Playback errors on itunes when watching shows, Playback errors on itunes when watching shows
I have purchased the last two episodes of Walking Dead from itunes and when I try to watch them on my computer (windows 8) it freezes and skips, I can't watch it. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it, or does anyone else have the same issue? It's getting irritating!
OK I found the solution, at least a partial. It's on another thread. You have to drag the audiobook file to windows desktop, change the file extension to .m4b, delete the original from itunes, then drag the changed file back in, play a few seconds, then it should transfer OK to ipod audiobooks.
This is an Apple snafu, I'm sure, due to their obsession to micromanage every dang little thing. If they'd let us manage our own files like Windows does I'd like them a lot better. They should just let us put any kind of file in audiobooks and make subfolders. itunes should be a lot more like windows explorer.

When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?
Let's try the following user tip with that one:

ITunes 8.0 Crashes When Analyzing Gapless Playback
I made a smooth transition to iTunes 8.0 and had no problems loading my library or having Genius search through my library about a month after the transition. The problem began when I attempted to add about 2,000 song to my library. The songs were added fine, but when iTunes began to 'analyze gapless playback', iTunes got stuck on one song. Eventually, iTunes froze, then Vista froze, then Vista restarts automatically. This problem now occurs every single time I open iTunes as it will never be able to analyze every new song without freezing. A couple of times, I have actually received a blue screen error as a result of iTunes freezing. The same freezing also occurs when I tell Genius to collect information about my library.
What I have tried:
1) I have tried removing the file that iTunes becomes stuck on. This did not work, iTunes only got stuck on another seemingly random song when 'analyzing gapless playback'
2) I have tried to click the 'x' option in order to stop the 'analyzing gapless playback', however, iTunes archives the songs that it has already analyzed before it freezes, so once iTunes is restarted, the song that freezes the computer is the first one to be analyzed.
3) I have tried removing every single component of the iTunes program from my computer and reinstalling a fresh copy. This does not work, I still have the same problem.
4) I have tried reverting back to an older version of iTunes (7.6). This did not work, iTunes still could not finish 'analyzing gapless playback' without freezing.
5) I have tried downloading the 32-bit installer for iTunes so I could run it as a 32-bit process, however, when trying to install, an error occurs that says that I should download the 64-bit installer.
6) I have tried deleting my iTunes library file and the entire iTunes file all together. I still have the same problem once I load my music again.
I know other people are having similar problems, but I didn't read about anything that couldn't be fixed by what the steps I tried above. If you have any advice, please email me and let me know. I honestly can't do anything in iTunes and it is the most important program on my computer. Thanks for your help.It is most likely that there is a track in you library that is causing trouble and the trick is to find it and remove it from your library.
Then iTunes should be able to complete the gapless playback calculations and then it won't happen every time you start iTunes.
A way of doing it is to create an alternative library. Un check "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" in Preferences during the test.
Then start adding tracks to the test library a folder or a few folders at at time until the problem starts. Then go back and try and isolate which track it was.
Royb from Apple has posted a different way of doing it that might like to look at:

I purchased a 16gb ipod touch 1 gen and it wont restore or show the battery chaging icon. It shows the symbol of usb cable and what appears to be an itunes symbol without the itunes words being displayed. Upon trying to restore I have gotten error codes 1603 & 1604. I referred to the apple website for assistance and followed the steps to the letter with no results. So what else should I try or could I try because I have has no such luch thus far? I have held the home button and power button I tried to enter DFU mode but unsuccessful due to the screen boots with apple logo then immediately goes to the itunes screen and no further only when connected. Will not power on without usb connection have charged battery to see if it was the issue and no battery bar locator displays with or without being connected to PC.
So you did all this:
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

I received a notice to download a newer version of itunes. After starting the process of downloading I got an error message which then suggested I try to download itunes again. When I did this it showed the file was already in my system and stopped the download process. Now I can't open my itunes to play my music. What can I do to get it back?

I am from the states and am in Greece on vacation. I have a good wifi connection yet keep getting a connection timed out error when I try to access the itunes store. It is funny because pending downloads show up in the cue, and they download no problem. I can also open my account. When I try to go the the movies or music section of the stor though it just times out. I tried updating to the latest itunes software and restarting, also I checked all the proxy boxes in the network section of the settings then unchecked them all and restarted and it keeps doing the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksWelcome to AD!
There's been plenty of posts about Norton & the removal tool here. Unfortunately many folks seem to not even know it comes pre-installed on most PCs! Even a trial version, never used or long since expired can cause problems - and not just with iTunes.
Anyone with a Dell, HP, Gateway EEE PC, Asus ..... what Windows PC manufacturer does NOT have this junk software pre-installed?
Almost all of them have made deals with Symantec to pre-install it.
Horrible, horrible software.
Anyway, glad you finally solved your problem. -

Six error msg about apple aplications that must be closed just when I connect my ipod to computers USB.SyncServer aplication and Mobile device helper is closed.The error relat.show :
AppName: syncserver.exe AppVer: 17.641.14.26 ModName: corefoundation.dll
ModVer: 1.550.54.0 Offset: 00043d08
These happens in both kind of messages that was showing three times each.After this ,Itunes can sinc music videos,photos,but I canot upgrade my ipod!
Detail:copy photo files from ipod to computer works normal.I use panda antivirus but without it in the computer,the problem persists.Yesterday I get the last ITunes,but the problem persists.I unistall anything about apple ,install the new Itunes and the problem remains.
And this problem occurs only after I connect ANY ipod to the computer,open Itunes for hear music,for example,still works OK.I have been battling against the same issue for over 2 weeks now. After tracing what was happening on the machine to find that the crashes we're happening slightly after Apple's program we're identifying the Time Zone of the computer, I had the idea of checking the date/time properties of my Windows XP machine.
I unchecked the box to update the time from a time server (Internet time) and it's seem that this was what was causing itunes and its descendant to crash.
Now it seems it turned back to normal operation.
Please let me know if this fixes it for you as well. -

hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -

I rented a movie and it shows up in my iTunes "Rented" section, but when I click to play it, it gives me an error message saying the movie can't be played because the original file can't be found. Please help!
Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.
