My ipad2 says it cant play video from itunes

I have an ipad 2 and it will not sync video that was downloaded from itunes. It tells me that it did not sync the videos because they cannot be played on the ipad. It is doing the same thing to my iphone. I really want to watxh movies on my devices and i dont know what to do!!!

Weird if the video came from iTunes.  Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Quicktime 7 not playing videos from Itunes...

    So recently I noticed my Quicktime 7 has been acting strange. It used to play all my videos flawlessly... it still does, although i've noticed movies bought from the itunes store wont play anymore. When I try to open the file on QT 7 I get the black screen but then It exits out and I get the "Quicktime 7 Has Quit Unexpectedly" and I get the Kern_Protection_Failure log ( whatever that is) It's weird, before every file i tried worked perfectly, but now I cant get them to play.... Is There any fix to this or has Quicktime 7 completely stopped supporting movies/videos from Itunes? ******Oh, by the way They DO however play in Quicktime X****** I''m running 2009 macbook pro 13-inch OSX 10.6.8 and All software is up to date. It's getting frustrating. I've looked all over but no luck. Any Help Would be appreciated. Thanks

  • No sound when playing video from iTunes on a Satellite M45

    Hi,
    After trying to play a video from iTunes on a Toshiba Satellite M45, the entire sound system went out. I think there is something wrong with the sound drivers or it/they can't be detected. I'm new to the PC world and any help in easy-to-understand terms will be grateful. Is there any destinations where I can download a new driver.
    I need to fend off the insanity that's creeping in. Thanks.

    Hi
    I think you should firstly check the device manager if there are any yellow exclamation marks near to the sound card.
    If yes so the sound driver reinstallation could help.
    It seems that the notebook was designed for the US market. (because of the 5 at the end of the number)
    So I think you should take a look on the US Toshiba site for driver updates.

  • Cant play video from MSN mobile

    When I try to view a video from MSN mobile I get the following message:
    The protocol specified is not supported by the handheld.
    Any ideas on how to view them?

    There have been a few reports of the third-party DivX player interfering with some video sites. Do you have that one installed? If so, make sure it's the latest version. If the latest version doesn't help, temporarily disable DivX for testing.

  • IPad & iPhone only play video from iTunes store after iOS7 upgrade

    I just noticed that my iPad and iPhone can only play content from the iTunes store now that I have upgraded them to iOS7.  They can not even play videos that my iPhone recorded before the upgraded.  They are also not able to play videos that I RIPPED from DVD's using Handbrake.    It had no problem playing any of this content before upgrading.  I can still play the videos though iTunes just fine.  And my old iPhone that is still on iOS6 plays the videos just fine. Does anyone know of a work around to get iOS seven devices to play video that is not from the iTunes store?

    Thanks tried that as well as a full restore of the iPhone.  This seems to be by design.  ITunes will not even sync the files to the iOS7 devices now.  Says the files will not be copied because they can not be played, but my iOS6 devices can sync them and play them.

  • Easy fix to play video from itunes on PC

    OK Everyone who has the same problem of playing videos on a PC, and after a couple of seconds, your computer either crashes, or freezes/plays choppy, here is a very easy fix. I actually found it by reading other posts, and I can not remember who tried it first, so sorry to who it is that I can't give you credit, but thank you very much. All you need to do is have an external hard drive like what I am using (WD 160gig Passport). Copy your movie/tv shows files from your itunes file folder in your music folder on your computer harddrive to the external harddrive. Then just play it FROM your external harddrive using Quicktime, and it will work flawlessly! I don't know why it will not play from your computer, but it works with all videos from the external drive. Now go watch some movies!

    Buy yourself a small set of speakers that plug into the headset jack of your iPod. Lots of options out there. It's simple and straightforward.

  • Can't play videos from iTunes store after switching machines

    Symptom: my iTunes Library lives on an external drive. Recently I needed to send my primary MacBook Pro in for repair, so I authorized my backup machine successfully and used it in the interim. Upon the return of my primary machine, I did a fresh OS X install from the DVD (using the option to copy over my home directory from the backup machine in target disk mode), then used Software Update to install iTunes 7.2. The problem is that TV shows purchased from the Apple Store will no longer play on the primary machine, though they will on the backup. Double-clicking on their titles simply does nothing. In addition, TV shows cannot be added to the library after having been removed, and trying to open them in QuickTime Player causes that program to quit silently.
    Music, including purchased music, plays fine. The file paths shown in iTunes for the video files are correct, and permissions look right as far as I can tell. iTunes claims that it has been authorized successfully, though I have tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing it a few times just to be safe. I can't think of what else I could be missing. Any ideas?

    Update your Quicktime to v7.1.6.

  • Playing video from iTunes on a laptop onto a 16:9 LCD TV

    Hi, I rented a movie from the Apple Store onto my Lenovo PC and played it back onto a 16:9 LCD TV. My laptop and the TV were connected using a male-male serial port connector. When I play the movie on the laptop in iTunes, it displays black bars above and below the movie on the laptop; and, since the entire display of the laptop is being shown on the LCD TV, the black bars show up on the LCD TV also. I am trying to figure out how I can get the movie which is playing in iTunes to take up the entire computer screen so that the LCD TV can also show the movie full screen.
    Is there a way to do this? Does the AppleTV also have the same problem?

  • While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    Try to download the application VLC.
    It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
    In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

  • Playing video from iPad to TV

    I bought the AV cable at the Apple store yesterday and tried it out. I can play
    video from the Video app, the Netflix app, and the YouTube app without a
    problem. But I can't play anything from the ABC app or the Hulu Plus app (the
    free stuff - I'm not subscribed yet) or the HGTV app. I get sound, but no
    picture. Anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?

    I just tried to watch from the ABC Player on the TV, doesn't work. The app description in the app store doesn't indecate you can watch it on a TV. And there nowhere on the app to switch viewing from the iPad to the TV. So, I would say you can't view this on a TV.

  • I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
