80gb iPod not playing videos

Here's a problem i could find an answer to after looking through these forums and all the apple info.
just got the new 80gb ipod and bought a few videos of the itunes music store. now two of these videos play for about two seconds then begin to skip or lag ? The thrid actually has a higher total bite rate then the first two.
Now i'm thinking that it would make sense for videos from the itunes store to play on the ipod.
Anyone have an ideas.

I have a similar problem. Bought three videos from the Apple Store and all three of them skip in different places - the pictures freezes, the music continues fo a few seconds and then the picture catches up. All three of the downloads can't have a problem, so it must be a problem with the iPod itself.

ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

OK here's my other problem:
I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays. The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30. It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

80gb ipod not syncing video

I have all the boxes checked, i have 60gb of free space, music is syncing fine, but when i click sync to try to sync the three tv episodes i bought off the itunes store, it ;syncs but the shows aren't added. video podcasts are syncing, so i guess the problem is just that the tv shows aren't syncing

Hello Tedlocks,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If these videos are TV Shows, and their *Media Type* is set to "TV Show", then you will have to configure your iPod to sync TV Shows from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes.
More information on syncing TV Shows can be found under # 6 from this Apple support document.

The ability to play a file in iTunes means that is is QT compatible -- not neccessarily iPod compatible.
If the message states that a particular file is not playable on the iPod, then the file is either in the wrong format or one or more parameters does/do not meet iPod compatiblity restrictions. For instance, a DivX MPEG4 video file with MPEG layer-3 audio would not be playable. Normally, it is a simple problem associated with video data rate limitations or failure to use a specific required profile for the format you are employing. In addition, movie content can sometimes "trick" the encoder and cause a momentary "peak" in the data rate that triggers iTunes to reject the file during sync operations.
If the message states that the iPod "generically" cannot play videos, then you do not have an iPod model with video capabilities.

Ipod not seeing videos

someone please help...My son bought a bunch of tv shows through the i-tunes store and downloaded them to the computer. they show up in his library on i-tunes, but won't go on to his i-pod....I've updated every thing that I can think of but the shows still don't show up on his i-pod...please help

What methods have you tried to get the videos onto the iPod? Does your son use manual updating with drag-and-drop to move content onto the iPod, or is he set up for auto-updating?
If he manages things manually, it should be as simple as dragging the TV show files from his iTunes library and dropping them onto his iPod icon.
One more thing - sorry if this is already totally obvious to you - not all iPods can play videos. Only the 30- and 60- gig video iPods can. If your son has a non-video iPod, a friendly email to iTunes tech support explaining the mistake might get him a refund. After all, they should be able to see very clearly on their end whether or not the iPod he has registered is capable of playing videos.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

IPhoto '08 would not play videos in Mavericks 10.9.1

QuickTime stand alone not playing video, only audio

Am running QuickTime stand alone on my PC with Windows XP Home 2002. For some reason the .mov files that were created with my digital camera will not play video (only audio) on this computer. The files seem to play fine on other computers. Have also found out that I can play downloand or streamed videos (only audio).
Can't figure out why video won't play. Other video formats (.avi for example) play fine through Windows Player.
Any insight? . . . anyone?

hi mate,
have you checked via Nokia Suite on PC if there are any firmware updates available for your device? if there are, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite and if that fails, Restoring your phone to factory settings.
Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

Nokia c6 not playing videos

it just displays the letter F at the top left, does not play video, was playing till last night, suddenly stopped, please advise

Restart the phone and if it doesn't work, go to Ovi store and download a task manager...I also suggest you to backup all the content and perform a factory reset.
I had that phone and the reality is that the C6 doesn't have too much memory RAM... =(
