ITunes crashed during sync, now Podcasts have sound but no video.

My wife has a 5th gen 30GB iPod. It has the latest system software from iPod Updater, and we're running the latest iTunes.
Yesterday she was doing a sync, and iTunes crashed on her in the middle of it. Now, even with an iPod Restore and reset, and a restart of her Windows XP machine, Podcasts won't play properly on the iPod. They play fine in iTunes, but only the audio portion plays on the iPod. Non-Podcast video (such as music videos) plays fine on the iPod.
What happened here? What's wrong?
Thanks for any help in solving this.

An update (and a solution):
Looks like the iTunes crash was only a clue as to what was happening elsewhere, and a slightly misleading clue at that.
Video Podcasts were placing themselves in the "Music" section on the iPod, and it was from there that we were attempting to play them. This worked just fine until iTunes's crash. After the crash, only the audio part would play.
It was only late last night that after lots of investigation my wife discovered that the video Podcasts were ALSO installing themselves into a "Videos > Video Podcasts" sub section!
It's stupidly obvious now, but was not yesterday: Video Podcasts will only play the audio portion when played from the "Music" section, but will play both audio and video when played from "Video > Video Podcasts". For some reason we had not discovered the "Video Podcasts" subsection until last night.
Then a second solution was discovered to have been necessary. One Podcast video still would not play properly, even from the correct section. This turned out to be due to a need to "Convert" it to play on the iPod. This page has the answer to that:

iTunes online Help has all the answers to this, but we thought it was an iPod problem, and the iPod manual was no help at all. The answers to this in iTunes Help are found under:
"Browsing and watching videos"
and
"Converting a video to work with iPod"
It really helps to PRINT those two subjects, so you can refer to the paper page instead of trying to toggle back and forth between the iTunes screen and its Help screen.
I hope this topic helps someone else.

  • Now i hav sound but no video

    the advice that was given to me worked about my cd/dvd player but there is 1 more problem i need to iron out and that is i have sound but no video the screen looks like a real tight knit rainbow is this a driver or a codecs problem
    thanx   dan34

    Next time include the model of computer that you are using. Then the people that respond to these questions can hopefully give you a better answer. I would go to the Control Panel and click on Displays. Check the Resolution and make sure it is set for the default of your computer. Usually that is the same as the highest resolution available. Check Device Manager in the Control Panel too. Make sure that there are no conflicts or anything disabled. Finally make sure that the computer is using the latest video driver.

    My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

    You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

  • Podcasts play sound but no video??!!

    I subscribed to some podcasts on my iTunes today, and uploaded them to my iPhone. I'm beginning to get frustrated, as multiple podcasts from different subscriptions are all doing the same thing, they play the sound, but the video is frozen. I tried resetting the phone, same, re-uploading the same podcasts, same, and re-downloading and uploading new ones to the phone and the same... Should this happen after spending 700 on the 8gb with taxes and accessories? This is the first issue, and I am apple dedicated, but this is ridiculous! Help!

    afinite,
    Podcasters do not have to make podcasts with video. if they do have video they do not have to be compatible with the iPhone.
    This article gives more information about podcasts.

    What podcasts are not playing with video?
    Do the free TV shows from iTunes Store>Free on iTunes Store> play with video?

  • Itunes crashed during sync and now it wont sync my apps?????

    i was syncing my itunes and was updating my itunes which i minimized away, and then suddenly itunes crashed and itunes kept updating i closed the update and went back on and finished the sync but some apps i purchased werent there. i have since updated itunes thinking that would help but no luck there. how can i fix this?

    In iTunes, go to the App store and download the apps again.
    If you log in with the same account that they were purchased with, you will not have to pay for them again.
    Golden rule, do not try to update the itunes software at the same time syncing your phone.
    I would expect iTunes to want to shut its self down while updating and if you are syncing at the same time, then its very possible to loose all your info. You were probably lucky only to loose some Apps

  • Crash during sync, now all my apps are gone.

    My laptop and iphone crashed during a sync. Laptop would lock up as soon as the phone was plugged in, and the phone started random reboots and freezes.
    I reinstalled WinXP and itunes on the laptop, but still could not sync. The phone would come up "sync in progress", but then nothing happened. Left it sit overnight, and sync still would never complete.
    Restored the phone to factory settings, and now everything seems fine. Only problem is that all of my downloaded apps are gone. I can see the history where I purchased them in the itunes store but they are not in itunes. If I try to reload them it wants me to pay for them again. Is there any way to recover previously purchased apps?

    You can re-download purchased apps for free. Click on buy, click yes to I want to purchase, another popup will appear, you have already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

  • Video & Podcast has sound but NO video

    When I sync video or podcast to my 30g Ipod, It just shows a small still picture with the title beside it. It does play sound but absolutly no video. How do I fix this problem?

    On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
    Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • Published Videos from IPhoto to Gallery have sound but no video in browser

    I've published some iphoto pictures and videos to a gallery on MobileMe. The videos in the gallery will play in the browser but there is no video, just sound.
    The videos in IPhoto work fine, but through the browser they have no image. Do I need a special plugin to play these videos off the site? I simply let IPhoto upload them to the gallery, so I assumed it would do whatever it needed to ensure they will play...
    Any help would be appreciated...I've tried viewing the videos with Firefox and Safari, but I get the same behavior. I tried downloading the file and it is the same bahavior, however the originals in the IPhoto albums work just fine...I assume this means a conversion is happening, but to what format?? They have an AVI extension, were originally downloaded from a Canon 770is camera.
    I confirmed I can play the video on a Windows computer. I also downloaded the file from the gallery and opened in Quicktime and used the inspector to see:
    Format is 'MJPG' 640x480..it also downloaded with a .MOV extension rather than the AVI listed in gallery....

    Heya Brendt,
    Is the video within iTunes or just in your movies folder?
    If it is not iTunes then ignore the "itunes" portion below.
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

  • Trouble shoot Issue in QT Pro: I have sound but no Video after convert

    I hope this hasn't been answered somewhere else if so I apologize. I have been using QuickTime Pro to convert .mkv files to .mp4. I muxed them with MkvMerge. Then I open them in QuickTime Pro and export as a mp4 for Ps3 playback. They are 1080p Hd movie files and I have had no problems until today. I have one mkv that when converted to mp4 plays only sound and no video. Its just a black screen. I checked the muxed files when I open them in QT Pro and they work fine so its only after I convert the .mka to .mp4 that I have the video issue. I've already done a few other files so I don't know why this isn't working? Any ideas?

    It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
    It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
    http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
    which may help.
    But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
    2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
    Or this link may be helpful:
    http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
    Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
    "There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."

    Maybe worth a try?

  • ITunes crashing during sync with iPhone 4

    i can't figure it out. sometime i can get it to sync, sometimes not. been working with this for two days now. i've got a fresh itunes, fresh snow leopard, fresh iphone restore. everything has been re-done, but when i sync with itunes, it crashing in the middle of the sync. if i stop the sync, then change a setting like sync no music, or sync podcasts, it doesnt crash, but on a normal autosync i get a crash. anyone got any ideas?

    after much trial and error i have discovered that the problem lies in the iphoto sync portion. i'm still not sure why, but disabling it appears to solve the issue. not how to i get my photos back on it?

  • Itunes crashes during sync

    Just about every time I modify playlists and try to sync to either my Touch or Nano I end up spending HOURS trying to determine which new selection causes the sync process to crash. I end up doing binary searches by dividing the playlist in half, then in half again and again until I find the troublemaker, but I must be missing something. There must be a better way.
    The problem selection always plays just fine in Itunes on the desktop system.
    What am I stupidly overlooking?
    Thanks!

    *replying to Christian*
    Nombre del módulo con errores: CoreAudioToolbox.dll
    Versión del módulo con errores: 7.9.4.0
    With your particular one, Christian, there's a bug with 10.1.0.54 that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices.
    Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
    (1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though).
    (2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
    (3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
    (2 and 3 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

  • Quicktime movies saved on mac have sound but no video in QTpro (windows)

    I have QT files saved on a hard drive by someone on mac (hard drive formatted to be compatible with both mac and windows) The QT files wouldn't open initially, I upgraded to QT pro and now they open and play, but only sound, no video.   When I try to import them into Adobe Premiere elements, i get a missing codec error message, but it doesn't tell me what codec I need. 
    Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution?

    Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window to view the codecs used.

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

    Non-HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/cqNb3w
