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)

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

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.

Windows Vista, Itunes 10.7, ipod Classic, scan and fix message - why?

I am trying to connect my wife's Ipod Classic to our Windows Vista computer. I get a Scan and Fix Message for the Ipod from Windows. I don't let it scan and click continue. Itunes is frozen and won't recognize the ipod. This has happened since upgrading to Itunes 10.7. Also Itunes is choppy in playing all video content since upgrading to Itunes 10.7.
I have checked system requirements and driver upgrades. So far I have no fix. One site recommended turning off WiFi sync for all devices in Itunes. But of course the device must be connected, and mine won't connect. All my itunes video is languishing. :-(

Wi-Fi sync won't apply since you have an iPod Classic and it doesn't contain any Wi-Fi hardware.
To get rid of the Scan and Fix error, see this page: http://www.yourlocaltech.com/resolve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-i pod-or-other-devices/
We'll start there for now.

IPod will not install on Windows Vista, iTunes is fine?

Hello,
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
Thanks,
Brian

Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

Windows Vista/iTunes will not recognize 3GS

I've never had this problem before, my iPhone/Laptop has been working fine for the few years that I've had it. Not only will the iPhone not show up on iTunes, but it's not even showing up on My Computer. I've attempted almost every troubleshooting method this site and others have to offer that I've lost count as to how many I've tried. iTunes is updated and I'm running iOS 4.0.1.
I've disabled firewalls, I've disabled/enabled Apple Mobile Device in the Service menus; I've also gone to the Device Manager menu's but it doesn't even show up. Any help would be appreciated.

Really guys? Nothing? Since my last post I've tried taking the SIM card out. Done both DFU and Recovery Mode. Tried going back to later version of iTunes and Apple Mobile Device. I've also run Diagonstics and this is what I got. Maybe it'll help.

>*So here I am with the issue still not resolved. How do i Download and install the latest chipset drivers >in order to have Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista recognise my ipod?
Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
It would list all devices and chipset name too.
I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

Sounds like you will need to Restore the iPod.
Here are some articles for reference:

Running Windows Vista, and upgraded to Itunes 11. I am trying to access the Itunes Store, but I am getting an error message (-50) when trying to get into the store. Going through Windows updates, but still getting the same error message. Any suggestions?

Just in case, even though you're running a newer version of iTunes, let's try giving the following document a try:

Windows vista/iTunes doesnt recognize ipodtouch

Hi,
I just bought a new ipod touch, and treid connecting it to my pc. the first time i plugged it in windows vista said something about new hardware recongized and installing drivers, i waited till it was done and then checked iTunes. My ipod was not visible there, then i checked window explorer and it wasnt visible there either. I turned on my ipod and it just shows a picture of a cable and plug and then an arrow pointing at itunes. So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, turned the ipod on and off, checked my device manager (which doesnt show the ipod touch either) for any issues with the usb ports. I have no clue whats wrong with it! I'm going to try and plug it into a different pc to see if that one will recognize it, but I raelly need it to work on my own pc. Any suggestions are really welcome!
cheers,
Conrad.
(Edit: Add hard resetting the ipod to things I've treid and didnt work list)

Hey Conrad,
Make sure you're plugging the iPod touch directly into the PC and not into a hub, monitor, or keyboard.
What security software is running on the PC? Try disabling it or reconfiguring it.
These two articles will provides tips that may resolve the issue.

I can't re install iTunes on Windows Vista- itunes error 7/Windows error 5.

I have updated my computer with Service Pack 1 & 2 for Windows Vista. For some reason Itunes was deleted and when I try to reinstall it I get a message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7, Windows error 5" I have done the following to try and remedy this problem:
1. Delete all Apple software (to start over and reinstall) - I cannot delete Apple Application Support (Access Denied)
2. Repair itunes - Same message
3. Logged on as Administrator and tried to take ownership of the file that denied permission - Access Denied
4. Tried to install MS .NET Framework 3.5 & 4.0: 3.5 was succesful but 4.0 was not - something went wrong in the installation.
Please help!
