Coverflow and music videos

Hi, I like to use coverflow on those occasions I use my macbook pro as a jukebox. Connect it to the stereo and it is fun to have the art in the background.
What I would REALLY like to do, however, is have the tracks that are music videos play as music videos (rather than a static picture or something else) whenever they come up in the playlist.
Anyone know a way to do that?
If not, then I suppose this is a feature request.

That's strange, because when I just tried this on my Mac, the video in my playlist played as a video...in Cover Flow. Not sure why it's not working for you. Is there any other information you can provide that might lead to the root of the problem? I am using iTunes 7.6, so if you're using iTunes 8, it could have changed, though I don't know why Apple would take away that functionality.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

    I have switched to a new iPad and transferred all the needed aps, included some high-priced ones for my business.  The only thing I can't do is get my music and music videos to move.  I originally tried to backup the old unit and restore to the new unit  and this was successful for a lot of the aps, it didn't work for the music.  It also messed up several aps that I had already initialized on the new unit and I had to go through the whole process again.  How can I move my music without damaging other aps?
    Thanks for any help.

    The contents of the Music and Videos apps aren't included in a device's backup. If you don't have them on your computer's iTunes library then if they are iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them back from your old iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to your new iPad. If some/all of them are not iTunes purchases and you don't have them on your computer nor on your backup of your library then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • Synching music and music videos

    I know it is possible to synch the iPhone with two different computers if you designate different types of information to be synched with each. The question is, can you synch music files with one computer and music videos with another? I ask because it looks like iTunes is setup to treat music and music videos as one type of information source.

    No. The only types of info that can be synced with multiple computers are contacts, calendar events, and bookmarks. iTunes media (music, videos, apps, ringtones, as well as photos, although those are not really iTunes media) can only be synced with one computer

  • Automatically switching between Visualization and Music Video modes

    While playing back a mixture of both music (mp3s) and music videos is it possible to automatically have the video output switch between the visualizer for mp3s and the music videos themselves?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Eric.

    I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
    I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
    @Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
    Update:
    With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

  • Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

    I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
    I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
    I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
    Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
    Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
    Thanks for any advice,
    Chris.

    Chris
    Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
    Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
    Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
    Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
    Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
    As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
    As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
    I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
    situation.
    Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.
    Thank you.

  • Issue with nano and music video playlist

    Hello, I have two ipods, a video and a nano. I have a playlist for music videos for the video ipod. To keep them separate I checked "manually manage musc" and checked "sync music" and "selected playlist. I've checked all the playlist, except music video. Under my music, not all the songs in my library show up unless I don't have "manually manage music" checked. What should I do to have certain playlists show up and have all my songs in my library show up? Thanks in advance.

    Also, the music videos show up on my summary. How do I get those off as well?

  • How do you get your cd pic and music videos on here?

    Ok Arctic Cat M6 & Superman56,
    SuperTiti is here :-D !!!
    Well, you have 2 possiblities !
    You scan the cover from your CD or you download it from Amazon.com for exemple...
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AA300W/ref=pdcpt_gwi/102-9319419-2141713?n=5174 ...then you click on "see larger image" and download the bigger picture !
    Once done, open iTunes, select the album in the album section of iTunes then type "cmd+i" ( may be "ctrl+i" on Win$ ). Then just drag and drop the picture in the little window made for !
    Then drag the album to your Nano...
    IPORTANT : The picture(s) can not be added directly to the iPod thru iTunes ! It MUST be added to iTunes first, then you drag the song or the album to your iPod !
    Easy no ?

  • Itunes 7 and Music Video not synching

    I have just upgraded to Itunes 7.0 and automatically updated my ipod firmware to 1.2 as instructed. Two problems:
    1. Now all the music video's are in Itunes in a smart playlist called music video's and none appear on the ipod. On the Ipod there is a video category called Music Video's which is now empty. This category does not appear in itunes (Whilst the other two - Movies and TV shows do and synch fine).
    2. The playlists on my Itunes are synchronised to the ipod fine but music playlists with just music within them are put in the music area of playlists. Playlists containing just one video are moved to video playlists - very confusing! Needs an option to make a playlist contain just music or just video so that they separate correctly and synch correctly (my one with video only does not go to the ipod at all).
    Mesh 1.4Ghz   Windows XP  

    Sorry Guys,
    I've just found the answer to 1 above. You have to request selection of music video's at the bottom of the form for music synchwhen the ipod is docked. (I did not notice this option before and why it was now turned off I do not know). I think I may have a way around item 2 as well as video's were not synching. I guess one needs to sort out whatis in what playlist by eliminating videos from music ones and vice versa.
