Problems with itunes videos playing on NVidia Graphics/SATA controllers FIX

Hi folks just wanted to let you know there is a hotfix for all you folks that have a Vista Computer that has Nvidia Graphics cards GEFORCE series, and Nvidia SATA Drive Controllers.... Go to this website and do al the hoit fixes listed there... http://www.nvidia.com/object/windowsvistahotfixes.html
This will update the firmware for your graphics card and some vista incompatibility issues. Not all of the hotfixes may apply to your system however try downloading all four and it will tell you if it applies to your system or not after you try to install them. After that go to your Control panel and go to device manager and go to your storage card section.. Click on the Nvidia SATA controller device click on the driver section and click on update driver... this will bring up a screen that asks you to have the computer search for the correct driver "click it". It will search the internet for you and download the NEW SATA driver you will have to restart after downloading. THEN go back into the control panel again and make sure the driver is updated to 7/2007 if not reapeat the update driver part. It will then pull the information from your hard drive and the driver will be installed. It takes like 4 seconds to do this... then restart your system and all the problems have been fixed... this works with quicktime in itunes video problems as well as the kodak camera video problems.. I hope this helps it worked great for me..... Good Luck...

I've experienced a similar problem with my mid-2010 MBP freezing when on battery power. I've traced the problem to gfxCardStatus switching the GPU to the Intel HD when there are still dependencies for the NVIDIA 330. I stopped using the application and seems to have solved the problem.
I agree that the problem is prevelant on Lion and didn't occur in Snow Leopard. Your advice to turn off the AGS feature in Energy Saver is a smart one, at least until engineering at Apple resolves this problem, since both gfxCardStatus and AGS are doing the same graphics card switching without reference to actual need of the running apps.

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.

Problem with itunes video playback.

many of my high quality video files seem to run so smoothly with my media players lik VLC, but when i play them in itunes the video gets stuck and the audio keeps playing.. how do i solve this..

What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

Problem with iTunes while playing a game

I'm having some sound problems while loading a new area in certain games. To be specific, Guild Wars.
When I'm loading a new area, my speakers often get a horrible static-y sound. This sound won't go away for a good half hour. The strange thing is that my Guild Wars sound is still normal. The only thing that has the static sound is the music coming from iTunes. Simply closing iTunes and reopening does not help. I have to wait a while before my sound is fixed.
The only other game I play with iTunes running is Warcraft 3, and I've never had this problem while loading a map.
Any help is appreciated.

Hmm... well Guild Wars' Memory usage isn't very consistent. I've seen it jump from 150,000+K to 22,000K. Now it is 70,000K, while iTunes is 40,000K.
For the record, my computer isn't top of the line. I have an AMD Athlon 1700+, and 768 RAM. As for my Sound Card... your guess is as good as mine. Hahah sorry. I'm pretty useless.
Oh, and my CPU usage is 100% while playing. :/

My apple ID was the original without the email extension. It caused problems with ITunes conversion after the last upgrade. Tech fixed that issue but my MacBook defaults to the old ID. Even though I have a new ID it defaults to the old. iTunes is ok.

How do I change my Apple ID, when it defaults to an old ID and ITunes is accepting another ID? The IDis very old and does not contain an email extension. I had a problem because of that earlier this year in my ITunes account and Apple fixed it.

Get in touch with Apple again -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,
Clinton

Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!
- Tpetdoctor

I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

Problems with iTunes 10.6.1 - rendering stops while playing music

Hi everybody, I am writing because some problems with iTunes, that appeared currently. Never had this problems before... When playing music suddenly the rendering stops for several seconds and then it continues without any action from my side. Maybe the problem only shows up when my MacBook comes to the standby mode, but nevertheless, i never had this problem before and it really restricts the possibilities of enjoying music played by iTunes. Can you help me?
Thanks and kind regards
Christina

I have an old macbook too.
It seems like Apple writes new software that makes older computers not work as well.
I always have reservations about updating with an older model.

Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

When I connect my nano to my computer I receive the following message: There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it.
In addition, when I connect my nano, my computer does recognize but the library and playlists in my Itunes is not the same as the library/playlists on my ipod (on this ipod). If I purchase new songs from itunes, they go to the library on the computer but I cant get them to the ipod playlist.

bump, I have same issue. thanks, MM

Interesting Problem with a video

I have an mp4 video on my iPod. It plays fine on the computer, but when i play it on my iPod, about 2 minutes in it restarts the video. It's just this video, and if i Fast Forward past this part it works just fine. Any ideas?

I think this is a problem with iTunes itself, maybe not be allocated enough processing power.
I've got a Mac Mini 1.42 and the same thing happens, especially on longer videos.

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!
No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s

Problems with iTunes

I've recently started having a few problems with iTunes, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to go about fixing them.
First of all, iTunes opens up (it takes quite a long time) and then everything goes slow. It keeps automatically updating the podcasts, of I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, it says (under CPU) that iTunes is using (anywhere between)65 - 99% of the cpu. So if i stop it from updating the podcasts, the CPU usage goes down. Is there any way of resolving this?
Also, (whether CPU usage for iTunes in 99% or 0%) all my music is jumpy. It plays about a second, jumps, plays abother second, jumps... nothing willlay properly. This has only started happerning in the past few days.
I'm not sure if this came about after upgrading (i don't remeber if i upgraded iTunes recently or not).
One final problem that I've had for ages. (I think this might be more something wrong with my computer / windows) but iTunes wont always open straight away, If i double click on it, it will load for a few seconds then nothing will happern. So i forget about it, and start doing something else / leave the computer, then about 1/2 an hour later iTunes pops open. As I've said, I don't think that this is caused by iTunes, because if I restart my pc, it will (normally) open straight away.
I am using iTunes 6.0.4.2
Thanks for any help

I do not mean to be rude but considering the problem, What is your computers RAM Memory capacity if you are close to the maximum this could be part of your problem, also do you do disc clean up and defrag. regularly? there is also another facility that might help and that is a registry cleaner (do not start thinking massive outlay at this stage. The disc clean up and defrag should be part of your computers tools) The registry cleaner is available until later this year as a free item (Beta) from Microsoft. If you are fully clear there are all your 'cookies' clean out every day preferably 2-3 times per day they do mount up and take up disc space.

More problems with iTunes 9.1.0.79

Hi,
since I have had my iPhone I have upgraded itunes a couple of times and never had any problems until now.
I upgraded to 9.1.0.79 two days ago and am having all sorts of issues.
Now when itunes starts it takes ages.
When my iphone is connected I get a message saying:-
+itunes cannot sync information with the iphone 'iphone' because syncing has been disabled on this computer+
I click the yes button to enable syncing and then receive an error message:-
+itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services reconnect or try again later+
I then click OK and my phone appears in the devices list.
These error messages happen every time I start itunes, so by me clicking the yes button to enable syncing does absolutely nothing.
My iphone will sync fine just that itunes tends to freeze up and is very slow.
I run a diagnostic from the help menu and without my iphone connected it shows a red dot next to 'No iPhone or iPod found', which is correct but when I have my iphone connected this red dot is now orange, what is the difference in colour?
I have turned of all anti-virus and firewall software but itunes is still the same, very unresponsive, so anti-virus/firewall is not the problem.
I followed to the letter:-
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and totally uninstalled everything and then reinstalled itunes only to find the same problem persisting.
This is definitely a problem with itune 9.1.0.79 and apple should be addressing it pronto.
Here is the data from the diagnostic run and it shows my iphone as not found even though it is connected, showing in devices and I can sync to it, wierd!!

notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.
