My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?

You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

  • I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.  Help!

    I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. 
    I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic.  What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod?  I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested.  It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content. 
    Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include.  So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play.  HELP

    iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include."  So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play.  HELP  Very frustrating.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

    I have just purchased an iphone today and it is coming up with a picture on the screen of the usb connector and itunes symbol. It also says that I now have no service and can only make emergency calls

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • Hello.  My ipad2 will not open embedded YouTube videos.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?  I'm using wifi for my Internet connection, if that makes a difference. Thank you.

    With Facebook, and most of YouTube being used to host "non-proprietary" videos uploaded by their owners, it allows these sites to display these videos directly in the browser using html5.
    The problem arises on youtube and facebook when you try and view a "Music Video" or any other "proprietary" video or audio. These videos must be displayed using what's called DRM (digital rights management), to protect the video or audio owner from theft.
    This is why videos watchable in the browser on your pc, mac, or android device are not watchable on any ios device, because the videos require Flash to be played,
    As an easy test, go to youtube on your pc, mac, or android device and doa search for eminem. You will see that alot of videos that come up will not come up on your ios device, or even in the ios youtube app.
    Some of the reason for this as well is that the content owners have "banned" the viewing of their content on mobile, due mostly to slower connections disrupting their advertising.
    This is easily remedied on android by setting the browser to "desktop" viewing.
    You're best bet when trying to watch videos online from an ios device is to look for an app instead, or pay for the "flash workarounds" offered through ios.

  • New ipad2 will not connect to itunes

    I just purchased an ipad2.  I'm attempting to connect it to my itunes account.  I have an ipad which has connected to the account on the same computer with no problems.  I just updated iTunes to the latest 10.3 version.

    After 2+ hours on phone with an Apple tech, he decided I have an iPad problem. Will return to Verizon today.  Not a good intro to the 2.  Love the original iPad, though, so will stay on it.

  • New iPad2 will not sync with iTunes 9.2.1.

    Have tried every thing but it will not sync. I'm running iMac 10.4.11 and cannot run the latest iTunes because it requires 10.5 to run. Have I purchased something which I cannot use.

    I don't know how easy it is to upgrade Macs as I've only had mine a short time (so probably know more than me), hopefully somebody on here will have suggestions for the best way to do so - so I don't know whether you need this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC680Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTk0MjIyNz c&s=topSellers, or whether you can get away with this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTc1MTEzNj Y&s=topSellers (one of the questions/answers below it implies that it's ok)

    Changing the extention name will not help. You either need to use a Video od Media converter or else download and use VLC Player (free) which plays many video formats that Quicktime cannot.
