ITunes video jumping

Just recently bought a new Dell. 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, more than adequate hardware to handle video (3.4ghz i7; 16 gig ram; Radeon HD 6770; 7200 rpm hd; 24 inch monitor at 1920x1200, etc etc). This is replacing a five year old Macbook Pro which has no trouble playing my content, including 1080p.
The Dell has constant problems when playing iTunes video. Video will play fine for a little while then the picture will freeze while audio continues. Sometimes it's just a brief skip, sometimes it freezes for a few seconds then the video will move fast to get back in sync with the sound. Sometimes it will do this frequently, other times just a few little jumps throughout a show.
This happens on tv shows and movies, all definitions: SD, 720p, and 1080p (I'm also getting the 1080p warning many others have mentioned, that the video is too large for this computer, even though it goes ahead to play the video; this is an unrelated problem). Doesn't really seem to matter whether I'm playing SD or HD, it freezes and jumps on all of them.
I've fiddled with various settings, including hard drive settings, turning off background services, etc, but nothing seems to make any difference.
As I say, this is a new computer (a couple weeks old now) and I've had the problem from the start. I've done quite a bit of googling but haven't found anything that might address the issue.
The issue is quite aggravating and I've not made any progress fixing it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

So iTunes only runs 32 bit; the 64 bit installs related components in their 64 bit forms, so what I'm seeing is normal. Something else is causing my video problem. Still no clue what.

ITunes video jumps when using iPhone (wifi sync enabled)

Hello,
I have had many issues with wireless sync for my iPhone, but I am going to focus on one issue here:
(When the wireless syncing is working) and I am watching a film, video podcast, TV show... anything video, on iTunes, if I open my iPhone (not physically connected to the PC) to look at something, maybe just to check the time, the video on iTunes stutters to a halt for a little while. Now, I know this has got to be to do with the iPhone checking in with iTunes wirelessly, almost a ping-negotiation-authentication thing, but is there any way to stop is messing up what I am watching? It is very annoying.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, iTunes 10.5.3 64-bit, (iPhone iOS 5.0.1), a 1GB Graphics Card, a Core2Duo 2.4Ghz CPU, and 4GB RAM, so it is not like I am underspec'd, and it does seem to be specifically iTunes and wifi-sync related.
Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone else solved this?

Hi there,
I also have this exact same problem and have struggled to find any solution that works, and until now have not found anyone else with the same problem.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this.
I have Windows 7, 32-bit, iTunes 10.5.3.3, iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1), 4GB RAM, Intel Quad 2.4Ghz, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT... so as with Buonacorsi, I don't think I'm underspec'd.
I can confirm that if I switch off iPhone wifi syncing I don't have any problems. I keep switching off wifi syncing, but I find more and more that I want to use that function so it is quite annoying.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing any thoughts...

Faulty iTunes Video Playback

Dear All,
I’ve unfortunately encountered a problem with iTunes video playback after installing iTunes 10 (and now iTunes 10.1) on my new Dell computer. The computer has hardware which should run iTunes with no problems (dedicated video card, 4 GB ram and a nice screen), and has Windows 7 installed, with the newest BOIS (Dell Studio XPS 16).
My iTunes video though is faulty. TV Shows bought from iTunes run in a way that’s halting and really choppy. No other video plays this way on the computer, just in iTunes. And its much more exaggerated when the video is stretched to full screen or made larger in any way. Its unnoticeable if I make the video the size of a notecard on my computer. It makes video unwatchable if its full screen.
Anything I can do? Any ideas? I’ve followed all the suggestions in this article to no avail (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718), except for the IDE step, which doesn’t seem to be an option on my computer?
Thank you for all your help.

There have been reports of problems like this when iTunes has a big version jump.
I've not witness any problems that you have, I'm running on low power on battery and video still plays fine in iTunes, even fullscreen. My laptop is probably less powerful than yours is.
Problems like this seem to come about if there is a major software revision and the software isn't removed properly before installing a newer version.
Try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 this is how to completely remove iTunes to install a newer version. Best to do a backup first just in case. If that doesn't work, there is another way, but we'll try that one for now.

iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound not picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube so I know it works. it is working

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound no picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube on my airplay with my ipad and everything is updated so I know it works. But not on HBO go, Max go, showtime go.

What you want to do does not work with an iPd running iOS 5. See the screenshot.
The latest update for HBO GO does allow for AirPlay on Apple TV - sound and video - but only on devices running iOS 6 and Apple TV running 5.1.1 or later - according to the app description.

Itunes videos not playing on macbook pro

itunes videos and movie trailers are not playing on my macbook pro.

What happens when you try to play them?

Windows Vista + iTunes Video = skipping

I have a computer with Windows Vista and I can't get iTunes video to work properly. The sound will be fine, but the video skips and stops and then finally I get an error message saying that iTunes has to close. Please tell me that there is some kind of solution. I have updated my Vista software, my itunes software and anything else that I can think of.

First Update your iTunes Version to the newest one!
Got this issue with older iTunes when Vista was new.
If its still there check the CPU Usage and RAM Usage with the Task Manager (STRGALTDEL)

Poor iTunes video quality on Vista PC

I have a new Windows Vista laptop, 1 g ram, 1.7 ghz processor and i realize the iTunes requirements for playing video says 2 ghz, but is there any way i can get my laptop to play smooth iTunes video such as memory or program upgraded?

I bet its iTunes and not your computer. iTunes seems to be junkware on Windows.

My macbook pro runs slow, iTunes videos keep stuttering. Nothing has worked to solve this issue. Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2012 2.5GHz i5 with 8GB RAM upgrade.

Hello everyone.
I have been having this issue for a few months now and nothing works to resolve it. The biggest issue is that iTunes videos constantly stutter ever few seconds, the audio portion of the video is not effected. The most I have open at once is Safari, Skype, and iTunes, and possibly Open Office. Videos will even stutter with nothing else open other than iTunes. At times it sounds like the computer is running something in the background from hard drive noise.
I even upgraded the RAM to 8GB and it still has this problem! Nothing looks wrong in Activity Monitor other than occasionally the memory usage spikes up to 6GB, but even then the memory pressure graph is green. I dont understand how these non-intensive programs can use that much. The hard drive is barely 1/3 full.
Please help with a solution as nothing has worked so far. Thanks!

ITunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.

iTunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.
These videos were taken from my hard drive, converted with Format Factory, then placed in itunes.
ON ipad the videos playback perfectly, but in itunes itself it fails drastically.
Same problem happens with quicktime. If i open these videos up with quicktime, it studders and skips, while if i open it with VLC, it works fine.
I have already disabled 3d acceleration, which helped a very small bit.
The Rest of itunes runs smoothly, just video playback is screwed
Specs:
HP Envy 14
Intel i5 quad core processor 2.53 ghz
6 gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Itunes 10.5.1
Quicktime 7.7.1

Update
It turns out that the reason for not playing TV shows and movies is not the network.
Something happened with the files while copying them from the Macbook to the NAS station.
I noticed that after copying a TV show from the NAS Station back onto the Macbook Air drive; it was not possible to import that file into iTunes. iTunes ignored importing that file.
On the other side the TV shows will be played by Quicktime, either from the NAS station or from the Macbook.
It might be important to mention that the NAS station is not OSX formatted.
Does someone know what happened ?
Regards

I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?

I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?
It is an old macbook pro probably 6yo with the back lit keys - not under applecare anymore obviously. I downloaded the upgrade last night which took quite a while longer than it should have.
Anyone else experienced this and can suggest something? many thanks Jo

Run Software Update, wait till all the updates have finished downloading then restart the mac.

I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

Itunes Videos freezing with windows 7!

I just got a brand new dell studio last week; i installed itunes 9 with the 64bit and for the first few days it worked just fine and now I will be watching a movie on itunes and my computer will freeze and go black, requiring me to do a manual shut down because i can no longer move my cursor or click anything. I've heard other problems with windows 7 and itunes. When i insert a regular DVD into windows media it works just fine. So far my computer only freezes with my itunes videos but who knows next week it could be my music too!
HELP!

I had the same issue for windows 7. Right click on the iTunes setup file and run as administrator, it works.

ITunes Video has no sound

All but one of my iTunes Video's on my laptap lost its sound for some reason. Can anyone suggest a cause and solution.

are you getting that with just some files you convert, or with any files?

Connecting iPad to Projector - Panasonic PT-D5700 - Video "Jumps"

When connecting the iPad and iPad 2 via VGA connector to a Panasonic PT-D5700 projector, the video "jumps" at a regular interval of about 1.5 seconds in between each jump.
Has anyone else had issues connecting to projectors?
I was able to find a work around - I took the VGA connection from the iPad into an aux input on a document camera, then used the output from the doc cam and that seemed to clean up the signal and did elimate the jumping. I have made this work with one brand of document camera, but not on another.
The VGA out of the iPad to a Plasma or LCD has worked with no issue, so I can only assume it is some sort of refresh or signal mismatch between the iPad and the projector.
If anyone has any info to share it is appreciated.
Thanks

That's no guarantee. Check this list and make sure your mini is supported.

If your Bose can switch HDMI, why not get a DVI to HDMI cable and use that between the mini and the Bose? The picture quality will be lightyears better.
