Playing video in iTunes makes XP Pro/SP2 taskbar disappear

Can't figure this one out. I'm pretty new to iTunes/iPod shuffle. I don't remember when this started but it didn't always happen. The entire taskbar disappears. It's not as if I'm moving it to another area or anything like that. It's just gone and I must reboot in order to make it appear again.
Any suggestions on where to look to make this stop?

So, it's the full screen that's doing it. That's why I don't see it happening all the time.
I could live with that if the taskbar came back when the video full screen was closed or even when iTunes was closed. In my particular case the full screen floats above the taskbar -- or where the taskbar used to be. When the video is closed it doesn't reappear until reboot.

Black screen while playing video in itunes

I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

Sound delay while playing video in iTunes.

Dear community,
When playing video in iTunes the sound is increasingly delaying and after approximately 10 seconds it becomes almost impossible to watch the video. When you move to the other part of the video, the sound is back to normal for a short time and then becomes delayed again.
When video is playing, it is possible to hear that sound is not smooth, but has very minor breaks. The video is downloaded to the computer. I opened this video with Windows Media Player and QuickTime and it works good, but, unfortunately, it does not work correctly while playing in iTunes player.
I experience this problem on Windows 7 32-bit.
Please, help with this problem.
Sincerely,
Roma

Solved.
Found this great solution:

This is what worked for me for Windows 7 — Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > >>> Right click on your Speakers and Headphones and go to Properties > Advanced
Now… bring the quality of your sound down – I changed mine from 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) TO 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) — it works like a charm for me now! Hope this helps.

And another one, but not tested:

I am one of many that had the synch problem. I say HAD because I finally found a fix or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS. I noticed one of the sound settings in Bios was set to HD.
I had the option to change to AC97. saved the Bios and rebooted……hooray problem solved. I also noticed that unlocking cores made the symptom even worse. All is running very well with all cores unlocked and 24bit 192000Hz set on the sound card.
for information I have a ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard and
Xonar DS sound card
Hope this helps.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Any new ideas?

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Green Screen when trying to play videos in iTunes.

Not sure how do describe my issue. But lately when playing videos though iTunes, they play fine for about 30 seconds and then the screen goes solid green ( http://tinyurl.com/loa5a ), but the sound continues. I've tried multiple videos from episodes of Lost that I've downloaded from the iTunes store to music videos, to video podcasts. None of them are immune to the dreaded green screen. Is this a known issue or something maybe unique to my system?

Anyone have any ideas or need more info, if so please let me know. This is very frustrating.

Cannot play video on itunes or quiktime

I am new at all of this but i need help because i try to play video on itunes it doesnt work i try on quiktime but says error -37 i dont know what to do

Yes! Immediately after upgrading our iPhones and iPads to iOS6, they lost the capability to play back CCTV camera streams both on network and 3/4G. Our customers are experiening this issue as well.
I held back from upgrading one of my iPads and all is normal with it.
I am a Savant AV dealer and this is quite troubling especially since the issue has very little buzz.
Has anyone heard from Apple regarding a fix?
Thanks,
Phil

AppleTV 2 doesn't display or play video in iTunes library on MacBook Pro i7

please help, apple tv doesn't play or display movies on the computer.
brand new appleTV 2nd gen, it plays itunes store videos, netflix and youtube videos. network works great. latest software updated. home sharing active. computer autorized. it shows the computer in the menu but can't browse the library. the computer can play through the tv speakers but doesn't show the library. airplay active. also when it try to play movies from the computer it displays an error message. the movies are converted for ipad and apple tv.
movies are not from apple store.
the computer has the latest software and it works properly.
it is connected to the same network as the apple tv.
what should I do?
Message was edited by: unaquestionediali

I am having the same problem since upgrading my desktop workstation to Lion. The AppleTV 2 can see my computer when iTunes is running, but when I navigate to the library the AppleTV 2 tells me that there are no movies (or music or pictures) in the library. I have a mix of videos purchased through the iTunes store, HandBrake conversions, and home videos converted with HandBrake. I can start a movie or other video in iTunes and push it to the AppleTV 2, but I can't parse the library from the AppleTV 2.
The odd thing is: I can see the library on my Mac Pro just fine from my MacBook Pro's iTunes.

Quicktime 7 not playing videos from Itunes...

So recently I noticed my Quicktime 7 has been acting strange. It used to play all my videos flawlessly... it still does, although i've noticed movies bought from the itunes store wont play anymore. When I try to open the file on QT 7 I get the black screen but then It exits out and I get the "Quicktime 7 Has Quit Unexpectedly" and I get the Kern_Protection_Failure log ( whatever that is) It's weird, before every file i tried worked perfectly, but now I cant get them to play.... Is There any fix to this or has Quicktime 7 completely stopped supporting movies/videos from Itunes? ******Oh, by the way They DO however play in Quicktime X****** I''m running 2009 macbook pro 13-inch OSX 10.6.8 and All software is up to date. It's getting frustrating. I've looked all over but no luck. Any Help Would be appreciated. Thanks

Play Video In iTunes Then It Won't Sync To iPod

I've just noticed that if I play a video in iTunes 6.0.2 it will then no longer sync with the iPod. iTunes says its not a compatible format.
I've just tested playing a video on the iPod (OK) then playing on Mac iTunes (OK) then resyncing. The video no longer syncs and removes itself from the iPod.
Looked in the threads but nothing there.
I have tried restoring my iPod to v1.0 firmware but this makes no difference. Videos that have previously been played inside iTunes will not sync.
Looks like iTunes 6.0.2 or Quicktime change the file format on play so it is then not accepted by the sync to the iPod.
Any clues ??
Thanks in advance.

Video is a pretty complicated subject. I take it this video wasn't from your normal source so who knows what combination of audio and video codecs were made to produce the thing. I also don't know how iTunes processes video. Some converters can just pass through components and not really re-code them, and maybe iTunes did that to something that to something that really needed re-coding. Maybe you'll find tips at:

Playing video in iTunes... Video NO Audio?

yes yet another newbie to iPoding. I have a new 30GIG Ipod video player and have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. i have successfully downloaded a music video into iTunes and transferred the music video over to my iPod. i can play the music video on my iPod and it looks and sounds great. when i try to play the music video in iTunes i can see the Video but I have no Audio. Any insight to this problem?

Thanx for the link Mi mico Kid that has been helpful but I have not totally solved my problem if solvable. I upgraded may Quicktime Player to version 7 PRO which made somewhat of a difference. I can now here audio on Movie files downloaded from the iTunes store but it sounds as if it's been reverbiated.Quicktime Pro will not let me export any of the files. All the files are listed as having Mpeg4 Protected audio which I think why I may be getting choppy audio when these file are played in I tunes or a aquicktime player. Originally I thought with the older version of Quicktime version 6 my problem was the lack of the H.264 codec, but this Mpeg4 protected audio is more likley the rascal.All purchased Movies from iTunes play great on my Pod thank goodness,but my computer playback needs work if it can be done. Anymore insight anyone?
