  • After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song

    After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song. Song progress indicator actually stops working after 30 seconds or so and iTunes can no longer be closed. However, the song finishes playing, but the next one will not start.
    I tried on different computers, with different iTunes libraries, both on internal and external media. It ALWAYS happens.
    Any suggestions?

    I downgrade to itunes 10.6.3 and the error still appears.
    I have to download this utility http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
    And I deleted this file:
    /private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB
    That fix the problem.
    Now my iphone is working without issues on latest version of itunes 10.7

  • Only safari adress bar visible after playing a youtube video.

    Only safari adress bar visible after playing a youtube video, rest of the screen is white, what can I do?

    If you are using Safari for Mac, it could be a Safari extension causing this.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.
    It would really help when you post to tell us which operating system you are using, Mac or  Windows.
    You could also try troubleshooting the Flash plugin which is required for most of the content on YouTube.

  • Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

    Hi
    An issue has  developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done  a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing  a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the  prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but  then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in  Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP  Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed,  the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
    To clear this error, I have to go into my XP  power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it  back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube  video the same problem re-occurs.
    I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
    This never used to happen  until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is  not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
    Any ideas as to what may be  causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as  it is a real nuisance.
    Many  thanks.
    D

    thanks for your suggestions.
    i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
    Go to control  panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time  (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no  screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

  • "Accessed denied" for Windows Media Player in Firefox for specific video

    I get an "Access denied" error message after the video loads, it plays the intro video and the I get the error. Why?
    Specifically, here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/video_player/popup.php?sid=6145418&pid=927204
    The video will appear, show the intro, then give the "Access denied" error message. This happens to me in Firefox 1.5.

    Install Flip4Mac WVM, http://www.flip4mac.com/, and see if that fixes the Safari problem. As I mentioned earlier, all trailers play without any problem.

  • Audio won't play on specific videos.

    I work on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. I transcribe the audio for videos for a requester called Crowdsurf. I have never had any problem with any of the videos/audio for any of the tasks, but since purchasing my new laptop I have not been able to get the audio to play for certain videos. I'm on an N580. My speakers work just fine, I am able to play songs from iTunes, Youtube, and pretty much any other source. I have tried to play the Crowdsurf videos on another computer and the audio works just fine for the videos. As the audio is the key component to completing the work, I am not sure what to do. I'm not sure what information I need to provide for help but I can do so upon request. Any suggestions? Please help!

    hi Vertigo406,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    It might be codec issues,  Your system might not have the appropriate Audio and video codecs that the Video file Needs.
    a simple Google search about Codecs can lead you to downloading Codec packs. Install it and you should be fine.
    Hope this helps,
    Solid Cruver.

  • Windows Media Player 12, Windows 7 does not play AVCHD (.mts) video in embedded mode, but does in normal mode

    I've run into a problem with WMP 12 on Windows 7 involved in playback of AVCHD files.  When run in 'normal' mode from Windows Explorer, WMP opens the video file and plays it back beautifully.  However, I'm building an application with
    WMP embedded.  When running WMP from within the application (c#), the same AVCHD plays audio but no video.
    I've seen this type of problem before with respect to audio playback of mp4 files in WMP from embedded-mode:  the MP4 license prohibited audio playback when run from embedded mode but played the audio fine when WMP was launched from explorer.
     I was able to solve this particular problem by using a 3rd party codec pack.
    In this case, I've tried a number of packs K-Lite, etc., but to no avail.  My problem persists.  I suspect perhaps I've encountered a similar licensing-type issue with a SONY CODEC and the state in which WMP is playing back files but I
    have not yet been able to track it down.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    It seems that you are using the Windows Media Player control in a window form forum, 
    as far as I know, the Windows Media Player control does not raise an exception when it encounters an error such as an invalid URL. Instead, it signals an event. Please try to set an event to try to catch the expcetion as described in the link below:

  • MacBook (Early 2009) - Screen freezes (hang) when playing music or video

    Hi,
    I have an strange problem with MacBook (Early 2009). Whenever I play music using ITunes or DVD with IDVD or even watch a video on youtube, my macbook will hang suddenly and a strange sound will come out.
    To recover from this problem, i have to power off the system and power on the system again.
    Initially, I thought it is related to iTunes but the same problem occurs even i use other alternatives (e.g. songbird) for playing of songs.
    Please kindly advice me.
    Thank you.
    Michael.

    I have a similar problem since the last update 10,5,7.
    Always when I connect my iPod80GB the computer hangs, the problem only exist when running Mac OS X. It won't happen while running windows.
    The same problem when I connect an external hard drive the computer hangs aswell (Mac OS X) (not in windows).
    My personal feeling is that there are serious bugs in the last program update.

  • TA44469 i have a video that plays on my iphone, but when downloaded to windows, only the audio plays and the video is black.  help,

    i have an iphone 4s.  I can take a video and play it on the 4s just fine, i have always been able to down'load to my pc and view videos with no trouble.  But since mid-october 2012, when i download the video to my pc, and try to play it, same as always,  I am getting only audio and the video part is black.  I can hear everything happening, but no picture.  any thoughts?

    Try updating to QuickTime 7.7.3. (That has helped a few people who were getting that when trying to play the videos with version 7.7.2.)

  • Itunes 10.5.3 stop after playing the first video, and i need to restart itunes in order to play another video..

    I'm having this same problem, did you figure out how to fix it?

  • Compaq Presario CQ5814 Desktop PC Windows 7 64-bit no display or video

    Hi all, I have a Compaq CQ5814. The display and video has failed. I get no picture, start-up screen, or any signal to any monitor. I've troubleshot this by using different monitors,etc. but to no avail. It is the original integrated vga and dvi i'm using. The power light is solid blue. I understand I have two pci-e x1 slots, and one pci-e x4 slot, but the x4 is hard to find with a good price, and the x1 is also kinda pricey. I'm not sure if this is the motherboard entirely or if I can just add a video card. If I buy a video card, can I get away with using a x16 with an adapter? If so, I can save $$.

    Hello trikeusa
    Do you hear any sounds such as the Windows chime when turning on the computer? No display when the computer starts up doesn't necessarily mean it is a failed video chip, though it typically is. I also suggest if you are in Warranty to call HP rather than opening the computer and adding components. HP Product Warranty Check Tool
    Using an x16 video card will have too large an interface to use in a x4 or x1 slot. PCI E is backwards compatible with the slot. So for example: just say you have a PCI E x1 video card. That card will be able to work in a PCI E x4 slot because it's interface is smaller. If you look at the motherboard image for your computer you can see that the PCI E x4 slot of the top fits a larger card. A card designed for the x4 slot would not fit in the x1 slot. Motherboard Specifications, (ArrowwoodD)
    Lastly make sure that your power supply is big enough to power the new video card. Your computer has a 250W (watt) power supply which may not be able to power a PCI E video card. (integrated graphics use less energy and heat) If you search for a video card try locating a x1 if an x4 is not available or hard to find. Try some sites like Newegg or CompUSA.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • ITunes keep on freezing after playing a podcast

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes 64-bit (10.2.1.1) and after installing it the application stops working after playing a podcast video. The application stops responding and the only way to make it work again is to shut it down using Task Manager and relaunch the application.
    It happens when I play a podcast video and it only happens if iTunes reach the end of the video. If I interrupt the video while it's playing (e.g. choose another podcast or close the video) the application doesn't crash.
    I hope you can help me with this problem. I don't want to keep on opening Task Manager just to kill iTunes.

    it seems that the iTunes worked properly on the other user account..
    but why can't it work on my primary account??

  • Solution to: CPU slows after playing Flash video in Firefox

    This is a follow-up to the discussion in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956602
    entitled: "Since upgrade, FIrefox 20 and Adobe flash player 11 eat up all my CPU wieh playing streaming video." I would post it there, but since that thread is "archived" I cannot. I wish there was a way that I could get readers of that thread to see this solution.
    On September 3, 2013, I posted that this problem had been affecting my Windows 7 64 bit system as well: After playing a Flash video with the latest Firefox and Flash player, my CPU usage was 100% consumed by an unknown process. The only fix was to reboot, and its effects were only temporary, until playing the next flash video.
    Yesterday, a routine scan by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) discovered, and recommended removal of, an application called Link Swift, which according to my Control Panel / Programs and Features, had been installed on 9/1/2013. I have no memory of deliberately installing it, and so I let MBAM uninstall it. Since then my system seems to behave normally again.
    For more information see http://malwarefixes.com/remove-pup-optional-linkswift/
    I hope this is helpful.

    Sigh. No, it's not fixed. Despite my optimistic report of yesterday, after a few more web sites, a few more videos, the CPU utilization climbed to 100% of each of my four processors, my system became unusable and had to be re-booted. It is as if Firefox gradually consumes some resource which is eventually depleted, and not restored even when Firefox quits.

  • Windows iTunes won't play video from shared libraries

    Hey guys.
    There are 4 computers with itunes in my house. I have a MBP and a Mac Mini with 10.6.4. Also, my brothers have 2 PCs with Windows 7.
    I store my media on the Mac, but would like to share it with them thru iTunes on the other PCs. So, we all set up library sharing and updated to iTunes on all machines to 10.0.1.
    Problem is: The windows PCs can't play any shared video.
    Whether it's from Mac or PC, iTunes on the Windows PCs can't stream any videos from any of the other 3 shared libraries. The Macs do it fine from the other sources, Windows PCs don't.
    All that being said, the Windows PCs do play video in their own libraries. Just not Shared ones.
    As I said, all 4 PCs have the latest OSs, iTunes and QT. Any ideas?

    It has to do with how I was transscoding the videos. Handbrake tags the videos in a way that makes it impossible to play in Windows. Retagging with a program like MetaX will solve the issue.
