How do I get iTunes 10 to play movie files as their actual size?

In iTunes (10), I have several iTunes purchases/rentals as well as movie files I've created on my own and converted into .mp4 format. My problem is that I really would like to play these files as their actual size, but can't seem to get iTunes to cooperate. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this and I've tried the quick-keyboard command (command-1), but without luck for both the iTunes official files (m4v) and the .mp4s. Any help is very appreciated.

Or you can set iTunes to always open movies in their own window.

iTunes 10.5 (on 10.6.8) doesn't have a "playback in separate window" option.
Fortunately, the effectively hidden right-click "Playback Video in Separate Window" option is still available, and this choice holds for future videos.
I can keep my iTunes window on my left monitor and playback videos on my larger, widescreen middle monitor.

How do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

If I want to use iTunes to catalog FLAC files (but NOT play them...as I use my logitech Squeezebox fior that) how do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

As polydorus notes, iTunes has the huge shortcoming of not handling FLAC.
There are plugins that allow iTunes to play FLAC, but everything I've seen says they are problematic.
A much better approach is to get a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch and convert the FLAC files to an iTunes-compatible format such as AAC or AIFF.
Put the converted files in your iTunes library, and keep the original FLACs on hand for when you are using a more capable player.

How on can get the plaback of .mov files with Redcode Codecs?

Hi folks,
I am not able to play the .mov files created by Red camera so..
how one can get the playback of .mov files with Redcode Codecs?

Well, one typically doesn't edit with any of the proxy-files the RED camera produces. You need to convert the RED footage to ProRes. Log and Transfer can do this, if you download and install the RED Log and Transfer plugin. Or you might need to use RED software to convert the footage to ProRes. But those Red proxy files won't import via log and transfer, and are NOT editable in FCP. Gotta convert to ProRes.

How do I get iTunes to play more than one song at a time on my PC?

I have selected all in a playlist, then click the play button. It plays only the first song in the playlist. How do I get it to play all of those selected?

My iTunes is doing the same thing: when I select a playlist and hit "play," if shuffle is turned on, iTunes plays only one song and then stops. If shuffle is turned off, it plays just fine (one song after another, in order).
Select the songs, right click - get info.
Select the Options tab and Uncheck *Skip when shuffling*.
Also, when I hit shuffle, it doesn't rearrange the songs in the playlist like it's supposed to.
If you are sorting on any column besides the very first on before the track name, the songs will stay displayed in that same sort order.
When you play the playlist, the list will jump around and be shuffled.
If you are sorting on the very first column, the list will be displayed in the shuffled order and play in that order.

How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

My music files are "missing". How do I get itunes to locate the files without identifying each music folder (files are in separate folders under torrent data and I don't want to open each one of them individually)

Just like the title... Music files are missing and I don't want to locate each folder individually, how do I get itunes to locate all of the music without taking each music file out from the album folders they're in?

Hi,
The article below will explain in general how your iTunes files are organized on your computer.

How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

How do I get itunes library to move to external hard drive automatically?

I have a 250 GB Verbatim external hard drive. This hard drive has an existing itunes library from my PC. I figured out how to combine the two itunes libraries, (1 from PC and 1 from Macbook). I cannot figure out how to set up itunes to automatically save to external hard drive. In other words, I've gotten everything onto my Mac, but not onto the external, which is what I want. When I try to move the itunes folders to my Verbatim in Finder, it gives me the circle with the line through it. It will not let me move anything over to the Verbatim. Please help!

On the copying issue, if the drive was used with a PC initially it is quite possible it is formatted to NTFS. Macs can read NTFS drives but not write to them You could try to use a utility such as NTFS-3G to enable read-write, or you could use Disk Utility to reformat the drive to FAT (probably FAT32) which can be read by both PCs and Macs. FAT has certain disadvantages too, such as not being repairable by Macs, and there is a limit on single file sizes (2GB or 4GB depending upon the FAT version).
Once you get your whole iTunes folder (not just media) onto the external drive, start iTunes with the option key held down and show it the new location.

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with just storing media on another drive:

HOW CAN i GET ItUNES TO PLAY MY TUNES?

i AM UNAB;E TPO PLAY MY MUSIC FILES ON ItUNES. I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes app with no change. The ap appears to load but doesnot play.What can I do to get it to play?

I have a similar problem. Bought an external drive to store music and pictures, followed the instructions on several threads here on how to transfer these from my D drive (the back up drive on the computer itself) to the L drive (the Buffalo Linkstation); changed the location of the library to the correct address where all the music files are (I can see them there) having consolidated them there. It could not find any of them unless I individually located them (there are over 9000 tracks so I have not got time to do that). I changed the location back to the original and it found them again. Next I tried following the thread on the .itl file - using shift and selecting the library on the L drive, but it only found 300 tracks, some bought, some transferred, some full albums, some only part of the album, an apparently random selection. I tried going back to the original .itl file and the same happened - it only found the same small selection of tracks. I know the files are still there - I can see them, but I have no idea how to connect itunes to them. Please help!

How can I get iTunes to play more than one song before stopping?

When I click on a song listed in iTunes, iTunes plays it and then stops. How can I get it to continue and play the next song, and then the next..
Thanks

I just found the answer. iTunes will play consecutively the songs that are checked, if Controls --> Repeat Off is checked. When I asked the question I had unchecked all songs.

How do I get itunes to play the local file instead of streaming it?

I have my iTunes Library on an external FW800 drive. Recently I didn't realize the drive was not attached and tried to play a song. iTunes couldn't find the file and started streaming it from iTunes Match. I've since reattached the drive, but iTunes won't recognize the local file.
Is there a way to get iTunes to recognize the existing local file or is my only option to redownload the file and delete the old one?

Hi,
Close Itunes and then hold option key whilst launching Itunes. Select choose library from pop and select the library on your external drive.

How do you get itunes to play on a Dell PDA?

Is there any program needed to be installed on a PDA to get it to play itunes. I can get them to the PDA but it will not open or play any of the songs. HELP PLEASE!!!!

You'll need to burn the songs to audio CD, then rip into a format that your PDA will play. There is no iTunes player available for PDAs, so you'll need to 'jump through hoops' to get it to work. THe GOOD thing is, you'll have a backup made of your iTunes purchases!
