Use ipad2 to play video on Apple TV but cannot get the video to play on the iPad even though I change setting without shutting down and restarting the ipad.

I have been using my ipad2 to show video on my flatscreen using the Apple TV. Recently I find that once I use Apple TV I cannot switch back to the ipad for viewing even if I go back to the little rectangular screen and change the checkmark to ipad. Once this happens all my videos will only play through apple tv. If I shut down the ipad and restart it I come up in the ipad mode and can view it on the pad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not really sure on this one, but one thought I have is how full is your iPad. Have you connected your iPad to iTunes recently.

IPOD CLASSIC STOPS PLAYING MOVIE HALF WAY

I don't use my iPod much for videos because it's too tiny, but I have this series of university lectures available on the web -- no copyright issues -- which I need to watch. Each one is about 1.5 hours long. The player stops after the first 20-28 mins and goes back to the list. That happens with most files.
The files play perfectly on iTunes on the computer. Only on the iPod I have this problem. File format is mp4. Windows.
I tried different videos, just to make sure there wasn't anything the particular files. I downloaded documentaries from the web -- purposefully copyright-free to ensure mass distribution -- and the same thing happens.
Any suggestions?

Since the files appear to be okay (they played correctly in their entirety in iTunes), then the issue is with the iPod Classic. The first thing I would try to do is to simply reset the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It might also help to remove these videos from your device by configuring your iPod to longer these videos via iTunes and your iPod's Movies tab. Then resync them back over to your device.
If all else fails, you'll want to try and restore the device. This process, wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would eliminate any possibility of corrupted data or a software glitch.

My ipod classic wont play movies

my dad said i could have his old ipod 5th gen (classic) and i downloaded one of my videos on to it and when i play it it only plays the sound and shows a frame of the movie like music artwork the same happens with music videos

If these are movies and music videos from the iTunes Store, I don't think they play on the 5th gen iPod (the first "video iPod"). The 5th gen iPod was released before the iTunes Store started selling video content. Unlike songs from the iTunes Store, the commercial video content (Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos) have DRM (copy protection). My understanding is that the 5th gen iPod does not have a "chip" needed to play the protected content.
Also, the 5th gen iPod can generally play video content with resolution up to 320x240. Later iPods (that play video) can go up to 640x480. So, that may be why it plays the audio but not the video on the ones you tried. It's the first iPod to play videos; it's more limited in what it can do.

I cannot get Ipod Classic to sync in iTunes

Hope someone can help me. I have an iPod Classic that will not sync any of my music to it. I just got a new computer with Windows 8 (before I had Vista). Windows recognizes the iPod and so does iTunes. It starts to sync, the wheel turns for about 20 seconds then says 'eject before disconnecting". I've tried restoring the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and I've run the iTunes diagnostics. On the sync test is says no iPod found. I've checked to make sure iTunes was enabled and I've also made sure new computer was authorized. Any ideas?

How is your iPod configured to sync music to your device from iTunes? In other words, what configurations have you made/enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes.

It's so xxxx complicated to play a movie with subtitels
since JMF was last updated at 2004.
i am giving a try to MPlayer.

with no need of hacking things like:
searching for codecs all over the web
find one site that hack JMF to display text over JMF Player .(and i searched google)
find a responsible why to handle player timing (subtitle timing)
and more simple why to play a movie without catching alot of exceptions
till you lost your mind.
sorry .i rely give it a try.
thanks allot every one.

Playing movie with subtitles and without

Total newbie at making a film with subtitles and at using DVD Studio Pro
The person creating the subtitles did it in FCP and I just opened her project and then laid it on my video. Question is - how can I burn the DVD with the options of English only or with subtitles.
Do I need to have two movies imported into DVD Studio, one with subtitles another not (it's only a 30 minute video, so that's not a problem to fit on a DVD).
Or is there another way to handle it in DVD Studio?
thanks

Typically you would NOT have subs on your footage, but would add them to DVDSP as a separate file. You can create subtitles inside DVDSP but if you do there is no flexibility in manipulating them later.
Workflow is to create the footage in FCP, then to use that in a subtitler app to spot the speech and create the subs, then import the footage and the subs file into DVDSP.
As for setting it up in DVDSP, have a look here:

and here for slightly more complexity:

IPod Classic will play movies/videos, but no music whatsoever.

Just recently got the iPod, secondhand, and had it restored and synced with my computer. I put all of my movies and music on it, which did not take up much space at all, and none of the songs will play. And this goes for both purchased and non purchased songs. they stay for about 5 seconds and then skip. However, all of the videos work.

Hi there,
I would recommend that you take a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Cannot get ipod to work or sync with Itunes.

I have tried to connect my ipod to Itunes several times and it does not work.It just a red circle with an x in it.Can anyone help me?

Does it charge from the power outlet? If not, try a different cable to see if yours is bad. If still no luck it could be a bad dock connector and a visit to the Apple store genius bar will probably help.

I cannot get rid of the Blingee Search Canvas tab, even though I have uninstalled the Blingee toolbar. Please help.

I went to Blingee and for some reason, ever since, Search Canvas has become my default search engine on Firefox only. I uninstalled the Blingee toolbar. I have search my computer for "Blingee" and "Search Canvas" and there is nothing to uninstall.

After months, I think I figured it out...
I was frustrated because I like to use the url bar as my search engine, which is not fixed using the link posted by jadeye.
Try this...
* In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
* Inside of the filter search box, type in: browser.search.defaulturl
* ctrl click and choose “Modify”
* Type in: http://www.google.com/search?lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Do the same process with: keyword.URL and use:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
I think those steps finally fixed it for me. F-ing Blingee / SearchCanvas. What a racket.

Getting my 80G Ipod classic to play on TV,s or video players

I have tried almost everything I can to get my Ipod to play on video players and my TV. I have the setting to TV OUT on. Have all the cables that I need. Yet when I try to play it on any thing else all it does is stay on the TV OUT screen Get sound but no picture. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

If you bought the iPod AV Cable (The one for $20), you got the wrong one. That one -the one that connects from the Headset jack to the 3 color cables (RCA)- is not for the iPod Classic, it works only with the iPod with color display, iPod Photo and iPod Video.
I saw one kit earlier today on Wal-Mart with a bigger box and for a much bigger price: $99 Dollars! HEY APPLE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? You need to be more clear on your packages as to what iPod is compatible that device and/or need to make more devices for the iPod Classic.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try resetting the iPod...

If that doesn't work, make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes

If the problem persists, see if a restore helps...

Also, is this with all videos or purchased ones? Do purchased songs work fine?
Finally, see if this sample video works (the one for the iPod)...

Thanks again for you help. I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes. Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad. I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs. Anyway, long process but it worked. Thanks again.

Cannot get iPod to sync with iTunes using Windows 8 Laptop!

I have been trying to get my iPod classic to sync up with iTunes using my Windows 8 Laptop all night! I tried restoring the iPod, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting my iPod to restart my laptop then plugging back in. I also ran iTunes Diagnostics and it says my iPod isn't connected yet it shows on the sidebar. I also have automatic sync set up. When I hit sync, it initializes then stops. What am I doing wrong? Is there some trick I am missing. Also, my iPod won't charge unless it is syncing. What's up with that?
Any help or advice would really be appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

For the charging issue, some newer computers with USB 3.0 ports (especially laptops) seem to have a "feature" that saves energy by turning off full power to the port when the connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device. When iTunes syncs the iPod, iTunes mounts the iPod's dlsk. So it gets full power on the port, and the battery charges. When iTunes is done syncing, iTunes automatically unmounts the iPod's disk. The system shuts off full power to the port, and the battery no longer charges.
To work around this problem, go to the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. There is a setting their for Enable disk use. Check that box and Apply. This setting keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, when the iPod is connected. Therefore, the port should continue to receive full power, and the battery charges. That's fine for now, but later on, you can go into the computer's Control Panel preferences to see if there is a setting that disables this "energy saver" feature, and keeps the USB ports at full power all the time, whether the storage device is mounted or not. If that is possible, you can turn OFF Enable disk use for the iPod.
NOTE: WIth disk use enabled, you need to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it safely from USB. The Eject button is next to the iPod's name in iTunes (to the right).
Now, for your main question about setting up automatic syncing... First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music there, next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. If you want your entire iTunes music library on your iPod (and it fits), choose the option to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. Going forward, any change you make to your iTunes music library syncs to the iPod automatically (at the next opportunity).
