ITunes playback through firewire to ordinary TV

Is there a way of playing back Quicktime files from the itunes playlist to a PAL television using firewire/camcorder interface to an ordinary PAL television (notHD) which has composite video in)? I see there is a piece of software called 'simplyvideoout' but that only plays back one selected Quicktime file at a time through firewire/camcorder.

If I bypass iTunes altogether and play the file with Quicktime, it plays fine, so the file is not corrupt. Any ideas?
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access.
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !

I just purchased Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors with Duet 2 but can get no guitar or vocals recorded. I get no volume

I just purchased Apogee Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors as per quick startup directions. When I open Garageband I get the same identical stack of guitar and on pedal displayed. I get no sound from the guitar. I believe I have the set up exactly as per diagram and cannot figure things out. I am relatively green at this - my best intentioned purchase now feels like a nightmare!! Help!!

ITunes playback corrupted after FW 800 drive attached

I suspect this problem is more of a hardware issue than a software issue. But let me describe the problem.
I use iTunes to play mp3 recordings from my Mac Pro desktop with the output through a FW audio device (M-Audio Profire 610). Everything works fine until I attach an external My Passport hard drive connected via FW 800 cable to the computer. As soon as this drive is connected there is immediate static and disruption of the itune playback that gets progressively worse until there is nothing but noise. Disconnecting the external hard drive does not remedy the situation. Neither does restarting iTunes.
The only way to fix the problem is to restart the computer.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening? The computer is offsite. But when I have time to do some troubleshooting I will try connecting the hard drive with a different FW 800 cable or try connecting with its usb connector. I will also try a different FW 800 device to see if the problem is repeated with a different drive.
John
Edit: Additional information. When I attach this firewire drive to my home computer running iTunes this problem does not occur. It is only with the offsite problematic computer. However, I am not using a FW audio output device on my home computer.

If Aperature is working okay, then there may be no need to reinstall it.
I doubt reinstalling it (or anything else) will delete any preferences. Maybe sone obscure 3rd party apps will write over prefs when reinstalling but I have never heard of any Apple applications deleting prefs when reinstalling.
Reinstalling iTunes will not affect anything. All preferences will be as they were.

IPod 3g works with usb, not through firewire

Hello everybody.
That's a long time the problem happened, but now it gives me a big trouble because I can't change music on my iPod 3G 10go.
In fact, iPod was recognized through firewire by my iMac G3 until I installed Tiger. But charging is OK. After having installed that great OS, I can interract with iPod only through USB. That's a big problem because there's only USB 1 on iMac G3.
I've restored iPod, reinstalled it, having too repaired my iMac G3 disk with Disk Utility. But it still doesn't work.
So here's a resumee of all things I've done :
-Reinstalled iPod softwae (last version available)
-It does not work with my new iMac Core2duo, so that's not a problem with one of my two computers.
-That shouldn't be a problem with firewire cable because charging is OK.
-That shouldn't be a problem with dock connector because it works fine when I use iPod on Universal Dock with Apple Remote.

Hi Xavier
Yes many people seem to be having this problem since installing the new iTunes 7 and ipod software 2.3, however no one seems to know what is the real cause. My 3G iPod was perfect for years, and since last week I have been unable to connect to my Macbook Pro with firewire. However it is fine with USB.
People keep telling me to restore my ipod to an older software version (older than 2.3), however the 3G ipod is unable to restore using USB, and requests the firewire connection to restore.
Thus, I connected with USB and restored using iTunes on windows (using bootcamp on my MBP). However now my ipod is Windows formatted, and is having problems importing music in OS X.
Just wanted to let you know that others are having this problem, and we are waiting for Apple to issue a response/fix/update.

I cannot see the video playback through my camera when I press the space ba

Final cut pro audio output through firewire

Hi,
At present I'm using my macbook pro for video playback in an in house broadcasting studio. I'm sending my video and sound through firewire into a Canapus ADVC110 box and then I split the audio into my sound board, and my video into a video mixer. Unfortunately, I'm only getting one track of sound from FCP. Do you know how I could get both tracks going through the firewire? I'm hoping it's a simple solution.
Thanks

The problem is that I'm not sending it through speakers. I'm sending it into a mixer, that broadcasts to both televisions and simulcasts out of the headphones into a PA system. I broadcast out of a school. The problem is that the mixer only sees one side (audio track 1) It doesn't see the other side. However, if I hook a dvd player up to the same plugs on the mixer, it sees 2 sides.
Everything is cool for most presentations; however, when students do voice overs and they only go to one track, it may not be heard through the mixer.
Remember, my hookup is as follows: macbook pro - firewire - canopus advc110 video converter - then the video goes into a anologue video mixer (panasonic AG-MX70) but the sound gets split and goes into a audio mixer. The problem is that the sound out of the canopus box gives me only one side. I've tried replacing every cord, firewire, plug, etc, and the result is the same.
To survive the next few days of presentations, how do I send out a mono audio signal from my macbook, instead of a stereo audio signal????

ITunes playback skips, pauses and distorts

Recently I haven't been able to use my itunes for playback through my desktop because the songs pause and skip, and in some cases I get loud distortion or static. Previously it had been working fine for 18 months. I deleted the program and downloaded it afresh: the first song was OK but then the problem recurred. My operating system is XP. Can anybody suggest a solution?
Other programs on the computer are working normally although possibly a bit slower than they were. Are there viruses or other nasties which attack iTunes in particular?

Problem was with iTunes libary (xml) file and not Firefox. Once I rebuilt my library from scratch, iTunes no longer skipped.

IBook and iPod connection through Firewire

I looked for a thread on this all over, but couldn't find one, so I'll just post and see what comes out of it. Maybe someone has some idea what is wrong.
I'll try to connect my iPod to my iBook with the Firewire cable that came with it. It won't connect to my iBook. The iPod will charge, but not show up on the desktop or in iTunes. Through USB it's just fine. I know I could just use USB and be fine with it, but my iPod doesn't charge through USB since it's a Third Generation iPod. Any ideas why this is happening would be much appreciated.

I did try connecting my iPod with another Firewire cable. It still didn't work. I also have a Pocketdrive that didn't connect to my computer through Firewire. I do, however, have an external Firewire HD that has it's own power source that connected without any problems.
I found an article at Macfixit that said to reinstall 10.4.3 with the combo updater and then repair permissions. I just tried it and it didn't do any good.

Any fix for terrible iTunes playback?

I have several mp3s in my iTunes collection which I recently downloaded from iTunes Music Store and they sounded terrible. Bass was very distorted and treble wasn't that good either. I was of course playing them with iTunes playback. I played these songs through the Mac, my earphones and my sound system and it was the same in each case. I assumed right away that the tunes were just bad recordings and in fact I wrote a review praising the album for its music, but noting that the sound quality was often very poor.
Now, reviewing the threads at this forum, I find that others are having the same problem with iTunes playback on mp3s. As other users found, I tried playing the same songs through Quicktime and they sounded okay. Distortion was gone. Something is seriously wrong here. I'm not talking about a minor flaw that only audiophiles can hear, I'm talking about gross distortion. Users who posted here thought they might have blown a speaker, the sound was that bad.
I will, of course, make a bug report. But meanwhile is there any way to tweak iTunes to get better sound? I can't find any adjustments for iTunes playback at all, but maybe there's away. Thanx

I was able to go a long way to solving my problem by going to Preferences -> Playback, and dragging the setting on "Sound Enhancer" way to the left and un-checking "Sound Check." These features (whatever they are) seem to have been clipping the output sound like running it through a limiter.
Rant: By the way, "Sound Enhancer" and "Sound Check" convey no information. What is "Sound Enhancer" anyway? There is technical language to describe what they do but Apple seems to refuse to use it. It's like the saturation adjustment on my old TV, just called "Picture." How is anybody supposed to know what "Picture" means? "Sound Check" says it "automatically adjusts song playback volume to the same level." Same level as what? I suppose that means that the volume of song A which is loud is adjusted to match song B which is soft. But obviously the outcome is clipping. How can this be achieved without limiting dynamic range? /Rant
Don't know if this fix will work for other users who complain of distortion in playback. Obviously there are users who like Heavy Metal and in that case music and distortion are the same thing.

No Audio Playback through External Speakers

Audio Meters indicate audio is playing. Mute is not engaged. "Canvas Playback" is checked. Perhaps the problem is in the setup, where it indicates that "Playback Output Audio" is sent through Firewire DV. My speakers run through USB, not Firewire. However, the only way I can access setup is through "Easy Setup" which gives me no option to change audio output to anything other than firewire.

The audio will not go out via USB. It will only go to the internal speakers or the speaker jack or go out via FireWire.

Seriously I need help!! PC cant detect ipod through firewire or usb.

It's been months since my 3rd gen 20 GB ipod stopped working correctly. After I installed the new updater for my (03-23-2006) computer, my pc cant detect the ipod AT ALL!!! It's not showing in itunes, not showing up in the updater, and it's not showing up in "My Computer". I plug it in the usb slots, it does NOTHING. Plug it through firewire... all it does is just charges up and that's it.
I tried unistalling and reinstalling old versions of the updater and itunes but even that's not working. My ipod use to work fine by either connecting the ipod through a firewire or USB. Now, NONE of the usb or firewire slots (back and front) wont detect it.
I did the 5 R's hundreds of times and placed it in disk hard trying to see if any of the slots would detect it but no luck!! I also reset the ipod in every usb and firewire slot but no luck. I alse disable my norton antivirus but that didnt help either. There's nothing wrong with the usb or firewire cables because they both worked with my friend's ipod.
I even drove over 5 miles to the nearest apple store to see if they can help and their macs couldnt detect the ipod, even though my ipod was formated for win. They couldnt help me at all.
I've must of done EVERYTHING!!
Someone please help!!!
3rd gen 20 GB Windows XP

My girlfriends 3rd gen 20G Ipod is having similar problems. If I connect it via USB, the PC doesn't recognise it, and if I connect it via Firewire, I get a blue screen with ntfs.sys are the named culprit.
I've tried it on two differnet PCs now with the same results (both with latest iTunes and update software on them).
I've still got a 3rd gen 40G iPod thats working fine with both PCs, so im starting to think it's a problem with the disk in the iPod though. Although it's usable, theres some strange clicking noises when I connect it (before the crash...), and it tends to always skip the first song in a playlist/album etc and only play the second one.

How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac ?

How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac (OSX 10.10.2) ?
I'd like to play podcasts at 1.5x, without running them through a separate script.

I have not see mention of any way in iTunes itself.
Changing playback speed in iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11432266 - primarily for audiobooks but if you read the whole thread there is mention of ways to do this with other media.
You can also look into stand-alone applications such as AmazingSlowDowner.

Streaming iTunes library through ps3

Imac 27 intel with 10.8. Have a LaCie cloud box plugged in to AirPort Extreme. Want to be able to stream and shuffle my entire iTunes library through the PS3.
It connected, able to stream music and Iwas able to shuffle each album but not entire library. When I selected the artist folder, able to shuffle those randomly. When I tried again later from that same folder, noticed the previously shuffled music, each song, was listed and the playback followed that list in order and would not shuffle.
This may not be the item I need, perhaps the wdc MyBook live would work better?
PS3 support not able to help much and LaCie suggested copying the library to a playlist on the PS3 and trying it that way, hopeful it might randomly shuffle the library.
Anyone have this issue with PS3 or the LaCie box? Any ideas or suggestions? Would the WDC work any differently? Told the Mac has to be on for Apple TV to work, which I don't want.
Thanks.
Don

You can move the itunes library to the TC.. use the normal apple instructions for moving the library.
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
BUT.. 2. You cannot stream from the TC.. the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. No media extensions.. no clue whatsoever.
So this makes it just one more item in the network to slow you down.
You still need a computer running iTunes.. to stream to apple TV. And this is a problem because if you use wireless it will try to stream in both directions..
TC--Computer.. Computer--TC.. TC.. ATV. And that is unlikely to work very well.
So at least the link to the computer should be ethernet.

Lag in iTunes Playback via ATV

I recently noticed a serious lag in my iTunes playback over my ATV. I can see the library and the playlists, but when I select music, I get the spinning wheel for various lengths of time until it finally loads. Playback may or may not be consistent after loading. I may listen to part of one song, or it may go for three hours, no consistency there.
Nothing else is affected on the network. All other iOS devices connected to WiFi have strong connections. Computer and ATV are on the same network, no firewalls. I am running a 2008 MBP on 10.9.2 with iTunes and ATV both on most recent SW versions. Modem and router are both Netgear, and have been reset.
Any thoughts?

IPhone headset no more able to control iTunes playback on MacBook Pro

After I have updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 on the latest 13" MacBook Pro, it's not possible to control the iTunes via iPhone headset anymore. Only the volume keys work but the middle key (which can be used for play, pause, next, previous, fast forward) stopped working. I've been looking for any possible settings to activate that in iTunes but I can't see any. Can anyone else confirm that? And could you suggest a solution? I was really used to controlling iTunes playback the same way I am controlling it on the iPhone and I thought it was really cool that Apple has allowed such consistency and interoperability between products. I hope that's a bug and not a decision.

There is another thread about this problem:
