Playing music, then switch to video and then going back to play list.
When I got my new touch I could be playing music, then switch to video, play videos, then go back to music and would be right where I left off on the song I was listening to it. Now when I switch to video and go back to music I have restart my playlist I was listening to. This totally blows, I hated it with my 5G video and now with the 2.1 update on my touch it does this again. Why in the world would this function be changed. I am pretty ticked

I had the same trouble w/ my iPod Touch 16GIG Gen 1 & it seemed to be worse after upgrading the software/firmware to Version 2.1; to the point where I was arranging to get it back to The Apple Store before it was 30 days old. The trouble seems to be worse as I approached 14GIG's of filled memory. I mostly have audio, but a few movies are loaded also. But I couldn't view the album art from end to end & it would also freeze & go back to the home screen after about 5 seconds of audio from an audio track intermittently. It was frustrating.
I used the HOME button on the top of the iPod to shut it down {holding it till the 'slide to power off' screen comes up & then doing the slide. Then using the HOME button to turn the iPod back on - seeing the cracked white apple when it reboots & starts back up. I haven't had any more trouble in iTunes. Maybe this reboot cleans up the memory of the iPod & a fresh reboot gives the OS a clean bill of health to look at the 14 GIGs of content that I've added in.
Give the Home button a try & let us know.
Best of Luck-
Doug

When starting up windows from mac the resolution is too large, i then restart in windows and the resolution goes back too normal. How do i fix this?
Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

Playing an album switch to another and the old one keeps playing
If I am playing a song from an album and I switch to a different album, the original will continue to play.
Do I have (some way) shut down the old album before I can play a new one?Simply switching to a playlist (album) (which is what I assume you're doing) DOES NOT switch playback to that list, It ONLY switches your view to it. IF you want to play a track (or the whole album) from the selected playlist (album) double click a track and playback will begin in THAT playlist (album).

Why watch one Music Video and then Stop (and the next one? no fun)
I would like to know if Aple TV let "Music Videos" play without stop.
I would like to see all my Music Videos without stop,... but with "Aple Tv" i can see only one, and then if i want to see an other one, i have to do it by my self. I thought ok, maybe i have to have a "Playlist" with all my "Music-Videos" and then i could see all of them... but it didn´t work either.
Since i discovered that i cannot do that, i stop buying "Music-Videos"
Can anyone help me pls and tell me how to do it?Welcome to the Discussion Forums.
As Chenks says and you have discovered, continuous play of music (or for that matter any) video, is not currently supported.
You may want to check future updates to see if this feature gets included, but nobody here knows whether this will happen or not. There is the possibility that the lack of this feature is intended and is omitted to protect the unit from being left playing continuous video 24/7, but who knows. -
When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it.
I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.

How do you play a Flash video and then close the player?
I have a splash page that plays a .swf. At the end of the
video the home.html page is opened. As/after the home page launches
I want to play a Flash video and then have the player close.
I am willing to trade wife, children or beagles for the info.Are these two separate browser windows? One for the Flash
.swf and a different window for the home.html document? Is this
correct:
1. show .swf in one window,
2. open new, second, window with home.html
3. show second .swf in first window
4. close first window when second .swf finishes
If this is the scenario, then no, you can't reliably close
the first window. You can use Javascript to close a browser window,
but, if that window wasn't opened using Javascript, then it may not
close gracefully, or in the case of IE, may display a prominent
error message. -
I have a Mac 10.5.8 Dual. I cannot get any videos that I have stored to play. I have tried QT and then DL two out side players from apple site and then went to install and comp said can not be installed on this comp.
When Microsoft decided not to support Windows Media any more, they made Flip4Mac available for free. If you have not taken advantage of that free download, this might be a good time.
It may not completely solve the problem, but your Mac will play more with the free player. No need to pay for the Upgrades.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.
My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?
This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it. Thanks!
As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.
