ITunes video works very badly

When watching TV shows on iTunes, the videos screen plays slowly and the controller appears (without fading in) and shows up blocky and has slow reaction time.
I'm sure that its not my computer, because my processor is definately fast enough and the video plays flawlessly on Quicktime.

  • ITunes video playback lags badly ever since 10.3.6

    I am now running 10.3.7 and iTunes 10.5.3 on a 2011 MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, i7. 8GB RAM) and video always stutters or lags in iTunes, even without any other applications open and offline. I have tried zapping pram and the usual tactics for things like this, and hoped the update to 10.3.7 would solve it but no luck.  Help?

    Just updated iTunes to most recent version. Now I'm getting jerky video playback in BOTH iTunes and QT Pro (latest version). CPU use is very high but random; ditto with video playback (i.e., doesn't hang up on the same scene/time).
    I had this issue a little over a year ago after updating iTunes to the then latest version. Got nowhere with Apple's "Service" texts. I played around with configs for a while and also re-installed iTunes. It has worked fine until yesterday (same symptoms as last time). As for the past "fix": nothing I can hang a hat on. Methinks Apple updated the version I re-installed with (tho' the version # was unchanged).

  • ITunes Store works very slow or does not connect with my account.

    When I use my account to sign into the iTunes store, the store either (1) Operates very very slowly or (2) Ignores my request or (3) Reports an unknown connection error. This happens on ANY Mac computer (Windows not tested). Problem moves with the account to other machines. Other accounts work fast and fine. Store works rapidly when signed out. Logging into an Apple website with my id works fine. Tried managing my id. Nothing changed. Started experiencing problems today (December 25, 2011) when trying to purchase iTunes Certs. for Christmas gifts. I have one of those old mac.com Apple IDs. Very odd. Ideas?

    jmgg0025,
    Is there something in common between our accounts. It appears we are/were getting routed to a different server than most perhaps.
    1. I'm a iPhone Developer.
    2. My apple id is [email protected]
    3. My account predates the itunes store.
    Ideas?

  • AirPlay Amazon instant video works very poorly

    Whenever I try to AirPlay Amazon to my AppleTV, it works for crap.  Buffering, freezing, bombing out, inability to skip forward without it taking more time than if you had just let it play in real time.  If I use my iPad the video will start fine and play for a few minutes then will just stop.  Not that the video freezes, the image disappears from the screen and the iPad is back to the episode selection screen in the AIV app.  Then when I restart, the image is quite pixelated.  If I pause it for a minute or so at this point, the image will usually clear up once it starts playing again.  I get similar results while using the iPhone.  Is this an issue with the Amazon Instant Video app?  Using the app and watching right on the device works perfectly.  Is it a common or known problem?
    My AppleTV is set to automatically update software, my phone and pad have the current iOS (8.0.2), but this has been happening since before iOS 8.0.
    Suggestions?

    Yes - you are correct! The reason is the new Sony 4K TVs are on the Android TV platform. So apps that work with your television will not work with ours, and vice-versa. Sony is working on this, and they say the app will be available soon. Amazon's 4K site lists televisions that are compatible - all the Sony 2014 4K models are listed, but none of the 2015 4K models. So enjoy Amazon Instant Video in 4K! We'll just have to wait patiently until we can, too. I envy you, since I want Orphan Black, and other shows also, in 4K. 

  • When I am watching video podcasts in iTunes video is very slow to pause ...

    I have some interesting video from iTunesU on my iMac iTunes server
    and sync them to the iPad where the video is mobile and wonderful,
    but ...
    When playing, I tap and tap on the screen sometimes and the video controls
    will not show up, like if I want to adjust the volume or scrub to another
    location, rewind, etc.
    Is there a secret to hitting the right spot, or does everyone have this problem?
    Is this just a tweaking problem with interrupts inside the iPad OS or is
    something wrong? Is there a way to get the controls to stay on screen all
    the time so this does not happen?

    Does no one else have this problem.
    If I want to turn the volume up or down, or pause the video for a moment,
    I am furiously tapping on the screen to get the iPad's attention, and it can
    take a long time for that thing to hear me and pop up the control in the
    video.
    Is it just me?

  • After compressor, video looks very bad

    I exported my Final Cut Pro timeline using Compressor,
    because I want to convert to mpeg2 to burn to DVD.
    After it is exported and in compressor, I choose the
    Apple setting for DVD Best Performance 90 min 4:3.
    The total time of my timeline is about five minutes.
    After it is converted, I play it back in the Simulator and it looks really bad, grainy, blurry, like a poor quality vhs video.
    I don't know why this is.
    Can someone help please.
    thanks.

    thanks for the reply.
    I am judging my video by playing it back in the Viewer, when I add it to a track. I haven't burned the DVD yet.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    Export from FCP to Compressor (this is a single 5 min QT movie file, that I captured straight from my DV cam to FCP)
    my presents in Compressor are: 1 pass CRB,
    mpeg2 elementary, NTSC CCIR 601/DV, 29.97, frame controls: automatic, 4:3, Average data rate: 4.5, bottom first.
    HOWEVER, I have also followed the same steps on another 5 min FCP project, this one consists of
    multiple clips from several different sources, with effects, filters, much more complicated, and it looks great ... with the same settings as above.
    Don't know what is the problem with the 5 min QT movie.
    After compressor, it looks like bad vhs video.
    Any ideas?

  • I had airplay working fine from imac to apple TV. Just bought an iphone 5s, now it works very badly with both devices. Why?

    Airplay from the imac was working fine, adding an iphone 5s to the set-up seems to have led to it not working properly from either device - it skips sections and then drops the connection. Any idea how to fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Macbook pro camera not working -- very bad support

    I have a macbook pro bought around October 2010. It has 3 years international warranty.
    Few months back when I wanted to use skype, I figured out that the camera is not working. Took it to Apple care centre in Bangalore.
    They found the camara to be defective. From their notes
    " Reset SMC and PRAM. No go. Tried with known good OS. No go. Found camera not detected in system profiler. Checked with known good display. Camera working. Denied coverage as dent on the display clamshell"
    Chatted with the relationship officer Joana,
    1. I fail to understand that replacing the camera requires relplacing the whole display
    2. Small scrach (can send the picture to you) on the outer cover of teh display is not the root cause of the camera not working
    3. Display is working perfectly fine. Only camera not working
    The relationship officers are such dumb and techically challenged people, that they fail to understand the real issue and instead just try to console you.
    If camera is not working due to a defect, it needs to be replaced in warranty, if Apple's design dictates camera replacemnt to the whole display replacement, so be it.
    Due to my feedback, some of my colleges (10+ guys) took Macbook pro. Extreamely dis-satisfied with the support cell and their techical abilities. Did not expect this from Apple. Will not take any Apple product and will not recommend anyone. Thinkpad rocks!!

  • Bonjour is working very badly

    I have a Mac Mini running on Yosemite and a macbook pro running on Yosemite.
    Most of the time, the mac mini isn't showing up in my Finder sidebar as a shared device. When I restart the mac mini, I see the mac mini showing up in Finder on my macbook pro and I can use screen sharing, play music from the shared itunes library, access shared folders etc.
    However, a couple of hours later, the mac mini has disappeared again until I reboot. It's still connected to the internet and I can connect with screen sharing using the IP address. Sometimes I can connect to the shared library in iTunes, but I don't see the mac mini device in Finder with shared folders etc.
    But are there problems with Bonjour on yosemite? How can I track this problem down? I want to know if the problem is my mac mini or has something to do with my router, an Asus RT-AC87U.
    Can I maybe force Bonjour to multicast again?
    edit: I used connect to server in Finder to connect to the IP and now the mac mini show up again in Finder for a couple of hours..

    Hi,              
    Firstly, it is not recommended to configure a DNS Server on the External Interface of the ISA Server.
    I suspect this issue may cause by some worm/virus infected computers from your internal network. Please run antivirus software on both ISA Server and internal clients.
    Besides, I recommend you to check in task manager or performance monitor to see if there are Heavy disk load and resource consumption, high CPU load, high memory usage and high network bandwidth consumption issues.
    You can also enable logging of traffic blocked by flood mitigation：
    In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click General. In the details pane, click Configure Flood Mitigation Settings. On the Flood Mitigation tab, select Log traffic blocked by flood mitigation settings.

  • Search in TM backups works very badly - for me.

    Bonjour !
    To test the searching capability of Time Machine, I do this :
    - In a finder window, I select the place where I want to search for a file which I know had been - say on the Desktop - in March of 2010 : in Finder/Places I select the "Desktop".
    - then, in the search field of this Finder window, I type the name - or a part of the name - of the file I want to be found in the Desktop
    - of course the file I search is not in the current Desktop, and then I launch TimeMachine from the Dock, and ... wait to see ...
    Nothing happens this time.
    OK, I click on the backward arrow in TM and TM jumps several days to stop where Desktop is still empty of my search.
    Again I click and jump more or less days back in time, and it stops with again an empty Desktop that day for my search.
    Again and again to the end of it without having stopped for the Desktop where I know - and I can manually check - the file exist.
    Are my TM backups so messy ( I ran Disk Utility repair at several occasions without any fault ) that I should wipe all that and start for a new life ?

    I see the same thing. this is definitely a bug. can't think of any workaround, sorry. you should submit a bug report about it

  • File sharing and music sharing in iTunes not working on local network

    Hi Folks
    I am now going to make a topic of my own this time. Here is how it doesn´t work:
    I have a MBP with Mac OS 10.5.4 connected via Airport to my local network. The switch is a zyXel 2602HW-D1A. On my network there is an iMac Flat Panel 800 mHz and an even older iMac bondiblue rev. A. Both of the old ones are running (smoothly) on Panther. The two old ones are connected via ethernetports (wired) on the zyXel-switch. I also have an Apple TV connected wireless to the switch. There is also two printers connected to the network.
    Until recently, don´t know exactly when, everything has worked just fine. The two old macs showing up perfectly in the sidebar of a Finder window. I could also connect to them via the command K. Musicsharing in iTunes also worked very well. But now it is impossible for my MBP to connect to the other Macs. They show up rarely in the sidepane af the Finder window, but when i try to make a connection it is impossible. It just turns the little wheel for a short while and then it says connecting failed. Also the command K command doesn´t work. The other way round is no problem. The two old ones connect perfectly together and to the MBP. Musicsharing is also lost FROM the MBP. There is absolutely no problems in the connection to the Apple TV from the MBP as well. All three Macs connect perfectly to the internet. I can also print from the MBP. AND it strangely connects perfectly to all PCs on my job-network, it is a PC only, LAN.
    So far i have tried almost any combination of turning on and off firewall, allow only special sharing etc. For now the firewall is set allow everything to connect (and it has always been that way) Network settings has also been toggled in any way they can. I have done all three cron jobs and repaired permissions a few times. The zyXel switch has also been reset and restarted.
    I also have a strange minor problem: I can´t open log via the show log button in the advanced pane of firewall settings. There just nothing happening when i click the button. I also had another problem in turning on Airport the other day. I toggled on and off a few settings (Appletalk on and off did the trick) and then it suddenly worked.
    I have a strange feeling of something corrupt on my MBP. Or is it just that networking on Leopard is a bit unstable??
    I would appreciate some help her. I am sure that the problem lies within the MBP, or what do you think?
    Cincerely
    Mads

    Thanks - the weekend was very pleasant indeed!
    I agree that something seems to awry in the Leopard MBP. The question is "what". The symptoms now are:
    1) iTunes music sharing from MBP is broken
    2) Connecting to Panther Mac via AFP is broken (although one Mac can be connected via IP address)
    3) Machine works well on a Windows network
    Based on all of this, I would guess that there is a problem in the "Bonjour" networking of the MBP. You could try:
    1. Using a different account to see if it is local to your user id.
    2. Failing that, removing your com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist files from /Library/Preferences
    Outside of that, I would have to do some more digging.

    If this is an iCloud account the Outbox only appears when sending an email, so if it is still trying I suppose it should be showing now (not sure though, hard to replicate this)
    What type of email account?

  • Itunes stops working when I click a home video with ver 11.1.5.5 win 7 pro 64 bit

    I have home made videos and when I click to open Itunes stops working and box says"Itunes has stopped  working" and says "Windows is checking for a solution to  the problem"  turns out Windows doesn't respond and I have to close the  program..Tried it again and again with same result..Nicolino
    Specs   ver 11.1.5.5 win 7 pro 64 bit

    Hello nicolini,
    It sounds like iTunes quits unexpectedly everytime you try to open it so you can no longer use it. I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue here, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    Start with these steps to open iTunes in Safe Mode to see if a 3rd party app may be interfering with iTunes. There is additional troubleshooting to be done in the article if this is not the case:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
