Playing ITunes video on TV

I have a laptop that does not have a S video or composite video out. So in order to play video from my laptop on a TV I need to purchase something. I'm considering getting a wireless media adaptor. Will I be able to play ITunes videos on this type of device?
Thanks,
Charlie

Apple themselves sell a DVI to coax/Svideo adaptor. Results were acceptable. I used one to display the desktop of my MacMini on my TV until I got a new HDTV with DVI input. You may need a mini DVI version on your iBook (Guess I'm being presumptious there...).

  • Playing iTunes videos to a personal DVD player

    I'd like to play iTunes videos on my DVD player. I copied them on to a USB, then tried to play them on the DVD player. But they show up as "MPEG4" files and a red circle with a line through it appears. Guess that means it's a No Go. Any suggestions? Advice? Help? Thanks.

    Well, I wondered...I tried playing the videos off the USB while it was plugged into my computer, and the video file in iTunes opened. Does that make sense to you? Yes, they do play on my iPod, but I hear you telling me I am NOT going to be able to play them on the DVD player. I also tried burning them onto a DVD disc, but that didn't work either.

  • Play iTunes video through large screen off a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5

    I want to play iTunes videos out through my cpu onto a large screen format. Does not have to be HDTV, any screen will do. I own a digital firewire camera if that would help. Is there a compostie video out on my CPU? Some method to convert it to composite or component video? What about using something from Canopus to convert the signal? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

  • 5th gen iPod freezes when play iTunes video, then sad icon, then normal

    I tried to watch some Tv shows I downloaded from iTunes and sometimes it would play. Then the next time I select the video it freezes to a black screen. Sometimes I can press "menu" and return it the the main screen. But if I select the video again, it freezes completely on the black screen. I do a "reset" and then I get the sad face icon. I plug it into the computer and it says it is corrupted. If I leave it alone plugged into the computer, it tries to start itself about every 15 mins and the sad face icon appears. If I wait awhile more, it will restart itself, connect to iTunes,and be back to normal. As long as I don't play a video. I don't see any posts with a similar issue. Anyone have a clue?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Right click the video in iTunes and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert again (through iTunes)?
    If so, update the iPod and see if it works.
    If not, try these...

  • Play itunes videos on a Large Second Monitor

    Hi Folks,
    Ultimately, my goal is to have a late model Mac Book Pro, connected to a least a 24 in. secondary monitor or High end Larger tv 32-50 inches or so connected through a HDMI cable.
    Then I would like to run iTunes - in which the APP will show on the laptop screen, and as I trigger videos from iTunes - they will play on the secondary monitor - all in my preset large size.
    Currently - in my testing I have a Vista PC laptop running iTunes (latest) and 24 in. secondary monitor.
    At first I set video preferences : separate window full-size - but each time a video played - it would black out the laptop's screen which I do not want to do - since I need to use iTunes while the video plays... (to select other videos etc.)
    The video prefs were then set to: open in a separate window
    At first - I started playing a video - and dragged it to the 24 in. monitor and set it to a large size
    As I jump from video to video - many times the newer video would resize itself to a small window - often different for each one - and I would have to manually resize it... not what I wanted to do.
    So - I set up one large screen size - then I selected all the videos - Control-i (get info) - and set all of them to remember playback position....
    Then - as I jumped around from one to another - they seem to stay closer to the size I want - But some still get smaller and bigger...
    Q: how can I set this up - so all videos will play on the second monitor in the same position and size window for each one?
    Is this better on a MBP or should Vista PC work right also? Is it better on the latest mac w snow leopard?

    *I was wondering if you can play music videos on a second generation iPod nano.*
    The second generation Nano is not designed for video playback and won't load music videos, video podcasts or other video files.
    *It has a space for music videos but I'm not sure if you can play them*
    iTunes has a default video playlist, the Nano picks this up but not any files that are contained in it.

  • Problems playing itunes videos continuosly in Full Screen

    Hi guys,
    I have a small problem. I started to buy Videos in itunes music store and building my own MTV. So far, so good. My problem started when I started to buy some DVDs, converting the videos to MP4 format and then adding them to my itunes library. I have kept the same resolution than the original itunes videos, but I have changed the frame rate to have a little bit more quality.
    When I select a video, iTunes plays it in full screen (as it is selected in the preferences). If the second video is another original iTunes, it continues in full screen. But as soon as one of the non iTunes videos starts, it goes to the main window and plays the video in the small section at the bottom-left of the screen (selected as "Now Playing"). Then, the next video goes back to full screen, even if it is a non-itunes one. It is very anoying since I have to put it back in Full screen manually.
    Does anybody have the same issue? I am using the last release and patch level of Mac OS and itunes. I think that it might be related with the way that I imported the videos (using Handbrake 7). May be I need to use exactly the same format that Apple uses in itunes. Does anybody knows the exact video format that Apples uses? Do you think that it may be related with issue?
    One last point. I have experienced the same problem in two different Macs. One Power PC and one Intel... I have already given up...
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    G. Acilu

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
    I too was experiencing non-full screen playback between music videos / movies. I discovered that this only happened if I had en EQUALIZER setting for the music video / movie. Once I had NONE as the EQUALIZER setting my music videos / movies all played back full screen from one to the next.
    Change your settings in the equalizer column as suggested and see if this works for you. It solved my problem, although I do not have my desired equalizer settings in operation!

  • Trouble playing iTunes Video on My iPod

    Question: I can not play an iTunes video on my iPod
    I downloaded an iTunes video yesterday for 1.99. I synchronized it to my iPod. I can listen to it on my iPod but the video does not play on my iPod. I am able to watch the video via iTunes.
    Any recommendations.
    Thanks,

    Try turning TV Out off (on your iPod). You can do so by going to Main Menu --> Videos --> Video Settings --> TV Out --> Off.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot play iTunes video in QuickTime ("computer not authorized")

    A few weeks ago I found a work-around to the vide/audio out-of-sync issue with iTunes 10, and that was to play videos through QuickTime, which I was able to do.  Until today.  Now QT won't play videos, saying the computer isn't authorized.  I go to iTunes, authorize the computer (over and over and over) and QT still won't play.  Then when I play the video through iTunes, I have to authorize it the video again and then it begins playing (but of course, video/audio will eventually become out of sync as always...).  Any ideas on why QT won't play the videos now or what is making it believe this computer is not authorized?  I've de-authorized/re-authorized, I've changed User Account Controls and deleted an "SC" file (the latter two were part of an Apple (un)solution found here ).  I'm still at a loss and frustrated beyond belief. 
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit 

    I have the same scenario too, running Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion p7-1007c Desktop PC. However, as I found out, a few iTunes purchases can be fully played on QuickTime for Windows without warning.
    Apple should update QuickTime for Windows as soon as possible in order to correct this iTunes authorization bug.

  • Play iTunes video on STANDARD definition TV?

    This seems as if it should be a simple question, but I haven't had much luck researching an answer!
    I've got a lot of my own homemade videos stored in iTunes. I can easily play them back on my host iMac G5, or over my home network to my MacBook.
    But is there any way to play them over my regular standard-definition TV?
    I've done this by connecting a composite video adapter to the MacBook and cabling it to the TV; it works fine, but ties up the MacBook. I've also transferred them to my iPod and connected that to the TV, which also works fine but isn't very convenient. I'd like to be able to just play videos off the iMac without any extra steps -- the same way you can play audio through an Airport Express connected to a stereo.
    I know an AppleTV would do exactly what I want... IF I had a high-definition TV, but I don't. I've read about adapters for connecting an AppleTV to an SD TV, but they seem both expensive and kludgy. I also know that the AppleTV works with a standard-def TV if your TV has component inputs, but mine doesn't. So the AppleTV doesn't seem to be a solution.
    Any recommendations for a way to do this that definitely works? Thanks...

    Yes, I know, an AppleTV-like device would be exactly what I need... except that I need one that has composite outputs, rather than component and HDMI.
    Are you saying there ain't no such animal, from Roku, Slim Devices, Linksys, anybody...?
    Another thought: Does the Mac mini work with the same type of composite video output adapter I use with my MacBook? If so, it might be more cost-effective to buy a mini and dedicate it for TV use rather than buying an AppleTV plus an HDTV set. (I know I'm going to have to go to HDTV eventually, but the fact is that most standard-definition content looks worse on HDTV than it does on SDTV...)

  • New iMac plays iTunes videos with pixels, like snow on a TV

    I have a brand new iMac and all the video played via iTunes shows pixels during play, kind of like snow on a TV.  I did not experience this on my older macbook where I played the same videos.  Anyone else find this or have a suggestion to fix it?  I'm running iTunes 10.6.1 on both.

  • Picture is jumpy while playing iTunes videos on NB100

    When I try to play movies or TV programmes on my NB100 N270 the picture is jumpy and does not run smoothly. I have upgraded to 2 GB RAM and this has made no difference although the additional RAM is seen by the Netbook.
    Any ideas what is wrong please?

    Well, I've disabled my AVG Free 8, turned of the Wireless, and selected "adjust for best performance" in the "Performance options" menu from the System icon in the control panel.
    Video now just about acceptable although there's a slight 'wobble' occasionally in the screen about 75% up the screen. Watchable though.
    With this all done CPU shows at around 65%.
    I was having similar problems with BBCiPlayer and Windows Media Player. haven't tried them yet under the new settings.

  • Any way to play iTunes video/audio on Droid?

    I have always used Apple products and wanted an iPhone, but I live in rural Minnesota so my only 3G option was Verizon. It's a decent phone, but the only problem is that all of my iTunes downloads won't transfer. I would hate to have to use a different program to download stuff, because I also have an Apple TV... Is there any sort of application for my Macbook that would allow me to transfer to my Droid? I don't really want to do it illegally, but it seems like if it's just for personal use on a device that I own it wouldn't be a problem. I would be able to get a copy of Toast from my dad, would that be able to take off the DRM protection? I don't know that much about Toast but it seems like it could be useful for this issue. Any ideas?

    Motorola's Media Link integrates nicely with iTunes, but I think it is Windows-only (and any DRM media would not transfer). Keep an eye on the Motorola user forum to see if anyone has a Mac solution.

  • ITune Videos stop playing

    About 5 weeks ago we noticed  that 10-20 minutes into playing, iTunes videos would stop. I am streaming from iMac to Apple TV.
    We haven't changed anything that I can pinpoint. I have even checked energy settings. Nothing obvious!

  • ITunes video jumping

    Just recently bought a new Dell. 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, more than adequate hardware to handle video (3.4ghz i7; 16 gig ram; Radeon HD 6770; 7200 rpm hd; 24 inch monitor at 1920x1200, etc etc). This is replacing a five year old Macbook Pro which has no trouble playing my content, including 1080p.
    The Dell has constant problems when playing iTunes video. Video will play fine for a little while then the picture will freeze while audio continues. Sometimes it's just a brief skip, sometimes it freezes for a few seconds then the video will move fast to get back in sync with the sound. Sometimes it will do this frequently, other times just a few little jumps throughout a show.
    This happens on tv shows and movies, all definitions: SD, 720p, and 1080p (I'm also getting the 1080p warning many others have mentioned, that the video is too large for this computer, even though it goes ahead to play the video; this is an unrelated problem). Doesn't really seem to matter whether I'm playing SD or HD, it freezes and jumps on all of them.
    I've fiddled with various settings, including hard drive settings, turning off background services, etc, but nothing seems to make any difference.
    As I say, this is a new computer (a couple weeks old now) and I've had the problem from the start. I've done quite a bit of googling but haven't found anything that might address the issue.
    The issue is quite aggravating and I've not made any progress fixing it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    So iTunes only runs 32 bit; the 64 bit installs related components in their 64 bit forms, so what I'm seeing is normal. Something else is causing my video problem. Still no clue what.
