How To Play Music & Videos In Stereo?

I have a new iPad Retina 64GB and have loaded it with many apps and music. I'm using iTunes Match so all of my music is in iCloud and is recognized by all my devices just fine. The problem I have was discovered last night when I needed to listen to some music cuts with headphones (the first time using them with my iPad - the headphones work perfect with my older iPod Touch (1st Generation), as well as my Macbook Pro Retina). When I listened to a known STEREO song, there is no stereo -- only monophonic sound with this new iPad!!!
I used the same headphones plugged into my Macbook Pro and listened to the same song (via iCloud) and it is plays just fine -- IN FULL STEREO!
Any ideas on what is wrong - bad iPad, bad stereo plug on iPad, wrong setting in iPad, or whatever could solve this simple problem?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest an experiment to eliminate one possible cause:
Like you, I use iTunes Match and appreciate its capabilities. But I recommend turning iTunes Match off (only) on your iPad, and then doing a sync with iTunes on your computer that hopefully has all your music on it. That would force the music to be explicitly loaded onto your iPad, and then see if the stereo appears. I predict it will.
Good luck.

Trying to figure out how to play music videos continuously

How to play music videos back to back on the ipad

I created a playlist of music videos on iTunes and synced to my iPad. The videos show up on my Video App (each video separate) and on the Music App (as a playlist) If I try to play the list from the Music App all I get is Audio. If I go to the Video App I can only play one at a time after selecting it from my collection. Am I missing something?
All my videos play very nicely back to back on my Apple TV, I can even shuffle them!!! I just can do the same thing on my iPad.

Thanks for the answer. That royally *****! I wish I would have know this before I went and bought upwards of 40 videos...

How to play music / video on ipad stored on NAS?

Hi All,
I have a new i-pad and also an apple TV. All my audio-video files are stored on a NAS. I want to access the files directly from i-Pad, without any intervention from my PC? Is there any way to do this?

I have Maverick and this approach does NOT work. Mu music videos (loaded via my Mac) are in the Video app but I can neither make a playlist with them nor delete them. In General, etc the IPAD displays music (as a group - not individually), photos (ditto) and individual apps. Still stuck with the same problem.
These problems are really no-brainers. Apple should maintain a database with easy, clear, instructions for doing such obvious tasks as deleteing videos for each version. That does not seem like a hard task. You select your OS, device and click "Delete video". Much better than all these random suggestions that are not OS dependent.

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

New update how to play music on apple tv

I just updated my iPhone 4 and now can't figure out how to play music or videos on my apple tv

iPhone 4 can AirPlay audio just fine, I'd forgotten that it can't do screen mirroring. It's been so long since I had my iPhone 4 but I'm certain that some apps will allow video output over AirPlay (which is not the same as screen mirroring). The stock iOS Photo and Video apps could stream pictures and video to ATV, but true mirroring of everything you see on the screen is not supported on iPhone 4. It isn't iOS 7 that took away this capability, it is a capability that has always been limited with iPhone 4 (and earlier).
If you are sure that your old 3G can output video over AirPlay, which specific apps? Those same apps should work on the iPhone 4, even with iOS 7.

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out. I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from m

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.
I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network. So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple. The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router? However its not connecting?? I am doing something wrong?
Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

I can't play music videos bought from iTunes

So I bought 3 videos from that triple play, 2 for 1 sale on itunes. I loaded all three videos unto my iphone via playlist because for some reason, they wouldn't sync even though the check mark for music videos is on. Anyway, so I transferred them over, but the videos don't play. It only plays sound, but no video. Am I missing something here? I thought I was able to play music videos on the iphone? That's the only reason why I bought those videos, I don't even have an actual video ipod...the only other ipod I have is my super old 3rd gen...any suggestions on how to get this working?

in iPod, what option are you selecting to play the music videos?
You should select Video. If you view by artist or playlist, then only the music will play.

Itunes no longer plays music videos on iMac 27inch

When I click on a music video to play the music plays but the video does not. This never used to be the case. Has anybody seen this happen. TV programmes and normal movies play fine..
I found the answer minutes after posting the question ! Seems you cannot have a remote set of speakers selected when playing music videos. Somebody had already answered previously

How to play music through my external hard drive through iTunes on my mac?

I recently purchased a external hard drive for my mac for my movies and music, as my disc was almost full.
I have spent HOURS searching how to play music through my itunes without transferring them onto the mac.
BUT everytime I click media destination folder in prefrences and advance, the whole music library in my external hard drive folder is greyed out, and when i click it nothing happens.
PLEASE someone help...

First, a brand new drive is likely formatted for use with Windows. You need to reformat it for use with Mac.
Pondini: Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
Second, you are better off moving the whole iTunes library to the external drive, not just the media.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update.

Dear Apple, I doubt you'll read this or do anything but I guess it's worth a try. It used to be that when you played a music video via the musof app on your iphone, it would display the video in landscape mode. Now, extermely inituitively, turning your phone to the side shows a selection of your album covers. No one wants that. I seriously can not think of one person. Looking in your own forums you have questions in 2013 asking to bring this back but no response has been given. That's called arrogance. This is not some big technical ask. It would take you little to no time so what gives? You say you care about the customer experience but between this and the iTunes library syncing issues I am beginning to question that.
You're correct as there is no Apple here in this user to user technical forum.
