IPad 1 (Original) Videos won't load or open

I have the first iPad and have several movies/TV shows in the Videos app/icon.  All of a sudden, when I select the Videos icon the screen will not go to the listing of my movies and TV shows, it will go to a blank, black screen.  No amount of tapping on the screen will bring forward anything to select, scroll through, or play.  The only option available to me seems to be to hit the home button on the bottom of my iPad which exits out to go to my main screen of apps.  This happened quite suddenly, I was playing a TV episode, paused it, came back a few hours later and it wouldn't played again.
I have tried turning the iPad on and off, restarting the iPad (home and power button at the same time), and syncing my iPad.  Nothing seems to solve the issue with being able to see the videos on my iPad, let alone play them.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Using Captivate 5 videos won't load

    I am publishing to the Flash format using Captivate 5.5. I've tried publishing with and without the skin, and either way, the videos won't load when I try to open them with a link to the website where they are posted. They do open if I double-click on the htm in a network file folder.  I do not have this problem with older Captivate videos I created with Captivate 3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why they won't open?

    I found the answer to why my movie wouldn't play after publising.
    Some smart user named nsukumar stated that if you used text animations it causes problems.
    Sure enough, when I removed the text animation the finished results worked perfectly!
    Thank you nsukumar where ever you are!

  • Streaming video won't load on two Thinkpads

    Problem: Streaming video from two websites won't load on my T60 or X60; of the 5 computers I use daily, only my two TPads are affected. Having tried to troubleshoot this at several levels - I'm wondering whether there is something about ThinkPad proprietary software that could be the cause?
    The two sites in question are Flash based: the New York Times,  and bloggingheadstv.com/diavlogs/. Flashplayer 10 is installed properly on both machines (and has been uninstalled / reinstalled in attempt to solve the problem).
    OS: Windows XP, SP2. Browser: Firefox, latest build (video won't load on IE6 or Safari either on these machines);
    Internet Security Suite: Eset NOD32 (turning off firewall temporarily makes no difference);
    Relevant add-ons: NoScript, Adblock. (Disabling them temporarily makes no difference).
    Troubleshooting thus far: working with NoScript board on Mozilla, and the bloggingheads people at their site - no results.

    I have almost same problem in which I posted a thread about, and didn't get any answers. My videos show up in my library but won't transfer to my iPod. I get an error message saying: The iPod "Owner's Name iPod" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. Also another one about the disc cannot be read from or written to. I only have 3 videos so I'm not too concerned because I can do without them but it's still a hassle. I am going to keep iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2 for now because that seems to be my only problem at the moment, instead of reverting back to previous versions.

  • Video won't load on iPod

    Just upgraded to 7 with the iPod Updater as well. Now videos won't load on my iPod because they're "not the right format". I'm in desperate need to get these back on since I show clients videos on my iPod. HELP!!
    What I've already done is uninstalled iTunes 7 and the Library stems. Reset my iPod. Installed iTunes 6.x. Tried running the previous iPod Updater to no avail. Re-installed 7. Tried, again, re-installing previous iPod Updater to no avail even after trashing the newest updater.
    I've been searching the forums for help, but nothing hits on this in particular. What else can I do??? Thanks for your help...

  • Certain Youtube Videos won't load anywhere.

    Hello everyone.
    Since a few days (I guess) I've encountered major problems with Youtube. Certain Videos won't load in Firefox. They just won't - they stay at the 0:00 mark and never move. I can see the first frame and I can even scroll through the frames, but it will never play. That isn't the case for every Youtube video, though. Most of them work fine, but a few of them have this problem. And the number of videos having this problem is raising fast. Even videos I could watch perfectly fine before simply won't work anymore.
    And really - I am at my wit's end. I've tried every fix known to man (as far as I know). Cleared cache, cleared cookies, updated Flash, Firefox and every other program or plugin I know of, updated drivers, un- and reinstalled both Flash and Firefox completely, changing Flash's settings - but nothing works. These particular videos just never want to move.
    And the funny thing is: It's is not even just a Firefox problem. It doesn't work on any other browser of mine. It doesn't even work on my other two computers. Not even on my Smartphone!! Once a video encountered this problem it is GONE FOREVER. I have no possibility to watch it anywhere. But it can't be the video. Because ~120.000 people have already watched it without having any problems.
    Yeah, so why am I asking this in the Firefox forum? It's because Firefox was the browser which started it all and if Youtube would just work for Firefox - I'd be fine with that.
    So if anybody can help me with this I'd be very, very grateful!

    After re-installing the software, did you perform a "hard reboot" on the machine? It could be that although you installed the updated version of Adobe flash player, the computer may not recognize the updated software until a cold reboot has been performed. Here is a link to a website I went to find this information:
    [[Can't play Online Videos--Here's what to do|http://www.compukiss.com/videos/cant-play-online-videos-heres-what-to-do.html]]
    Here is Adobe's website if you want to check to see if your adobe's Flash Player is updated:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Performing a cold reboot on your machine will reset the adapters and clear out the memory which will also enable the PC to recognize the new software installed. To perform a cold reboot on your machine:
    1.) Go to the "Start Button" and press ''Shut Down."
    2.) If you have a desktop, unplug the power cord and leave off for 10 seconds. If you have a laptop, remove power supply and battery for 10 seconds. (I leave mine off for at least 20 to 40 seconds myself.)
    3.) Re-install the battery(laptop) and plug in the power cord.
    4.) Boot the machine on.
    Here are the links I used for this information:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102228
    http://www.ehow.com/how_2292987_cold-boot-computer.html
    If this method doesn't work, then I would recommend going to your manufacturer's website and see if they can't help you resolve this issue with your videos not playing on your computer.

  • Since Thunderbird attempted to load the newest version, nothing loads. Video won't load, pages take forever. How do I fix this?

    A pop up asked if I wanted to install the latest version of Thunderbird. I clicked yes, and nothing has worked since. Videos won't load, sites take forever to load if they do at all. I clicked on Thunderbird 'about' and it showed it was attempting to load verision 12.1. My last version was 3.1. I deleted the Thunderbird application and installed a 3.1 version I had backed up. Everything is still not working right.
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks Zenos. I have an iMac OS10.6.8 When Thunderbird was installing the latest version is when this problem started. And the problem IS with my browser. I realized the problem started when I said 'yes' to installing the latest version. When I checked preferences I noticed Thunderbird was attempting to load version 12.1 It had been running for days and only 159 kbs had loaded . I didn't know how to stop it, so I just trashed the Thunderbird app, but that didn't help. I'm not very techy to say the least, but it seems like there might still be something running in the background that is slowing up everything else on my computer. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Videos won't load !

    Hey all , I have a 2008 Macbook air and for some reason video just won't load anymore . This was originally my mom's , and when we wiped it and installed mavericks again everything started going slow. It's only 2gb ram , so I know that's a factor. Netflix , and YouTube hardly work , but they worked before. Could this be because of the fresh install ? Does anyone else with an older version have these issues ?

    2gb of ram
    1.6 ghz intel core duo processor

  • Memory leak? Firefox won't load pages/open.

    Ok, I believe there is a memory leak. I am surfing ok then a page wont load. I go to taskmgr and I show that one firefox has 104,990 K of memory. The rest have at most 3,000K. After the page won't load I close Firefox. It won't open. I have to turn on PC and unplug to get it to open again.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • Video won't load

    Went to support and searched iPhoto: transfering photos from camera.
    Brings up a video with click to play button.
    Click: button changes to play again. Video won't start.
    If I do the same with Firefox it works fune.
    Copied URL.
    Paste into real player -- gets play again, but imediately starts video.
    Paste into Quicktime - tries to load, won't start.
    I have Flip4Mac, but that doesn't seem to help here.
    Is there an exrension I need to change in Safari?
    Is there a video player I need to get?
    Ideas?

  • Ipad air safari won't load webpages

    My ipad air won't load some webpages.  Seems to happen most when I want a random piece of info and enter it into the search box.  Sometimes will bring up google page, but will not load my selection.
    I have followed all the suggestions I can find:
    Reboot
    Clear cookies and history
    Hold down sleep/home button
    resetting all
    rebooting router
    I have an iphone 4 which will load pages that ipad air will not using same router
    I purchased Netgear router from Costco last August, so it should be up to date
    I have satellite internet which is sometimes very slow, but samsung tab works, Hp netbook works and iphone works
    I sit in the same chair with all devices!
    I appreciate any suggestions.  I am not a "techie", so I am hoping for simple words.  I don't know, for instance, if DNS server even applies to me with the satellite service
    The nearest apple store is 125 miles away, but I will go there if that is the only recourse.  I purchased the Apple care with my device, which I have had about two months.  I didn't immediately realize I had a problem.

    Power Cycle
    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
