My Ipod 5th Generation stop playing video?

Hello,
My Ipod video was working fine and then one day my video stop working. When I try to the play the same videos that worked last week the ipod locks(black screen) and I have perform the hard reset to get it back. It does still plays the songs and shows pictures? I'm able to show videos in iTunes as well.

Hello charlesm23,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would maybe try removing the videos from your iPod altogether, and then re-syncing them to see if that helps. At least it's a good place to start.

  • New iPod touch just stopped playing videos

    I just got my iPod touch last night and it has been perfect till just now. The mail program froze and after I reset the iPod it won't play video. Not YouTube or ones I uploaded from iTunes. It stays on the opening image, has no sound and won't turn to landscape but says it is playing. I tried reseting it again but no go. Haven't tried connecting to the computer yet but will when I have access. The iPod was being charged with the Apple USB charger when it happened if that means anything.

    I just figured it out. The charger was making it go to tv on. Duh

  • HI!!!HELP?someone............new ipod 5th generation user here....pls

    I bought a new ipod 5th generation (30gig)2 and a half months from now.

    1.) I accidentally/i intended to reset my ipod while still connected to pc (windows xp->how stupid of me.
    2.) After resetting all videos,songs etc... are gone but pic are still in my ipod-> where did they go?deleted perhaps?
    3.) I deleted the itunes, restart my pc and reinstallitunes and again and restart my pc bec itunes no longer recognize my ipod->(itunes says:i need to have an ipod software updater to restore factory settings)
    4.) I go to the apple website to download latest ipod updater then i saved it to: Save to disk
    5.) Then in my pc desktop an icon for adobe:ipodsetup.exe->click it but it says:There was an error opening this document.The file is already open or in use by another application.-> cant understand what it implies...
    6.) So because of that i deleted all the remaining files in my ipod which was MY PICS. so it leaves my ipod no songs etc as in empty as ever.

    WOW, you have a big problem. My first suggestion is to restore your ipod, like btabz said. Other things you could do are 1). Send it in to a electronics store or apple.
    2). Get a new ipod (LAST RESORT)
    3). 5 R's- See http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

  • 5th Gen iPod Classic won't play video

    I've been having a problem getting my 5th gen. iPod to play video podcasts. I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 and os 10.6.4. For about a month or so now my iPod will play a couple videos and then it just stops playing them. It usually finishes playing but then goes to black screen before the next video starts. If I click the pause button the battery indicator shows up at the top and three podcast titles quickly display and then disappear, and then the screen returns to the menu. From that point it won't play any video podcasts; until I resync the iPod then it will play three of four video and quit again until it's resync'd. Even after it stops playing videos it will still play audio podcasts without interruption.
    I've tried restoring my iPod, but I get the same behavior after the restore.

    I have an 80 classic and i started getting new movies and tv shows and my ipod stoped playing movie files. The time i experienced this was May 22, 2009. I loaded the free episode of the Glee Club offered by itunes. Did you ever find out how to fix that. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

  • Why can't I sync my movies onto my ipod 5th generation?

    I have an ipod 5th generation. I just bought the newest macbook pro and started making a few iphoto videos. I transferred these videos to itunes in order to load them onto my ipod. However, itunes won't sync them because they cannot play on this ipod. Why can't they play? Do I need to change the formatting?

  • Help with my addicted Ipod 5th generation!

    My Ipod 5th generation is fully charged but only works if it is charging. When I try to turn it on (in this case it's not charging) the apple sign shows but then it turns off again. I have updated it to see if it would fix the problem but nothing... A couple months ago it reserted by it self... It has gone mental... Or it was brainwashed like when I try to explain to someone what happened. I could only update it now though. Please guys, help me.. I need my music...
    Sincerely
    Luthyn ^.^

  • My macbook has stopped playing videos, why?

    Macbook has suddenly stopped playing videos.  Please help

    Be sure to look at the Settings for Videos, on iPod.  From the main iPod screen, select Videos. At the bottom of the Videos screen, select Settings.  Make sure there is nothing unusual there, particularly in TV Out.

  • How do I Sync All 5,000 of my songs onto my iPod 5th Generation without no problems at all, Most of my songs have the Album Artworks, some are ACC converted but after the "Changes Are Applied", it will say - Songs were not synced. File wasn't convert

    I Am having a problem with syncing 5,000+ songs onto my IPod 5th Generation. Everytime I sync, some songs will either go away or ALL of them will come off my iPod. I have iTunes 12 for Windows, and it has a slow syncing process and it will take days for songs to get on the iPod. It will even say that any of the songs "we're not synced to my iPod because the file wasn't converted..
    I Need help please, I would appreciate it.

    Hey Bryce,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like some songs aren’t being synced to your iPod touch because they aren’t in a compatible format. Can you play those tracks in iTunes? Try selecting the tracks that won’t sync and creating a new version of them with iTunes as shown in the article below.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
    Take care,

  • Whenever i charge my ipod 5th generation i have to move the charger around for about 5 minutes,it doesnt want to charge and switches on and off?

    whenever i charge my ipod 5th generation,i find myself moving the charger around for about 5minutes,the first few months the charger has worked fine now it is playing up,turning on and off charge?

    I would make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. The warranty covers manufacturer's defects. Unfortuantely, if you inadvertantly cause some damage in your wiggling, it could be determined that you broke the port - regardless if it was malfunctioning before or not. Have them look at it and see what they say.

  • My iPod 5th generation has been stolen.

    My iPod 5th generation has been stolen and I don't have my box. Can I get the imei number without using itunes? In itunes, it's showing only the serial number. And they say that iDevices cannot be tracked with serial number.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My iPod 5th Generation is not powering on

    I need your help everyone. My iPod 5thGen is not working. What happened was battery was at around 20% and since I was playing, I decided to charge it. I connected it to the wall outlet but it wasn't doing anything, So I decided to remove the cable and pushed through playing letting the battery drained, And so it did, I connected it again but still no response. I've done the typical reset (holding the power and home button at the same time) but nothing happens. It just happened I think within the day I updated the software, just before christmas of 2014.
    I wanted to have a local Apple store to check it however I'm afraid of how much would it cost. My dad just bought it in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last first week of September of 2014 and came home to Philippines same month and gave it to me. It is, I guess, the latest Ipod 5th Generation because it has Facetime already. He bought it from Jarir Bookstore in Riyadh. I think its still under warranty but how do I prove it to Apple if I don't have its warranty with me?

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
