Issues with screensaver after playing video in iTunes

I've recently started having an issue with my screensaver not turining itself on if i pause videos played in iTunes (fullscreen), and after escaping fullscreen view and pausing video the screensaver won't turn itself on. At all, not until I restart my iMac.
The iMac is completely up to date (OS X 10.7.2), bought mid-2011, came with Lion. I just got the iMac back from repair service, it should be working fine. Why is this happening?

My guess is that you have an Nvidia Nforce SATA controller, and are affected by a known bug in the Nvidia driver. Apple mention it briefly at the bottom of this document. HP have posted what appears to be a standard Microsoft SATA driver here to work around the problem until Nvidia releases an updated driver. Since it appears to be a standard driver, you may be able to install it on a non-HP system too.

Weird issue with loading and playing videos externally - URGENT

I have a project I'm working on where I have an FLV Playback
component on the stage, with thumbnail buttons below to create sort
of a video gallery. When the user clicks on each of these buttons,
a different FLV file will load in the FLV Playback component, which
currently works GREAT when previewing in Flash.
I'm using the following code to link the button input with
the FLV component on the stage:
btn_Audi.onRelease = function() {
videoPlayer.contentPath = "Audi.flv";
btn_Bridgestone.onRelease = function() {
videoPlayer.contentPath = "Bridgestone.flv";
However, when I go to Publish to a folder to upload to the
web, I go to click on one of the thumbnails and the video never
loads. I get the controller bar sitting there scrolling the
barber-shop style colors, but no video loads. I've checked,
re-checked, and triple-checked to make sure ALL the necessary files
are in the directory (since it seems like it's having some issue
finding or loading the video file(s)). I'm completely out of ideas
and need to know if anyone has any thoughts as to what it could be.
Oh, and should it matter that I have this videoPlayer
component "buried" inside the project, as in Scene 1 > movieClip
> movieClip > videoPlayer ? I wouldn't think it would... but
maybe?
Thank you so much in advance -
Michael

Hello Michael,
Did you ever resolve why your videos weren't loading? I'm
having exactly the same problem right now, and it's driving me
nuts. The application runs fine on my development network, but only
displays my loader bar on the live web server. I've triple-checked
everything I can think of, but everything seems fine.
Any advice or anything you might remember would sure be
appreciated.
Best,
Paul

SATA Hard Drive Goes Missing After Playing Video In iTunes, How? Why?

What in iTunes would make my 500 GB SATA drive just "disappear" from my list of drives under My Computer?
Seemed to happen after I tried playing a video back in iTunes. I thought it was Windows Vista. But, I'm not having any other problems. I don't dare plug in my ipod until I fix this. I just downloaded the lastest version of itunes since it said for Vista, but that doesn't seem to matter.
I have all the latest drivers, but I have a GeForce 8800 video card, that's not the issue is it? What else can I do here to get itunes back on track?

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

ITunes Match is on but I5 cannot access any songs. All my music in the cloud and I have no issues with my IPad playing music

Cannot play video on itunes or quiktime

I am new at all of this but i need help because i try to play video on itunes it doesnt work i try on quiktime but says error -37 i dont know what to do

Yes! Immediately after upgrading our iPhones and iPads to iOS6, they lost the capability to play back CCTV camera streams both on network and 3/4G. Our customers are experiening this issue as well.
I held back from upgrading one of my iPads and all is normal with it.
I am a Savant AV dealer and this is quite troubling especially since the issue has very little buzz.
Has anyone heard from Apple regarding a fix?
Thanks,
Phil

Sound delay while playing video in iTunes.

Dear community,
When playing video in iTunes the sound is increasingly delaying and after approximately 10 seconds it becomes almost impossible to watch the video. When you move to the other part of the video, the sound is back to normal for a short time and then becomes delayed again.
When video is playing, it is possible to hear that sound is not smooth, but has very minor breaks. The video is downloaded to the computer. I opened this video with Windows Media Player and QuickTime and it works good, but, unfortunately, it does not work correctly while playing in iTunes player.
I experience this problem on Windows 7 32-bit.
Please, help with this problem.
Sincerely,
Roma

Solved.
Found this great solution:

This is what worked for me for Windows 7 — Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > >>> Right click on your Speakers and Headphones and go to Properties > Advanced
Now… bring the quality of your sound down – I changed mine from 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) TO 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) — it works like a charm for me now! Hope this helps.

And another one, but not tested:

I am one of many that had the synch problem. I say HAD because I finally found a fix or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS. I noticed one of the sound settings in Bios was set to HD.
I had the option to change to AC97. saved the Bios and rebooted……hooray problem solved. I also noticed that unlocking cores made the symptom even worse. All is running very well with all cores unlocked and 24bit 192000Hz set on the sound card.
for information I have a ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard and
Xonar DS sound card
Hope this helps.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Black screen while playing video in itunes

I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

Green Screen when trying to play videos in iTunes.

Not sure how do describe my issue. But lately when playing videos though iTunes, they play fine for about 30 seconds and then the screen goes solid green ( http://tinyurl.com/loa5a ), but the sound continues. I've tried multiple videos from episodes of Lost that I've downloaded from the iTunes store to music videos, to video podcasts. None of them are immune to the dreaded green screen. Is this a known issue or something maybe unique to my system?

Anyone have any ideas or need more info, if so please let me know. This is very frustrating.

Yosemite issues with Airplay (audio and video stuttering)

I have two very annoying issues with Airplay after upgrading to OS Yosemite (these issues were non-existent with the OS Maverciks) -
1. Periods of Image and audio stuttering lasting approximately 20 seconds, coming on and off at regular and frequent intervals,
2. It is virtually impossible to disconnect the airplay from the Apple TV by selecting "disconnect airplay display" - one needs to restart the machine to disconnect.
The configuration I am using includes the latest release of Apple TV (with latest software), the latest Airport Extreme (with latest software) and the 2013 iMac with the latest OS - Yosemite. I would like to reiterate there was no image and video choppiness / stuttering issue with Macericks. A serach for the stuttering issue shows it was reported by other users as well (following upgrade to the official Yosemite) and was first reported by a number of users during the beta testing of Yosemite.
I would appreciate your advice how to fix the issue.

Hold down the menu and down buttons on the apple TV remote for 6 seconds. It worked for me.
I must admit to be getting a little tired of finding workarounds to Apple's glitches. I now spend hours searching the net to find out how to get their products to do what they say they will.
Remember when things just worked?

Playing videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad

I'm having issues with connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes?

Here's some information:
Apple product: iPhone 4
Computer: Windows 8 (originally) to Windows 8.1 (upgraded version)
Okay, I'm having issues with connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes. I've connected it via U.S.B. and now everything's not working right the 10th time. Am I to redownload the iTunes software once again or will I never be able to add music anymore?
