Stuttering in certain videos in iTunes for Windows 7 and Windows 8

I have stuttering in certain videos in the most recent version of iTunes in Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit. The two specific videos I am talking about are video podcasts...."Windows Weekly HD", and "Security Now HD". The strange thing is that I can play those videos in Windows Media Player, VLC, Zune, etc, and there is no stuttering at all. I have no issue with stuttering audio with iTunes.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It is really annoying to have to use other software just to watch certain videos. I appreciate your time.
Also...this has happened on fresh installs of Windows 7 & 8 on the same PC. I have also tried removing and re-installing iTunes, and all of my drivers for my software are updated, and I have all the updates for Windows.

Hello,
Here is an article that discusses an alternative to QuickVPN for Windows 8.
Alternative VPN Setup for Windows 8 on the RV016, RV042, RV042G and RV082 VPN Routers
Let me know if this helps.

Seamlessly switching between iTunes for Mac and Windows

The path on a Windows machine to my iTunes is something like N:\My Music, where N is mapped as a network drive. On a Mac, that same Drive N is mapped as “fireserver” on the server machine. So on iTunes for the Mac, it would have to be //servername/fireserver/My Music or something along those lines.
Here’s the problem. The iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml are the files in Windows that store the information regarding which iTunes music is there, as well as the playlists and their contents. Therefore, if I move from one machine to another, as long as each has the server’s drive mapped as N, I can copy those two files from one machine to the other and it serves two purposes. First, it is a backup of sorts of my iTunes library. Second, I don’t have to update the information on two computers but rather one, and then copy the files to have an identical library, including playlists.
I would like to sync my iPhone and iPod(s) with my Mac, but I have a Windows machine, and need to continue to use that Windows machine to do other things with iTunes, such as port music to the backyard of my house. I don’t know how to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync since the xml and itl files refer to files and folders within N:\My Music. Even if I laboriously edited those files and did a global replace, that would be a one shot deal, and thereafter, I would have to update on the Windows side and on the Mac side.
So here is the question. Is there a way that I can set up my Mac so that when I refer to N: it knows that I mean //servername/fireserver (I’m not sure if I have the syntax right, but I think I’m getting my point across)? In this way, the files would point to N:\whatever and the computer would know that I mean //servername/fireserver/whatever.
This would solve a major problem for me.
Thanks in advance!

I have been really surprised by the lack of responses to this post. I'm thinking, this is such a typical thing that people would want to do - sharing their music with friends and family - I can't be the first to have the problem. Plus, I've always received such quick, expert advice on this forum to other questions since buying my Mac a couple of months ago.
But now I'm wondering whether there is something else going on that precludes the resident experts from answering. Is sharing music as I've described illegal? Maybe that's why everybody's keeping quiet, i.e., if you tell me how to share my songs with a friend then you're assisting in copyright infringement.
I didn't think it was illegal to share music with a friend in this way, as long as the songs you've downloaded from iTunes aren't shared on more than four devices or whatever. If it is illegal I'd sure like to know. That would also explain the radio silence.
Thanks.

In what way is iTunes for 64-bit windows 64-bit?

I keep finding conflicting info on this topic. There appears to be a version of iTunes for 64-bit Windows, but task manager shows itunes.exe as being 32-bit.
In what way is this installer 64-bit? Does it install 64-bit drivers for iOS devices and iTunes, but the program is still 32-bit?

The itunes.exe process itself is 32-bit (on a 64-bit install). Most of the iTunes program files are also 32-bit.
The miniplayer is 64-bit, and there are 64-bit plugins for Outlook. (You'll see those items in the iTunes folder in your "Program files" rather than in the iTunes folder in your "Program files (x86)".)
The GEAR drivers itunes uses for burning will be the 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system.
The iPod service will be 64-bit on a 64-bit system.
Apple Mobile Device Support is 64-bit (so you'll have the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Service, and usbaapl64.sys and netaapl64.sys rather than usbaapl.sys and netaapl.sys, on the 64-bit system.)
Some of the bonjour componentry on the 64-bit install will be 64-bit.
Most everything else is 32-bit (QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support).
(Apologies for inaccuracies ... it's been a wee while since I checked the noir-household 64-bit Vista box for locations. The precise details of what is 32-bit and 64-bit can change between versions. For example, one of the big changes between the itunes 8.x 64-bit versions and the itunes 9.x 64-bit versions was the iPod Service going 64-bit.)

I got 64 bit iTunes for 64 bit Windows 8

I got 64 bit iTunes for 64 bit Windows 8 and I can't download my purchases on iTunes in the cloud and I had just recently restore my Windows 8 64 bit back to original settings and upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and I was thinking there has to be a patch or something to get my 64 bit iTunes to work.

Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing?

Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing? Can anyone help

You're sure that it completely downloaded? There may be a downloads button at the bottom on the right side of the iTunes Store app if the movie did not finish downloading.
Did you look in there to make sure that it fully downloaded?
You can also search for it. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the search field at the top of the screen. Type in the name of the movie and see if it shows up. If it appears, you can tap on it and it will begin to play but that will also start the 24 or 48 hour timer that you get to watch a rental once you start it.
If you are not ready to watch the movie, don't tap on it. But if it shows up in the search, you know it's on the iPad so the next thing that I would do is reset the iPad and then look again in the videos app.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

ITunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bug thread

I thought I would start an entire thread devoted to iTunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bugs since there are MANY people reporting various issues and may not know about all of them. Hopefully this will combine a list of all bugs for reference and help others. So far, most of this effects Windows 7 64 bit, but some are reporting issues under 32 bit too.
I have spoken with both Apple Care and a higher level tech at iTunes support. The iTunes support tech said they were "looking into all reported bugs and are aware of issues with version 10.4, especially under Windows 7. They encourage others to report their bugs to iTunes support so they can work on this and find all the issues.
KNOWN BUGS:
Album Art copy/paste broken - A bug that causes copy/pase from clipboard where album art is not displayed in the info tab as before. Some have reported success by dragging the image file over to it vs copy/paste method but it is still very much spotty and a known bug.
iTunes store not working - Some have been effected with the iTunes store not working properly for them. Personally I don't have a problem but this has been for some.
"Purchases" link not working in iTunes - When you click on "Purchases" link on the right column, all your purchases are missing and do not show up. This includes, music, movies, apps, etc. This is also a known bug and one that I have personally. Works fine in iTunes 10.3 for Windows 7 64bit and also works fine under both Snow Leopard and Lion OS.
Sync issues - Some have reported syncing issues since upgrading to 10.4 iTunes on Windows 7. This is a bit spotty as well as I have no trouble but there are others that have reported issues.
Solutions:
For now, the only way to fix this is to use iTunes 10.4 under Snow Leopard or Lion OS. Also, you can uninstall (not repair) 10.4 and install 10.3 again which should work.

You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post. It's troubling to me how a simple response from anyone there could've just said we know about this and they are bugs in 10.4 causing this.
There are other issues too as you point out with the syncing and crashing. Anyway, hopefully others will find information here more useful than calling Apple for help. Not much we can do now except roll back to 10.3 for those that kept it and hope also they can updated Apple Application Support component.

Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?

It just says not connected, and as soon as it bails to menu, it connects again and will play for another minute before doing the same thing all over again.

Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Apple TV is having trouble streaming videos from iTunes on your computer. This symptom could have a variety of causes, and I'd suggest the following initial troubleshooting steps.
In addition to restarting your devices (Apple TV, computer, router), try the tips in this article, starting with "Check your home network:"

All the best,
