Getting videos to play from beginning, everytime?
Hello all,
I have a bunch of music videos on my Ipod classic, 160G and one of the most annoying things about it is that it plays videos from where i left off. I want the music video to play from the beginning every single time i get to it. I put my ipod in a dock so i am away from it and it is really annoying when i get to listen to the last third of a song. Is that possible to get the classic to do this? If not, then what is apple thinking? When can i expect to have this feature, if ever?
In iTunes, select the individual video and click on *File/Get Info/Options* and uncheck the box marked *Remember playback position* .
If you select several videos at once and click on *File/Get Info* , there will be a drop-down menu at the bottom of the *Multiple Item Information* dialogue that is called *Remember Position* . Change the setting to No (and a tick will appear in the box beside it).
Both these methods will give you what you want. You will probably find that whoever created the video chose to remember playback position, not Apple. Don't forget, if you are watching a long video or listening to an audio Podcast, the remember playback position can be very useful.

Can't get videos to play from offline
Hey,
Every time I try to play Camtasia videos that I've downloaded
to my files, I get a message saying I need to enable JavaScript (it
is) and download the latest version of FlashPlayer (I have, roughly
a thousand times). I'm on XP, my browser is Firefox, and the videos
play fine if I play them from the person's website. Can anyone tell
me what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks--Kaylee
PS-I'm also asking about this at the Camtasia forum; figured
I might as well cover all the basesHello to you both and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As you may or may not know there are some sites out there that choose to not consider Macs when they design their sites. This does lead to some problems for us Mac users from time to time...
What you both need to have is the latest Safari, Quicktime, and Flip4Mac installed. And Dan if you like you can use WinMedia because your machine is not Intel. On SI I am able to play videos...actually it's just CNN so it "should" work for you? But I'm not running Panther. Usually on CNN and on SI it was the same it told me I need to update but I declined and continued using Flip4Mac plugin and it was fine. CNN videos are not Quicktime compatible so that won't help you in this case. With NBA.com it seems their player is proprietary and I was not able to play it on Safari. However on Firefox/Camino it was ok. This might be a case you need to use another browser as I'm not sure of any specific fix for this? But the SI is strange...do you have the box for using Flip4Mac plugin checked in your System Prefs?
As for BBC you probably need Flip4Mac...do you have it installed? Quicktime will play everything compatible but it will not play Windows Media format. For that you will need Flip4Mac...
Let me know if this helps at all?

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.

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video? How can I fix this?
Baffled in SBWhat format of MPG is this? Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video? How was the video created?

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks
Hi, Daryl -
If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts. -
Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
ThanksSame problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you -

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? -

How do I prevent the playhead from returning to it's original position after pausing or stopping with the spacebar or k button? With either the skimmer on or off, whenever I pause or stop the **** playhead will always return to the position it was last at. I don't understand why neither of the shortcuts would just stop the playhead at the point that is being played at. This may seem like an extremely edgy way to go about editing, but I might actually wish to pause the playhead at any given moment and position my playhead nearby said moment before creating an edit point (without having to add a marker and return to it with the blade tool, or take note of the specific duration and use the duration control to go to that specific point or any other unnecessary steps when doing a rough cut). I simply would like the playhead to pause/stop at the moment I press either keyboard shortcut. After the many attempts at trying to make FCP X work for me and the many "workarounds" by FCPX enthusiasts, it's disheartening to know that most other editors in my circle who make a living doing paid commercial work are wondering why I've decided to take a break from using CS6 (and it's integration with the industry-standard AE) to give FCP X a shot, all to make very simple tasks like the one aforementioned a mystery... any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your response Luis and for your previous help (regarding multiple selections being added to the timeline in reverse order when working in list view in the event browser).
Yes i've trashed my preferences, but I should be more specific as to what I am actually doing. Because I am working from my macbook pro and do not have a "home button" which was the original shortcut to "play from/go to beginning" and because I did not like the replacement shortcut in FCP X to play from beginning (without a home button it was something like Function + Shift something else on a laptop) I became used to Adobe Premiere CS6 and made the return key my "play from beginning" shortcut. It was available and did not have a use by itself (only to confirm changes/choices), did not effect it's use in conjunction with other shorctus so I choose enter as my "play from/go to beginning"...
So when I play from the beginning and attempt to pause or stop the playhead, regardless of how I choose to do it (spacebar or k) it does not stop at that specific instance and always returns to where it previously was. This seems very confusing and inconvenient, I would hope at least one of these shortcuts would actually stop the playhead where it was at that moment where I press stop or pause. It's extremely frustrating knowing that I cannot pause the playhead where it's playing if I choose my "play from beginning" shortcut.
Also since you seem to be a guru and an expert, i'd like to know if you cut with FCPX on a laptop and what shortcut you use whenever you'd like the playhead to go to the beginning of the timeline, end, etc since there are no "home" or "end" buttons on a laptop....
Thanks a million, talk soon...

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: 4GBTo 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.

As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
The problem still persists. What am I missing here?This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function). -
