Video playback from iTunes keeps pausing

Just bought an ipad air and synced it with my itunes. However video playback keeps pausing and I have to either restart the video app or rewind a minute or so to get it to keep playing. Even then it doesnt always work.
Any ideas what the problem may be?

I have the same problem. I have a g4 466 with a gigabite of ram. I installed the latest iTunes/quicktime updates. I downloaded a tv show, and it was nearly unwatchable, it dropped so many frames. What gives?

Burning video downloaded from ITunes

is there a way to change the format of downloaded 'Shows' (not music) from ITunes (ex: 'The Office') to be able to save them in, and burn them w/ IDVD instead of ITunes? I want to be able to play the video downloaded from 'ITunes' in a regular DVD player. As it stands now, you can only playback these episodes on your Mac or an IPod... Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I don't believe there is a way of changing the Format. But there is an accessory
that you can get in the Apple Store(you can access that from the home page)
that will allow you to connect your iPod directly to your TV and play everything from it on your TV. RCA patch cords for sound and S-Video that will adapt from
your iPod to the TV.

Problem with video playback with iTunes

Several problems :
Problem with video playback with iTunes -
Since about a week, When I launch a video, it takes a long time to get started, then only the sound starts with no pictures - If I press pause then play the video is played normally. Did anyone face or heard about same kind of issue .
Problem with permission disk errors
After re-installing White Tiger and After I installed the last OSX 10.6.5 update
I found the following problem
Group differs on "Applications / Utilities / AirPort Utility.app / Contents / Resources / wanArrow.png", should be 0 instead of 80.
Last but not least :
My computer seems slow - I have 60gig free on My hard drive and I test my hard drive and everything seems all good .

What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

I may have a solution for choppy video playback for iTunes Windows users

My setup:
- Intel NUC (i5)
- 8gb memory
- Intel 5000 Graphics with 1GB memory (share of system memeory)
- iTunes 12
- iTunes library on NAS via GigaLan
Had problems with very choppy and freezing HD video playback in iTunes and tried everything... Every other player works fine.
1. downgrade audio playback
2. played with Quicktime settings
However, I think I might have a workaround. You need to do the following,
1. Install Quicktime 7
2. Install iTunes
3. Download ffdshow (Sep 2014 version) and install the codecs: pretty much leaving all do default
4. Set audio quality in Sound and Quicktime options in control panel, and iTunes to 16bit 48k
5. In advanced options of Quicktime in control panel, deselect "Direct 3D" & "Enable directdraw on seondary display", ONLY tick "enable directdraw accerleration"
Well, at least this works for me for now.
HOWEVER!!!
@Apple! You need to address this issue once for all, I can't believe there is no solution. As a paying customer who buy quite a few of your movies in iTunes, I expect to have a harssell free experience. Consumers should NOT have to go through all these troubles trying to fix a product you have released and making billions out of.
Reason why I switched from Android to Apple for my phones and tablets is becasue of the seamless user experience, regretfully I have to admit, this advantage is quickly going away. The amount of glitches in your recent ios updates and itunes are simply unacceptable.

Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

7.01 & videos downloaded from iTunes

I had to go back down from 7.04 to 7.01 in order to import footage to FCE. So, does that mean I can't watch videos purchased from iTunes? I tried watching videos - I can see the video but can't hear the sound. Is this a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't?

this is creepy - I have 7.04 on the G5, which is running 10.3.9 and I can hear the audio when I play video downloaded from iTunes but can't see anything. when I boot to the external hard drive, which is running 10.4.5, I don't get anything at all.

Video playback from PB17 to Sony TV firewire port ?

I'm wondering if it's possible to get video playback from my PowerBook 17 to a Sony HDTV firewire port ? I can't see in prefs where you can do this. Is there some software that enables this? I tried to select firewire playback from Final Cut Pro even and that didn't work either. The TV recognises the Powerbook. I don't think it's possible but why not try?
Powerbook G4 1.33GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAM + I want Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB HD

This is what abrody has to say on the subject.
Yes, but only at 720 x 480 resolution. Some TVs offer higher resolutions and DVI ports where you can do a DVI to DVI connection. And actually there was a dongle which came with your Powerbook which supports S-Video via its S-Video port.

My macbook pro is already authorized, but a purchased song from iTunes keeps stating that my computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password, upon which a window confirms that my computer is already authorized. Yet the song still won't play and continues to state that my computer is not authorized.

If you live in a country in which you are allowed to re-download purchased music delete the track from the library and the HDD and re-download it.

ATV (Gen3) Newest updates severely distort audio playback from iTunes. Please Help!!!

I just updated my iTunes and ATV (Gen3) to the newest versions and immediately noticed severe distortion in audio playback from iTunes library. No hardware changes have been made and yesterday the sound quality was just fine. I have one running an optical cable into a high end receiver and another running off a HDMI cable into the TV with powered Speakers for output. I checked both systems on all inputs and it's only the Apple TV with the distortion. Someone please help as that is the only thing I really use on the device. iTunes version 12.0.1.26

Weird, I just opened iTunes to add some songs and now its playing fine.
Though I still can't figure out how to change the columns and having them stick to what I want .

What is your iTunes version?
If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

My itunes keeps pausing randomly + general MBP slowdown

Since a couple of days ago my MBP Intel (2010) has been playing around. iTunes keeps pausing songs then resuming them after a couple of seconds. Also, everything (Chrome, etc) seems to be slower. I can't exactly remember when it started, it seemed to be after I updated something (though i can't remember what). I've already verified/repaired permissions on disc manager. Any ideas?

I've been having the same problem for a few weeks now on my Intel iMac (late 2006 edition). In fact, my whole system is running ridiculously slow and keeps getting hung up (both in iTunes and pretty much every other function). I've upgraded to 2GB of RAM and I've run a disk utility repair, which has made some things run faster (finder and a few low profile programs like iCal), but my internet is still crazy slow (though fast on my iphone and my MacBook Pro), and all of my really useful programs (photo software, screenwriting software, internet on every platform I have, and iTunes) is still glacially slow.
And of course, the cursed iTunes pausing. It's so ridiculous I can't even sync my iPod. It just stalls and gives the wheel of death. I can't listen to newly dowloaded music through my computer and I can't put it on my iPod.
Ridiculous.
