My iPod doesn't display certain videos, it only plays the sound.

The files are in .mp4 format. I have them in my iTunes as well. I tried to play them in there and I have the same problem. However, in iTunes the files have a thumbnail picture. I have managed to play all of the files in Media Player. They work fine with that.
How do I get the picture back?

If these files do not play properly in iTunes, then that indicates a problem with the actual file.  Did you use any sort of video conversion software to create these MP4's?  If so, what program was it?  Perhaps you should re-encode them to MP4 again using another great program such as Handbrake.

    What do you see instead of video, bobby? A green screen, pretty colors, something else?

  • Firefox is suddenly only playing the sound and a distorted mess of color where the video should be

    I usually have no problems with watching flash video on my computer but out of the blue it now only plays the sound without error and displays a mess of indistinguishable colors where the picture should be

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound.  How can I fix this?

    Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound.   The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays.   How can I fix this?

    Is this using a specific app or apps?  Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

  • HT1349 I recently upgraded my iPad to the ios5 and now my already downloaded videos will only play the music with no video, any suggestions?

    I recently upgraded my IPAD to the ios5 and now my already downloaded music videos only play the music and no video plays. any suggestions?

    When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

  • HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

    My  IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

    Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod  can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
    Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?

  • Videos don't play the sound/music on my iPod.

    Hi,
    I converted my videos, and everything, and when I try to play it on my iPod the video will play, but no music/sound to it.

    How was the video converted? Many videos have two seperate tracks - one for the visual and one for the sound. If you use something like Quicktime Pro (or even itunes sometimes) it will only convert the video track, the sound stays at a codec that itunes doesn't support. You may want to try converting with a program like Handshake or isquint.
    There are a lot of posts regarding this problem, might want to try and search those first.

  • IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

    I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
    I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
    I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks.

    I recently made another DVD with the same settings that turned out fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is with this one.
    Thanks.

  • How could I fix a podcast video that only plays the audio?

    My series of videos submitted to itunes podcast play fine except one, that only the audio plays but no video, how could I fix this?

    Post a link like this so people can easily right-click and download the feed to take a look at it or copy/paste URL into post.

    After looking at the 803 KB file you can see (well, hear) that the m4v file is only audio. http://www.40dayusa.com/photos/339485388_6Fv5j-640.mp4
    This might have happened during movie export or file upload to server. After checking that the video plays in QT player locally re-upload the file to the correct directory with audio+video.

  • For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

    my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
    thanks

    A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore.  It does not erase the iPod.  A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
    The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF.  It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls.  The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
    Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF.  But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle).  I just stop playing music and leave it alone.  The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

    My preview shows first three lines of email, but when I chose the email specifically mail doesn't display any lines of text.  Been this way for about ten days.  Please help.  Ben

    Awesome.  Rebooting the phone worked.  I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown).  thank you for your help.
