Surround sound in films causes iTunes to crash

Hey there.
I recently bought the films Pulp Fiction and Inception. But for me there is a big problem.
Everytime I select the surround option iTunes kind of crashes. The film stops and after a few seconds, if i don't switch back to stereo, iTunes freezes for about
a minute and closes the film then.
I really don't know what to do. Music and films in stereo work fine. And yes I've reinstalled iTunes a couple of times.

For me the surround audio is grey and I cant select it. A few days ago I could still select it but the movie were then silent. Tried both with the amd 7750 hdmi output and with the mainboard (ASRock Fatality Z77 Pro-M) sound card, in both cases I could not see any signal going to the audio device from the windows audio panel.
my pc is connected to a DENON AVR-1911 perfectly capable of interpreting any kind of discrete or encoded 5.1 and it works perfectly with other applications in surround, junt not in itunes...
Tried switching formats bitrates settings, at some point the surround audio track turn grey... Now I am really stuck! Open a call with apple support and I am going to call tomorrow, gonna see what they say about it.

  • Windows doesn't recognize Ipod and causes iTunes to Crash. . HELP!!

    Hi,
    Recently, I plugged in my ipod (30GB Photo) to my computer (running windows XP with SP2) and it caused itunes to crash. I rebooted the machine and tried again and the same thing has happened. I've spent the past day trying to fix it. I have done the following things and nothing has worked:
    -reset my IPOD
    -formated my IPOD (erased all the songs)
    -uninstalled and reinstalled ITUNES & QUICKTIME
    -tried to reinstall the ipod on the computer using the original cd.
    -disabled startup items to check if anything has been conflicting
    -tried all the usb ports on my computer and 2 different wires
    I don't know what else to do! I don't think the ipod is formatted for windows anymore (is that possible?) and whenever I try plugging it in, iTunes freezes up until I unplug the ipod. As well, Explorer recognizes it as a "Removable Disk" not IPOD.
    Please helpppppp! Thank you sooo much

    Hi there
    You're pretty much describing a problem I had yesterday.
    I've got the 2gb model and initially it was working fine. I run off a 4 port usb hub with other equipment running as well.
    Everything was okay but I kept getting a balloon telling me that usb 2.0 would be faster, so I routed my extension cable directly to a usb 2.0 port on my computer and all of what you describe started.
    The PC showed my nano as a removeable drive but could not be acesssed. If I managed to get it recognised in itunes (took forever) then it just said it was corrupted and was unable to restore.
    After much cursing and trawling the internet for answers, I gave up and put the cable back to the hub.
    And.....everything worked again !!
    I can only conclude that my hub (quite old) does not work on usb 2.0, or putting the extension cable (5m) straight into my PC causes a power drop / signal loss ??
    Are you using an extension cable or a hub? something to try.
    Good luck anyway

  • HT5070 Downloaded an epidose of Glee.  Trying to open it for viewing causes iTunes to crash. Why? Thanks very much for any assistance.

    Downloaded last weeks episode of GLEE.  When it was finished, I checked the "Season Pass HD" radio button to see if what I had downloaded was in HD (which I wanted), vice SD.  I saw that what I had was indeed HD, and at the box prompt I "x'd" out of it instead of completing the box - which would have caused me to pay for the season...which I do not want at this time.
    I cannot open the episode.  Trying causes iTunes to crash.
    Any ideas why?

  • Clicking Burn button always causes itunes to crash

    Trying to burn a cd and following Help's instructions, when I click on "Burn" this always causes itunes to crash. Why and what's the fix? I did try downloading newest itunes software, which I actually already had, in hopes this would "overlay" and fix problem but no luck.
    Thanks ...

    I have the same problem on os x 10.6.3. I am unable to drag and drop (e.g. manually manage) book content. When I try, the file begins to transfer over and then iTunes crashes.
    There aren't any problems with the ePub documents (which I got from Project Gutenberg). Under the "Books" tab on the iPad device, if I select "Sync Books", iTunes is able to sync up all of my books (just like other users have reported in this thread). However, iTunes deletes all of my other content and disables the "Manually manage music and videos" under the summary tab.
    This should not be an "all or nothing" situation where books, movies and music are all interconnected. Photos and podcasts may be synchronized independently of other media types. In addition, "books" are not mentioned in the "manually manage" option under summary. Apple, please fix this bug and update the interface in itunes so that books are explicitly mentioned in the "manually manage" option under summary or so that books are removed from the movies/music sync system.

  • ITunes Match causing iTunes to crash

    I have read many discussions around how to work around the Match causing iTunes to crash, but I cannot seem to get past it with the suggestions made in other discussion threads, hence I thought I might try a new one to focus on my specific case.
    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, i7-2600, iTunes 11.0.4.4.
    One option many suggest is to add to the View iCloud Status. Unfortunately, I do not have this option in my view menu! It goes from "Grouping" to "Kind". So, I can't see which songs are potentially causing the issue. I did delete songs with no time (less than 1 sec), but it was only a couple and did not make a difference I think.
    It has crashed many, many times as I have attempted to go through the process and although I generally make some progress through the entire process, it still gets hung up and I have not successfully made it the entire way. I do have access to what has uploaded through my devices, but it is so frustrating - especially at the $25 per year cost for this.
    The additional frustrating part is that when it does crash, you have to log off, log back on, then turn the whole darn thing back on to start it over once again! Mind you, it does go through the steps quicker, but regardless I am sitting here watching the thing go through step 1, step 2, then on to step 3, start uploading artwork and remaining songs, only to have it continue to crash with a couple thousand songs left to go.
    Can anyone help with additional suggestions on what to do, how to show the iCloud status, etc.?

    I did find how to add the iCloud status - which shows up as an option when Match is turned on - but I didn't try to access it while the Match was working previously. Unfortunately, it STILL crashes but I can at least see what is eligible or not until it does! [Why doesn't it still show up when Match is turned off? Just rhetorical questioning.]

  • New iphone syncing problems, causing itunes to crash

    I just purchased a verizon iphone yesterday and am in the process of setting up the phone to my liking.  Because of the verizon service the phone came with ios 4.2.8 which I have now upgraded to 4.2.10.  The sync process goes fine as long as i am only syncing apps, contacts, updating software, etc... The problem comes when i attempt to sync music, photos, and videos.  The sync will clear the first few steps of the process fine but will then cause itunes to essentially become unresponsive and crash.  At this point I am given a message saying windows is looking for a solution to the problem. no solution is found and the only option i am given is to close the program.  Unfortunately there is no specific error message given.  Everytime i open itunes again after the crash it will begin to sync again, slowly make a little bit more progress then crash again.  I also have an ipad and an ipod that both still sync sucessfully and do not cause itunes to crash, so im assuming the problem might be with the phone.  I have tried a full uninstall and reinstall of itunes, quicktimes, and other associated programs to no avail.  I have booted into recovery mode and completely started over with no luck.  Now im out of ideas on just what to do.  Any Thoughts?  I'm running windows 7 with the newest itunes and a verizon iphone with 4.2.10 fyi.
    Thanks

    Ahhh man mine is the only discussion without any replies! Any help or suggestions welcome please!

  • Surround sound receiver is causing Apple TV to cut in and out.

    My Apple TV is cutting in and out and I think my Marantz surround sound receiver is causing it because when I hook Apple TV directly to the TV it works fine.  I looked at my receivers owner's manual but did not find anything helpful.  Any idea how to resolve it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that the wifi channel is set to the same channel as on your previous router, also check the multicast rate is identical.
    If the problem persists, you might also want to see if netgear have a forum or a help number and ask there.

  • Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

    Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

    My problem is similar.  It began right after I allowed an Adobe update to run.  (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 is recorded in my Registry.) Now every single website I try to open triggers a window (see below) and repeats many times.
    It makes no difference whether I "Allow" or not.  I think it runs this window for every flash object on that website.  It is occurring while I enter this post!
    It makes using the Internet MOST challenging.  Surely this is causing major problems for everyone.
    I have IE8 on Windows Vista.
    Here's the text from the message:
    "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer.
    This program will open outside of Protected Mode. Internet Explorer's Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open this program.
    Name:  Adobe Flash Player
    Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
    (Checkbox) Do not show me the warning for this program again.
    buttons:  Allow         Do Not Allow"
    Should I appeal to Microsoft or Adobe for a solution?  Is is possible to install the previous version?
    Thanks for any wisdom.

  • IPod mini cause iTunes to crash

    my iPod causes iTunes to crash. This means I can't repair it/reset it via iTunes. It also has caused my computer to crash. I've tried resetting it etc already... and iTunes works fine when the iPod is not connected.

    I actually found this page
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    - the restart ipod services section, useful! Managed to get iTunes working for long enough without crashing to reboot the ipod. Took quite a lot of time but got there in the end... and nice and satisfying. Think my iPod has had too many years of abuse from me.
    Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Store cause itunes to crash

    Whenever I try to open the store in my iTunes on my laptop it causes iTunes to crash and shut down completely. I've tried a full uninstall and reinstalling iTunes but it doesn't make a difference. It had opened and downloaded albums successfully on this laptop a few weeks ago but no longer opens the store. Apple support hasn't helped yet!

  • I cant get surround sound to work on itunes

    surround sound works on all my other programs like windows media players and for some reason itunes doesnt detect it! i really need this to gert working. sounds ways better with surround sound

    Did some tests...
    If I change the default audio device to the integrated audio device in the mainboard I get the same. Changing the bitrate in itunes or in the windows settings does not help either...
    Anyone has a similar problem?
    Or anyone has a similar setup and actually gets surround sound from itunes?
    I rather keep renting and buying films through itunes and not switch to some other shop...

  • How to get Surround Sound to work With Itunes 7 and Stop Skipping

    A common problem for surround sound with itunes 7 appears to come from Creative sound cards. The way to fix this problem is to right click on the volume icon in the taskbar and open the EAX Console. Open the CMSS 3D tab and check the box that says Enable CMSS 3D and set both CMSS and CMSS2 to 0% in the stereo focus slider. It should work. Remember to have the volume slider in itunes at 100%.
    If that doesn't work then open the quicktime preferences in the controlpanel/quicktime. Then go to the audio tab, uncheck the safe mode box. Set the rate to 64 kHz and the size to 16 bit. Then set the channels to 5.1
    This should all make it work, after hours of struggling i've found these successful settings and am loving it!
    For those of you who have sound skipping during transitions----
    Go to the preferences of Itunes and go to the Playback tab, disable the crossfading between songs and you should play skip free!!!!

  • Surround Sound for Film

    I am mixing surround sound (5.1) for an independent feature film.  I will be mixing in Soundtrack Pro 3, then sending the file to the producer who is using Final Cut Studio Pro.  Ultimately the DVD will be burned in DVD Studio Pro.
    1.  I need to know the exact file transfer details.  What files types do I send from Soundtrack Pro to Final Cut, then from Final Cut to DVD Studio?  I want to make sure I'm not "re-enconding" anything, and that I ultimately end up with the correct file type on DVD.
    2.  I plan to do a separate stereo mix.  How do I make sure my DVD is encoded for a 5.1 surround mix, AND a stereo mix?

    I have the Artist Mix, the Artist Control, and the Transport. The transport controls don't work... they jump in approx 1-minute intervals instead of going frame-by-frame. Avid says I need to set up the systems on a static IP address. We'll see if that works. The transport control on the Artist Control surface is pitiful. The pan buttons on the Mix are unusable.

  • 5.1 Surround sound not working in iTunes any suggestions?

    My 5.1 surround sound will not work with iTunes it only plays out of the front left and front right speaker. In other programs it runs fine any suggestions on how to make it work in iTunes?

    All my players (WMP, Realplayer, AvRack) play 5.1 surround except iTunes.
    I've tried the Quicktime Pro adjustments as posted. No luck.
    Does Apple post here?
    From all the surround ?'s, it seems the player won't do surround anymore?
    thanks,

  • 5.1 Surround Sound not working on iTunes

    Here's an odd question. I a CMedia 8738 chipset generic soundcard with 5.1 surround sound. I just got a Vista driver for it but now my iTunes only plays out of the front three speakers and subwoofer.
    Any ideas why it shuts down the rear speakers?

    SameSame. I'll add that surround works fine with all other programs I tried. I also attempted all combinations of settings from within Quiktime and continue to update itunes, to no avail.
