30GB 5G Ipod no longer plays any video -HELP!

I have a 5G ipod purchased toward the end of 2005. It always worked great until I went to play a video the other day. My ipod crashes every time I try to play any video, whether downloaded from itunes, homemade, anything. This isn't an issue of needing to turn the TV-Out setting off. I've tried restoring, reverting to previous firmwares (from 1.2.1 to 1.1.2 and 1.0, using itunes 7.2), formatting and restoring, everything I've seen on forums everywhere. It used to play video just fine, so I'm completely at a loss. If I select a video through the audio podcast area, it will play the audio portion. When I try to play videos properly, the screen stays blank and no longer accepts input - I have to reset the ipod. I know that I'm out of warranty so I'm probably boned, aren't I?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!

  • IPhoto '11 no longer plays any video

    Hello, I"ve searched the forum and not yet found a solution to this problem.  I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and iLife '11.  I am running iPhoto 9.2.1. on my Macbook Pro and iMac and can no longer play any videos in iPhoto.  iMovie seems to be plagued byt the same issue.  I remember having to delete a couple files from the Library when I upgraded iPhoto.  The files were 3ivx files.
    Can anyone please help me or point me to the solution elsewhere in this forum.
    Many thanks,
    Tim

    First try installing   Perian and see if that fixes it. If not then look in your Home/Library/Quicktime folder to see if there's a 3ivx plugin there.  If there is remove it. It's not compatible with Lion and usually crashes iPhoto.  With that in mind I doubt you'll find the plugin.

  • Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

    Hi
    I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
    I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
    I would really appreciate some advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

  • Apple TV no longer plays any video, just clocks with loading icon

    My Apple TV was working fine until about 2 weeks ago.  I have CenturyLink high speed ( up to 40MB) internet connection, I can run a speed test on my iphone from the same room and get 32MB download speeds.  Apple TV connectivity test shows successful on > 10MB test.
    I can not play any video content, I can browse Netflix and YouTube menus and select movies or clips, but when I try to play it will clock continuously.  On YouTube it will error out eventually, on Netflix it clocks indefinitely.
    Did the last update break my Apple TV? 
    I've tried restarting, resetting and every other suggestion I have found on the web, even replaced the HDMI cable, but nothing works.  This was working fine before and I hadn't made any changes prior to it not working any longer.
    Please help.

    AFter more searches through the Apple Forum, I found the response below for kplandiles.  I updated the firmware on my Centurylink C2000T wireless router and now I am able to play video again!!

    This helped meRe: "Can't connect. Try again later." Message on Apple TV. 
    Dec 24, 2013 6:29 AM (in response to M3mark)
    Seems like this has been going around. I had the same issue for days and it turned out that I had to update the firmware on my ISPs modem/router. If you have recently changed ISPs or upgraded your internet service then there might be an issue there. My WiFi is through CenturyLink and their Prism TV service.
    Apps like Netflix would function correctly up to the point where they actually try to load the video. After waiting and waiting for the video to load it would eventually time out and offer the "Cant connect - try again later" message. Youtube, PBS, ABC, NBC, TWC, etc. would all time out. Even ITunes Radio failed to connect.
    I cant tell you what specifically on the firmware upgrade fixed the problem, though. I had rebooted the router several times without success. I even turned off the firewall on the router to insure that there was no  blocking, No joy. Prism TV uses the Technicolor C2000T and that device needed an update.
    I joke that CenturyLink intentionally blocked my streaming content so that I could only watch Prism TV and use their "On-Demand" video service. I actually rented a movie on Prism this weekend only because I could not watch what I really wanted to watch on Netflix.
    I feel your pain.

  • Ipad will no longer play any videos on any site. Switch to photon and it plays. These are not flash vids!

    On safari I have a long list of blogs of news that I have viewed daily for years. About to weeks ago. These apparent you tube embeds now say this video cannot be viewed.   Since these sites haven't changed all at once I downloaded photon and they all play. Yes I know photon has a flash player but I don't have to activate it it just plays. Further if I track to you tube with the YouTube app the same video will play.  All of these sites could not have switched to flash at the same time. Any ideas?

    Where are watching these videos?  Through Safari, or on the You Tube app that was pre-installed on your iPad from day one?  If the later and you all of the sudden can't watch previously viewable video, I'd recommend you reboot your iPad.  Press and hold the power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. 
    If you could view these through You Tube via Safari, go into settings > safari > clear cookes > clear cache
    Then try again........

  • IPad no longer playing ANY type of video after 8.3 upgrade

    My iPad mini can no longer play ANY video.  I have tried various movies/tv shows from my library and directly from iTunes.  When I play a video, I get the following message "This operation could not be completed.  An unknown error occurred (-16710).
    I have tried several things including reboot, reset, reset all settings, and a full wipe and restore.   No dice.  This baby is dead in the water.
    Any ideas?

    Are you playing the DVD via Front Row or on a stand-alone basis via the DVD Player? Regardless, your computer may well be impacted by the glitches in your OS build, specifically impacting those of us with 20" iMacs and 256 vram. Check the build of your operating system by going to Apple>About this Mac and click where you see Version 10.4.4 - your Build information will appear. If your build is 8G1171, expect a fix to be on the way. More on that issue here & elsewhere:

    It may be something else is effecting your machine, but I thought I'd toss the idea above out there just in case it helps.

  • IPod-Video-80Gig No longer plays movies, videos, TV shows (older shows)

    What gives, only 6 months ago the videos played just fine...then I begin having a host of problems (started with the death of the battery at the ripe old age of 8 months). This $400 video iPod had played the few movies and TV shows I purchased...and it will play the audio of them...but will no longer play the video portion. I've tried the resetting (holding the MENU plus CENTER buttons at same time). No go still. I haven't played the movies/videos in a while; but now I'm going on a roadtrip and wanted to take them with me to watch on the plane. So sad. Any help anyone can pass along would be rightly appreciated!

    OMI...my daughter had told me she was "fiddling" with the settings and wouldn't you know, she changed the VIDEO SETTINGS "TV Out from Off to On." Word to people with kids...tell them to step away from the iPod.

    My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
    It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
    How is it hard to get it serviced?
    How long have you had your iPod?
    i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
    That is not good but it's not "terrible".
    If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
    thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
    It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
    i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
    What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
    If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.
