Video itunes FIX!

Holy smokes. I have not been able to watch videos in itunes since the big update. I followed all the suggested fixs and none of them worked until yesterday.
I have a Dell inspiron 6000 set to the highest destop settings like Aplle suggested. The problem was that all the text and Icons became too small so I pushed dpi settings from 96 to 120. I could read my screen then. Yesterday I reset my dpi settings in the advanced section and BLAMO, my itunes videos play without skipping.
I hope this helps someone. I had been frustrated for quite awhile. I have not seen this suggested before. Good luck

I'll try.
Right click on your desktop to bring up "desktop properties" Then I select "settings" Make sure you are using your highest resolution and color quality. Then I select advanced. You will see "dpi setting" I had changed mine from 96 to 120 a long time ago and forgotten. By putting the setting back to 96 dpi, my itunes videos run smoothly. Note: I did uncheck the 3d setting in quicktime also. I hope that helped

How can jerky playback on iTunes of videos be fixed?

I assume they actually meant "on your iPod / iPhone / iPad" .
May be worth submitting feedback to Apple suggesting that this is added as a feature in a future release.

I wanted to do the opposite. Put a music video in movies. The original purchase had the option greyed out but I had gone to the advanced menu to create an iphone/ipod version. Then both were showing on my iphone. I was able to change the new version to movie and now I have it both places in itunes but only one version on my iphone. I had to do this because my iphone kept re-downloading it as though it were a new item. We'll see if this fixes that issue but I thought it was strange that I could not change the original copy. The altered copy has a lower bit rate but it looks and sounds the same to me.

Sync iPod Video- iTunes

When I connect my iPod Video, iTunes, after trying to sync, says that the iPod can't be found, however the computer still detects it. What's wrong?

When itunes states that it cannot detect the ipod, is the Do Not Disconnect still on the ipod screen?
If not, how long does it take itunes to throw this error once the ipod is connected.

TS1717 When using iTunes OFF-LINE.... I can play songs fine... But when I try to play videos iTunes suddenly shuts down.

Has the ISP modems and routers been power cycled then tested again?
Possible ISP connection issues or LinksysSmartWiFi.com service outage maybe...
Are FW versions on all routers up to date?
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
Disable the auto update feature on the router. <If this was on, possible someting was updated recently. I recommend leaving this OFF.
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.

ITunes/QT/Audio/Video Stuttering Fixed!

The problem is with QuickTime and the fix is to downgrade your version of QT.
1) Download Pacifist to your Desktop.
2) Download the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer from Apple downloads to your Desktop.
3) Double-click the Pacifist dmg and install Pacifist.
4) Open Pacifist. Click 'Open Package' and navigate to the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer dmg on your Desktop.
5) Once the package is open, click on the 7.3.1 installer package and click on 'Install' in Pacifist.
6) Making sure you 'Use Administrator Privileges,' answer all questions about replacing the exiting package and files in the affirmative.
7) Once Pacifist has finished, no more stuttering!

It's good that you found a solution, but since going back to iTunes 7.7 both my laptops stream music over airtunes without missing a single beat, no matter the CPU and network load. This tells me that there must be a problem with iTunes 8 as well.

New itunes fixed nothing for me!

above message in my event viewer since i updated to this lousy release....
have had bonjour messages before but back with vista last year...new machine running solid and steadt windows 7 64 bit with a reliabilty rating from administrative tools of 10 for past months prior to this update...anyone seeing this and if so is there a fix?
first few backups took for ever on my iphone 3gs..... most go quickly again now.
don't sync too many things other than videos.
as a side note to any user who might be able to help.... i only sync "sync only checked songs and videos" in iTunes on "Summary" tab Devices>Mark's iPhone
looking in windows firewal bonjour has pretty much free reign inbound and outbound.
i use nav 2010 antivirus which unlike older versions has been great since 2009 redesign (small footprint and very little resource use) although with 12gbs ram at 1600 i don't get any issues with apps eating ram.
really would like to get to the bottom of this error as i like running a lean,mean running machine.
based on google responses i am amoung the many windows users who have had more issues with this poor apple release update than any i can remember.
so after all this is there another version of bonjour that will work with windows 7? like previous version i could install after cleaning out the new one.

Brian68,
I agree the basic line charge is what is making it worse for those that just want a phone (dumb phone).
Your reasoning that it will only cost an additional $20 is not quite the way I see it. You are forgetting that additional data will be needed for the phones. In other words I would need to up the data to 9-10GB. That's an additional $10-20 per month. So I would be going from $180/mo to $260/mo for total of $1920 over a 24 mo period. Not to mention I would likely be paying a considerable amount for the phones as the dicounted price goes down significantly as you add lines. That being the case, factor in another $500 or so bringing the total extra cost at $2420.
When you do the math the absurdity of the pricing becomes more clear.

ITunes Fix for Manually Moving Music and other Media

Intro
Any iTunes 7.x user who manages their own music library outside of the "iTunes Music" folder might be able to tell you that iTunes DOES NOT respond well after manually moving tracks from one place to another on their computer systems. In fact, any file you move becomes immediately unplayable in iTunes. And, if you're anything like I am, losing several years worth of song rating metadata and playlists is not a good incentive for change. However, one thing others might not be able to tell you is that there's an easy workaround for the problem and you get to keep your playlists, ratings and other info. Read on to learn about the workaround.
About the Workaround
The workaround is a simple hack I devised after recently transferring a good portion of my music library between hard disks and running into problems with iTunes. The fix steps provided below are intended to circumvent the problems with iTunes and give users the freedom to move songs and other media files on their computers while maintaining the integrity of both the ratings and the playlists. Meaning you won't need to manually update the song locations in iTunes one-at-a-time, which, at version 7.02 is the only way to accomplish this task using the program.
Please be aware that not all information is retained using this workaround. What will be lost are the following: the "Recently Added", "Recently Played" and "Top 25 Most Played" iTunes Smart Playlists; any media file play counts; last played information; and possibly some other data used only internally by iTunes.
So, if you're comfortable parting with some metadata while keeping your cherished song ratings and playlists intact during file relocation, read on to learn how to use the workaround.
Workaround Steps
The following instructions walk step-by-step through the process of this workaround.
Note: All backslashes used in file paths have been converted to forward slashes so that they will adhere with MySpace XSS security validation checks. These altered paths can still be copy/paste into Windows Vista's Explorer program once the Username is changed to the User Account where the iTunes files reside.
Preparing for the Move
Before you move your files, do the following:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Create a backup copy of the following files:
iTunes Library XML (iTunes Music Library.xml)
Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl)
Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Moving Your Files
This part should be self explanatory, but while you do it make sure to note the following two things:
1. The path where the files were previously stored (e.g. D:/Music).
2. The path where the files will end up (e.g. E:/Music).
Execute the Fix
After your files are moved, complete the following steps to implement the fix.
Note: Do not open iTunes during this process.
Hack the iTunes Library XML
Once the files are moved the Library XML file locations will be out of sync. Follow the steps below to update them so that they now reference the correct file locations.
1. Open the iTunes Library XML with a Text Editor with a Find/Replace function.
Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Tip: Do not try to do this with Dreamweaver if your Library XML is greater than 10MB.
2. Perform a Find/Replace using the following inputs:
Find: Path from Step 1 of Moving Your Files
Replace: Path from Step 2 of Moving Your Files
3. Confirm your results, and then save and close the Library XML.
Delete the iTunes Music Database
Hacking the iTunes Library isn't enough to fool iTunes. Like the Library XML, the Music Database also holds the file locations of all of the media stored within the program. And it's smart enough to wipe out the Library XML hack if iTunes is opened before completing this step.
Ensure you have backed up the iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl) and delete the file.
Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Back in iTunes
Once the fix is in place you can now open iTunes again. You will notice that all of your playlists, music and other items have vanished. In order to recover them all (with the exception of the Smart Playlists mentioned in the About the Workaround section above) we'll need to import the hacked Library XML file back into iTunes.
1. Open iTunes and press CtrlShiftO or go to File > Import…
2. Navigate to and Open your modified Library XML (as pictured below).
3. iTunes will then begin importing the contents of the XML file (as pictured below).
Note: This process may take a while, depending on the size if your library.
Wrapping Up
Once the import process is complete iTunes will look almost exactly the way you left it, with the exception that some playlists have been duplicated and the number of songs may be a hair off. To fix this problem delete any duplicate playlists in the "Library" panel in iTunes. You can now test out the changes by selecting an item moved earlier and testing it out. All that's left from there is to let iTunes perform any automated analysis it needs to do and rock on.
Other OS

Holy Smokes:
I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

2 different Ipods (Shuffle and Video) itunes confusion....help!

Got new video ipod, fiance has the shuffle. its not allowing me to install the new software due to the other itunes already there.....how do i fix this without losing the huge music library already there??

If you have already installed later (or the same) versions of iTunes and iPod updater than the versions on the CD that came with your iPod, you don't need to install the software from the CD. Just plug in your iPod and it will work, without losing your music library.
For your reference the latest version of iTunes is 6.0.3.5 http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/and iPod Updater 2006-01-10 is also the latest version. iPod Updater 2006-01-10 includes version 1.1 for the 5G and 1.1.3 for the Shuffle http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/.
The Shuffle will continue to update in the same way. With the new iPod after you connect it to your computer go to Edit > Preferences > iPod (tab) and specify how you want your new iPod to be updated.
I have been using a 5G iPod and Shuffle with my iTunes for several months now and have found the process very easy without losing anything.

Can a Time Capsule hard drive store external memory besides backups (eg. HD Video, iTunes library, ETC.)

I'm going to get a MacBook Pro soon, and I'm going to get the 256GB Flash Storage, but I will need extra memory, mostly because I edit a lot of HD video. I may store my iTunes library, but I'm not sure on that one (I currently have almost no songs, and my 254 GB hard drive is almost full on my PC! I do not plan to transfer all of my files, though, but in then long run, I will need more memory.)
I know that time capsule has 1 TB of memory, and it is marked as an external hard drive, and I know it's meant to store backups of your computer, but can it store things other than backups, and serve as a full external hard drive (Like a giant USB flashdrive), and store thing like HD Video, music, and any other sort of file?
I just need an external hard drive, and time capsule seems like a good option, but I need to know if it's for backups exclusively, or if you can store anything on it (Again, like a giant USB flashdrive!).
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing the replys!
--Wubadub

Ok.. the TC can be used as network hard drive.. you can put all your files on it.
BUT.. please think carefully about this.
The Time Capsule is designed for Time Machine as backup target.. principally for wireless laptops.
If you use large files remotely.. and by wireless .. they will take forever to load.. the TC is slow but wireless is even slower.
It is not a giant USB.. but you can buy a cheap USB drive now that we have USB3 on MBP latest version?? it is fast and cheap and a local drive.
Time Capsule has no raid.. no backup.. no protection against failure of the disk or the device or accidental deletion or corruption. That makes it unsuitable as a file store.
Apple do not sell a file store..
You can buy a true NAS.. Synology or QNAP.. Netgear also make some good ones.
Or you can get a Mac Mini and run it as file store.. with or without a server version OS.
Anything that offers you proper backup and fast file transfer.. which the TC fails to do.

I occasionally get black screen or snow with content from iTunes Fix is a reboot

Somtimes if I haven't turned off my Apple TV for a few days, I'll download a movie and have a lot of freezing and black screen or picture drop-outs....Sometimes I see a poor picture with a lot of snow (even on the menu pages)....My fix has been to just unplug the power cable to the ATV and plug it back in in a few seconds to reboot....It then will work fine for several days again. Netflix has worked without any problems.
BTW I've got the sleep mode set to never since when I first got the ATV it seemed to be randomly going to sleep at odd times...
Anyone else have similar problems?

Hello reneywacky,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Streaming Video, iTunes rentals are too dark. Help!

Using a 2013 Macbook Air, pretty much fully loaded.
I'm noticing that movies purchased on iTunes, as well as Handbrake rips of my own DVDS, and streaming through both Amazon Prime and Netflix, using MS Silverlight and Quicktime... all videos are too dark. Or rather, the shadows, and blacks are all too dark. I have worked with display calibration and am convinced that calibration is not the real issue here. While using my photo editing software, Lightroom 3, there are no such problems. It is only the video playback.
Is anyone else having the same issue? I had a 2012 MB Air which didn't seem to have this problem as badly as this one.
Looking for solutions.
Thanks!

I have gone through calibration. Please note that other applications, such as Lightroom appear as they should. I also have a spyder, and though I haven't calibrated this monitor, the fact that non-video applications are appearing as they should tells me that the problem is probably with the application running the video playback, or something do to with the video processor. Also note that the problem occurs with both Amazon streaming, Netflix, and videos ripped with Handbrake, and that it occurs with MS Silverlight, Quicktime and with VLC player.
I read some discussion streams from 2012 with the same problem, and calibration was not the issue. I have tried every built in display profile, manually gone through calibration in "expert" mode, etc... I just don't think this is the real issue. Nor does it appear to be a hardware issue. At least not the monitor. Other applications are working just fine.

Video itunes FIX!
