ITunes movie freezes and skips with VGA out to projector

Hi,
I have rented several movies on iTunes and can watch them onscreen no problem. When I used the VGA dongle to source the screen to an external projector, however, the movie gradually began to skip and freeze, with up to half a second pause between frame updates. Rebooting did not change this; however, after pulling out the adapter and just watching it onscreen, the movie was fine.
Has anyone else had this problem? And any idea what I can do about it?

this is probably because of the low processor, and integrated graphics. the Macbook pro has a graphics card that helps process the images, while the MBA relies on the processor to control graphics.
The video isn't smooth because of the slow processor.

Export QuickTimes freeze and skip while playing back

I’m new to Motion, and growing concerned. I’ve purchased and learned Motion for a specific job. I’ve built some very cool elements with many layers. I’ve grown accustom to the slow performance, skipping etc. while working on the project. That’s ok.
What concerns me is exporting. When exporting Draft or Best versions, most all the time the movies freeze or skip while playing back, either in QuickTime or Final Cut Pro
When exporting I select Export, as QuickTime Movie, using current project settings
I’m using Motion 3.02-HDV 1080-60i project, 10 seconds long
4x 2.5 Ghz G5
5 GB Ram
I would appreciate and advice or tricks to be able to export a decent version of what I’ve built.
Thanks!

Andy, thanks for your help.
I have 30 gigs available on the hardrive. The file exports are usually less than a gig. I have a GeForce 6600 card.
When I select export setting from “current project settings” it uses the Animation codec and plays with freezes and skips. But with in that video that does play well, it plays very clean and clear.
When I change the export to 1080i60 at best quality, I’m guessing it uses the HDV codec? It does play back with out the skips and freezes. But it looks like **** with horizontal lines in titles stripes etc.
Is there a way to make the 1080i60 video playback clean?
Thanks!

Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M10...
a few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered it in the authorized agent and they had not detected no problem.
Already I formatted it some times, but the problem continues.
Some ideia of what it can be?
Thanks

Hello,
Sounds to me like you could have a Motherboard problem. Formatting it takes away the chances of it being a software issue. Try taking out 1 stick of ram and testing it with that. If it continues to crash, take out that stick and try the other one. If it does it with both RAM then those are ok. HDD is not the culprit, so now it could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat of the notebook and run some heavy programs to make it overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a problematic CPU or MB. Hope this helps.

I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play.

I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play. Can anyone help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
Any help here would be appreciated.
thanx

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Will iTunes 10.7 play my 720p HD movies on my Core Duo Mac mini that are currently on my iTunes movies playlist and playing perfectly fine in iTunes 10.6.3?

Will iTunes 10.7 play my 720p HD movies on my Core Duo Mac mini that are currently on my iTunes movies playlist and playing perfectly fine in the older iTunes 10.6.3?
Please let me know so I do not update to iTunes 10.7 and lose the ability to playback my 720p HD collection from my Core Duo Mac Mini to my Apple TV.
In the requirements it says:
• To play 720p HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor and 1GB of RAM is required.

Performed the AppleTV update yesterday. Haven't had a problem since...though it's only been one day. Am I just hopelessly optimistic to think that AppleTV just needed to be updated to match iTunes and iOS for home sharing and airplay?
Fingers crossed...

Why are my iTunes movie rentals and music stuttering, out-of-sync and freezing?

I've been having this issue ever since I updated to iTunes 11.0.1.
I'm running a mac mini, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB of memory on 10.7.5.
I've never had this issue before, having watched HD movies from the iTunes store successfully in the past. Only with the last two (Looper and now Source Code) have I been experiencing problems. I've noticed the same issue with music. Songs will freeze and stutter.
I've tried contacting Apple directly. All they do is refund the price of the rental. I need a resolution or I will NOT be using iTunes for much longer.

I am also having an issue like this with iTunes HD content.
I will be watching a TV show or movie and video will pause
for a second or two then start again. Audio during this period
is not interrupted. This can happen once or as many as 3 or 4
times during a viewing.
I have a MacMini 2010 connected via HDMI.
As a note, it seems to me to be an iTunes HD (DRM) issue, as I can play,
with iTunes, material that is 1080p @ 8 megabit/second without any
issue.
In addition, I can play 1080p content @ bitrates as high as 33 megabits/second
with other players and have no issue what so ever! I can also play Blurays when
using Windows 7 in Bootcamp with no issue what so ever.
Is this issue only related to HDMI connections or is it also present with other
set ups?

HT1551 Itunes movies freeze up,and you must wait a while, or start the movie again, from menu (resume)

having trouble with itunes movies stopping or freezing up. have to wait,or go to menu to resume playing, not sure what problem is here

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting, if the problem persists you may be suffering interference on your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Itunes constantly freezing and not allowing me to sign out

i'm on windows7. I recently updated itunes to a later version an i have been hassling with freezing "not responding" ever since. I have also linked my itunes to my old Account whih was set up while i was in a different country. I have been trying to create a new account linked with my new location, but Itunes keeps freezing whenever i try to sign out of my existing account. any idea on what would be causing this and how can i sort it out?

Hi,
I think you'll have to reinstall iTunes completely. First, to delete iTunes completely, use an app such as AppCleaner. Then, install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

I cannot watch any TV shows on Itunes. The episode will play for a few seconds and then freeze and skip forward randomly. I have a Windows 7 PC and I didn't have problems before the Itunes 11 update. Any ideas?

After updating to ITunes 11 a while back, I am no longer able to watch TV shows on my laptop. If I try to watch an episode, it freezes and then skips forward randomly. I have a Windows 7 laptop and I didn't have any problems before ITunes 11.

I don't use a graphics card, I use on board graphics as my computer case is too small to fit a graphics card inside.
There are no effects applied to the clip, only one layer of video and 1 layer of audio (both from the same file). The video is in MP4 format at 720p.
Before I rendered the sequence, I had a yellow bar above the sequence. Also, I imported the same clip into CC Standard and it played fine (also had a yellow bar) with no lag.
I think I've fixed the issue now as rendering the sequence made the video play smoothly with no apparent issues.
If any other clips have lag or any other problems in CC 2014, I'll just import them into CC standard and see if that works.
