Music Videos are corrupt after download

The symptom:  I had successfully downloaded dozens of music videos from the iTunes Store. Then, approximately a month ago, every new music video I download has the same symptom: At aproximately 35 seconds into the video, there is a one second pause and then "stutter and blockiness"  for the rest of the video. I am running 10.8.2, against a Cable modem connection of > 20 Mbps, on an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM. The video bit rates are approximately 1600 kbps. I have scrubbed through the file "one frame at a time" directly in Quicktime, and corruption is in the video file itself. That is, it's not a playback error. The audio is fine.
What I've tried: 
a) I have deleted the downloaded video from my library and then re-downloaded, but get the same "stutter and blockiness."
b) I have deleted the file from my library and *played from the cloud," and *still* get the "stutter and blockiness."
c) I created a new (empty) library, but both i) playing from the cloud, and ii) downloading and playing, produce the same"stutter and blockiness".
d) I created a new user on my iMac, and then a new library, and I can successfuly download the video!
e) With the same new user, if I use an alias to refrerence my old library, I can also successfuly download the video!
How in the heck do I figure what is "wrong" with my old user/settings? (I seem to have limited the issue to 'this user on this iMac.')
I am stumped.
Has anyone else seen this?
What did you do to fix?

my suggestion would be to re download the specific videos that this is happening to. As well make sure you have the latest version of itunes and quicktime. Maybe this will work. Give it a shot. hope all goes well.

  • All zip attachments are corrupt after downloading.

    Hi there,
    One of our content providers wants to link to a zip file from within a SCORM package.
    After importing and publishing in exactly the same way as normal the zip file is always corrupted after a user downloads it.
    Has anyone been able to get around this?

    Hi there,
    We have a custom Netweaver portal for LSO that is designed to only work with IE. So i am unable to test with another browser.
    I have tried republishing the package several times and each time the zip is corrupted.
    I have tried this with self built SCORM packages and even packaged a zip as an attachment within an Articulate package and everytime the zip is invalid/corrupted.
    I tested the zip by opening the package prior to publishing with Authoring Environment and the zip is okay, it is only after it is published through the repository that it is corrupted.
    Cheers for any help or advice you can offer.

  • My videos are missing after downloading iso8

    after I downloaded ISO 8 onto my iPad, I no longer have a video album in my photos.  Does anyone know how I can find my videos?

    That's odd, because I had videos too, and a Video album showed up on my new iOS 8 setup. You might have to go to your backup you did just before doing the upgrade to iOS 8.

  • Apps, some music, videos are gone after the ios5 update

    Hello, mates.
    1. I am wondering how I can get all my apps back. About 30 apps worth about 50 bucks are gone. Some of them can be downloaded back for free (I bought them) on appstore, but some seem to require repurchase (only buy option is available in the appstore for the apps that I bought long time ago).
    2. Some of the songs (the ones that cannot be downloaded on itunes, so I downloaded them from torrents. (folk, russian, kazakh, and etc)) were erased from my iphone 4. They are not present at the itunes (I updated today), neither in my playlists, nor in the general music folder. How can I get them back?
    3. I bought a couple movies a long time ago for my ipad. I then gave it to my little brother as a present (he blackmailed me, lol), and started using his own apple id. Is there a way I could download the same movies for my new macbook or iphone 4 without having to pay again?
    4. I have a second apple id that has a lot of shows. How can I download these shows on my macbook without having to erase my current itunes lib?

    Siri isn't supported on the iPad 2.

  • Music and videos gets corrupted after syncing

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. It first started when I was using an old laptop to sync my iPod touch 4th gen. Not just syncing, just transferring music and videos. But the videos get corrupted after transferring the file from the laptop to ipod. I thought it was the cable but as soon as used a faster laptop, the videos were transferred without any corruption issues. I reformattd the laptop as it might have some malware or other softwares interrupting the usb transfer but it still gets corrupted. So I thought, the communication between pc and the new ipod system might be too much for an old intel core duo @ 1.6ghz to handle.
    Now, I am using a laptop with intel core 2 duo @ 2.0ghz. The corruption issue is now returning. The music can be played but when playing, it seems like it's jumping, stuttering or something. Please note that it can be played but it sounded like a bad interrupted download.
    For the old laptop, the videos are usually the ones the gets corrupted. For the new laptop, it happened recently during a massive sync I performed. I wonder if there's a usb buffer thing that gets full.
    Anyway, is there a way to prevent this or check which mp3s are corrupted? I have plan to copy all the mp3s using TouchCopy, then compare the mp3s to my source mp3 using BeyondCompare.

    You can't copy music from a i device to a Mac computer. Only from a Mac computer to a i device. So you will have to copy over your iTunes library from your old computer to your new Mac.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes

    my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software

    No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
    The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
    Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
    Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
    Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
    It will have an address something like this:
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
    So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
    Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?
    Best wishes,

  • All music links are lost after installing windows 7!!! HELP!!!

    All music links are lost after installing windows 7!!! HELP!!!
    I upgraded my system to windows 7 ultimate from Vista and installed itunes 64px. but when I copy the old itunes folder into D://music and opened itunes, all my music cannot be played. each link shows the mp3 location as: file://localhost/D://music/itunes... ... I ve tried deleting library file and copy/past the original one again. doesn't work. what should I do now. It's 106 GB songs. I cannot locate them one by one nor lose all my ratings and play counts.
    please help me!!!!!!!! >_<

    Was that Win 7 update from Lenovo, or Microsoft?  If Lenovo, it should have installed those missing features. If it was from Microsoft, you have to manually install the Lenovo drivers and software.
    The easiest way to do that is to first install ThinkVantage System Update and run it.  It should download and install the other drivers and apps.  I'm running Win 7 pro 64 on my T400 - a MS upgrade clean install, then TVSU installed the Lenovo stuff.  Everything works.
    Use the "SUPPORT" button at the top of this page, then "Download drivers and software" enter T400, install TVSU and you should be off to the races.

  • $50 worth of my movies/music videos are gone

    I bought roughly $50 worth of music videos/movies on iTunes, and this happened: They were all downloading, but there was more then one of each of them, for example, it said "GI Joe" multiple times (It wasn't the special features part either) same exact thing, over and over. They downloaded (kind of) But when I clicked on the movie part, there was about 10 of the same "GI Joe" movies there, none of them would play. In the end, my computer crashed, and when I opened up iTunes again, $50 worth of movies/music videos are gone. I'm extremely upset and don't know what to do. The downloaded and processing was completed.

    First, relax. Sometimes everything doesn't go perfectly.
    If you bought the HD version, the SD version downloads as well so that you can watch on an ipod, if you so choose.
    You can go to Store>Check for Available downloads
    If this doesn't work then go to purchase History, click "Report a Problem" and report the problem. Apple will resolve within a day. You could also e-mail itunes support:

  • I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • ITunes Match music videos are ineligible, how can I get them back onto my iPod?

    Hi,
    I subscribed to iTunes Match earlier today, turned it on and did the same on my ipod touch but have now discovered all my music videos are ineligible and can't be tansfered via iCloud. It wont allow me to sync my iPod via USB cable. Is there anyway I can get my videos back onto my iPod? Thanks

    I'm looking into this as well. Most of my videos were purchased from apple and showed up originally. But, I had a lot of problems with the tags in my regular music and had to more or less purge my iCloud library. Afterwards, I had the same problem as you. iTunes would no longer match the iTunes purchased music videos.
    Anyhow, there is a quick way to get them transfered to your iPod.
    Right click on the videos and use "Get Info" to change them to a "TV Show."
    You can also set the "Show" to something like "Music Videos."
    I also set all then music videos grouping to "Music Video."
    Created a smart playlist that just listed all things grouped as such.
    Make sure Sync TV Shows is checked.
    I may have left a step or two out. But, you should be able to handle the rest from there.
    This is what I'm doing at least until I find a better solution.

  • My movies appear through AppleTV, my music videos are ok, but my own videos do not appear

    My videos are not appearing through AppleTv. I hear the music but no video. However, my music videos are ok and regular movies are ok. The videos I created are the issue. They were running ok until I updated the software for AppleTV.

    hey, same thing happended to me, i transfer some videos and worked perfectly, then i transfer more videos and the first ones showed up without that icon u said, that designates that they are videos, and when i play them they where just sound, no video, then i plug ipod back to pc and now the new videos dont show up with the icon!! and they are not on the videos section, i think they are lost on the ipod mixed with music files.
    what can i do bout this?

  • I just purchased a new macbook pro 13" and my music videos that I've downloaded from itunes are distorted and choppy!

    I'm having issues after downloading certain songs that they are choppy while trying to play them through itunes or quicktime. I just bought my macbook pro and am dissappointed in it's inability to do a simple task like replay downloaded music videos. It's only certain videos and it happens at the same point everytime. I thought it was a energy saver setting at first or something to do with itunes but I've tried playing it in quicktime and it did the same thing. Did my downloaded videos get corrupted? because they work just fine on my ipad.

  • Russian video podcasts are deleted after downloading

    Hello,
    I am using iTunes 10 and have a problem. When I subscribe to any Russian video podcast I can't download it. Actually iTunes downloads the file but it doesn't appear in the podcasts tab and it shows an exclamation mark next to it. Audio podcasts are OK. I think, the problem is related with Russian names of the podcasts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Usually, no. Since this is a user-to-user forum, Apple do not usually take part in the discussions. I'm not convinced they would be able to add to what I suggested previously, which is that you contact the producer of one of the Podcasts affected.
    I'm not sure where the temporary folder (that you mention) is located, but that would be standard for any download. The part completed file would be downloaded to somewhere and then possibly transferred to the correct folder (by iTunes) after the download has finished.
    The important thing is the message you see -
    "There is a problem with adding this podcast. This file may be corrupted or have an unsupported format"
    which suggests that the file is faulty before iTunes tries downloading it or that it is in a format the will not play in iTunes or on an iPod. Since the file (Podcast) you are trying to download is not produced by iTunes or Apple, is not stored or held by iTunes or Apple and is not the responsibilty of iTunes or Apple, but is downlaoded directly from the producer's server, that's why I suggested that you contact the producer.
    Even if it's every Podcast you try - contact one of them and see what happens. Even if the problem turns out to be an Apple issue; if or when the Podcast producers solve the problem, you will then know what to say to other Podcast producers when you contact them.
