Itunes plays my TV shows covered with little green dots

Please help,
After upgrading to the new version of Itunes my TV shows play with thousands of little green dots all over the screen? Anyone have any ideas to clear up my picture??
Thanks to all who reply, Dave

Dave,
Could you provide some additional details - such as,
where is your iTunes library located - is it on the
hard drive of the computer you are using? What
computer? What version of OS?
Hi, I´m using a PowerBook G4 1.67ghz 15ïnch with 2 gigs of ram. My TV shows and movies are in my powerbooks internal 80gig hard drive, located in my itunes folder under my user name.

  • HT3728 I only show airport extreme when I open airport utility it used to show both with a green dot somehow only extreme is showing with the green dot

    can not figure out why when opening airport utility the green dot with the airport express picture is gone I only see the green dot next to extreme I did not change anything I only clicked on the dot and it was gone

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • All my puchased TV Shows Play with small green dots all over the screen!!

    Hi Everyone,
    After installing the latest version on Itunes from System Update all my videos play covered with little green dots... Whats up with that??? Also I usually down load two epesodes of LOST before watching because one just isn't enough. Well aside from having little green dots all over the screen one of my Lost episode wont play at all... "Par Avion". It shows up in my Lost folder under TV SHows but it doesn't show up in my Purchased items. When I click on it it wont open either... However the lastest LOST, "The Man From Tallahassee" shows up and will play?? Itunes Store says I have all my down loads but I have not seen and can not open episode "Par Avion"..... Damm So this is a two part problem. Little green dots and the episode that wont open... HELP!@!!!

    only way I found to fix it it is selecting each episode 1 at a time in order and syncing after each one.
    Season 1 episode 1
    sync
    Season 1 episode 2
    sync
    etc.
    what a pain
    Edit. Actually seams to work if you select each individual episode in the order you want sync'd and then sync.
    Syncing a whole season still results in a jumble

  • When I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots.  how do I turn off this view?

    when I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots.  how do I turn off this view? i've used photoshop for years and never encountered this.  i looked at the histogram for some means of turning it off, but no luck.  help

    The issue I think is connected to the colour profile, and the 8,16, or 32 bit image mode option.  In the past, my images have come from lightroom as 16 bit files and I've never had any issues.  I guess I'm not very adept at the file handling aspect of this program.  I shoot in RAW and like to play around with my photos, then print them.  I was under the impression I should be using the srgb colour selection not RGB, but then I've read I should change it to RBG once I'm ready to save the file to print.  I also changed my files over the 8 bit from 16 once I saved the after using photoshop.

  • IMac suddenly freezes with Little green stripes! What's the problem?

    Was working and suddenly had this problem: whole screen and additional monitor was covered with little signs - 3 little stripes. No reaction on mouse or keyboard. After cold reset same problem

    I suspect a hardware problem.  I'd recommend taking it to your local Apple Store or AASP. You can try to run Apple Hardware Test though in Extended Mode.

  • Why are words in all capitals with little green clock faces are embedding in my text?

    Words in all capitals with little green clock faces are embedding in my text. I think it has to do with pop-up ads? MacKeeper? What is going on? I thought Macs did not get viruses, but it looks like some kind of virus.

    ... I thought Macs did not get viruses, but it looks like some kind of virus.
    Your original thought is correct - it's not a virus, and seeking an "anti-virus" solution will not help. It will, however, lead you down a well-worn path to misery.
    From what you describe, you may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.

  • Itunes name is showing up with maiden name :(

    I have been using apple tv for 2+ years and i just purchased several new shows that began in Sept 2013.  In the past, episodes I have not yet watched were marked with a green dot, but now that dot is not there. 

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

  • Problem Please Help - Itunes freezes when trying to play a tv show/movie

    The other day I downloaded a couple movies I had rented. Something I had not done before on itunes. The three movies downloaded with no problems and then when I was on my flight I tried to start one of them. Itunes went black as if to start playing and then froze. I disregarded it at the time thinking it was just my computer being buggy. Which was odd because I hadn't an issue with itunes really. However since those downloads I cannot play anything I downloaded. The moment I try Itunes goes black as if to play and just freezes. I have now lost money in this because I was unable to watch that one rental, and am now trying to watch tv series that have already paid for but am having no luck. So what do I do? I've reinstalled several times, I've tried the little fixes that they suggest online but nothing is working! Also if you can tell me how to contact someone that would be a great help too because this just isn't working.

    I have the same problem. I  purchased several episodes of a television program and they will not play either in iTunes or in Quicktime without stuttering, jerky video, choppy audio, and the video and audio being out of sync. As a new iTunes user, this experience has completely soured me and unless I find a solution.
    I have absolutely no problem with playing video from any other source through any other player. I can stream videos fine from Amazon, YouTube, and everything in between, and videos downloaded from Amazon and elsewhere play just fine whether I'm using VLC, RealPlayer, or WMP. DVDs also play with absolutely no trouble whatsoever. It is only iTunes videos that have any trouble.
    I have already consulted the page that was suggested here (and on other threads I've read), and nothing on that page was useful. (Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718)
    This is extremely frustrating. I have Win7 Premium with 4 GB RAM and an AMD dual core 1.65 GHz processor. It may not be the ultimate gaming machine, but it's performed really well up until it encountered iTunes.
    I also tried using QuickTime, thinking that might work better, so I downloaded the most up-to-date version, and playback was marginally better but still unwatchable.
    Considering that this is paid content, it is unacceptable that it cannot be played on my computer -- and I have watched trailers for the episodes on YouTube (it's newly released), and they play perfectly, so I know it's not the episodes themselves.
    Is there a codec that I should install? Is there any fix at all for this issue?
    It seems that a large number of people experience this, which means that a lot of people are paying for something and then getting nothing -- and it's not a problem that can be discovered before the content is purchased. This is a very frustrating situation!

  • Whenever i try to play a tv show, itunes stops working

    Every time that I try to play a TV show on itunes, it says that itunes has stopped working and windowns is trying to find a solution. Of course, it never does, so I'm stuck. I've tried reinstalling itunes and restarting my computer and all that jazz, but it still refuses to work. Is there anything else that I can try? I have windows vista, and I know that there are known problems with using itunes, but i've tried all the things others have said to do, and nothing is working. Please help! Thanks

  • I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

    I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

    Try this...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    How do I get albums and songs I have purchased back on my devices? They show up in my purchased list but when I click on them a little circle shows up with an x in it and it won't let me do anything with it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
    You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.
    See Grouping tracks into albums for tips on getting iTunes organized.
