ITunes video hangs for 2 seconds at exactly 8 seconds after start of video

This has been a nagging problem for me ever since iTunes 7. For some reason, when I play a video in iTunes, it always seems to freeze for about 2-3 seconds, and it always happens at the same time: 8 seconds into the video. Both video and audio freeze.
If I were to open the same video file through QuickTime directly (outside iTunes), I don't see this problem. I've gone through Apple's basic troubleshooting guide (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1386), changing all the DirectX settings in Quicktime, changing various video driver settings, and even did a full uninstall/reinstall of iTunes & QuickTime.
The only self-installed video codec I have is DivX, but I don't think it's a video codec conflict since the videos work fine in QuickTime.
I'm running iTunes 8.0.2 on a Windows XP laptop (Dell Latitude D620).
Any suggestions on where to look next?

Okay I have only used the media encoder in the past to render out my movies so they we suitable for youtube using the "1080p Youtube" preset in the encoder. So I am not to sure which pre-set or settings you want me to pick for this movie when I encode it. Also it says the codec it's currently in is H.264, AAC which I thought was also the codec the Media Encoder used when making movies suitable for youtube, so shouldn't it be fine inside AE?
I also attached the "info" on the movie file, just to provide you with more detail of what I am working with.

ITunes stays busy for up to five minutes after starting

Okay, Windows 7 Pro, iTunes 10.3.1.55. iPod Touch available via wireless. Nothing from Apple is in my startup list.
When I start my computer, iTunes may or may not start up automatically. When it does start up, most of the time it displays a busy mouse arrow for up to five minutes. I can do nothing with iTunes until it finishes its "routine". I can't even terminate it except with Task Manager.
I've gone through the options and tried to turn off anything that would cause this, such as synching with the iPod. I keep hoping with each new release that Apple will solve my problem so I can use iTunes when it starts up.
Help! This is really annoying!

Version 6 and 7 hangs for 10 to 20 seconds and grabs all of CPU process

Using either version 6 or 7 on OSX 10.6.8 the browser will randomly 'hang' for ten to twenty seconds and become unresponsive. If clicking is attempted you get the spinning beachball of death. If you check the system activity monitor, it can be seen that Firefox is taking up to 100% of the processor time dring this hang. It also says that 'Firefox is not responding'.
After the hang everything goes back to normal.
This is annoying beyond the call of duty. I have started to use Safari and Chrome due to this hanging.
In fact it has just happened while I have been typing this and tried to use the text window scroll bar!
I have gone back to version 6 and it still happens.

Firefox 3.6.3 segfaults between 10 seconds and 1 minute after starting

Yesterday, some of my addons updated (I can't remember which). Everything was fine until about an hour ago firefox segfaulted (with three windows and ~90 tabs it does this occasionally).
Now, firefox segfaults between 10 seconds and 1 minute after starting to load. Even with no restored session - just the moz homepage as the single tab, even in safemode.
I'm using firefox 3.6.3 on an AMD-64 machine running Kubuntu Jaunty (9.04) KDE3 version.
== Troubleshooting information ==
I don't know how to find all but includes past modern theme, googlebar, en.gb dictionary (recently installed), session manager, tab mix plus, character identifier, flash and realplayer plugins, super drag and go (I think), add bookmark here (possibly)

Going back to a profile backup from two days ago has seemingly worked, implying that the problem was the new en-GB language pack so I'll have find out where to report a bug on that.
This can be marked as solved now by anyone who knows how.

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

I have an ipod touch 4g 32 gb. after a week of use, i noticed that sometimes, after i unlock , the homescreen hangs for about 3-6 seconds.

yes so this hanging issue is not all the time. it happens like almost half the times i unlock.
i tried restoring. initially it was ok. then i downloadded an app from the appstore. after downloading i unlocked my ipod and it hangs.
for sure it will hang at this time.
then it continues to hang
it is not jailbroken
and its not only the homescreen. its just the whole device. during this hanging time no button will work. the touch interface does not work. nothing. after 5 seconds....everything is back to normal ... it is very very annoying
plsss help!!!
i tried
1) reset (with all apps closed and wifi off)
2)reboot
3)restore (also dfu restore)
im currently on ios 5.1.1.

Premiere Pro and Soundbooth won't play video/audio for more than a second.

Ok, so my issue is that Soundbooth won't play audio for more than a second. It plays a quick bit then stops. Premiere Pro also does the same with video, it plays a quick bit then stops. I don't know if it is connected or not but when I try to change the audio output in Soundbooth to System Default I get this error:
I set the permissions to premiere and soundbooth to full but it didn't work. I've tried UnInstalling and ReInstalling but that didn't fix the issues either. All of the other programs seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Here is the fix.
1. Open Finder and navigate to /YOUR_HD/Library/Preferences
2. Rename or move to the Trash the file: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
3. Relaunch The Program

Assuming you're using iPhoto 9.5 try the following: as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

ITunes is only showing spinning wheel of death after start

Hi!
I just wanted to start iTunes and suddenly it didn't worked anymore. Immediately after the window appears, the spinning wheel of death does also.
I've tried to reinstall iTunes, deleting all preferences and plists. I also renamed my iTunes folder to check if the library is corrupt, but nothing worked so far.
I also tried to creat a new user, but after setting up itunes, the same error appears.
I'm using OS X 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.0.2 on a MacBook1,1.
What happened? I didn't touch anything, since the last sucessfull start of iTunes.

I am having the same issue - spinning wheel of death/freeze after starting iTunes 8.0.2. At the same time MobileMe sync ceased to work - the Sync tab in the MobileMe pane in Preferences seizes up.
Everything was okay until a week ago...

IQ804 hangs for 3 min 30 seconds every once in a while.

I've been having trouble with my touchsmart IQ804 which I just got. It had windows vista on it and it appeared to freeze a lot. I updated Vista - nada - I did the firmware patch for the hard drive. nada....
I upgraded to Windows 7 - same thing.... then I realized that it seemed to come back if I left it. Then I decided to time it and it appears to be always 3 min 30 seconds that it hangs. And sometimes it freezes altogether. Memory & HDD & CPU checks come out OK.
ideas?
thanks

Change your Virtual Memory settings to 6500 min and 9000 max, delete almost everything that is HP Media. The Touch screen will still work, with the extra virtual memory available and all the crap apps gone that will hang the system, you'll see a big difference. I am on Win7 Home Pro, x64bit. Also a great program I use that did wonders for the hard drive and cleaned up the registry plus gives additional memory optimization is the iobit Advanced System Care program which is a free download at www.iobit.com

Every few minutes firefox hangs for 2 or 3 seconds, why? How do I fix this?

Since 4-5days, Firefox just freeze for a few sec (from 5 to 20 ~ ) without crashing or something. I just can't do a thing for a few sec and everything goes back to normal.
Now it's quite frustrating :/
i don't use too much add-on (Adblock, Exif viewer and that's it)

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

TS5376 For "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer", I followed the steps and there is no C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files..Also, after the update, I no longer show my disk drive when I load a CD.

After downloading the new Itunes update, my compter now shows error: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I follwed the Apple fix / steps but it did not correct it. Also, after the update my disk drive is not recognized on my computer. If I load a CD, I cannot even access it.

See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to the advice above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies. E.g. TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Trimming HD video files for export from Windows to After Effects on a MAC

Hi,
I have some .MTS files created using 2 HD camcorders:
1) Panasonic HDC-TM700 which shoots full HD @ 1920 x 1080 and
2) JVC Everio GZ-HM550 which shoots the same HD resolution
I am working with PP CS5 on Windows 7
I need to trim some small pieces (5 -10 seconds) out of many of the .MTS files to send to someone using After Effects MAC and FC Pro
In trying to keep the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the number of choices to select when creating a new sequence and then when exporting from PP is confusing.
Note: I notice that 2 clips I have in my PP project bin at the same time have different frame rates which I believe that 1 each came from my different cameras:
file 1) 29.97fps 48000hz compressed stereo
file 2) 59.94fps 48000hz compressed 5.1
Can anyone guide me here on sequence and export settings & codecs to maintain the HD resolution and least loss of quality on export?
Will the 2 different frame rates prior to export cause any issues? I'm assuming PP will re-interpret for output.
Thanks

> I understand the files are not compressed.
You misunderstand. The files are compressed. But they're compressed without losing any information. Losslessly compressed movies are a lot smaller than uncompressed movies---but they're still bigger than movies compressed with a lossy codec that would be more suitable for final delivery and distribution.
> How long are the movies your associate sends you and approx what do file sizes look like?
I tend to work on individual clips that are from several seconds to a few minutes long. They're usually a small number of GB each. Don't fret about large file sizes for intermediate files. Making movies small matters when you're streaming them for final delivery, not when you're handing over a hard disk or using an FTP server to exchange files for post-production work.

ITunes 10.7 for Mac won't launch after Force Quit

Yesterday I downloaded a song file, which automatically tried to launch iTunes; but I was also in a couple of different other applications. iTunes was having trouble launching, and just kept running the "Loading iTunes Library" dialog box, so finally I pressed Stop on the dialog box and force quit out of the application. Since then I haven't been able to relaunch iTunes. When I try to open it, the icon will bounce for a while, then stop, and will never fully launch. It just says "Application Not Responding." Does anyone know a way to fix this?
