60 gig 5th Gen video playback issue

Before I start let me say I've reset my ipod several times and the problem still exists. I wish there was a solution that didn't involve me erasing my ipod.
I have a year old 60 Gig video iPod. Video on my iPod played well up until about two updates ago. Now the video will get stuck during playback.
The audio will continue uninterrupted but the image will freeze on the current frame. Anyone hear of this? Or anyway to fix it?
Thanks

Take your earphones and ipod to an Apple Store. Let the staff listen to the screeching. Or call ipod tech support while you are still under warranty: U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)

  • WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

    Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod 5th gen, video 30bg, will sync/restore, won't play

    I am running Windows 7, with all updates (as of 3/14/2014) have itunes 11.1.5.5 showing no available updates. When I plug into the USB port, the ipod gets recognized, Itunes starts. I can see the files on the ipod. I have reset the ipod and restored. Same problem. When I drill down to the actual file I want to listen to, it doesn't play. On the screen the icon changes from pause to the arrow for play, the index line never advances. You can hit the select button, use the scroll wheel to advance through the file, and hit play again, but no noise. There isn't noise if in the dock (which other ipods and iphones work with in the house) there is no noise if the headphones are plugged in. i was thinking harddrive, so I replaced it. couldn't get the new one to function. When the new harddrive was in the unhappy face would come up. I could force into disk mode, in hopes of restoring it, but in disk mode, neither windows and hence itunes would recognize it as an ipod. I put the old hard drive back in thinking maybe I damaged the cable, but it came right up, but with the same problem, it won't play the sounds... I replaced the Zif cable just in case, still the same...
    i've sure seen lots of Ipod 5th gen video for sale on Ebay, compared to the 4th that I had, which I broke the scroll wheel cable on, but never had such problems with it. Any thoughts out there from someone who might know what it's doing? It seems weird that it loads the music files, and deletes the music files but won't play them. The only other thing I can think of perhaps is the battery too low to spin the hard drive up to play? It does seem to be a very small (physically) battery compared to the 4th gen... but it is thicker...
    When I got it it was doing the low power thing, so I did all the steps to re-charge, and restore, but it won't play the files... Thanks for any thoughts!
    Jesse

    It sound like you did some good troubleshooting.  Thanks for providing the details.  I don't think a problem like this is related to the battery. 
    With a 5th gen iPod (early version) that has a 30GB hard drive, it may have problems using a larger capacity hard drive.  That may explain the different problem you had when you replaced the hard drive, if you changed the capacity.
    Try the following test.  Do another Restore from the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  At the end of the Restore process, choose NOT to sync anything automatically. 
    Go to the iTunes Store and download a free song.  You can find the current free songs by clicking Free on iTunes under QUICK LINKS, on the iTunes Store Home screen.
    Manually load that ONE song on the iPod.  Disconnect iPod and try to play that one song.  Does this same problem occur?

  • Old 5th gen video restoring and recognition problem

    Briefly - 5th gen video colour screen 80gb ipod got soaked, died. Tried reviving today (over a year later) and found I could get to disk mode (after whacking it one on it's side - who knew?). Okay, tried restoring it through itunes who then gave me 1429 error message.  I tried the various options for that error message until I got to  restart your computer...now, although I can get the ipod into disk mode it is not being recognised by itunes.  It appears in system information but nothing of any use is happening now, excepting it is 'alive' in disk mode and making a less clicky 'scratchy' sound and showing the battery being charged.  Any advice? Help? 

    No more thoughts from anyone on the above??

  • Video playback issues in Air for Android

    Hello everybody
    I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
    but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
    I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device.  I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
    The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
    Any advice will be highly appreciated,

  • OS X 10.8 video playback issues

    since upgrading to OS X 10.8 I have several video playback issues.
    I have a lot of videos ripped to my Drobo NAS, connected bij FW 800 to my MacMini (4 GB, 2009). Until recently, playback was smooth, either with VLC or DVD Player.
    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8, DVD Player is not playing VIDEO_TS folders anymore, all I get is a chequered screen. This is also happening on my MacBookPro and my iMac i7, so this is not a specific hardware issue.
    After upgrading to OS X 10.8.2, videos are playing back jerky and audio is out of sync in VLC and QuickTime.
    Since I have 10,000+ videos in my library, this is absolutely unacceptable
    I tried reinstalling OS 10.8, and trashing the prefs, but to no avail.
    please help.

    Are you running the latest version of VLC player?

  • Quicktime 7.6 video playback issues

    I upgraded to quicktime 7.6 yesterday and is has caused video playback issues when in higher performance with my Macbook pro. I am trying to play 1080p footage in the h.264 compression codec and it is now stuttering. It played fine in my previous quicktime player before the upgrade and it seems to play fine in the better battery setting. The problem occurs with the 9600 nvidia chip but the 9400 works okay. This is troublesome because the 9600 should out preform the 9400.

    Update: The problem only happens with MacOS 10.5.6. Running the pre-installed MacOS 10.5.5 the 9400M and 9600M displays movies smoothly using QuickTime 7.6. Disabling hardware-accelerated playback by deleting the "AppleVAH264HW.component" in "/System/Library/Quicktime" also "solves" the problem.

  • Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

    Hi all,
    I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
    If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
    What could be the issue?

    I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

  • Running with 5th gen. video ipd 30 gig

    I got this ipod for travel and for running. It keep freezing up and finally died after 8 months. The guy at the Apple Store told me I shouldn't run with it because it breaks it. Why then do they make exercise arm bands? HAs anyone else had this problem?

    5th Gen iPod cames with micro drive, instead of compact flash for Nano.
    I can only speak for myself, running will cause viberation which is bad for mechanical drive

  • Video Playback issues with Ipod and Itunes

    OK I just bought some episodes of a TV show last night, and I put them on my ipod(5th gen. 30GB). About halfway-sometimes 2/3-of the way through, the video stops playing, no audio, no movement, just stops like it is paused. I deleted them off my ipod, made sure my ipod was up to date, and put them back on. Problems still there. Then i went to watch them in Itunes, and in the same places they freeze again. Itunes is up to date too.So now i have these videos that i paid for, that don't work completely on either my Ipod nor on Itunes. Help Please?

    the good news is that you have pretty much isolated the issue. if the videos don't play completely on either the ipod or itunes, then the videos or tv shows are possibly corrupted. what you can do is contact the itunes store via a web form ( click here to go to form and scroll to the bottom)
    tell the itunes store your tv shows have playback issues and say the same thing you posted. the itunes store should allow you to re-download the tv shows.

  • Ipod 5th Gen Video 80Gb disk mode not recognized on itunes

    Hi there everyone,
    So i have my ipod 5th gen 80GB video and here's my problem.
    Time ago i had it in a pocket of my backpack that was supposed to be waterproof. We got completely washed in NYC and when i took it out of my backpack pocket the ipod was dead or behaving in a weird way.
    It didn't turn on then i let it dry. After weeks i've been trying to charge it but it seems it had battery problems so i bought a new one and replaced.
    Now the ipod stays on but it keeps restarting showing me the sad face. Then it restarts beginning fgrom the apple logo and the same thing comes up.
    I can put it in disk mode and also in the diagnostic mode thru the key combination.
    I let it sit for 24 hours more or less to the wall charger and the battery seems to be completely full and the ipod stays on, still fiving me the same synthoms. Then i put it in disk mode while downloading the last version of itunes (9). When i plug it in, i hear the sound that windows makes when you plug something via usb. It installs the software and it sees it as an ipod device. But itunes WON'T.
    This appens with every usb port that i have. I can put it in disk mode even plugged into the computer, i hear the windows sound like i just plugged something in but nothing.
    When i reset the ipod, sometimes i see the screen that tells me to connect the ipod to itunes and procede to the restore.
    Sometimes i see the big V and the "ok to disconnect". The if i plug it in with itunes open on my desktop i see the "do not disconnect" but nothing happens, it will not see it yet.
    After 30 secs more or less, the ipod restarts again on its own showing me the sad face.
    If i turn it off it tells me "very low battery" but i don't know if this last one statement its important or not.
    I know already that all of my music and videos are gone. I just would like to get to the restore step then i'll start over again loading music and videos.
    What kind of problem do you think it has? Is there another hardware component damaged that needs to be replaced?
    Is there a solution for this kind of issue?
    Of course i've been following ALL the apple instructions on the website, the 5 R's and so on but nothing worked.
    I really hope that someone in here could give me an hint because at this point i really don't know where to crush my head
    Thank you so much for your time!

    I'm having the same exact problem. When I first started using Vista it was fine, but now all of the sudden it will do nothing with My iPod and it kind of angers me.

  • How can i monitor network traffic to debug video playback issues from a NAS?

    I am having problems playing videos on my new Mini that i am using as an HTPC. 
    I have a brand new Mac Mini running Lion with a 2.7 i7 processor and 8GB of RAM with a wired connection to a switch. .
    My switch is a NETGEAR ProSafe GS108T-200NAS set to default settings. I haven't had a chance to start messing with VLAN settings or anything else. There is a bit of a learning curve on my part on this end.
    My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate (ST31500341AS) drive setup in RAID config using X-RAID2.
    The problem I am having is video playback when accessing large video files off of the NAS.  These are typically 1080 HD mkv files. 
    I have tested movies as small as 7.5GB with only slight stutters on occasion.  I tried a 10.5GB movie and the stalling was much more pronounced. Movies larger than 11GB are completely unwatchable stalling every minute or so. 
    I have also tried large movies on the local drive and that is not a problem at all - they play back just fine.  Beautiful playback in hidef.  Mind you, some of these are the same files that were stalling over the network.
    I have also noticed that some other network devices get kicked off the network when a movie is playing.
    I think it has something to do with the transfer speed of files over the network and the switch - i am no expert at this mind you.
    I am wondering if there is some sort of utility that i can use to monitor network activity on the mini so that i can fix my problem.  Or has anyone made chages in their switch settings to optimize data trasfer speeds.
    Any advice or recommendations on. 
    Thank you all!

    OK, I did a couple of things and ran things a couple of times. 
    First what I did settings wise:
    I enabled jumbo frames on the Mac Mini, ReadyNAS Pro, and the Netgear GS108T switch.  All with MTU set to 9000.
    I went ahead and enabled jumbo frames on the rest of the computers on the network just in case.
    After these changes I ran into the same problems with videos timing out - very annoying and frustrating as you can imagine.
    Then I started playing with device configurations.  My original configuration was NAS > Netgear switch > Mac Mini. I went ahead and switched the switch to an Airport Extreme I have as my WAP and the setup looked like this - NAS > Airport Extreme > Mac Mini. 
    Well, long story short, no go.  It appears to me that the NAS is the one having issues providing the necessary data at the proper speed.  I also tried playing sopme movies off of the NAS onto a desktop i have and had the same issues - choppy frames and crashing movies.  I even tried connecting wirelessly to see if that would work. 
    BTW, I have the Mac accessing the file system using CIFS. 
    I don't know what else I could do.
    I am going to have to go to the Netgear forums to see if i can figure this out.  Hopefully, I can get things going to be able to help some people out.
    If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
    My only other alternative is spending $2000 for the thunderbolt capable NAS that Apple sells - it's only money!
