Fifth Gen Ipod dosent play movies bought off itunes
I have a video gen i pod and when I play certain movies that I bought off i tunes they don't play.
These movies are from the i tunes store bought through my account and they play fine on the computer using quick time. However when I try and play them on my i pod a black screen appears and I must wait for the i pod to sort itself out. However this is not for all movies, other films bought off i tunes work fine and they play both on the i pod and the computer.
If anyone has any ideas as to how to solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it as to be frank I am some what stumped!
Thanks in advance

QuickTime Player won't play movie bought from iTunes Store.
Finder's Quick Look says that QT Player can play it. QT Player says to first authorize through iTunes. iTunes says that it's already authorized.
I've seen the same problem in various places all over the net but it just started happening to me with 10.8.3. Never had a problem in 10.8.2 or earlier. Any ideas on how to fix?Some information on Quicktime player. The last two links are you other applications you can download to see if they can play the movie:
Video - QuickTime Media Formats
Video - QuickTime Player
Video Player - Divx
Video Player - VLC -

I have a 30 Gig 5th Gen IPOD It plays but there is no sound from the head phones and when its docks can anyone help
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?
I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view. -
How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?
As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
SD 2.5Mbps
720p 6 Mbps
1080p 8 Mbps
Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

Cant play movies downloaded from Itunes
I have 2 issues.1. I can't play movies downloaded from Itunes. It says that format is not supported. What can I do?2. I bought the WDTV three weeks ago. ABC Iview no longer supports WD products as of July 1. Not happy. Can anyone help?
Page 88 in the User Manual Note: The media player does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes® Store, Cinema Now, Movielink ®, Amazon Unbox™, and Vongo® http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705123.pdf You're correct about iView ...

Using movies bought on iTunes for PS3
Hey all. Would really like to know if there's a way to play/save movies bought on iTunes onto a PS3. The file type the movies come in is (.m4v), which isn't playable on PS3s. I have Quicktime pro, yet you aren't able to change its file type ('export') into a compatible one for the PS3. (Probably due to copyright violations..). Just wondering if there's something i've missed.. Something i didn't hear.. Or if i should be asking help from Apple or Sony.. haha.. greatly appreciated, thx!
i was simply stating they can be played if remuxed, or demuxed
Which they can't be when purchased from the iTunes Store.
but only if they are not encrypted by itunes
Which they are, as we said.
can you save the movie and re-rip it with out the encryption?
No.
especially since the new itunes plus allows you to use the movie almost anywhere due to it being drm free now?
iTunes Plus only applies to music and a few videos. Feature films are not available without copy protection and probably won't be anytime in the foreseeable future.
Again, movies purchased from the iTunes Store cannot be played on any non-Apple player, period. -
When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...
I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer
I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
Any suggestions? -

Phone is not recognizing music that wasn't bought off iTunes
My iPhone 6 128 GB will not recognize any songs that were not bought off iTunes, such as mixtapes, and it's starting to really frustrate me. Can somebody tell me why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks!

Help. I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection. It happens only when we are trying to access Movies. Very confused. Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update. Now this problem! Help!
