Computer freezes when trying to watch a video downloaded from itunes

I have a dell m1330 running windows vista, and whn i try to watch a recently downloaded tv show from itunes, the video will freeze, and the computer will too. I have to restart the computer. The computer also froze when i tried to sync the video to my iphone. I am using itunes 8.0.2.20 and the latest version of quick time. Also I am currently travelling in Japan although I live and have my account in the US

Unfortunately you may not be able to burn movies to any DVD (and might be illegal); here is a link to Apple's iTunes legal info:
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SALE
Excerpt:
+(iv) You shall be authorized to burn an audio playlist up to seven times.+
+(v) You shall not be entitled to burn video Products or ringtone Products.+
From what I've been able to gather, it is not allowed to burn video and, according to the Terms of Use (on the right of this page), we are not allowed to discuss methods to circumvent such restrictions or it may result in deletion of posts by the hosts.

  • 7.01 & videos downloaded from iTunes

    I had to go back down from 7.04 to 7.01 in order to import footage to FCE. So, does that mean I can't watch videos purchased from iTunes? I tried watching videos - I can see the video but can't hear the sound. Is this a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't?

    this is creepy - I have 7.04 on the G5, which is running 10.3.9 and I can hear the audio when I play video downloaded from iTunes but can't see anything. when I boot to the external hard drive, which is running 10.4.5, I don't get anything at all.

  • Burning video downloaded from ITunes

    is there a way to change the format of downloaded 'Shows' (not music) from ITunes (ex: 'The Office') to be able to save them in, and burn them w/ IDVD instead of ITunes? I want to be able to play the video downloaded from 'ITunes' in a regular DVD player. As it stands now, you can only playback these episodes on your Mac or an IPod... Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Troel
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I don't believe there is a way of changing the Format. But there is an accessory
    that you can get in the Apple Store(you can access that from the home page)
    that will allow you to connect your iPod directly to your TV and play everything from it on your TV. RCA patch cords for sound and S-Video that will adapt from
    your iPod to the TV.

  • Can't find music videos downloaded from iTunes on my iPod

    Any ideas as to why I can't find the music videos I've downloaded from iTunes on my iPod?

    I am currently using iTunes 7.5. I've made some music video on my own, I have converted the .dv format into .mp4 format. I first import the .mp4 files into the Movie library. But I cannot put these clips in the music video playlist the clips in the movie library. I then tried to import these clips again to the Music library. Nothing happened. I tried to copy the clips from the movie library and paste to the Music library, I could do the cut, but when I selected the music library, the paste command was gray out.
    What did I do wrong?

  • HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

    I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its  After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong? 
    Thanks,
    WB

    Hey Willm700,
    Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
    The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.
    Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation):
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Very slow video downloading from iTunes

    I have a FIOS 75Mbit connection (and get can 75Mbit on my N-router and Macbook Pro's WIFI).  But my new 1080p Apple TV is another matter. Two minute trailers take longer than 2 minutes to download. Half hour HD TV shows can take 90 minutes to download! And if I try to watch a movie I rented, Apple TV tells me it'll be ready to watch in "about 5 hours".
    So my immediate reaction is ***. Any ideas why my wireless performance is so great with my MBP and so terrible with my AppleTV (just 10 feet away)

    I stumbled across this thread looking for help with the same issue...slow to very slow movie downloads from iTunes.
    Changing the DNS, both on my iMac as well as my Airport Extreme router helped.
    I'm on Comcast and generally get around 33Mbps downloads via speedtest.net.  Based on several Namebench tests Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) has always been on top and I've always configured my router and Macs using the top 3 Namebench recommendations with Google at #1 position.  However while downloading movies from iTunes Activity Monitor showed very sharp "Data received/sec" rises and falls...anywhere from 4.40MB/sec to 100KB/sec or sometimes zero.  Most of the time it would start off well, but trail off to very poor and sporatic speeds after about 30 seconds.
    Per finaleMile's and other's recommendations elsewhere I removed Google Public DNS from the settings on my router and iMac and things improved with respect to stability.  Although the "top speed" of about 4.40Mbps didn't improve, downloads did smooth out and remain between about 2.30Mbps to 4.10Mbps during the entire download.  Not speedy but a marked improvement in stability and overall download time.
    Thanks for the tip!
    BTW, I've found that during regular web surfing, using Google's Public DNS is faster so I re-add it after downloading movies from iTunes.  It's a bit of a PIA, but worth it.  Wish there were a better option though.
    FWIW I tend to download rented and purchased movies to iTunes on my iMac and then play them back via my Apple TV3 rather than "stream" them directly from iTunes.  That way if there are external network problems they won't have a negative impact on our viewing experience.

  • Can no longer download itunes music. Says all content will be lost. No longer on original computer. Is there any way I can download from itunes without losing content.

    I can no longer download from itunes on ipod. It is not original computer and new computer message from itunes is I will lose all content on ipod if I continue to download. Is there anyway around this? Also have not updated ipod, is that important.

    You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. You can manage music amond different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you wnat to make the new computer your syncing computer you must restore the iPod. 
    - See if you can make a backup of the iPod on the new computer by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup.  If successsful, restore the iPod from that backup after tansfering your iTunes purchases to the new computer.
    - If you can't make a backup copy/move the backup file from the old computer, That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You may have to turn off hide hidden files.
    If you do not have the backup file you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod.  You will loss all your app data.

  • PC freezes when trying to watch videos on internet

    From september i couldn't watch any video on internet(youtube,facebook,and other websites) when using mozilla and everytime i play a video PC freezes,so i downloaded chrome and it worked fine,but few days ago PC started freezing again when watching videos online on chrome.(I'm sorry for grammar mistakes,english isn't my birth language,hope you understand)
    I tried re-installing mozzila,re-installing flash player but that didn't work,please help me,what other solutions can i try?

    Recent freezes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

    Above are all must reads and could all likely fix the freezing problems.

  • Computer freezes when trying to sync ipod touch

    I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 64 bit and I'm not sure if I had this problem. I have the 64 bit version of itunes downloaded and I got a new 32gb ipod touch for christmas today. I plugged it in and set it all up and when it goes to sync, it shows that it gets to the 5th song out of like 500? songs I have and my whole computer freezes. I have my itunes setup so that it gets my songs from my external hard drive. I don't know if that would be a problem by trying to send my songs from my hard drive to my computer and then to my ipod. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

    i am having some success with my touch now by right clicking on the itunes icon and selecting, troubleshoot compatibility, troubleshoot program, program worked on earlier versions,then select, win vista service pack2. this is probably not a permenant fix but for the time being it seems to work. hope you have some joy with your setup.

  • In the iPhone Photos app, I get an error that states "Requested URL was not found on this server" when trying to watch a video I recorded

    For some reason, I cannot watch a video I recorded on my iPhone. I can see the first frame of it in the gallery, but when I click on it, I get the error that the requested URL could not be found on this server. Why would that display, if the file is on my iPhone? I'm not using iCloud to back up photos,, but I do have Photo Streaming enabled. Is there any way to get to this video? I don;t want to lose it, as it was a priceless moment.

    Ok, then as long as the videos reside on your PC, do the following:
    1) In iTunes on your PC, unsync the music videos (On the Music tab, uncheck "Include Music Videos, and then sync your iPad).
    2) Sync the music videos back to the iPad (check that same box again and sync once more).
    Does this fix it?
