ITunes won't let me watch videos.

I have imported a film, from disk, on to my Mac. It says that it is an MPEG4 and the file extension is .mp4. However, when I try and drag it into iTunes, nothing happens and the videos I already had on there won't play. I recently upgraded to a newer version of iTunes, and this is when I realised that videos won't play. Is there anything I can do?

  • Safari won't let me watch videos on youtube. Why?

    Safari wont allow me to watch majority of the videos on youtube. Why is this?
    What can i do?
    Also is there anything i can do to download flash? It won't let me do that either.

    Hi ...
    Since most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin, uninstall the old then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Then try a video.
    FYI... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

  • My iPad Air won't let me watch videos I bought because it says my billing is wrong but it is not

    Hi my iPad Air won't let me play the videos I bought because it says my billing address is invalided but it is not, I think it's something to do with security code

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.

  • ITunes won't let me watch rented movies!

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes message says I can't watch rented movies and recommended another QT version that I can't remember. What should I do? Note: in Systems Profiler, I have QT 7.5.5 in Apps and in Frameworks.

    Apparently a lot of people have reading comprehension issues.  I have the same problem as op except I use first generation appleTV.  So for you slow people let me spell it out.
    If you are trying to purchase movies on iTunes (this is the important part so pay attention) running on a computer that does not support HD you are NOT able to purchase HD movies.  The message that pops up says you cannot purchase HD movies on a computer that does not support HD. 
    The question the OP was asking and I have this question also is why does it matter if the computer I am buying the movie on supports HD when the intent is not to play the movie on the computer in the first place.  AppleTV does support HD and streams from itunes on the computer.

  • New adobe flash won't let me watch video without allowing tracking what do i do?

    Anyone have any fixes for abode flash player invading viewing on many streaming video sites? It seems the latest version won't allowing viewing on most sites without allowing them to track me. I realize it may be the site doing this but it didn't start happening until I downloaded the most recent adobe version this morning.
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by "allowing tracking" -- is the problem that you can't disable local storage objects (LSOs, also sometimes called supercookies)??
    By the way, you probably should remove the extension "Updated Ad Blocker for Firefox 11+" because Adblock Plus is now much more up-to-date and having them both do overlapping things will make blocked content problems much harder to sort out.
    You can manage extension on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.

    Security code in iTunes or on AppleTV 2?
    Making rentals/purchases from new devices forces you to verify security details in iTunes.  I can't remember if I could enter the 3 digit security code on AppleTV2 direct but i had to do it with AppleTv 1 via itunes the other day.
    I could not get it to accept my changes until i relaised it wanted me to enter my 'title' which had previously been set - for some reason it wasn't now and I put something else in and it still worked!

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

  • Macbook pro won't download adobe and won't let me watch youtube videos

    i just got a macbook pro for christmas and it won't let me watch any youtube videos. it tells me to get the latest adobe flash player. I've tried downloading it multiple times, but it still won't work.. Help!.

    Hey there, the exact same thing happened to me last night except for not being able to download adobe. Just make sure your connected to the internet(I know you probably are) and try downloading. I don't have an answer as to why you may not be able to download anything but for what it's worth, if you get to download adobe - install adobe then I close everything, restart, then it will all work
    I hope this helps you my friend

  • Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes.

    Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes. Previous version worked fine. I tried to "add file to library" nothing. I've tried to drag the file....nothing. Just a red circle with a line through it. Any suggestions?

    These sound like interrelated problems that are probably system errors/issues on your computer.   I see you are already pursuing them here  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16835461#16835461

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

  • Why is YouTube not letting me watch videos

    MY iPod touch YouTube app is not letting me watch videos on it can someone please help??

    Like what happens when you try to play a video with the You Tube app?
    Also try:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
    Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
    Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up

  • ITunes won't let me drag and drop music

    I have converted files from YouTube to mp3 and then put them in my iTunes library... but iTunes won't let me put them into my phone. I have manually manage music selected and it has allowed me to do so in the past (maybe 2 weeks ago). I'm just really frustrated now because I don't like syncing my entire library because iTunes somehow manages to forget the majority of my music's artwork which is important since I paid for all but 3 of the songs in my library. Help?

    Also, you may have to do this since the iPod may think the rebuilt computer is a new computer/iTunes library. Otherwise, you will only be able to manage videos and music manually.
