IMovie, some photos on timeline will not play in preview window

There are a bunch of photos on the timeline that will not play in preview window.
I've tried all the tricks that were suggested in other posts. (moving photo to the desktop and then reimporting, etc)
several hours have been lost on this problem.
IOS 10.7.5
iMovie '11 rev. 9.0.9

I think it's a bug. It happens to me as well. You have to switch between windows, refreshing it.

Video freezes at transition point and preview freezes up

Hello Billsfairy
Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are having issues with iMovie on your iPad 2. If you have not already tried to do so, does restarting or resetting the iPad help the issue?:

You may also want to close and reopen the iMovie application:

DVD will not play on a Windows machine

I authored a project that is a simple looping movie. I has not interface, I just set the .mov to start playing and continually loop. It plays fine on my MAC but will not play on a windows machine from a DVD. The files included on it are all .bup .ifo, and .evo files. This is unusual because typically all the DVD burned .vob files to a DVD. Is there some setting I am missing when burning the dvd?

Wellcome to the forum!
What software are you using to play the DVD? If you make a little search in this forum you'll find a lot of threads about problems with DVDs running under Windows Media Player.
You can download free VLC Player to test your disks in Windows.
How did you burned the disc? If you want to be sure you are burning the right disc format anf the right files, make a Image file from DVDSP and burn it with Toast or Disk Utility. Take a look at this link for Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site).
Hope it helps!

TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

Some videos on YouTube will not play

As of a few days ago some of the videos on YouTube will not play I tried IE(I stopped using after it ask for an update) ,but then I had to use google chome and I hate it, but the videos played. Its not every video, and some times it's the same video I just played not to long ago. I fear that soon I might not be able to view most videos on YouTube. I cleared my cache, made sure everything it up-to-date, although Silverlight-plugin will not update, no matter what I try to do( I hope that is not the reason, because Silverlight won't up-date.) I'm am not sure when this problem first arose, at first I though it was Google/YouTube having issues, but it seems like Google's browser works fine on the videos that do not play on Firefox. What can I do, I need Firefox to work, I can't bare to move to another browser.

A few other thoughts:
(1) For a video where this happens, does the problem persist if you try reloading a few times using Ctrl+Shift+r?
(2) Is there any difference in how you connect to Youtube between your browsers? You can check Firefox's connection setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings" but you also could try "No proxy".
(3) Have you received any SSL-related errors, such as pages reporting a certificate problem and requiring you to make an exception, or missing styles or functionality on secure sites?
(4) If you opted in to the html5 player, is there a pattern of the problem videos being in one format or the other (HTML5 player vs. Flash player)? https://www.youtube.com/html5

Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this. This problem has been happening for around a week now. At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play. When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

Hey brewmaster1967,
Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

Using ITunes Tutorials will not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

I installed the new itunes 11.0.4 on windows and now some of my movies will not play

Some of my movies will play in itunes, but some of them make it crash and I have played them previously in other versions of Itunes. Is anyone else having the same trouble? Also, it is putting some of my movies in the home video file and not the movie files. Any suggestions on that? thanks

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Some photos in iPhoto will not sync/copy to iPhone

I have an album in iPhoto that contains photos that will not transfer to the iPhone. There is no indication from phone or iTunes that there is/was any problem during the sync. I have tried the following:
Create new and different album with those pictures and resync
Create new album with 1 of the offending pictures, but even a single picture will not move to the phone
This problem has existed through several iOS, iTunes, and iPhoto transitions, including latest for each
iPhone has been wiped and completely restored
iPhone has been DFU reset (for a different problem)
Any help is appreciated

I seem to have figured this out, finally. I did the following:
Removed the pictures from iPhoto completely
Reimported them into iPhoto
Now the sync seems to work.
No idea why

PrEl 8 slow and clips will not play in monitor window.

This is very dissapointing. I have been using PrEl 3 up till now and have been really happy with it. I decided to give V8 a whirl. First off, I am not happy with the way the whole interface has been dumbed down from 4.0 onwards. 3 seems to have more manual controls easily accessible and seems more professional. Still, it is what it is. I am bothered by the fact that this is unusable on my machine. I have tried full size avi clips from an SD camera and I have tried little bits of wmv's and phone clips. Nothing will run. It loads into the media bin, drags onto the timeline, creates the peak file as usual but when I hit spacebar to play the clip the asudio works but the video does not. It juts shows a static image of wherever the plaay head was when I hit start. If I then stop the playback and click on the timeline it goes to that spot. Now, I can grab the play head and scrub back and forth on the timeline but it just willnot play in the monitor.
I have tried running 3 and 8 side by side on each screen with the same clip in each. 3 is perfect - 8 will not work.
specs:
XP Pro 32 bit SP3
Dual Xeon 3.2 533
4gb ram
2 x 1tb Samsung hard drives.
Matrox P650 graphics
Now, later this year I will be building a new i7 rig, and it may well ne that this will run the program with no problems. But it SHOULD run on what I have right? Its old certainly but still none too shabby.

Thanks for looking in. I have tried using clips direct from my camera which is a Canon MVX3i and the same thing happens. I know that Elements is made specifically for editing videos made on camcorders but I must say that in version 3 I have been able to drag just about any kind of video file onto the timeline and edit and output it with no problem
So yes, we are talking about standard SD DV-AVI files here.
Project preset is PAL SD 4:3 as it should be.
My video card is rumming latst drivers and BIOS although its an old card.
Quicktime - yes, have latest version.
I have version 3.02 installed still and it runs perfectly.
"Have you right clicked the Monitor and selected Playback Settings to see what setting are checked there?"
External device: DV 25 720 x 576i
Aspect ratio conversion - hardware
Export device: DV 25 720 x 576i
both boxes ticked - this is the default setting and should work.
Okay - update on this: if I select External device: none then it works.
Also if I select External device: Monitor 2 60 1600 x 1200 it also works, and plays back on my secondary monitor which is very cool. But if I select DV 25 720 x 576i then it does not, although this is the setting I have on my 3.02 version as default.

Copied my iTunes music from my Windows 7 computer to my Windows 8 computer and my MP3 songs will not play on my Windows 8 computer?

How to get iTunes to play my MP3 files in Windows 8. They played in Windows7.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Some photos (iPhoto '08 will not import to iMovie '08

I am creating a photo slideshow in iMovie '08 using my photos (iPhoto '08). Occasionally a photo refuses to be imported (drag and drop) no matter how I crop or edit it. Nor will they go into an album. I don't encounter this problem with hundreds of other photos, only 4 or 5 which are otherwise no different. Should I try to re-scan these troublesome photos to resolve this?

thank you so much for the suggestion. I have yet to try it but will respond again when I do. AppleCare also recommended re-scanning the few photos in question (at least so far). Have not had time to try either but will respond either way when I do.
