built a new computer over this weekend (well, I purchased a Dell XPS 410 and did some upgrades to it) and am having teh same issue rj is describing above with stuttering playback. However all my video playback in iTunes is choppy - even videos that I have converted from other formats.
I have to lean toward this being an iTunes problem as I just checked some Quicktime HD and Windows Media HD trailers at 1080p and they play just fine (spectacularly, actually, as compared to my old PC). I tested the Windows Media HD file from both my RAID arrays and it plays perfectly from both (I only have QT, not QT Pro, so I can't download the trailers from Apple to try them on both arrays unfortunately).
I have to head in to the office now but I will do some more troubleshooting this evening.
I did NOT have the latest version of iTunes on my old PC (was running 7.0.1) but I hadn't watched any movies probably since upgrading to 7.0 (at which point what I was watching - Heroes - was just fine in full screen mode).
System Specs:
Dell XPS 410
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB DDR-667
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all available updates
2x WD Raptor 74GB in RAID0 (benched at 109MB/s ave transfer, 211MB/s burst)
2x WD Caviar SE16 320GB in RAID0 (benched at 113MB/s ave transfer, 310MB/s burst)
DVD-DL (SATA)
CD-RW/DVD (SATA)
ATI Radeon X1950Pro with modified Catalyst 6.9 drivers (only thing that works right now, was thinking this was the problem but since all other video works fine I'm sure it isn't now)
Dell XPS 410 Modified Windows XP Pro

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!

iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected. If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

Converting home video using iTunes

I have a new iPod with video 3rd generation. Everything works great with all video I purchase through iTunes (I'm using the latest version for XP). However, when I try to convert a home video file (in the correct format) to play on the iPod, only the audio plays... the video portion is white. For example, I take a video clip (.avi format) and convert to .mpeg4 or .mov or other acceptable video format and import it into iTunes. The video plays back great in iTunes. I then 'convert' so I can install on the iPod, and the video turns white and only the sound comes through. Any thoughts? Thanks.

No offence taken!!! As you sent your response I finally got success! I am not sure what the problem was.... I seemed to have a dll clash, but not sure if that caused any issues. Anyway, re-downloaded and installed and all seems to be fine now. Thanks so much for your help and perseverance! I shall now continue to convert my videos.

How can I get a cool intro like this one on my videos using iTunes?

hi George
thank you for helping.
I thought about the same idea >> to add fields and hide them and then show them one by one upon to user reuest , but I think that will solve just a part of the problem regarding the functionality ,,, while the formatting issue won't be solved ,,, I mean look at the form I linked to ,,, the table borders and final appearance remains the same even after adding a new row.
is it possible to do so if I used AcroForm and hide the fields ?
and how will I get the total of those variable number of rows after user finished adding rows ?
regarding the other thing you mentioned (pushing items down as new rows are added) ,,, I think I can avoid this by adding the table in a separate page ,,, because according to my business requirements ,,, rows that will be added won't exceed 30 maximum.
thank you for your time.

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.

Cannot sync iPhone with new apps using iTunes

My question is I am unable to sync my applications or even music or videos using iTunes, I use different computers to sync my iPhone, and one in particular but that particular system too has greyed out everything on me in iTunes and doesn't allow me to sync either songs videos, photots or applications.... and gives me a warning that I will loose all the existing apps or songs on my iPhone and whatever songs, apps..are present in the iTunes library would be added to my iPhone.
I want to keep existing songs, apps.. and also the new apps and songs from this itunes can it be done.
Thanks for helping

The iPhone can sync iTunes content (music, videos, apps, photos, etc.) from one computer only. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.

I would like to be able to take a video from my camera and download it to several iPads for playback without using iTunes? Possible?

I am taking a video for high school and would like to be able to download on multiple iPads without using iTunes. Is there an app that would aid me in doing this?

If you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) and the video that your camera generates is in one of the formats tha the iPad supports then you can directly move it to the iPad with a USB connection.

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.
Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device?
Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

How to unset the 'use itunes for internet music playback' option

In Advanced Preferences, I mistakenly clicked the SET button for "Use itunes for internet music playback". Since then, I have closed and opened itunes, so it appears the preference has been saved (the field is no longer highlighted)
I cannot find any way to unset this option. I want to unset this option. Could someone please tell me how?

I don't think that deleting the plist file will help.
Clicking that button sets the handler for a bunch of file types. You can't just unset it, you need to set the handler to something other than iTunes. Normally audio and video are handled by the Quicktime Plugin. You can restore that behavior in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> QuickTime (in the Internet and Network set) -> Advanced -> Mime Settings...
You may have other plugins or programs you want to use for some formats (like .wmv or .avi). Those programs should be able to reclaim the file and MIME types from their preferences.

Export video from multiple iOS devices to a Mac without using iTunes

I am tasked with importing video files from multiple iPads to a single Mac to aggregate for editing.
The file sizes on each device are many gigs large. I don't want to use iMovie on the Mac or iOS.
I don't want to use iTunes (since there are many iPads not owned by me to import video from).
Suggestions?

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

makam wrote:
Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

Video transfers without using iTunes

Hi. is there a way of transferring videos from my external hard drive directly to my iphone for viewing without normal syncing with iTunes? i do not have enough space on my mac to copying all the videos into iTunes to be able to sync to my iPhone.
or is there a way of using iTunes to import the file without copying it directly onto my mac. if memory serves, iTunes on windows only collects the links or filepaths to the music files, is there a way of doing this on mac just for the videos and then syncing the videos directly to my iPhone.

thank you. i shall try that very soon. on a related note. does the iPhone play avi /divx coded videos? avi videos that i do have in iTunes do not sync...

Made HDD, Battery and case upgrades to my ipod video 5th Gen and now I am told "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore."

I have a 5th Gen iPod Video that I have had many years now. It has worked faithfully until about 2 weeks ago and the HDD totally died on me.
So I decided to upgrade from a 30 to 60 gb HDD, replaced the battery for the appropriate HDD and bought a new back shell for the unit. I made incremental installations as parts arrived. First the HDD itself and the next day the battery. Both went in with no problem and I have been running them in a jerry rigged case (basically the 30gb back case has been taped together to make sure it was going to work OK. I have been taking it to work with absolutely no issues, great response and great battery life. Synching is fabulous.
Here is the issue, I hope this makes sense...
Today I received my 60 GB silver back cover and moved all of my parts over. It seems to fit fine. Headphone jack is working fine. However, now the hold button is unresponsive (which is not a big loss to me but still just so you know). I can play music and I can sync. However, if I restart the unit, or I try synching a second time, I get screen saying "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." It does not matter if I snap it shut or leave the case loose, this happens.
I have this error until I open my case up again and do nothing else. At that time, the error goes away, and my ipod is fine again. Then, the screen comes back after restarting to a normal boot. But, if I sync or restart without doing anything else, we go through the motions again until I open the case back up.
I have disconnected the battery as well as the HDD, but still have the problem. I have also disconnected the cable coming from the hold button/earphone jack to the M/B,
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue or have any suggestions.

Shouldn't you contact the vendor or person who sold the back cover? At the very least, it has a Hold switch that doesn't work.
This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
and they call it "Headphone Jack & Hold Switch"
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod+5th+Generation+%28Video%29+Headphone+Jack+%26+H old+Switch+Replacement/604
Under Relevant Parts, they seem to list separate parts for the thick and thin back cover.
On a side note, another way to fix your iPod is to use a compact flash card instead of a hard drive. This web page has details
http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-your-5th-Gen-iPod-Video-to-use-Flash-Mem or/
Then, you can use your existing thin profile back cover that works. I replaced the hard drive in my 4th gen iPod with a CF card. Currently, it is only 8GB, but with lower prices these days, I may soon upgrade it with a 64GB CF card. But it works great with the 8GB card. The iPod is noticeably lighter. There is no hard drive spin-up delay. The battery lasts longer per charge. And it is no doubt more shock-resistant.
