Having trouble playing movies through the iPod

Does the iPod have to be in a certain mode to play movies through a component cable

Assuming that a compatible cable is being used to output the video to a capable TV, you also need to make sure the TV Out setting is enabled from under Video -> Video Settings -> TV Out.
See this article to determine if you are using the correct cable for your model iPod.

  • Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

  • Loosing sound while playing movies on the Ipod

    I have been converting some of my movies to the Ipod format using "WinAVI MP4 Converter". The program worked, the movies were installed on the Ipod and are playable...for about 60 secs. Then it freezes and after some seconds keeps playing but without sound. Using FF stopping again will make the sound come back for another 60 secs.
    Anyone know a solution to this problem? Is it the software causing movies with errors or is it the Ipod?

    That is the problem.
    1.1 messes up the video capabilities. So that is your problem. The only way to get the audio back on your vidoes is to reformat your iPod back to 1.0. That should be on the disk that came with your iPod. But when you reformat your iPod, it removes everything that was on it.

  • I'm having trouble syncing movies to my ipod classic

  • If you were having trouble playing mp3s after the IOS5 update - TURN OFF ZONE ALARM!

    UGH!!!
    I finally found this suggestion after plowing through MANY pages and threads on here and all over the web. Someone suggested that ZoneAlarm and iTunes "clash" so I turned off my ZoneAlarm and now can FINALLY transfer mp3s to my phone without having them playback improperly. Before songs would start like 20 seconds in, then jump back to the beginning, then the middle again, despite the files being perfectly fine on my computer and also in the "music" section of iTunes (but would be faulty once transferred to my device).
    This is a HUGE relief. I've been without music for over a week and it was complete ****. I had to use the Pandora app to get SOME kind of songs but compared to being able to listen to my own library, it was pretty much ****.... Just wanted to pass along this idea to anyone else who is struggling.

    This is very helpful! How do I create .m4v or .mp4 vidoes that "Fast start"? Just changing the extension doesn't work -- and exporting takes time. I'd love another fast solution like this for opening and "Save As" -- that results in the MPEG-4 extensions that my users are expecting. (Yes, QT is a container format, and yes this .mov has the same media H.264 media streams, but we'd like folks to be able to drag these into itunes or similar and get them quickly on iPods.)
    Thanks!

  • Having trouble accessing AOL through the mac mail program

    Accessing mail from AOL through the Mac mail applicantion has never been a problem.  Now all of a sudden it is.  Software is up to date, tried working with Apple personnel, no luck.  Any suggestions?

    When you're in mail, if you click on window, and connection doctor, what does it tell you about your AOL account? If it's a green light status, your Apple mail is able to sign into AOL without issue. If it's red, and you double click on it, it should take you to the part of your profile that needs fixing.

  • Hi, having trouble playing mov files taken by a Fuji camera, image shows up but all in green and no playback any help welcome.

    H can anybody help with the above problem?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

    my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down. I am not able to get anything to play either through the standard ipod controls or the multitasking control panel. I'm sure there will be an update soon to correct this, i just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.
    wen i open ipod in my iphone ,, it gets stuck ,, and get backs to the menu ,,, and doesnot play anything ,, not video nor song

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
    Problems resulting from those modifications can't be discussed in these forums, due to the Terms of Use

  • I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?

    I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?
    Many thanks

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • HT5731 I just downloaded a star trek episode, "The Gamesters of Triskelion" but I am having trouble playing it on my computer...what do I need to do???

    I just downloaded a TV episode from the iTunes Store, but so far am having trouble playing the full episode. (It only plays the :20 "preview")...what am I doing wrong???

    How are you trying to play it ? The full episode should have downloaded into the TV Shows part of your iTunes library - is that where you are trying to play it from ?

  • IPod plays music through the speaker on the back

    Hi,
    My new iPod nano 5th generation seems to play music through the back speaker for the camera and voiceover options. When i plug in my headphones, it will play through those, as well as the speaker, but even when I unplug the headphones, it plays through it still. This is annoying to the people around me to hear. Does anyone know how to fix it, i've gone through the settings on my iPod but I can't seem to figure how to turn it off and only have the music play through my headphones. Anybody have the same problem? How do I fix it?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    Is the speaker really on the back? I had been trying to figure out where the sound was coming out, and thought I had narrowed it down to the hole where the earplugs plug in. I tend to lay my iPod down on its back, and it doesn't seem to muffle the sound.
    Cutie962, I don't know about sound in general through non-iPod earphones, but in order to use the radio, you need the right earphones, because the antenna is in the cord. I can't use the delivered ones, because either I just don't know how to use them or my ears are the wrong shape - they just fall out immediately. I was trying to figure out which ones Apple sells also have the antenna for the radio, but they don't seem to list that information. I kind of like the pink ones that hook over the ear, but it would be a waste if they won't work.
