Randomly missing music/videos

Just recently I didn't have any proof, but I'd swear that something on the itunes network is deciding that it can't play my legally bought music/dvds, that I have imported to iTunes. These are cd's and things I have purchased elsewhere but have added to iTunes. All of the songs/tv shows that have done this have not been iTunes bought, and I am starting to feel miffed. I legally own these things, what gives iTunes the right to tell me how I can use them?

This is a weird problem. I hope someone can help!
Ever since last June, when I tried to update my iPhone 3G to OS4, I have had numerous problems, especially syncing with iTunes.
iTunes refuses to sync with the phone, saying it cannot read the contents of the phone and I should "restore" the phone. I don't want to do this, as I assume that this will un-jail break the phone, and likely lose any data that has been created on the phone since my last successful sync (in June 2010).

Why are some of the Music Video's/T.V. Videos missing the vocals on my Nano

I downloaded on itunes some Music Video's and some t.v. videos and put it on my nano 4th gen a couple of them are missing the vocals. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't know why it happens on some of them and not all of them. It plays fine in itunes on my computer.

Aec, I'm have the same issue as well with mine. I deleted some music a few week back to give room for sum pics and movies and now that i want to restore them from off my itunes only 1 or 2 songs are actually able to play and the rest out of the albums are greyed out and non responsive. Have never had an issue like this b-4. Anyone have any insight or some problems? Thanks in advance.

Music Videos Random mode

The new iOS7 appears to have removed the ability to watch music videos on full screen through the Music app,
and the Video app will not allow videos to play in Random mode.
This has always been an issue with the iPads, but has now spread to include iPhone as well.
How do you watch music videos in Random mode?

Dear Apple, I doubt you'll read this or do anything but I guess it's worth a try. It used to be that when you played a music video via the musof app on your iphone, it would display the video in landscape mode. Now, extermely inituitively, turning your phone to the side shows a selection of your album covers. No one wants that. I seriously can not think of one person. Looking in your own forums you have questions in 2013 asking to bring this back but no response has been given. That's called arrogance. This is not some big technical ask. It would take you little to no time so what gives? You say you care about the customer experience but between this and the iTunes library syncing issues I am beginning to question that.
You're correct as there is no Apple here in this user to user technical forum.

Audio is missing or damaged in Music Videos

Everything (with the exception of 1 song) that I have ever downloaded from iTunes works great. I have recently discovered that iTunes has music videos and have been purchasing these. 50% of them so far have problems with missing audio half way through, audio problems, or the video stops in the middle. I have an iPod touch and iPod video and this problem happens on both. It also happens when playing on the computer.
Apple's policy is that I can download these only once. I have "reported a problem" with one of the purchases but that is the only one the "report a problem" button appears on. IT will only let me report a problem with the entire order. This needs to be changed.
I am dissapointed that I actually have to post on a forum to get help. What do I do? Do I have to dispute the purchase with my credit card company?

I would hazard a quess that you've pushed fcp system resources to the max. I've been working on syncing up some badly time-coded multicam shoots, using the waveforms to sync them up. On one pair of clips, 1.5 hours each, it took quite a while to draw the waveforms and then fcp was VERY sluggish until I turned them off. That's with 6 gigs of ram on a pretty speedy machine.

Random CPU spikes while playing a music video

I'm using Quicktime 7.6.4 on XP Home SP3 to play music videos I got from ITunes. I'm using an AGP Nvidia 7600 GS with 256 MB of memory so it finally draws fine without half-frame refreshes but now I have a new problem. I only have an athlon 64 3200+ in my socket 754 board. It's the third fastest one they make for this motherboard but still, not exactly the quickest in the world. Playing a video in Quicktime only takes like 45% of the processor though so I thought it was fine for smooth playback. But randomly while playing any of these music videos, the CPU spikes to 100%, 95% of it being Quicktime's process, only 3% hardware interrupts so I know it's not a driver issue, and the whole computer locks up for about 3 seconds. Video suspends playback followed by the audio. Then right after that, playback resumes like normal. It can do it in the middle or end of the video or pretty much whenever or even not at all sometimes.
I've updated the BIOS, all related drivers, XP itself, and there's about 55% ram free whenn it does this so needless to say, it seems to be Quicktime's problem, not my computer. Even the voltages are good and also it doesn't lock up any other time using any other software, even VLC in dual monitor mode with direct X as the renderer.
So does anyone know what causes the sudden CPU spike? Is it running out of video memory so it has to ask the CPU to address more all at once or something? Or is it just calculating something that requires tons of resources and my computer isn't fast enough.
The only other unusual circumstances are that I have it configured to play on monitor #2 (which is actually a projector) while fullscreened and then as soon as it's done playing, it snaps back to the original monitor the quicktime window was opened on. It's really smooth and professional looking seeing as how my desktop background is black. I just hit control F, it plays with the video control overlay disabled, and then when it's done it goes back to black and they never see the quicktime window itself. So that's my current configuration in case there's some sort of known dual monitor issue. Either way, I need this thing playing videos smoothly ASAP! So does anyone know how to fix it?

I have the EXACT same problem and I have yet to find any
resources on this subject. It's as if flash videos and games just
decide that they will rebel against my computer every 30 seconds.
I've also closed down all other programmes, and with a dual core
1.6 ghz processor in addition to 2 gb of ram, this
should not be a problem, but surprise surprise it is.
Someone here at adobe has to have a clue as to what is going
on.

Getting Videos to Play as Video When Playing Randomly with Music

I haven't been able to figure this out or maybe it can't be done. Is there a way to get music videos (or any video) to play as videos when they're intermingled with regular songs (MP3 or MP4a), playlists or otherwise?
When playing songs randomly in a playlist or if I play all songs, my videos with show the first frame of the video like it would album cover art and then just play the audio from the video. I hope this makes sense, thanks.

Thanks, I put the suggestion in last night. Hopefully it will be considered, I think it would be a nice feature to have. They could even add it in settings to play music videos as video when plaing among songs or not. Not sure if that's the best way to word that or not, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

Ok, so you didn't update, above you stated "I update..."
They installed the BlackBerry Developer beta OS, which has several disabled functions including those you mentioned. That OS is intended to have blocked features such as missing photo, video, music, etc.

Missing Music and Music Videos...

I just had to replace my system HD last night. My entire itunes library is on an external HD. Once I got the new HD up and running and restored everything via my Time Machine back up, I noticed some of my purchased songs were gone and 3 recent Music Video purchases were also gone. I did a search for them all on my external drive and they were listed right there in my iTunes Music folder on that drive! Why are they not showing up when I open iTunes then? I had to manually drag the songs back over but I am having an issue getting the 3 music videos to show up. If I hook my iPod up will it delete them from my iPod?

...here I thought you had an answer to my post and you just asked a whole other question. Well to answer yours where is your music at currently? If you have your music backed up on CD's (should be like a XML file or something like that just open iTunes and click FILE then ADD TO LIBRARY or you can manually drag all your music over which would take forever.

"Music Videos" under "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu is missing.

I no longer seem to have "Music Videos" under the "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu. This occurred about a month ago now (early October). Does anyone know why? I have worked with Apple Support and I have reset my device to factory settings to no avail...
I actually used this menu option often but I might have been the only person who did since I cannot find any information on it nor does anyone seem to know it even existed:)... I am more curious to find out what has happended now than expecting a fix for it.
I have had a rough couple months with my Apple products actually...:(
Thanks for taking the time to review.
Regards,
Roger Delorme.

Having the same issues.....I have two 1st Gen Apple TVs and neither are showing on the Remote App on any of my devices as of Dec 24th. Everything is connected to the same network, have most recent updates to Remote App, software of devices, itunes. Rebooted router, computer, apple tvs....deleted the app, reinstalled...turned off wifi and homesharing, then turned back on and the Remote App will only find my itunes library and not the Apple TVs. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean when you right the file in the library and get info that under options the video kind is movie and not music video? - If not then you should do that

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

10.5 iTunes IOS5= iT won't add Purchased, music videos, more duplicates from 8200 to over 12945, i think 80% more than i had before, freeze, purchased items from iTunes should be downloaded again from purchased page in the Store, so reinstalling All my Ap

Hi,
After installing iOS5 on iTunes and iPhone, everything went almost smoothly, except activation, which i finally fixed it.
The issues i am now experiencing are for the most after iOS5 and iTunes 10.5
No direct connection to Wifi Spot at HOME, ( i don't have a Carrier contract) I have to be really 2 metres near the router to connect, but not with iPad which i didn't update to OS5 yet, My Library problem is everyday i have to upload all my music from my computer, from nearly 2000 songs to really 12945 now!!! most of them duplicates, duplicates!!! Enormous , songs, music videos, and movies, all duplicated !!!
I bought a software for fixing this problem, but unfortunately not working at all.I stop this way and buy no more softwares.
I don't really see most of my Apps in iTunes Store=purchased, even though i have to download them everyday, i mean right now 93 are being on download platform, and tomorrow morning, i am not sure to have the 90 Apps on my Library, that in total should be near 600 or more than that.So my kid will ask for one game to play, and i will really have a hard time to find it(iPhone freezes when looking for App Store+update+ Purchased then ALL or Not in the iPhone, it freezes excessively, and when you got one app and push download then you go to iPhone 3, 4 or 5 th page, then rolling back to App Store etc,,,,
Something is wrong, but i don't know it comes from.
Back in 2002/3 first i bought the second generation of iPod, i never saw a duplicate song or file, but now it is different.It becomes sort of a challenge to open your iTunes on your Laptop, and you figure out that your Library is Empty, you have to look for Folders, and no Purchased icon under iTunes Store, No Music Videos either!!!
Somebody has to sort this out Hopefully
Best Regards

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
What brand of PC do you have? Sony VIAO is notoriuous for having some software which corrupts the iTunes library.
If you are routinely generating more and more duplicates in your library then you are adding media in the wrong way. Simply scanning the entire media folder over & over again is a likely cause of problems, particularly if this is a different folder from the one currently set as the iTunes Media folder. Use a tool like iTunes Folder Watch which can scan your media folders, add new files and remove missing ones.

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Is there a way to shuffle music videos on the Touch?

The Touch is my first video iPod, and I was shocked to see I can't shuffle my videos. I just bought a slew of music videos, and I would like to be able to organize them into playlists and shuffle those, just like my songs. Right now I can only play one video at a time, then I have to manually go back and select another video.
Am I missing something? Or will this functionality be added in a future software update? Playing videos just isn't very convenient or enjoyable at all with the current lack of shuffle capability. Anyone else feel the same, or am I all alone on this?

Have done the feedback thing, and hopefully others have as well. Any idea if this functionality of being able to organize playlists of your music videos and play them as such is going to be be possible in any upcoming software upgrade?
I have actually gone ahead and got the universal dock and component cables, so I can view my music videos on my big screen TV and sound through my stereo and speakers. Sure would be nice to be able to allow a playlist of videos to continually play nonstop without having to go to the Touch after the conclsusion of each single video and select the next one to play.
