IPhone and iPad cannot play back some shared videos.

I have a 3rd gen. iPad, an iPhone 4S, and a 17 inch MacBook Pro, all with the latest OS and software. I have library sharing turned on on the MacBook, and an extensive video library of TV shows purchased on iTunes. Some of the episodes, usually from the same season, will not play back on the iPad, and cannot be listed on the iPhone. All of the files are located in sub folders under the same "iTunes Library" folder. They all have the same .m4v file extension. I cannot see a pattern that might help me figure this out, so I am asking for help.

My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times. In the iCloud account says that my mail is not verified.

My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

HT201317 iCloud on my iPhone and iPad....photo sharing quit working

I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone and iPad for sharing photos....it worked for awhile but recently stopped. We have checked the settings as instructed...it appears to be consistent with the iCloud instructions....plus, both devices are on the same wi-fi.....why did it stop working?

I assume you mean that your two devices are sharing the same photo stream, but they are no longer streaming new photos to each other. To troubleshoot this, first determine which device is not adding new photos for photo stream by taking a new photo on each and seeing if the photo appears in the photo stream album on the device after a minute or so. (The must be connected to wifi, have the camera app closed, and have at least 20% battery life remaining in order to upload photos to photo stream.)
If one of your devices fails to add new photos to its photo stream album, save the photo stream photos that you want to keep on the device to the camera roll (if not already there) by tapping Edit, tapping the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn photo stream off, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on. Then take a new photo and see if it appears in the photo stream album now, and streams to the other device.

IPhone and iPad cannot connect to iMac

I'm having trouble connecting my mobile devices to my iMac using Edge Inspect. Edge Inspect is running on my machine and in the browser (the icon is illuminated in the Chrome taskbar), but when I try and connect my iOS devices via the Edge Inspect app on each one, they cannot see my iMac and any attempts to use 'Manual Connect' (with any of the 3 IP addresses shown in the Chrome plugin's menu box) result in an error message:
"Connection unsuccessful, please try again."
I've got the latest versions of iOs and the Edge Inspect apps running on my iPhone and iPad, OS X 10.8.3, Chrome 26.0.1410.65 with the Edge Inspect plugin and the latest version of the Edge Inspect app running on my iMac, and have verified that port 7682 is open on my iMac. Edge Inspect is shown as allowing incoming connections via my firewall. I've tried restarting the Mac, to no avail.
TL;DNR: I've tried everything that I can find online to get the application to work, but my devices can't 'see' my iMac. Can anyone help?
(If it matters, I'm running a BT Home Hub 3.0 for my home network.)

Fixed the problem - all I needed to do was power cycle my router. Schoolboy error!

Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Paul Gaydos

Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case. Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
thanks

IPhone and iPad cannot connect via Remote to iTunes

I updated iTunes yesterday and today none of our iPhones or iPads can see the itunes library via Remote. I've gone through the troubleshooting. The best result I got was to get the icon to reappear on remote's devices list. But it won't connect when I select it. Eventually it stops looking and I get this message "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I've checked all the settings on all the devices. I've logged out and back in. I turned the router off and back on. I've turned home sharing off and back on. Network seems to be working fine for everything else. I have not checked if my Apple TV will work or not.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

I can no longer sync iphone and ipad - 'cannot access conflicts' unable to retrieve conflict info from sync server' - any ideas please? Previous enquirer with this didn't seem to find an answer?

anybody found this and got the answer? both ipad and iphone used to be ok, just started happening last couple of months.
See from communities question that I'm not the only one, but don't seem to be able to find solution posted anywhere.
It's really annoying cos now ipad, iphone and outlook are all saying they don't match appointments and contacts - aaaarrrgghhhh!

Here is the solution.
Rationale: You want to be able to have the dates on your items (notes, contacts) on your iphone to be the same as on outlook. This will eliminate any sync conflicts. You will also notice that if you modify something on the iphone and sync, you will lose the modification you made.
Steps:
1) In outlook, export the data (contacts, notes) to a CSV file
2) Delete you notes/contacts in outlook
3) Sync your iphone and select replace information on this iPhone (in iTunes)
4) Now your contacts and notes will be empty on both your iPhone and Outlook
5) Now import your contacts and notes from the CSV files back into outlook. What this does is put the current date and time on every individual item
6) Sync your iPhone to iTunes normally
7) everything will work correctly now with no sync issues and no conflicts.

IPad cannot play "Back to the Mac" Apple Keynote Podcast ???

Are you kidding me??? Why isn't Apple publishing its own podcast in an .m4v format the iPad can play?
So much for the "integrated" ecosystem Jobs touted in the earnings call Monday...

What I did a few hours ago is deleted the file from the podcast in iTunes, then right-click on the Apple Keynotes podcast feed header and Update Podcas, right-click on it again afterwards and Show all available episodes, then finally download it again. I now have a file which is reported by iTunes as 1,004.4MB and by Finder as 1,053,109,240 bytes - different from the filesize on my previous download - and this file now DOES correctly play on my iPad (and iPhone4 and AppleTV).
My guess is either (1) Apple re-published the file to the podcast feed after some of us had downloaded it (and it got cached various places too) and/or (2) some problem with their content distribution network meant there were some "bad" copies of the file able to be downloaded (depending on which CDN server a user's download request happened to get satisfied by).
Anyway, deleting and re-downloading - and doing no other fiddling - worked fine for me.

Podcasts in both iPhone and iPad will play for a minute and then reset back to the beginning, can only stream, cannot download - no problem on PC laptop with exact same Podcasts with exact same internet set up. What is the fix?

This is incredibly frustrating - we had a IPhone 4s that had no problems here for about 7 monts. We have a new IPhone 4s and recently a new IPad 2. Ever since the mandatory switch to using the Podcasts App for iOS based products (my PC laptop works fine), the podcasts will say "cannot be downloaded at this time" and will stream for 30 seconds to a few minutes, then abruptly start over at the beginning. We cannot fast forward ahead properly in the new clunky interface, and the secondary screen where you get to see the "tape player" going through podcast does not skip when you move the timer icon anywhere in the podcast. It is though they are running in parallel.
We are talking podcasts by the BBC, NPR, etc and the Lenovo doesn't have any issues bc the whole system is inside ITunes.
I have looked all over the internet and cannot find a fix, please help.

Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

HT4859 Once I back up my photos music mail etc. to icloud what do I do with that data on my iphone and iPad Delete it for some reason I have a mind **** about this one

I just dont understand icloud I guess. I can't wrap my mind around this one. Once I back up all my data to icloud what do I do with the data on my phone as far as pictures,music ,mail etc. I have an ipad, mac and an iphone. Love them all just cant get this one. I bought forty dollars worth of extra memorey for this as I trhought that was my problem. It is still sitting there not used waiting to expire ...Please help and thank you for your time

Do not delete anything from your devices, if you do it will be deleted from the cloud.
Think of the cloud as the master copy for data you keep synced between devices.

HT5824 I keep receiving a message that my iCloud is full, so my iPhone and iPad won't back up.

How do I delete saved data from the iCloud?

Contacts on iPhone and iPad not connecting to iCloud

Just set up iCloud today to sync Contacts between MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. Initial setup worked ok. Now, MacBooks is working OK, but iPhone and iPad cannot connect to server. Open Contacts app and icon on status bar at top of screen just spins (for hours). Have tried to disable Contacts sync on iPhone, but but same behavior. Have tried to delete iCloud account on iPad...same. Have rebooted both devices...same. Any suggestions?

iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts. If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too. If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

I changed my iCloud password on my Mac and now my iPhone and iPad keep automatically reverting to the old password which is no longer valid. What should I do?

I changed my password for iCloud on my Mac, but my iPhone and iPad keep reverting back to the old password which no longer works. I cannot iMessage or purchase anything from iTunes.

Hello, on the Date...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
