Video will not play but audio does

I transfered some .mov files from my friends mac and tried playing it on my pc. It plays the audio but not the video on Quicktime. I tried using the VLC player and it says some thing about "icod." I tried many converters but they all failed.

Load one of the videos into QuickTime Player, open the Movie Inspector (from the Window menu), and post the information shown in the Format section. That will provide some important information for diagnosing the issue and suggesting what to do.
Regards.

Video will not play but audio is loud and clear

When in safari I click on play button for movie, the scren goes white, adio plays but screen stays white.

Works fine for me but takes a while to load before you can click Play.
Do you have Flash Player installed?
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference. I need help?

FYI...
There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

Hello. I have AV player hd. When I touch and hold the Quicktime icon that is in a received mail message, a prompt comes up "Open in AVPlayerHD". I click on that and a black screen opens up with the following on it:
1--A red line at the top with a short white slider button on the right hand side. There is a time listed at each end of the red line that says 00:00
2--On the left hand side of the screen, near the middle, there are 4 icons, a colored 'x', a dialogue icon, a circular arrow and an 'i' in a circle.
3--On the right hand side there is a + and a - sign with '1.00x' in the middle of the two.
4--At the bottom of the black screen is a play icon plus forward and fast forward icons.
When I press the play icon it changes to a stop icon.
So, even though I have AV player I cannot play this Quicktime slideshow.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Videos (of any kind) will not play in Safari

Okay, this has been bugging me for about two months now! Videos of any format will not play in Safari. Anything flash (Youtube for example) OR anything Quicktime (mpg, avi, mov, mp4) refuses to even show up when I try to view them. I go to a Youtube page and the whole page loads except for where the video should be...it's just not there at all. Same with Quicktime. If I go to say the HD Trailer for a movie, the three different sizes (480 720 1080) buttons do not even show up (because they are mini Quicktime things)!!
What I have tried to solve this with: I have updated Flash, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, updated Quicktime, have Mac OS X up to date...but nothing works. These files play fine on just plain Quicktime player (ie I downloaded them) or in FIREFOX, but not in Safari.
BTW: I am using Safari 2, not 3. Also, WMVs actually will play sometimes, but not imbedded, only if you click like www.example.com/movie.wmv
Any help? I'm running an Intel Macbook Pro

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

A duplicate DVD made on my iMac will not play on it although the original DVD will play on it and on my TV. Answers?

I made a duplicate of a DVD on my iMac but it will not play on it. The original DVD plays on my iMac. The duplicate will play on my DVD player with my TV. The original DVD is not a copyrighted commercial DVD.

That doesn't create a DVD. It makes a copy of the files on the DVD. All you did was put data files on the disk. A disk must be formatted correctly for a DVD player to recognize it as a DVD.
Use Disk Utility to make an image of the DVD, then burn the image to Disk.
File menu, New>Disk Image from <DVD name>
Set the image format to DVD/CD Master.
Once the image is finished, select it in the Disk Utility Sidebar and click the Burn button.

I bought a song on iTunes, and it is on my iPad, but the song will not play, it skips to the next song. How can I fix this?

I bought a song on iTunes, and it is on my iPad, but the song will not play, it skips to the next song. How can I fix this?

Music>Songs>Select song>Swipe from left to right to delete.

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shuffle but just repeat the 1st song played. Any fix for that? Thanks. HMK

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shufle but keeps repeating the same song first played. Any fix for this? Thanks, HMK

When you get to "Now Playing", tap once on the artwork in order to see the timeline of the playing song. Look on the left side, the repeat one button is probably active.
Tapping once this icon bring the repeat option, tapping again will bring the repeat one option. There you can also tap the shuffle button on the right.

Video will not play, yet audio does.

Like the header says, all of a sudden I go to work on a project I've never had trouble with and the video will not play; it is frozen wherever the cursor is. Yet the audio does play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing premiere cache, gone all over the internet to try and find an answer, of course India is closed right now, so no help there, not that they really give it anyway. So I'm asking if anyone might have experienced this one and figured it out despite Adobe. I'm on a PC with Windows 8 and terabytes and terabytes of storage; plenty of space left on disc, too. As I said; this has never been even a hint of a problem Just started up today. This even beats most Adobe "beta testing" problems they heap on us unsuspecting sheep. So I'm completely flummoxed. A prize to whoever knows what's up with this! It's a new one on me... Thanks in advance to whichever genius knows the answer! :-)
[Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]

OK, I found the answer by myself and wish to share it with those having the same issue. It turns out that the saved workspace can corrupt allowing audio to play, while video remains frozen. The fix is to change the workspace. Go to WINDOW, after creating a new style workspace and save the new workspace. Problem fixed. Also, if there are already a number of other saved workspaces that involve video you can simply change to that one and it will be fixed. Delete the corrupt workspace. That's it! This was discovered through a simple process of elimination which proves that bugs really can surface anywhere for no intuitive reason. Hope this helps you!

Some Songs and Videos on New Itouch Will Not Play

Itouch 3g, 64g, firmware 3.1.2; running Win XP, Itunes v9.0.25; only one computer and one account. All songs and videos purchased from Itunes. Upgraded from an Ipod Classic to the Itouch.
Some songs and all videos will not play on the Itouch (they all work in Itunes and on the Ipod Classic). On the Itouch, hitting play on the songs just toggles between the play icon and the pause icon with nothing happening with the song; other songs work as advertised. Hitting play on the videos results in the message "This movie could not be played."
I have searched the posts and faqs and tried the solutions suggested in the apple support faq: tried resetting, deauthorizing/authorizing, etc. Nothing solves the problem.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
--Steve

I went back and made a list of all the songs that would not play on the PC and Ipod Classic but not the iTouch. I then turned on the "Kind" column in iTunes to compare the list. It appears the songs listed as "Protected AAC" are the ones that are not playing on the iTouch. All songs that are "Purchased AAC" seem to be the ones that work.
All of the videos are "Protected MPEG-4 video file(s)" and none work on the iTouch.
As noted earlier, all songs and videos work on the PC and the Ipod Classic.
Is this a DRM issue? If so, is there a legitimate fix available?

Taking a long time to load a YouTube video and then it will not play

Trying to watch youtube videos and connection from news source. It has been taking along time to load and then will not play... Do I have a setting off any ideas? This has not been the case until recently

Try to restart using your installer disk, by inserting your installer disk and restart while pressing C.
And after it reboot using installer disk and you select the installer language, got o utilities and repair permission and disk.
Also try to reset your PRAM and SMC:

IF the problem still presist, you might have to re-install your OS X.
Good Luck.
