Itune music videos display no images but flashing vivid coloured background

Having upgraded to itunes 7.1 sometime ago I cannot see me existing music videos or even new ones that I purchase. The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok. Whats the problem, dvd's I play are OK

(Sorry about barging in, Timmy.)
+The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok.+
With those symptoms, especially if the colors are pink, purple or green, the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document is worth a try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows XP and 2000 video playback performance issues
But by all means, if there are newer video drivers available for your video card or display adaptor then it's worth upgrading them (as Timmy suggests) to see if you can still get good video with the Direct3D acceleration enabled.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

ITunes Music Videos Skipping in Windows 8.1

About three iTunes updates ago, I began to have chronic problems with my iTunes music videos crashing on both of my Windows XP computers. I stopped purchasing altogether. I just bought a new computer with Windows 8.1. The iTunes videos play, but the quality is not great. I can hear little skips in almost every video, like an old vinyl LP with a few scratches. The same videos play beautifully on my iPod, and I've played music DVDs on my new computer with good results. I am so disappointed that this new computer didn't completely resolve this problem with iTunes videos. Any ideas without a lot of hoop jumping?

Replying to my own post to add that it is not just the sound that skips, but the picture. It seems very random.

My itune music videos will not play through my soundlink air

Why do my itune music videos not play through my Bose Soundlink Air? My downloaded music plays fine. Also my music videos play through my iTouch its just through my Mac computer they won't.

I have had a almost identical problem but with windows 8 and with the internal speakers because i am using a laptop

Itunes music video rotation

Ever since we got the ISO 7 and up update. I haven't been able to rotate my ITunes Music Videos. Is there a way to fix it or do we have to wait till there is a software fix coming up? I didn't buy music videos on ITunes to see them in a small format, and if I rotate I get a collage of album covers that is not as user friendly as the last swipe mode it use to have. Please don't confuse this with the rotation lock on the phone, that works fine. This has only to do with the ITunes Music Videos on the IPhone. Thank you.

I haven't seen anyone be able to use iTunes videos in a Keynote presentation. Not sure if the problem is on the QuickTime side or on the Keynote side (Keynote hasn't been updated in awhile but QuickTime's been updated several times).

HT1349 what is the quickest way to move all my iTunes music, video, etc. to a new computer? any help would be appreciated. thanks. p.s. i purchased a belkin transfer cable - will that work?

p.s. i purchased a belkin transfer cable - will that work? i have an iPod Touch.

You copy it from one computer to the other.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You have posted in the iphone forum.

On my older Nano my iTunes music library shows 28 GB but I only have a fraction selected for download (maybe 2 GB total).. what gives?

Update OS X also. To learn how to do that read OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
Rid your Mac of the adware that is installed. To do that with Safari, go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. Uninstall any Extensions that appear unless you know their purpose and are certain you need. To learn how adware may have come to be installed on your Mac, read How to install adware.

Airplay only streaming audio portion from iTunes music videos

ip5, ipad2 & 3 all current f/w & Apple TV2 :
Just all working correctly a little over a month or so ago. Now, can only get audio portion from music videos when Itunes Match is turned ON. Downloading music videos to local device & turning off Match on said device allows for proper a/v playback. Other: going into itunes/purchases and clicking on any purchased video will properly play to ATV2. Videos played via safari, youtube, other apps, also play just fine.
I've rest all devices, including router, nothing. Also restored AV2 & ipad3 just to make sure that the most recent firmware update to all devices was not the cause; result still the same. Friend attempted to play a music video they had on their iphone4/ipad2 and they too couldn't play a purchased iTunes Music Video properly.
Airplay is turned on on all devices.
Do people think this is a bug in the backend of Match or other? any help would be great, thank you.

What you want to do is, unfortunately, not possible. If you want to listen to just the audio for those songs you'll have to buy the audio tracks.
Regards,
Michael

My itunes music library displays ping

why does my itunes music library display ping dialog instead of content

I see, I was not quite clear:
When I wrote:
Then select your songs, that are currently in a different folder, ctrl-click the selection, and from the contextual menu select "Consolidate Files":
I was refererring to selecting the songs in iTunes, not in the Finder: Go to the "Songs" view in iTunes and select the songs you want consolidated, or a playlist containg all albums. It does not matter, if it contains also songs, that do not need consolidating. iTunes will simply skip these songs, if they are already in the correct location.
If you have many files to consolidate, it might be quicker to use the command "File > Library > Consolidate ..." from iTunes main menu bar instead:

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

ITunes Music Video. Sound but no video

Today I updated to OS X 10.7 Lion and have also installed iTunes 10.4.
Now I have a problem playing music videos, they play but I get sound only and no video.
How do I get the video stream to run as well?
Thanks

Posting this question bought up the solution from another thread, "deselect the airplay speakers". I did this now it works fine.
I would have expected iTunes to give a warning. Ah well...

Music Video displays wrong ARTWORK. Displays a POSTER FRAME rather than the JPG that I have given it.

I am using ITunes 11.05.5 on Windows 7 Professional.   Have thousands of videos ... MP4 Music Videos.   I make my own "ARTWORK" (on JPG per artist for all music videos by that artist). I place the artwork in the file by "GET INFO", "ARTWORK", copy in my own JPG Image.    I confirm that there is only one image in the ARTWORK and that it is the correct image.   When I save and go back to the GET INFO everthing is fine.   When I view it in MS Explorer or in ID3-TAG the ARTWORK is also fine.   This process works fine for most everything but unexplainably fails and I can't fix it on certain occasions.
THE FAILURE:    Let me explain the problem that occurs on rare occasions (and once it occurs I can't ever fix it).   Lets say I have 5 music videos from the artist, John Jones.    I embed my own artwork (the same ARTWORK for all music videos from this same artist, John Jones) and all five videos group under the proper. same ARTWORK in the GRID VIEW.   Now, I obtain another music video from John Jones, once again I put the same ARTWORK on this file and now when I go into GRID VIEW it displays a POSTER FRAME (of that artist, John Jones) that I have never seen (although it must have come from the video since it is a POSTER FRAME of John Jones) ..... from that point on, all six music videos from John Jones also display that same ARTWORK (the wrong poster frame - but same poster frame for all John Jones music videos) even tho the first five were displaying properly before (but not longer).     It is as if a POSTER FRAME of John Jones is in cache and associated with the artist John Jones and can not be deleted.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes, but it doesn't work.    I have tried deleting the new Music Video that I added and that started the problem (number six); hoping the the original five would return to nomal ... but that does not work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Video displays duplicate image horizontally

Have an interactive exhibit running on Air Run Time on Windows XP. When video runs inside the player window, the video is essentially duplicated horizontally so the image is squashed and plays two instances of the video top and bottom. Plays fine on the Mac. Also, running the SWF file in Flash Player does not exhibit the same problem. But running on Air on this XP machine displays doubled image. What can be causing this?

Here is a shapshot of the "doubled" video on the right. The touchscreen is on the left.
