Movie Playback on the iPod

I've converted the movies to play on the iPod. When I select a movie to play on the iPod, I only get a small picture of the first frame in the upper left side and the cursor on the bottom moves like it is playing. How can I view the movies full screen on the iPod?

I'm pretty sure that you have your iPod set to play on the tv. Go into video settings - Main menu\Videos\Video Settings and change "Tv Out" to ask, that way you'll be asked everytime you go to play one, that way you can be sure to get it in the right mode.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Can I purchase/download movies just with the iPod touch (w/o any Mac/PC)?

    Hi,
    its probably a very simple question but I could not find the right answer here yet. I currently don't own a Mac or PC and would like to get a iPod touch in the mean time for basic internet and mail. I know its not as good as a 'real' laptop for it but that is fine with me.
    Back when I still had a computer I enjoyed watching TV shows and movies that I rented/purchased over the iTunes store. Now my question is if it is possible to keep doing that. Meaning: Is it possible to download TV shows or movies directly to the iPod touch over its very own WiFi connection without any Mac/PC involved whatsoever?
    Thanks so much for reading this and helping out with this question!
    Best regards,
    T

    ... thats a little unfortunate ... nonetheless thanks a lot for the fast reply to both of you!!

  • Movie playback prob on ipod

    I have a 5g 60GB ipod. When trying to play a movie from itunes, it will freeze at a point in the movie - either temporarily, i.e. it will start again at that same point, or will restart the movie. The ipod works fine for TV shows, music, etc. this only seems to happen when watching a movie.
    I have done the soft reset ofthe ipod, but have not yet completely wiped and reloaded the ipod.
    Any ideas other than that?

    Well a restore would be the next step.
    Do the movies play ok in iTunes?
    These are movies purchased from the iTunes store? If so, it's possible you may have a corrupted download. You can contact the customer support by clicking on 'help' in iTunes.

  • Help - Playlists out of view of ipod Icon won't move up to the ipod Icon

    Hello,
    I'm kind of new to the ipod world. I've been doing ok for the most part. I used to have no problems moving my playlists on the left hand side up to the ipod Icon. However, if you can't see the ipod icon my playlist wont' move to it -- only to the top of the screenlist.
    For instance a playlist mark Aerosmith would easily move to the icon.
    A playlist marked Talking Heads would only scroll to the top of the visible screen and just stop or freeze -- it wouldn't go past the playlists that start with A and end with T
    Can anyone please offer any help?
    Thank you

    You likely have a hardware problem since the article says a possible cause of the 1611 error is a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I cannot open movie rentals on the ipod. if I try to update it it tells me to move the rentals back into my Library bu I tunes will not allow me to do that. how can I move the rebtals back into the library?

    How can I move rentals from my Ipod back into my I tunes Library?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • TS1463 I downloaded 3 movies to watch on my IPOD Classic.  One movie went to the IPOD but the other 2 said they couldn't load.  Why would this happen?  I am wanting to watch the movie when I travel and not on my computer at home.

    Why can't I download a movie onto my IPOD Classic?  One movie downloaded by 2 only went to my computer.  Can I get a refund?

    An iPod classic can generally play video files up to 640 by 480 pixels.  The iPod's screen is actually 320x240 pixels, but it will play 640x480 videos (that are in a compatible format).
    However, "HD" (high def) videos are at a higher resolution than 640x480.  Apple often provides both the HD and SD (standard def) versions of the video, when you download it.  The SD version should work with iPod classic.  If a video is in HD only, it won't play on iPod so you can't sync it to iPod.
    There is a command in iTunes to convert the video.  Select video on the iTunes library list.  Go up to Menu Bar.  Under Advanced, select Create iPod or iPhone Version.  After converting completes (which can take some time), try syncing that version to your iPod.  NOTE: Some videos in iTunes may not allow conversion due to copy protection (DRM).

  • Trying to move songs onto the ipod linked to another computer to a mac

    The classic Ipod I have was linked to a PC that crashed. I now have a mac and I am trying to put the songs onto that itunes library. I am able to update my ipod and add songs to it, but I can't put a backup of songs into the itunes library. Any suggestions? Thank you for any input!

    now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
    5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
    VERSION 5.014 --
    6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
    2
    7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
    i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
    8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
    i have no idea what you are talking about.
    9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
    6.0.2.23
    10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
    1
    11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
    no
    12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
    dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

  • How to use folders in 'Movies'' and how to right click a file on the ipod?

    Does anyone know how to create folders in the Movies category on the ipod? I would like to get rid of the huge list of movies and create some structure in this category. Is there also a solution to this problem without the need to synchronize video between ipod and computer?
    How do I "right click" a song on my ipod for info? Probably a stupid question, but when I press forward (right click?) on the ipod it just starts playing the next song...

    The "right click" refers to using the mouse on a song displayed in either the iTunes library or the iPod song list in iTunes when it's connected to your PC. It doesn't mean click on the right side of the click wheel.

  • Movies not playing on Ipod Touch

    I purchased a movie directly from the Ipod. The download was successful but every time I try to watch the movie it says "This movie cannot be played" this is the first time I ever tried to watch a movie on it. Please help!

    i downloaded a tv episode yesterday (it was free, only reason i did it - normally they're way too expensive & i'd rather buy the dvd instead)
    this happened, it wouldn't play until i'd synced it and reloaded the tv ep onto my ipod.

  • ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync.  I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/.  I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help.  Please let me know of any solution.

    I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
    I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
    Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

  • How to make quicktime h.264 movies repeat indefinitely on iPod third gen

    I created some QT H.264 movies for my wife's 3rd generation iPod so that we could play them in our nursery. But they only play once -- I would like them to loop continuously on the iPod. The 3rd gen iPod has a repeat setting, but that only seems to apply to music. I thought that there was a QuickTime Pro export setting for "loop continuously," but I can't seem to find it.
    Can anyone help me out here?

    In iTunes add the movie to a playlist or create a playlist with the movie.
    Sync the iPod.
    Set the iPod to *repeat all*
    In the video section select the video in the videoplaylist and play it. It repeats.
