ITunes video won't play on computer!

I don't own an ipod or anything and was under the impression that iTunes was a place to legally buy videos and music even if you didn't have an ipod.
So I bought Comedy Central's Roast of Flavor Flav, to watch on my computer. However, it just skips snd stops and the audio is out of sync and the quality is terrible. This is when it is played with iTunes or Quicktime. When I play it with VLC or media player classic etc, it won't even play at all. And I have K-Lite Codec Pack installed!
Any help would be appreciated

  • Video won't play on computer

    I have the latest Itunes on my computer, but my movies won't play and the trailers won't play on my computer.  Anyone know why?  Thank you.

  • ITunes videos won't play when artwork is changed

    I have some of my own Quicktime videos that I've imported into iTunes (10.1.2) and they play fine. However, when I change the artwork to something custom (like a jpg of a screencap) the file will no longer play within iTunes. My Macbook Pro still plays it from Finder, and it works fine on my iPad, but not on iTunes.
    To add insult to injury, if I then delete the artwork, it still won't play. It's like the file itself has become corrupted. I have to reimport it all over again from another source.

    Found another problem. If I playback the file in iTunes, pause it, then right-click and hit "Set Poster Frame," the file also gets locked up. Plus it never actually changes the poster frame / artwork.

  • ITunes videos won't play after 10.8 upgrade--checkerboard pattern

    On my Mac Mini (mid-2009) connected to an LG TV, after upgrading to Mountain Lion, all purchased videos on iTunes play audio but display a gray/white checkerboard pattern instead of a video. The same happens when I try to play the videos in Quicktime.
    Someone else posted a similar problem here -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/19104312#19104312 -- but my problem doesn't seem to be the same (a conflict with Edovia's TouchPad app). I do, however, connect to this Mac Mini through Screen Sharing, and perhaps there's a VNC conflict going on. Just to be sure, I turned off another Edovia app, "Screens," on my iPad, but the issue remained.
    iTunes will happily play non-iTunes-store videos. Also, I'm able to stream the iTunes Store videos from the Mac Mini to my MacBooks (running Mountain Lion and Lion) and iPad without any problems.
    Thinking it was a DRM-related issue, I disassociated all devices and computers from my iTunes Store account and then reconnected them. No joy. I repaired disk permissions. No luck. Lots of restarting.
    Has anybody else run into this? Possible solutions? It's driving me batty.

    I am having this exact problem, however, it's only video content I download from iTunes. Anything that I've imported into iTunes, from alternate sources, will play just fine.
    This seems to be a Quicktime problem as I have found that when you attempt to play iTunes files in Quicktime player, the same grey and white checkerboard pattern appears.
    I am using my MacBook and MacMini in the exact same way. I am hoping there is an update to fix this probelm ASAP. This was my media center.

  • Recent iTunes Videos Won't Play

    Here is an odd one...over the last three months, I've purchased all of the episodes to Eli Stone and loaded them on my iPod (that's a terrific show, by the way). All of the episodes view fine on my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. The first 10 episodes all worked fine on my iPod, but the last two will not play, no matter what--no video, no sound, no nothing. I've deleted them and reloaded them, no change. One thing that coincided with the start of the problem is that I upgraded my iPod software to the current version, but not sure why that would cause this problem. Every other file on the iPod works fine, just these two pain-in-the-behind Eli Stone episodes. Any idea what the problem is and how to resolve it?

    I seem to have the same problem here but it is with my NCIS Season Pass. Never had a problem before but now that the shows are back on, I downloaded last weeks episode--it shows up in my iTunes but will not sync to my iPod. I tried everything and contacted support--they sent that long letter and reset my download. Did everything the letter said and downloaded last week's episode again and also downloaded this week's episode--same thing happened. I have three seasons of NCIS and have never had a problem. The titles of these two episodes show on my iPod but will not play. Any ideas what is going on?

  • Videos won't play after update

    Updated iPad 1 to OS 4.3.3 and now all iTune videos won't play. Screen goes black and then resets with "Unable to play this video" message. Any way to fix without downloading 50gb of movies again?

    Not sure if this was the fix but the problem was resolved. I was also having App store sync problems so I rebooted the iPad (hard reboot) and then immediately went to app store any updated all apps (video player want one of them) and after it was complete I did another hard boot/reset. When the iPad restarted I immediately went into the video player and Problem Solved!  Nt sure how it resolved itself but it works without reloading the files. Never connected to my laptop or resync'dthe iPad but just did an update to all of my apps from the App store (there were 11 to update). Good luck with it.

  • Dumb Blonde-video won't play in itunes//

    I have video's and music video clips in itunes that will not play properly. there is audio. but green and orange lines on visual??I have synchronized with my ipod and these video's play perfectly . but still not in itunes????
    can any one help?

    So, the videos won't play properly in iTunes, but play properly on the iPod?
    Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/).
    If that doesn't work, try going through the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706.
    Video playback can be messed up by a lot of different things. That article covers a lot of them.

  • Video won't play but can hear audio

    I just purchased some videos for my iPod touch (I believe 2nd generation) and the videos won't play but you can hear the audio.  All I get is a blank screen.  Why is this happening??!!  What can I do??!!

    - Does the video play OK on your computer.  If yes go to the next item.  If not report the problem to iTunes and they will give you a redownload.  Tp contact iTunes:
    How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase
    - I would try transferring the video to itunes on you computer and then deleting it from your iPod.  The go to Advance tab in iTunes and select the Create iPod and iPhone Version and then sync to your iPod.

  • Movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible

    downloaded purchased movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible. I get this message for Hannibal Rising: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    First, thank you for taking the time to respond.
    This is the recorder I have: Sony DVD Recorder & VHS Combo PlayerRDR-VX515:

    The specs stated that it does record MPEG video.
    The Mac mini is a super drive w/ + & - capability. I guess I'll have to buy another recorder to get this to work.

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • I downloaded a song on iTunes, it won't play (it's name is grey), it shows up in purchased and says "play", but it won't play, I can't delete it, and I can't re-download it.....this is confusing please help!!

    Hello CTGame,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

    Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
    I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
    It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
    Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
    The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
    (Edit)
    I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
    I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
    windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

    (FIXED)
    I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
     This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
    ( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
    Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.

  • After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

    Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

    Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
    By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.
