Ipad video not launching

Can anyone help me? I go into the video app on my ipad to watch tv shows and all I am getting is a black screen. I can't even choose other shows - it is like frozen. I have shut down my Ipad twice and it isn't resolving the issue. Any help would be 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 completely : 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.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Close the Notes app on the Task Bar and re-launch.

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 Not Working

I used to put a lot of videos on my iPad and categorise them under "TV Shows" but ever since I updated to the new iOS 8, 90% of my TV shows (mp4) have stopped working (with a stop/load button next to it, then it removes itself from the iPad). My videos seem to work when I leave them in under the "movies" category but once I change the category, it will temporarily work when I open it through the computer then it doesn't play at all when I click it on my iPad. Can anyone help me here?

Try restarting or restoring the iPad and see if that helps.
Where did the videos come from? Try testing with some videos from the iTunes or YouTube app.

My iPad will not launch photon

My iPad also will not install certain apps or show screenshots of those apps in the app store.
How do I fix this???

Start with these things.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You can also delete Photon and reinstall it for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles and tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button. Then go back to the app store purchased tab, find Photon and download it again.

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.

My iPad will not let me open or play movies I bought on iTunes

I rented a movie from the iTunes store and as I was watching it, it stopped and wouldn't let me play. Then I bought another movie and it stopped in the beginning and wouldn't continue playing. I exited out of the movie and tried to go back into the videos and when I clicked on the videos all I got was a black screen and it will not work. I reset all my settings and restarted the iPad 2. How do I fix it?

Then have you tried log out and access your iTunes again, and try resync the movies again?

IPad video app (iTune) broken - Not showing downloaded videos

Recently, I began to have problems with videos that I purchased on iTunes, downloaded them, could watch them and then delete them so I could download more purchased videos, and then when I would go to download them again later (to watch them again), it would show in iTuned that they were already downloaded. In iTunes...The "WATCH" button appears where the "Download" button usually appears...and when you click on it, the iTunes Video App launches, but the video isn't there to watch.
Anyone else having this same problem? ...and how do I fix this APPLE? I have already done a factory restart and loaded my apps, etc...back on to my iPad from iCloud, but the problem is still there.
Thanks!

Thanks Rex. I appreciate your suggestion. There are two reviews on it so far (not much substance regarding function).

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

My ipad is not showing all my music or videos

Looking for help with my iPad 2. I have iTunes 11.1.5.5 on my Sony Vaio VPCSA laptop running Windows 7. When I connect my iPad 2 and open iTunes, I can select my iPad from the menu column on the left and see 8 movies, all my music, and play lists. While traveling recently, I went to watch a movie on my iPad and there are no videos and only a fraction of my songs and 1 play list. When I got back I payed a little closer attention to the sync and noticed 1) on the content bar (audio/video/apps) there is a sizable selection identified as other. 2) when it gets to the last step in the sync process it has a message that says "waiting for selections to be applied" and then times out. I tried syncing and hitting the apply button during this last step and still no movies/music are transferred to the iPad.
I'm wondering that when I bought this laptop and transferred my music over from my old laptop, I somehow didn't have a correct setting and its not syncing properly with my iPad. Not sure if I should hard reset my iPad 2 and reload everything. And if anyone recommends this, should I not use the back up feature? All my music, videos and apps are on my iTunes client and my iPhone 5s seems to be syncing up without any problems.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

Any 3rd party software to recover video taken with iPad and not yet backed up

I accidently deleted a video clip, taken with the iPad 3. iPad has not been backed up since as this video was shot yesterday and I was out of town and unable to back up iPad yet. Are there any 3rd party solutions to recover that file? I've turned off the iPad to prevent over righting.
I think it's unbelievable that it could be so easy to possibly permanently delete content from such an advanced device

Capturing Flip Video to Final Cut Express Will not launch Flip Video

I have done this many times before. I am using Final Cut Express and I am plugging my Flip Video camera into my MacBook Pro and the Flip Video software does not launch. It does not seem to be the
Flip Video software that is the problem. I have upgraded the Flip Video software. The prompt I get says Flip Video quit unexpectely. I have no idea what is going on. I get a huge log of computer terms which I do not understand. Any ideas? Wish I knew more.
Here is a screen shot of what I am getting after I attempt to open Flip Video Share Capture etc./Users/Tim/Desktop/Screen shot 2010-08-04 at 11.36.11 PM.png

The problem is with your Flip Video software. It is launching but then crashing - that's what the message means:
The prompt I get says Flip Video quit unexpectely.
"Quit Unexpectedly" is a nice way to say "Crashed".
You could try trash the Flip Software.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't help you need to contact the makers of the Flip software.

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.
