Videos not playing in itunes HELP

So I downgraded my iTunes 11 to 10.6 since I hate the new interface. But I've come with two roadblocks.
1) videos that I've purchased OR i want to preview before purchase will not play. they are just black screens and the timer does not move, there is no audio, no anything. when i re upgrade to 11, everything is fine. but i want my 10.6 back.
2) EVERY TIME i try to play a video, regardless of what video in my iTunes, it prompts me to authorize my computer and I enter my information, but it prompts me every single time, followed by the message that 1 out of the 5 computers you can authorize is authorized.
anyone help : (

Never mind. I found iTunes 6.05 in the Downloads section of the Apple page. Now I'm back, thank God.

  • Videos not playing in iTunes 7, where can I get previous version of iTunes

    Since "upgrading" to iTunes 7, I can't get any of my videos to play in iTunes--they show up but nothing happens when I try to play them. This includes videos I bought via iTunes and DVDs I imported using Handbrake. I didn't upgrade to Quicktime 7 because I was afraid it would cause even more problems for the movies spent hours importing. So I have two questions:
    (1) If I get the upgrade to Quicktime 7, will that allow my videos to play?
    (2) If not, how can I revert back to the earlier version of iTunes? I have tried searching the forums and have found some information about how to remove iTunes 7, but can't find where to download the previous version (would that be 6.05--I can't remember).
    Please help! Thanks.

  • Purchased videos not playing in iTunes

    Hello, recently my purchased TV shows are not playing in iTunes. Video window comes up, and the play time increases, but there is no video or sound.
    If I go into "C:\Users\Derek\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\TV Shows\" and open the m4v file in QuickTime the videos play just fine. (they just refuse to play in iTunes)
    Any ideas?
    PS: I'm on latest version of both iTunes and QT (just checked).

    Any ideas?

  • Videos not playing in iTunes

    I cannot play my videos in iTunes 7.0.1. They are purchased via iTunes on my G5 tower and I used to be able to play them on my MacBook Pro laptop before I uploaded 7.0. I can view the videos and high light them but when I press play, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Also, the videos will not upload to my iPod (it says that I am not authorized). I'm assuming that once I can get them to play in iTunes, the iPod problem will be fixed.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the tip. I tried downloading the latest QuickTime and it keeps freezing mid-download (this is not an internet connection issue). I thought updating my OS might help, so I attempted to download the latest OS 10.4.8 and that freezes mid-download as well. Why is it that I can't download anything?

  • ItunesU videos not playing in Itunes but play ok if you download to laptop's drive and run them from windows directory

    I'm having a problem playing some ItunesU videos, some play okay, some just show black screen and don't play, others show a still image but then doesn't play when trying to view them from itunes store. The audio files play with no issues.
    I am using windows 7.
    However, if I download the videos that don't play to the laptop's drive and run them from the windows directory they play okay. I don't want to have to download videos to see if they are something I'd like to watch.
    Just for reference, an example of a video that plays okay is by UC Berkeley Math 16A 001, Fall 2011. Another is Introduction to Robotics by MIT.
    An example that just shows blank screen is Stanford's Iphone & Ipad development, Fall 2011, both HD and SD versions.
    While an example of a video that just shows the initial image but doesn't play is Harvard's Statistics 110. If you adjust the time of the video, the video moves to that part of the video but only shows the image at that time, ex. at 13:02, but doesn't play.
    I've tried reinstalling quicktime first, then itunes. I've also tried putting directdraw in safe mode, but the problem videos still won't play.
    Could it be some setting, since it plays when the file is downloaded but won't play straight from itunes store online (ie. pressing the play button beside the video in the itunes list).
    Help pls.

    You might have more luck asking on a general Windows troubleshooting site, but my guess would be an invalid or old audio or CD driver (or firmware in the drive). You might try checking those to make sure you have the correct and most current drivers.

  • Video wont play from Itunes, HELP?

    You might check on your network router to see if IPv6 is turned on, if so try turning it off.

  • (Some) videos not playing in iTunes

    I just downloaded and imported 30 new videos into my iTunes library, but when I play them, I only get video and audio in 5 of them--all of the others are only audio, no video.  I opened them all in Quicktime and they play just fine, but every time I try them in iTunes, there's still no video.  The same thing happened a few nights ago with some similar videos I've had in my library for years, but all I did was close the window once and then they started playing fine; this time, I've tried closing the windows and restarting everything several times and nothing has happened.  I am running the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7, if that helps at all.

    Ditto. Bought Beady Eye iTunes LP. None of the videos run under Mac OS X 10.6.6.
    Fine on iPhone. Nothing doing on desktop. What gives?

  • Videos not playing in itunes. Causes crash.

    I own an 8gb ipod touch. Recently, whenever I tried to play my tv shows (that weere bought in itunes) it would crash and say this movie can not be played. I went into itunes, and played a tv show. There was a green screen and itunes stopped working. I already looked into disabling directx and stuff, yet it still happens. By the way, I use windows vista.

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

  • My ipad2 will not play my iTunes video that i just purchased; i've deleted and reloaded, but they still won't play, only the music

    My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?

    You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

  • HELP ME!!! Ipod not playing in itunes

    i am having trouble because my ipod will not play in itunes. the songs are just shaded gray. i also used to be able to get songs from any computer but i cant anymore. the ipod will update and erase all of my recent library. please help!!!
    PC   Windows XP  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Both of these happen when the iPod is set to automatically update all songs and playlist. They are not necessarily problems, just the way the preference is.
    Here is how to change it to manually manage songs, which will let you update songs from any computer (don't steal music) and the songs will not be greyed out in iTunes...

    The audio format or the codec may not be recognized by the iTunes
    It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
    The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
    It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

  • DVDSP Help - Video not playing in Viewer during some assets, only audio...

    Video not playing in Viewer during some assets, only audio until paused. once you hit the space bar or pause, the video shows up in viewer? same results when burnd to disc.
    when dragging cursor through out timeline (track 1) video shows up in viewer fine too.
    any advice on what could be wrong?
    at first i was thinking this was a memory problem, i added another Gig of ram and the problem still exhists.
    thanks!

    Hi Crazy Dan:
    It's a kind of bug in DVDSP Simulator. If you build your project in your hard drive and test it with DVD Player all video will play fine.
    I would like to tell you where exactly the problem is located, but it's just a Simulator problem.
    Try building your project.
    Hope that helps !
