ITunes 8.1 disabled music videos

My music videos stopped playing on screen after the latest upgrade. They can now only play as audio tracks but there is no video playback. However, when I change Media Kind from Music Video to Movie they play back as expected - both video and audio.
This is not a terrible difficulty but I'd like to keep them separately from the rest of the movie library. Does anyone know how to resolve this little problem? iTunes 8.1 works quite well on a PPC G5, it is only my Mac Mini that has complications. In trying to repair the application I completely removed it from the system and reinstalled, repaired permissions. The problem persists.
Thank you.

OK, I discovered the same problem and thanks for the heads-up regarding the AirPort speakers.
I remember being annoyed that I could not have video sound coming out of the AirPort speakers in the back yard while having the video and sound in the lounge room. This is great if you're having a party and people are inside and out.
So now I can have audio in both places but no video.
I wonder if it's related to the original "feature" where you could not have sound on the AirPort speakers, so the compromise is sound everywhere but no video? Surely not?

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification

    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

    Hey guys, here's my problem.
    I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
    Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
    I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
    I'm lost. Any help?

    Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
    Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
    Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.

  • Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

    Hello, iBillyxD. 
    Thank you for the question.  The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library.  You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases.  To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.

  • ITunes won't sync music video to my iPhone 3G

    I purchased a music video from the iTunes store and it won't sync to my iPhone. What gives?

    One thing that might help out.
    When your iphone is connected, on the summary screen, is the iphone set to sync automatically?
    If not, you might need to drag and drop your music videos to the iphone.
    If it is set to sync automatically, then go to the music tab and make sure the box is checked to sync music videos.
    If it is, try right clicking(control click) on the iphone on the left of itunes under devices and reset warnings.
    Now try to sync again and see if any error messages come up.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes not playing some music videos

    My iTunes (ver. 10.1) will play the audio for some music videos but not the video. They are videos that were downloaded via the iTunes Store in the past and all but 2 are doing this and they are all the same format. No, I'm not using AirTunes! And I haven't exceeded my "authorizations" limit. I'm just trying to play the videos on my laptop with regular speakers. TV Shows and short films that I have work fine, and so do some videos that I got from outside of the Store. I tried opening them in Quicktime and it does the exact same thing, audio but no video. I tried repairing permissions and nothing changed. I even went back into my Time Machine and when I did that the files wouldn't work from there either, even though I know they worked a year ago! At first, it showed the file thumbnail, but when I clicked on it the thumbnail went gray. Any ideas what the heck is going on here???

    Alright! Looks like the latest update to iTunes actually fixed my problem!
    I noticed in the update notes that it was supposed to address certain problems with the graphics card (Nvidia 9400 and 9600) not playing certain video files correctly. I thought it was worth a try, so after I updated I played the videos that previously were not working and voila! They work now!
    For those of you who had a similar problem I would try it with the iTunes 10.1.1 (4) update and see if they work. Otherwise, I guess you've got a different problem. Good luck!

  • ITunes won't play music/ videos on Windows 8 Pro

    iTunes worked on Windows 7 Pro. I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, and now it won't play any music or videos.

  • ITunes having issues with music videos

    I recently bought an album with some music videos in it and iTunes is having some issues playing them correctly. The audio is not in sync with the video. Seconly, the audio does not sound correct, it is making a skipping sound as if the audio is from a CD that has a scratch on it.
    I know that this issue is with how iTunes is playing it back, because when I play it in another video program it works fine.
    Just in case it will help, I am running iTunes 11.1.3.8

    Are the videos the right kind of files to play in itunes?  If not they need to be converted.
    Not sure if I am allowed to mention the software needed to convert so you may have to use google to find that.

  • ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

    This is a specific user account issue.  If I create a new account I do not have this issue.  That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
    Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine. 
    If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device).  It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac.  I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
    When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
    When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
    If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
    If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine. 
    If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
    Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.  
    The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it. 
    I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue. 
    It's maddening! 
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
    Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
    Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
    There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
    I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it.  This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before.  Select the AppleTV is silently ignored. 
    Highly frustrating.  I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values.  No human discernable difference between the working and not working files.  At this point I defintely want to file a bug report. 

  • I have iTunes and am downloading Music videos from YouTube for use on my iPad! They play great on my iPad, But when I play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire machine gun??? Can anybody help me

    I have iTunes and I am downloading Music Videos from YouYube to be used on my iPad! After I download them using YTD Video downloader they play great on my iPad... However when I try to play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire Machine Gun! Can anybody help???

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • Itunes no longer plays music videos on iMac 27inch

    When I click on a music video to play the music plays but the video does not.  This never used to be the case.  Has anybody seen this happen.  TV programmes and normal movies play fine.. 
    I found the answer minutes after posting the question !  Seems you cannot have a remote set of speakers selected when playing music videos.  Somebody had already answered previously

    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the media on your iPod while you have it set to Auto Sync. This document explains the difference in the two methods. You can switch between the two, but you can use both at the same time.

  • How to convert .mp4 files that come into iTunes as Movies into Music Videos

    I've tried selecting a file and then going into the "Get Info", then "Options" and then to "Media Kind", but for some reason it is greyed out and I am unable to change these .mp4's into music videos.  Any suggestions are SO appreciated!!!

    Ok, I checked and the file is NOT locked.  Any other suggestions?  It shows the file as an MPEG-4 movie .mp4, but I just can't get it to change from a movie to a music video so that I can see the artist.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
