ITunes Movie Artwork Issue For Videos Purchased From iTunes

There appear to be a number of different issues with iTunes and Movie Artwork but my issue seems to be a little different – and I have a workaround for it – so I thought I'd post it here in the hope that it will save someone else some time.
Config:  iMac 27" / Latest Mountain Lion / Itunes 11 *in 64 bit mode*
Issue:  HD movies purchased and downloaded in iTunes won't let me add artwork.  I use 'get info' on the movie in question, select the artwork tab, and then drag a picture across from Google Images.  It appears to work fine.  I collapse the 'get info' window.  To check to see if the artwark was saved, I use the 'get info' command on the same movie.  The artwork is not there.  It was not saved.
Additional Info:
1.  I have no problem adding artwork (using the exact same process) to any movies that I've ripped from DVDs using Handbrake.
2.  I discovered that the movies in question that I downloaded wouldn't play when launched from iTunes.  The failure message said that playback required Quicktime.  I have old and new versions of Quicktime on my Mac.  Didn't seem to make sense.  I researched the failure to play problem and the workaround for that also fixed my artwork problem. 
Workaround:
1.  Quit out of iTunes.
2.  In the applications folder, find iTunes, right click the app file and select 'get info'.
3.  Tick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".  Collapse the 'get info' window.
4.  Open iTunes.
5.  Launch the movie in question.  If you get a failure message, just hit 'cancel'.  The movie will open and begin playing, likely with no sound.
6.  Quit the movie.
7.  Select the movie in question and do 'get info' on it.
8.  Select the artwork tab and drag your artwork into the blank window.  Collapse the 'get info' window.
9.  Repeat steps 5 through 8 for all the movies you've had trouble with.
10.  Repeat steps 1 through 4, but this time untick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".
All your artwork should be ok now, and you should be able to make changes for those files from this point on without using this workaround.
So - my question is, does anyone know why there is an issue with 32-bit vs 64-bit and if there is a way to fix it so this workaround isn't needed?
Cheers.

I am having this same problem ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.x. When I was using 6.x, the videos displayed fine but after the upgrade, they were no longer viewable. The audio is skipping and I only receive flashing colors in the panel where the video should be displayed. I am currently using iTunes 7.5 and not only a problem with video display but also can not view album art in the Cover Flow display. Only a series of different colored squares where the album should be displayed. I have two Sony Vaios one works and one does not. The Vaio PCV-RZ34G with 1GB RAM does not work but a Vaio VGC-RB53 with 512MB works fine. I have searched for video driver updates and have not found any solution. The problem only seems to appear with any video played with Quicktime. Video played with other video applications works fine. I have just lived with no quicktime video or cover flow on the PCV-RZ43G. This has been an excellent system with the only problem being the video conflict with quicktime.

  • Incorrect and Un-Changeable 'Video Kind' for Videos Purchased From iTMS

    Since I can't seem to find any other way to contact Apple except through paid support channels, their suggestion is to post something here. Hopefully this re-wording of other posts I've read will shed more light on the problem.
    To Apple:
    Some videos purchased from the iTunes music store have an incorrect 'Video Kind' which means they are sorted incorrectly in iTunes using Apple's new interface in version 7.
    Old Battlestar Galactica episodes have a 'Video Kind' of 'Movie' instead of 'TV Show', so they don't appear in the iTunes smart category as TV shows. They appear in 'Movies', and they shouldn't.
    The field for these files is locked/ghosted/unchangeable, I'm assuming because of ridiculous DRM requirements or an oversight. But you are enforcing rules which cause your program to incorrectly sort files, and not allowing your customers to fix the problem.
    I want all my TV shows to list in your 'TV Shows' top category, but I can't change the 'Video Kind' for those files (bought via the iTunes music store). I have expected this problem to work itself out in the last few iTunes updates, but it hasn't yet. And there are many threads about this in your discussion forums.
    Please unlock the 'Video Kind' field in iTunes for videos downloaded from the iTunes music store (Prison Break Season 1, Battlestar Galactica, The Office Season 1, Surface, etc), or give us some kind of utility that will allow us to correct the mis-categorization.
    Thank you!
    -Tony

    I quite agree. I'm not sure how much attention, if any, the iTunes dev. team pay to these groups however. The formal feedback route is via iTunes Feedback, where sadly, I suspect, not much attention is paid either.

  • HT204088 How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?

    How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?

    First, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If they are and you're sure you or someone you know didn't make the purchase, perhaps as an in-app purchase, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • Issues Transferring Video Purchased on iTunes to My Video iPod..Help!

    Just bought a new 60 BG Video iPod. I purchased a few videos from iTunes. However, when I connect my iPod to iTunes, only my music is transferred. The videos are not transferred. When I try to transfer the video to my iPod, I get the following messages...
    'Update not possible. Error Message -50.'
    'The disk could not be read from or written to.'
    Anyone able to help me? Much appreciated...

    There is no legal way to play videos purchased from the iTunes Store on an Archos player. They can be played on your computer or on an iPod with video.

  • This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

    My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
    or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
    This while everything was working fine.
    Please advise what I can do with this message.
    When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message.  This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

    while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?  When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50).  Would love to sync today.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The -50 error is documented in this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Here is a synopsis:
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    how to authorize computer in itunes for the purchased from another account ??

    Use that account's Apple ID and password; the procedure is otherwise the same as authorizing it for the first account. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five iTunes Store accounts, you may not be able to fully sync it.

  • IPod wont download videos purchased from i tunes please help.

    itunes shows that the tv shows are there but they wont transfer when i update

    Smae problem here ??? I have a 60gb ipod video and cannot synch the "for the birds" video purchased from itunes. I have updted all my ipod and itunes software to no avail.
    I even went through their tutorial and downloaded the sample .m4v video from their site (their test procedure) and everything with that sample file synched fine.
    I suspect that there is some form of protection that is not allowing the "for the birds" video which was purchased to synch to my own ipod.
    No error messages are reported.

  • Make movement type relevant for BW Purchasing Extractor

    How do I make a movement type relevant for a Purchasing extractor? Specifically 2lis_02_SGR.
    The SAP functional team (I am on the BW team) started using movement type 161 and 162 for goods receipts. They set up the movement type in OMJJ in ECC. But it does not flow into BW via the 2lis_02_SGR extractor.
    I went into the Transaction Key for BW and added 161 and 162 and now they show up in the table - V_TMCLVBW / TMCLVBW, but they are not flagged as statistically relevant. I have tried to go to tcodes MCB0 and MCB_ but get an SAP error "
    View/table V_TMCLBW can only be displayed and maintained with restrictions
    " and I do not know what this means or how to get past it so I can edit the table.
    I have tried resetting up the initialization tables for Purchasing, but the movement types still do not come in the extractor. I think this is because the table still does not have these movement types flagged as statistically relevant.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I have gotten a developers key, so I was able to make V_TMCLVBW editable via MCB_ but this still brings me back to the change view for transaction key maintenance for transfer into BW. But I still can not figure out how to make the movement types relevant for BW.

  • R12:Is it possible to Manage Tax for Expense purchases from iProcurement ?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to Manage Tax for Expense purchases from iProcurement. I don't see Manage Tax option in Iprocurement when I do the Checkout.
    Could anyone give some light on this ?

    Good news. I've found support note 552107.1 (How To Enable E-Business tax Functionality In Iprocurement Release 12) where support explains how to show tax parameters field in iProc requisition.
    But anyway like in PO in R12 You will be able only to select tax codes etc, but not the final Tax values. Because now eTax calculates it.

  • TS1362 All of the movies I have rented or purchased from iTunes in the last 4 months fail to play properly. The audio and video are constantly out of sync. I have followed the iTunes suggestions to correct this, however nothing has worked. (Windows 8)

    I am using a Dell inspiron 14z, with Windows 8, and before that a Dell with Windows XP. This is also happening on my iPad. For the last four months, none of the movies or television shows I have rented or purchased from iTunes have played properly. The audio and video are out of sync. I have tried the troubleshooting measures iTunes suggested, however nothing seems to work. I have read on the community that this has been a problem for users in the past, and have attempted to try some of the fixes individual users have suggested also. Again, nothing seems to work. At this point I am frustrated, as we purchase or rent almost exclusively from iTunes. I would appreciate a support-staff person response. Thank you so much.

    this problem has been going on for windows users for over a year now.
    Apple has no solution to this problem.
