ITunes and Motion don't play nice

My problem is similar to this post from last year: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1699622&#1699622
If I have iTunes playing a song or paused on a song, then switching to Motion from another application causes Motion to stall and beachball for 30 seconds to a minute. If iTunes is quit or if the music is "stopped," there is no problem. My library is about 75 GB.
Can anyone think of why iTunes and Motion might have a conflict?

i have this problem, too and posted a message months ago about it which received no helpful solution (or even corroboration for that matter). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=475709&tstart=0
in my prior thread, the application switch beachball was an afterthought for a larger issue.
i'm just reaching out to this thread to confirm that someone else has the same issue.
this issue has persisted with all updates of Motion v2 and iTunes v7 to date, as well as all versions of 10.4.
i have no solution other than to close iTunes.

ITunes and Quicktime don't play videos properly! HELP!

While playing mp4 video's, my iTunes and Quicktime won't play mp4 properly! They play the sound, but the picture is al green with wierd writings on it..
I tried:
- re-installing iTunes and Quicktime to both earlier versions
- installing all possible codec's
And when I want to put it on my iPod it crashes everything..
Anyone know whats wrong? Or does anyone have the same problem?

Hello,
You can find additional information and troubleshooting steps from the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
The symptom you mention is addressed in one of the FAQ's on the page.
Have you tried one of the free videos from the iTunes Store? You can find free video and music content on the iTunes Store. The "Free on iTunes" section is generally towards the bottom of the center column of the window.

Enigmail and GnuPG Don't Play Nice With Permissions

In Thunderbird, I've got Enigmail to handle my GPG shit. The problem is that Enigmail needs to read .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
STRING is the random string in the filename, I don't know if that is sensitive. If anyone can tell me what that is, bonus kudos.
enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --import /home/c0rtex/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/STRING.key
gpg: can't open '/home/c0rtex/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/STRING.key': Permission denied
Anyways, it works fine if I change the permissions of .gnupg
However, the Arch wiki states that the permissions for .gnupg should be 700 and the files be 600 (which they are now). Otherwise gpg spits out a warning message. I don't know how big a deal this really is, there isn't much to be gained if my encrypted email were comprimised. But I try to implement best security practices on principal.
I'm feel this has to be an easy solution, change enigmails access privilidges?

The way I read the table at that link, the driver is already installed in Leopard -- so there is a chance that what you downloaded isn't as good as what shipped with Leopard.
In fact, clicking on the yes** in the table yields these instructions:
+If your printer is listed as bundled on Mac OS X 10.5, follow these instructions to install the printer.+
+Do not install the driver found on the installation CD or do not download and install driver found on the web. Refer to instructions below on recovering driver from Mac OS X 10.5 CD.+
+Plug and play+
+* Power on you printer.+
+* Plug the USB cable to your printer and to your Mac.+
+* The OS will automatically create the printer queue.+

Chromium and sound don't play nice together

Arch64, Chromium from the repos.
Long story short, if I play a YouTube video or anything similar, suddenly I can't play ANY sounds elsewhere until I close the browser down again.
Example: listening to music via MPD. I open a YouTube video. It doesn't play. I stop my music and watch the video. Once the video's done, I can't play any music until I shut down Chromium.

Working fine here - mpg123 playing a tune, youtube (flash, not html5) in chromium.
IIRC, this is because the flash plugin defaults to 'old' OSS i.e. using alsa oss emulation. Unload and blacklist the snd-*-oss modules and try again.
This works for me. If I don't have these modules blacklisted then I am able to reproduce the same problem as OP has. With the modules blacklisted everything works as it should.

[SOLVED] MPD and Mplayer don't play nice

At the moment, I have to kill the MPD process in order to get MPlayer to play sound, otherwise a 'resource is busy' type message comes up.
I'm using alsa and using self compiled Mplayer (from svn).
Any suggestions?

In /etc/mpd.conf, go to the "audio_output" section and comment the lines "device" and "format" (thoses lines are marked as optionnal).
Now restart mpd, and it will work as any other alsa application.
Ah worked like a charm! Thanks bud

Flash Player 9 and IE don't play nice

If you have a Flash movie with external calls, it crashes
when you try to navigate to another web page. You will receive an
'Out of Memory' error. This seems to be a problem with the way
Flash Player 9 handles the unload Handler when the web page's
javascript onUnload event is fired.
I have experiened this with both IE6 and IE7 RC1.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I came accross the same problem.
As of today, the only source I could find that addresses the
issue is:
http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/05/18/flash-player-bug-streaming-content-innerhtml-ie/#comm ent-14544
but their solution doesn't appear to be working reliably enough. I
am still getting "Out of Memory at line:56" errors even when I use
the suggested workaround.
I hope that the next version of the Flash Player will include
a fix for this.

[SOLVED] xcompmgr, feh and openbox don't play nice

Hey,
I started using Openbox with xcompmgr a few days ago. I start xcompmgr in .xinitrc, then a few apps later Openbox (see .xinitrc file). Problem is, xcompmgr paints my background gray. Calling feh later doesn't paint a new background image. I read in the wiki that the problem is with xcompmgr and the solution is to use hsetroot (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xco … Openbox.29). This doesn't solve the problem for me. All it does is paint my background before xcompmgr repaints it gray. If it matters, my login manager's SLIM and this is my .xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
hsetroot -solid "#000066"
xcompmgr -cfF && feh --bg-scale /home/gal/Pictures/fiji.JPG &
tint2 &
tilda &
gnome-power-manager &
xscreensaver --no-splash &
sleep 5
feh --bg-scale /home/gal/Pictures/fiji.JPG &
conky -b &
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
Any comments about how to sole this problems are welcome.
EDIT: The sleep 5 statement was to try to make feh work by giving it some brake. Sadly it did not help.

I use similar settings to yours, but:
- they are in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
- no "hsetroot"
- nitrogen, instead of feh
Besides: why did you place xcompmgr and feh on the same line? Did you try with two different lines, one for each command?

I downloaded itunes update 10.5 and now all tunes I have downloaded from Walmart and Amazon don't play on my PC properly. How can I fix this?

I downloaded intues update 10.5 to my PC and now all the music I have downloaded from other venues, Walmart and Amazon don't play correctly. How can this be corrected? I am currently using windows XP.

I have an ITunes account. I got it when I got my IPOD. I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need. I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has. I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games. I can do all that on my phone. I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this? And how do I get my music back? Will it show up once I cancel my account?

HT1657 What happens when you rent movies and they don't play? How come that question is not on the list?

What happens when you rent movies and they don't play and you tried getting credit for it? I rented two movies which they were very very old movies in black & white and they both don't play. I never had this problem before even when downloading videos. Now how can I get credit for it? I contact itunes a number of times and no one has done nothing as of yet. Itunes also asked me for my order number which I sent them but still no credit.

Great question MommaBof4! This is actually something that can be completed. VZW does have the option to turn this feature on or off based upon the users request. If you would like to update this feature on your device please give us a call by dialing *611 send from your VZW device, thanks!

ITunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit

Taken as a whole, the symptoms suggest that another application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and can't go any further. How do I fix this?

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and will not go any further. What can I do? I am using a pc.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play. How do I get it to work?

I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded. Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

Hi randybratton,
If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs. What do I do?

I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs, It will say that it is but the time does not move along and the sound does not play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it hasn't worked. What do I do?

Hey B Noir!
Changing the 3D worked for me!
I am so glad that I ran across your post. I had been reading "solutions" to this problem all day, and most of them said to install/unistall/re-install itunes! No way! I knew there had to be an easier way, and you had it. Just a few clicks, and that was it.
Thank you for your help!
God bless.
