IPad video failing to appear

I recently put about 12 full movies on my iPad. Some were digital copies from purchased DVDs and some were created using Clone DVD. I went on vacation and all of them played perfectly.
When I came back I synced my iPad and all the videos disappeared. I selected the option on the Movies tab to "Sync Movies" and "Automatically Include All Movies" and immediately transferred all movies back to my iPad. Now when I go to the Videos app on my iPad the videos do not show up. They show up in iTunes as being physically on the iPad. When I look at the "About" section in General settings, I see 17 total videos (some extra kids tv shows were downloaded) and the total video space used is 20.41 GB.
From everything I can tell the videos are physically on the iPad, but they will not show up even though they were there and played perfectly before. HELP! Where the heck are my videos? And why won't they show up?
Thank You.

Well what I figured out that worked for me is this:
1) Uncheck sync music, movies, tv shows ( I don't have any podcasts or books synced to my iPad so I can't be sure if these have to be unchecked.)
2) Hit apply and let it sync removing all library files.
3) Recheck music, movies and tv shows. (Again no podcasts or books to check.)
4) Let it sync ALL my content again.
5) Tada I have all my content again.
I would assume plugging it in and having it start a sync again would again mess it up. I don't know exactly how the ipad stores its library files but if its anything like iTunes. Perhaps the file is being corrupted/mislabeled? I'm not sure. But this worked for me.
This will be a huge pain in the rear if we are going to have to do this every single time we want to add a file/remove a file/update and sync anything on the iPad. It took nearly two hours to complete the resync as I have the audio set to convert to a smaller bit rate.
Oh well hope this helps someone at apple fix the issue.

Ipad randomly failing to show videos inside webpages

I just updated my ipad to the new OS 4.2.1, and since then some vimeo videos embedded in webpages are failing to appear.
I was able to strem them untill one hour ago when i upgraded, now the ipad randomly fails showing some of those.
This webpage is an example:
www.frame.it/page/Portfolio/op/view/id/175/LogoRai1
This videos still work on ipads with the old OS, so is not an encoding issue.
On the new OS, the player mask is actually generated, but remains transparent.

Hi Michael,
of course is supposed to play those and sometimes plays fine on my ipad too.
I will try explaining myself a bit better:
There are 5 or 6 videos on this page.
The ipad randomly fails to show some of these, sometimes it shows 4 sometimes 2.
And i mean it fails "to show the video box in the page". If you see the play button and the background image it will work fine, but you will notice some blank spaces beetween one video and another, those are not loaded videos.
The mask just remains transparent.
Yes, I see the same behavior with 4.2.1. It's probably a Safari bug. If you haven't already done so report it at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I couldn't find a work-around for it. The bug is probably in common rending code since it also appears in the iCab browser as well.

IMovie photos fail to appear in the video?

Why do some photos turn to black when inserted into the project? They fail to appear in the video. Instead, the ones before them replay.

I should add, it was copied in mass storage mode. Maybe I used MTP before.

HT1391 I purchased 3 new tv episodes on iTunes and downloaded them on my iPad, from iCloud. They don't appear on my iPad Videos app and I've tried downloading them several times. Where are they?

I purchased 3 new tv episodes on iTunes and downloaded them on my iPad, from iCloud. They don't appear on my iPad Videos app and I've tried downloading them several times. Where are they?

The question is not only how to to hide them, but also how to mark them as watched!

Where are my videos? Ipad videos not saving after long recording time.

I have been trying to set my ipad up as a surveillance camera to observe animal activity at night at my zoo. However, after letting the video app record for an hour or more, it shows that I have used storage space, but the video is not in my photos/videos folder. I am using the light boost app, and it appears to be recording properly. I have successfully recorded videos 10 mins in length, but if I let it run for a long period of time, the videos do not appear.
Is there a limitation on the recording length? Why would it show the app has used up all my memory when the videos are not being saved? Or are they being saved in some mysterious place?
Additionally, does anyone know of a better way to do this? I have a very limited budget, and am trying to avoid buying expensive surveillance equipment or video cameras.
Thanks

According to Light Boost the videos are being stored in the Photos - Camera Roll to which you must give access permission see Settings > Privacy. Permission to use the microphone is also necessary.

IPad Video app not sorting correctly

All,
Long time reader, first time poster - but I cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue, I fail to see how this issue could go unresolved for as long as I have had it;
The iPad video App when streaming from a home shared iTunes account does not sort TV shows as per the TV Show / Season / Episode attributes in the metadata. Is there a fix for this other than re-entering the metadata to the Artist attribute - I have a moderately sized library and this would consume my attention for far too long, not to mention its double handling!!!
Surely the introduction of a sort function on iOS devices and Apple TV is not too much to expect.
Thanks
PGEELONG

Actually there is a fix, that I found from another thread. Plug in yor device to the computer as it's faster. Un synch all your music from the iPad, which will remove it from the Pad. When that's done, turn the music synch back on, putting your tunes back on the device.
The music library is corrupted and this will fix that. A regular synch will not work.

"Video Failed to Process" on you tube

I have no trouble uploading videos directly from my ipad to youtube. However, when I transfer the same videos to iPhoto on my imac first, then try to upload to youtube, I get the error, " Video failed to process." Any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:)
Dorothy

Before you run off and buy an new computer (or perhaps on your way out the door), fire off emails to the people who run YouTube and Vimeo and tell them to offer alternatives to Flash.
Wait a minute, YouTube already does, but it's a hack...
Go find a copy of ClickToFlash, which is a plug-in for Safari. Its primary use is to prevent Flash from loading and bogging down your machine when it is used as mere worthless eye candy (or advertising), but to still give you an option to load and run the Flash elements when you want to or need to. Another feature of ClickToFlash is that it will automatically rewrite YouTube page requests to load the H.264 version for playback in QuickTime Player instead of in Flash. I've found that the H.264 stuff plays a lot better than the Flash does on my G4 hardware.
The bottom line is, Flash <unbroadcastable verb>.

IPad videos to TV problem

Hi all. I've purchased an Apple component AV cable in order to watch iPad videos through my TV. After connecting I get "video is appearing on TV" message on the iPad screen but no sound or image appears on the television. I should point out that while the TV isn't a new flatscreen type, it does have the option to connect component and composite. (component is usually what I watch my DVDs through). I'd appreciate some advice on what I'm doing wrong. If it helps the cable part number is MB128ZA/B. Thank you

if you made sure you selected the component as active input source
then I would troubleshoot by trying a friends tv to verify it's not a problem with your setup

My pics and videos do not appear in the video browser?

my pics and videos do not appear in the video browser? How do I get it back. I may have denied IMovie access to my pics and videos when opening the app for the first time.

I have the same issue (iPad 3, iOS 6). I have tried to:
-erase all projects on the iMovie
-reset the iPad
-uninstall iMovie and reinstall it
None of these three things worked and I am at lost in terms of what else can be done.
All that happens when I start a new project is that under "videos" there is a big black box (empty videos). Same thing for pictures. When I press the camera button to insert a video from the camera, this works no problem. However, I used to be able to insert videos/pictures from my Camera Roll.

Iphone/ipad video glitches after upload thru iphoto/image capture...suggestions??

iphone/ipad video glitches after upload thru iphoto/image capture...suggestions??

If the problem only appears with iPhoto then it may be due to a bad pref file for iPhoto. It could also be caused by a bad cache or log file.
There are additional ImageCapture preference files located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Be sure to remove them also. Also remove the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/ folder.
There are two ImageCapture cache files located in the /Library/Caches/ folder. Drag them to the Trash but do not delete them as yet.
Now restart the computer and see what happens.

Why did this mini-video fail to go viral?

Why did this mini-video fail to go viral?
I created this short motion graphics project in AE and PR Pro for my hearing protection client in Switzerland for their "Sleep Plugs" product. She asked for a European look and feel, where tasteful nudity is common in advertising. Our target demographic is males, aged 18-35. The client posted it at her Zurich-based company’s website and hoped it would spread virally. We believed there was actually a good chance of that happening since we have three main elements of a viral video: sexiness, surprise, and humor. However, the number of views was much lower than we had hoped.
Please watch the video (it's just 30 seconds) before reading my comments and questions below so that I don't influence your first impression.
https://vimeo.com/63794871

Please give me your thoughts on these questions:
1. It was my intention to set the viewer up to expect that the couple was going to have sex, then to provide some unexpected humor when she goes to sleep and snores instead. Did you think that was funny?
2. In an ideal world, this would have been live video, but, for budget constraints, and since there would've been very little movement in a video anyway, we went for a graphic approach, basically a pan across a wide, horizontal photo, with music bed and voiceovers, and logo/tagline at the end. Do you think this was an acceptable compromise?
3. With the outtake-style photos at the end, It was my intention to add a touch of silliness and show that we are not taking ourselves too seriously. Do you think that worked?
4. What do you think of the voiceovers?
5. What do you think of the choice of music? (I wish we could have had Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"! altho, not sure how big that is with 18-35 year old males in Switzerland.)
6. These next two may be the most important questions: the context the video was presented in. My intention was to have the viewer sucked in by the sexy partial image and want to know more, thinking "What is this? . . . a joke? . . . porn?!?" (remember, they are 18-35 yr old males!) and watch it long enough to get to the joke and the appearance of the product. (I know I have watched several videos that turned out to be ads, but they were so entertaining and well done, I did not mind. In fact, I admired how they sucked me in!)
My client posted the link to the video on her company Facebook page, with the comment "Check out our new video." The link led to her company's official website and the video appeared on a page surrounded by other text, photos, and the company's name. It is my opinion that this took away some of the incentive to watch the video, since now the viewer already knows it is going to be an advertisement. Would you agree?
7. I feel the video should've been presented "in a vacuum", so the viewer would have no fore-knowledge of what it was or why their buddy forwarded it to them. I think links to most viral videos lead to YouTube or Vimeo (not to a company website.) What do you think would be the best method of distribution for this little video?
And, if you have any other thoughts, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Hi Carol,
I have to agree with Jim. A still image screams 'cheap'. If I didn't watch the video with the intention of providing feedback, I would have tuned out after about 5 seconds, before even getting to the 'punch line'. With so many bad videos on YouTube, people's attention span have been reduced to mere seconds. If we don't like what we see in the first few seconds, we tune out and click on another link. I imagine many people who watch this video never get to the end since the moment they see it's a still image that probably won't change to live action, they think 'cheap' and tune out.
For a video to go viral, people have to want to pass it on to all of their contacts. For this to happen, they have to imagine that others will thank them for sharing the video, not roll their eyes and ask 'Why are you wasting my time with this?' "sexiness, surprise, and humor" are not enough for a video to go viral. You also need great execution.
3. Didn't work for me. It makes it look like the commercial and product are a joke, especially hearing the guy's laughter in the background. First the commercial would have to sell us on why the product is worthwhile/needed, which is doesn't.
4. The girl's voice is sexy, but it does not match the visuals, thus it ends up sounding fake and unnatural.
The guy's tatoo is a huge distraction. Is it a human heart? Why is it there?
Low budget doesn't have to mean a cheap look. Unfortunately the titles and the transitions (push, ripple dissolve) at the end also scream cheap. Nobody uses these kinds of effects on TV, so it's best to leave these for home videos and out of any professional work. Push transitions can work, but usually only if it's a quick transition, around 3-8 frames long. Slow push transitions scream 'Power Point', which in turn screams 'cheap'.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

Sorry but what is the definition of "inline" videos, I wanna be really sure (i'm not english / in my language my videos are "inline" videos: videos put inside the document).)

IPad video problems

iPad video not working after ios7 update. Anyone see this?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Why doesn't my iPad Videos App show TV Show Episode Numbers?

Dear everybody,
Can you please help me with this issue, my iPad Videos app doesn't show TV Show episode numbers. They appear to be ordered correctly but shouldn't there be an episode number section?
Here's the screnshot:
http://tinypic.com/r/18kx09/6

It's not designed to. It will only appear in Windows Explorer if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails, websites - in which case it will appear as a camera. Otherwise you get content on and off the iPad via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.
