Help! Ipod 1.3 won't play video podcasts on Ipod Video

Help! I just upgraded to Ipod version 1.3 on my Ipod 5th generation video Ipod. The upgrade downloaded and loaded fine and the Ipod rebooted and connected to Itunes. Itunes updated some new video podcasts and I got an error message the the videos from "The New Yorker Animated Cartoons." Neither the 3/13/08 or 3/14/08 podcasts would work and gave ther error that the video would not play on my Ipod. I next tried reloading the 3/7/08 video which used to work on my Ipod and it failed as well. I'm afraid that many other podcasts may fail as they get downloaded.
It seems likely that this is a problem with the 1.3 firmware. Can I get some help to get things working?
Thanks

I don't know if this link, from Apple, will solve your problems but at least for now, I am able to see the video in podcasts. The second to the last sentence was what helped me. Good luck. Fujishu
FROM THE APPLE LINK: problem--iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows

If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • Help!  iPod Classic 5th generation  won't play video

    My iPod won't play videos at all. I get a logo screen with TV or Podcast (e.g.) image in the upper left corner & audio will play but no video. Any ideas how to solve this?

    Actually I found the answer!!, It was a matter of of changing my settings (in video) of tv out to off instead of on.
    Thank you anyway!!

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

    Wifi? Cellular? That's not much to go on. More details help. If you think it's your internet contact your provider or carrier.

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

    Is it a Flash issue perhaps?

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:

    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

    I failed to mention that the sound does play on the videos that are not playing.

  • My computer won't play videos..

    My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

    Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

  • 5th Gen iPod Classic won't play video

    I've been having a problem getting my 5th gen. iPod to play video podcasts. I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 and os 10.6.4. For about a month or so now my iPod will play a couple videos and then it just stops playing them. It usually finishes playing but then goes to black screen before the next video starts. If I click the pause button the battery indicator shows up at the top and three podcast titles quickly display and then disappear, and then the screen returns to the menu. From that point it won't play any video podcasts; until I resync the iPod then it will play three of four video and quit again until it's resync'd. Even after it stops playing videos it will still play audio podcasts without interruption.
    I've tried restoring my iPod, but I get the same behavior after the restore.

    I have an 80 classic and i started getting new movies and tv shows and my ipod stoped playing movie files. The time i experienced this was May 22, 2009. I loaded the free episode of the Glee Club offered by itunes. Did you ever find out how to fix that. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

  • My iPod won't play video

    I have installed videos onto my iPod and they won't play. They are in the correct format, I restored my iPod settings and tried it all over again. But all I get when I click on the video file is a black screen, as if it is loading (I imagine) and then after about 5 seconds it goes back to the pervious screen.
    I'm at my wit's end, any help very welcome.

    I'm having the same issue. Tried restoring, doesn't help. Same black screen, then back to the menu. Let me know if you find a solution for this. If I figure something out, I'll post back here again.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

    I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

    - Do they play on the computer?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod classic - won't play video podcasts

    Hi Community!
    I have a shiny new iPod classic 160GB, and I love it ... except for the fact that I can't play video podcasts with it.
    They play fine on iTunes, and my audio podcasts work great, but no video podcasts.
    When I click on one, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then goes back to the menu.
    Please help me!
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have the same problem, but videos i converted to mp4 under the iPod specs..
    I transferred some and all played OK... decided to transfer more vids and now those freshly videos don't play
    They transfer to my iPod classic, i.e no error message.
    Then i browse my ipod try to watch a movie and the same thing as you, black screen and then the menu slides back into place as i have not watched it
    I tried reset center +MENU, tried restoring ipod, now i tried "Create an iPod or iPhone version" and i got this warning
    "One or more videos were not converted because they're on the right format" so the format or encoding is not the problem with my videos
    I will reinstall itunes if that doesn't work i will defrga my hard drive if no then a itunes repiar... i hope something works

  • I purchased an adapter for playing videos from my ipod touch on my tv. It works fine for episodes I have purchased from Itunes, but won't play videos from Hulu Plus. What should I do to remedy the situation? Thank you!

    The iPod TV out only works for aps that support TV out.  The description of Hulu Plus only states that iiPad supports HDMI video out (SD only)
