ITunes studdering on playing videos and edditing media titles

Hi,
I got an iPod this last December, and downloaded iTunes, and everything worked fine. Speed was normal, and I was happy. About a few weeks ago, it asked me to update my iTunes, and I did so. Ever since then, I can not do much of anything involving iTunes without having the program freeze up for about 5-10 seconds. Only iTunes freezes up. I can work with other programs while its stuck thinking.
Its driving me insane.
It would affect me mostly when double clicking on another song, and or deleting / renaming a song or video I have converted.
I just downloaded iTunes from the website and its still "stuttering" when changing/deleting a group of files at one time, and still persists with the videos. I can play about 20 seconds of a video before loosing all audio and video, and when it resumes, its as if the video was playing.
Is there something I Can do to make this better?
For general info, I have about a gig of ram and dual P3 processors, so that shouldn't be the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

try Plex Media Server, the server is free, you can buy Plex app for iPad for maybe 5$, lot better than Windows Media Services. they also have Plex Web, you can play all your media on the web. Plex will organize your media, add cover art, will play/transcode
any format (Audio/Video), you can even play your iTunes music using Plex.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

ITunes freezes when playing video.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Let me start by saying I've seen many others complain about this with mostly no resolution.
To elaborate, when initiating any video in iTunes (be it a movie, TV show, music video, or iTunes Store preview), the application immediately hangs. No errors -- iTunes just stops responding and can only be closed by killing its process. I've tried all the solutions people hash out time and again to no avail. This has been happening since iTunes 10, and ever since I've been playing all its videos through QuickTime (which works perfectly).
In Safe Mode, however, a black box appears briefly (as if the video's about to play), before a Windows "iTunes has stopped responding" prompt comes up. Not only that, but I also get two error logs in Event Viewer:

I don't know how helpful these logs are, but I've never seen anyone post anything similar when reporting this issue. Microsoft's link in the second one's header tells you to install a "newer" version of iTunes 64-bit even if you have the newest one (and I've done it with no improvement). In one post, iTunes wouldn't play video for somebody until they were told to uninstall Klite Codec Pack. This was the only time I came across this suggestion, and, having Klite, did it too, but with no improvement. iTunes still hangs when trying to play video, it crashes "properly" with a Windows prompt when trying to play video in Safe Mode, and QuickTime works fine (which I guess is my only solution).
Some insight from Apple would be appreciated. This has been happening since iTunes 10, so I consider the problem to be on iTunes' end rather than my system's, which has by and large been a constant the whole time.

Codec packs are notorious for causing iTunes problems.
Try searching c:\windows\SysWOW64 for files with Quicktime in the name.
There should be just two:
Quicktime.qts
QuicktimeVR.qtx
If there are any other files or folders, try dragging them to the desktop ot any temporary folder.
Does that make any difference.
After doing that, do you have the latest Quicktime installed, if not update it.

Earlier versions of Quicktime can upset iTunes.

Composite AV Cable will play video and audio, but not music

I just bought an Apple Composite AV Cable to use with my iPod touch 3rd gen. It will play videos and the accompanying audio through the TV with no problems, but it will not play just music. What's the deal?

No. However, you can get a cable from the headphone jack to an audio input for your TV.
The Apple universal dock also has audio out.

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

One of the following steps should help.

    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".

5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Best.

Lock screen while playing videos and music?

iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 (up to date), no SiM card installed.
This is an old iPhone I use to play videos and music for my daughter (2 years). She watches the video, but tends to too=uch the screen because that's what kids do. This pauses the video, or sends the phone to the home screen. Is there a way to lock out the screen while the video plays so that only the home button will pause the video?

Hi Scott,
I think Guided Access with Ignore all screen touches is what you need.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7fad0d10
Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
Turn Guided Access on or off
Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area.
Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons.
Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.
Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.
End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End.
Have fun,
Nubz

CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
Thanks

I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
look near the bottom section of this link for further information. The codec is called DirectShow
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34
Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's. If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files. I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

Windows iTunes won't play video from shared libraries

Hey guys.
There are 4 computers with itunes in my house. I have a MBP and a Mac Mini with 10.6.4. Also, my brothers have 2 PCs with Windows 7.
I store my media on the Mac, but would like to share it with them thru iTunes on the other PCs. So, we all set up library sharing and updated to iTunes on all machines to 10.0.1.
Problem is: The windows PCs can't play any shared video.
Whether it's from Mac or PC, iTunes on the Windows PCs can't stream any videos from any of the other 3 shared libraries. The Macs do it fine from the other sources, Windows PCs don't.
All that being said, the Windows PCs do play video in their own libraries. Just not Shared ones.
As I said, all 4 PCs have the latest OSs, iTunes and QT. Any ideas?

It has to do with how I was transscoding the videos. Handbrake tags the videos in a way that makes it impossible to play in Windows. Retagging with a program like MetaX will solve the issue.

ITunes 11.02 update - video and audio no longer working

I updated to iTunes 11.02 last night.
Now, I can't play any video or any audio files, whether using iTunes or Quicktime. Even online Vimeo and YouTube content won't play. Clicking the play button does nothing - the movie or song's progress indicator doesn't move.
In Sytem Preferences > Sound: I get the following message for input and output devices "No input device found" and "No output device found"
There doesn't seem to be a way to check if the graphics card is recognised but it's still showing up in the system profiler.
Looks like the iTunes update has completely nixed my laptop's video and audio capabilities. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I do a lot of SONY HRD FX1 native 1080i HDV capture with Final Cut Pro 5 on my PowerBook 1.3 GHz G4..
Before Apple started supporting HDV, getting the audio and video lined up was such a nightmare that it wasn't even worth working on projects.
My material works great inside FCP 5, but I have had similar problems to what you describe when making the DVDs
However, I use DVD Studio Pro and was able to move the audio relative to the video slightly to get the most important parts to line up. However if your audio and video clips aren't the same length then you will have variable slippage for long clips.
I have been using MPEG Power Professional (Heuris Inc) to do my MPEG2 video encodes as well as my audio encodes and I haven't had the problem lately.

Itunes doesn't play video

Hello, I have had this problem for years, and it really stinks that I can't watch any of the stuff i've purchased on iTunes.
Any time I try and watch a video in iTunes (that i purchased through iTunes, it freezes and crashes iTunes. If i try and watch some of these movies or tv shows through Quicktime player stand alone, it will play some of them if not most and all of them, but the video for some reason appears sub standard. I am convinced I will never get this issue resolved, which really stinks because i would probably buy more movies and tv shows through itunes. =(
OK: I did a complete gut uninstall of everything apple from my pc, and a registry clean etc. and then a complete reinstall and it still doesn't work.
        I also went into Quicktime settings and changed the 3D acceleration settings as some threads suggest.
        So other than those things right there I don't know what to say??? I have a 16 gigs of ram, an i7 processor, and HD radeon GPU... my hardware is not the issue. p.s I also watch movies via cyberlink power dvd etc, so I know I am able to watch video. I am thinking i am missing some type of codec... who knows, I don't or i wouldn't be typing this.
