Itunes Windows 7 64bit Pauses and Studders while playing movies.

NOTE : I have been having this problem since the last update,  No previous issues before this.
While playing purchased Itunes TV episodes or Movies using itunes, the movie will freeze then "Catch up" in fast foward several times during the playing of the show.  Tried a lot of troubleshooting ideas I have read here with no avail.  Put Itunes into safe mode, re installed intunes and quicktime from scratch .. nothing seems to work..
HELP !!

it actually causes the drive to go into a closed read cycle, and then the drive disappears from my computer and I have to reboot.
Odd. That sounds a bit like a device filter issue. But your filters look fine in your diagnostics.
iTunes 9.1.1.11 was just released today ... I don't see any changes in the package for that that have obvious relevance to a CD burning issue, but it might be worth trying an update, just in case. (There's a library file update with this one, so it may take a while for your iTunes to launch the first time you launch it after the update.)

  • ITunes skips and delays while playing movies.

    Often while playing movies on iTunes the video will freeze while audio still runs. When I try to skip ahead to another part of the movie, the screen blacks out entirely, while still playing audio. I have OS X Lion and iTunes 10.5.2 and otherwise the program runs fine for music. Any ideas or comments?

    Update.  No skipping via my two sets of airtunes speakers plugged into airport express.  Only skipping on my USB Soundsticks plugged directly into my iMac.
    Thanks!

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

    Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Slow respond and lag while playing game

    Slow respond and lag while playing game, some time will also auto drop out to main menu page, the worse case will hang up. Compare to iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G(using the same version SW and playing the same game), my iPhone 3G will only having these problem, it is surprising why iPhone 2G speed is more faster and smoothly than iPhone 3G? Did apple can release new update version SW to solve this issue, or apple can adding selection in Setting application to allow user to turn off all un-applicable application to speed up iPhone 3G? Thanks and looking for respond!

    I know I am not addressing Apple here, I would like to do so, but I don't know how to reach them. I just want to share my experiance and would like to know did this is because of my 3G iPhone problem, or all 3G iPhone will having the same phenomena like me? I had try to reset the phone, but it is not work. But I found a way to increasing the speed, it is switch to Airplane Mode. But if switch iPhone to Airplane Mode then only able to speeding up, then the iPhone will became an Ipod Touch and not anymore an iPhone again.

  • Strange green screen problem while playing movie

    For the first time I purchase a movie from iTunes Store, As I started playing it neither I could hear the sound nor I could see the video but after much of effort of re-starting my iTunes and MacBook, it started to play but while playing the movie if I shift to full screen mode, a strange green screen appears for a second or two and then plays normally and if while playing I return back to normal screen, the green screen never goes, then again I have to stop the movie and restart iTunes to be able to play back the movie normally. Does anyone have any idea about this strange problem?

    Hi Maen Abdulhaq,
    “When I start games like Red Alert2 and a lot others”, ” I don't think that this is a manufacturer problem since it's very common to all those having windows 7 x64 and trying to play such games”
    Did this issue occur in the whole games or just the Red Alert2 in your machines ?
    “unfortunalety windows compatibility settings”
    Have you tried in windows 98 or lower compatibility mode, please ensure you have choose run as an administrator?
    Apart from this ,I recommend you to try this method.
    create a shortcut of "Yuri.exe" (or "Game.exe" if running normal RA2), and place it on the desktop. Open the properties, and in the target line add "-dxlevel 8" to the end. It should look like this (or similar if you're directories
    are different).
     "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2\YURI.exe" -dxlevel 8
    Meanwhile,  entering Intel HD Graphics control panel (via Windows Control Panel or right-clicking the desktop) and enter Power section. Choose "High performance" mode.
    If the issue persists, I recommend you to disable one graphic card from the device manager to have a check considering you have two graphic cards.
    Best regards

  • ITunes seems to be skipping/hiccuping while playing music during browisng.

    Hello Everyone
    So for the past month or so I experience intermittent "hiccuping" while playing music through iTunes on my PC.  Songs don't skip in the traditional sense of skipping from one song to the next ... instead it's more like a blurp/drag.  It lasts for about a second or two and then it stops.  It happens mostly when I'm web-browsing.  I've tried using another browser but nothing seems to help.  my PC is three years old and it came with Windows 7.  I've used Windows 8 since it became available so I guess that's about two years now, I'm on to Windows 8.1.  My system has a 1TB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X4 640 3GHZ processor (I don't know much about processor specs but I thought I'd include it to be as thorough as possible).  Of the TB of Hard Drive space, I've used less than 40% of it.  I've run virus scans, malware scans, I've made sure my defrags and Windows updates are up to date.  There was recently an update to iTunes in the last day or so - and I was really hoping this would be fixed - but the problem seems to be getting worse. 
    I'm to the point where I'm ready to download Google Play and just use iTunes solely for syncing my iPhone 5s.  I cannot continue to put with playing music in iTunes with this problem.  I'm at my wit's end.  I've considered "dumping" everything on to an external hard drive, wiping my system and starting fresh ...
    Anyone have any thoughts, ideas?

    It may just be your DVD player. I have found
    this
    with some of my DVDs. They work fine on my player
    and
    skip on others.
    That results from a high level of burn errors as a
    result of low quality media and/or high burn
    speeds.
    Hmm, maybe. I never (knowingly) use crappy media.
    I always use Imation discs (mainly because they are
    fully printable - and I thought they were meant to be
    good quality). Also, I cant see where to change the
    burn speed. I always burn a disc image and then use
    Disk Utility to burn a disc. It just does it
    automatically and doesn't seem to offer any choices.
    How can I get it to burn at slower speed? I'd
    prefer not to use third party software if poss.
    OK, you've got me worried now.
    I've just checked this
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    and think I'll be off tomorrow to buy some new discs.
    Thanks for alerting me.

  • Crash and restart while playing audio book with Media player

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to play an audio book (approx. 4 1/2 hours length) ind m4b-format.
    This file plays well with iPod, SE K850i and iTunes on Mac.
    The file begins tp play properly on my Curve too.
    But when I try to go to some part of the book after around 3h or later (by using the scroll bar of the media application),
    I sometimes get a prompt telling me, that I'm using a invalid file format (though Media plays it from 0h on without problems).
    In addition, the Blackberry freezes, the LED on top lights red and the Blackberry restarts!! Wow!
    I can reproduce this with different audio books, all playing well on the other devices I use.
    The m4b files are creaated with Audio Book Builder and contain no DRM rights as they are not downloaded from iTunes Store or audible.
    I'm using a Blackberry Curve 8310 v4.2.2.176
    Micro Edition Media Version 1.1 
     Allthough I think that my curve should crash while playing a simple audio book, I would even be gladif you could lead me to a third-party software which supports audio-books properly, so at least I can
    hear my Audio books while there is no patch for the curve available which solces the problem natively. 
    Allthough I think that my curve should crash while playing a simple audio book.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You are talking about a specific audio file format : m4b. It stands for "MPEG4, Part 14", which is not currently supported by the Blackberry Curve. The list of supported file formats, including mp3 and "MPEG4, Part 2", is available here :
    Supported media files
    I don't know if there is a Blackberry application that can read that m4b format. You can, on your PC, convert the m4b file into a regular mp3 file, then transfert the mp3 file to your blackberry. There are many free tools to do that, I'll give you one : LameDrop. Its a small square, you drag'n'drop your files on it et voilà.

  • ITunes playback skips, pauses and distorts

    Recently I haven't been able to use my itunes for playback through my desktop because the songs pause and skip, and in some cases I get loud distortion or static. Previously it had been working fine for 18 months. I deleted the program and downloaded it afresh: the first song was OK but then the problem recurred. My operating system is XP. Can anybody suggest a solution?
    Other programs on the computer are working normally although possibly a bit slower than they were. Are there viruses or other nasties which attack iTunes in particular?

    Problem was with iTunes libary (xml) file and not Firefox. Once I rebuilt my library from scratch, iTunes no longer skipped.

  • Cracks and pops while playing anything "above" stereo

    Hi!
    First of all I have read the sticky about this issue but did not find anything that I think applies.
    I recently had a misshappen with my old HTPC (the PSU burned, taking with it the mobo, processor and two harddri'ves ?<img alt="Shocked[/img] src="http://ac3filter.net/forum/Smileys/amunet/shocked.gif">) and I had to build a new box. The specs are the following:
    Antec Fusion Remote
    Gigabyte MA78GM-UD2H
    Athlon 64 X2 7850
    2GB Kingston HyperX 066MHz DDR2
    500GB Caviar Blue SATA2
    X-Fi Extreme Audio
    Now the problem (which I have tried to research before posting this) is that every now and then the sound will pop and crackle when playing anything "above" stereo. The signal will cut out so to speak, the amp will lose the connection momentarily to recieve it half a second or so later. At first I thought that grounding might be the issue but as I said normal stereo-stuff like mp3's, youtube etc work without any problems.
    The soundcard is from my old HTPC and has worked flawlessly and the same thing goes for the cable (analogue to coax from the digital I/O of the X-Fi with SPDIF enabled).
    It happens in VLC, MPCHC and XBMC. So both with AC3 Filter and VLC's internal encoder.
    The reason I'm using the X-Fi and not the internal Realtek is that I can not for the life of me get it to work hehe. It is disabled from the BIOS.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: Using Windows XP SP3 with newest drivers for the X-Fi.

  • Volume issue with new 30G IPOD and Dock while playing through a stereo.

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, I recently purchased a 30G Video IPOD and Dock. While playing through my Stereo I notice that 1) I have to turn up the volume on the IPOD to more than 50% and volume on the receiver to over 50% also and 2) the varience in volume of some of the songs varies consideably. I played by IPOD at a friends home through his Dock and stereo and he controlled through the volume control only on his stereo (same Onkyo as mine), it overode the IPOD volume control. His Dock is about a year old, seems strange that when I use my Dock on his stereo it requires the volume use on BOTH the IPOD and the Stereo. So it would appear that his older Dock is more convenient to use than my new Dock? The fluctations in volume of the odd song is still evident on his stereo as it is on mine.Any comments anyone? Thanks in advance. Larry

    Make sure Soundcheck on the iPod is enabled.
    I recall a few other people have mentioned the volume control on the iPod affected the volume out the back of the Universal dock.
    I have the older dock and it is not affected by the Volume control of the iPod.

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
    More information:
    My Hauppauge HD PVR settings are set to custom. Video Constant Bit Rate, the average bit rate: 13.5 Mbps. The audio is AAC.

  • Adding markers and info while playing

    I recall seeing a marketing bullet about how you could now add markers and info during playback on FCP6.
    I can't figure out how this actually works, if it does.
    Is there a way to drop a marker while playing back AND add info into the dialog box that normally pops up if you hit the tilda twice?
    Can't find ANY info about this.

    That is a feature of FCP 7...not 6.
