IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

My Mac keeps freezing in the middle of applications (most notable Safari) requiring me to shut down and restart. It also freezes during video playback (online and using Quicktime). Do I need to wipe and reinstall OS? I'm thinking I have a virus........

Please help!! It's driving me nuts. I've reinstalled the OS via the disc about 3 times so far, but haven't yet erased the drive (and am seriously considering doing so). I barely have any files on my HD because I run everything off of external drives (after losing a TON of stuff after my Mac crashed in the first 3 months of having it). I bought the computer in 2007 and was running Tiger. I passed on Leopard but gave in for Snow Leopard because I wanted an iPhone and iPad. When I installed SL, I had to reformat the HD and made it Journaled......it's been acting ******** ever since.

First you don't have a virus because none exist for OS X. So you can stop worrying about hat. If you recently got a warning about a Virus and accepted downloaded some software then you fell for a Trojan. Here is an article about that and how to rid yourself of it.
If you did not download anything like that then doing a Erase and Install would be the way to go. Here is a video that will show you exactly what to do.

IPhone 4 rebooting during video playback

My new iPhone 4 is rebooting whenever I play a video. It can be a Youtube, a podcast or a video I recorded with the camera. Sometimes it does it a minute or so into the video, sometimes when the video ends. I am also getting artifacts on the screen during video playback. Any help? I have Genius Bar appointment this weekend to see if they have a solution.

Went to Genius Bar and it was a hardware issue. Brand new iPhone 4 in my pocket.

Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back. The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing. I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help. Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

Freezing with iTunes 7.6.1, thumping sound,especially during video playback

Hi,
Has anyone noticed a decrease in system reliability after upgrading to iTunes 7.6.1, especially during video/videopodcast playback in iTunes on their MacBook Pro's?
Specifically, the entire system locks up. Reminds me of the days of OS 7.5.5 when the mouse cursor freezes, keyboard stops responding. The only way to proceed is by holding down the power button.
This has occurred about 4 times now. The trackpad will become unresponsive, keyboard buttons such as caplocks and nu lock will be unresponsive too. Most interesting is that the sound output will loop, usually a short bit of the last audio played back over iTunes.
Videos which have triggered this:
- Podcast: Diggnation
- Podcast: ABC World News Now
- YouTube video's converted by Tooble
Here's a video I recorded showing the thumping noise. It sounds like the last audio dump before the crash looped. It's not coming from the hard drive. Definitely from the speakers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzOCcINoClg
In the video you see I had World of Warcraft up, but I don't think it is the problem, because this kind of crash has occurred while using other programs.
Details:
iTunes 7.6.1
QuickTime 7.4.1
Mac OS X 10.4.11
2.2 Ghz (MacBookPro3,1)
4GB RAM
External second monitor attached: eMachines 15" LCD
Prefrence panes additions: Application Enhancer, Divx, FinderPop, Flip4Mac WMV, Perian, Teleport, WindowShade X.
Have NOT installed Security Update 2008-001 OR AirPort Utility 5.3.1 pending user problem reports.
I never had such a complete system freeze until about the time I updated to iTunes 7.6.1. Repaired disk, permissions, cleaned up virtual memory, cache's using AppleJack.
Thanks, just want to see if this is an isolated problem.

First, create a new user account and see if you can replicate the problem on that account.
If so, start by killing all the running daemons that aren't OS X-native apps. In other words, Window Shade X, Application Enhancer, divx, etc. Quit all that junk and use Activity Monitor to make sure those apps aren't running background tasks. I'd be willing to bet that Application Enhancer is the culprit.
See if that solves the problem. If so, you can add the applications back one by one until you find the one that's causing problems.

IPod 5G Freezes During Flight

I have a 60G iPod Video that freezes during flights. I've flown twice now with my iPod and each time it freezes and becomes unuseable until landing. Has anyone encountered this and have a solution?

I would never break that rule...of course those "mean" folks known as attendants are always on the lookout for rule breakers like me! In all seriousness, it happened during climbout on one occasion. But on the previous occasion I didn't pull out my iPod until we were already at altitude and well into our flight.

How do I reduce slideshow sound during video playback in iPhoto.

Hi all.
The quick slideshow in iPhoto 09 is fantastic! The combination of pictures and videos blending into each other works very well.
...with one exception. When showing a video with sound the selected background music for the slideshow still plays - at a reduced volume. This reduced backgroundvolume is often not reduced enough and it interfers and destroys the experience of the video clip. I would like to find an option for reducing the backgroundmusic even further or maybe mute it during the video playback. But as soon as next pictures are shown the backgroundmusic should return again.
A very technical solution eg changing / "hacking" iPhoto files would be fine also.
Best regds
Jesper

That can't be done. Send in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you're saving the movie as a QT file for use elsewhere and have access to iMovie HD 6 you can do that very easy. Create the movie without added music, export to Quicktime, import into iMovie HD 6 and add the music tracks as desired.

You will have lots of control over the sound this way.

Ipod nano hums during car playback

My ipod nano hums during playback in my car. In addition the volume is so low that even with the ipod level at full blast I still have to turn my car system way up to hear the nano at a reasonable listening level. I have tried two different adaptors and that hasn't helped. It works fine when I connect it to my sound system at home.

First thing to check is the Shuffle function of the iPod. Shuffle should be set to OFF to work with the Alpine correctly and when you updated the firmware it may have reset the iPod to default to turning the Shuffle feature ON.

My ipod touch freezes during the backup portion of sync...help

Everytime I try to sync my ipod touch it freezes during the backup portion. Not sure what to do

Go to preferences, devices, and prevent it from syncing automatically.
Disable any and all security/antivirus programs on your computer, restart it, and try to sync it again.
They are most likely interfering with iTunes.
If this does not work, create another user for your computer (as an Administrator), and try to sync your ipod on that user.

IPad 2 screen becomes unresponsive during video playback

I just purchased an iPad 2, and one of the first disappointments I've seen is that the screen becomes completely unresponsive during playback of a video with the "Videos" App. This happens after the video has been playing for several seconds. Is there a fix to this problem? My only recourse was to shut down the application; however, the problem is persistent. This means there is NO control of video playback, i.e., pause, FForward, Reverse, Skip???? I have already updated my iPad 2 with the latest OS. What gives???

What quite often works for people with problems with the Videos app are the following.
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.

Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

I take a lot of videos of my kids. I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away. I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc. I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open. Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?

My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

Most YouTube content requires Flash .. You're using Safari to view YouTube?
If so ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.

My iPOD will not display visual during Video Playback - only Audio. Help!

My movies and TV shows are successfully downloaded from iTUNES and successfully synched to my iPOD, however, when I attempt to playback on my iPOD, I can only hear the content and not see it. The only thing I see is the movie album cover and the name of the movie and that is all. Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

On the menu of your iPod go to Videos> Video Settings> and turn TV Out to off. Hopefully this will help.
