Video not working in iTunes
I've posted on a few other forums and nobody has been able to help me out with this. I think my Mac hates me for some reason. Anyway, here's the problem. If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have an ibook (G4) and I'm running 10.4.2 I have the most current upgrade of iTunes (7.01 unless there's a more recent one I'm unaware of) and video doesn't work at all in it. It works just fine on every other computer I've tried it on, and I can't for the life of me figure out the problem. I'm dying to add some mp4 videos to my iPod but I can't get this to function.
I've tried reverting to older versions of iTunes. I've tried removing and re-installing iTunes. I've tried various different videos and none work (all of them work just fine on other machines). I'm really at a loss as to why the videos won't work in iTunes.
I've tried adding them to my playlist both by just dragging them off the desktop and into the playlist, as well as by using the "import" function. I've tried control-clicking the files on the desktop and using "oopen with" iTunes. In the latter example, if iTunes is open, nothing happens at all. If iTunes is closed when I do "open with" iTunes opens up, but doesn't open the file or do anything with it.
I'm completely at a loss. Like I said... it only seems to be an issue on this computer. I'm hoping there's an easy fix that I've totally overlooked, but at this point I feel like I've tried everything and haven't been able to get any video at all to work in iTunes on this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Alternately, are there other programs out there that are capable of adding video to an iPod other than iTunes? I know there are iTunes alternatives for music, and for getting music/videos/files off iPods and onto the computer's hard drive, but I haven't found any that are capable of adding video to an iPod other than iTunes.
My entertainment on my drive home is depending on this! Please help! haha
