Creating a video to play on an iPad

I am trying to create a slideshow video (using Adobe Lightroom 4 on Windows7) to play on an iPad. I exported it as a .mp4 in both 720p and 1080p but iTunes won't put either on my iPad3 because it says "this video can't be played on this iPad." What should i do? why won't the videos play on an iPad?
LightRoom says the format should work with QuickTime

You will only encounter playback issues with non-native file container formats (MKV, AVI, MTS, WMV etc.) played from third-party players. MOV / M4V / MP4 files, assuming they have proper H.264 AVC (or ASP) content, will play back just fine, even at extreme bitrates.
For example, the standardized 40 Mbps (!!!) test video stream at http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h264_1080p_hp_4.1_40mbps_birds.mkv plays just fine with the original (24 fps) framerate on ALL A4- and A5-based iOS devices after remuxing it to a MP4 container. For that matter, even the old iPhone 3GS plays it back at a tolerable speed.
That is, all you need to do is sticking with H.264 and MOV / M4V / MP4 containers - that is, avoiding non-native containers and/or stream formats. Then, you surely won't ever encounter framerate issues, not even with 1080p content playing back on A4-based models like the iPad 1 / iPhone 4 / iPod touch 4. (Of course, you need a third-party app to sync these 1080p files to as iTunes, however much the device would easily be able to play back the files, refuses to sync them. As was also the case with the iPad 2 before the iOS5 times, BTW.)

Getting videos to play on my iPad

Does anyone know how to get videos to play on the iPad? On my iPhone I was able to convert videos files to mp4 and then they would show up in my library. I can not get my iPad to do this. Anyone know how???

The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

No video will play on my iPad mini.

No video will play on my iPad mini. I have upgraded the iOS, I have shut down all apps and reset. Still just getting a black screen when I press play on any video in any app or website

I have this same problem, with my iPad 2. All was fine until I updated to IOS 7.0.6. Now when I am in sites with imbedded You Tube videos, nothing will play. Videos appear to load & then I get a black screen. I have done same - shut down all apps & reset. Any other ideas? Thx.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

I recorded video on a memory card. How do I get the video to play on my iPad?

I have a trail camera with a memory card. I record videos. They will not play on my iPad2. How can I get them to play? I have the adapter that plugs into the iPad, which in turn, the memory card plugs into it.

What format are the videos?
Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

I would like to create instructional videos on 'how to' for iPad.

Hi,
I would like to create instructional videos for teachers on how to do various tasks on the iPad.
At the moment I have an iPad and a PC.
I have tired an App called 'DispRecorder' to get the capture from the iPad, but I am unable to find an app to add arrows as highlights. Any suggestions?
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there are better way? Or are they apps that I cannot find.
Thanks in advance for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Hopefully I will be able to create instructional videos soon.
Thanks
Brendon

With the wireless card in your Mac you can set up a network to which the iPhone can connect: obviously your Mac would have to be on for this to work. Or you could buy a wireless router such as the Airport Extreme, which might not be much more expensive, and use that to connect the iPhone. You could use an Airport Express, but you would need to already have a router so that there was a spare ethernet socket for it.
This was the best reference I could find for setting up a network from your computer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8339.html
However note that it apparently only supports WEP encryption, which is far from secure, not WPA which is what you should be using.
Another factor is that if this is a Mac Pro, you may have problems installing the card. As I remember some models can be fitted with a card if ordered with it initially, but retro-fitting is difficult and really needs to be done by an engineer. Given all this I would suggest investigating the Airport Express, bearing in mind the issue of needing a router if you don't have one built into your modem.

After the latest update of ios 7 none of the videos are playing in my iPad Air

I have updated the latest version 2 weeks ago. After that no video is playing in my air . Also the wifi access speed went very very slow. I am sure the speed is not like previous. Requesting u team to plz check and update with a resolution. Thanks in advance

Hello Ashok Ganesan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with watching videos on your iPad Air, as well as the slow Wi-Fi issue you are experiencing.
First, I recommend using these steps to troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing with watching videos (you can skip step 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I recommend the following steps for the Wi-Fi issue you described:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Creating a video to play on Blackberry 8310 Curve

I'm wondering if anybody has had any success creating a video to run on a
blackberry, specifically the 8310 Curve.
I've gone to the blackberry site, looked at their specs on what type of formats it will run, and I've read the blackberry manual...but there is a whole menagerie of complex specs that is difficult to decifer...in otherwords, it's not as easy as it "will run a quicktime" or "mp4".
If anybody has successfully created a video using FCP or Quicktime Pro or Compressor to run on their blackberry, I'd be interested in hearing exactly what format you used and how you got there.
Thanks.

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.

How can I get my embeded video to play on the IPAD?

Hi,
I added a video to my PDF by clicking interactive objects > Video. I then needed to convert the video using Adobe media encoder which I did successfully to a .f4v file and now it will not play on my Iphone/Ipad. What sort of player to I need to make these files work?
Thanks

You can see the little play button but when I click on it, it says this format is not supported.

I cannot get YouTube videos to play on the ipad.

Reboot, reload, installed YouTube app, it played 1/2 of a video and went back to "video is currently unavailable". It worked last week. Problem both with browser and app. Help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

Websites that have Videos that play perfectly in iPad Safari

Of course websites with embedded links to YouTube work well, but I've found a few sites that videos play great on:
- The Onion: www.theonion.com
- CNN: www.cnn.com
- Funny or Die: www.funnyordie.com (very good quality)
Partial:
- NY Times: www.nytimes.com (some videos are not converted to HTML5 and don't work right still)
Any others that you've found and like?

Open the Flash Player pane in System Preferences and select the Camera and Mic tab. Deselect the radio button marked
Block all sites from using the camera and microphone

Any helpful hints on how to get videos to play on my IPad. It constantly stops while it is playing

Videos constantly stop when I try to watch them on my IPad, except the ones I take with my IPad. Videos on Facebook and some on YouTube

If you are testing on public wifi, that hardly helps. Public wifi is always over taxed with users and slow.
WhenI said test, I mean to go on the computer and test the actual speed of your internet and wifi.
