No sound for video files in itunes or quicktime

Hi,
Itunes is working well for music playback. However I downloaded a video for the first time and although the movie plays there is no sound and then windows hangs for a short time.
I tried going to www.quicktime.com and watching a movie trailer and the same happens. The video playback is fine but with no sound?
Thanks for your help.

So, you have a problem with Quicktime. iTunes uses Quicktime for movie playback.
I would recommend going to the support site for your computer and making sure you have the latest video and audio drivers. If you don't have the latest Microsoft updates, you'll probably have to go get the latest version of DirectX as well from the Windows Update page. (Though make sure you update the drivers first.)

No sound for video files

Got a mac desktop. Video files such as Youtube have no sound. Itunes play correctly so I know the speakers work. What could be wrong?

No sound for videos purchased on iTunes

I just purchased a few videos from iTunes - all my other iTunes videos worked well but now after downloading the new vids, I have no sound on any videos I have in my library (all of which were purchased through iTunes).
Does anyone know why or how I can get the sound back? Sound still works for all songs, just not for the videos.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This goes back to January 15th. I don't know how many ''pages'' ago you'd have to go back to find the original topic that is the same as yours. Here is a fix that Lex Luther (sp) came up with that has worked for a lot of us. We are still waiting for the real fix from Apple or iTunes. They have left messages saying that they are working on it. Lex's ''band-aid'' worked for me and others. I can hear and see my videos again! I also BOUGHT 2 movies and can hear and see them. I cannot preview any movies and apparently the rentals at iTunes are not working now either. But at least with this fix maybe you will be able to see and hear your videos. This next part is copied and pasted from the page where Lex put it:
HERE IS A WORK-AROUND FOR THIS ISSUE:
(Please note that this will not address problems with rentals)
1. Go To Start >> All Programs >> QuickTime >> Uninstall Quicktime
2. Select the option to completely remove the product
3. This will remove QuickTime 7.4 from your machine...no need to reboot
4. Go to Apples download page and pull the setup for QuickTime 7.3.1:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime731forwindows.html
5. Run the setup, loading this version of QuickTime onto your machine.
6. When the setup has completed, you can start iTunes and your audio will be back for all PURCHASED video material. Again...no need to reboot.
NOTE: It appears that rentals will not play at all with this version of QuickTime.
Hope This Helps Some of You...

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

Is there an equivalent to Aperture for video files?

Between capturing video on my iPhone as well as my point and shoot camera, I now have hundreds of video files in Aperture side by side with my photos.
I'd really like to move these files out of Aperture, but I wonder if anyone can recommed a good program similar to Aperture, but just for video files? I would want it to have the capability to access files on an external drive, the same way that an Aperture library can be kept on an external drive.
Any suggestions?

Have you considered iTunes as a movie organizer? That is where I am storing my finished movies.
Something mainly for cataloguing video as opposed to an application that is primarily for editing video.
See the iMovie help for organizing video in iMovie:
iMovie '11: Organize your videoiMovie can be used to create movie projects from your raw footage, and to store and organize video into a video library.
I use iMovie to keep all unedited clips tucked away in nested folders in iMovies "Event library; there is simply no use of having thousands of clips that badly need editing bloating up the Aperture library. And I use the "Projects" library to organize my editing projects.
The finished movies are, the ones that I want to use in slideshows and other presentations are stored in my iTunes library.
In iTunes I can tag them with Genres, titles, descriptions and other info.
iTunes lets my browse and earch them in many ways.
iTunes makes them available in the Media browser for other applications. If I need a movie for a slideshow in Aperture I add it from the Media Browser.
iTunes lets me sync the movies to my handheld devices and present them.
For my needs these tho applications together - iMovie for the clips and editing projects, plus iTunes for the finihed movies to shared are just perfect.
In iMovie: events (clips organized in folders by date and location and disk) and projects (organized in folders by topic),
In iTunes: Finished movies to be shared: properly tagged and captioned for searching and sharing
This workflow lets me keep the clips of current editing projects on my mac. Once the movie is finished, I use iMovie to relocate the events with original clips and the project to an external drive and keep only the edited and finished movie in iTunes. But the iMovie event library will till show me, which drives I need to connect to give me easy access to all older events and projects.

Having problems importing and viewing any kind of video file in iTunes 7

I just cannot seem to be able to do this. I have tried dragging and dropping files into iTues and importing files and whole folders of videos but nothing happens. Do video files have to be Quicktime format to be viewed in iTunes and if so does Quicktime Pro have a tool that converts other file formats to be viewed in Quicktime?
I would be really grateful if anyone can help with this.

Putting video files into itunes

I've tried again and again, but I cannot get my video files into itunes.
It wont work with my .avi files, my .wmv ones or anything apart from MPEGs.
If someone knows of some way I can convert my files into a compatible one, or any other options available to me?
Nick

iTunes (or Quicktime) doesn't play back avi's by default. There are some workarounds, which may or may not work (I have mixed experiences).
First of all, install Perian for Quicktime. This allows you to play most video&audio formats which QT doesn't play by default (except windows media & real media).
From here you have 3 options:
1. Install Xcode. Then, in terminal do this:
+SetFile -t "MooV" YourTarget.avi+
This tells your Mac that it's a movie. You'll have to navigate in terminal to your file though.
Then just drag & drop into iTunes.
*2. & 3.* Open your movie in Quicktime Pro and save it as a QuickTime Movie (either referenced or self-contained). There also is an "utility", movie2itunes, which does the referencing automatically & you don't need QT Pro. Again, just drag&drop into iTunes.
Note:
- Most of the time this works for me (I'm using movie2itunes). Recently I've gotten some files which don't work in iTunes, but do in QT.
- There is no such "cheat" for iPods, you'll have to convert.

Can no longer move wmp video files to iTunes since updated ver. 7.0.2

I always was able to transfer Windows Media Player Files to the iTunes library by going onto iTunes and clicking 'file - Add file to library' then choose the video file i wanted on iTunes. Then I would convert the video i placed on iTunes onto my iPod. However, it seems that ever since I downloaded iTunes version 7.0.2, i can no longer transfer windows media player video files onto iTunes for some reason, therefore making it impossible to convert to iPod. Please respond with some solutions, thanks.

Also close all apps in the multi-task window and try again.
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

What is the best converter for video files in mpeg, avi, wmv, mps, etc for imovie and what type of video files does the iMovie use? I recently purchased a MacBook Pro -version 10.10.1. I make movies, but the iMovie does not support my video files.

AppGeeker will do the job.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Last week I found records of purchases for 3 files using itunes, and left money for my credit card, do not make such purchases, what the **** is going on? itunes is not safe?

Convert Video files in iTunes but no Audio after converting

Hy, do somebody know what is the matter if i want convert Video files in iTunes (8.01) but after converting the files don't have any audio but i can see the movie perfect in iTunes and on ATV ????

Your likely using muxed video such as mpeg1/mpeg2, which is capable of being played back in QT (with the QT mpeg2 playback component in the case of mpeg2 source video) but not able to be converted.
I could well guess which software you should use to undertake your conversions but it would be better if you could provide details of our source video so that we can suggest an appropriate workflow based on that information.
You can use the Inspector window in QT to see this information.
