ITunes freezes when playing any kind of video

Up until a little while ago I was able to use iTunes to stream movie trailers, watch video podcasts, and watch movies saved in my library.  For some reason now I am unable to.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Quicktime and iTunes, and I have even tried using older versions of both of these.
I can play videos in Quicktime OK, but not in iTunes.
The moment I hit "play", iTunes freezes.  This happens with ANY kind of video (ie. podcasts, streaming, trailers, local videos, etc.)
Videos I used to once be able to play I cannot.
I have synced some of the videos to my iphone and they play fine on it, so the format is correct.
Any help would be great.

I had this same problem s a lot of others after updating to the latest I Tunes version. I finally got a decent response back from Apple, which was hard to do. Here is what they told me. Maybe it will help you:

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

  • Firefox on my laptop wont play any kind of video why?

    I have the latest version of firefox and all the plugins are up to date because I just checked, yet all of a sudden any kind of video, game or whatever that is that is bigger than a normal gif that wants to move and do things wont work. I get youtube saying an error occurred and cant get any other video to load from any place and games too. How do I fix this, how did it happen and how do I prevent it.

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • Windows 7 Crashes/Freezes when playing ANY Video files

    lets see can anyone get their head around this one as it is driving me round the bend. 
    So... I have a media centre PC connected to my HDTV by VGA cable. I ran the PC on XP for a long time but last December, I upgraded it to Windows 7
    along with my laptop. 
    Cue 5 months of seamless media usage and network integration - it
    worked like a dream and I played both HD and SD content with ease. 
    About two weeks ago, I was watching an HD '.mkv' file in Windows Media Centre and about 10 minutes into the video, the video file just Froze - both the video and the audio. I had to power down and restart the machine and started the video file again. About
    5 minutes after re-starting the video file, it hung again (not at the same place in the video). I then went and watched the video on my laptop where
    it worked fine. 
    A few days after this (first time I had used it again since it hung up) I began watching an SD '.avi' file. About 1 minute into the video the display lost it's signal (the little built in 'no signal' graphic came up) and after a further 15 seconds, the audio
    cut out as well. 
    This latter behaviour is now happening every single time I try to watch any kind of SD or HD video of any file extention. This problem is also independant of what video player I use (windows media centre and windows media player classic) After a minute or so
    the display cuts out and the audio quickly follows it. 
    Suffice to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a good bit about computers I
    decided to try and solve the problem taking the following steps. 
    1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt its a compatibility issue here. After doing this the problem still persisted, exactly the same as before. 
    2) I checked the date of the drivers for my video card (MSI nVidia 6200) and seen that they were dated sept 2009. I went onto the nVidia site and found the latest win7 drivers dated april 2010 - I installed these but still the problem is there. 
    3) I then thought, maybe its a problem with the actual video card hardware itself. When I built my machine the parts supplier accidentally
    sent me two of the same video card so I swapped out the existing one for a brand spanking new version of the same card. The problem is still EXACTLY the same. 
    So yes -I am rather annoyed and frustrated at the moment as I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how it went from working to not working almost overnight. 
    I'd like to add also that the display is perfect when doing anything else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listen to music etc and it is absolutely no problem. 
    Put on a video and it cuts out the display like I have explained. 
    halp.

    Hello Tim,
    I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
    install SP1 yet.
    After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
    Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
    Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
    To my surprise, it happened a gain.
    It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
    It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
    So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
    Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
    advise?
    Thanks

  • Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

    Hi
    I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
    I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
    I would really appreciate some advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

  • ITunes freezes when playing video.

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Let me start by saying I've seen many others complain about this with mostly no resolution.
    To elaborate, when initiating any video in iTunes (be it a movie, TV show, music video, or iTunes Store preview), the application immediately hangs. No errors -- iTunes just stops responding and can only be closed by killing its process. I've tried all the solutions people hash out time and again to no avail. This has been happening since iTunes 10, and ever since I've been playing all its videos through QuickTime (which works perfectly).
    In Safe Mode, however, a black box appears briefly (as if the video's about to play), before a Windows "iTunes has stopped responding" prompt comes up. Not only that, but I also get two error logs in Event Viewer:
    Application Error:

    I don't know how helpful these logs are, but I've never seen anyone post anything similar when reporting this issue. Microsoft's link in the second one's header tells you to install a "newer" version of iTunes 64-bit even if you have the newest one (and I've done it with no improvement). In one post, iTunes wouldn't play video for somebody until they were told to uninstall Klite Codec Pack. This was the only time I came across this suggestion, and, having Klite, did it too, but with no improvement. iTunes still hangs when trying to play video, it crashes "properly" with a Windows prompt when trying to play video in Safe Mode, and QuickTime works fine (which I guess is my only solution).
    Some insight from Apple would be appreciated. This has been happening since iTunes 10, so I consider the problem to be on iTunes' end rather than my system's, which has by and large been a constant the whole time.

    Codec packs are notorious for causing iTunes problems.
    Try searching c:\windows\SysWOW64 for files with Quicktime in the name.
    There should be just two:
    Quicktime.qts
    QuicktimeVR.qtx
    If there are any other files or folders, try dragging them to the desktop ot any temporary folder.
    Does that make any difference.
    After doing that, do you have the latest Quicktime installed, if not update it.

    Earlier versions of Quicktime can upset iTunes.

  • Itunes freezes when playing movies or tv, music ok

    I downloaded a movie and it wouldn't play at all. The opening starts, but then when you go to select play movie, it freezes.  Then all of itunes freezes and I have to close it with the task manager.  No no video - tv shows, clips, other movies will play.  Always crashes and I have to close with task manager.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but still the same issue.
    HELP!
    PS - Music plays just fine.

    After experiencing this probelm for forever and a day with countless minutes of time wasted, I HAVE A SOLUTION! Albeit one I stumbled on by accident.
    Before you rename a file, double click the movie to start playing it, then "X" (close) out of the window playing to stop it playing. Then rename the file and it will work instantly.
    Don't ask me why this works, it just does....!

Kindly help how to resolve this. I am not sure but recently I did install leopard to upgrade my computer does this effect the problem with my speaker.

    This is all most unfortunate...from what I read in your post you have covered everything that can be done at your end....something is damaged on the Logic Board it sounds like...as to how much it would cost only the people that end repairing will know after it is diagnosed....take it in...tell them what you have found and tried so far...maybe that will help narrow down the problem...
    Good Luck....

    I think I solved the problem.....In Itunes, I had my iphone set up to update VIA wireless...Itunes scans and constantly searches..which was causing the video to freeze up...when I disabled or disconnected the iphone, I no longer have issues.
    If anyone else is....Disable any devices (ipads, Iphones, ipods)  that might be connected to itunes using the wireless method.

  • ITunes Freezes when connecting ANY iOS device

    So, my issue is exactly what the title describes, but let me give some more detail.
    I have a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) that's currently running iTunes 11.4. My issue is that every time I connect any of my iOS devices (or my wife's or friends') as soon as iTunes begins to detect an iOS device, it freezes. The computer doesn't freeze, the device doesn't freeze, just iTunes - as soon as the device name pops up in the upper right corner of iTunes, the program freezes.
    This issue did not happen on previous versions of iTunes (I think on 11.2 and earlier), but as soon as I updated, it started happening. For a while, I just kept a previous version of iTunes so that I could keep syncing my devise, but when I got my iPhone 5 (recently) it won’t requires the newer iTunes version, so I can’t keep doing that.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes multiple times with no success. I have tried resetting the devices, making sure all updates are done on all devices, etc.
    To be clear, I have tried this with multiple different devices (iPod Touch 3rdGen, iPad 2, iPod Touch 4thGen, iPad Mini, iPhone 5) and it does exactly the same thing with all of them – it does not happen with any of these devices when connecting them to my wife’s PC or my work MacBook Pro. This makes me assume that it is an issue with either my Macbook Pro, or with how iTunes is installed on it.

    Alright, here's what I got for you from the console:

    I sorted through most of the code and I don't think I got anything too extraneous in there nor do I think I got any of my personal info in there. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • I am running ITunes V 10x. on Windows 7 and iTunes freezes when syncing any of my devices. Does anyone know the solution?

    Problem happens when trying to sync or update any of my devices. iTunes just stays in the first step trying to backup the device (Ipod touch, iphone 3GS, iphone4, ipad and ipad2). I haven't been able to update iphones and ipads to latest OS due to this problem. Does anyoine knows what to do to fix this?

    ok, then that means that something went weird when you imported the music. Try deleting and reimporting the tracks to your itunes library, if you cant get them to import correctly then something might be wrong with the CD or the CD drive.

  • How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

    When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
    What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

    Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...
    I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-

  • Can the clamshell ibook play ANY kind of video?

    hello i've been working with my ibook clamy for a couple of weeks. it has a 300 mhz prossor well you know the rest. i was wondering if it would be possible to play avi or rmvb files on the ibook. thank you for the help
    kanari

    I have a tangerine clamshell 300 MHZ with 544 MB RAM and the original 3 GB hard drive. I don't even try to stream video. Instead I use keepvid.com or Zamzar.com to download videos to my flash drive. Then I use wimpy flv player to play flash video. I also use Isquint to convert the format to an older form of MP4 (no H264 code) so my computer can play the video through Quicktime. Isquint and wimpy flv player are on a Sandisk 4 GB flash drive so I don't tale up hard drive space. I have tried Kingston and PNY flash drives. Sandisk flash drives are the only drives that work well every time. Other types of drives are not always recognized. Don't give up on the clamshell yet!

  • ITunes freezes when connecting any Apple device

    Hi,
    This topic is far from being new, and still today remains unsolved. I have an iMac 2011 version with the latest version from Mavericks; moreover I my iTunes is up-to-date too (11.4 if I do remember well).
    Anytime I connect a device (iPad, iPod, iPad mini, iPhone) to the iMac it hangs with the loading ball and nothing happens, namely I have to force iTunes to close it.
    I have checked tons of posts in the support Forum and followed all the steps accordingly, and still no solution.
    Apple doesn't seem to care so much about it, I am starting to be really fed up and my trust in this brand is almost innexistant now.
    I hope anyone has found a solution to this problem which lasts now for months. If needed I can submit a crash report (like the thousands I have sent to Apple support and they have surely used to clean their ***** with).
    Any suggestion of what it could be?
    Thx 

    Hi there,
    Thousands of apologies for my ultra late reply. I haven't taken this issue over anymore until Today. I thought that perhaps the latest iTunes' updates might solve this issue... tough luck, the problem persists and I have almost lost any hope of getting it solved. It is extremely sad that having an iMac and iPhone, iPad, iPod... I have to synch my music using my Windows laptop... Here I go with my log... Don't see any other possibility of having this issue solved than your help:
