ITunes stops running when trying to play movies

I have several movies loaded into iTunes but when I try to view them on my TV using Apple TV iTunes stops running and wants to close down.
I have played movies before without any issues but this has only happened in the last few days.
Does any one have a solution? The movies by the way haven't been purchased through the iTunes store.. they are my own DVD's

PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • ITunes stops running when trying to sync

    My replacement iphone will not sync all my apps music or phtos, itunes stops running on the computer.

    I have the same issue since I loaded one of the ITunes 11 updates - my IPhone 4s is running iOS 8.1 and now I'm running ITunes 12 - with no luck.  I update all of the apps and when ITunes gets to Step 6 of 6 and tries to copy the update to my phone, I get an error that ITunes has stopped working and a problem caused the program to stop working correct.  I have to close the program. 
    Is there anyway I can get these updates to work so I don't have to use my data plan to update my apps??

  • ITunes Stops Responding When Trying To Play Video - Windows 7 64bit

    Ok, I've been getting my new Win7 box up and going. Everything is working great with the exception of iTunes.
    Setting up iTunes / Quicktime is quick and easy. After a single reboot then launching iTunes and trying to play any video results in "iTunes has stopped responding". Then it shuts down.
    If I either, re-install iTunes or Quicktime. Video works again, until I reboot. Then I end up with the same error message "iTunes has stopped responding".
    I've ran the test over and over, probably a dozen times. I re-install and all works again, until I reboot. And yes, I scanned for viruses, I've check and rechecked settings.
    Can anyone help!? I really want to move everything from my XP machine to Win7, but this one thing keeps holding me up.

    PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • ITunes stops working when trying to play purchased video

    Hey Everyone,
    For some reason whenever I try to play a video or TV program that I purchased from the iTunes store it causes iTunes to shut down and it won't play the video. It does bring up the player for a few seconds then just hangs and a few seconds later it pops up a message that iTunes has stopped working. HELP PLEASE. I'm on 7 64 bit.
    thanks

    many thanks.

    Okay. let's first try uninstalling and reinstalling your QuickTime. We'll also take a few other explicit precautions, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet. get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel and uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Go back into your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Right-click on the "QuickTimeVR" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Empty your recycle bin.
    *Reinstall phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.
    Does the QuickTime reinstall seem to go through smoothly? If so, try launching iTunes again and trying to play one of the affected videos. Do you still get the same iTunes error, or are the files playing properly now?

  • ITunes 9 freezes when trying to play movie

    G'Day Experts !
    Was wondering if anyone can tell me why iTunes 9.03.15 (the latest software) freezes up on WinXP SP3
    Have looked through the knowledge base, have done the reinstalls, created a new Apple account, disabled antivirus... nada.
    This is on a new hard disc and a new system that has not run iTunes before. Have never seen this problem.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    Itunes 9.03.15
    itunes freezes when I play a movie/tvshow. I have to "end task" then re-start Itunes. The movie doesn't play at all. This happened after I downloaded two movies for rental and tried to move them to an older model Ipod video 30GB. The move didn't work so I tried to synch the ipod with no success. Gave up trying to move the movie and tried to watch it on my computer screen and it does not play. This is irrating because now my movie is going to expire in a few hours and I haven't been able to watch it.

  • Quicktime crashes vista when trying to play .mov

    Hi all,
    When trying to play .mov files with quicktime it instantly runs very slowly and then I get the blue screen of death and the system crashes. I can play the same .mov files in window media player, no problems. I was just wondering if anyone had found this and if there were any fixes. I have re installed quicktime which is the latest version. The Laptop has 3gb RAM a 2.4ghz Celeron and runs very fast with everything apart from quicktime. Its only a week old and has done this with quicktime from the start.
    Thanks

    Okay, let's go digging.
    1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
    Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
    3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
    path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
    The path will be:
    SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
    so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
    5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
    (An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
    *If you get a dialog at this point saying you don't have permission to open the file, try this:* OK out of the permission warning dialog. Right-click on the minidump file (In the "Open Crash Dump" screen), and select "Properties". Click the "Security" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. Click "Continue". Check the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" checkbox, and click OK. Click Yes when the Windows security box comes up. Close the "properties" screens at this point, and go back to "Open Crash Dump", and try doubleclicking on the minidump again.
    You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
    Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
    as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
    After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash.
    Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
    If you can, have a look at several of your nine crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

  • I'm getting an error when trying to play movies

    I keep getting this error when trying to play my movies:
    This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    Same here. I hope it is something with Perian and not a new Apple view to not support anything from outside anymore as they have dumped front row too. They might want to force us into downloading movies through the iTunes store only?
    it's not just videos from the "outside" - i'm having this issue with brand new material downloaded from itunes.  specifically, doctor who season 6 part 2 and futurama season 8.

  • [GER/GB] iTunes stops working when trying to watch a movie (Windows 8.1)

    I downloaded the movie "Kokowääh" from the iTunes Store and tried to watch it. Whenever I press the play button, iTunes stops working. Of course iTunes and Quicktime are updated.

  • Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

    Hello all,
    I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • ITunes closes itself when trying to play TV shows
