ITunes Music Videos Skipping in Windows 8.1

About three iTunes updates ago, I began to have chronic problems with my iTunes music videos crashing on both of my Windows XP computers. I stopped purchasing altogether.  I just bought a new computer with Windows 8.1.  The iTunes videos play, but the quality is not great. I can hear little skips in almost every video, like an old vinyl LP with a few scratches. The same videos play beautifully on my iPod, and I've played music DVDs on my new computer with good results.  I am so disappointed that this new computer didn't completely resolve this problem with iTunes videos.  Any ideas without a lot of hoop jumping?

Replying to my own post to add that it is not just the sound that skips, but the picture. It seems very random.

    Click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, open the larger library in iTunes, move the media files from the smaller one into the library in the open iTunes program window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, and then import the playlists. Any rented movies will only play on the computer they were originally downloaded to.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Itunes music video rotation

    Ever since we got the ISO 7 and up update. I haven't been able to rotate my ITunes Music Videos. Is there a way to fix it or do we have to wait till there is a software fix coming up? I didn't buy music videos on ITunes to see them in a small format, and if I rotate I get a collage of album covers that is not as user friendly as the last swipe mode it use to have. Please don't confuse this with the rotation lock on the phone, that works fine. This has only to do with the ITunes Music Videos on the IPhone. Thank you.

    I haven't seen anyone be able to use iTunes videos in a Keynote presentation. Not sure if the problem is on the QuickTime side or on the Keynote side (Keynote hasn't been updated in awhile but QuickTime's been updated several times).

  • Airplay only streaming audio portion from iTunes music videos

    ip5, ipad2 & 3 all current f/w & Apple TV2 :
    Just all working correctly a little over a month or so ago.  Now, can only get audio portion from music videos when Itunes Match is turned ON.  Downloading music videos to local device & turning off Match on said device allows for proper a/v playback.  Other: going into itunes/purchases and clicking on any purchased video will properly play to ATV2.  Videos played via safari, youtube, other apps, also play just fine.
    I've rest all devices, including router, nothing.  Also restored AV2 & ipad3 just to make sure that the most recent firmware update to all devices was not the cause; result still the same.  Friend attempted to play a music video they had on their iphone4/ipad2 and they too couldn't play a purchased iTunes Music Video properly.
    Airplay is turned on on all devices.
    Do people think this is a bug in the backend of Match or other?  any help would be great, thank you.

    What you want to do is, unfortunately, not possible. If you want to listen to just the audio for those songs you'll have to buy the audio tracks.
    Regards,
    Michael

  • Windows Vista and iTunes Music Video

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista, loaded Itunes and transferred my Itunes Library to the new computer. The music files work fine but the music video files have a glitch. The video freezes intermitently while the audio continues to play smoothly. Help?

  • How do I play iTunes Music Videos on my PC

    I bought a music video on my iPad and want to play it on my Laptop.
    I can't find anywhere on iTunes on my Laptop where that option comes up. I can search the same music video on the iTunes store on my laptop and it comes up for sale again.
    I used to play them on my PC all the time, but haven't tried it in a year. Did the support for this get removed from iTunes for some reason?
    Yes, I have already asked it to sync purchases.
    Not sure if anyone else is having issues, but I've had more problems since I upgraded to iOS 8 and all the subsequent versions of 8 than I've ever experienced upgrading Windows on a PC, since they came out with Windows ME. Certain features in a bunch of apps stopped working, video playback freezes all the time (this is on an iPad 4), and stuff that I have just bought, regularly comes up telling me that I haven't purchased it, even though I have a receipt for it.
    HELP! I really wish I could roll back to iOS7.X, even 8.1 really, really *****!

    This is for the people at Apple: The iPhone is fantastic and has changed my life, but please work on
    enabling iPhone users to view continuous music videos like iPod users can.

  • ITunes music videos playing small on full screen mode

    Hi,
    When I select full screen to play a music video in iTunes it doesn't play full screen but its seems about half the size it should be. Please could someone tell me how to get it back to playing in full screen mode again?
    Thank you,
    Amy

    Hello Amy, welcome to the Apple forums.
    Where did you get the video from?
    Drag your video from iTunes, on to the Desktop to copy it.
    Right click on the video icon and choose "Get Info".
    A long window will open on your desktop. Look in the section "More Info:" then, directly underneath, "Dimensions" there will be some numbers there such as 720x480. Post the numbers you are seeing, here. It would also be helpful to know which computer and monitor you are using.

  • ITunes music videos in Vista 32-bit

    I switched my iTunes library from a desktop to a laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit OS with iTunes 7.6.1.9, and I felt the easiest way would be to usde the Add Folder feature to move the entire iTunes music folder to the new library on my LAN. My problem has been, for the past few months, that my library no longer shows a music video section. All the videos I have bought are still in the music section of the library, and the videos play correctly, but I cannot watch them when exported to my iPod. I do not know if this is because of the newer version of iTunes, or because of how i transfered the files to the new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is not the problem. I have my videos section showing, and tv shows, and i have videos in both. however, my music videos only show up in the music section of the library. I can play the music videos on my computer and watch them, but when they are transferred to my iPod, there is no section for music videos. I can play them usic video file from the music section of the iPod, but it just plays the audio.

  • Itune music videos display no images but flashing vivid coloured background

    Having upgraded to itunes 7.1 sometime ago I cannot see me existing music videos or even new ones that I purchase. The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok. Whats the problem, dvd's I play are OK

    (Sorry about barging in, Timmy.)
    +The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok.+
    With those symptoms, especially if the colors are pink, purple or green, the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document is worth a try:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows XP and 2000 video playback performance issues
    But by all means, if there are newer video drivers available for your video card or display adaptor then it's worth upgrading them (as Timmy suggests) to see if you can still get good video with the Direct3D acceleration enabled.

    Select the video and open the Get Info window (right click -> Get info or File -> Get info). Select the "Options" tab. Use the drop down "Media Kind" selection to change it from movie to music video.
