30G video iPod not playing podcast video

My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

  • 5th gen iPod not playing mpeg4 videos

    I have a few mpeg4 videos that I wanted to add to my iPod. They play in iTunes and iTunes recognizes them as the correct format for my iPod. So, I connect my iPod and the videos uploaded themselves with the auto-update. After the update, I grabbed the iPod and went to the movies. None of them play! The screen goes black with the little white play button in the upper left hand corner for about 5 seconds. Then it goes back to the video menu. What could be wrong?

    There are other posts on this topic.. Mine is doing it too.. Don't know what to do

  • Video Ipod Not Syncing All Videos

    I am having trouble syncing some videos. They all play in ITunes, they are all proper formats for the Ipod and I have the settings marked to sync ALL videos. For some reason, however, one movie and no TV shows are syncing?! I can't figure it out. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem, some videos (10 of them) don't copied to my ipod, but this videos were on my ipod before so this does not make sense, I get a message : SOme of the videos in your library, including the video "Walk Away", were not copied to the ipod "XXX" because they cannot be played on this ipod. The ipod have more then enough memory and the videos were there before. Does some one have an idea as how to fix this...PLEASE the videos are:Walk Away, Too little too late, Ain't no other man, check on it, complicated, fergalicious, glamorous, I write sins not tragedies, irreplaceable and public affair.... I paid for all of this videos and none one can help over the phone????

  • Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

    Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

  • Ipod do not play purchased videos

    I can not play the videos that I purchased in the ipod store. However, I can play converted videos. What is wrong??

    Answering my own question here, it was pretty easy.
    I just took the videos off my iPod with EphPod and reloaded them back to my iPod. All the settings were reset and the purchased videos turned back to videos

  • IPod will not play purchased videos...

    My iPod only plays audio on videos that I have purchased on iTunes. Music Videos that I have made myself work fine and show up in the video section of the iPod. iTunes plays all videos fine, but the options for the videos I have purchased are the same as the audio options (they show no video icon on the main screen and I cannot set a video type). iTunes and iPod are updated and I have checked the "TV out" thing.
    I don't know if this is relevant, but I recently had to restore my computer and the originals were wiped away, leaving only the copy on the iPod.
    I appreciate any help ya'll can give me!

  • My ipod classic will not play podcasts

    I have a 160GB iPOD classic and have been syncing successfully music, podcasts, photos and videos for many years. Originally formatted on my PC, for the last year I have only been syncing on my MAC but I haven't re-formatted the iPOD and it didn't seem to mind. A couple of weeks ago the iPOD decided it would not play any video podcasts (radio podcasts are fine). I select it to play, and after a second or two it goes back to the menu. I have completely cleared the iPOD and restored to factory settings. After re-syncing it still does not work. Movies (typically MP4 conversions from DVD and the web) all play fine. I have done this on the MAC (factory reset, re-sync) and also on the PC (factory re-set, re-sync). Makes no difference. Today I deselected all podcasts, synced, then just selected a new video podcast (a TED video as it happens) but still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I think I have figured out the problem. Call it "Curse of the iCloud." In the settings I had "download most recent episode." That may have been the only one actually on my computer. The rest were hiding in the Cloud. The computer showed a couple of hundred episodes, long since sent packing but still hiding. If I click on the iCloud symbol it brings the actural podcast to my computer where it can sync to the ipod. I didn't really want 250 old podcast taking up space, but of course they aren't really taking up my space, only Apples, and what Apple wants, Apple gets, and to **** with the rest. I suppose I should have known all of this, but I didn't, and trying to find it out is somewhat daunting. Anyway, I've reset to download all future episodes, gone back  reloaded ones I hadn't listened to, and will see if that works. To quote that distinguished techie, Ricky Recardo, "We need some better 'splaining around here.

  • IPhone Doesn't Play Podcast Videos

    My iPhone doesn't play podcast videos - it shows a static picture then plays the corresponding audio, is this a configuration issue in iTunes or iPhone - or is this a disappointing defect? Thanks ...

    Not so much a bug, but a difference in behavior from the iPods.
    In the iPod, you can make a playlist under Music->Playlist and it can contain both audio and video files. It will play the audio files fine, then the audio-only of the video files in the list. Having videos in a music playlist seems like a bug, but this "feature" allows you to just hear audio of video files if you desire (like listening to a movie without running the video screen).
    If you go in to Video->Playlists instead, you play audio, then switch to video when it hits a video item in the list.
    On the iPhone, the concept of Video Playlist is unavailable, only a playlist via TV Shows. So, I can't do it like I've been doing it for the past year or so on my iPod with Video.
    I'm working on workarounds right now. I tried toggling all the vidcasts to "TV Show" video type, so they can be added to a TV Show playlist, and that sorta-works but isn't graceful (if I can make it work, I'll provide an iTunes script to do this for us).
    I also found out by downloading the podcasts (check them off specifically) they can be made to show up in the video section, but just having them in an Audio Playlist isn't enough.
    More research...

  • Some videos will not play (blank screen).

    Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
    I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
    I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library?  Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
    If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

  • Video file not playing in Photos

    Imported photos/videos from a SD card. Performed this task many times before. This time, some video files display as "AVI", as opposed to displaying the first frame. The video will not play. The file is skipped when I use sweeping motion to go to next/previous picture/video.
    Also, I don't know how to delete the file, because I cannot select it.
    Most video files from the SD card work as they should.

    Any ideas? Is there a difference between the Quick Time 7 Pro encoding of an iPod/iPhone video file and the way a similar file is encoded through QUick Time X?
    Unfortunately, the latest iTunes update 9.2.1 has not solved the problem. I cannot get to the bottom of this. Quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

  • My songs and videos are not playing.

    Hello,
    My songs and videos are not playing in the iPod. If i play music on online in iPod, it works. So, please reply me as soon as possible.
    Thank You,

    I have had similar problems in the past, but not with so many songs...  If you got them on the iTunes store, and there aren't so many, just re-download them, this happens to be sometimes.  I'm guessing that there was some error during the download.  sorry.

    I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play.  Can anyone help?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
