Windows 8.1 with Itunes HD Playback

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to 8.1 and been keeping on top of the numerous itunes updates, However now itunes stutteres when playing HD Video from the itunes store, and the audio lags and stutters, Ive Updated to the latest and ive re-installed. Quicktime is also installed. It used to play HD Video flawlessly, and still does just not in itunes. And i hate watching SD qualtity as it looks really grainy, anybody else had this problem? Is there a fix?
BBC Iplayer plays full HD tv programmes without any stuttering.
Regards
Jonathan Clegg

I am having the same issues. I would liket to see this resolved soon so I can continure to keep purchasing the season passes of the walking dead as I have for the last three seasons. I also have no problems in Hulu or Netflix running in HD or even on YouTube. This has been a problem for over a month and it would be really nice if Apple and iTunes would quit dragging their feet in a fix.

I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

It started after I bought a new PC, everything worked fine at the old one.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

This sounds like you configured the phone to sync contacts with iCloud or with an MS Exchange email account. If you want to sync directly with your computer you will need to disable the over the air sync settings on the iPhone.

SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work. In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
Completely different story on the Win7 machine. Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally. Workaround: minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns. Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably. The video appears in slow motion. The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?). Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio. (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job. With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player. In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes. This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair. After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there. I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.

Problem with iTunes Music Playback

Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
Thanks

Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

Cannot do wifi sync after update IOS 6 using windows vista pc with itunes 10.7

I cannot do the wifi sync,I am using IPAD 3 with IOS 6.I heard people said to do synchronous wireless.It would work I using Windows Vista,then I using Itunes 10.7.Somebody can help me to solve these problem or give me feedback to solve these problem.

Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
1) Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
2) Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
The bat file should contain these lines:
net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
net start "Apple Mobile Device"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
Happy syncing!

Windows Update Complications with Itunes

A few weeks ago, my computer pushed an update to windows that I didn't have the option to delay any further. I believe it was in connection with the Windows 8 / 8.1 update. After the update was pushed, I also upgraded iTunes to the most recent version, 12.0.1.26.
After the updates, I was no longer able to play songs on iTunes. I was able to open the application and click on a song to play. The song shows at the top player bar, but remains at 0:00.
After searching the iTunes and Windows forums, I saw that many others were having these errors and there were several fixes. I started working through the fixes, one on the Windows forum, which suggested that the file QTmoviewin.dll file was the issue and needed to be deleted. Subsequently, I found several other fixes on this forum suggesting that it only needed to be copied and moved, but as I have been working on this issue over the past several weeks, once I went to restore the file I had deleted, it was no longer available in my recycle bin to restore.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to get the file back, but it doesn't bring that specific file back. I have tried downloading the file from dll.com, but each time I get an error that the install cannot be completed.
I have reached my tech-saavy limits with this one and need help. How can I either restore the file I have deleted but is no longer in my recycle bin or get the file from a secure website that will allow complete installation?
Thanks!!!

The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing another CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes
With that one, I'd try the following document:

How to I simply authorize a new windows 8 computer with itunes 11?

I cannot figure out how to authoriza a new computer in the itunes store. I only have 2 current computers so should be able to do this, just cannot find in itunes11. Using windows 8.

Store menu -> Authorize. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Why Apple chose to hide the menus by default I cannot explain.

Synchronize my media from Linux and Windows shared locations with iTunes to iDevices?

Hello.
Is it possible for an updated 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3's iTunes to synchronize/import my MP3, OGGs, WMA, videos, etc. from network shares (Samba with Windows and Linux)? Or do I have to copy all the files (huge!!) to the local HDD for iTunes? I just got a iPod Nano (6th generation and 8 GB). I keep all my media in one location for all computers and devices to share.
Thank you in advance.

Hi again.
Thanks all. It looked like I was able to get iTunes to show my almost 11 GB of songs (5.5 days to listen to all). Some of the WMA were converted. Obviously, a few OGG files weren't. It took a long time to finish (ran it overnight). I was able to synchronize most of them to my iPod Nano even though it only can hold about 7.25 GB of it.
Is it me or is adding new songs tricky? I even told the new iTunes installations to scan for media, but they didn't do anything. I did this with two different updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 machines. I had to drag and drops my music into iTunes' playlist (new one). Weird.

Iphone4 and windows 8 issue with itunes syncing music

I am trying to add more songs to my iphone 4. when i add folder to my library and try to transfer it to the current playlist, it won't let me.

Is this the computer the device normally syncs with?
Is "Manually manage media" enabled?
iTunes is designed to synce media to the device. What is described above is not syncing.
To sync content, connect the device.
Select the device in the side bar.
Select the appropriate tab at the top for the type of content to manage.
Select the content in question desired to sync.
Sync.

HT1329 Is there a possible way for me to sync all my iPod Touch (4G) 's content to a Windows 8 Laptop with iTunes? and be able to continue syncing weekly?

So I've had this Windows laptop since 2009 and its very broken and slow but it has all my iPod's content on it (iTunes).
Recently I bought a Windows 8 Laptop, and I'd really like to sync all the content from my iPod Touch 4 (mostly the songs) to my new laptop without having to delete anything important.
(I also have a couple older iPods, but none of them have the same content as the one on the iPod Touch incase that helps)
Thanks.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...
