Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!
- robjohn

This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
Maybe version 1.1?

    Can anyone please help? It won't synch. I got all of my video podcasts on itunes so I don't think they need to be converted. They are not loading at all. It ignores the folder I set up for them completely. I am very frustrated. I tried a reinstall and still not luck. PLEASE help! If it is a problem with my Ipod I would like to return it.

  • Can't get video podcast to show up on my iPod

    I've downloaded tv programs, even compressed some of my own video work and put it on my iPod....but for some reason, the 3 video podcasts I downloaded don't show up after my iPod updates. I searched in the music section as well as the video section under "podcasts," but nothing is there. Any suggestions? Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?

    Any suggestions?
    Would suggest you check the format of the podcast. I downloaded one last week and found Sorenson video and QDesign audio tracks. If it is in what appears to be the correct format and parameter settings, then try converting it yourself and see it it syncs.
    If the converted file syncs, then I would conclude that the author's workflow may not have included adequate "field testing." (Likely relying on past successes with a particular application and/or settings.) This happened to me this week when I downloaded an Apple product/technique tutorial. (Strangely enough, the only one in the series I had tourble with delt with podcasting.) If the files still refuses to sync, then I would suggest you recheck your iTunes preference settings
    Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?
    "Drag 'n Drop" is, i believe, a manual management function. However, I doubt it would bypass the iTunes files scan to check on whether or not the file is iPod compatible. (I assume you aren't talking about simple data storage here.) On the other hand, at least one individual has claimed to have "hacked" his way into the loading of video data rate restricted files. Unfortunately, I am not interested in wasting space in order to put "DVD quality" files on an iPod. (If I want DVD quality, I'll watch the DVD.)

  • I can't get my music to play on my IPhone 5.

    I can't get music to play on my IPhone 5.
    There seems to be a song stuck downloading "processing"
    I tried to delete the download, but when I right swipe on it the delete symbol doesn't appear.

    How do I fix this?
    If the tune is a MP3 then there is an issue with Safari. Convert the tune to AAC.

  • Some videos and video podcasts wont play on my iphone 4

    any help would be great!
    thanks

  • How can I get certain music to play on my iPhone 4S?

    I have transferred about 15 songs from an old mp3 player over to iTunes, but it comes up as unplayable on the iPhone. The songs appear in my music, but are colored gray and I cannot open them on my iPhone. I am able to open them and play them on my computer, but they won't play on the iPhone even after I sync it. Help??

    The Airplay icon only appears if there's an Airplay enabled device that the iPhone or iPad  can find in the same network, or connected via bluetooth.
    How are you attempting to use Airplay?

  • Can't get video's to play on macbook

    This message is relating to a problem my boss is having while trying to view a CD with video on it. He viewed the CD on a different MAC and was able to view the contents- he brought it home and put it in his PC and was able to view it there also, but when he went to load it on his MAC laptop, he couldn't get it to work. Any idea what might be going on? Could he have an incorrect version of Quicktime player or do you think he needs to purchase an additional add on feature to enable him to open this?
    He's also mentioned not being able to open/view videos attached to e-mails, it brings up jibberish he referred to as "Chinese scribble".

    Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
    When you repost, it will help if you can state what format this video is. Otherwise people will be largely just guessing.
    Regards.

  • How can I get video clips to play in a browser?

    Scenario:  A client visits my Web site.  A shockwave movie plays automatically.  It contains a video clip.  When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.  I have tried avi, windows media, mpeg and quicktime with the same results.
    I have found that the video plays fine as long as I open the director movie with Director.  But when I open it with a browser, the video clip does not play.  I have tried Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.
    Does someone know what I am missing to make the video play in a browswer?
    Thanks.
    Dewey

    When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.
    Presumably you have code to stop the playhead from moving while the video plays? You might want to post it.
    If you are testing this locally, you need a folder named "dswmedia" somewhere in the path or linked content, like your video file, won't be found. Check the docs for more details.

  • Can't get .wav file to play on my iPhone

    Would anyone know how to fix my iPhone, so when i get a voice email message (voice-message.wav)It says "This movie could not be played" it is not a movie it is a .wav file in Quicktime??
    thanks

    As far as I am aware, iPhone will support MPEG -4 video, MP3 and AAC audio formats.
    I have had voicemail messages, though not through email, all played fine on my iPhone.

  • I bought songs on iTunes worth my iPhone, but I paused the download on my phone. Now I can not get the songs to play on my iPhone or re-download to my phone. How do I get them on my phone?

    I need help getting the songs onto my phone.

    Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed on your computer.

  • I can't get videos to play on safari on my IPad without adobe flash player

    I can't get my iPad to play videos on safari without using adobe flash player?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

  • I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  2 month old macbook pro running lion. says format not supported

    I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  Says format not supported. 

    What kind of video?  There are dozens of formats, some don't play on a Mac unless you have the right plug-ins for Quicktime.  There are some things you should download to help you out.

    These should cover EVERYTHING you'd ever encounter (though maybe not).  Frankly, if it's not H.264 or w4v (or both), it doesn't belong on your mac. 

  • I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen

    I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen
    Whenever, I have pages open or any other app I press the home button twice, and then I swipe to the right and obtain the menu that allows me to alter brightness or sound. At this point I press play and nothing works. However, once I go back to my youtube page, and press the play button then it works. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    just click the serial number in itunes ... geeze... just kidding
    you might be able to find it on the mac...
    in finder do your username under places then library then application support then MobileSync then Backups
    the shortest folder name should be the UDID
    of course that assumes it ever made a backup...
    if it made more than one there will be some -date-blah on the end...

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
