QuickTime plays-then freezes-then plays again

I have a Windows Vista and whenever I try to play a video from iTunes, the video plays, then stops and plays again. It's not fluent. The audio is fine however. Any help?

I had the same problem and to fix it i saved the itunes video file onto my external hard drive which is ide and played the file from there using i tunes, it worked and the video did not stutter anymore. I think a flash drive would work also, if you had one of those to try.

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

Playing a Quicktime Movie Then Jumping to a Marker

Hi
Can someone please tell me how to do the following...
I want to play a Quicktime movie then have it jump to a frame
when complete.
Please see the attached code.
Any help much appreciated.
Andy

Thanks Aldus, works perfectly. Yes, I should have used a
marker name instead of a frame, thanks for pointing that out.
Regards
Andy

HT1338 My macro is less than a year old. I have no problem viewing video until lately the problem arise everytime I watch video it keeps on pausing about 40 to 50 seconds then play again. Then it repeats again. I am wondering what is the problem?

My macbook pro 13" is less than a year old and I have no problem with speed and video until lately. Everytime I watch video it keeps on pausing for 40 to 50 secs. then play then repeats again. I tried to play the same video on my ipad and I have no problem. Can somebody have an answer to my problem?

If it is less than a year old it is still under warranty, get it serviced.

I just put my earphones and then started watching something but suddenly my music randomly plays then stops then plays again. HELP!

I have a yellow (some call it neon green) iTouch 5th Gen 32GB. I was watching something when my music randomly played. Afterwards, it stopped. Suddenly, it kept playing again! Then it kept repeating on off on off. How do I stop this?!?!? It's really annoying.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

My ipod touch 4 keeps puasing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens with all songs at random times

My ipod touch 4 keeps pausing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens 2 to 3 time in any song

Hi, Radical2
This is not a complicated problem. And you can easilly solve it. Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod.
Connect your iPod to your computer to restore custom ringtones and ringtones saved to the computer. Click the "iPod" button in iTunes, or select your iPod in the sidebar if you enabled the option to show the sidebar. Select the "Tones" tab, check the box for each ringtone you want to transfer to your iPhone, and then click "Sync." Sometimes a 3 party tool such as Data Recovery may help you in a easy way.

Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

My iPOD 30 GB classic has no sound. Screen shows music is playing but cannot hear it. This happenend last fall, and then in december it started playing again. Recently it has stopped playing again. What causes this?

My IPOD 30 GB classic has no sound. THis problem started last summer intermittently. THen in December it started playing again and did so for about 3 months without a problem. Again, recently the sound stopped coming from the ipod. I usually use a BOSE docking station that seems to be working fine. THe screen indicates that the songs are playing, but there is no sound, either thru headphones or on the docking station. I have reset, rebooted and restored and still no sound. What causes this to happen and is there a fix?

Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software number as shown in the iTunes Summary windows?
If both the soundock and the earphone has no sound after the HardReset, then I think you Audio chip has been fried.
But please try this Hard Reset again
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If it doesn't help, try Restore after the above.
Good Luck!

When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

I just started have this same/simmilar issue to. Was there a solution to the original question? I have 2 ATVs. One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out. Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net). Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

Madmonkey,
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Gaylefromnewhope,
Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
Next might be to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Hi coldkb,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issue you are describing, or the exact text of the error messages you are seeing. If you are saying that your MacBook Pro is hanging or freezing during usage, even after reinstalling the entire system, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

TS1717 I fixed it by starting up Quicktime, which then started to update itself. After that ITunes worked again.

I fixed it by starting up Quicktime, which then started to update itself. After that ITunes worked again.
Also Apple Software Update suddently worked again

had a lot of trouble with this too. I had tried everything, from the internet time zone changing, restarting computers, physical time zone changing, firewalls, all that, and nothing worked.
but i just tried this and it worked.
1. in iTunes, go to Store, then go to authorize computer
2. sign in with your AppleID, and authorize your computer to purchase iTunes stuff.
that's it.
I scoured the internet and found nothing that said that had that as a solution.
hope it helps
