ITunes skips and delays while playing movies.

Often while playing movies on iTunes the video will freeze while audio still runs. When I try to skip ahead to another part of the movie, the screen blacks out entirely, while still playing audio. I have OS X Lion and iTunes 10.5.2 and otherwise the program runs fine for music. Any ideas or comments?

Update.  No skipping via my two sets of airtunes speakers plugged into airport express.  Only skipping on my USB Soundsticks plugged directly into my iMac.
Thanks!

  • Itunes Windows 7 64bit Pauses and Studders while playing movies.

    NOTE : I have been having this problem since the last update,  No previous issues before this.
    While playing purchased Itunes TV episodes or Movies using itunes, the movie will freeze then "Catch up" in fast foward several times during the playing of the show.  Tried a lot of troubleshooting ideas I have read here with no avail.  Put Itunes into safe mode, re installed intunes and quicktime from scratch .. nothing seems to work..
    HELP !!

    it actually causes the drive to go into a closed read cycle, and then the drive disappears from my computer and I have to reboot.
    Odd. That sounds a bit like a device filter issue. But your filters look fine in your diagnostics.
    iTunes 9.1.1.11 was just released today ... I don't see any changes in the package for that that have obvious relevance to a CD burning issue, but it might be worth trying an update, just in case. (There's a library file update with this one, so it may take a while for your iTunes to launch the first time you launch it after the update.)

  • ITunes skips and stutters while working.

    iTunes has begun sounding terrible when I'm doing other work that is processor intensive.  Whether streaming or playing files, while I'm editing images in Adobe Lightroom.  OS 10.7.2 iTunes 10.5.  Its nearly unlistenable.

  • Strange green screen problem while playing movie

    For the first time I purchase a movie from iTunes Store, As I started playing it neither I could hear the sound nor I could see the video but after much of effort of re-starting my iTunes and MacBook, it started to play but while playing the movie if I shift to full screen mode, a strange green screen appears for a second or two and then plays normally and if while playing I return back to normal screen, the green screen never goes, then again I have to stop the movie and restart iTunes to be able to play back the movie normally. Does anyone have any idea about this strange problem?

    Hi Maen Abdulhaq,
    “When I start games like Red Alert2 and a lot others”, ” I don't think that this is a manufacturer problem since it's very common to all those having windows 7 x64 and trying to play such games”
    Did this issue occur in the whole games or just the Red Alert2 in your machines ?
    “unfortunalety windows compatibility settings”
    Have you tried in windows 98 or lower compatibility mode, please ensure you have choose run as an administrator?
    Apart from this ,I recommend you to try this method.
    create a shortcut of "Yuri.exe" (or "Game.exe" if running normal RA2), and place it on the desktop. Open the properties, and in the target line add "-dxlevel 8" to the end. It should look like this (or similar if you're directories
    are different).
     "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2\YURI.exe" -dxlevel 8
    Meanwhile,  entering Intel HD Graphics control panel (via Windows Control Panel or right-clicking the desktop) and enter Power section. Choose "High performance" mode.
    If the issue persists, I recommend you to disable one graphic card from the device manager to have a check considering you have two graphic cards.
    Best regards

  • ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

    Hello
    Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
    When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
    When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
    Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

    log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.

  • When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

    When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

    The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

    Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
    This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
    My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac,  MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
    Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
    EX: left"
    Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
    2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
    3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
    4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
    EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
    Enjoy!

  • I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays

    I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays.  No music, radio etc.  Have others experienced a similar problem?

    I just tested mine and my music and videos played without a problem. Suggest you re-download iTunes 10.4.

  • HT204406 I have purchased match but when i try to play a song from the cloud on my ipad it displays a message of " cannot connect to iTunes Store" and doesn't play the song. i have reset both devices.

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

  • ITunes skips and stutters

    Itunes skips and stutters, and the program locks up and won't close, requiring me to use the task manager to stop the "program that is not responding". I have deleted itunes and then downloaded it again, but I have the same problem. Everthing else works fine and both Norton and Advanced SystemCare6 indicate there are no viruses or anything. Has anyone been able to correct this problem? Thanks! I don't want to go back to Windows Media Player!!! (Note: Version 11.1.0.126)

    Yes, it's just untenable. I hate to leave iTunes behind, but I can't deal with this situation. Are you going to scrap iTunes and go back to WMP, or do you have a better program in mind?

    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

  • ITunes launches and begins to play independently, how to prevent?

    iTunes launches and begins to play without my action. Restarting does not correct this problem. Is there a setting or a issue in the OS that causes this? How to prevent?

    When in system preferences - security, you need to click on the padlock and then go into advanced. Then you will check, disable remote control infrared receiver

  • Slow respond and lag while playing game

    Slow respond and lag while playing game, some time will also auto drop out to main menu page, the worse case will hang up. Compare to iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G(using the same version SW and playing the same game), my iPhone 3G will only having these problem, it is surprising why iPhone 2G speed is more faster and smoothly than iPhone 3G? Did apple can release new update version SW to solve this issue, or apple can adding selection in Setting application to allow user to turn off all un-applicable application to speed up iPhone 3G? Thanks and looking for respond!

    I know I am not addressing Apple here, I would like to do so, but I don't know how to reach them. I just want to share my experiance and would like to know did this is because of my 3G iPhone problem, or all 3G iPhone will having the same phenomena like me? I had try to reset the phone, but it is not work. But I found a way to increasing the speed, it is switch to Airplane Mode. But if switch iPhone to Airplane Mode then only able to speeding up, then the iPhone will became an Ipod Touch and not anymore an iPhone again.
