Video choppy in Apple TV2, iTunes, RealPlayer and QT - but perfect in VLC
I have some videos that are really choppy when I play then on iTunes on my iMac (OS X with the latest updates). I have rebooted and nothing else is running except iTunes and it is still choppy.
Tried RealPlayer and Quicktime (standalone) and its choppy with both of them.
Playing on my Apple TV is also choppy. Apple TV is on wired network.
All of my video files are on USB SATA drive connected to my iMac.
Note that I can bring up VLC on my iMac, navigate to the video file (mp4) and it plays flawlessly, off of the same USB SATA drive.
Video file is 720x398, H.246 AAC, color profile SD (6-1-6), total bit rate 1,628, frame rate 29.97.
Could be how it is encoded?
Yes, encoding could likely be the culprit. May have more luck posing in the quicktime section

Apple TV2 can see my laptop but it can't access the files on the laptop. ATV2 can access the files on my other laptop and PC.
My PC can see the laptop in question but it can't access the files.
I've updated iTunes to and ATV2 to the lastest version. My laptop is running Windows7 64bit.
Any suggestions?Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you taken the step of restarting the laptop.
Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using. -
Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results.
ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhoneI Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback. -
I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)
EaglerockerQuick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

My iphone 5 does not turn on anymore. when i plug the charger in the apple icon turns on and off but the home screen never shows up.what do i do to fix it? how can i get my info back?
from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

I turned on iTunes Match, and subscribed; but it did not load all of my library. How can this be corrected?
iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
After looking through the above link, and still doesn't help then try this below:
> iTunes Content: Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> Non-iTunes Content: Transfer them from a different iDevice or from USB flash drive and/or external hard drive.
I don't use iTunes Match so I don't really know.

my iphone 4 died even though it had plenty of battery, and shows no sign of life until i put it on to charge where it shows the apple sign every now and then but just turns off again after a few seconds.....HELP!!!!
Could be a defective battery, you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider -
My Mac Pro is not displaying any images for videos or games, it is showing sound and working but nothing else. DVD player is also coming up with an error. I'm not sure why neither is working, it just suddenly happened. I have done nothing different.
Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands. -
Apple TV2 & iTunes 10 video streaming
Hi all,
I have difficulties streaming video's from iTunes to my Apple TV2. Before i import them to iTunes they have a format of 1920x1080 from my video camera. After the Import they have 3413x1080. Any Idea's?I finally got Apple TV showing on my iTunes left menu. (Updated Apple TV, rebooted it; went to settings on Apple TV, gave it the library I wanted it to link to; it gave me 5 digit code to enter on my computer which I did). So now ATV is there in the left menu of iTunes.
However, it is not appearing on my devices in the iTunes preference panel and (I guess consequently) it is not syncing. I brought ATV up separately, went to music settings (say), and had it play my library and shared libraries, which it will do I could do the same with movies etc.
However, it is not syncing as it was before i updated to iTunes 10. And iTunes sees it enough to list it on the left menu but not to list it in the preferences under devices. Any suggestions? - -
Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2
I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
ThanksSame problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ? -
Streaming Audio/Video/Pictures to Apple TV2
I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.2.1 and have ordered an Apple TV2. Can or will the phone stream audio/video and pictures directly to the ATV2 or do I have to set the ATV2 up with my wifi router? I just downloaded the ATV2 manual, it doesn't say that the phone will stream directly to the ATV2. It does show how to connect with a wifi router though.
Thanks,The 5er Driver wrote:
Thanks for the info guys. If video and/or pictures are moved from the Camera Roll to the Photo app they should stream with AirPlay then, correct?
photos can be streamed whilst in the camera roll.
videos would need to be in the ipod section (ie like a movie or tv show). -
I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in AppleCorrect. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
Manually manage music and videos isn't working after iTunes update and iPhone 4 IOS5 update.
Just update my iPhone 4 to IOS5 and updated to the latest verison of iTunes also and now I can't manually put songs from my music folder into my iPhone's music section now. Normally I would just drag songs into my iPhone's music section but now it won't let me. I have Manually manage music and videos checked also. I'm also running Windows 7. Any help would be great.
I am having the exact same problem. Also with transfering PDF files. It's frustrating. ANY help would be appreciated. I also run W7. I have an iPod Touch 4.

Apple TV & ITunes: Language and Subtitle Options
I've just purchased Apple TV and, I'm disappointed that there are no movie rentals in French and that all of the movies I've checked out don't offer subtitles in French. I thought Apple TV would offer the same features that are available on regular DVDs.
I'm wondering if language and subtitle features are upcoming in ITunes?
Are there, in fact, any French language movies available in ITunes? And so, how do I find them.czernat wrote:

that is not an appletv issue, but rather an itunes store issue.

no-one here will know what might be added to the itunes store. this is just a user-to-user support forum.

each regional itunes store is different, so it would be impossible for anyone to give an accurate answer unless they were also in the same region as you (and even then they would only have the same access to the store as you do). -
I bought a new Ipod (5th generation). I am trying to sync it to my itunes. I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered. I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod. I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail. The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did update it to the latest version. How can I get itunes to recognize my new ipod?
- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
