AppleTV Syncs Video But Not Sound-Sometimes

When I sync my AppleTV with the movies in my iTunes library, sometimes when I play them on my AppleTV I don't have any sound! Picture is fine. When I play the files on my iMac from my music library everything's fine. Anyone have any idea why the sound doesn't get synced sometimes?

Hi.
The movies are from iTunes music store, some homemade, some dvds I've made from old VHS converted for AppleTv with HandBrake.
They play fine, all of them, on my iMac from my iTunes library.
The AppleTv is synced through my wireless network Airport Extreme. The AppleTV is connected to my HD TV with HDMI.
It's only on a few movies that the sound "disappears" on. No common denominator that I can find, except that they were converted with HandBrake but 99% of them play ok. And why would they play in iTunes on my iMac and lose the sound when synced to AppleTv? The video is perfect!
Thanks.

Fade in video but not sound.

Hi,
I downloaded a video and I need to keep the front of the sound whilst fading in the video.
a) I unlinked the video and sound which may or may not have been the right choice.
b) Then I dropped down some black.
c) And then I didn't know how to apply a fade in transition ;-(
d) I know how to select a transition but not how to make it fade or mix in to the first frame that I've selected.
We are at the very beginning of the video.
Thanks for any and all help.
Michael

Michael,
If I read your needs correctly, all you have to do is Keyframe the Opacity (one of the fixed Effects in every Video Clip).
This is done with the Effects Control Panel.
Select your Clip (no need to Unlink media here), and then open Effects Control Panel (NOT the Effects Panel, which is where your Effects & Transitions are accessed).
If the Effects Control Panel's mini-timeline is not showing, click on the >>> in the upper-right.
Position the CTI (Current Time Indicator/Play Head w/ the red edit line) at the first Frame of that Clip
Click on the stopwatch icon in the Opacity row, to toggle ON Keyframing
This will place a Keyframe on the first Frame. Leave it alone for now, but we'll come back to it in a moment
Now, navigate to where you want the that Clip to be seen 100%, and Add Keyframe (little ◄●►, and you want to click on the ●) to add a Keyframe there
Hit the ◄ to go to Previous Keyframe (the one on the first Frame), and adjust the Opacity to 0%.
Your Video Clip will start at black (0% Opacity), and slowly come up to 100% Opacity. You might want to read up on Keyframe Interpolation to "smooth out" the fade.
Note, there are other ways to achieve what you want, from just adding and adjusting a Fade-to-Black Transition, to other forms of animation. This lesson will introduce you to Keyframing, which offers so much power, and can be used in so many ways. Keyframes will soon become your good friends, so using a slightly more involved method here, will help you later.
Along the lines of Jim's suggestions, you should be able to find most/all of the terms that are capitalized above, in the Help files. I strongly suggest looking each one up, and reading about them, as there will so much more, and very useful info contained.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:
DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

Got the video, but no sound...

I had videos I wanted to put on my ipod, but, the file couldn't be read, so I had to convert the songs so my ipod could read it, but it seems that when I play the video... the images come... but not the sound... I have no idea what to do, some help would be appreciated.
ps: it plays normal songs no prob, thx alot.

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ? all my other videos are fine and they in mp4 format.

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Airplay works for phots and video, but not music on 2nd gen touch

Upgraded to 4.2 on 2nd gen touch. I can send photos and videos/movies to AppleTV via Airplay, but not music. I can select AppleTV when playing a song on Touch and the music stops playing from Touch, but never plays from AppleTV. Audio works just fine for movies sent to AppleTV.
Anyone else experience this?
Support told me that this feature is not supported on 2nd gen Touch and I'd have to buy a new Touch. The Apple website says feature is supported. A second call to support and they said it is. ?????

Im having a similar problem where after a period of time I can get neither my iPhone 4 or iTouch 2G to see the Air Tunes speakers on my Airport Express base station. Always works fine from my computer's iTunes though. What I found works is powering off and rebooting the phone / iTouch (not just locking it). When it reboots go to your music and maybe you'll see the Apple TV or Airport Express icon appear now. Works for me anyways. After a while, they will "forget" and I need to reboot the phone again to find it. I think there are kinks in the 4.2 iOS that need to be sorted out.

Quicktime will play .avi video but no sound

I've been able to play .avi files with sound and video before but for some reason this one file is refusing to play sound and only this one file. why would this be?

There's Video but no sound!

So i have some Tv show on my MacBook, and when i go to watch them there is video but no sound. Quicktime prompts me that i need to download a codec but not which one. Which onw do i need?

Tried that, it said i needed DivX, but i already have that. What else could i use?Try watching it in VLC. If it plays, check the audio info and see if it is more specific. What is the file extension -- .divx or .avi? What DivX component do you have installed? Do you have Mac "non-native" audio support (like AC3) installed? Until you can supply more information, I can only guess at possibilities for you to check and evaluate. You might also try opening the file in a conversion application like FFmpegX and see if he A/V formats are recognized/convertable to a fully supported QT compression format. As a last resort, consider a "rule of thumb here" -- if a format doesn't work, don't support its use.

Shows no video but has sound

Show no video but has sound what do I need to do to fix this?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

Just sync your iPad.

Real Downloader will download video but no sound.

Real Downloader was working fine but now only downloads the video but not the sound.

The Real Downloader has been incompatible with Firefox for the last couple of versions. There are many similar addons on the Mozilla addon site.

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.
