I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.

  • The option to play audio book has gone after IOS6 update audio books are on the iphone

    Hi since updating to IOS6 I seem to have lost the ability to play Audiobook, if I go to the Ipod app the option isn't there and hen I connect to my car it says the folder is empty. Is there something I need to do to be able to play audio books. The audible app finds all the books so I know they are there, but doesn't work in the car where I like listening to books on long journeys.

    anilsudhakaran Thanks!  This did the trick.  I guess this was added with the update since this view used to be visible for me without the added step.  Greatly appreciated 

  • I have lost the ability to add audio books to my iPhone 4S

    I had audio books on my iPhone 3, but somehow they didn't transfer to my 4GS. I hadn't missed them until I went on my last trip and they weren't there. They are in iTunes but they go nowhere when I try to transfer them to my iPhone. Also, I don't see an iPod Icon on my screen like the one I had on my old iPhone.

    To sync audiobooks, there is a check box under books in iTunes. Select it and whatever books you want to sync:
    On my 4S, to play audiobooks, I simply go to the music app and under more, I select audiobooks. I don't have the podcasts app so audiobooks and podcasts are played through the music app.

  • My mp4 movie files used to transfer from computer to iPad but now they will not Tried dragging and dropping to iTunes library but won't work anymore Plse help

    I have mp4 movie files that i am trying to transfer to my ipad and it will no longer work.  They will not copy to my iTunes library. I used to be able to transfer/drag and drop converted movies to my iTunes are the mp4 files maybe too big Although I have plenty of space

    Howdy Anastasia,
    I was thinking about why the songs arent importing and I feel that its either, A) the format of the files has changed since you last imported them, or B) you may need to rebuild the iTunes library.
    Here is an article about doing just that:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    Re-creating the iTunes Library file
    Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes Folder
    Mac OS X
    /Users/[your username]/Music
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\
    3. Open your iTunes folder.
    4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" or "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the Desktop. If neither is available, learn how to add files back to the Library (because the XML file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
    5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
    Mac OS X
    "iTunes Library" or "iTunes Library.itl"
    Microsoft Windows
    "iTunes Library.itl"
    6. Open iTunes.
    Important: Do not add any content into iTunes at this point (such as by purchasing something from the iTunes Store).
    7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
    8. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file on the Desktop.
    Mac users: Click Choose.
    Windows users: Click Open.
    If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    Hi, a few hours ago I purchased an "audio book" from i-tunes and i samw the files were downloading on my iPad, but  I cannot find the audio book! What happened?

    HI CEGS,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Audiobooks can be found in your Music app on the iPad.
    I've referenced the section of the iPad User Guide (page 78):

    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Lost the ability to play back...

    Something happened where I'm no longer able to play an ything back in Sountrack Pro multitrack projects. I hit the space bar, press the right arrow in the transport controls, and I get nothing. The timecode doesn't seem to be advancing either. The only thing that will play is the video file.
    This all started when I was trying to replace a clip with audio from the same file. The problem with that was that the volume that I was hearing didn't reflect the changes in the volume automation envelope. That's a separate issue and if you have the answer to that, by all means let me know.
    Anyway, when I replaced that old clip, I lost the ability to play back. Dumping my preferences didn't help and neither did restarting the computer.

    The error was caused by a problem with one of my firewire 800 drives. I tracked it down by trashing STP's preferences and restarting without any peripherals (drives, etc.) plugged in, opening STP (which played correctly), then one by one plugging in the drives until STP started having that issue again.
    In Disk Utility I did "verify Disk" and then "Repair Disk" after it found some errors on the suspect disk. That seems to have cleared things up.

  • 2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

    I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
    I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
    What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
    I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
    Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

  • Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

  • Video files are playing audio without video (just a black screen)

    Video files are playing audio without video. It just shows a blank screen. These same videos work just fine in Chrome, thogh.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

  • Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books

    Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books.
    It seems there are plenty of hacks out there but I have a real life and can't really be bothered with burning a CD with ACC files, etc. or anything else that takes more than half a minute. All I'd really like to do is highlight, click and drop the "music files" into the "Audio Book" library. Is there a simple way to do this? -And for that matter does Apple have a valid reason why this doesn't seem to be consumer friendly?

    Thanks,-This looks like just what the Dr. ordered, :? (Oy, no smileys on this forum?!) Unfortunately I made the somewhat misguided decision a few years ago to buy a pc (+ the 2+ grand of software) -OK, long story short; I need the windows xp equivalent of this script and couldn't find it in any of the sub-links. -But full marks to you for effort!

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.
