Getting Video to Play on My Ipod Classic

Ok...so what am I doing wrong? I have an Ipod Classic and a Mac with ITunes 7.5. I have downloaded some video podcasts on my computer that I subscribe to such as some from the Washington Post. They play perfectly on my computer (video and sound); however, when I play them on my IPod I get a static album cover and only the sound of the programs play---not the video. I did this with several different podcasts. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong as I have previously played video on this IPod. I must confess, I have not used it in while some this may be direct USER ERROR......
Thanks!

  • I bought a HD TV show accidently instead of SD The show will not loador play on my ipod claSSIC. hOW DO i GET THE SHOW TO SYNC AND PLAY ON MY IPOD?

    I bought a HD TV show accidently instead of SD, it will not load or play on my ipod classic. How do i get this reformatted or what to get the show on my ipod?

    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

    I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".  Could you please help?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How to get videos to play on IPOD (what program to use)

    Hello folks,
    Quick question - how do I get just small music clip videos to play on my IPOD? I'm not even sure why I am asking this question since I have exported in "QT" to .mp4 but they are still not uploading.
    I downloaded "VisualHub" and the demo version is only 2minutes of video but I really don't have any more money to purchase any other stuff to get these videos to play so what do u suggest?
    Thanks,
    Joey Dee

    hey CG,
    Thanks for the reply, i did a search for this "Videora" and i found it to be only a windows program and I downloaded the file but it's .exe
    I have been trying to find a MAC version but I don't think its available - is there a way you can link me that file?
    Regards,
    Joey Dee

  • HT1539 Some downloaded movies are in HD and won't play on my iPod Classic.  How can I get the SD version without having to buy another version?

    How can I get the SD version of HD movies that I already own and are downloaded on my computer.  These HD movies won't play on my iPod Classic.

    Just figured out how to get the SD version of HD movies to play on the iPod Classic.  In the iTunes Store, look at the purchased list and down at the bottom where it lists the Total: # Movies, to the right is a checkbox [ ] Download HD When Available.  If you uncheck the box, it allows you to get the SD version of those HD movies from the cloud.

  • Video cannot played on this ipod

    I have a mp4 file I'm trying to drag to my ipod but I'm getting the "cannot played on this ipod" error when I try. My wife has another ipod just like it that I CAN however drag the file to. I have the latest software on the ipod. What could be causing this?

    Ok I just wanted to check because this is NOT the Fifth Generation iPod group, so there was a chance you might have been posting in the correct group for your iPod, which would have been a PRE-video version. So you have the right iPod, just the wrong forum.
    So do you both have the same firmware loaded in your iPods?
    Have you tried a restore on yours to see if it makes any difference?
    Cheers,

  • Dropbox: I cannot get video to play and cannot share pictures with those who do not have Dropbox installed.

    Dropbox: I cannot get video to play and cannot share pictures or video with those who do not have Dropbox installed.
    iMAC
    I am running OSX 10.6.8
    Processor:    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory:      4GB

    To share either select the link (paperclip) icon on the right of the file or folder list.
    Cut and paste the link into an email you send your friends. Do not use the "share this" option in Dropbox as it forces them to join.
    You can test it after deleting your browser cache and cookies - you will no longer be signed in to Dropbox but the link should work fine.
    Hope this helps !

  • Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06

    Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06,please help

    This is usually the result of trying to convert a "muxed" (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) source file. QT Pro, QT-like applications, and those that depend on QT tools all suffer this problem. Use an MPEG based third party application to perform your conversions. Many Windows users are using Videora Converter for this purpose. Do a Videora search in this forum for more information.

    This video was acquired or originated where?
    If from a video camera or a video acquired from a source other than the iTunes source, is the video in an iPhone compatible format?

  • Really need help getting DVDs to play on my ipod

    I have purchased imTOO DVD converter and Quicktime PRO. I can't get Quicktime to even recognize the DVD file and keep getting an error that says "not a movie". imTOO does the conversion but my iPOD has crapped out trying to add the file to my library. Really starting to cheese me off. Has anyone been able to rip a DVD (movie such as lord of the rings) and get it to play on their iPOD? If so, Please tell me how.

  • How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

    How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  iTunes wiped out all my contacts from my iPod classic and now I no longer even show a place for contacts on my computer when I plug in my iPod.

    You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
    When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
    To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
    Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.

  • 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
