Play video preferences question

In Preferences, under General, there are options for playing video. There's an option for playing video full screen and another one for playing video full screen with visuals. What's the difference? I don't get it. Full screen vs. full screen with visuals? So, full screen doesn't have visuals?

Playcounts that accrue on iPods only get copied back to iTunes if you auto sync. Manually managing the music won't update the playcounts or (in the case of the nano) the last played date.

  • Question about Playing Videos from Digital Camera on iPod

    I just got an iPod video and it won't let me put my video recordings from my digital camera on it. I got this camera about six months ago and it will play through Windows Media Player but will not on iTunes. What's weird is that my iTunes plays videos from my really old digital camera.
    Does anyone know how I can play my videos?

    I don't create videos myself but this might help you.

  • How to solve Java problems involving playing videos on firefox. Please see the details of this question.

    When I play videos (YouTube, Novamov, Videobb, etc...) I get a message from Java saying: " video format unidentified/unknown" and the video's picture start stopping and playing (frame by frame) while voice has no problem. What should I do? I've already reinstalled Java on my laptop but that didn't solve the problem. Thanks a lot!!!

  • How to play videos in iTunes 7?!?

    This may be a really stupid question but I can't seem to get it to work. I've got a bunch of .MPG files - family videos comverted from a camcorder and such. I want to use iTunes (v7) as a way to organize everything and have it available for playback. How do I set it up so that when I click on one of these movies, the thing plays in a separate window (perhaps Quicktime screen or some other player) in a reasonable size, not in the iTunes little preview window? I'll be viewing them on my laptop, not a video iPod, so I need them displayed in a largish window. Does iTunes do this or do I need some sort of additional add-on or 3rd party script or something?
    Mike

    Under "General" in iTunes Preferences, does "Play
    Videos in.." allow you to set the playback of videos
    as you desire?
    kind of. It does spawn a new window, which is great (thanks!). But it seems to be at a lower resolution - does iTunes compress further or display at lower res? What is the function that people are supposed to be able to use to use iTunes as a media center to watch movies?

  • Can't Play Video Through To Camera iMovie Crashes

    I was working with iMovie 3 the other day and viewing the project on my TV using my trusty old Canopus ADVC 100 with the "Play Video Through To Camera" option checked in Preferences. Today I went to preview a new project and iMovie crashes everytime it finishes loading all of the clips with the play through option checked. The only way to open the project is to turn off the ADVC and uncheck the play-though option and re-save. It will load whether the ADVC is on or off as long as the play through option is not checked.
    What could have changed?

    Hi David
    This is a guessing question - so many ways things can go wrong.
    May be You find some help in my list:
    Mac:
    - hardware
    ◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    ◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture. 10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
    5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
    13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
    ◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
    ◊ Reset PRAM
    ◊ Bad RAM-chips
    ◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
    - software
    ◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
    ◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
    ◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
    ◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
    ◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
    ◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
    ◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
    ◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
    iMovie:
    ◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
    ◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
    Connection:
    ◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
    ◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
    ◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
    ◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
    ◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
    Camera:
    ◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
    ◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
    ◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
    ◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
    ◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
    ◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
    ◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
    Tape:
    ◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
    ◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
    ◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.

    NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
    I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn iLink Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have iLink conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
    So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

  • ITunes also playing videos/movies?

    Hi, I have stupid question, can I play in iTunes videos or movies? Thanks for reply.

    This problem cropped up for me yesterday. I had just copied a new video to my iTunes library and was testing that it worked properly, but while the sound was playing, the screen was black.
    Pausing/pressing the Play button resolves the issue, until I select a new video/movie to play, when I have to do it again.
    I'm running MacOS X 10.6.6 and iTunes 10.1.1 (4). I tried reinstalling iTunes, with no luck. I also tried the old mainstay of replacing the Preferences file, but that also didn't help.
    There is ONE new wrinkle to this situation. Yesterday, I had installed a new app named AirView to stream videos over AirPlay to my iPad. This works fine, but after this, the issue cropped up, suggesting an AirPlay issue.
    I have two iMacs, so decided to try this situation on the Kitchen iMac and played a video on this other iMac just fine, video and sound. I then started up AirView on the iPad and initiated the video stream to the iPad from the Kitchen iMac. The movie played fine on the iPad. I quit AirView and went back to try the video on the Kitchen iMac, and yes, the video now failed to display until I reselected Computer from the AirPlay menu at the bottom of the screen, or used the pause/play solution, even though Computer was still selected as the default in the AirPlay menu. Doing this once seemed to be enough to resolve the issue for playing all videos on the Kitchen iMac, but not on the Office iMac.
    The only other difference between iTunes on these two iMacs is that one (the Office iMac) is running its videos from a FireWire 800 attached 2TB hard drive, while the Kitchen iMac's contents are on the internal hard drive.
    Deselecting the AirPlay option in Preferences/Devices to start videos correctly on the Office iMac is not a solution, since this iMac serves as our home server for our Apple TV.
    Since I have a practical option, however, and since this issue doesn't affect playing videos remotely using AirPlay, this is now a buggy annoyance, but no longer a problem for me.

  • My 60GB Ipod used to play videos but no it doesn't??? help!!!!!

    Hi, there
    my ipod used to play videos, i then didnt play one for a while and it now doesnt play them anymore..... it doesnt seem to update them onto my ipod....thanks

    ok now are the videos that are not updating to the ipod the same videos that used to update to it? Or is it new content you have imported to itunes since you last updated the ipod with videos? Also, are these videos itunes purchased or user created content?
    See these articles for information on file formats that will play in itunes and import to the ipod (note: itunes plays more file types than the ipod will load, so just because a video will play in itunes does not mean the file type will update to ipod)
    Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod:

    Now once you have made sure that your videos are in the correct format and have been converted to play on the ipod, make sure that your ipod preferences are set to automatically update the videos. Or you can try manual mode and drag and drop em onto the ipod.

  • Playing video content from external websites

    Hi
    I'm posting under QuickTime though I'm not 100% sure that this is the appropriate place. Please let me know if not.
    I was trying to watch a short video clip from a news site but when I clicked on Play Video the QuickTime icon appeared with a question mark watermarked in it. I have QuickTime installed so I don't know what this is trying to tell me.
    On a related issue, some external sites require RealPlayer to play videos. Although I also have RealPlayer installed and although sometimes these videos play, I do get a message from various sites saying something along the lines that the site has content with MIME and that I don't have the plug-in and therefore it can't play. On some of these sites it then says to download RealPlayer.
    I'm not really up to speed on videos etc and so would welcome any advice. I always thought that my Mac would play most things.
    thanks for your time
    WG

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

    I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
    So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

  • Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

    updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • Ipod Classic will no longer play video podcasts after upgrade to iTunes 10.

    I have a 120GB Classic. I used to be able to play video podcasts just fine. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.0 in September I can see Podcasts with a little video symbol next to them on the iPod, but when I click on them the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then flips back to the menu. If I copy the Podcast to a playlist, I get audio but no video, as always. The video podcast plays fine on the PC. I've tried "converting to iPod or iPhone version" with no success. I've Googled this problem and found many others with this issue, none with their question answered. Does anyone know if this is an issue acknowledged by Apple, and if so, do they plan to fix it? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
    Thanks.

    am having the same problem with hannah montana episodes, anyone have a solution? apple?

  • I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

    I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
    longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
    This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
    Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
    YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
    Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
    Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

  • Why does Safari no longer play video?

    When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

    1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
        Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
    2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

        Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
    3.  Allow  Plug-ins

    Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files to it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app?
    Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?
    Thanks!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    Assuming a Managed Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
