Camera says cannot play back image

Camera says cannot play back image after downloading picutures to computer and placing disk back in camera. It is a Cannon EOS 50D. I cannot find the instruction manual. What do I need to do to fix this problem so that I can view pictures on camera.

I think what's happened is that you downloaded to the computer (are they on your computer?) AND whatever program you used either transferred them from the card to the computer or copied them & then erased the card. Many programs have that option built in & it needs to be disabled if you still want your images left on the card. It's not the camera that does this it's the software on your computer.
You can copy them back onto the memory card using a card reader. The way I do that is to format the card & then take 1 shot which creates the proper file folder under the DCIM folder. Next remove the card from the camera & use the card reader & My Computer to find the folder with the photo you just took Copy the images from your computer to the folder on the card which has that single photo you just took. Put the card back into the camera & you should be able to view them again.

When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported". I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
Any ideas out there?

I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work. It says "the connected display is not supported" What's up?
Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. But trying again later doesn't work any better.
Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen. It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

IPhone and iPad cannot play back some shared videos.

I have a 3rd gen. iPad, an iPhone 4S, and a 17 inch MacBook Pro, all with the latest OS and software. I have library sharing turned on on the MacBook, and an extensive video library of TV shows purchased on iTunes. Some of the episodes, usually from the same season, will not play back on the iPad, and cannot be listed on the iPhone. All of the files are located in sub folders under the same "iTunes Library" folder. They all have the same .m4v file extension. I cannot see a pattern that might help me figure this out, so I am asking for help.

convert with SmartConverter to .appletv

IPad is saying cannot play. Content is not authorized. Help!

I downloaded a tv show on my ipad and It will not play the show. It says Cannot open...this content is not authorized.

Are you using the latest software on your iPad (iOS 7.0.4)? If you are not, update your software as this often solves this problem.

TS4009 what do you do when you can't get in your iphone because the window is stuck that says cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available and

My iphone is stuck on the window that says "Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage ........" but it won't let me choose "Close" or "Settings", can't slide to unlock it and can't turn it off. ???????

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

Cannot play back DVR stream not in _definst_ directory

I'm running FMS 4 with DVRCast v1.2.114. When I use my own player app, I am able to play DVR archives not stored in _definst_ where my server name is something like rtmp://myserver/dvrcast_origin/mydirectory/ and my stream name is something like mp4:stream.f4v.
However, when I try to play DVR archives not in _definst_ with strobe (http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#) where the specified URL is the concatenation of the server and stream name above, I get an error "DVRCast subscribe failed Unexpected server response: NetStream.DVRInfo.Failed". However, I can connect to DVR archives in _definst_ without a problem.
My suspicion is that strobe is not properly parsing the server name and stream name out of the URL when establishing connection to the FMS server. I'm wondering there is a different syntax for the src= that will work. Right now it looks like:
src=rtmp%3A%2F%2Fmyserver%2Fdvrcast_origin%2Fmydirectory%2Fmp4%3Astream.f4v&streamType=dvr
Regards,
Tim

IPad cannot play "Back to the Mac" Apple Keynote Podcast ???

Are you kidding me??? Why isn't Apple publishing its own podcast in an .m4v format the iPad can play?
So much for the "integrated" ecosystem Jobs touted in the earnings call Monday...

What I did a few hours ago is deleted the file from the podcast in iTunes, then right-click on the Apple Keynotes podcast feed header and Update Podcas, right-click on it again afterwards and Show all available episodes, then finally download it again. I now have a file which is reported by iTunes as 1,004.4MB and by Finder as 1,053,109,240 bytes - different from the filesize on my previous download - and this file now DOES correctly play on my iPad (and iPhone4 and AppleTV).
My guess is either (1) Apple re-published the file to the podcast feed after some of us had downloaded it (and it got cached various places too) and/or (2) some problem with their content distribution network meant there were some "bad" copies of the file able to be downloaded (depending on which CDN server a user's download request happened to get satisfied by).
Anyway, deleting and re-downloading - and doing no other fiddling - worked fine for me.

So i got this laptop today, and i'm trying to put my iPod music on it. i got the music but it only plays when my ipod is plugged into it. when i unplug my ipod, and try to play music, it says cannot play previous purchases... someone please help!!

someone please help me!

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

Cannot play video files in new photos app for mac

Hi There,
I recently moved from an older imac to a new one (both had Yosemite installed). I moved my photos over by copying my old photo library file and pasting it to replace the same file on the new mac. All my photos came over fine, however i am unable to play some of the video files. I get a warning saying 'Cannot Play file - Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in Quicktime Player?'. If i try in quicktime it won't open either.
What's strange is that when i go to the info tab for these videos they show as .MOV files that were taken on an iphone 5S - but they are very small in size - 5KB or so. Perhaps the size of the thumbnail image only. Any ideas on how i can fix this? When i open them on the old mac i get an other warning issue stating 'The necessary data reference could not be resolved'
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.

Cannot play songs in i Tunes

Hi ..and help...
In order to free up space for iMovie projects I did trash some I tunes files I found in my documents folder. I thought they were just titles of songs so I deleted them.
Anyway I did free up a lot of space but my entire iTunes library is not playable:says "cannot play because original file cannot be found."
Help - how to I try and get my music back in operation?
appreciatively,
Steve

well unless you backed up your music files (the
actual files not the itunes files) then you really
can't get your music back. you'll have to
download/rip them again. If you were lucky enough for
them to be in your recycle bin you could restore the
files. but they are probably gone.
I do have them backed up on my 40GB iPod. So...can i dump them all back over?
Steve
