Vista video playback problems after iTunes upgrade

Itunes worked perfectly with my Vista OS prior to the recent upgrade. Since installing the upgrade, videos will not play (I just get a blank screen) and I am bombarded with messages about "authorizing this computer" every time I try to view one. I authorize the computer using the Itunes "store" link, and then get another request to authorize the computer with every replay request. After "authorizing" again and again, I still get a blank screen. The scroller indicates the video is playing, but there is no picture. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, including the Vista "repair" option, but still have the same problem. I followed all the instructions--including using the "show artwork" option in the "View" link---nothing helps. Is it possible to uninstall the "upgrade" and reinstall the prior version of Itunes, which worked just fine????

ADDENDUM: The exact same problems (repeated requests to authorize computer, blank playback screen) occur when I try to preview any video, so the issue is not related to any specific video purchase. The preview "plays", but there is no video picture.

Problems after itunes upgrade.

I recently upgraded itunes to the current version on two of my windows/xp pc's.
On the first one I didn't have any problems.
On the second one, after the pc rebooted, all of the personal settings for the administrator account that was used to do the upgrade were gone, and the itunes library for the account was gone.
After some looking around on the pc, I found that the path for My Documents for the account had been changed from C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\My Documents to C:\Document and Settings\TEST\My Documents.
Everything under the original path for the account is still there, so all I need to do is get the My Documents path pointed back to where it originally was, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying that the path I am trying to point to is not authorized.
Does anyone know why the itunes upgrade would have changed the My Documents path? And does anyone know how I can change it back to where it should be pointing to?

Good news
I had no problems updating my ipod and iphone to iOS4. But all I wanted was the folder option, I knew that my 3G does not support multitasking due to the slower CPU and build in memory.
Here's a little help to decide about your update, in case you haven't see this yet.
Enjoy your ipod.
Compatibility
The iOS 4 Software Update works with the second- and third-generation iPod touch. Not all features are compatible with all devices.
Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.
Books are available on the iBookstore. Title availability is subject to change.
Faces works only with iPhoto on the Mac.

Video playback problems in iTunes 10.5.2/3

Hi,
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on my MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, 2,66 Ghz, Intel i7, and I have some issues with my video playback.
None of my movies/videos in iTunes will play. It's actually really annoying. I was having this problem already on iTunes 10.5.2. So today I tried reinstalling iTunes completely, due to the new version that came out, but I still have the problem. Any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks in advance!

I can't be the only one with this issue. It affects both my iTunes on my mac mini and my iBook

Smart Playlist problems after iTunes upgrade 10.6.1.7

Hi, I updated my version of iTunes to 10.6.1.7 and since then my smart playlists are not syncing to my iPhone properly. The selection of songs is scrambled, and so I have a variety of my top rated, audiobooks and other random songs. I have tried removing and resyncing the smart playlists to my iphone, but this has the same outcome. Also, the sync doesn't complete all stages so I end up with roughly half of my music from my smart playlist on my iPhone.
Not sure if this is an iTunes problem or iPhone problem, but it definitely only started after I upgraded iTunes.
Any others out there with the same issue or any suggestions?

Yepper.. got the same issue.. it is not sync'ing my Itunes play lists to my I pod touch.

On my ipod it's black and on my pc it's bright flashes of color.
Hmmm. I think you might have two different things going on there.
For iTunes (the PC), try starting with the "Disable Direct3D acceleration" section from the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows XP and 2000 video playback performance issues
For the iPod, try the following document:

New problem after Itunes upgrade. Help!

I did the upgrade to 5.0.1.4 and am having a problem that I don't see duplicated here.
I had no problems with the installation and Itunes starts just fine but when I update podcasts Itunes intermittently hangs up. The key word is intermittently. When I pull up windows task manager it shows Itunes "not responding". It will stay in that state for about 40 seconds and then run for 5 seconds. It will just cycle through this until the update is complete. A long process.
I've tried some of the suggestions I've seen in posts; reverting back to older versions, disabling spyware and virus checkers. It now has the same problem no matter what I do.
Can someone give me some advice on what I should do?
Thanks, - Michael

Michael,
This almost sounds like a firewall issue. You don't have any problems with hanging during other types of downloads in iTunes (such as downloading the free song), you don't have problems downloading in other applications like IE? You have the latest virus definition files for your firewall?

Video playback problems in iTunes 7

Ok, I have been experiencing this issue since I upgraded to iTunes 7. I create a playlist of videos and I can't play them back to back. I am forced to play one video at a time. When a video ends, you have to manually double-click on another one in the playlist to start it.
In iTunes 6, I could create a playlist of videos and just click play and iTunes would cycle through all the videos back to back.
Whatever this issue is has even transferred over to my iPod and affects video playlists the same way.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I can't be the only one with this issue. It affects both my iTunes on my mac mini and my iBook

TS1424 cannot "report a problem" after iTunes upgrade

Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.

No sound on purchased videos and movies after iTunes upgrade

I have iTunes 10.4.1.10 / Quicktime 7.7 on my desktop, purchased music videos and movies will not play the sound. Non purchased movies play the sound ok ?!?!?
I have iTunes 10.1.2.17 / Quicktime 7.6.9 on a netbook and all play ok.
Suggests that there is a configuration problem that theyare not telling the users about. Please can you advise what the problem is and a solution?

YouTube uses Adobe Flash, maybe you can re-install Flash or right click on the video and check the sound settings

TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?
It is NOT pretty.
Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

Driver-related video playback problems.

Hi,
I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A 256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE . The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot. Since upgrading to 56.55 and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' . This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64. Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
Thank you

What power supply u are using?
please list out the spec fully.

DataSource problems after BW upgrade

DataSource problems after BW upgrade
Upgrade from
SAP NetWeaver 2004s: SAP_BW 700 0012 SAPKW70012
to
SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0: SAP_BW 701 0007 SAPKW70107
BW system: PI_BASIS 7.01 SP 6
ECC/source system: PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 SP 11
Problem exists throughout, both with generic and standard DataSources.
Here is one specific example:
Generic DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
InfoPackage "ZXXXXXXXX(ZXXXXXXXX)" does not run. Error:
DataSource ZXXXXXXXX(SOURCESYS) must be activated
Message no. RSDS179
Then followed these steps:
1. Replicate Metadata from source system
2. Report RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL from SE38 for source system SOURCESYS and DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
Errors returned:
Inconsistent user object ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS for PSA /BIC/B000XXXX
Error saving DataSource ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS
DataSource ZXXXXXXXX (SOURCESYS) could not be activated
When I try to choose "Manage" from the context menu for the DataSource, I see an error:
Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B000XXXX: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS
Message no. RSM1294
The following notes have not helped:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1377274

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1489064
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1056060
And no other SDN threads seem to give fruitful suggestions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Just to help the folks out here.
In my case,
Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve (you reply was pretty accurate - but dint help me :-)).
I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
Procedure:
Take the psa name --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.
Regards,
Dubbu.

I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup.

Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

Hello all,
I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
-Sean

Two things to keep in mind
There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"
