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...

  • ITunes Movie Artwork Issue For Videos Purchased From iTunes

    There appear to be a number of different issues with iTunes and Movie Artwork but my issue seems to be a little different – and I have a workaround for it – so I thought I'd post it here in the hope that it will save someone else some time.
    Config:  iMac 27" / Latest Mountain Lion / Itunes 11 *in 64 bit mode*
    Issue:  HD movies purchased and downloaded in iTunes won't let me add artwork.  I use 'get info' on the movie in question, select the artwork tab, and then drag a picture across from Google Images.  It appears to work fine.  I collapse the 'get info' window.  To check to see if the artwark was saved, I use the 'get info' command on the same movie.  The artwork is not there.  It was not saved.
    Additional Info:
    1.  I have no problem adding artwork (using the exact same process) to any movies that I've ripped from DVDs using Handbrake.
    2.  I discovered that the movies in question that I downloaded wouldn't play when launched from iTunes.  The failure message said that playback required Quicktime.  I have old and new versions of Quicktime on my Mac.  Didn't seem to make sense.  I researched the failure to play problem and the workaround for that also fixed my artwork problem. 
    Workaround:
    1.  Quit out of iTunes.
    2.  In the applications folder, find iTunes, right click the app file and select 'get info'.
    3.  Tick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".  Collapse the 'get info' window.
    4.  Open iTunes.
    5.  Launch the movie in question.  If you get a failure message, just hit 'cancel'.  The movie will open and begin playing, likely with no sound.
    6.  Quit the movie.
    7.  Select the movie in question and do 'get info' on it.
    8.  Select the artwork tab and drag your artwork into the blank window.  Collapse the 'get info' window.
    9.  Repeat steps 5 through 8 for all the movies you've had trouble with.
    10.  Repeat steps 1 through 4, but this time untick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".
    All your artwork should be ok now, and you should be able to make changes for those files from this point on without using this workaround.
    So - my question is, does anyone know why there is an issue with 32-bit vs 64-bit and if there is a way to fix it so this workaround isn't needed?
    Cheers.

    I am having this same problem ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.x. When I was using 6.x, the videos displayed fine but after the upgrade, they were no longer viewable. The audio is skipping and I only receive flashing colors in the panel where the video should be displayed. I am currently using iTunes 7.5 and not only a problem with video display but also can not view album art in the Cover Flow display. Only a series of different colored squares where the album should be displayed. I have two Sony Vaios one works and one does not. The Vaio PCV-RZ34G with 1GB RAM does not work but a Vaio VGC-RB53 with 512MB works fine. I have searched for video driver updates and have not found any solution. The problem only seems to appear with any video played with Quicktime. Video played with other video applications works fine. I have just lived with no quicktime video or cover flow on the PCV-RZ43G. This has been an excellent system with the only problem being the video conflict with quicktime.

  • 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.)

  • Burning a DVD with m4v music videos purchased from iTunes

    Instead of buying Apple TV, I would like to burn a DVD with my collection of music videos purchased on iTunes. Most of them are Protected MPEG-4 video files, having the extension .m4v
    My question what I need to do to burn a DVD with these files, without loosing the quality and maintaining the video's aspect ratio? I don't mind to upgrade my iDVD programme to the version of 2008 and QuickTime to the version of Pro, if that will help to resolve my problem. Currently iDVD 6 does not support the protected m4v files, hence I can't burn them into a DVD for watching on TV screen. Your advice is highly appreciated.

    This is from the Terms of Service page for iTunes. The bottom line is that you can't burn the videos to DVD.

  • Trouble transferring videos purchased in iTunes to video iPod

    I found this to be a bit curious. I just purchased the White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" video in iTunes (along with 4 other music videos from other bands), and I was unable to transfer the file to my video iPod (the other four videos transferred without problem). The message said that it could not be played on this iPod. Is this a widespread or unique problem? I thought all videos purchased on iTunes were compatible with the video iPod, if not, is there a way to determine this before purchasing? Is there a way to solve this problem without purchasing additional software?

    Unhelpful boilerplate response from the iTunes customer service team below. I have all of the updates (for iTunes & video iPod) and still no luck. I've even done the restore to factory settings thing, and also, no luck.
    Has anybody else encountered this quirk (see my original question) and managed to work around it without purchasing any additional software?
    From iTunes customer service:
    Dear Customer,
    We're sorry you're having trouble transferring music to your iPod. Here are
    some resources that might help resolve this issue.
    If you have never transferred songs to your iPod before, read this short
    article to get started:
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n165242
    The most common reason songs won't transfer is that the iPod software or
    iTunes is out-of-date. Please visit these links to download and install the
    latest version of the iPod's software and iTunes.
    iPod: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
    iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you have never updated your iPod before, here are easy instructions to
    walk you through the process:

    If you have the latest version of iTunes and the iPod software, and you
    still can't transfer music to your iPod, please read our troubleshooting

  • 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.

    How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?

    First, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If they are and you're sure you or someone you know didn't make the purchase, perhaps as an in-app purchase, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos.

    My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos. Only videos though, and no matter the source. I can't hear my own videos I record, videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. I'm operating on 7.0.2. No, it's not muted with the side button but I can't figure out why it's not working.

  • I can't get video purchased from iTunes to play on iTunes

    So, I upgraded to iTunes 6 and I installed the upgrade Quicktime 7.0.3 that came with the upgraded iTunes. I have all the current XP Pro updates installed, I have all the memory, videocards, etc etc that are in the system requirements for iTunes 6.
    I go to the music store to see how this new and snazzy video purchasing works and I bought a music video of a band I like. iTunes Music Store takes my money, iTunes downloads the video and it's in my library. Cool.
    I then select the video and a picture shows up in the bottom left hand corner and I click play and sit back to enjoy this new feature.
    Nothing happens. nada, zip, zero. It just doesn't play. New sound, no video, nothing. I try it again. I go to the help menu the only thing they say about problems is to give me a link to a systems requirement list.
    I open up Quicktime since the help file also says I can play my purchased video on either iTunes or Quicktime. I try to open the file and I get:
    Error - 36: an I/O error occured
    I check everything I can think of and still nothing.
    I drop iTunes Support and they send me an email back 4 days later that says, sorry, we can't help with technical problems so deal with it (but I can't find a single article about this problem on the website) or call our help line and probably pay a fee.
    I'm at a real loss as to what to do. I bought this video (granted it was only a couple of dollars, but still) and can't play it. Do any of the wonderful people out there have any ideas? I'm just glad I didn't buy more than this one video.
    Thanks so very much in advance,
    Shalva del Castillo

    I know exactly how you feel. I bought a video and haven't been able to watch it either. Imagine all the "couple of bucks" here and there that Apple gets to keep.
    Especially when they is no one here to answer questions and we need to trackdown someone. The FAQ's are useless, like every other companies FAQ. Nothing has anything to do with real problems.

  • Video Purchased from iTunes won't play on iPhone 3G

    I am using a 3G iPhone, and have been able to synchronize all of my music and videos successfully to the iPhone up until now. Here is the problem, and related steps/issues:
    1. I have the series, Mad Men, purchased on iTunes. The episodes appear perfectly on my iPhone. (Note: I also have several of my own videos uploaded to my iPhone, and they play just fine).
    2. When I choose an episode to watch on the iPhone, I get the following message:
    "This movie could not be played."
    3. The same message appears for EVERY episode I have.
    4. The episodes play perfectly on iTunes, with no problems.
    5. My music is synced perfectly, and plays perfectly. Most of the music on my iPhone was purchased on iTunes as well.
    I can't find any explanation or solution as to why this is suddenly happening, with no way to resolve this.
    RW

    OK, so I just went synchronized another video that was purchased on iTunes. The same exact message appears when I attempt to play the video.
    The bizarre part here is that the videos I have made play absolutely fine; in other words, videos NOT purchased on iTunes are playing fine.
    Also, the problem was encountered yesterday. I was able to view the videos; a few hours later, when I went back to watch the videos, the problem started then.

  • Incorrect and Un-Changeable 'Video Kind' for Videos Purchased From iTMS

    Since I can't seem to find any other way to contact Apple except through paid support channels, their suggestion is to post something here. Hopefully this re-wording of other posts I've read will shed more light on the problem.
    To Apple:
    Some videos purchased from the iTunes music store have an incorrect 'Video Kind' which means they are sorted incorrectly in iTunes using Apple's new interface in version 7.
    Old Battlestar Galactica episodes have a 'Video Kind' of 'Movie' instead of 'TV Show', so they don't appear in the iTunes smart category as TV shows. They appear in 'Movies', and they shouldn't.
    The field for these files is locked/ghosted/unchangeable, I'm assuming because of ridiculous DRM requirements or an oversight. But you are enforcing rules which cause your program to incorrectly sort files, and not allowing your customers to fix the problem.
    I want all my TV shows to list in your 'TV Shows' top category, but I can't change the 'Video Kind' for those files (bought via the iTunes music store). I have expected this problem to work itself out in the last few iTunes updates, but it hasn't yet. And there are many threads about this in your discussion forums.
    Please unlock the 'Video Kind' field in iTunes for videos downloaded from the iTunes music store (Prison Break Season 1, Battlestar Galactica, The Office Season 1, Surface, etc), or give us some kind of utility that will allow us to correct the mis-categorization.
    Thank you!
    -Tony

    I quite agree. I'm not sure how much attention, if any, the iTunes dev. team pay to these groups however. The formal feedback route is via iTunes Feedback, where sadly, I suspect, not much attention is paid either.
