ITunes closes itself when trying to play TV shows

When I try to play a TV show, the window goes green and then iTunes stops working and closes itself. Songs all play fine, it seems to be just TV shows. Is there any reason for this? How do I stop it?

There's a link in that article to another article about updating Windows drivers:

  • Error when trying to play Keynote show on secondary display (Snow Leopard)

    Hi.
    I'm getting an error message when trying to play keynote presentations on a secondary display. I get the same message with every file I try:
    "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occurred."
    The files will play fine with my displays mirrored, or on just the laptop. Never had any problems before Snow Leopard.
    The secondary displays are 1. Apple Cinema Display, and 2. A Sanyo video projector. I get the same error in both cases.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    The presentation does run fine with the "Presenter Information" the first time I start it after starting Keynote, but if I exit the presentation and try to run it again, I get the error and I continue to get the error until I restart Keynote.
    The presentation will run just fine if I don't use the "Presenter Information" on a second display feature."
    I'm having the same problem. Any help? Please... Thanks

  • ITunes 9 freezes when trying to play movie

    G'Day Experts !
    Was wondering if anyone can tell me why iTunes 9.03.15 (the latest software) freezes up on WinXP SP3
    Have looked through the knowledge base, have done the reinstalls, created a new Apple account, disabled antivirus... nada.
    This is on a new hard disc and a new system that has not run iTunes before. Have never seen this problem.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    Itunes 9.03.15
    itunes freezes when I play a movie/tvshow. I have to "end task" then re-start Itunes. The movie doesn't play at all. This happened after I downloaded two movies for rental and tried to move them to an older model Ipod video 30GB. The move didn't work so I tried to synch the ipod with no success. Gave up trying to move the movie and tried to watch it on my computer screen and it does not play. This is irrating because now my movie is going to expire in a few hours and I haven't been able to watch it.

  • ITunes stops running when trying to play movies

    I have several movies loaded into iTunes but when I try to view them on my TV using Apple TV iTunes stops running and wants to close down.
    I have played movies before without any issues but this has only happened in the last few days.
    Does any one have a solution? The movies by the way haven't been purchased through the iTunes store.. they are my own DVD's

    PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • HT1933 iTunes shut down when trying to play purchased tv show

    Okay. let's first try uninstalling and reinstalling your QuickTime. We'll also take a few other explicit precautions, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet. get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel and uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Go back into your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Right-click on the "QuickTimeVR" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Empty your recycle bin.
    *Reinstall phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.
    Does the QuickTime reinstall seem to go through smoothly? If so, try launching iTunes again and trying to play one of the affected videos. Do you still get the same iTunes error, or are the files playing properly now?

  • 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 stops working when trying to play purchased video

    Hey Everyone,
    For some reason whenever I try to play a video or TV program that I purchased from the iTunes store it causes iTunes to shut down and it won't play the video. It does bring up the player for a few seconds then just hangs and a few seconds later it pops up a message that iTunes has stopped working. HELP PLEASE. I'm on 7 64 bit.

  • 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 shuts down when trying to play video

    My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

    I upgraded Quicktime and now it works.

  • 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.

  • ITunes giving error when trying to play mp3 podcast file I created

    I'm testing a new podcast feed at the moment and I am unsure of the issue.
    The MP3 was created in Adobe Audition 3.0
    If I drag the mp3 directly into iTunes it plays it no problem.
    If I put the Podcast URL directly into a browser all of the info displays and I can download the file.
    But if I subscribe to the feed in iTunes, it does display all of the information etc and does list the podcast in the podcast section, but I get the error, "The File might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play" yet it does play it if I drag the file into iTunes directly.
    Any advise please?

    Hi Michelle,
    i don't see which disk is used to create the fileshare. There isn't such a configuration.
    This is how the config looks like for the Cluster where it is not working:
    And this is the cluster where everything is working:
    The fileshare resource is usually created by the SQL Server Configuration Manager. This also happens in my case, but the problem is that it is immediately removed again without further specification of what the problem is.
    The SQL Server log is also not very helpful. The attempt is not registered in the server log. Just the retry is logged saying that the configuration might be inconsistent:
    2015-03-13 10:02:50.51 spid53      Error: 5596, Severity: 16, State: 2.
    2015-03-13 10:02:50.51 spid53      FILESTREAM feature configuration might be inconsistent.  To reset the configuration, use the sp_configure stored procedure.

  • ITunes suddenly crashes when trying to play purchased music

    Everything's been OK (other than iTunes randomly rebuilding my music library every week or so...) I download a song from the music store. It attempts to import it and crashes. I manually find the song and drop it into iTunes, it crashes. I won't even import it. I try to play ANY purchased music, it crashes. I can play non-purchased aac and mp3 files just fine. I'm running itunes 6.0.1

    Oh yeah, I forgot to say that i've also trashed my old iTunes and re-installed, and trashed the prefs.
