Problems with Itunes movie playback on x100e - very jerky CPU @ 100%

Does anyone else have this problem?  I have power mgmt @ high performance, notebook is plugged in. Drivers updated and still jerky.  Is there a way to back down resolution without making the screen size smaller?
Any other way to get movies to play nice?  I have a lenovo s10 that plays the same movies beautifully.
I have 3GB mem and 7200rpm HD.
I just got this thing and so far all I can say is it sucks.  I wish I could return.
Thanks for any help.

Mine doesn't arrive for another week, so we'll see how that goes. Are you using the dual core model? Even if not, the ATI Mobility 3200 in there should handle most video just fine, unless QuickTime is just being ridiculous.. which is entirely possible, especially if ATI's drivers are blowing hard. I know that Adobe recommends making sure that you have the latest drivers from ATI themselves before grabbing the hardware accelerated Flash release, so it's possible that ATI is still correcting acceleration issues. Good luck!

  • Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

    Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

    Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

  • Problem with iTunes Music Playback

    Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
    Thanks

    Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
    I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
    Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
    You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

  • SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

    So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work.  In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
    Completely different story on the Win7 machine.  Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
    1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally.  Workaround:  minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns.  Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
    2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably.  The video appears in slow motion.  The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
    At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?).  Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio.  (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
    Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job.  With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

    My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
    As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player.  In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes.  This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
    Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair.  After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there.  I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.

  • ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync.  I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/.  I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help.  Please let me know of any solution.

    I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
    I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
    Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

  • Problems with iTunes Airplay after pausing the playback

    I have a problem with itunes airplay since I've updated my system to Windows 8.
    I'm able to stream music to my Yamaha receiver once, but when I pause the playback and resume to it after a short while, iTunes always freezes and it is shown as inactive in the Task Manager...
    I hadn't any problems with it on Windows 7.
    Any Solutions?

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!

  • Problems with iTunes on a new Macbook

    I recently switched from a PC to a Macbook AIr.  So far everything has been going well except for that I'm having two big problems with iTunes.  The first is that only the songs I have purchased on iTunes showed up on the new computer.  The songs I imported from CDs as well as all my playlists have vanished.  The second problem is that everytime I try to watch a tv show or movie that i previously purchased on iTunes i just get a black screen that seems to be loading.  However the show or movie never starts.  This is very frustrating and I was just hoping that maybe somebody had this problem before and would have some tips about how to fix these problems.

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

    After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
    A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
    How can I restore everything back to normal?
    Matt

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.
