Movie not playing correctly in itunes

Trying to play purchased movie from Itunes.  After about 10 minutes of play the display on laptaop begins to flash like a strob light unable to watch movie.  This is only happening in Itunes with purchased movies.  Apple support says may be a microsoft problem or graphic software.  Playing movies on Windows 8 laptop with HD display that is current with  all updates.  Any suggestions anyone.

Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, might be an incompatible extension.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Kid A not playing correctly through iTunes

    I recently ripped the album Kid A by radiohead into iTunes using the .m4a apple lossless file format. However, iTunes does not play the songs correctly. There is a distinct distortion present when playing the songs through iTunes. Using other applications, such as VLC or Safari to play the songs, they work correctly. Is there a fix for this?
    Other information: I have a Mid 2012 Retina Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) and am using iTunes version 11.0.4

    Hello CTRiley,
    I would recommend testing iTunes for 3rd party plugins that may be affecting the playback of these imported songs. Check out this article to help accomplish that.

  • Embedded movies not playing correctly in recorded playback

    60 slides, about a dozen with short movie or animation clips saved as .mov or .m4v files.
    Everything plays correctly in a regular presentation. When I try to do a recording within Keynote using my own timing, all appears to be well, however, when I play back the recorded movie, the animation clips have stalled and stuttered during the recording process.
    I've tried reducing the file sizes, etc.
    Thanks,

  • Why videos do not play correctly in itunes.  They stop and go

    I moved a library to ituenes from another ancient computer which has a centrino duo and the new computer is an i3.  The videos stop and go when played from within itunes.  Outside Itunes with VLC or Quicktime player, they play fine.
    How can I fix this.

  • Why is my itunes downloaded (rented) movie not playing correctly? It keeps freezing

    I rented a movie through iTunes and am trying to watch it right now and it keeps freezing or playing the sound but not the picture...it's very frustrating and iTunes only gives you 24 hours once you play the movie to watch it before it is gone and I'd really like to watch it and not loose my money. Does iTunes have a better support system that allows me to talk to an actually Apple Tech??

    I am having the same problem - it has happened to me twice now on different movies. The video player completely freezes and is useless until the movie that was playing expires the following day. Apple gave my a credit in iTunes, but I would like to be able to watch a movie all the way thorugh, not get another free movie that I can only watch for 10 minutes...

  • Not playing correctly in itunes

    hi, I'm having some trouble with itunes that has only started today. I try to play songs and upon double clicking they do not begin to play, even when clicking the play button at the top still no reaction. All of these songs now appear to have "album artwork non modifyable" in the box to the side, even though last night all artworks were correct. There are a few songs that begin to play, about 50 out of 5000 but these ones just jump the whole way through, to the point where they are indistinguisable. Adding new songs to the libary only gives the same response. Nothing has been installed, and ive tried reinstalling itunes aswel as making sure i have the correct software such as direct X. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    This has happened several times to me since I originally posted. I found it happens when I add more music to a playlist that I already have on my iPad.  Below is a fix. 
    1. Turn off itunes match on your device.  This step is important.
    2. Delete all of the music on your device.  General / Usage / Music
    3. Restart your device.
    4. Turn iTunes Match on
    5. Download the playlist you want.
    I hope Apple fixes this soon.  This fix is not ideal and takes a good bit of time, but it works for now.

  • Why are certain sound files not playing correctly in iTunes?

    I have had iTunes for years and have never had prolonged or unsolvable problems with anything playback related until now. I recently acquired some music, and it plays perfectly when I use WMP. When I added it my iTunes library, however, the audio is compressed during playback and there is a lot of skipping and blips going on in every song. It still plays perfectly in WMP, but not matter what I do the same thing happens in iTunes.
    For reference, here is what the original audio songs like

    I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
    My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
    The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
    And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • MOV files from Ipad not playing correctly in 2010 Windows PPT presentation

    I inserted .mov files taken from Ipad 2 into a.ppt on my work PC. I saved these files to the folder containing all of the videos I am showing in the ppt-- the same folder where the .ppt is located as well.  Then I inserted them as I do all videos (I create ppts often for work) -- and  the clips that are horizontal play fine but the vertical ones do not play correctly- audio and video not in sync.  any remedies?  (using ppt 2010, converted files to wmv, didn't work either).   I should add that when I viewed these files on my PC (by just clicking the file) they play fine, but they are not rotated correctly.  This must have been my fault when I took the videos.  However, when I insert them they are rotated correctly but just don't play right - looks like a Japanese movie.    please help!

  • Some of my songs on itunes are not playing correctly...

    i moved all my music files to my external hardrive, and they were working just fine. but for the last month, some random songs are not playing correctly!! they sound like how a scratched cd sounds (skipping, etc..., and then it just stops and it skips to the next song). the songs were playing perfectly before, it was all of a sudden, and not all, just some of them.)Also, the same songs that are not playing can not be transfered to my ipod... (tear)
    PLEASE HELP!
    (I have itunes 6)

    Well, several people have now replied to this post, but if you mean Apple, the answer is "no". This is a user support forum, and Apple do not provide product support through it.
    If you want to report a problem with something you have purchased, open the iTunes Store and login to your account. On the home page at the very bottom of the screen, you will see a link that says "Purchase History". Click this, and click the "Report a Problem" button and follow the instructions.

    Ive got youtube videos converted to mp3 files on my itunes, they used to play fine but since the recent update they do not play correctly. how can i fix this?

    Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
    If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Aimersoft ripped movies not playing on ATV2

    I use the program Aimersoft DVD ripper to rip movies to my hard drive then I upload them to my iTunes so they'll play on my ATV2.  Haven't had any problems with this until today.  A movie I just ripped will play on my iMac just fine and will show up on my ATV2 screen but when I press play it won't play.  I've checked all of the settings in iTunes for the movies that play correctly and nothing is different in the one that won't play.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!

    May not help but ocaasionally restarting AppleTV/iTunes can actually fix some hiccups with the device.
    If you have used the software without issue in the past, is it possible you've picked the wrong encoding setting/s this time? Might be worth trying again?
    I have no experience with the software you mention and as others have said we can't discuss such things in detail anyway.

  • Final Movie wont play correctly.

    I have a FCE project that contains some clips that have some additional SFX from After Efects, When these clips was imported/created into AE then finished, I would export them as QT movie encoded as animation. I then would import them into FCE and complete the project. I then exported the project as a QT movie encode as animation again. when I uploaded the final movie to youtube it plays fine. however when I copied this same file to a DVD (700 mb+ files sz) via Toaster v6, the dvd will not play correctly. the sounds is fine, but the Video stutters, then catches up, then pauses, then catches up again.
    I thought it was the encoded file (animation) but then I change the final export to NTSC and saved to a CD (400 mb)same thing. I've tried a laptop that was an IBM and the dvd and CD still didn't work correctly. copied these file to the laptop and tried to play them same problems,
    Any chance anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

  • What is the "Download All" button at the bottom of my playlist and why when I select it songs begin downloading and take up my storage space? If I don't download them the songs will not play correctly....

    I have activated iTunes match and iCloud, now when I go to my Music app and choose me 'best' playlist, I see a button at the bottom of the list that says download all.  If I choose this option every song in that playlist begins downloading (near 1,000), this is taking up memory on my phone instead of using the cloud.  If i DO NOT download all of the songs they do not play correctly (skipping certain songs, not playing all the way through, etc.)  What's this all about and what can I do about it?  Why are my songs not just playing through iCloud? I thought that was the point.....

    To be honest, you shouldn't need a great 3G service for it to be able to keep up with a song, but if it's a very weak signal then it could be the problem.
    Unless you have unlimited 3G then I would recommend using wi-fi anyway, as you could easily run into monthly limits otherwise.
    Do you think that it works better with wi-fi than 3G, or just the same? If it is the same then I would have to question whether this is actually your problem.
    As to whether you should download songs beforehand, I would say that as a temporary measure it probably makes sense if it's possible as it will download them anyway and that way you get to listen to the music properly. However it does mean that you have to start downloading before you start listening which may be annoying.
    I'd be interested to hear whether the performance is better with wi-fi than 3g though. It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree.
