How can i get purchased iTunes movies to play smooth with no lag?

When i try to play a video that i purchased from iTunes it runs really slow whereas other videos that I have downloaded onto my computer run at the normal rate through iTunes. It seems to only be the videos purchased from iTunes that skip and run slow. Is there anything i can do to make the files run smoother?

The lag may be caused by settings on your computer, or it could be that your computer doesn't meet the video requirements for iTunes (which are higher than the standard iTunes requirements). According to Apple, to play your videos properly you'll need this:
2.0 GHz Pentium class processor or better
512MB RAM
32MB video RAM
If your computer meets those specs, this article is good for troubleshooting settings that could be causing the problem.

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

HT4527 How can I get my itunes music to play the entire song?

After My hard drive crashed and burned it was replaced with a new Hard drive. I restored my itunes folder from my external back up drive. when I go into itunes all of my music appears and most of it plays. However, my older purchases will only play a few bars of music and then it skips to the next song. There are no error messages or "!" to indicate what is happening. I've deauthorized both of my computers and reauthorized the one with the new drive, but no improvement. How can I fix this?

Itunes karaoke: how can I get my itunes karaoke to play on Magic Sing ET19KV?

I have an EnterTech Magic Sing ET19KV karaoke system and I'd love to buy some new songs for it, but just certain songs I want not a whole song chip with just a few songs I like out of 1000. Does anyone know how to get itunes karaoke songs to work on the machine? I downloaded the songs and put them on the memory card but it can't find them. it will play jpeg off the memory card (and supposedly straight MP3) but is there a way to get it to play karaoke songs? do I have to change the format to something else? or is there a way to load songs onto a blank song chip?

HK Connor,
The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks in AAC format. They are not actual karaoke tracks. They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.
If you want actual karaoke tracks, go to a specialty online download store such as www.buykaraokedownloads.com .

How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks!

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!

How can I get the iTunes library artwork to sync with the actual artist for iPhone 5S?

All of mine, and my friends, iPhone 5S artwork is all over the place. One artwork is for the wrong artist, etc.... how to fix?

Hi endeavorpilates,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand your album artwork is matched to the wrong album or artist when you sync music from iTunes. If the artwork is correct in iTunes, I suggest removing all music from the iPhone 5s by syncing it off > reset the iPhone > sync the music back on. The steps for syncing music off and back on can be found in the following article.

This article explains how to reset your iPhone 5s.

How can I get my LaCie NAS to play nice with Lion?

Hi all-
I bought a LaCie 2TB NAS a couple months before upgrading to Lion. All was well when my MBP had Snow Leopard instand and the NAS was plugged into my Air Port Extreme. As many know, this came to an end with the upgrade to Lion. I contacted LaCie and they said it's Apple's fault. Not true, according to this PC Mag article - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2390376,00.asp#fbid=T9f11ODgJPm. I'm just trying to find some solution that will allow me to use this drive the way I used to use it for the 6 weeks I was able to before upgrading to Lion. I don't have experience coding and am not really looking to replace my Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule (I bought the AE earlier this year).
Any information is definetely appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry to bring you bad news but it looks like LACIE has decided too screw it's 5Big v1 customers and after several support tickets has basically given me two options.
1. go back to OSX Snow Leopard
2. buy a 5Big v2
All v1 device owners seem to be in the same boat with OSX Lion.
Way to make my 5Big v1 still under warrranty a door stop.

I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't. You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Hello there, NighHawk420.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical information on where to locate the iTunes Extras when purchased with a movie from iTunes:
About iTunes LP and iTunes Extras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
When you purchase a movie with iTunes Extras, the primary movie along with the iTunes Extras will download to your iTunes Movie folder. Mouseover the cover art and click the icon on the album to open the main menu to play the movie or view other features.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
