No 5.1 surround audio from purchased TV shows in iTunes 10

I only recently started connecting my laptop via HDMI to my receiver to watch blu-ray. Now that a lot of TV shows are being offered on iTunes I wanted to watch some purchased shows via the same setup. 5.1 audio has worked with my DVDs and BDs as well as other videos played on VLC. When I change the audio during playback to surround, it goes silent; stereo is working fine. What do I need to do to get it working? Any help would be appreciated. If if matters I was testing it with the free episodes of Lone Star and My Generation, which both should have 5.1 audio.

Problem - I have the same problem as the original poster but have slightly different hardware. I only get "stereo" two channel sound when playing a DVD (with Dolby) on my computer. The computer is connected to an audio receiver that is set up for surround sound. Video and audio signals are transmitted from the PC via the HDMI connector on the video card. The receiver shows that it is only getting a Dolby 2.0 signal from the PC.
Computer - HP Pavilion m9400t
OS - Vista 64
Sound - Onboard Realtek 7.1 High Definition Audio (ALC 888S)
Video - Nvidia GeForce 9500GS with HDMI output
Connected to Onkyo TX-SR706 Receiver via HDMI cable from video card. The Onkyo receiver has speakers connected for 5.1 surround. Video signals are passed through the receiver via HDMI to a LCD TV.
On the PC I have the sound playback device set to "Realtek HDMI Output". When I click on "Configure" I only see a choice for "Stereo" in the speaker setup window. There is no choice to select "5.1 Surround".
I've done an extensive Google search and found this is a widespread problem, but I haven't found a solution yet.
It seems that problem is with 1) the onboard Realtek sound driver or 2) the Nvidia Video driver not handling the HDMI correctly.
I've downloaded the latest audio and video card drivers, and the newest Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs from the Realtek site, but still the only HMDI audio output choice on the PC is "stereo".
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Extracting audio from purchased videos

Is there a way to extract the audio from videos purchased through iTunes? I'd like to buy some of the video albums, but since I don't have a new iPod that will play them, I'd like to at least get the audio to my iPod.
Thanks,
John

The only way I know of would be to to capture the output of iTunes using a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap. Either of those utilities can save the captured audio in a format that iTunes can re-import and transfer to your iPod.

No audio from downloaded TV show

I got this week's episode of Harper's Island, and there is no audio on either the SD or HD version. QT says there is audio in the file, but I can't hear it on both my mac mini and macbook pro. Thoughts?

This was the reply I got from one iTunes customer support:
"I understand that your purchase of "Thrack, Splat, Sizzle" has no soundtrack. I know how disappointing this may be. Please know that I'm more than happy to assist you in this matter.
From time to time, the iTunes Store updates the items in the catalog to ensure the highest possible quality for our customers. It's possible that " Thrack, Splat, Sizzle" is being updated and is therefore temporarily unavailable. I cannot say when this item will be added to the iTunes Store. *Please try to purchase it again in a few weeks*."

Audio from Power Point show doesn't play

I am having a problem with Power Point shows that people send to me via e-mail. The video works fine, but the audio doesn't play. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Hello Andaleeb,
thank you for getting back to me.
The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
You may consider my question answered.
Regards,
Thomas

Not all BPM's (Beats Per Minute) from ID3 tags show in iTunes...

I have a few thousand MP3's on my computer that I use for DJing, with Traktor software. The software analyzes the MP3 files to get the Beats Per Minute of the track, and then writes the ID3 information to the file.
My problem is that in iTunes, only about 60% of the files' BPM's from the tags show up in the BPM column, and I'm not sure why. The rest just come up blank, even though I know for a fact that the BPM of the tracks is in the file (when I move the files to my 2nd machine and I ask Traktor to read the tags, all the info is there).
Is there some kind of way to make iTunes re-read the ID3 tags so it'll finish the job?

I used a program called beatunes with the same result. Beatunes will only call back BPM on songs I have loaded from CD's - not songs I have purchased thru itunes. Could be your issue too --- I will let you know if I find a resolution.

View purchased TV shows in iTunes stored on cloud

Is it possible to view purchased TV shows on my Mac in iTunes from the cloud without having to download them to my Mac?

No, i Cloud allows you to download, it does not allow viewing of video without downloading first.

Iphone 4S iTunes music purchase not showing in iTunes on Mac

I purchased a song on my iPhone 4S using the same iTunes account that I use on my MacPro running Lion and the latest version of iTunes.
The purchased song shows up on my Mac iTunes under "purchased", but it does not show up in Music when I search for the song.
I did confirm that the song did download to my Mac from the iTunes store automatically. I am an iCloud subscriber and all of my devices have been synched with iCloud.
Why doesn't it show up in my regular music catalog on my Mac? Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Bud

Hello Pearljamluvr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you have transferred your iTunes library to a new computer, and are wondering how to get that content imported into iTunes. To accomplish this, please see the information and the article outlined below.
Part 4 (optional): Add back new content
Copy the iTunes Media folder you created in Part 2 into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder inside the iTunes Media folder you copied in Part 3. iTunes will automatically import the content.

HT201272 Past music purchases not showing in iTunes store

So I've got iTunes 11.0.2 and am trying to access music that I've previously purchased. I've followed the instructions on this page to access them:
iTunes store -> Music -> Music Quick Links -> Purchased.
On this screen, all I can see is three tabs: Films, Apps, and Books (screenshot attached). All of them are empty. No Music tab, although I've bought some music just yesterday.
I'm trying to access some albums that I bought a couple of years ago - they should be available, just as the more recent music purchases.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Danny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it will walk you through downloading and displaying hiding iTunes in the Cloud content.

Also, you can setup iTunes to automatically download past purchases as shown here:

Can't play purchased TV Shows on ITUNES

I recently purchased some episodes of TV Shows on ITUNES. However, I cannot play them on ITUNES. They start to play for about 5 seconds then ITUNES crashes.
I receive the message "ITUNES has encountered a problem and needs to close..." So far no problem playing them on my IPOD, just can't watch them on ITUNES. Also discovered that I can't watch a preview of a TV show or movie either on ITUNES. It results in the same problem described above, (i.e.ITUNES crashes). Anyone know why this is happening and how to correct?

I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

Can't play purchased tv shows in iTunes because of Quicktime?

When I try to play a purchased tv show (from a season inwhich i have already been able to play episodes) it states that it can not play because this version of iTunes does not support QuickTime. I have 11.1.5 So frustrating!

ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
icloudServices.exe entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

I can't download purchased tv shows in itunes

I have purchased tv shows that are in icloud. On my iMac when in iTunes the cloud is greyed out. I can't download it. In iTunes I see the same thing, its there and available for download but i can't do anything with it. I've signed out and back in. What else to try?

Restart the iPad. Hold down sleep and home buttons until Apple logo appears and try to open Videos App again.
