My movies wont't play on iTunes 11

Hi,
My movies won't play on itunes 11 (if i scroll the timeline it can show still images but do not play).
With the previous version it worked fine.
it's running on a mac mini freshly reinstalled with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
The movies bought on itunes store play fine.
The others m4v h.264(x264) with ac3 sound no.
Regards

The files are also saved as .m4v . I don't know what this means but for example, a tv show that won't play in iTunes 10.4.1 (10) is Isobel.m4v
Please help me!!!

Movies will not play on itunes

Movies will not play on itunes on windows 7, itunes keeps crashing. Have updated several times but still crashes.

Rented movies do not play in iTunes.

Its just a black screen and the time counter wont move. The rented movies play fine on my iPad, also purchased movies/tv-shows plays fine. This all happened after installing Lion. Someone with similar experiences? Or with any sollutions?

You did try tapping on one of them in that list in the iPod app! This has happened to me and I was able to start the movie from there. You could try restarting the iPad, go into the iPod app and try again.
Now I'm stumped unless it is a corrupt download. You did download right onto the iPad - correct? If you downloaded in iTunes, there is a Move tab or function that you have to select to transfer the movies to the iPad when you sync. They just don't sync over without selecting move.

Movies no longer play in iTunes or ATV

I installed the software update for iTunes 11.1.5.5 and now movies (m4v from Handbrake) stored on my PC no longer play in iTunes or Apple TV. These have been playing fine for years, so I'm guessing that 11.1.5.5 has something in it that suddenly doesn't like this format anymore. I can still see my whole library in ATV, covers and all, but when I hit play, I just get the spinning icon. In iTunes, it's just a black screen with the timer staying at zero. Music still plays fine on both devices. I'm frustrated at myself to no end for installing the update. As well, I cannot fine a single complaint of this same issue. I'm hoping that might be because there's a simple fix (long shot I know). Anyone else having issues? Any ideas? Please remember that this file format has been playing without issue for years, so please don't suggest that I change the format unless you know for sure that is a new concern with playback. Thank you.

Well, in case anyone is reading this and willing to offer ideas, I did uninstall iTunes 11.1.5.5 and re-installed the last full version I had saved 11.1.1.11 (not really sure of the last version I was on before everything stopped working). Nothing was lost during the re-install (all libraries, playlists and such are still as they were....I was expecting this not to be the case). However, this process didn't change the video playback problem. I'm at a loss of what this could be. I went through the audio issues mentioned on another thread and did the recommendations, with no change. I did manage to find a few videos that still do play. The only difference I could see is that they are listed as "low complexity" and in stereo. I suppose it probably is an audio thing, though I have no idea why it's an issue now, when it never has been in the past. Please help. Thank you.

Some movies no longer play in iTunes

I rip a lot of my DVDs/BR's and put them onto my external drive to play in iTunes and on my Apple TV. I noticed that some of my HD movies will play on my Apple TV, but they won't play in iTunes. I can skip to various scenes and iTunes just stays on that frame - it doesn't play. Oddly, Quicktime X and and other media player will play the movie. I had no issues in ML, this just happened after upgrading to Mavericks.
Any ideas?

It seems to be a perian problem.
Modified it like said on this post (for other reasons) : https://code.google.com/p/subler/issues/detail?id=404#c12
Completed by this link : http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/converting-blue-ray-discs-andor-mkvs-ipad-ipho ne-–-part-iii
For me it solved the problem (Mavericks on a macbook pro 3.1).
Hope it does for you too.

Movies which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. How so?

Movies converted from MKV via Handbrake which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. Funny is that Quicktime and Ipad 2 handles subtitles correctly on the same moviefile.
(please note that the subtitles are not burned into movie)
What can be the problem?
Has anyone suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Digital Disney movies will not play in iTunes 12.1.1

Digital Disney movies will not play when selecting play. I've used space bar, left and right laptop mouse button and enter. The other menu options have no issues. It's got to be only with the iTune extra when redeeming from Disney Blu-ray.

Well, I uninstalled the iTunes software and reinstalled the software. The songs in question are still not recognized. When I had unstalled the iTunes software, I went into "Program Files" and to the "iTunes" folder. Nothing was in the folder except a plugin for Last.fm. I had not removed that. Upon reinstallation, I tried to play the songs again in iTunes and they still to not play (nor do they even load). Any idea as to what this may be?

Certain movies won't play in itunes

Need help, got about 25 digital copies movie in my itunes and 3 of them won't play. The screen with the play button appear but the movie doesn't start. I tried to delete it from the library and re-download it with the cloud but still no response.

Here is what a -50 error means:
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

2 of my movies aren't playing on itunes

Not all movies will be available in iCloud since not all movie studios have agreed. Even those that did have not licensed all content.

and i seem to be going fine with it, but when it came to
includeing this into a flash web site,
i came across this issue, the way i have the site set up, is
each button " adventures" "photos"
etc.. each button takes you to a different location in the
time line, but it seems once
the gallery movie has loaded, no matter where else on the
time line i got to , it will keep playing.
even thoguh it isnt actually on the frame it is playing it
on.
this may be a little confusing.. but IM VERY CONFUSED.
can any one help with this? or do you have simpler way of
doing what im trying to do ?
any help would be great!
cheers.

Help, Downloaded movies wont appear on my itunes how do it get it to work?

So as the question states i've been having troubles getting them on, they don't even show up in home videos, I rename them to get rid of extra "." and other symbols so it's just letters and .mp4. could that be why they aren't going on? Because they're ".mp4".? I really need a quick fix, I need them for a very long plane flight.
Oh I have an Ipad mini- btw. and Itunes 11

Hey, Anntann
Im afraid to tell you that the reason should be the ".mp4" file extension as itunes can support limited video format. Though you can find it may support MP4 as well. However, it supports the H.264 encoding MP4 file. In this case, you may try to convert MP4 files to iTunes first and it may be the fastest way for you if you do want to play those videos with no trouble. try a video converter and i do hope it can help you a lot now and in the future~
Good luck!

Movie won't play in or outside of itunes

I recently purchased Marvel's Avengers. The movie won't play in itunes or in any other program. I've tried deleting and re-downloading it. I don't get an error message, I just click play and nothing happens.
Sometimes it will flash the pause button briefly, but then it goes back to the play button, and the movie doesn't start.

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
iTunes for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode

Purchased Movies (with Extras) will not Play in iTunes

So I have OS 10.7.4 and the most current version of iTunes. Lately, my purchased movies will not play in iTunes. When I double click on them, it goes to play them, but just freezes on a black screen as if paused. When I hit play, it flashes immediately back to pause. The chapters are all there (with the corresponding clip from that chapter of the movie). Ironically, these play fine on our aTV and iDevices where chapters/extras aren't used--this is only a problem on the computer playing through iTunes. The actual files are present and, as mentioned, they sync just fine to the iPads, etc. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Sometimes it would be nice to play them on the computer itself.
Yes the computer is authorized (and I deauthorized then reauthorized it). I've "Consolidated Library" and "Checked for Available Downloads". Also non iTunes purchased movies (those from DVD's I own) ripped in Handbrake work just fine and play. Also OLDER purchases without the Chapter screen play just fine.
Thanks,
Kevin
