Videos and music pausing then continue playing

Hi, I really need some kind peoples feedback on this - I've tried eveything I can think of.
My 80gb 5.5 gen iPod video is playing up.
When I play a video movie I get a slight pause, for about 2 seconds in the flow of the movie.
This happens around every 10 mins of playing. My movies are ripped via handbrake.
Also the pause appears with music tracks as well, around the 7th track played in an album. It happens with all albums - they all paly fine on my shuffle and iPod touch.
I have tried formatting he iPod via disk utility and restored the iPod using iTunes.
The iPod is using firmware 1.3 I am now wonderng whether I should downgrade to a lower firmware or even trying a firmware from a 3rd party company.
I have also cleared all artwork off the song tracks and converted them all to 123 aac as well.
Please let me know if any of you guys have experienced this problem.
Thanks

Prior to vacation, i had about half the iPad (64GB) loaded with videos and music. I left all of that on the iPad, and added even more. I synced it, checked in itunes that the iPad drop down lists were showing my vids and music, and then went on vacation. I never checked that the videos actually played after the sync. I never thought that would be necessary after seeing them in iTunes. Especially since the majority of them were ones that were remaining on my ipad and have always worked fine.
So the problem is that my iPad memory is full, the files definitely synced over, but the ipad is not recognizing them as videos and music. It lists zero ids, zero songs. Oddly, my photos, which i didn't touch, are working perfectly.
I'm confident that i could fix this by endlessly syncing when i get back home, however that 12 hour flight home would be a lot more entertaining if i could get this working without my computer

  • Lock screen while playing videos and music?

    iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 (up to date), no SiM card installed.
    This is an old iPhone I use to play videos and music for my daughter (2 years).  She watches the video, but tends to too=uch the screen because that's what kids do.  This pauses the video, or sends the phone to the home screen.  Is there a way to lock out the screen while the video plays so that only the home button will pause the video?

    Hi Scott,
    I think Guided Access with Ignore all screen touches is what you need.
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7fad0d10
    Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
    Turn Guided Access on or off
    Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
    Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
    Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
    Disable app controls and areas of the app screen:  Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area.
    Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons.
    Ignore all screen touches:  Turn off Touch.
    Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.
    End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End.
    Have fun,

    Hi, thank you for your consern,
    I have Window Vista...Im not to computer friendly when it comes to deep details about the systems so I dont really know if its 32 or 64 bit but I did see that it is 919 bytes.

  • After Sync Videos and music do not play

    I did a recent sync with the latest iTunes and my Ipad3.2.2. After the sync the ITunes shows videos and music are loaded. Yet when I try to access on my Ipad it starts to show the library then closes.
    I have tried the connect to another computer, the reset, the Restore. Just about everything but the macarena!
    Any ideas, Thanks

    You're dealing with two different plug-ins.
    Flash Player (Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin)
    and "PepperFlash" (Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/34.0.1847.116/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlash/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin)
    And NetFlix uses the Microsoft SilverLight plug-in.
    From SoundCloud support:
    Why can't I hear tracks using Safari?
      If you can't hear tracks on SoundCloud using Safari, please go to Safari ---> Preferences ---> Advanced ---> and un-check "Stop plugins to save power." Like this:
    If YouTube works, it may be doing so in HTML5 mode which requires no plug-in. Do you use Apple's Firewall or (please say you don't) anti-virus?

  • Playback of video and music slow after unit has been in standby

    I recently purchased a 64GB playbook and loaded a few movies in AVI and MP4 format as well as afew albums in MP3 format, When playing the files all works fine until the device is put into standby and then restarted, the video and music playback is running at around a quarter of the speed ond is choppy, even the HD demo plays back at the reduced rate, when the device is switched off and restarted then everything is back to normal until the unit goes into standby again, I have a 16GB device abd this one plays the same files with no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be
    Thanks

    any apps running next to the video player ?
    go to the options of the playbook, then About, then Hardware in the dropdown menu. How much "Free memory" do you have while the video is lagging?

  • Problems wth Videos and Music..

    Okay, so I finally figured out how to convert some of my fav Youtube videos to a format that will play on my iPod. I have a 30G video iPod, it'll be 2 years old next month, I'm not sure what gen that is. After I put some of those vids on my iPod, my music started acting up, and now whenevr I pick an artist, the songs will just zip right thorugh the list, for example 1-12 without stopping, and will go back to the main menu (like normal when you finish playing an artist). What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

    First, try resetting the iPod.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If that does not work, you should probably use the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then sync everything back, videos and music.
    FYI - It's a 5th Gen iPod.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Sharing Photo, Video and Music files

    My new iMac has arrived and I'm looking forward to transferring across all my files at the weekend and to starting to use it.
    We use the computer as a family computer although we have different accounts on the computer. I would like to enable all members of the family to have access to all photo, video and music files when they are signed into their individual accounts and using iLife.
    My question is this: where should I place these files to enable common access. At the moment they are stored under my user name and therefore only I can access them. A slight refinement on this is that although I want to encourage the kids to use iLife and develop their skills in this area, I want to make sure that they don't delete/alter any of the original files so would ideally like them to save any changes they make in a new file under their accounts.
    Hopefully this makes sense!

    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    To protect your own user account:
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.

  • Missing videos and music

    How do I get back purchased videos and music after the hard drive failed and had to get a new one.  Most of my music was recovered from the old hard drive but i am missing some.

    Have you got a backup that you can copy onto the computer and load into iTunes ? Otherwise if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download music purchases (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but films can only be downloaded once from iTunes.

  • My iPad sound to videos and music doesnt work I have tried everything the sound bar is gone

    Not sure if this will work, but you could try the app My Contacts Backup.  This will back up your contacts as an email attachement.  Send the email to yourself.  Then turn off contacts syncing (to erase the contacts from your phone), open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone.  You will still have to go through them and remove the duplicates but at least they should not be duplicated again.  (There is an app called
    Remove Duplicate Contacts and Events that claims to be able to find and remove duplicates but you'll have to read the reviews in the app store to decide if you want to try it.)

  • How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

    how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

    Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.

  • Videos and music, seperate syncing?

    I basically already know the answer to this, but I am curious if others are frustrated by this. I travel a lot, so I sync my music back at home, but when on the road I want to convert a movie here and there to watch on my iPhone, and then remove it when done. I know you can sync photos, calendar, etc, independent of each other, why are videos and music tied together? I understand the need to limit syncing to one machine, but why are video and music together?

    I hope someone would reply. I can't get the videos to my IPOD. They are videos in MPEG format that was on my computer. I followed the instructions of exporting the videos. I chose only one file from a particular folder and it took several hours. When it was finished, I see the whole files from that folder in the itunes library. I'm thinking it converted all those files and put them into itunes. Not sure. I thought the files will show up on desktop after exporting and I have to drag them to itunes library. That's how the instructions were on transferring files to IPOD. But nothing was seen on the desktop. I do see all those videos in Itunes in the movie folder. But how can I put them into IPOD? Also how to sync music and videos from itunes to IPOD? I read the tutorial but it's not working. Someone please help.
