I was wondering if anyone else has or is having this problem. Whenever I scroll through the itunes store, it becomes very choppy. I have the new macbook (don't think that matters at all) and it occurs when I scroll manually or use the two-finger scroll. I noticed this like a week ago but thought it would just go away but it's getting really annoying.
View 1 RepliesI have a excel spreadsheet of price lists from one of my suppliers. When I use Excel 2008 on the mac, it's VERY choppy to scroll through the pricelist, to the point where its unusable. I open the same price list in Windows XP using parallels, and its smooth as butter.

I bought the Lewis Black stand up show. Lewis is hysterical of course, and while the resolution is less than most pirated media I have seen, it was good enough for me for two dollars.
However, I have noticed that at times it just sorta lags/skips. It's like I ma streaming it on the web and it has to rebuffer or whatever.
I did a search and found nothing
why are all my iTunes videos so damn choppy?! High Quality Youtube videos are "ok," but HD Youtube videos are just as bad as trying to watch anything on iTunes.
what do i need to upgrade (word choice?) to successfully watch iTunes videos crisply. i'm assuming it's like a graphics card or a processor or something. i could buy a decent computer in the next couple of months but i'm not because my parents are strongly against me upgrading anything because i'm going to college Fall 2010, so they said i'll just get a high-end something or other when the time comes. the point of what i just rambled about was is there something on my current PC that i can upgrade?
I love the idea of a one-stop media center like iTunes, but as each new feature is added it just feels too big and slow to me now. It takes forever to open, it lags even when I just try scrolling through apps, it sends regular genius updates to Apple, it has a radio, ringtones, movies, tv shows, the list goes on. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Playback is choppy, with some stuttering and static noises...It does this even when playing straight to the computer speakers...I've disconnected my router to make it isn't the culprit (it slows down my internet connection quite a lot).

Okay, got an iBook G4, 1.2 ghz, 1.2 gb ram, OS 10.4.11.Made it a Frankenmac, hooked it up to the TV (converter) and a 2 TB ext drive (down to <200 gb).Some vids play fine, some are choppy. Choppier now than before, wondering if the ext drive's dwindling free space is a factor, may have to get a second. Even so, still was choppy early on.Looked at the info of the smooth vids vs the choppy vids. Seems the choppy ones have higher bitrates, or different apps used to code them. BTW, all mp4.Guessing it might be a bitrate thing, though others w/ very low bitrates are choppy, too.

I have a Rev A MBA but for the first time I just downloaded a TV show from Itunes and tried watching it back. It was very jumpy, freezing and video and audio were sometimes out of sync. I turned off all other applications, which improved it, but did not solve it. I tried downloading a second one and had the same problem.
Is this common? I would have thought of all applications to work well, Itunes should be one of them.
I have a Mac Mini 2011, I started having audio playback problems with about 90 percent of my purchased Itunes movies. The audio is fine as long as you don't maximize the viewing window, as soon as you do the audio become choppy. I keep all my movies on an external hard drive, 1Terrabyte Western Digital Mybook (the one recommended for macs. I even tried copying a movie onto the computer hard drive with the same result. This all seemed to start after I had my mac mini hard drive replaced.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a batch of HD video downloads in my iTunes Store queue that I can't delete. Before it was annoying, having to purchase both the regular video and HD video, then delete the unwanted HD download from my queue list, but now it's a problem. I can't empty the unwanted HD downloads, and for me to download them all will tie up my connection for a week or more.
I do not have the bandwidth
I'm having problems with iTunes video playback under 10.4.11. I'm on a 733Mhz Digital Audio G4, which I realize is somewhat below the iTunes specs, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get rid of the choppiness in video playback. My machine has a PATA drive but it is hooked to a SATA card.
View 4 Replies View RelatedRunning a G4 (dual 1 ghz, 2Gig mem, GeForce4 Ti 4600 video card) and video plays very choppy for some applications, especially for sites like Hulu. Just hooked it up to my 52" LCD and it was REALLY choppy on there, which I guess I can understand, but not sure why it is on everything else. Right now all I have is a 17" acrylic, any ideas why its so choppy? Anything I can do to speed it up or am I just out of luck?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen time machine backup is running, iTunes playback is sometimes choppy. I have a brand new 27in iMac (i5) and not much else running. I'm new to Mac and not sure what I should expect in terms of performance impact when time machine is running. No other problems with the iMac. I've had it over a month and all good. I'm also pretty sure I've played music while time machine is running before without any issues. Also, time machine backup takes a lot longer than I expect (seems like 10-15 minutes but I didn't clock it). If it's running once per hour, the diff each hour should be small. And I'm not doing much besides playing music, doing some email and surfing the web. Is there a way to see what Time Machine thinks has changed and has decided to back up this hour?

Anybody else experiencing this particular issue?

View 20 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a few albums from itunes today. I thought most stuff up there was now standard mp3 and not silly proprietary formats. alas the albums are in m4a format, and thus unreadable by a 3rd party application I use to slow down the tunes so I can learn them easier. How do I ensure that I am downloading only standard mp3s from itunes? I cant find a menu setting, and I cant find a column to show me the format of the song I am downloading.
