ITunes 10.2.1.1 (64 bit) freezes/hangs sometimes after playing videos

On a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit on Basecamp, using iTunes 64 bit. iTunes will sometimes just hang when a video or video podcast finishes. I have to kill iTunes and restart it. There is a thread about this at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12606470&#12606470
But it was ignored and archived.
Note the same thing was also happening on my Dell XPS Laptop with Windows 7 64-bit.

Same thing is happening to me also.
this new itunes doesnt seem windows 7 x64 bit happy.
i am also experiencing itunes freezing when clicking on podcasts on the left sidebar.
i tried installing sp1 for windows 7 but didnt fix it.

  • Freezes after playing video playlist

    My 60G freezes after playing my video playlist. I have to wait until the battery runs down then plug it in to reboot it for it to work again. I took it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, and they installed the latest update. They claimed this would fix the problem. Wrong! Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
    If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing.  However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

  • Computer completely freezes when trying to play video

    When I double-click on the thumbnail of a video to play it, the computer completely freezes, and sometimes the display will get corrupted with noise. I tried exporting a video file to disk, then opening it with Quicktime instead of iPhoto, and the same thing happens. I have cross-posted this question to the Quicktime forum also but I see more people talking about this problem here in iPhoto.

    I have since posting this question looked at the OS X Console, and have seen these errors, which sound correlated to my problem of playing video from a variety of cameras, including iPHone 4. I also tested playback on my newer Mac laptop and have no trouble at all.

  • Ipod 5gen freezes when trying to play video

    My son has a 5th gen 60gb ipod that freezes as soon as he tries to play video on it. This started happening after he installed the latest firmware upgrade. We have deleted the videos, tried reinstalling the latest firmware, reinstalled any number of converted videos, and every time we try it, it freezes up solid. We end up having to use the standard "menu-center button" restart procedure to unfreeze it. Any ideas how to get it to play videos with out completely wiping his ipod clean and starting over with everything?

    My problem is similar. My 80G freezes playing video that I converted. These videos used to play just fine. This all started after an upgrade in Dec 07 I think. I have an iphone and the videos play fine and we kjust purchased a 160G and all the videos play perfectly. A huge bummer with the 160G though is that most of the accessories we purchased for the 5th gen don't work with the new classics (ie: Phillips portable DVD/ipod player) - Why did Apple do that?

  • Iphoto 8 freezes/hangs right after I launch the application.

    Every time I try and launch iphoto 8 the application freezes/hangs.
    When a slide the arrow pointer anywhere on the iphoto8 screen the multi colored timer ball spins continuously and then I have to force quit the application.
    Why is it doing this and what do I have to do to fix.
    I'm using Leopard, however it also acted up while running Tiger
    please help
    thanks.

    The Preference files (.plist, in your Home/ Library / Preferences folder) record User choices for every app. This will include such things as the default font, or the colour of the background, even the place of the window on the screen.
    When you launch an app it looks to this file to configure itself to your choices. If there's a problem - minor corruption for instance - then it can't complete launching.
    One of the basic troubleshooting steps on any app is to trash the plist file. It forces the app to recreate it - which it does using the default settings.
    How to prevent it occurring? Avoid crashes, force quits, minor disk corruption... But sometimes things just happen.

  • 10.5.2 iTunes on Windows 7 x64 bit laptop - Quick Time will play videos but not iTunes

    I'm hoping you can help, I've looked for a solution to this for a while now.
    I store my itunes library on an external hard drive. I completed a clean install of x64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop - all went perfectly. Downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of 10.5.2 iTunes and located my library...the music plays fine but no videos. I opened iTunes in safe mode and it said that I needed the up to date version of Quick Time. Downloaded and installed that...no problems. Now my vidoes will play in the Quick Player but still not in iTunes! They apprear in the "Now Playing" pane but the timer doesn't move - even after pressing pause and play. Can anyone help me please? Do I need to open iTunes in 32 bit mode? If so, how do I do that in Windows 7? i can only find solutions for Mac's....
    Thanks in advance

    I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

  • Windows 7, 32 bit freezes at startup after installation with bootcamp

    Hey.
    I really hope anyone can help. I have just recieved my new Macbook Pro and I would like to install windows 7 on it. Using the guide to Bootcamp everything went well and I got in to windows. But after installation of the needed drivers from the Leopard CD I needed to restart and now I cant do anything (it freezes after typing my password or sometimes even before) - I have to shut it down.
    Everything is fully updated (Mac OS X 10.6.3).
    I have tried to remove Windows again and installed it once again, this time i got into Windows, but I then had the same error after updating windows - even without using the Leopard update files.
    Anyone know what to do?

    have one more question for you...
    In another environment, where everything went fine, i see green diagnostic report.
    while starting admin server it gives me
    \Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip was unexpected at this time.
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem>so still it is not installed completely!!

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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?

  • Machine freezes when trying to play video

    When I visit certain sites with what appears to be AVI files embedded my entire machine frezes up and I can't even to a Force Quit.
    I see the Quicktime logo faded with a ? on it - and the video is not playing..?!
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how this can me fixed?
    (I have the Flip4mac player installed and QT Pro 7.1.3 as well as VLC - but no VLC plugin in Library/Internet Plugins)
    Example of a video causing the problem:
    http://gossipish.com/media/wwwgossipish_com_whitneylipsync.avi

    No list that I know of. It's basically "install as needed".
    There are dozens of third party components and many times they conflict with one another. Out of date codecs that failed to get removed can also cause problems.
    Moving the third party ones out (quit browser between tests) and dragging them back in one at a time may show the problem.

  • Why does quiktime freeze when i try to play video?

    I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp pro...before i had no problem with itunes or quicktime...but now whenever i try to play video through itunes it will freeze and i have to ctrlaltdelete and then cancel...then itunes will close down...when i try to open a video through quicktime the program freezes so i do the ctrlaltdelete then cancel and this time quicktime will play audio but no video...PLEASE HELP!!! i am going crazy, all drivers are installed and updated, i tried to repair and reinstall itunes and quicktime with no success

    I would take a look at the video card driver. The lastest driver for a video card doesn't always mean it is going to be the best one for it or even work without causing problems.
    Example, recently when going to microsoft's OS updates, there were a few updates needed, most security related, one was for the secondary monitor's video card. Well after they were installed, the computer would keep re-starting on its own.
    Well the last change made was updating the video card driver. So I rolled it back in Device Manager, and that solved the problem. This is why I think it is foolish to have a windows computer setup to automatically update.
    The problem your having is difficult to diagnose, more than likely a driver issue. It is not QT because that is only a program.
    Hardware not configured properly will definately cause a freeze when playing mulimedia. Mostly if the jumpers are not setup correctly with master/slave for drives and in the BIOS.
    Why was the OS XP pro reinstalled?

  • Windows 7 64-bit hangs completely after some minut...

    Hi all,
    My Windows 7 64-bit machine hangs completely after some minutes using Nokia Suite 3.3.89 connected with a E72 through USB cable.
    When connecting, everything goes fine and I can usually synchronize data successfully between the E72 and computer. I can also connect to Internet successfully through the E72 modem.
    However, after some minutes (usually 4-5), the computer hangs completely, with the screen frozen and beign completely irresponsive to any mouse or key input.
    The only way to unlock it is to press the computer On/Off key and restart it completely.
    Has anybody experienced this issue?
    Thanks

    Hi Roberto,
              I too faced the same problem and I too use Windows 7 X64 bit, when ever i open Nokia Suite and maximize it, my screen turns completely Grey/White and nothing works including ctrl+alt+del and I would need to force reboot using the reset button this is really frustrating! I have already checked the display drivers, updated drivers but again same issue and I reinstalled nokia suite as per your suggestion in the above thread but no use  please suggest a permanent solution for this!
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Installed iTunes 11.0.4.4 64-bit but window 8 pro 64-bit in task manager reports that iTunes is 32-bit.  Why?  Not running in compatibility mode.  Uninstalled and reinstalled.  Same result.

    Installed iTunes 11.0.4.4 64-bit version.  Now windows 8 pro 64-bit reports iTunes as 32-bit in task manager.  Why?  Both my computer and operating system are 64-bit.  ITunes is not running in compatibility mode.  All my music files are MP3.  I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded iTunes64setup.exe from apple and still having the same result.  This was a clean install by-the-way.

  • Is itunes compatible with windows 7 64-bit

    Is iTunes cmpatible with Windows 7 64-bit?  I just had to get new computer and got rid of Vista.

    Apple has JUST RELEASED a version of iTunes that is compatible with Win7 64 bit!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Go to Apple.com, select download for iTunes, When you select the Win OS you'll see a message in tiny blue print that there's a special download for Win7 64, click on that, then download.  I had to disable the Windows Firewall to get the download.  I run AVG as my protection system.
    I have Win7 64 and have been having compatibility problems for the past few weeks after recent automatic Win7 updates and the iTunes 10 upgrade.  I am still having freeze problems but not as bad.
