Movies not playing from video app
Downloaded movies from itunes showing up as ready to watch but when I select "watch" from the video app the movie won't play
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.
Regards,
Jeff D.

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,
JPeven 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. -
IPod Touch 5th Gen sound really low when playing movies/tv shows from video app
I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation for my daughter so she can watch her movies and tv shows that i purchased on itunes. On my iPhone 5S, I have no problems with the sound... Loud and clear. However with my new ipod touch, those same movies/tv shoes have really low volume. The sound while using Apps, Games and playing music are all fine. While playing from the video app, headphones are ok too... My problem is the sound from the speaker. I don't understand why all the other functions on the ipod that use sound is OK.
I have already reset my ipod and reset all the settings too... still didnt work. Please help! ThanksThe speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

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. -
Marking podcasts as played from Videos app?
I subscribe to a bunch of video podcasts and view them primarily on my iPhone. I usually sync things up before I go to bed so that I have fresh ones to watch in the morning. Since I subscribe to so many, it would be nice to be able to quickly scan through the listings and get rid of the ones I'm not interested in watching. I can't seem to find a good way to do this in the Videos app in iOS5, though. I've tried deleting them directly from the app, but when I do that they get transferred to my iPhone again the next time I sync. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it seems safe to assume that if I delete it on my phone I wouldn't want it to get transferred over again the next time I sync, right? I was thinking maybe I could just mark the ones I'm not interested in as played instead, but I can't seem to find a way to do this in the app. Anyone know if this can be done?
I'm not sure if Crossfade works with podcasts. Crossfade is broken and causing issues with music playcounts. Disable it in Preferences/Playback and uncheck Crossfade songs to see if it helps with podcasts.

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.

Bug Report iOS 7 iTunes. Since it is repeatable on 3 iPhones and 4 iPads here, I'm sure others are experiencing the same thing. Apple, might want to take a peek at this. When a tv show or movie is deleted from Videos, the Videos app shuts down instead of returning to video playlist.
Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.
Just a bug reportYou might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.

I have a HP-AMD A4-6210 Laptop with Windows 8.1 ... and Videos are not playing from youtube espn etc
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound
Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

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 10.6.8Spoke 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. -
SWF created in CS4 Flash does not play from web server
I published a Flash movie in CS4, which includes the following ActionScript 3.0 code to allow people to click the movie to open a new web page; but it will not play from the web server...however, it plays just fine from my local hard drive in Firefox and IE 7.
It is an html file with an embedded .swf and I made sure to copy over the swfObject.js, AC_ActvieX.js, AC_RunActiveContent.js, expressInstall.swf, and swfobject_modified.js files to the correct directories. The address is: http://www.giseldemarco.com/introduction.html and as you will see, there are no errors...just a blank page. I even tried changing the script from:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
//-->
</script>
to this script: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>, but using this script generates a lot of CSS and other errors.
Nothing works. The ActionScript code I used is:
//Link to website
Site_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,visitSite);
function visitSite(e:MouseEvent):void{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://giseldemarco.com/Home/Index.html");
navigateToURL(req,"_parent");
I am at a loss here...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.Nothing new... Flash developers fall for this all the time...

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.
ThanksDo 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! -
Purchased itunes movies not playing in completion on iphone
I have a purchased movie from itunes and it will not play from start to end without being interrupted and defaulting back to the the video screen.
Apple support had me to this
1. Turn off iphone completlely and reboot. Load up movie, which failed to run properly.
next tried...
2. Remove movie from itunes and reload and resync. Failed again to work properly.
3. The apple supports next suggestion is to find someone that has an iphone and get them to load up a movie from my computer. This I have not done.
I just do not understand why this movie plays fine in itunes but crashes on the iphone.correct me if i am wrong, but you do not get that option to convert movie to ipod/iphone, just to acc that i recall.
