Preview Music Videos Won't Play

Hello, I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. and ITUNES 8.0.2. I can't preview the music videos in ITUNES. I used to be able to preview them all the time, but as of a couple months ago, it no longer works. I can hear the sound of the video but the screen is just a still image where the video would normally play.
Also I checked pasted videos that I have purchased in my library and they play fine. I just can't preview any new videos prior to purchasing them. How do I fix this problem??
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Im trying to find out the same thing dude, sorry that I couldn't help thee out. (My computer is a windows XP)

  • Purchased music videos won't play

    The 2 iTunes music videos I bought won't play.
    When I try to play either one, the error message reads
    "If you purchased this song you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering you Apple ID and password"
    It never gives a prompt for the password.
    iTunes IS open, and all of my other purchases (non movies) play. I could play all of the videos when they were free on iTunes and never had problems.
    I tried deauthorizing, then reauthorizing my computer--that didn't change anything.
    I've been scouring the help section with no success. Please help!

    Nick A,
    You may want to deauthorize and then reauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases. For information on deauthorizing/reauthorizing please take a look at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.6/en/15281.html
    You do not need to format any purchases from the iTunes Store, they are already correctly formatted.
    Hope this helps,

  • Music video won't play- quicktime not supported by itunes?

    just purchased music videos from itunes,but when i click on them to play, it says the version of quicktime isn't supported by itunes. i've tried to update quicktime but not sure ive done it right.

    first thing i would do is disable syncing for all of your media that is causing an issue, sync the phone which will delete everything off of it, and then resync everything back.

  • Music videos don't play back to back

    Is there any method to get my music videos to play continuously.  Since upgrade to ios5, my iPad plays 1 video then stops.  Another video has to be selected before it will play.  I want it to play one after the other.  It used to work before the upgrade.

    In my case, MY MUSIC VIDEOS WON'T PLAY AT ALL! When i classify the video as movie it does play, but when i classify it as music video it doesn't play anymore. I am so ****** because I am more into music videos, I have almost 100+ music videos on my ipod 4th gen. I went to apple's service center to complain, but they only gave me silly solutions for this. Either I download all those videos again which is crazy, or I wait until apple release an update of ios 5. Grrrr!

  • Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

    I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
    I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
    Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

    I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
    Here what I figured out so far:
    1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
    2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
    3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
    4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
    So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
    I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

  • Dumb Blonde-video won't play in itunes//

    I have video's and music video clips in itunes that will not play properly. there is audio. but green and orange lines on visual??I have synchronized with my ipod and these video's play perfectly . but still not in itunes????
    can any one help?

    So, the videos won't play properly in iTunes, but play properly on the iPod?
    Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/).
    If that doesn't work, try going through the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706.
    Video playback can be messed up by a lot of different things. That article covers a lot of them.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

    i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

  • MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

    It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • My videos won't play in my itunes

    my videos won't play in my itunes- just blank and no sound but running like it was playing something

    I have this same problem.
    Did you install the QuickTime update?

  • Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

    yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

    DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

  • Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

    I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
