Crashing during video play with iTunes open.

Within the past week I've noticed multiple crash/freezes. This has cost me dearly as I went two days without a backup on my iPhone and lost personal data. Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there something I'm missing? Here is the situation:
I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz Intel Core, 4G 1067 Mhz DDR3. I've had it for over a year with no hiccups.
At least three times in the past week and a half I have had the screen black out and audio skip/repeat with no way of recovering other than a hard boot. Each instance I've had iTunes open in the background; sometimes playing music, sometimes not. I've also had Firefox open to Youtube or running a video via Vimeo. When I use expose' to show all windows, it will crash/freeze. I could use expose 20/20 times with no problem and then all of a sudden it crashes when I use it the 21st time. All software on all apps is up to date. I have two external drives connected. This has only recently happened within the past week or two. Any ideas?

The OS at the bottom is incorrect. I'm running 10.6.8. I've tried to duplicate the problem since your last post and haven't noticed anything with activity monitor. Just backed up everything.......
On a side note, the itunes library xml was apparently corrupted. I'm a bit confused. It attempted to read/reimport my library information and was able to recall/recognize previous playlists and my entire library including videos/podcasts. But I have NO recovery of iphone backups. Why? I tried to restore my iPhone and it defaulted to factory settings without giving the option of choosing a backup, like it thought it was the first time iTunes saw the phone. How do I go about finding the backups? Are they gone with the corrupted library file. I've never had so much trouble with a mac before.....

Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes. I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

Here is the compatibility table
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

HT1349 can music video play on itunes

Can music video play in itunes?

The only time I had that problem was with a music file that was saved as a .WMA format. I don't suppose that is your problem since you purchased it from the iTunes store. How about dumping it (remove it from your iTunes and from your iTunes library folder - put it someplace else on your computer to save it just in case.) and trying to download it again - you are allowed to do that up to five times.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Movies which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. How so?

Movies converted from MKV via Handbrake which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. Funny is that Quicktime and Ipad 2 handles subtitles correctly on the same moviefile.
(please note that the subtitles are not burned into movie)
What can be the problem?
Has anyone suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back. The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing. I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help. Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
Then try this:

Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

My videos play with video/audio out of sync in itunes, what gives?

All of my itunes video library, including those purchased from the itunes store, play with the video/audio out of sync. However, if I use Quicktime, they play fine. I just noticed this recently with the latest update to itunes.

I found the solution using google search. Basically you have to downgrade your itunes software to version 10.7 and rebuild your library. Just type in iTunes audio/video out of sync on google search and you will find the solution I am talking about. I didn't think it would actually work because supposedly apple knows what it's doing but not in this case. Why they would put out a new version of itunes that makes none of your videos play right, even ones you purchased from itunes is beyond me but I'm sticking with version 10.7 for as long as I can.

Sound stop playing during video playing on ipad 1 with ios 5.1.1

after updating my ipad 1 to ios 5.11 the sound on my ipad sometimes stops suddenly. it happens during video playback, music listening or just text typing on keyboard.
i ve tried all the advices seen on communities and no one worked for me (restore the system, change the lock screen button configuration, clean the headphone input, test with apple headphones...)
please help me to find a solution and thank you for your help.
another information : when sound stop playing, sometimes when i lock the ipad, a strange noise comes from the speakers like a larsen.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Video playing with no sound in iTunes, playing with sound on iPod

When I try to watch my videos on iTunes the video plays but the sound does not, it even happens on videos that I bought from the music store. The sound for my songs works just fine, just not for video. They work when I play it them on my iPod, too. Any ideas?

i updated to 10.4.7 and it worked.

Crash on video launch (with bug theory)

This morning I launched iTunes to watch "Cars" (my son begs for it every day). It was displaying on the second monitor, since that's where I watch my video. I figured I'd try the "present in full screen" to see if it would pop to the screen of the main window, which it did (meaning the built-in 24" where the menu bar is.)
Once I closed that out, though, I now get a crash every time I try to open a video (I sent a crash report on this some time this afternoon, mentioning that I was trying to open a newly-downloaded Daily Show episode.)
I am going to move my iTunes library file out of the way, rebuild it and try the same sequence of events to see if I can reproduce it.

I tried removing all traces of iTunes (libraries, and plists from the ~/Library/iTunes dir) and now it crashes while reimporting the old directory.
I tried to launch with option key and create a new library, but had to scrap that since there's not enough HD space left to copy my whole library.
So, I relaunched, created a new library, unchecked the prefs to have it copy files and organize my music dir, and attempted to re-import. Then, it crashed again. :/
The video I was trying to watch before works fine from Quicktime, and I did a test importing the iTunes\ Music/TVShows and Podcasts dirs to see if perhaps I had downloaded a "poison" file that was causing the crash on import, but they all imported fine.
I have an 87GB dir of music, movies and TV

Why doesn't CD burned with iTunes open with track data in iTunes on another computer?

I brought an album of 11 original songs in cda format into iTunes - I then addeded all the data to each song - artist composer genre etc. and burned an audio CD from the playlist. When I play it in the car CD player it displays the song names. When I load it back into iTunes on my computer all the data shows. When I load it into another computer with iTunes - all it shows is the original file names ie Track01 Track02 etc. How come?

Thing that baffles me is that the CD opensin itunes in the computer that created it displaying the full data - but shows track numbers only on another computer - when opened in itunes.
On the computer that created it, the info is stored in a file, not on the CD itself.
Here is more info:
