ITunes and s-video to TV

I cannot get iTunes video to play on my TV via my s-video connection.
Real time and Windows media players work fine but not Quick time or iTunes.
Any ideas?

Well we found out what to do, Go to itues Prefrences and then go to play back, check the Preferred Video Version, and make sure it's in 720p not 1080p, you can down load 1080p movies and tv showe, but on the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple TV's they only play back 720p, the 3rd Generation plays 1080p and it's only 99.00. We are getting one for Christmas from a Family member I think. Good luck, and I hope this helps!!!

Can't watch TVshow/movie on mac(itunes) and switch video output to Apple TV

I just got my 2nd gen Apple TV, great product. From the website and the announcement I was to believe that you could be watching a movie/tv show on your mac (using itunes) and have the video automatically "pushed" to your TV by selecting the Apple TV within itunes (continuous play), like music does. I know you can go through the Computers Menu directly on the Apple TV to gain entry to the same content but I thought you could continually watch the show and switch the output to the Apple TV.
Maybe this only be applicable for iPod/iTouch/iPad devices when the new iOS is released with airplay? Or maybe this will become an available function for itunes on macs when they enhance airplay with the new ios? Or maybe I am missing something really basic.
Let me know ....thanks

So will they provide an update to itunes at the same time as the new iOS release in November that will allow itunes on Mac to do the same thing
i don't recall that actually specifically being mentioned at any point, so where did you see that you could do that?

Please help or I jump of the roof because of new itunes and 30gb video ipod

HI,
I really need help or the headaches this ... ipod (you know what I was going to say so) anyways, I have this nice 30gig ipod video and was really happy with it until today. I tried to upload some new songs on it with the new itunes 7.0 and it gave me the msg "itunes has detected a ipod that is in recovery mode." or something like that, well it told me to restore the ipod. I did that cause I had my files still on the computer. then I waited for the apple logo on the ipod, worked fine. then when it was finished itunes had the same msg again, you need to restore the ipod. After like five times doing that I stopped and thought maybe the new itunes wasn't good so I installed the older 6.0.5 version, but nothing happened it didn't recognize the ipod.I tried to reset it, to restore it with the updater and that made it even worse. I think I started the updater and then the computer restarted in the middle of the restoration.
Now the ipod keeps resetting it and I can't do anything. I tried to let it drain the battery but that didn't help, the pc isn't recognizing it at all.
Now, could someone tell me what the best thing is I could do instead of hitting the **** thing with a hammer?
I am really frustrated and the support page didn't really help nor did I find any telephone number from apple so I hope that at least someone here can help me get my ipod back to work.
Otherwise I really have to hit it with a hammer. Is there the possiblity taht if I take out the battery, that it stops and resets normally and can be used again? If so, could then someone tell me how I do that?
I hope somebody will find the time to help me.
I thank everybody that might have anything to say to this problem in advance
sincerely

5th gen ipod Windows XP 30gb harddrive

I feel your pain... I'm having a problem with downloading and installing new software form my 30gb IPod. ITunes 7.01, which I installed on my new computer, will not allow the updated software for the IPod to install or update the IPod. My IPod disappears from the ITunes playlist column as soon as I try to update the software. Apple has a problem with the IPod software update that they have not yet found a solution for. I am unable to update my IPod with a movie that I purchased. I can play it on ITunes, but it will not show up on my IPod. I also lost some other videos that I already had. I'm just waiting for the "Fix" so that I can update.

Itunes and converting video's

Can anyone help me?
I have some movies (Quicktime and Media Player movies) and I want to convert them to AAC so I can use them for my Ipod.
Problem is I don't know how to do that.
I've tried a lot of convertingprograms, but I couldn't find AAC converters.
Please help me, cause I don't want to buy any movies at the Music Store of Itunes.

Please go to this forum iPod with video and read some of the 100's of posts about this very question.
Please note that AAC is a music format not a video format.

Is there any way to import my OWN DVD movies into iTunes and my video iPod?

I just purchased the new 30 GB video iPod last week, and although I have already purchased a few movies from the iTunes store, I wanted to know if there was a way to import a DVD movie from my own DVD library like we can with our own music CDs?
Thanks,

"That's too bad, because these are movies (DVDs) that I own and have purchased legally myself. How is that different from importing your own purchased CDs into iTunes? Seems like a double standard to me."
About "legally owning" the DVDs - Yes, I understand, and I'm figuring that most folks who want to put their DVDs onto their iPod are owning the movies legally (or, at least, it appears so).
That's not really the issue here, though.
The problem is, there is an encryption that is written onto regular, copyrighted DVDs (i.e., movies). In order to get that onto your iPod, you will have to use software on your computer that breaks that encryption, and makes the file into some more "normal" format, like say, MP4.
This action can arguably be considered as illegal, in a sense, since you are removing the encryption that's on DVD, which is protecting it from being easily copied, and transferred around. (which would be illegal).
This is a bit different than CDs, since, although they are copyrighted too, the songs are usually not in a protected format.
If you have a song that you've purchased from the iTunes Store, and you want to break into that "protected" file format, that's the same kind of issue as the DVD ripping.
(Notice that the Hosts included that into the ADUA as well, right along with DVD ripping.)
...It's quite an interesting kind of subject, isn't it?

ITunes and other video not displaying

I've read several threads about the Q and ? displaying, this seems to be a little different. When I try to preview a video in iTunes or any other quicktime movie (including the mac TV ads), the bar across the bottom shows up, the sound plays, but there is no video. I just downloaded quicktime 7.2 this morning, but no change.
Any thoughts on what's wrong? Thank you.

Don't know about iTunes. I rarely use it and have never had issues when I did.
Try searching in the iTunes Discussions pages to see what others have done.

ITunes and QTime videos and movies work horrible in Netbooks, All Versions

I own several Netbooks and my latest purchase is the HP 5101 Mini which is one of the best Netbooks on the market. I can't understand why my movie files that I purchased on iTunes play back so choppy. Yet, movie files I purchased that I can play through DivX7, PowerDVD 9 and even Windows Media Player work without a hitch. I also downloaded the MPEG-2 converter for QTime and there is not a bit of difference in video playback on my Netbooks. I thought Apple was supposed to have the best codec software for playback, etc. What gives?

As far as I know, there is no way to make iTune or QuickTime runs faster on Windows platform. However, this should somewhat answer your question as of why movie file play back is so choppy.
"iTunes for Windows carries a base of intermediary code which translates the OS X framework into specific Windows program calls, adding significantly to the overall bloat and overhead.
The technique allows Apple to rapidly develop applications in parallel for both OS X and Windows, and it keep a single code base, which simplifies maintenance. It also results in Windows versions being a pixel-perfect copy of their OS X counterparts because the same code defines internal logic and aesthetics in both application versions. But the intermediary "translation" layer that's added to the Windows version of iTunes eats up a lot of CPU time, resulting in a sluggish performance under Windows."

HT1751 How can I copy only music to an external hard drive from Itunes and not video?

Drag and drop the music from your Itunes to your desktop - to the external hard drive.

I recently bought a show on iTunes and the video and audio do not match up. who do i contact about refunding my money or re downloading the show?

You don't need to contact anyone about redownloading it, depending on the country in which you reside:

Force iTunes to Sync Videos

I have several hundred TV show episodes in my iTunes library that are in H.264 format at [email protected] but with a low enough bitrate that they play on my Apple TV 2 fine. They also play on my iPod touch 4G through AirVideo without transcoding. So I know they will play on my iPod but iTunes still won't sync them. I get an error saying that the video will not play on my iPod. Is there anyway to force iTunes to sync it?
Thanks
P.S: I know I can use the VLC app to save them to my iPod and play them like that, but I would really prefer to just do it all through iTunes and the Video app on my iPod. I also want to use AirPlay to stream them from my iPod to an Apple TV, so I mist use the stock Videos app for this.

The tech specs for the 4G H.264 video are:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Note i says level 3.1 but it appears that yours are L4.1. That may be the problem. Have you tried the Convert to Ipod and iPhone Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes?

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.
