Movies, TV Shows from iTunes Store Choppy

Every movie or TV show I get from the iTunes Store has choppy sound - especially in the beginning. This has been a problem as long as I've been purchasing from them, through several iTunes and OS updates. I kept hoping - assuming - they'd eventually fix this, but no dice.
I see that many others have a similar problem with video in iTunes, but haven't seen a solution. Anybody know how to fix this?

  • Movies & TV shows from iTunes Store won't sync to TV

    I have a late 2009 TV 160GB and I have recently noticed that all of my movies and TV shows that I have bought from the iTunes store are not on the TV anymore. My computer s authorised and I am logged into my iTunes account on the TV. I have tried erasing it and restoring it's factory settings but nothing will work. I have made sure that all the checkboxes on the movies and shows are checks and have re-synced the TV and they are still not appearing. Please help, this is getting really frustrating.

  • My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.

  • How to watch rented TV shows from iTunes Store

    I just tried renting a TV show from the iTunes store on the ATV 2 for the first time, and I am unable to find the show in order to play it. I clicked on the "Rent" it asked me to login to my iTunes account, and then it asked me to enter the security code from the back of my credit card on file with the iTunes store. I did all that, and then it just went back to the screen where you can preview the show or rent it again. I checked my bank account and it was charged the $.99. I checked to see if there were any purchases available for download on the ATV by click Settings > General > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. I never saw any progress bar or anything else indicating it was downloading. Is there a separate place you can go in the ATV to see movies and shows you have recently rented and are still available to watch? The episode I tried renting now has a blue circle next to it, and if I highlight it and push the play button on the remote, it just plays the 30 second preview. If I hold down the play button it just lets me mark the episode as watched.

    No problem, and that's totally understandable. They wouldn't charge again until you've reached expiry (30 days unwatched, 24/48hrs once you've hit play)

  • Downloading movies & tv shows from iTunes shops other than the US

    I download from the Danish & Canadian iTunes stores. I was just wandering if any time soon we who download from the other iTunes stores will get the opportunity to download movies & tv shows.
    I am feeling really left out!!!!!! : (

    The usual answer is that the copyright holders are holding the cards. It is their decision as to what can be sold in which iTS. I am sure that Apple would love to have just one store for everyone.
    No one knows when video and TV Shows will be available in iTS other than the US.

  • Error 50 or freeze when watching a movie while downloading from itunes store since version 10.6 (windows 7 64bit).

    When I am downloading a tv show and try to play it at the same time, not matter the remaining time of the download, itunes stop the download with an error after a couple of minutes. (error 50.) Somethimes, it just freeze instead. I am able to resume the download and watch again till the next stop.
    I have no problem just playing or just dowloading, only when doing both. I have this problem since version 10.6 only. This affect all my new downloads since then.
    My first guest would be  a hard drive saturation that can't handle the load. Maybe  itunes stop downloading when the hard drive is too busy. But again, never had this problem before. It it was the case, the playing should stop, not the download !
    My config is iunes 10.6.040, windows 7 64 bits.
    Thanks for your help.

    This has been happening on my Windows 7 64-bit computer as well same exact problem with the latest version of iTunes. It does look like they have some kind of bug in this new version where the downloading process just dies when it has to deal any I/O wait from file playback, really a bad bug as this is a core function of iTunes that shouldn't have gotten through the testing process.  I have to say that iTunes is one of the buggiest pieces of software I have ever used in my entire life, all kinds of regressions and bugs with every update and they are on version 10.6.x !  Apple must have some poor developers in the iTunes team, hey guys put down the bong and chips and actually establish a standard continuous integration and testing process with good test coverage for iTunes! You shouldn't have regressions on such core functionalities especially with a software as mature as this, what's going on? Or is it that you've been instructed to make the software a crappy as possible for Windows so everyone goes to buy a Mac and OS X?
    More bugs just off the top of my head in the latest iTunes 10.6.x:
    - In the download screen when you double click to playback a movie while it is downloading, if you pause the movie the play button goes grey, you cannot start playing the paused movie again without quitting the movie and clicking to start it again from iTunes
    - The next/prev chapter buttons during movie playback don't work at all anymore, they simply crash the movie, close the window and go back to iTunes
    - Many times after getting the unknown error -50 or -39 because you tried to play a movie while it was downloading, when you go back to the download window to restart the download iTunes loses all the downloaded movie content it had it starts over for no apparent reason!  Wonderful!
    For a company that sells/rents really expensive movies and music you would expect a really high standard go into the software development process, apparently shareholders are more important than customers.

  • Tv shows from itunes store not copying to ipod

    i bought tv shows from the itunes store a while back, they have been on my 5th gen. ipod (30gig) since. i updated my ipod yesterday, went to use it and found that about 4 of 5 of them were missing. i tried to manually copy them to th ipod, but itunes wouldnt let me. i am running itunes 7 & have the second to latest ipod software. if anyone has a similar problem or can solve my issue please let me know immediately.

    ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

  • Tv shows from itunes store-what.......

    what format are the tv shows that people download from itunes in? are they in wmp format? do they have any sort of licence that says you can only watching the tv show a specific number of times or the tv show can only be watching for a certain number of days?

    I recently upgraded to itunes 7.0.2 and the tv shows I've recently downloaded have been unwatchable. The playback is too choppy to watch. I believe its a combination of the newer DRM and itunes 7 upgrade.
    I would recommend downloading one recent tv show as a sample to see if you will have problems with playback.
    My computer specs are AMD Sempron 2500 with 512Ram and Windows 2000. I have no problems watching full-screen x264 video files. So I'm guessing the new version of the DRM is too much for my computer to decode without choppy playback.

  • TV Shows from iTunes Store not syncing to iPad

    Hi Guys,
    I am having problems syncing my TV Shows from my iTunes.
    The issue arrose when I purchased a TV Show series on my iPad on the iTunes Store. I downloaded the new show directly to the iPad over wireless but what happened was the new episodes replaced all my other TV shows except two. ie I had mulitple copies of the same TV series where my other shows use to be. I tried syncing it to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro but it didn't fix it. Then I decided to wipe the iPad and set it up as a new one. When I did that the same thing happened again.  My iTunes seems all normal.
    Any ideas?

    ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

  • How do I restart a movie I rented from iTunes store?

    Didn't finish watching movie and can't restart the film.  AppleTV keeps looking for authorization of computer that the film was downloaded to.  When I attempt to authorize iTunes says the computer is already authorized.  Cannot restart from either my computer or Apple Tv.  Would like to finish watching movie.  Any ideas??

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

  • -error 34 when downloading TV show from iTunes Store

    Since the firmware update 10 days ago all previous problems with AirDisk (dropping external HD, corrupted files) are gone. So, I again changed my iTunes library location to AEB connected HD and for over a week didn't have any problems downloading movies and TV shows to that location.
    Until now. Today, out of blue -error 34, disk full....
    What a heck happened? Nothing I tried fixes it. I need some serious help, please.

    I'll ask the obvious question... how much free space is on the hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?

  • About changing iTunes/Apple ID Accounts country without losing  old app,songs,movies and TV shows bought  from iTunes store.

    this question is for Apple Inc,
    i will like to know if i can change my account country? Can i still access my purchased items such music,apps,movies,or software from iTunes store?

    You cannot carry the money from one country account to another.  But content you have downloaded to your device remains on the device, updating things like apps will require that you return to the country store where the download originated.
    The stores operate as separate entities, but content you have does not leave or get deleted.
