I have movies converted to mp4 that play on iTunes but don't play on apple tv2, any ideas why?

I've converted many avi files to mp4 using AVIDEMUX. All of them are on iTunes and there I can watch all of them, but when playing them using AppleTV 2, some can't be played and no error is showed on apple tv. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Other than I use Handbrake to convert to Apple TV presets what do I need to provide.

actual details of the file. (bitrate, framerate, resolution etc).
open the file in quicktime and then open the movie inspector. post those results.

  • I have forgotten my password so that I can update the software on my mac...any ideas how I can restore my computer?

    Hi, I seem to have forgotten the password for my mac and need to update the software....any ideas how to do this without losing everything on my computer and without the disks?

    Stick the 10.5 or 10.6 install disk into the computer and reboot holding c key down, under the Utilities menu is a password reset.
    If your on 10.7, hold command r keys and reboot, access Terminal and type
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    So easy to crack a Lion Mac now.

  • JUST TRIED TO UPLOAD FROM I PHOTO TO TESCO'S WEB SITE AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE, WON'T LET ME, ANY IDEA WHY ??

    I  have a macbook pro, in the UK, i have just tried to upload some photos to Tesco web site to get some cushions printed, won't let me, i have been able to do this before today, any ideas why , thanks

    Try again and not if you can view the report before it is sent to Apple. That might have some information to help.
    Also open the Console app (in Utilities folder) and loog for log entries at the time of problem. Copy any and post here
    Additionally, have yo went to Tesco's support site to see if other are having this problem.
    It might be due to a problem with Yosemite interacting with the sites.

  • I have lost Boinx in Video Generator, Fotomagico is installed but can't access the plug-in, any ideas?  Have reinstalled FCE to no avail.

    I think the suggestion by JimHdk is fair simple. Most Internet services providing email offer a way to access email via a browser like Safari instead of using the Mail app. You start Safari, got to the webmail webpage, enter a user name and password and are provided with a list of waiting emails. You can read emails, reply to emails, delete emails and create new emails on those sites. This is a very common way for people who travel a lot and who encounter your problem, to access their emails.
    If you don't know the website for your webmail contact your provider.

  • Can Apple TV 2 stream purchased videos / home movies converted to MP4 and in my iTunes library?

    Okay, so we currently own a 1st Gen ATV and love it, however 99% of it's use is streaming purchased content and/or home movies etc. that I've used visualhub/handbrake to convert and imported into my iTunes library. All in all, once I gave up and surrendered my video content to iTunes and started streaming to my 1st Gen ATV I've grown hooked, I love sorting stuff however I want (I have about 250 movies, entire seasons of X-Files etc. that I've ripped from my own (LEGAL) media and put in iTunes, so when it's sorted properly it's very clean, when it's all alpha, it's a nightmare.
    I've tried a few media servers for the PS3, however they just pile all the movies into one big alpha sorted mess, music isn't sorted by genre, no genius, TV shows are not tagged by watched, won't resume properly etc. Boxee / XBMC are a little better, but then again I run those on my ATV as well, and still Boxee doesn't really seem to sort stuff quite as well or play playlists properly.
    We're getting another TV for our den and have been looking into other media streaming options, what I love about the Apple TV is the way I can sort all our movies, shows etc. by genre, so the kids can just go to the stuff I've tagged as Kids Movies or I can make video playlists for them and mix up some Planet Earth and Dora the Explorer for our babysitter and movies /shows are tagged as watched/unwatched, if you stop one it will ask if you want to resume, etc.
    Looking into the ATV2 it seems like it's just geared for rentals, If that's the case I really am not interested. I like the Netflix option, but then again most newer internet connected TVs do that as well as my PS3, not sure how viable an option the WD TV Live plus or Boxee box is, I'd like to get some newer hardware, but I'm just not sure what route to go.
    Does the ATV2 stream media in iTunes TV Shows/Podcasts/Movies folders? It doesn't sync right? So it it all Airplay now?
    Is my best bet just to get another 1st Gen? Are there any other media servers that are able to sort stuff by played/genre/etc.
    Ug, I'm at a loss! I really love the features of my old Apple TV, and would love to get a new one, but I'm just not sure if it will do everything I'm used to, or if any of the other standalone boxes are better options?
    I know this is a bit of a ramble, hopefully someone can make enough sense out of where I'm going and help me out! Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
    You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
    It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
    Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too.

  • One song won't play in iTunes, but it will play in Quicktime.

    There is a single song in my iTunes library that will not play in iTunes. Any time I try to play it, it brings up the song in the interface as if it's about to play, and then it switches to the next song. When it pops up in shuffle, it immediately skips to the next song. I've checked out everything under "Get Info", and it's all in order. I tried removing the song from my library and then adding it again (the usual "just restart the machine"-esque fix) but to no avail.
    The weird thing is that the track still plays perfectly fine in Quicktime. But my iPod doesn't run on Quicktime, so it never plays on my iPod either.
    Help?

    Okay. perhaps let's try sending a copy of the file though to the Apple Engineers for a look. Here's the email address:
    <[email protected]>
    In the email to Roy, include:
    A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    The username you are using in the thread
    The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    The version of Windows you are using (mention service packs and whether or not you're 32-bit or 64-bit)

  • ITunes music will play on iTunes but will not play in my iPod

    I downloaded music from iTunes. It plays on my computer and shows up on my iPod. However, it will not play. When I attempt to play the iPod says "now playing" skipping all 25 tracks. The music is in the purchased, artist, music, etc. folders.
    Any thoughts?

  • HT2513 after updating to Lion, ical is only working sporatically. sometimes it says that it is "updating", but mostly it doesn't respond. Any ideas?

    After updating to Lion (from snow leopard) my ical is not working - doesn't respond. Occasionally, it will post that it is updating; but mostly it doesn't work = I cannot add events to it. Also I'm not able to change anything on it.
    Any ideas?
    thanks, Melinda

    I can't confirm this, but Lion's new version of Java Runtime distroys Final Cut Server.  So I wouldn't doubt if Lion breaks Apple Scripts, too.

  • I have turned photo stream off and sync i also turned messages off so that i only recieve them through mymobile number yet they are still appearing on my sisters ipod which shares my apple id any ideas why this is

    any ideas

    If you don't want that your sister reads your messages, on your sister's iPod, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and unmark your mail addresses and phone numbers, so she won't be able to read any of your iMessages

  • HT204406 I have 12000 songs in my iTunes match library, but my iPhone only shows 4000.  Any ideas why?

    I recently purchased the iTunes Match subscription, and while I like some aspects of the program, I find that there seems to be problems in getting all my (eligible) songs to show up on my devices.  For example, in my iTunes library, I have listed under "Coldplay" six complete albums.  When I look at my iPhone, it only lists four.  I have roughly 8000 songs that do not show up in the listings on my iPhone.  I am running iTunes 10.7 and have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.
    How do I get my iPhone to recognize these missing songs?  Thanks for your help....

    Have a look at MacMuse's User Tip for an idea on how to eliminate the dead links from your Library.
    Let us know how it works out.

  • HT201263 I followed the steps given by apple so I could restore my iPod Touch, but a message on my computer that mentioned error 3004. I uninstalled and re-downloaded itunes but still the same thing happened. Any ideas how to fix it?

    I've had the iPod for a few months and it worked great. For some reason it went into recovery mode but I have no clue. I've always used the laptop I have with the same wifi. As soon as I plugged by ipod into the computer to recharge the battery it went into recovery mode.
    Side note: I know almost nothing about computers.

    Error 3004
    Resolve communication issues
    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

  • I live in Louisiana. Every search, and website that I vist lists local events or preferences for Chicago. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? It's almost like the internet thinks that I live in Chicago?????

    If I go to google news, it automatically lists local news for Chicago. If I go to any website that lets me look at local events, it pulls events for Chicago. Even Pepsi Refresh project, I clicked a button for "projects near me" and it pulls projects in Chicago. WHY?

  • .wmv's open up iTunes (but don't play)

    Why iTunes? I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 10, but can't find any place to point Safari to the it...

    There is no WMP 10 for the Macintosh. Microsoft has stopped development of the Mac version and the most recent version, last updated in 2003, is WMP 9.
    Flip4Mac is supposed to redirect windows media to Quicktime, not iTunes, although some people, including myself, have had inconsistent results using Flip4Mac for streaming, but it seems to be fine for files on your computer.
    Are these wmv files you downloaded? If so, Control-Click on one and select Get Info. When the Get Info box comes up, choose Windows Media Player in the "Open With" box and then click on "Change All". Close the Get Info box and wmv files should now open in WMP. Do the same to a wma file if needed.
