Can't Fast Forward Videos...

I can play downloaded videos in iTunes, but when I try to fast forward it the video closes & I get a "Nothing Playing" message.

I have the same thing happen. Trying to fast forward or rewind a vid crashes iTunes.
Hope someone out there has a fix!

Can't fast forward videos on

I've been trying to get transferring video from my linux machine working properly. I'm using iri'verter to convert to a suitably formatted xvid avi file.
When I transfer that file to by Zen using gnomad2 or mtpfs, while I can play it, I cannot fast forward or rewind.
If I copy the same file over to my windows machine and use the ZEN Media Explorer to transfer it, it works fine.
I've even then pulled the file back off the Zen using mtpfs and it is byte identical to the original.
It seems that the Windows software (or some facet of the interaction there) performs some sort of indexing of video file that is transferred, which doesn't happen if you use other tools...
Any ideas?

Hi ecognito,
I have the same problem as I use a Mac. Only if you use the Creative Converter it is working fine for me...

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

Jon,
It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can not fast forward though podcasts on iPhone 4.

When I first got the phone I was able to fast forward though them. Then something happened three days ago and now I can't fast forward though them at all. When I'm looking at the podcast selection screen it shows '--:--' as the time for all the podcasts. When the podcast is playing it shows '-00:00' as the play time and the scrubber never moves. If I try to fast forward at all it just jumps back to the beginning of the podcast.
Anyone find a fix for this?

I have the same problem. But it happens in mp3 music as well as podcasts. The only solution I've found is to reboot my iPhone. It's kind of a hassle, so I'd like to see a fix from Apple.

Problem Fast Forwarding Video

Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes when I fast forward videos I've put on the IPod, it stops, shows a black screen, and kicks me back to the main screen so I have to start the movie all over again.

Never Mind. I found another post saying to press the center button and then use the click wheel to move forward. This seems to be working fine.

Can any IPADS forward video & or music through your local network to a device(tv) like android and surface devices

can any Ipads forward video & music through your local network to a device(tv) like an android or surface tablet

Had the same issue here. Here is the best solution I have found so far:
Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices. I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each. They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered). (Note: you have to have the right cable to do this. The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.) If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN. The Pepwave will do this. The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable. I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off. So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme. The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use. The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome. I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices. If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG. The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one. That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance. Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation.

I have downloaded five hours of video of my band playing and have edited it down to two hours but I can't fast forward it or jump to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there anyway to eq the sound before making a dvd

I have edited five hours of my band playing and after burning a dvd it won't fast forward or go to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there a way to add eq to the video before I burn it. (the bass is weak)

Hi Steve,
The following suggestions assume you are using iMovie '11 (but are also mostly applicable to iMovie '09 from memory - but not sure about the Equalizer).
You mentioned in the topic header that you had edited the project down to 2 hours. In iDVD that is the maximum time allowed for a standard single layer DVD, including time taken for the theme and menus. Perhaps things are a bit tight, and you may need to shorten the project by a few minutes before exporting again for iDVD.
Note that for the Best Performance setting the maximum duration is 1 hour. For 2 hours duration you need to use either High Quality or Professional Quality (the latter takes about twice as long to encode, as it does a 2 pass operation).
In your iMovie project did you insert chapter markers for the beginning of each song? If so, don't place them within a transition. Also, don't insert a marker at the very beginning of the project - iDVD will do this for you automatically - all you need to do in iDVD is rename it. In case you aren't familiar with the markers, see this picture (just drag the marker onto the clip where you want the chapter to start, then give it a name in the marker box that appears):
Regarding the Equalizer, in the iMovie project, double-click on the audio track to bring up the Inspector. Select Audio - you will see an Equalizer item. Use the Custom setting, or by clicking on the disclosure triangles (little arrow heads), you can choose from a range of presets. See this picture:
Hope this helps!

Can you fast forward in movies?

When I view a video, if I click the center button I sometimes see the "timing" bar (that shows time played and time remaining) although it doesn't seem to work all the time.
Even when I see the bar displayed, it looks like I can't use the wheel to select a starting time to play from? I expected to see a diamond that I can move around just like when I play music.
Am I missing something about the user interface, or do I just have to make sure I have the time to watch the whole video in one sitting?
FYI, for some reason the video appears under "music video" rather than movies, I'm nt sure why nor do I know if this might have an impact on playback capabilities

Hi Papa....
I have the classic 80. While a video is playing, if I push the center button once, I can use the touch wheel to change volume. If I double click the center button, then I can scroll through the video to fast forward and reverse. When I find the section of video I want, then I click the center button again and it goes to the point I selected.
Also, if I push and hold the right or left arrow, the video will fast forward and reverse. This way of fast-forwarding and reversing is not very precise. But it works for me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

How Can I Fast Forward through clips - Any key Command?

I am watching some long clips in my event library ... I want to choose sections to move to the project library.
As the movie plays ... I can use the arrow (left and right) to slow mo forward or backward.
What I need is a key command that will give me a fast forward ... say 2 or 3 times play speed.
The only way I know to fast forward is to use the trackpad with my fingers but this way I keep losing my position on the clips and skip over rows ... you also have to drag back to the beginning of the next row and know where you are ..
To find parts of clips that you want to select and drag up to your project this seems like a necessity especially when viewing a long movie ... it's really tedious to have to drag through the whole thing.
AM I out of luck?

OOOpps ... sorry ... wrong forum ....

How can I fast forward Audio Files without itunes?

So I like having the ability to preview audio files directly in the finder folders. I would like the ability to fast forward and rewind them but I cant seem to figure out how to do it without opening itunes first. Kind of annoying. I like how in windows you click play on an audio file and windows media player opens and you can ffwd and rewind. Any Jedi's out there know how I can do this? Thanks!

There are plenty of other audio players for Mac that are lighter weight than iTunes.
I use VLC, but here are some others:

How can I fast forward in Podcast?

I want to know how to fast forward in a podcast? I can hold down the fast forward button and it goes a few seconds and I can rewind for a few seconds. However I want to fast forward minutes.
Any suggestions? I see in the manual on page 62 about podcast and audiobook controlls but I don't have playback speed or a skip to any point in the timeline.

To skip to any point on the timeline, drag the playhead along the scrubber bar. While dragging, slide your finger down to slowdown the scrub rate.

Can't fast forward in QuickTime for iPhone 3.0?

Does anyone know how to get the slider bar that allows you to fast forward a Quicktime on iPhone 3.0? On the previous version, any quicktime apps had the volume slider on the bottom, and the play timer up top, which you could slide to forward to or go back to a time on the track. On 3.0, i only see the volume slider, and a 30 second rewind, and a 'next track' button. what if you want to fast forward?

I suspect it's the way they were recorded. I've seen that behaviour before with music and video files I have downloaded. I'm not sure of the actual reason or any possible solution.

I can't fast forward.

Is there any way to fix this? I can change songs and do everything else, but yesterday, I lost the ability to fast forward.
And no, I'm not going to delete 50 gigs of music to see if it works.

Did you try these?
The Five Rs.
If by "delete 50 gigs of music" you mean you don't want to restore the iPod because you don't have that music stored anyplace else, then you may well be stuck with an iPod that won't fast forward.
