Movie not playing in Videos app

Hi!
I bought a movie on the iTunes store (Monthy Python's +Life of Brian+, even though I'm not sure that might be helpful to know) and synced it to my iPod touch (2nd G). Up to then, everything seems fine, the space taken up by the movie appears on the barline at the bottom of the iPod screen on iTunes. But when I get into the Videos app on the iPod, it says I have no videos at all. I've tried restarting the iPod, restauring it too, uninstalling the video and reinstalling it, but nothing works.
For what I read, such a movie (.m4v, video format H.264) should be read properly, shouldn't it? It was downloaded from the iTunes store! Can somebody help me there?
Thank you very much,
JP

even if it's an HD, there should have been another video, the standard one, is downloaded so that the video you bought can be played in your ipod touch. HD is for PC's, and apple tv's.
I have almost the same problem. It's just that the movie i bought from itunes is shown in the videos, but everytime i try to watch it, "This movie could not be played." pops up.
I tried everything. nothing happend. restore, deauthorize/authorize, delete it from my ipod, then put it back again, turn my ipod off for one day.

    Hello acucare,
    If you have tried all the steps in the referenced article, you will want to take a look at the additional options under "Get help" at the bottom. This includes:
    If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
    If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.

  • Movies not appearing in video app ios7

    Under iOS6, movies not purchased via iTunes would appear in content list and could be played.  Under
    iOS7, the same movie appears in the "on my phone" list in iTunes, takes space on my phone (iPhone4 running 7.02),
    but the Apple's video report "no content".  Additionally, TV shows appear in the video app eventhough
    I did not check the "Sync TV movies" section in iTunes.  Is my only option to run VLC on these
    movies (non-iTunes)?  Also, how do you remove TV shows from the iPhone.

    Does the count in Settings > General > About > Videos indicate that they are on the iPad ?
    Have you tried closing the Videos app completely and seeing if they show when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Videos '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.
    If that doesn't work then you could try 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.

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • How do I download a movie from my ipad2 video app to apple tv

    How do I view a recently downloaded movie from my Ipad2 video app to Apple TV?

    If it is from the iTunes store you can watch it from iCloud on ATV.  If it is not from the iTunes store the next best option is to add it to your local copy of iTunes and have ATV play it from there.  You can always do it from AirPlay but that is a very error prone and degrages the quality.

  • FCP X will not play any video.

    FCP X will not play any video. I can skim the audio but can not playback anything. I can move things aroun in the timeline and do everthing else but no play. When I press play or space It will freeze with my favorite beach ball until I force quit. I have deleted all preferences and the app and reinstalled from scratch. Didn't change anything. I was able to export out a project without being able to see it untill the export finished, in full res with no issues.
    I am using an Imac 10 with Dual core 3.06ghz and 16gb ram on 10.6.8

    Spoke to Apple Rep today: Everything works in a new user. Duh I should have thought of that. He at first was telling me that 256 vram was barely enough to run FCPX  and my dual monitors was part of the problem with too many things on the bus 1 usb drive 2 usb printers 1 usb apc, Firewire 400 DVD and Lacie drive, and a Drobo He didn't like the Drobos.  Unhooked everything... Didn't help.
    He Did say that with A DSLR you must Render on import. Tried that Didn't help. I need tosee if that holds water. Off to figure out my User issues But at least I can get back to work.

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

  • HT2488 Automator movie not playing

    I have created an application in Automator using the get movie and play movie options, i have saved the saved application file into my login items and enabled auto login.
    The problem is that when i bootup the machine nothing happens it just auto logs in and sits on the desktop, i have been on this problem now for 4 days but with no success. I found the following article http://macmost.com/forum-how-do-i-get-a-movie-to-play-at-startup-on-osx-10-5-ima c.html and followed it to the letter but still it's not playing the video on startup. I can run the video once on the desktop with no problem but it's just not working in automator. Also i need to get quicktime player to open full screen once the video file has been selected which again i'm struggling to find a solution for despite scouring the web for days there is no option to set quicktime player to run permenantely on full screen on opening.
    This video is a suprise message from santa for my daughter and i need to get it working before the big day.
    Please Please Please Help.
    Thanks

    Do you have Quicktime installed?  My iTunes wouldn't play movies until I installed Quicktime.
    Is the movie from iTunes or from another source?  More details would help...although since this post is from so long ago you probably figured it out!

    I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
    Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
    Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

    I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.

    Hi Mohan_111
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum! 
    Things to try:
    1. Uninstall and reinstall the Youtube downloader.
    Restart your phone
    1. Press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates and switches off.
    2. Switch your phone on again.
    Reset the settings
    Restore the original factory settings (Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore). This reset will not delete any data on your phone it will just restore the settings back to default state.
    Update the software
    Make sure your phone is running the latest software. Use Nokia Suite to update or reinstall the phone software.

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.
