Music Videos in iTunes have audio, but no picture

Recently, I noticed that when I click on a song in iTunes, the audio for the song will play, but not the picture. I have found, however, that by going to View > Video Size, and then clicking on any of the sizes, the picture for the video will appear, but I don't want to do that every time that I want to watch a music video... I'm just looking for a way for me to watch videos by simply double-clicking on the name of the video.
Also, I would like to note that my music videos work perfectly fine on my iPod, it is only iTunes that I'm having a problem with. The only things that I can think of recently for having anything to do with this would be either upgrading to iTunes 8.2 or buying several new music videos.

OMG Kevin thank you so much, I was having the exact same problem and was advised by iTunes Store Support to uninstall iTunes - with a 38 CD backup that would have taken some time, your fantastic solution has saved me so much time - THANK YOU!!!

IPhone Videos on TV - Have Audio but no Video

I recently bought the composite cables for iPhone and hooked them up to my TV so that I can view my videos on it. However I can hear the audio but I cannot see any video on it. I have 4 composite outlets on my TV and I have tried them all. My DVD player plays video on all 4 outlets fine though.
Music plays fine, obviously I do not need video for that.
At first I thought that the yellow composite cable was defective, so I brought it back to exchange at the store, twice. No luck with the other two cables either.
I have tried both NTSC and PAL outputs although I'm pretty sure my TV is NTSC.
A lot of my videos were converted from .avi format to .m4v format. None of the videos were purchased from the iTunes store. Is there something wrong with the conversion? Is there any particular settings (fps, sampling, etc.) that I should convert my m4v files in? Should I just have converted them to .mp4 instead?
I'm just about to buy a Composite to S-video converter so that I can see if I can use that outlet for video instead. But before I blow $30 on it, can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Are you sure you got the "new" cable? I have a cable that plugs into the earphone jack that works with an older iPod, but had to purchase the newer cable to use with my iPhone. The new cable plugs into the usb/sync connection on the bottom. I think it is also possible you may have been sold an older cable that plugs in this way as well. You should check the packaging to see which specific models it is compatible with. If it is not the cable that Apple sells there's a good chance this is your problem.

I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
Place the drive in an external enclosure.
Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

My videos on iPhone 4 do not have audio but my voice memos do. Help!!

My recorded videos do not have audio. My voice memos have no issues. Anyone have suggestions??

make sure that you are not covering the mic on the bottom of the device and top (opposite of lock button) when recording a video.
Other than that, back up in iTunes and RESTORE firware for a clean slated version of the ISPW

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

Sync with iTunes. All content in iTunes can be synced to the iPad this way - select the various tabs in iTunes and select the content within each tab that you want to sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
iOS: Syncing with iTunes.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

Add my own music videos to iTunes

When i add a music video or an episode of TV show to iTunes, it will always file it under the "Movies" tab. The music videos i buy on iTunes will always be filed under "Music Videos"...i have tried playing around to tag my own music videos as "music Videos" in iTunes with no success..Does anyone know what i have to do to get it to work?!!

You can set the kind to "Movie" or "Music Video" as follows:
In the iTunes library find the video and then Right click it / Get Info / Options tab / Video kind and choose.
It would be nice if there were more choices but this may be enough for you.

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

TS1894 After sync my iphone my videos have sound but no picture in quicktime.

My videos that I sync through iTunes have sound but a black screen when trying to watch through Quicktime.

for mirror no
for displaying photos or playing video from supported apps it should work
I have the same cable and the component (same connectors but 5 of them vs. composite's 3 (where 2 being audio))
both my composite and component works with my tv with both my ipod touch 3g iphone4 and ipad2
composite really is the lowests quality format guess it's because of the resolution that it support that it does not support mirror
and the reason iphone4 does not support mirror is because it's video chip don't support converting what it display into H.264 in realtime same reason why only newer macs support airplay mirror too

Where Are My Music Videos In iTunes???

I have gone the extra mile and I went into the "Get Info" of my music videos and I hit the VIDEO tab and placed these into the MUSIC VIDEOS category, yet, on the left hand menu, there isn't a category for MUSIC VIDEOS.
There is a button for MOVIES & TV SHOWS, but where is the link for MUSIC VIDEOS?

I have this same question, and I am sorry to see that no-one has answered it.
There is still a Music Videos category on the iPod, but no way to move the files there based on iTunes 7 which no longer has a category for it.
ALL VIDEOS ARE NOT MOVIES AND TV SHOWS!
More user control would be nice please!
Thanks

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?

Hi dantheman302,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question. If you are talking about watching something that you have previously purchased but is no longer in your iTunes Library for whatever reason, you should be able to redownload it from the iTunes Store in most instances. You may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Can't dowload music video from iTunes

Hoping someone can help me.
I tried downloading a music video from iTunes. I purchased the video, it started downloading and right at the end I got the following message and iTunes just shut down.
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."
An option to send an error report was also given.
There is no record that I purchased the video, but yet when I tried to buy the music video again, i got a message saying that had I already purchased it, but i can't find it anywhere in iTunes or in any of my folders in my computer.
Hope someone can help me out!

Hmm. It should.
Here's the main Download support page. There is a form at the bottom if nothing there helps. It may take a while to get a response. Some weeks they get absolutely swamped.
