ITunes Movies Skipping

I purchase 2 movies from itunes.
None of the movies will play properly when I hook up my 12" G4 867mhz
to my TV and play the movies. The video skips every 5-10 seconds the entire
way through the video.
I used to be able to buy lost episodes and other TV shows but since the upgrade to the movie store, none of the new content will play. This is really too bad and WTH happened?

From the info in your tag, it appears that your computer doesn't quite meet the minimum specs required to properly view downloaded movies...check out this article for more specific answers:

Itunes movies skips, including sound.

I downloaded Fight Club and Oceans 11-13 and every time i play any of these movies, it skips a bit then the sound doesn't match the picture. I dont know what to do. Help!

Hello sydney 2,
Thank you for providing the details about the issue you are experiencing with the audio and video playback being out of sync in iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve issues with audio playback in iTunes:

ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.
2011 Mac Mini, 8GB RAM, Duo core, iTunes library on NAS on wired network. Mountain Lion 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7 64 bit.

I rented a movie and it downloaded but the movie skips and i can hear the words but the picture does not? and now the movie is gone from the library and i only rented it an hour ago? what do i do?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Repair your QuickTime.
Control Panel >

Highlight QuickTime, click CHANGE the REPAIR.

Itunes video skips

I was wondering why iTunes movie player runs so choppy? I compare it to my VLC player and the iTunes movie player seems greatly inferior. I can only seem to run movies on iTunes at 640x352 resolution and 2200 kbps but anything more will cause the video to skip and play skittishly. I can however, run a 1980x1080 14000 kbps movie on my VLC player and it runs perfect. I really love the Apple iTunes interface so I would like to make my higher quality movies play if possible (Not the 1080p HD just something around 853x478 2000-2500 kbps). Here is my computer specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67 GHZ
Installed memory (RAM): 6.00 GB
System Type: 64 bit OS Windows 7
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
I have double checked and I do have the most current Quick Time /iTunes programs installed. I also have the latest drivers for my devices including my Video Card. I have over 1 TB free Hard Drive Space and the system is defragged. I have checked, double checked and triple checked everything I can think of.
I was thinking of getting more RAM because I heard iTunes is a memory hog but not really sure if that would solve my problem. Many people just say iTunes is a bad player but I hear other people getting higher quality movies to run fine. The movies I make are made using the encoder Handbrake with suggested settings for Apple devices. These videos work fine on my iphone or ipad but my when I try to play them on my computer via iTunes, they run choppy.
Anyone have any answers? If you need more info about my system, I will supply the info. Thanks for your help!

Hi
I have the very same problem and I have the same system and video card. Have you received any resolutions?

How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

How can i use Ipad's ITunes movies with Samsung 52 inch LED HDTV LN52B750U1F

Hi there and happy holidays! I have a LN52B750U1F 52 inch TV and for the first time ever want to play iTunes movies from my iPad on the TV. I tried reading the manual but it is all gibberish to me - I am a tech idiot. I plugged the USB into both of the USB ports on the TV from the iPad and the TV recognized the iPad and the pictures, but had No Contect for movies / video. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

You can not connect to the USB port on the TV. You need to purchase an AV cable or use a WiFi network and Apple TV to stream the content using AirPlay.
Here's the HDMI adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the composite cable for an alternative conection http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=3a

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
(Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
What are your thoughts, folks?

If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

How can I move my iTunes movies from my computer to an external hard drive? After I copy them to the drive, do I just delete them from my computer? How will I be able to watch them again?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air (July 2013) with the latest Mavericks OS X. I also have the lastest version of iTunes.
My computer has very little memory left, so I wanted to free some up. When I looked, movies were taking up a considerable amount of space. I want to move them from my computer, but still be able to watch them if I want to later. I haven't purchased an external drive yet, because I didn't know what size to get. I also have a lot of Photoshop files that are taking up a lot of memory, so I might put some of those on too. Would you recommend a 1 TB one or bigger?
Can you take me through the exact process of moving my iTunes movies to the external drive? I understand where to find the files (My Name<Music<iTunes Media<Movies), but am stuck from there. Do I simply drag them to the external drive and then delete them? Will this delete them from my iTunes library? How will I go about watching them again? I assumed that I would just plug the external hard drive in, click in the movie and watch. Is it this simple? I only want to move my movies, otherwise I would follow tutorials for backing up the library. Once you back up the movies, can you delete them from your computer?
Thanks,
Molly

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

How can I move an itunes movie to my wife's ipad?

Hi -
I bought some videos from the iTunes store. Now I want to put them on my wife's ipad so we can watch them while traveling.
If I try to simply plug the ipad into my mbp the sync wants to erase her entire itunes content so it doesn't look like a direct transfer is possible.
What is the procedure for getting itunes movies from my MBP to my wife's iPad?
I thought I was able to use iTunes content on up to 5 devices.
Have I misunderstood how this works?
Thanks for some clarification.

Ipad will sync to one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy the movie to your wifes computer.

How can I move my itunes movies from my iMac to my mac mini which is serving as a media server attached to HDTV?

I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download. Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?
