Can't play TV shows on my video ipod. . .

Only had this awhile. In iTunes, I have TV Shows under library, but I can't find TV shows anywhere on my iPod. I looked through prefs and I can find music videos. I've tried creating a playlist, but the only place I can play movies that I bought at iTunes store is on my computer.
Any suggestions?
thanks

I looked through it, but ONLY TV shows aren't playing, nor will the TV Shows playlist copy to my 5th gen video iPod. Everything else from the iTunes Store (including music videos that came with CDs) is playing.

Google app can't play all the audio and video on this page, any suggestions?

New Lenovo Yoga laptop with W8.1. I have downloaded the google app, and when I search for something and the go to open a video, the flash player doesn't work and I get a message across the top of the window saying "google app can't play all the audio and video on this page"
Does anyone have a fix? i can only find a fix for google chrome, not their app.
Thanks

The "app" from the windows app store called "google search" http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/308dc145-6851-487d-b83b-1223a3b52dc2
It isn't specific to search video or anything else, you just type in the search and it finds the answers, but it isn't done via chrome. When the result includes a video or audio and I click on the link to that page, the app kicks up that the flash player needs downloading. I can't work out how to do it

Can't play you tube and other videos with Firefox. Have re-installed Adobe Flash player without success. I can play you tube videos using Internet Explorer.
I am also unable to even see the link to audio replay on Capitol Pressroom archives. The same link is visible and functional on Internet Explorer.

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

Can't play Daily Show videos in Safari or firefox

I try to turn the "Allow third-party..." setting to TRUE in the attached image but it doesn't seem to change. I wonder if this might be related to why I can't play these videos.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
David

Since the those videos require Flash, try this.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab.
Select: Allow sites to save information on this computer
Then select the Advanced tab.
Select Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Now empty the Safari cache..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

TS2972 Can't play TV shows with Home Sharing

I have home sharing turned on on both my home computer (a PC) and my Mac. When I try to play music, it works just fine, but when I try to play TV shows, all I get is a black screen. Help!

We are having this exact same problem - started happening after we did the software update tonight. Have tried restarting, resetting, and all the other obvious tricks. It seemed to work for a minute when we used the iPad ATV remote, but that stopped working after a couple of minutes too. We can play previews, and iTunes library stuff, but not movies or TV shows purchased via the ATV. We've got a new episode of game of thrones sitting there that we can't play - very frustrating!

I can't play a show i bought on iTunes?

A message pops up saying "this movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes". I also have the rest of the season but 3 episodes cannot play due to that. I have the newest version of iTunes. How can i play these episodes? Thanks!!

Either buy the $99 Apple TV or
Connect the MBpro to the TV with a HDMI cable.

I can't play downloaded shows from iTunes in QuickTime.

I've downloaded Quicktime, installed it. And it wouldn't play my shows from iTunes. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled and still wont play, keeps saying "The movie requires Quicktime, which is not included in this version of iTunes. To play this movie, install QuickTime".... :/ I have a Windows 7 Dell laptop.

Hello ifeoluwaloju,
The article below details how to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and it's related components. Doing so should help resolve this message.

Can't play music from Universal Dock when iPod classic plugged in

According to the iPod classic manual, one can play music or video while the iPod is connected to the computer or AC power to be charged up. However, this is not working for me. Instead, it says "Connected", and won't actually let me play music unless I unplug the USB cable. I have set iTunes to NOT start automatically, otherwise it will just sync over and over again, and still never play music. I know the iPod and dock are working correctly because if I unplug the USB cable from my computer, it plays music through the dock as expected. Suggestions? Thanks.

Alas, not so easy. No matter what way I use to eject it from iTunes, once it stops with the "Ok to disconnect" bit, if it is still in the cradle (which it needs to be for playing), it toggles back to Connected, and the following dialog box from iTunes pops up, saying:
"The iPod <name of iPod> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
The only application using it is iTunes. I've tried exiting iTunes quickly, no joy. [Aside to discussion forum moderators: There doesn't seem to be a way to paste in a bitmap to show the dialog. Oh well.]
I just found a work-around, basically telling Windows at the OS level to remove the iPod qua USB device (usual way, right-click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon, choose the drive letter associated with the iPod), and that seems to do it. The battery icon is in the AC power state, so it's still on external power even though the OS doesn't see it. So maybe that's good enough. Although that's still something that iTunes ought to be doing, I would think.

Playing Audio Books On My Video iPod

I have a new 80 gig video ipod. I puchased an audio book from iTunes. The book downloaded to my computer just fine and I can play the book on my computer. File is located in the Audio Book folder and is in the M4B format.
The book is on my iPod, located in the Audio Book folder. When I select the file to play, it shows that it is playing for about 3 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. It never starts playng.
Further, whenever I sync my computer and iPod, the play count keeps going up. It now says that I have played the file over 30 times when in fact, I haven't heard one word of it.
I hope someone can help.

I posted about this problem yesterday as I was having the same problem. I contacted iTunes customer service using their email form on that page. I heard back from them in about 10 hours. They authorized me to download the book again. It plays like a charm now.
Apple has superb customer service. I was treated with courtesy and promptly each time I contacted them about this problem and a couple of more issues that were my stupidity.
I'm very pleased with Apple! !

Why is it taking so long to download a TV show to my Video iPod

I recently purchased a video iPod and am downloading my first tv show. It's an hour long show and it's been downloanding for close to an hour. Should it take this long?

Assuming you are downloading from itunes, yes it can, it really depends on several things, the network, your connection speed, your download speed. I have had it take close to two hours at times to download a tv show and at others only about 30 minutes.

How can i watch tv shows on my 30gig ipod?

i sync tv shows into my ipod but my ipod doesn't have the option "tv shows" in the video. can anyone tell me wat im doing wrong or try telling me how to add the tv show option into my ipod?

OK...if you're seeing Videos in your menu, then you should see TV Shows within that menu....if the shows have actually been synced. Do you sync automatically or manually? If automatic, you might need to check your sync settings. With iPod connected to iTunes, select the iPod in DEVICES and click on the Video (or TV Shows, can't remember which it is) tab at the top of the Summary window. Make sure you have it set to sync all.

Problem: Can't see photos on TV with video IPod

I'm having a *** of a time getting my photos on the iPod to show up on my TV. I have one of those cables with the white/yellow/red ends made by Griffin for the iPod. I have an amp with the three color plugs, and a VCR which has the same. I get the audio ok, but in no permutation do I get the photos. It's true my TV is 15 years old and has no color input receptacle, but when I connect my camcorder in the usual way I get audio and video. Just not with iPod.
I have a newer TV in another room which has the three color inputs, and when I connect the iPod to that, I get no photos either.
Am I missing some setting within the iPod that I should be using??

They are the two options for TV signal on the iPod. To be honest, I don't know what they mean or how they relate to various television sets. My suggestion is to try both and see if either one works. NTSC is the one that works on both TV sets I've plugged my iPods into, one being a photo iPod, the other being a video iPod.

Can't put iTunes Store items on Video iPod

Hi everyone... hopefully someone can help me out!
I have a brand new Video iPod, a flat panel Mac G4 using Tiger 10.4.4, and iTunes 6.0.2.
Every song and audiobook that I have purchased from the iTunes store will NOT go on my iPod. It keeps telling me that "some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPOD because your iPod software is too old." Ok, I know that's not the case because it's brand new, but I updated everything anyway.
What I finally noticed is that the songs are locked. When I see them in my music folder on my hard drive, they have a little lock icon in the upper left corner of the music icon which, coincidentally, is in a M4P format. All the songs I have purchased, and the 3 audiobooks as well, are all like that- locked and M4P format (or MP4).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, do you know how I can get this stuff on my iPod? Every question sent to Apple has been met with the same "solution" of either update it, restore it, restart it, etc. I've done all that. It appears to be something to do with the fact that these things are locked. Can I unlock them somehow??

Yes and no... I am TRYING to use the latest update of the software, which is "iPod updater 2006-01-10." It says I am updated, so I tried to put my "purchased" music on my iPod and it still gives me the message that I am unable to add those songs because my iPod software is too old. So I went to restore it instead, and the updater software says I need to connect using the firewire. But when I use the firewire it doesn't recognize the iPod!
I took the songs giving me trouble and put them on a CD. I imported the CD onto my laptop. From there I was able to restore the iPod, finally, and I was able to put those elusive "purchased" songs on the iPod, but when I connected it back to my main computer, I was back to square one. I needed to reconnect the iPod to my main computer because after the restore on the laptop I lost all my original songs, so I had to get the songs from the main computer. By doing that, I lost the "purchased" songs because iTunes wouldn't let me keep them AND add the my old songs back on because they are from different libraries! ARGH!
Apparently I just need to take it in to be fixed because I've serioulsy tried everything. If there was a way to transfer the iTunes library from the main computer to the laptop, everything would probably work. Is that possible?
