Music Video issues

I'm having an irritating issue with my Ipod. Someone help me, please.
I bought a music video from Itunes and downloaded it and everything. I played it a few times and enjoyed watching it, but now when I click on it and try to play it the video plays like a song. I hear the music just fine, but I can't watch it. Nothing pops up. When I click on it the video shows up, but looks like it does on Itunes- the picture is there with it like a song. It doesn't play the VIDEO part of it. The screen even goes dark like it does when I play a normal song.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I reall want to watch the video again!
Thanks!

Im not sure if hte Video iPod works in the same way as the Classic, but are you actually accessing the video from the music section? If so, then yes, only the audio will play. You have to go to the Video/Music Video section for the video itself to play.

ITunes Music Video Issues

I am having an issue and I am not sure if it is common or may be a bug in iTunes.
I have about 100 music videos on my iTunes. All of them minus one are YouTube rips/encodes via iSquint or rips from DVDs via HandBrake. One of them is a Vingle purchased off the iTMS. I have all of the vids in their own playlist and this problem only happens in the playlist. If I have the Control settings set with Shuffle on, then the only song that will get played is the Vingle. If I press skip, it just continues to play the Vingle over and over again. If I start with another track then either skip or let it go on its own, the next song played is always the Vingle and once again, skip just restarts the Vingle. However, if Random is turned off, they play fine and it goes though each song in order as it should.
I am using the most recent version of iTunes.
What exactly is going on here?
TIA

Sounds as if you have the "Skip when shuffling option" turned on for most of the music videos.
Go to Get Info>Options and uncheck "Skip when shuffling".

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

ITunes having issues with music videos

I recently bought an album with some music videos in it and iTunes is having some issues playing them correctly. The audio is not in sync with the video. Seconly, the audio does not sound correct, it is making a skipping sound as if the audio is from a CD that has a scratch on it.
I know that this issue is with how iTunes is playing it back, because when I play it in another video program it works fine.
Just in case it will help, I am running iTunes 11.1.3.8

Are the videos the right kind of files to play in itunes? If not they need to be converted.
Not sure if I am allowed to mention the software needed to convert so you may have to use google to find that.

I can't sync the Not Afraid music video that I purchased this morning to my iPod Classic. It's frustrating because I have no issues syncing other videos and the rest of the album that this video came with synced just fine. Please help!

You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Issue with nano and music video playlist

Hello, I have two ipods, a video and a nano. I have a playlist for music videos for the video ipod. To keep them separate I checked "manually manage musc" and checked "sync music" and "selected playlist. I've checked all the playlist, except music video. Under my music, not all the songs in my library show up unless I don't have "manually manage music" checked. What should I do to have certain playlists show up and have all my songs in my library show up? Thanks in advance.

Also, the music videos show up on my summary. How do I get those off as well?

Music & Video Sync issue with multiple computers

I sync my phone to multiple computers, one primarily for the ical and the other primarily for the music/video. Problem is, when I sync to my macbook pro (the ical & address book) I have the music sync turned off but it still wipes out ALL my music and videos! When I resync to my imac (the music & video) it puts the media right back on the phone of course.
Why does it wipe away my data? I tell it not to sync and it still wipes out my phone. It's quite annoying since it takes a while for the phone to re-sync 6-7 gigs of audio and video, not to mention if I'm not by my imac I have no A/V on my phone till I resync. The A/V functions are the reason most people buy the thing in the first place, I'm surprised its so un-userfriendly in this case.
any suggestions?
thanks,

I managed to get this done tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't see a solution posted anywhere, so maybe I'm the first. I did this with an iPhone, not an iPad, but I imagine the process is the same.
Step 1) Copy the contacts to the right profile. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286044
Step 2) Back up your device.
Step 3) Start outlook and change the default profile to the one you want to use.
Step 4) Restore the device to it's original settings using the Restore button on the summary page.
Step 4) After the restore, it asks which backup you want to recover, pick the one you just did.
Now, if for some reason, it asks for an outlook profile during the restore, pick the right one. I was asked this go-round, but not when I originally started syncing the phone. Go figure.
Restoring to it's original settings could cause some sort of data loss. I don't care about any game saves, and I just sync with my gmail, so my contacts were really all I was concerned about. This process did recover 5 gigs of space eaten up by unexplained "other" data in my phone. Maybe it was cached e-mails, maybe it was old apps that didn't uninstall properly, who knows. But my apps, my e-mail, my contacts, my notes, my text messages and my calendar are all in place.
I have read that the default profile can be changed after the first sync, but in my situation, I wanted my outlook to default to this profile anyways.
Hopefully this will pop up in a google search for the next person who runs into this problem. It sure was a headache for me.

Music Video and song Issue

Hey I was wondering If there is an Option That I am missing or a bug but for my iPhone i have one playlist that has some songs and music videos combined in it. On my iPhone when i click on songs all of the music videos and songs come up but when play a music video i don't get the video and i just get the Sound. but in the video section i just get the Music Videos. is there a way to get rid of the music videos in the songs section.
Thanks.

You would need to remove the music videos from the playlist in itunes and re-sync the iphone.
If that does not help, there is a checkbox, called include music videos, on the music tab in itunes, when the iphone is connected, that you can uncheck.

Music video playback issue with 10.4

Previous to Lion and iTunes 10.4 if I was view a playlist in coverflow and one of the songs was a video this video would play full screen and when it was finished iTunes would return cover flow and continue to flow through the playlist. In 10.4 after the music video finishes I am either returned to the desktop if I was previously on the normal full screen iTunes view or retuned to the coverflow with it not tracking the songs, if viewing coverflow in full screen. Any idea on how to make it work?

Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

Music\video playlist - Screensaver issues

Before the last apple tv 2 update, I used to be able to have a music/video playlist play for a party and have the screensaver display pictures while playing music, then when a video would play the screensaver would automatically switch off and play the video.
After the update the music video will not overide the screensaver. The sound will play for the video but it will be stuck on the screensaver and not break out of it until I hit the menu button on the remote. Any ideas?

Can anyone verify this with the latest apple tv 2 update that came out?

Only one music video purchased from itunes is not playing on IPod

I purchased several music videos from itunes and they all seem to sync to my ipod just fine but one of them will not play. The other three I purchased is playing fine both visual and audio but only one will not play at all. When I click on it, the screen just goes black and after several seconds, returns me to the menu listing the name of the video. It plays on my daughter's ipod just fine and we both have the same IPod. I've tried to re-sync and reset but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me. Thx!

It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

How do I play iTunes Music Videos on my PC

I bought a music video on my iPad and want to play it on my Laptop.
I can't find anywhere on iTunes on my Laptop where that option comes up. I can search the same music video on the iTunes store on my laptop and it comes up for sale again.
I used to play them on my PC all the time, but haven't tried it in a year. Did the support for this get removed from iTunes for some reason?
Yes, I have already asked it to sync purchases.
Not sure if anyone else is having issues, but I've had more problems since I upgraded to iOS 8 and all the subsequent versions of 8 than I've ever experienced upgrading Windows on a PC, since they came out with Windows ME. Certain features in a bunch of apps stopped working, video playback freezes all the time (this is on an iPad 4), and stuff that I have just bought, regularly comes up telling me that I haven't purchased it, even though I have a receipt for it.
HELP! I really wish I could roll back to iOS7.X, even 8.1 really, really *****!

This is for the people at Apple: The iPhone is fantastic and has changed my life, but please work on
enabling iPhone users to view continuous music videos like iPod users can.

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

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.
