Itune video is not smooth on my computer.

How can I improve video playback on my itunes? For some reason, when im watching videos, it skips frames and jerks. Do I need to install something?

I am also having the same problem. I have performed all of the troubleshooting tips from atricle 303706 and it did not have any positive effect.
I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop running Windows XP SP2
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
512 MB RAM
Mobility Radeon 7500C Video card with 64 MB Ram
Sigmatel 9750 audio card
I have upgraded all of the drivers for the computer.
It appears that I have at least the minimum requirements for playing video thru itunes.
Is the Pentium 4 2.4 GHz right? It is 3 years old and maybe the processor required is newer than the Pentium 4.
My video card is also only Direct X 7 compatible. Maybe this is the culpret. I don't know.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

    Hey guys.
    First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
    Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
    I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
    Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

  • Itunes 11 will not install on my computer??

    Itunes 11 will not download on my computer. Itunes pop up saying it will not recognize my device unless I download latest version which I have done but still getting same pop up????

    I figured it out. Just got off the phone with support took about an hour. First I uninstalled iTunes , after doing that it did not help. Finally realized The internet search engines I was using wasn't allowing me to download. I was using Firefox  and explorer. So I downloaded google chrome. I went to iTunes.com and tried it again and then it finally asked me if I would like to run program. Finally worked. Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Video Folder-Not friendly

    Seems that iTunes videos and podcasts only works well with files that were downloaded from iTunes Music store. I would like to add videos that I already have on my computer to the Music Video Category of my library. My own video files will fit into the Movies window but not the Music Video category, but I wish that it wasnt as rigid. Any idea of how to get by this?

    I would imagine that you can set a movie clip to be either 'music video' or 'movie' as you would be able to legally own either of those anyway. For example, many cds come with a music video as a bonus. You could copy that to you iTunes library and therefore want to set it to be a 'music video'.
    The same is true for any home movies you may have made - as you would want to tell iTunes that they were movies (and therefore not music videos).
    However, I guess that as you're not officially supposed to have tv-shows floating around on the computer that Apple have decided you have no reason to need an option to tell iTunes it is a tv-show. This is perhaps a little naive of Apple, but I guess they're just playing by the rules really. Your tv-shows will work find being a 'movie', so I guess that's where they'll have to stay.

  • MPEG2 Video is not smooth in Quicktime Pro Player

    I have a MBP with Core2 2.4Ghz (2GB RAM, 250GB SATA HDD).
    I have a bunch of mpeg2 files downloaded from my Canon HV20 HiDef camcorder. When I play the files with Quicktime Pro with MPEG2 Component, the video looks very very jerky. The CPU usage is not too bad, all other applications behave OK.
    On the other hand, if I use VLC to play the same file, the video is lot smoother. CPU usage is roughly the same.
    FYI, the video is 1080i.
    Can someone suggest some solution? My problem is, I want to watch these videos from Frontrow and VLC is not a solution.
    The video plays fine in Windows XP, Vista and even in Linux in any player I tried so far.
    This is really killing me, any solution is appreciated. I definitely do not want to go back to Windows for my media.

    Quicktime does play DVDs OK. Its not as smooth as VLC, but very acceptable.
    However, my MPEG2 video files are Hi-definition files from Hi-definition camcorder. These are 1080i (1920x1080 interlaced) files.
    These files play perfectly smoothly on the same Mac when I use VLC player.
    When I use Quicktime player, they are very jerky. Its hard to quantify how jerky it is, but just a naked eye guess would be 2 frames out of 5 are vanishing. Sound is smooth though, no hiccups in sound.
    I hope that describes my problem better.

  • ITunes videos will not play

    Ever since I've updated to the newer iTunes version, my videos will not play correctly. Any video I bought on iTunes will not work. Also any video previews or trailers from iTunes will not work. Any other video from online or ones that I've recorded work normally. When I try to play a video, this is what it looks like:
    The picture does not show, but the audio plays perfectly. Quicktime and every other software is updated. I've tried to find the answer on the forums but couldn't find one similar to my problem. Also, I cannot contact any apple support by phone because I'm currently living in China and this or e-mail is the most conveinent.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    K.

    Hi Oicrylic,
    If you are still having video playback issues in iTunes, you may want to try the following user isolation troubleshooting to see if the issue can be localized to either a user or a system level cause.

  • My ipad3  plays 720P video quite not smoothly,can you help me?

    Hello,I am a user from China,.
    Though my English is poor,I still hope to get help from yours.
    Thank you very much!
    I have a ipad3(new ipad).I bought it just 3months ago.
    I used the app(moliplayer HD for ipad) to play a video yesterday,a cartoon of Brave,which is 720P's mkv.
    The cartoon is this one below ,I'm not sure whether this kind of video is hard to play.
    And the video was played quite not smoothly,even I can't go on watching the video,which made me fidgety.
    Then,I seach some information about this online,and I found there are a lot of users who met this problem,and they used different apps to play 720P-video.
    I just want to know why?
    In my imaging,ipad is so good to offer an amazing performence.
    But why it even can not play a 720P-video well.
    Is there somewhere I wrongly set up?
    Or,I used a wrong APP? By the way,I still don't know how to use the app which came with ipad,to play this video.
    Please tell me ,Thanks!
    李璟

    That really depends on file format.
    MKV is a container for many different video compression formats. Some of them are more complicated and require more processing power than others.
    It's possible that format used is one that iPad hardware can't cope with, which is why it is not running smoothly. I would suggest converting this file into something supported by iPad
    from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG‑4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • Itunes 11 will not open on my computer. It worked before I restarted it but doesn't work anymore.

  • Itunes videos will not play on Itouch-- HELP!! (please)

    I recently purchased an Itouch, (& I love it!!-for the most part) I just have one issue... none of the videos I purchased in the Itunes store will play on it! They will transfer without issue, but when I try to play it on my Itouch I get this message: "This movie could not be played". So my tv shows, music videos, AND movies will not play! (note: all were purchased/ downloaded from the itunes store). [They will play on my old Ipod mini tho...)
    I have spent two days perusing Apple support and all over the internet looking for a fix... nothing is working. I have the latest edition of itunes and everything. I have reset my Itouch, taken everything off and put it back on. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes... I have also done all of the trouble shooting steps... like the downloading of the sample video...
    One message board told me that I could go to Advanced> Create Iphone or Itouch version & that should do the trick... nope. It's not even an option for me... and since I don't have QuickTime PRO it won't let me convert and export my videos either.
    I am rather distressed about this, so I really hope you can help me.
    Thanks!

    I don't understand what your iPod model has to do with your version of iTunes...
    ... this option is in the iTunes' Advanced menu... if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, it would be right there... only grayed out if you don't have a video file selected.

  • The "converted by iTunes" Video Podcasts not appearing on the iPod

    Greetings,
    I have downloaded some (old) video podcasts from the Music Store. As they were old files; I realised that they were not suitable for the iPod 5G, while trying to sync to the iPod. Then I converted them by using iTunes itself via 'convert selection for iPod' function.
    Then, as it's a known case, an error message appeared on iTunes that not all the files were transferred to iPod, blah blah. (Because the unsuitable files will also remain on the iTunes, as well as the converted ones.)
    So to get rid of that error message, I have chosen to delete those old and unsuitable files which I would not need anymore.
    When I update my iPod, everything seems to be ok, no more warnings on the screen, etc - but the problem is that those converted 'suitable' files do not appear neither on the Video Podcasts folder, nor in another video folder on the iPod. But they are on the iTunes, within the right folder (videos -> podcasts), together with a newly published Video Podcast of the same series - which is the only one appearing on the iPod.
    Is the only chance to view them changing their folders from 'podcasts' to e.g. 'movies' folder? Or is it just another bug of iPod G5 which really starts to disappoint me these days?
    Does anybody experience a situation like this?
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    »iMac G5|rev.B 2.0ghz 1.5gb-ram   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   »iPod shuffle|512mb »The iPod|5G 60gb software1.1(regret)

    Reconverting the files normaly changes the original podcast meta-data. Download and use a meta-data modifier utility (like Lostify) to reinsert the proper tags.

  • I just got a new Ipod and had to update my Itunes to a newer version to use it. But now Itunes app will not open on my computer. What do I do?

    I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
