How come my Ipod no longer plays videos?

Hello...About a year ago I downloaded a Kelly Clarkson music video to my 5th generation ipod and it worked fine. I haven't watched it for a while but when I tried to play it today on my ipod nothing happened. (works fine on my itunes music library). Instead of a video on my ipod all I have is a small icon of the Kelly Clarkson album cover artwork (the music plays but no video.) Can someone tell me what might be wrong? I tried going into video settings and tried adjusting but it didn't work. My current video settings are:
TV OUT: "ON"
tv signal: "NTSC" (should it be "PAL" or would that not make a difference?
Widescreen: On
It would be helpfus if someone also explained to me what these settings mean...
Thanks in advance!

TV out should be set to OFF if you want to view the video on the iPod's screen. The icon you see indicates it is playing but the video signal is being outputted from the headphone and dock connector jacks and not being sent to the iPod's LCD screen.

  • IPod no longer plays videos!!!

    I have had this iPod for nearly 3 years and it has decided to stop playing all videos: music videos, movies, tv show, everything. I haven't done anything differently, no new iTunes, no new software. I have tried resetting it but that didn't work. I don't want to do a restore because I will lose all my music, not cool. Please help!

    What exactly happens on the screen when you try to play a video? Do you hear the sound through the headphones? More details please.

  • I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

    I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
    longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
    This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
    Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
    YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
    Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
    Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

  • Why does Safari no longer play video?

    When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

    1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
        Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
    2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
        Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
    3.  Allow  Plug-ins  
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The  requested URL was not found on this server"

    After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The  requested URL was not found on this server".
    Anyone have any ideas?

    You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
    I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
    1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
    2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
    3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
    4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
    5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
    6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
    7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
    8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
    I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

  • My 60GB Ipod used to play videos but no it doesn't??? help!!!!!

    Hi, there
    my ipod used to play videos, i then didnt play one for a while and it now doesnt play them anymore..... it doesnt seem to update them onto my ipod....thanks

    ok now are the videos that are not updating to the ipod the same videos that used to update to it? Or is it new content you have imported to itunes since you last updated the ipod with videos? Also, are these videos itunes purchased or user created content?
    See these articles for information on file formats that will play in itunes and import to the ipod (note: itunes plays more file types than the ipod will load, so just because a video will play in itunes does not mean the file type will update to ipod)
    Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod:

    Can't transfer videos to iPod:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
    Now once you have made sure that your videos are in the correct format and have been converted to play on the ipod, make sure that your ipod preferences are set to automatically update the videos. Or you can try manual mode and drag and drop em onto the ipod.

    Thanks again for you help.  I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes.  Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad.  I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs.   Anyway, long process but it worked.  Thanks again.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?

    Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?  I have to go to each item individually to select it as it no longer goes from one item to the next.

    what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

    My iTunes will no longer play videos/music videos (bought from the iTunes store) since the last update? (Win7 64bit)

    Guys I have the same problem.
    Since I installed iTunes 10.5 I can't play any of my music videos downloaded from the iTunes store.

    Help..... is there a remedy???

  • My ipod won't play video on my tv

    my ipod will not play video on my tv. it tell me tv out enabled please connect video accesory. i have an standard red/white/yellow rca plugged into the earphone jack and it is plugged in properly behind the tv.

    The 4th gen Nano has no video out through the headset jack the way older iPods did.. You need the cable that plugs into the port where your sync cable plugs in. As far as I know, the cable is only available through Apple but I could be out of date on that.
    Best of luck.

  • How come my music will not play without wifi??

    How come my music will not play without wifi??

    It happens when you download from two or more different Apple IDs often. It says you must waut 90 days before you can play it without wifi. So in 90 days, try to download again.
    Good luck!
