Music & video content unavailable

I've got a 16 gig iPod Touch, 3g. Randomly, and for no apparent reason, the iPod will tell me that there is "no content" when I try to listen to music or watch a video. Apps all work fine. This has happened a few times over the course of the last 2 months, but syncing the iPod always seemed to solve the problem.
It's recently gotten worse, and I restored the device then used a recent backup to replace the data. That worked for about 1 week. Tonight I used iTunes to sync & charge my iPod and when I ejected it and tried to listen to a song I discovered the content was gone again. I deleted all backups, wiped the device and restored, then loaded all of my music & videos back on. And guess what?? Still "no content".
Any ideas out there?--sw

I'm getting this problem too every time I connect the itouch to itunes. Currently have apps but no music, audiobooks, podcasts or video. Have reset ipod twice now (which is a real pain as I manually synch as more data than space on itouch) and tonight it's all gone again. Why does this keep happening? I have the latest sofware installed?
HELP!

IPhone not recognizing music & video content

Just after updating to iOS4 my iPhone suddenly stopped recognizing its audio and video content (the ipod app reports 'no content'). However, it does recognize that it has that amount of drive space occupied by "Other" items (when viewed in iTunes.) Strangely when in iTunes the media content can be accessed on the phone.
Also whenever I reconnect the iPhone to the imac, iTunes reports that it can't read the content and requires that the phone be restored. This I have done 3 times now all to no effect.
Can't seem to find any similar problems on the forums, any bright ideas on what might have gone wrong and how to fix it? can only think it has something to do with the new iPhone OS...
Thanks!

I have the same issue. I updated my OS to OS 4, then synced my music and apps. I can see the music in iTunes when I browse my iphone when it is connected to my MacBook Pro, but the "iPod" app shows no content and none of the buttons to respond to touching on that app. To test I bought a song and it was downloaded and it still says I have no content.

Preparing Music Video for Broadcast in Premiere and Encore?

I am trying to prepare a music video for broadcast in Premiere Pro. However, the specs require audio (Ch. 1-2 stereo, Ch. 3 mono Ch. 4 mono). I can't find a way to do this in Premiere Pro. I seem to be able to do this in Encore - I can create four audio tracks.
Problems so far:
1. I can only import the stereo wav file onto track 1, and have to import it again on track 2. The stereo mix isn't spread across both tracks Left/Right. Will the stereo mix appear on the correct tracks when delivered for broadcast?
2. I need to export the video as an mpeg 2 on my hard drive - not actually burn to disc. Can I export an mpeg 2 video file without burning to disc?

I am delivering the master as an mpeg 2, uploaded by FTP.
Here are the audio specs:
Stereo Left and Right audio signals must appear on channel 1 and 2 respectively
Dolby ProLogic matrixed audio (Lt /Rt) may be substituted for Stereo audio on channel 1 and 2 if desired
Monaural audio may be substituted for Stereo on channels 1 and 2, but must appear on both channels and must be in-phase.
Secondary Audio Program (SAP) if available, must appear on Channel 3, otherwise a mono mix of Channels 1 and 2 should appear on Channel 3.
Descriptive Video Service (DVS) audio, if available, must appear on Channel 3 if delivered in lieu of SAP audio
DVS must appear on Channel 4 if delivered in addition to SAP audio, otherwise a mono mix of channels 1 and 2 should appear on channel 4.
So basically, I need a Left and Right stereo on Ch. 1 and 2. And mono on 3 and 4, because I don't have SAP or DVS content.
I can create 4 audio tracks in Encore, then I import my stereo wav file and mono wav file. But when I drag the stereo wav file onto audio track 1, both channels of the stereo wav file are on track 1. I read in Encore's help files that (assuming this would be going to DVD and not an mpeg on my hard drive) only one audio track can play at a time. Each individual audio track appears to be stereo, but I don't know how they would each correspond with the requirement for Ch. 1 to be stereo left and Ch. 2 to be stereo right. As of right now, it appears that track 1 is both left and right, and I can import the same stereo wav file on track 2 seperately with both left and right audio.
The specs I'm trying to meet are Viacom/MTV which is a major outlet for music video content, so I'm assuming their requirements are reasonable enough.
As for making an MPEG2 from Encore without burning a disc, here is the format:
Container: MXF OP1a (SMPTE 378M)
Resolution: 1920x1080i (interlaced) 16x9 aspect ratio
Encoding: MPEG2, High Profile@ High Level 4:2:2, 50Mbps Long GOP, CBR, 29.97 frames per second (59.94 fields per second)
Audio: Uncompressed 2-, 4-, 12- or 16-channel audio, 24bit @48khz, BWF (SMPTE 382M). All audio channels must be contained within 1 MXF track.
Not sure how to export from Encore - only options I am seeing involve burning to DVD or Blu-Ray.
I really appreciate your help thus far!

My brand-new 11" MacBook Air skips thru my music video library without streaming them.

I just purchased an 11" MacBook Air. When I try to play a music video that is in the cloud, iTunes goes to the play screen as usual, but instead of streaming the content it jumps thru my entire music video library without to the playing anything. The name of each video is displayed for about a second, then the next name, and so on. No content is displayed. It will play a video that is already downloaded the machine as normal. I've rebooted the machine and rebooted iTunes, also I was able to stream the music video content in my library from another machine with no problem. Also, movies and TV shoes seem to work fine, but they are downloaded content and not streaming.
Thanks,
Ed.

How can I transfer voice memos from my iPhone 4 without syncing and having all music/video/audiobook content deleted from my phone?

I would like to be able to transfer several very long voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC. They are too long to email to myself. I manage music manually, so the phone doesn't sync automatically. I have also not checked off "include voice memos" in my music sync preferences because of a warning that pops up which suggests that I will lose all the music, video & audiobook content on my phone and that it will be replaced with all iTunes content. (Several of the audiobooks on my phone were transferred in directly from my library system's audiobook service & I will lose them permanently if they are wiped off the phone.) Is there a way around this? I am able to transfer photographs directly to my computer because my PC recognizes the iPhone as an external disk and I was able to locate the photo folder, but I have no idea of where to look for the voice memo folder in order to transfer them in the same manner. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Can I split iTunes library (video content on one machine, music on another)

I am running out of space on my MacBook Pro.
Is there a way I can keep all the music in the iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, and then move all my video content (which has almost filled all the drive space on the laptop) to my Mac Pro?
So basically have 2 different locations for iTunes content?
Thank you.

Perhaps it is possible. I am researching the same issue as you stated. See the URL below and see if it helps you.

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Music and Video Content Disappears After Transfer From itunes

Hi
I am experiencing a very strange issue so I hope someone can help or has at least experienced this themselves.
I have my iphone set up so I manually manage/sync music ans content. For the last 2 weeks everytime I transfer music and video to my iphone it disappears after I eject the device from itunes. When transferring the content this works as expected and I can see the tracks being transferred. If I then go into my music library while the iphone is still connected to my laptop I can see and play music on the iphone.
As soon as I eject the device (in the recommended way) my iphone music library shows no content what so ever it has vanished. If I then reconnect the iphone to itunes, on the iphone summary screen it seems to show there is content on the iphone as the GB capacity bar is filled up with whatever I have put on their but no content is visible on the iphone.
Interestingly if I download a podcast or music directly onto the iphone this stays on there.
This is driving me mental has anybody else experienced this and if so know how to fix it?
Thanks
Chris

I'm having the same issue and haven't found anything on how to fix it other than restoring my phone. Won't be doing that. Hopefully this bumps it back to the top and someone will have an answer.

Music videos won't airplay from imac to apple tv all other content including movies will???

title say it all, cheers

I think it's something to do with playing to multiple sources from imac (imac + apple tv) songs work fine but when a music video comes on it switches to imac only and cant then be sent to apple tv without first disabling multiple sources.

Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos from iCloud not showing up in Videos app

So I just did a reset on my iPhone because the movie artwork for the movie Love Actually was a picture of Adele's album artwork and it really bothered me. All the other movies in the Videos app was fine, they all matched to their respective titles. So I did a reset hoping that would fix that tiny minor issue but after doing the reset and restoring, None of the movies I've purchased in the past are showing up. All it says is "No Content. You can download videos from the iTunes Store." And I did go into the Videos settings to make sure "Show All Videos" is being set to on (green) but it still did nothing, none of my movies, tv shows, or music videos are showing up in the cloud. This really irritates me because I had one small issue that I was hoping to fix but now a new problem has risen and it's going to bug the **** out of me more than the original problem did. I tried turning it off and turining it back on, signing in and out of iTunes account, and pressing the power button and the home button at the same time, but still nothing from iCloud has appeared, Is anybody else having this issue? FYI, I also have the latest update 7.0.4 but I don't think that should have caused this issue. If anybody knows a solution, please let me know because as you can see, I'm very OCD about this, I like to see all my videos in the Videos app.

This was driving me nuts, but I figured it out. Here's how to fix:
1) Create (or find) a thumbnail image that represents the series to you (I put text over a screenshot) in Photoshop or whatever you like to use, and put it on the clipboard
2) In iTunes, select all the episodes from your series in the TV Shows view, right click, and select "Get Info"
3) On the first tab ("Info") click in the artwork field, then paste in the thumbnail
4) THIS IS THE KEY STEP - With your iPad plugged into your Mac, go to the TV shows tab and uncheck "Sync TV Shows" and then apply the new settings, and say okay when it tells you all your TV shows will be removed from your iPad
5) After the sync is complete, check to make sure all your TV shows are gone (in the video app, there shouldn't even be a tab for TV Shows)
6) In iTunes, check Sync TV Shows again, then apply
Once the sync is complete, your TV Shows will hopefully show up with good thumbnails.
The issue seems to be that once a file has been copied over, updating the thumbnail image in iTunes will NOT force an update on the iPad, and in the TV Shows view there are no captions on the main screen. You have to delete all the files to wipe the DB on the iPad.

Cannot delete from Music Videos

cannot delete items from the [Music Videos] play list. The file do not exist anymore on the disk (I get the ! icon) still cannot delete the item.
Redefining the [Music Videos] does not help, the files does note show up in the movies folder to delete them
Any help is appreciated
iPod 8GB Windows XP Pro

Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES. Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod. Click on Music there. Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu. You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit. You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.

How can I use a DVD of my band playing a song to create a Premiere 11 music video?

Hi Everybody,
I've been making a couple of music videos on Adobe Premiere 11 by the usual way of loading in a music track and then adding photos and an occasional live video segment (with the sound of that video segment turned off). Now however, I have a DVD with both music and video of my band playing a song in a club. I'd like to load it into Premiere 11 so as to make it into a music video that also has a title screen at the beginning and one at the end (as I've done before on my other Premiere 11 music videos that I created). After, I'd plan on uploading the Premiere 11 music video to YouTube.
My question: What steps would I use to load the DVD of both live video and live music into Premiere 11, that's on my laptop, so as to make a music video out of it on my Adobe software?
I'd appreciate any feedback, especially since I'm kinda new at using Premiere 11.
Thanks!
Bob

Bob
Based on your description initially or latest report, I am interpreting your description as an easy can do in Premiere Elements 11.
It would be good to know what is on the DVD disc (DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc or some video files burned to the DVD disc as data disc).
But, either way, your answer to using the DVD disc content as source media in your Premiere Elements 11 project is as follows....
1. Insert the DVD disc in the burner tray.
2. Open Premiere Elements 11 to its Expert workspace.
3. Go to Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer.
4. In Video Importer, assure that the Source field at the top is targeted at your drive with the disc in it
a. you should see your video files on the DVD....if DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then you need the check marks next to
VTS_01_1.VOB and so on in the series of that file, such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Each file, except maybe the
last one should have a file size of 0.99 GB. If instead someone has burned a bunch of video files (.mov, .mp4....) to a DVD disc
as data disc, then you will find a bunch of files .mov, mp4 to which you will apply a check mark.
b. In the Video Importer dialog, have a check mark next to Add to Timeline, then hit Get Media which will put the file(s) in Project Assets and on the Timeline.
Please review and consider and then let us know if the above targeted what you asked.
Thank you.

Add On...More details are relevant such as project preset - you setting it manually versus the project setting it automatically.
But, we will save that for next time if we are on the right track for your overall task.

How do I add a music video to my iPhone without adding all of them?

I have fiddled around with iTunes, and I can't figure out how to add just one or two Music Videos to my iPhone.
Any ideas?

Hi there William Donelson,
It sounds like you want manually manage the music videos on your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for information on how to do this.

Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
Thanks for any advice,
Chris.

Chris
Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
situation.
Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.
Thank you.
