Videos skipping in itunes (Resolved)

Videos skipped on my powerbook but not on my macbook, it frustrated me for months, then I remembered that I has 'volume logic' installed on my powerbook but not on my macbook as 'volume logic' was not available for intel macs until just recently.
Anyway as I had bought an ipod and mac speaker I had no need for the volume enhancer so I deleted it from library/itunes/itunes plugins/ and bingo smooth videos
You can't imagine how happy I am
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem

When playing music or videos, make sure all of your system resources are available. (Dont' run any other programs)

Windows Vista + iTunes Video = skipping

I have a computer with Windows Vista and I can't get iTunes video to work properly. The sound will be fine, but the video skips and stops and then finally I get an error message saying that iTunes has to close. Please tell me that there is some kind of solution. I have updated my Vista software, my itunes software and anything else that I can think of.

First Update your iTunes Version to the newest one!
Got this issue with older iTunes when Vista was new.
If its still there check the CPU Usage and RAM Usage with the Task Manager (STRGALTDEL)

Itunes videos skipping

I have read a few posts already with this same sort of question, but none of them seem to have been answered yet.
I just bought a new computer last week--> it's an HP dv6000, with Windows Vista...
I transferred all my music and my purchased Itunes episodes and videos, but the videos aren't working properly.
The audio is fine, but the video skips and is very choppy, and it hurts my eyes to watch.
I have tried updating my video driver, and a few other things that Itunes suggested, but they still skip.
What can I do to make them work?

Replying to my own post to add that it is not just the sound that skips, but the picture. It seems very random.

Itunes videos skip and are not synced with sound. Using windows 7.

Videos are not synced with sound and skip in itunes only, using windows 7. No other video issues, only in itunes.

It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

Itunes purchased video skips

I bought the replay of Super Bowl 43. First 2 and a half hours are flawless .. but during the last 10 minutes of the show .. the audio and video skip .. losing words and scenes. Reading other posts, this does not seem to be a common problem. Did I just get a bad feed or could something have happened with my MBA during the last few minutes of downloading?
Thank you.

Go here and fill out the form: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Use the "purchase(s) - problem" category. Give as much detail as possible.
Someone from the iTunes store will contact you by email, usually within a day.

Video playback in Itunes

Recently I bought a brand new HP Pavillion. I am running Windows Vista Premium and I started having trouble with video playback. When I go to play a video the audio is heard, the video skips dramatically, then at a certain point in the video Itunes shuts down. I have contacted the itunes help by email many times and they all told me the same things. Reinstall Update ect. I did everything and I know it is not the brand new computer. Here are my Specs:
HP DV6000z
Amd Turion Dual Core Processor
1024MB RAM
Itunes 7.1.1
Quicktime 7.1.5
I really need help with this issue please tell me the answer!!! Thx
HP Other OS Vista Home Premium

drat. okay, for some models HP recently released a "Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update" that has been fixing SATA problems like this on PCs with certain NVidia componentry. but i checked in at the Vista downloads page for your DV6225US, and it wasn't being listed there:
Software & Driver downloads: HP Pavilion dv6225us Notebook PC (Vista 32-bit)
... still they may be planning on rolling out similar updates for other models, so it might be worth clicking on the "Notify Me" button down at the bottom of that page, just in case something does come out for your dv6225us.
(if it does, it will probably be in the "Driver - Storage" section on your page.)

Burning a DVD with m4v music videos purchased from iTunes

Instead of buying Apple TV, I would like to burn a DVD with my collection of music videos purchased on iTunes. Most of them are Protected MPEG-4 video files, having the extension .m4v
My question what I need to do to burn a DVD with these files, without loosing the quality and maintaining the video's aspect ratio? I don't mind to upgrade my iDVD programme to the version of 2008 and QuickTime to the version of Pro, if that will help to resolve my problem. Currently iDVD 6 does not support the protected m4v files, hence I can't burn them into a DVD for watching on TV screen. Your advice is highly appreciated.

This is from the Terms of Service page for iTunes. The bottom line is that you can't burn the videos to DVD.

Backed-up purchased videos unrecognized on iTunes

I had my Toshiba 80G hard drive start to die on me last week, so I burned everything of importance on DVD's before sending my Powerbook G4 into the shop. When I went to re-import all the music, podcasts, and videos that I'd downloaded and purchased, the videos didn't appear.
I even tried created a folder called 'videos' in my itunes folder, but it doesn't show up. The m4v files are there, but iTunes won't recognize them, import them, or play them when I double-click on them. I paid good money for these music videos, and I took the time to back them up. Why can't I play them?
PowerBook G4 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm sure it's tacky to reply to your own post of your own question, but since I resolved the issue by myself (and by accident), I thought it might be worthwhile to put the solution down in words in case anyone else actually ends up with the same problem.
The problem was solved by one or both of the following things I did:
I downloaded iTunes 7, and I downloaded the latest Quicktime (which apparently is still not good enough to look at the mac commercials on their web site <grr>). One or both of these things allowed my computer to recognize and import the videos I'd previously purchased on iTunes and backed up on a data DVD.
So if this happens to you, try what I did. It might work for you too.

Audio and video skip after installing USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2

Hi community,?Since installing my USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX, audio and video skip when being played with either windows media player, winamp, iTunes, neroshow, winDVD 7, creatives own media players etc. in fact anything I can try, won't work. Games are fine, in fact the sound is brilliant. I'd be really grateful for any feedback on this, not being able to listen to music is driving me crazy. Thanks.

Hello thebro90,I had the same problem.After tryed everything, uninstall, reinstall audio drivers, etc, I finally manage to solved it by updating the CPU drivers... I have a AMD Atlhon X2 4800+Never had the problem again.Best regards.

Trouble transferring videos purchased in iTunes to video iPod

I found this to be a bit curious. I just purchased the White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" video in iTunes (along with 4 other music videos from other bands), and I was unable to transfer the file to my video iPod (the other four videos transferred without problem). The message said that it could not be played on this iPod. Is this a widespread or unique problem? I thought all videos purchased on iTunes were compatible with the video iPod, if not, is there a way to determine this before purchasing? Is there a way to solve this problem without purchasing additional software?

Unhelpful boilerplate response from the iTunes customer service team below. I have all of the updates (for iTunes & video iPod) and still no luck. I've even done the restore to factory settings thing, and also, no luck.
Has anybody else encountered this quirk (see my original question) and managed to work around it without purchasing any additional software?
From iTunes customer service:
Dear Customer,
We're sorry you're having trouble transferring music to your iPod. Here are
some resources that might help resolve this issue.
If you have never transferred songs to your iPod before, read this short
article to get started:

The most common reason songs won't transfer is that the iPod software or
iTunes is out-of-date. Please visit these links to download and install the
latest version of the iPod's software and iTunes.

iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

Previewing video in the iTunes store not working

When I go to preview any video in the iTunes store, I just get a blank pop-up square but the video never play. I also have this problem in Safari 5 (some videos work, some don't - those that don't work in chrome).
Would appreciate any help.

Is it an issue connecting to the store, or signing into your account? For example, can you browse through the store and preview songs, search for artists, etc, but you can't purchase anything, or sign into your account? A lot of people... namely Starbucks employees, have been having trouble siging into their accounts due to a free song sampler they received. It had two codes, one for a small song playlist (the sampler) and another for a free song download. We've ALL had a problem signing in after entering the code for a free song. It's now become much more trouble than that one song was worth. Keep e-mailing them and maybe we'll see some results.

HT5100 I downloaded a video course from iTunes U to my iMac. How do I transfer the video to Apple TV to watch on my big screen TV?

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

I can't get video purchased from iTunes to play on iTunes

So, I upgraded to iTunes 6 and I installed the upgrade Quicktime 7.0.3 that came with the upgraded iTunes. I have all the current XP Pro updates installed, I have all the memory, videocards, etc etc that are in the system requirements for iTunes 6.
I go to the music store to see how this new and snazzy video purchasing works and I bought a music video of a band I like. iTunes Music Store takes my money, iTunes downloads the video and it's in my library. Cool.
I then select the video and a picture shows up in the bottom left hand corner and I click play and sit back to enjoy this new feature.
Nothing happens. nada, zip, zero. It just doesn't play. New sound, no video, nothing. I try it again. I go to the help menu the only thing they say about problems is to give me a link to a systems requirement list.
I open up Quicktime since the help file also says I can play my purchased video on either iTunes or Quicktime. I try to open the file and I get:
Error - 36: an I/O error occured
I check everything I can think of and still nothing.
I drop iTunes Support and they send me an email back 4 days later that says, sorry, we can't help with technical problems so deal with it (but I can't find a single article about this problem on the website) or call our help line and probably pay a fee.
I'm at a real loss as to what to do. I bought this video (granted it was only a couple of dollars, but still) and can't play it. Do any of the wonderful people out there have any ideas? I'm just glad I didn't buy more than this one video.
Thanks so very much in advance,
Shalva del Castillo

I know exactly how you feel. I bought a video and haven't been able to watch it either. Imagine all the "couple of bucks" here and there that Apple gets to keep.
Especially when they is no one here to answer questions and we need to trackdown someone. The FAQ's are useless, like every other companies FAQ. Nothing has anything to do with real problems.
