ITunes 7.4.2.4 is freezing any time it tries to play video (Movie, TV)

I bought an iPod Touch yesterday. I then purchases a movie, some TV shows, and a couple of videos. If I navigate to to Movie everything is fine until I try to play it or view info and then iTunes locks up and needs to be force quit. It freezes immediately if I navigate to TV Shows. It freezes if I try to play a video in the music library or try to get info on it.
Music all plays fine. iPod syncs fine, but will freeze before completely transferring any video. It got to the last few seconds of transferring Prison Break, but then froze up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Rebooting many times. Note that all of the video it is having problems with was just purchased last night from iTunes. I haven't tried anything that I've ripped myself with no DRM.
Any help is appreciated.

I am also having problems playing videos. The music will play and the video freezes. My videos have played before but after I downloaded the last one now none play. Apple says give it two weeks (2 wks so that they could explore the problem) and try to purchase again with a credit that they gave me. They were not much help. If I find a solution I will definitley post it! I don't know if upgrading to iTunes 7.5 make the difference or not.

  • ITunes locking up when trying to play videos

    Every time I try and play a movie in iTunes it locks up and freezes my computer. Any ideas why this might be happening? I have 384 mb of RAM and am using Windows XP this seems like it should be sufficiant according to apple's requirements. Please Help!

    What's the clock speed on your Vaio's processor? According to what little I can find on that model's specs, it may be only 1.13 GHz, while to play videos reliably in iTunes requires a processor speed of 1.5GHz or better.

  • 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?

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • ITunes Stops Responding When Trying To Play Video - Windows 7 64bit

    Ok, I've been getting my new Win7 box up and going. Everything is working great with the exception of iTunes.
    Setting up iTunes / Quicktime is quick and easy. After a single reboot then launching iTunes and trying to play any video results in "iTunes has stopped responding". Then it shuts down.
    If I either, re-install iTunes or Quicktime. Video works again, until I reboot. Then I end up with the same error message "iTunes has stopped responding".
    I've ran the test over and over, probably a dozen times. I re-install and all works again, until I reboot. And yes, I scanned for viruses, I've check and rechecked settings.
    Can anyone help!? I really want to move everything from my XP machine to Win7, but this one thing keeps holding me up.

    PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

    Hello all,
    I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • ITunes 10.6 crashes when trying to play video full screen

    I haven't seen this particular issue among others' comments so…
    When switching from the normal video window to full screen while watching a podcast in my iTunes library, the program immediately crashes.  I've tried several different podcast, starting with the smaller video window, then trying to expand using the opposing diagonal arrows symbol in the bottom right corner.  The result has been the same.  As soon as I click on that the window screen goes black, and iTunes shuts down.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro 4,1 using OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6 (40).
    Meanwhile, hope someone is working on the problem with the clickable scroll bars being inoperable.

  • ITunes quits when trying to play video

    I just use Migration Assistant to transfer fies to a MacBook. Now I can't play any of my videos in iTunes. Every time I try to play a video, either one that I've purchased from the iTunes store or a video podcast, it quits.
    Anybody know what the problem could be?

    Usually when you update iTunes it is best to check if there is a QT update too. It appears that when Apple updates iTunes there is some component in QT that also needs to be updated due to changes in the DRM scheme.
