Video Distorted/Torn (iTunes, Youtube, etc..)

[michaiel]

I updated to the latest version of iTunes 11.1.3 and Mavericks 10.9.1 on my Hackintosh. Now I have the distorted/torn screen image when I play iTunes TV or movies. These are mostly video tutorials I had originally imported into iTunes. I do not own any video content download thru iTunes. Anyone else experienced this? I have had no trouble with any of this until I updated to Mavericks.

I have included a pic as well..

My graphics card is...

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 OC 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 3.0 2xDVI-D/HDMI/D-SUB Graphics Card GV-N650OC-2GI

Thanks

Try disabling your onboard video chip in BIOS.

Thanks for the reply. I will try that tonight and let everyone know..

Yes, please do. It worked for me. Every video problem I had went away!

My card is a GTX650 1 gig.

I did not find anything in my BIOS that worked...

which system definition are you using? (mac mini, imac, mac pro, etc....)

changing from mac mini to imac solved my video problems with iTunes.
- the problem stems from having a dedicated GPU versus on board graphics
- original mac mini does not have a dedicated GPU
- turning off hardware acceleration in You-Tube videos (right click video) helped too

I am running the Mac Mini 6,2.

I will try the iMac definition and that makes sense now that you have mentioned the onboard graphics. I just never had a problem running this Hack on 10.8 with the same Mac Mini definition.

I had also turned off hardware acceleration in You-Tube videos.

Thanks for the reply. I will report in when I try the definition change this weekend.

I changed my definition to iMac 14,2 and now my iTunes movies and TV work!
Thank you everyone for helping on this one....
