Can only get audio when trying to AirPlay from Dish app

Since updating to IOS 6 I only get audio when air playing from my Dish Network app on my iPad. I can get audio and video when mirroring; however the quality is horrible and it doesn't fill my screen. I was able to get audio and video both before updating my iPad and Apple TV. The recent updates have been a disaster!!
Apple TV and AirPlay were great products before. I thought updates are supposed to make Apple products better....not worse. Please help if there is a solution

Usually these types of limitations are added by the app developer, especially with media apps like these. However I would first try Resetting the devices. I found the best way to reset the iPad is to close all apps in the recently used app list. Double tap the Home button to reveal the list at the bottom then tap and hold one icon till they wiggle and display a minus button. Tap the to close all apps them press the Home button to get back to the home screen. Hold the Sleep button till "Slide to power off" appears. Once it has shut down completely press the Sleep button till you see the Apple icon.
The procedure is similar to resarting your computer when it starts acting flaky. iPads are just a hand head computer and rarely gets shut down or reset so it would be similar to running your computer for months at a time without shutting it down.

XP hangs when I try to play a .mov file

Windows XP consistently hangs when I try to play a .mov file using QuickTime 7.4.1. There is no way to regain control of the system without powering off the computer. I've seen a number of postings indicating that people who have RAID disk systems are having similar problems, but I have an ordinary EIDE drive. Also, my .mov files are typically small (less than 40 MB). Device manager shows that all devices are working, and I've made sure that I have the latest graphics and sound drivers installed. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

FCP Video files burn to DVD, Only gets audio when played

Hi,
I know this has been asked many times, but, it's late at night and I'm looking for a quick answer please.
I burnt ideo clips,which I have exported thru FCP, and burn them straight onto a DVD thru the Finder.
The person who got the DVD said he only gets audio from the clips, so, he can't see them.
Have many ideas of what I should do, but, what is the most common solution to this problem?

#48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD or HDV or ProRes on my computer.
Shane's Stock Answer #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.
The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.
If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forWindows.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac
If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QDVCProHD.asp
HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:

If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:
http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/p2-hd/downloads-and-updates.asp
Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

I get the message "adobe flash plug in has crashed" when I try to play a sample file from audible.co.uk

I am running windows vista for business (32 bit), using firefox, when I try to play a sample from audible.co.uk the browser hangs and then I get the message, "adobe flash plug in has crashed". I have tried uninstalling the flash player and reinstalling to no avail. It also crashes using Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

I have no audio when I try to play u-tube videos sent to me on Facebook. How do I get audio back on?

U tube videos have no sound when sent to me through Facebook. They are find when I bring them up from their own app. What gives?

Videos on Facebook play without audio by default. There should be a button to tap near the video controller that turns on the audio.

Sharing to quicktime then only get audio when on a PC (Windows)

I shared my iMovie as a quicktme format. It plays normally on my mac, but not on a PC

'quicktime' is no format, aka codec..
audio-only implies, you're choice was h264, which needs QT vers. 7 to offer video too ... check the version on the Windows machine ..

I only get audio when i render a clip In fianl cut

Is it possible that a video mp4 need sto be converted to another format?
also is'nt there a way to view your clips on the time line without rendering???

Yes, convert the clip to either DV or Apple Intermediate Codec.
Make sure the converted clips match the properties on an FCE Easy Setup.
We would need to know the properties of the existing clips to advise further.

Adobe Audiotion CS6, why won't it preview my audio when i try to play my sequence back?

So, before, my audition worked fine but when trying to edit my current audio project, I am unable to play the sequence back so that I can make changes to my audio efectively. My audio is at 48,000 and so is my video. Me needs help now!

Will it play back at all? If it won't, then check that your audio hardware is still connected correctly in Preferences>Audio hardware. If this gets disconnected, the transport won't work at all.

ITunes closes when I try to play any video file.

I purchased a movie in the iTunes store. Now when I am in iTunes all the audio files work fine (music, podcasts, etc) but any video file takes me to a black screen and a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working". I tried opening the files in Quicktime media player but received an "unknown error". I was able to to download the movie from the cloud and play it with no problems.
Originally this happened whenever I opened iTunes but after reinstalling it the issue was limited to videos.
I have reset proxy settings in case it was an issue with the iTunes store
I have tried various playback resolutions
I am using windows 8 on an Acer Aspire V3
16 GB RAM and 1 TB HDD
I have update iTunes and Quicktime.

Hello, jonahrnhrt.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that iTunes quits unexpectedly. Here is the troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this specific issue.

Thanks for the reply with additional details.
In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
Minimum information..
Video Compression
Audio Compression
File Extension
Frame Size
First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
Premiere Elements 13 project.)
We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
Thank you.

When I import .avi files I only get audio, no video!

When I add .avi files recorded with my Flip Video camera to the clip gallery and view, I only get audio, no video. The same happens when I try to play the clip with Quicktime. Help!

Update to first post.
The Flip Video camcorder records or "captures" video in MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format, saved as an AVI file.
MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format = usually DivX
1.) With Mpeg streamclip you should be able to convert your AVI(Divx) files to a DV format for iMovie. To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free Divx Pro codecs on your system.
MPEG Streamclip 1.8
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
DivX Pro Codec 6.6 (6-month trial)
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
2.) Visual Hub $24 should be able to convert WMV and AVI (compressed with the DivX Codec)to a DV format for iMovie.
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
3.) With Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro $29 you can convert your WMV files for iMovie.
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm
4.) With Perian 0.5 and Quicktime Pro $30 you should be able to convert your AVI/DivX files to a DV format for iMovie.
http://perian.org/
I hope one of these solutions work for you.

Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.
