ITunes videos turning purple??

I hope somebody knows what's wrong with my itunes, because it confuses the heck out of me. I recently tried to watch one of my music videos downloaded from the itunes store. I opened it and at first I got a black screen like normal, when all of a sudden it turned bright purple! When the video started, it looked like a photo negative in purple and teal. I honestly have no clue what would cause this.
I recently upgraded my video drivers (I use omega drivers), but I don't think that's the problem, because everything else works. It's only itunes that is haunted.
I hope someone can tell me how to fix this. I'd really like to watch my videos.

Try some of the settings from this article

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 (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 ?

Trouble playing iTunes Video on My iPod

Question: I can not play an iTunes video on my iPod
I downloaded an iTunes video yesterday for 1.99. I synchronized it to my iPod. I can listen to it on my iPod but the video does not play on my iPod. I am able to watch the video via iTunes.
Any recommendations.
Thanks,

Try turning TV Out off (on your iPod). You can do so by going to Main Menu --> Videos --> Video Settings --> TV Out --> Off.
Hope this helps.

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.

Problems with itunes videos playing on NVidia Graphics/SATA controllers FIX

Hi folks just wanted to let you know there is a hotfix for all you folks that have a Vista Computer that has Nvidia Graphics cards GEFORCE series, and Nvidia SATA Drive Controllers.... Go to this website and do al the hoit fixes listed there... http://www.nvidia.com/object/windowsvistahotfixes.html
This will update the firmware for your graphics card and some vista incompatibility issues. Not all of the hotfixes may apply to your system however try downloading all four and it will tell you if it applies to your system or not after you try to install them. After that go to your Control panel and go to device manager and go to your storage card section.. Click on the Nvidia SATA controller device click on the driver section and click on update driver... this will bring up a screen that asks you to have the computer search for the correct driver "click it". It will search the internet for you and download the NEW SATA driver you will have to restart after downloading. THEN go back into the control panel again and make sure the driver is updated to 7/2007 if not reapeat the update driver part. It will then pull the information from your hard drive and the driver will be installed. It takes like 4 seconds to do this... then restart your system and all the problems have been fixed... this works with quicktime in itunes video problems as well as the kodak camera video problems.. I hope this helps it worked great for me..... Good Luck...

I've experienced a similar problem with my mid-2010 MBP freezing when on battery power. I've traced the problem to gfxCardStatus switching the GPU to the Intel HD when there are still dependencies for the NVIDIA 330. I stopped using the application and seems to have solved the problem.
I agree that the problem is prevelant on Lion and didn't occur in Snow Leopard. Your advice to turn off the AGS feature in Energy Saver is a smart one, at least until engineering at Apple resolves this problem, since both gfxCardStatus and AGS are doing the same graphics card switching without reference to actual need of the running apps.

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.

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.

Iphone is not being recognized in itunes. Turned off phone, rebooted pc, checked all connections. Still no itunes recognition. What should I do?

HELP ME PLEASE!All my downloaded VIDEOS turn off on their own while playing

PLEASE HELP ME !! All Videos downloaded to my I phone turn off ON THEIR OWN while playing. Some play for two or three minutes then turn off--some play for 15 minutes, then turn off. Plus rather than letting me resume play from the point at which they turn off--they all go back to the video starting point. THIS HAPPENS with ALL videos--!!! Videos from i tunes plus home made videos. I have taken the phone to my local Apple store--they had no idea why this happens and they gave me a new phone ( very polite and nice process) however the same thing happens on my new phone. I called Apple support--they had no answers. Please help--I spent a lot of money on the new i phone ( pre discount price) plus bought a brand new computer to make all this work with video and so far a big disapointment!! My computer is an HP Pavillion Elite - model m9040n- with an Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600,,memory 3GB DDR2, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 video card, using VISTA WINDOWS HOME PREMIUM. Anyone out there in cyber world-PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Thanks for your note. Glad to get all the help I can with this problem. Apple had me Update the phone several times and then restore the phone 3 times. None of this helped. I have even tried an update and restore wwith the new phone. PS: In your note you mentioned that Apple may have had an issue with video turning off before--did I read that corectly?

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!
