No image and only audio in converted files with iTunes 12.10.2, how to fix?
Currently, TunesKit M4V Converter for Windows cannot work properly on the version of iTunes 12.10.2 and later, this is possibly because Apple has adopted a new encryption technology. If you use the current version of TunesKit, the output video might have no image, with only audio tracks. But don't worry, our developers are working hard on it, and we will inform you once it's solved. You can follow our Facebook or Twitter to get the latest update.
Now the solution is to downgrade your iTunes to the lower version such as 12.9.0, and TunesKit will work well on it. You can download it here: iTunes 12.9.0. Don't forget to re-download the iTunes movies that you want to convert. You will also need to de-authorize and then re-authorize your computer on the old iTunes 12.9.0. If it still can't be solved, please feel free to get in touch with us via : [email protected].

If you can't locate any iTunes file in TunesKit drop-down menu by clicking 'Add Files' button, please try the following methods:
1 Go to 'iTunes > Preferences > Advanced' to check whether the option of 'Share iTunes Library XML with other applications' is checked or not. If not, please check that option and open TunesKit again.
2If the first method doesn't solve the problem, please directly drag and drop the iTunes files to TunesKit to converter.
The program requires registration each time I launch it
You can fix this problem by installing TunesKit for Windows as administrator. To do that, you need to right-click on the setup file and select 'Run as administrator'. Then enter the administrator's password for your computer and install TunesKit.
iTunes crashes during conversion
The causes of iTunes crash can be varied. It might be used by other programs besides TunesKit, or you may have operated iTunes during conversion.
To solve this problem, please simply close other programs which are lauched in background while you are using TunesKit. If that doesn't fix the problem, please let us know by contacting us at: [email protected]

Is it normal to receive 'Play' command from iTunes everytime when I start the conversion?
Yes. It's normal. And you have to accept the 'Play' command to run the conversion successfully. TunesKit will send the 'Play' command to iTunes everytime when you start convert iTunes movies to make sure if the computer is authorized to play the movie or not.

Can't add or convert iTunes files with TunesKit after upgrading to iTunes 12.1
Update: The issue was resolved already. TunesKit for Windows fully supports the latest iTunes 12.4 or later now.
Many users have found that after upgrading to the latest release of iTunes 12.1, TunesKit for Windows didn't work properly. If you are now facing such a problem, please kindly note that this is because the new iTunes 12.1 is made to a full 64-bit application that is not supported by the current version of TunesKit. Our programmers are now working on it and trying to fix the problem ASAP. But before the official solution is available, we suggest you not to install the new iTunes 12.1 update if you have not done it yet. But if for any chance you have already upgraded to the new version, please downgrade it to the previous 12.0.1 (32-bit) of iTunes in order to use TunesKit properly. Please follow this tutorial to find out how to downgrade iTunes 12.1 to 12.0.1.
Lose AC3 5.1 surround sound after conversion with TunesKit
Some users may find that after conversion, there's no AC3 5.1 surround sound contained in the converted iTunes movies when playback. In fact, the AC3 5.1 audio is retained in the output file, but not all media players could support playing AC3 5.1 sound. That has something to do with AC3 codec authorisation but not with TunesKit. To be more specifically, if you test the original iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 audio track in iTunes, you'll find there's no audio if you select the AC3 5.1 track while playing. In this case, we suggest you try VLC media player or KMPlayer that have been authorized with the AC3 codec. For other media players, you may need to purchase or install specific AC3 5.1 codec in order to play the AC3 audio properly.
If you want to play converted iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 audio in Apple TV, please drop the movie file into Subler and select the AC3 5.1 sound track, then click the option to fix faulty audio fallback.

A lot of Android users are complaining that Spotify doesn't work on their phone's lock screen. Ideally, when you are listening to songs on Spotify and lock your screen, you should be able to see a lock screen widget with a few details — album art, song title, singer, and buttons to control the playback.
During my research, I found that the problem is not specific to select phone models but can happen on any smartphone. That can be frustrating as most people like to listen to music when doing other stuff like working out, traveling and other activities. Unlocking the phone just to interact with the Spotify app seems tedious.
Let’s take a look at some potential solutions.
1. Try to Log out and Log Back In
Install Spotify App
Some of our readers suggest that logging out and then logging back in helped them resolve this issue. After that, they were able to see the Spotify widget on their smartphone’s lock screen. To sign out, tap on the Settings icon on the upper right and scroll to the bottom of the screen to find the Log out option.
Then you can sign in using your email ID or Facebook account. Use the same method you tried the first time so that you don’t end up creating a new account instead. Check if you can see the Spotify music widget on the lock screen now and if the controls are working.

How to Play Spotify Premium on Multiple Devices
Read More2. Notification Settings
Every app that you install on your Android smartphone comes with its own set of notification settings that dictates what happens when the phone is locked. Let’s take a look at Spotify notification settings.
Open Settings and then tap on Notifications & status bar. Check that the Show notification icons and Show on Lock screen options are toggled on. Otherwise, you won’t see notifications or shortcuts for any app on the lock screen. Tap on App notifications.
Scroll to the bottom of the screen to find Spotify — the list is always in alphabetical order. Unlike before, these notification settings pertain to the specific app. In this case, Spotify. Make sure that Show notifications and App icon badge is toggled on.
There are two more settings left in the above screenshot. First is Playback which will allow you to control your music on the lock screen. Tap to open it and make sure that Show notifications option is toggled on. Other settings in this screen are optional. Similarly, the Show notifications should be toggled on for Spotify Music too.
Now open Spotify and play a song. Lock your screen and check if you can see the Spotify playback widget there.
3. Power Saving Mode Off
Power Saving mode is a handy feature until it gets in the way of how an app functions. Power Saving mode keeps your apps in check and prevents them from consuming too many resources like CPU, GPS, and battery juice unnecessarily when they are not actively being used or when the phone is locked. They can often act like an overprotective parent leading to apps not working correctly.
To check, open Settings and tap on Battery & performance. Again, your smartphone may have slightly different settings (it may be called Battery Optimization instead) depending on your make and model. Tap on Choose apps to configure individual app settings.
Either search for Spotify or open it by scrolling. Tap on it to open. Tap on No restrictions to stop your smartphone from preventing Spotify to function correctly in the background when the phone is locked.
4. Clean Reinstall
Spotify stores all your songs and playlists on its servers, there is no harm in uninstalling the app. But we want to do a clean install. First, log out of Spotify like you did in the first step above. Now open Settings and tap on Installed Apps. Find Spotify and open it.
Tap on Force stop to halt any running activity behind the screen. Tap on Clear data and select Clear all data. That should remove all temporary files and folders from your phone.
Finally, tap on Uninstall on the same screen to remove Spotify from your smartphone. Go back to the Play Store and install Spotify again. See if you can see Spotify music widget on the lock screen now.
5. Lock Screen Manager
The good thing about the Android platform is that it is endlessly customizable. That means there is an app out there that can manage and customize your lock screen. Some of our users have had success with this method. We have already covered three lock screen apps for Android, so check them out. There are many others on the Play Store too.
