Don´t want to play music videos automatically when playing a Single

I´m using iTunes 11.
Its very annoying that iTunes plays music videos automatically when I´m listening to a single I bought on iTunes Store which includes a music video. I don´t have a problem with it when the video appears in my music library, but I don´t want to watch it when I only want to hear music and iTunes is minimized.
I could create a playlist, but I don´t want to because for two tracks it´s worthless.
So does anyone have a workaround for this issue?`

When in iTunes, click on file, then preferences. See the "general" tab. There is a drop down menu "When you insert a CD". What are your settings there ?

Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

Hello, iBillyxD.
Thank you for the question. The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library. You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases. To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

Dear Apple, I doubt you'll read this or do anything but I guess it's worth a try. It used to be that when you played a music video via the musof app on your iphone, it would display the video in landscape mode. Now, extermely inituitively, turning your phone to the side shows a selection of your album covers. No one wants that. I seriously can not think of one person. Looking in your own forums you have questions in 2013 asking to bring this back but no response has been given. That's called arrogance. This is not some big technical ask. It would take you little to no time so what gives? You say you care about the customer experience but between this and the iTunes library syncing issues I am beginning to question that.
You're correct as there is no Apple here in this user to user technical forum.

Hey guys, here's my problem.
I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
I'm lost. Any help?

Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.
Happy Music Video Watching

ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

This is a specific user account issue. If I create a new account I do not have this issue. That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine.
If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device). It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac. I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine.
If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.
The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it.
I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue.
It's maddening!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it. This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before. Select the AppleTV is silently ignored.
Highly frustrating. I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values. No human discernable difference between the working and not working files. At this point I defintely want to file a bug report.

I can't play music videos bought from iTunes

So I bought 3 videos from that triple play, 2 for 1 sale on itunes. I loaded all three videos unto my iphone via playlist because for some reason, they wouldn't sync even though the check mark for music videos is on. Anyway, so I transferred them over, but the videos don't play. It only plays sound, but no video. Am I missing something here? I thought I was able to play music videos on the iphone? That's the only reason why I bought those videos, I don't even have an actual video ipod...the only other ipod I have is my super old 3rd gen...any suggestions on how to get this working?

in iPod, what option are you selecting to play the music videos?
You should select Video. If you view by artist or playlist, then only the music will play.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

Itunes no longer plays music videos on iMac 27inch

When I click on a music video to play the music plays but the video does not. This never used to be the case. Has anybody seen this happen. TV programmes and normal movies play fine..
I found the answer minutes after posting the question ! Seems you cannot have a remote set of speakers selected when playing music videos. Somebody had already answered previously

Hi Dexterdawg
Can you direct me to the thread as I can not sort out the same problem on my iMac
Thanks

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update.

Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

Can't play music videos in sequence

I have about 10 - 12 music videos on my iMac, all of which were downloaded from iTunes.
I can only play one video on the AppleTV and then it stops. Is there a way to play iTunes music videos on my AppleTV in either shuffle or sequence? After one video plays it does not advance to the next video. I have syched the videos to my AppleTV.
Thank you.

If Apple would fix this so the music videos would all play one after another, this would be such a much needed enhancement, as I have really enjoyed this device. Keeping my fingers crossed for 2008...

I-tunes stops working when playing music video
