Movie created in iMovie won't play in IPad

I have a 45 minute video made on iMovie that plays on my iMac, MacBook and iPhone (haven't tried iTouch), but iTunes will not let me sync it to iPad because "it will not play". At first it was a .mov file, then I changed it to .mp4 and .mv4 (just by changing extension). I have it in my iMovie Media Browser but can't seem to get to that through iTunes. Any ideas?

After reading several other threads I want to clarify that I do not have the iMovie app on my iPad. I created the movie using iMovie on my MacBook and simply want to be able to watch the finished product on my iPad. The finished product has already been successfully viewed on an iMac, MacBook, iPhone and a 2-year-old iPod nano and has been converted to DVD using iDVD and played on TV screens.

  • Ref Movie created on Mac won't play on Windows machine

    I created a Ref Movie on a Mac. Copied Ref Movie and full movie to a WinPC. Got -2048 error. Could view full movie. Also, Ref Movie file size was reported as 0k on WinPC.
    Used WinPC to access and run both movies from the Mac. Same problems.
    Created Ref Movie on WinPC, copied both to Mac. Mac played the both just fine. However, Mac reported file size of the Ref Movie as 0K.
    Can I created Ref Movies on a Mac that can be used on a WinPC (I realize full movie has to also be available on WinPC)?

    Turns out the problem is file system related. When OSX copies a file to a Win machine, it also creates a hidden file with additional information. It my case, OSX is creating the following two files on my WinPC:
    MyRefMovie.mov
    ._MyRefMovie.mov (a hidden file on a Windows machine)
    The application I use to create the ref movie seems to generate my problem, because it is putting the ref movie data into the hidden file, not the unhidden file. Apple's MakeRefMovie utility puts the information into the unhidden file. The behavior of creating hidden files is part of OSX (though there is a utility called BlueHarvest that can control it), but what goes into the files seems to be an application level issue. Hope this helps others who have the problem.

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • Movies in mobilme gallery won't play in safari on the ipad

    The movies I have put on my MobilMe Gallery won't play in Safari on the iPad. The photo gallery works fine, but the movies gallery does not. I created the movies directly from within Quicktime (Share-> MobilMe gallery). Using Safari on my Mac everything works fine. It's only on the iPad that it fails!
    What is the matter here? And how to solve this?

    Yes, same thing here. I received an email on my iPad with a direct link to a MobileMe gallery movie page. Click on the link and Safari opens just fine, and shows the first image of movie and the text, but no spinning, never loads, can't play.
    I know you're supposed to use the MM Gallery app... but... what about those iPad users who don't have MobileMe, but are just redirected by an email link - they could download it, but wouldn't know that.

  • Why won't my imovie won't play on site?

    I'm wondering what could cause my imovie (Quicktime) not to play on my site. I see the play bar but it won't play. Also, how do I get it to play automatically? I read the instructions but I have my site published on a private server and also when I went to the Go menu-idisk..etc.. and called up my site's file and js (?) it said there was an error and I couldn't open it to edit. Can I edit the html in text edit and then just save the folder again?

    Check your server files and make sure the movie actually uploaded; the controller could be there without the movie itself.
    The html editing is basically the same, whether it's hosted on your iDisk or a remote server. In your case, navigate to the .js files for that particular page using any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
    Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
    Change loop="false" to loop="true"
    Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
    Make the changes and just "Save". (Now would be a good time to duplicate the modified .js file so you don't have to do this again the next time you make updates to that page.)
    Now upload these changed files to your server, clear your browser cache and you should see the changes.

  • Video in iMovie won't play.

    I have edited an entire almost 45 minute long iMovie, but when I play it, certain videos I added and edited won't play, and the screen will stay on the picture that was shown before the video. How do I fix this?

    I too have this problem, includes when i add cutaways - the original video freezes and the cutaway never comes up.

  • Does anyone know what programme i can use as iDVD is not on my mac.  I want to make a DVD from a movie created on iMovie? Is Burn any good? and if so, can I get it free?

    Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie?  There is no iDVD on my mac.  Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
    Thanks.

    There is no iDVD on my mac.
    There is NO alternative.   But iDVD is very easy to get.
    iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK.  Buy here:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
    Is Burn any good?
    iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

  • ITunes Movie won't Play on iPad

    I have the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G 64GB
    When Star Trek came out on DVD, I bought the Blu-ray 3-Disc copy that had a free Digital Copy download from iTunes.
    This copy would play on my Apple TV, but not my iPhone... Now I have loaded it to my new iPad, and it won't play on it. It tells me it can't be played on this device.
    Can anyone help me out here?

    That's correct for me - It syncs just fine. I can even open the main movie menu on the ipad, see all the movie info, chapters, and everything. Just when I go to play it I get the error "This movie could not be played". I had a similar problem with Wall-E (bought directly from itunes store - not blu ray digital copy). But for whatever reason, that issue resolved itself. Princess and the Frog is locked down, though. I've tried resyncing, syncing manually versus automatically, etc. No Luck. This movie plays fine though itunes on my TV.
    Any thoughts?

  • HD movies with iTunes extra won't play on Apple TV.Tried to repurchase and message states, "Already purchased, would you like to view now?" Submitted "YES" and am taken to movie's menu with iTunes extra with no tab for 'PLAY'. Menu won't work at all.

    Several movies I purchased won't play on Apple TV. They don't show up on my Apple TV menu, and if I search for them, the "Purchase HD movie" tab shows up. When I try to re-purchase, states "Already Purchased- would you like to view now". I answer "YES" and I'm taken to a screen without a "Play" tab. Other tabs such as "Extras" are frozen and don't work. Unable to see the movie or any of the iTunes extras.

    Hey there storytellerstudios,
    I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV.  I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

  • Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

    I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

    I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem.  The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform".  Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:
