Why does quiktime freeze when i try to play video?

I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp pro...before i had no problem with itunes or quicktime...but now whenever i try to play video through itunes it will freeze and i have to ctrlaltdelete and then cancel...then itunes will close down...when i try to open a video through quicktime the program freezes so i do the ctrlaltdelete then cancel and this time quicktime will play audio but no video...PLEASE HELP!!! i am going crazy, all drivers are installed and updated, i tried to repair and reinstall itunes and quicktime with no success

I would take a look at the video card driver. The lastest driver for a video card doesn't always mean it is going to be the best one for it or even work without causing problems.
Example, recently when going to microsoft's OS updates, there were a few updates needed, most security related, one was for the secondary monitor's video card. Well after they were installed, the computer would keep re-starting on its own.
Well the last change made was updating the video card driver. So I rolled it back in Device Manager, and that solved the problem. This is why I think it is foolish to have a windows computer setup to automatically update.
The problem your having is difficult to diagnose, more than likely a driver issue. It is not QT because that is only a program.
Hardware not configured properly will definately cause a freeze when playing mulimedia. Mostly if the jumpers are not setup correctly with master/slave for drives and in the BIOS.
Why was the OS XP pro reinstalled?

    First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

    Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
    I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

  • Why does iPad freeze when I try to publish a video to YouTube?

    When I try to upload a video to youtube from my iPad, the screen freezes when I tap "publish." After several minutes, the YouTube dialog box finally disappears and the preview screen of the video appears with a "Publishing to YouTube" progress bar at the bottom. But the bar never advances and the video never gets published. Does anyone know how to fix? Never had a problem before upgrading to IOS 7.
    Why did Apple screw up what was a perfectly easy way to upload videos?

    First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

    Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
    I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
    Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

    Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

  • Why does my mac when i try to format my stick say that unable to write to the last block of the device

    i bought a new mac with osx lion 10.7.why does my mac when i try to format my transcend 8 gb stick in disk utility say that it is unable to write to the last block of the device?please help me

    This may or may not work, but it's worth a try.
    Using Disk Utility, try an re-partition the drive into two partitions, making the second partition very small (a megabyte or two), then see if you can format the first partition normally. Leave the second partition alone.
    If this works, then the first partiton is what you will use.

    I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.

  • HT204291 I can play videos from youtube and it does just fine, but when I try to play videos i've bought from itunes in my "videos", it plays the sound but no video.  Please advise,,,

    Using airplay, with Iphone5 latest os, appletv3, I can play videos from youtube and internet just fine, but when I try to play videos bought from Itunes in my "videos" file, it only plays sound, no video.  Please advise,,,

    I am also having this issue.  Hear but not see. I am using the iTunes video app on my iPad to play a show I bought on iTunes.   A little pop up box comes up on the lower left of my tv showing the show , I can hear it but not see it.  Rebooted Apple TV and iPad. No help.  

  • WiFi connection drops when I try to play video

    This has been happening for months now. When I try to play video my WiFi connection gets dropped & it takes about 3 mins to pick up again. No problems on other web, YouTube is the main problem, but only because it's the site for so many vids. I've had other video sites drop the wiFi link too.
    Anyone know how to fix this? And are Apple doing anything to fix this video handling problem (except for dropping the YouTube app from the last iOS release)?
    Thanks

    Hmm. Apple will charge me $20 for a one off call, so I'm not fussed on doing that first up. I thought for sure other people would've had the same problem as me so thought it worth asking here. There are no Apple stores where I am. Not even sure if there's one in the country. There might be one up north but that's the other end of NZ to me.
    And it's not a service provider issue, there's nothing wrong with my internet connection at all. It's just video on the iPod.
    Maybe this doesn't make as much sense as I think it does .
    Honestly it is the stupidest thing that everything just falls over whenever I try to play video. I was thinking of getting an iPad (or a mini) but that's definitely on hold until I can sort out these issues. No point in an iPad if it might cough up the same problem.
    I'll keep searching online & see whether anyone else has had this issue. If there's really no-one then I might have to cough up the dough. Shame as otherwise it's a brilliant wee device & I'm permanently connected to it.

  • I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very fustrating

    I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very frustrating.  What am I doing wrong??

    Could you please visit https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and follow the instructions to get the latest version?  Once installed, please visit the Flash Player Help page and click the "Check Now" button.  Your Flash Player version should now be 17.0.0.134 which is the latest version.  That should fix the blocked plugin issue that you're running into.
    Thanks,
