ITunes video playback freezing and out of sync from audio problem

There's one thing that bugs me more than the non-responses I get from Apple Support is when I try to watch a movie on iTunes and during the action parts or exciting scenes, the video freezes and pauses from the audio for a few seconds. It happens quite often during video play. How can this matter be solved and I can watch a movie that costs WAY too much to buy on iTunes and actually enjoy it for once? Anybody? Hello? Bueller?

Q? Are you using Quicktime to play the video on your PC or other video player like Real Player?
As some 3rd party players may not sinc right or you may have to download a newer codec.
I use GOM player and it works well on my PC for video from iPhone 4S.
Hope this helps.

  • Video runs slow on firefox and out of sync with audio with abode flash 12.

    Ever since I installed adobe flash player 12 my videos run slow and out of sync with the audio it is like it pauses for a couple seconds and starts back working and keeps doing that.

    Hi jth10,
    The troubleshooting steps provided by Adobe can be found here: [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users]
    * Are there any settings in the Flash settings manager that changed when you updated? [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html]
    *These are the recommended settings for specific resolutions [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/poor-video-quality-flash-player.html]
    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in the Adobe settings menu.

  • My new Nanno 7 is not recognized by itunes. Removed, reinstalled and updated itunes. Iphone 5s and ipad 3 sync w/o problems. Itunes diagnostics says it isn't recognized by itunes. I'd really like to get some music on it.

    My brand new nano 7 is not recognized by iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it stated under "Device Sync Test" that "no device found". My iPhone 5s and ipad 3 all sync without issue.  The online chat with Apple didn't work either.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and have the latest update.  Any suggestions?

    Hi, bbarden.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

    Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
    Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
    This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
    This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
    It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
    The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:

    1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52

    2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
    120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
    I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
    If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.

    OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
    ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
    Let me know if this works for everyone else.

  • Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

    Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output.  My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
    Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

    Hi Joe,
    How do you have your audio setup? Try the following.
    - Set your OS system sound to Built-in or Line out audio
    - Select Blackmagic for both Video and Audio in Preferences> Playback
    - Select System Default Input/Output from Preferences> Audio Hardware

  • I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

    I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 playback freezing and crashing with new iMac i7

    Using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and having constant playback freezing and software crashes on a brand new iMac i7.
    Here are the specs:
    iMac i7 4.0GHz 5k Retina
    32 GB Ram
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB graphics card
    512GB Solid State Drive
    I was on chat yesterday with an Adobe tech. Although playback/render settings show the OpenCL option to utilize the AMD graphics card for processing, I was advised to switch to "Software Only" as that card is not supported yet. I had to re-render my 45 minute documentary (which doesn't appear to be any faster than it was on my old 2011 iMac by the way) and it still has the same issues.
    So frustrating? Anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? I hope I didn't just buy this "super machine" in vein.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi All,
    Taking some tips from Kevin Monahan. If you haven't already gone through this list please do so.
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Best,

  • 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 ?

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.
