I can't play video's on my IPOD, but they will play fine on my computer

I downloaded some music videos and some TV episodes to watch on my IPOD. I had no trouble downloading them, and they will play on my computer, but when I try to play them on my IPOD, it doesn't work correctly. It will show a little box up in the top left corner with a frozen shot of the beginning of the movie, and the sound will work, but I can't actually see the movie! This is a recent problem, when I first got my IPOD I didn't have any trouble playing movies on it but now I do. HELP!

hi, I'm sorry I dont actually have an answer for you, but I am trying to post a question and can't figure out how to post in forums. Could you maybe help me? I'm a problem similar to yours and it's driving me crazy.
I'm sorry to bother you. Thanks.

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • I open my videos on my iPad 2, but nothing will play?

    When I open the videos app on my iPad 2, it will have the load symbol, but then the screen will go black and nothing will play? How do I fix it? What's wrong with it, if anything?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I cannot play videos from youtube on firefox but it wont play

    every time i try and play youtube videos on firefox the video box goes white. ive installed flash plug ins and the latest flash player but it still doesnt work

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or
    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie if above does not do it.

    I am having the same issue. I downloaded The 6th Target on 5/10/2007 and it plays fine from iTunes but will not play on my Ipod. When I select the audiobook it returns to the Main Menu. I have downloaded numerous audiobooks and have never had this issue and all of the other audiobooks are still working from my IPod. Any thoughts?

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

    How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

    Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types.  You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer.  When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right.  Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right.  Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad.  I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD.  works very well.  Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store).  Works about the same.
    You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there.  I do that all the time with my iPhone.  Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

  • Videos are on my iPod but I can't watch them anymore.

    I got my iPod for christmas 2005 and have never had any problems with it other than it randomly pausing in the middle of a song, but it doesn't do that anymore. My problem is that I have several movies and tv shows on it that worked fine and I had watched them several times on long trips. A few days ago I hooked up my Ipod to my friend's computer and all of my video files no longer have the little Tv icon next to them in iTunes. They wont play on my iPod, only on the computer. Sometimes when I put my iPod on shuffle it will shuffle to the movies and skip them imediatley. I have watched all these movies on the iPod before but my only guess is the iPod is now recognizing them as songs and not video files. Its kind of making me angry since I spent a while converting all the videos and after I put them on my iPod I delete them off the computer, I don't really want to put them back on. My friend did have a very old version of iTunes when I plugged it in so I figured if I updated his iTunes the little icons would show up next to my movies again, but no such luck. I don't know what to do. I just want to know if there is any way I can fix them so they will play on my iPod again.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
    Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

  • I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

    I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4.  How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.
