My Ipod won't play audio on my TV only video!

I've notice that everyone else seems to have a problem playing video on their TVs but not audio... If I play a video I hear audio, but if I want to hear music only I don't hear anything!
I own an Apple Composite AV Cable and it is plugged in correctly, but I can't still play any music. I own a 5th generation Ipod and a Samsung LCD HDTV.
Any suggestions? Should I buy a different cable?

Ive just spent days trying to solve this problem. Ive got an Ipod touch(2nd gen), Samsung TV and a component cable. When playing vids I got both images and sound but as soon as I wanted to just listen to my music and the TV failed to detect video signal - it closed off the component input displaying "no signal".
Its not ideal but if you have the official Component cable and a surround sound set up you should find enough cable to connect the audio cables to the Line in on your surround sound and the video feed back up to the tv.
Im pleased to report I can now enjoy my full library through my home theatre and watch the videos on my big screen tv.
Hope its of some help.

  • ITunes won't play audio with mp4 or mov video

    I have wasted many frustrating hours now trying to get iTunes to play mp4 and mov videos but can't get any sound. A few months back it was working fine. Tried ALL the suggested fixes like uninstalling, updating and checking all the MIME/File boxes. When I went back to QT 7.5 and played the files independently of iTunes everything was fine. Quicktime  7.6, 7.67 & 7.7.1 do not play the audio independently or under iTunes and of course iTunes won't play video with QT less than 7.7.1. The same mp4 videos uploaded to my iPOD work fine. I currently have iTunes 10.5.3.3 installed on a Windows XP SP3 on an e-machines pc. Ideas please!!

    I got this problem as well. Seems as soon as I moved to version 7.6 it stopped playing my video audio. My music plays fine, but my video audio is non-existant. It's not the file itself because I can play off my iPod (though not off my iPod through iTunes) just fine. I've done all the suggestions above and NOTHING has worked. Is there anything else we can find???

  • IPod Won't Play Songs, Videos Reset it, and it's Quite Sluggish

    I have a 30GB video iPod (the old version). Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when the power on my iPod ran out because I fell asleep while listening to it. The next day when I turned it on, it said "Connect to your Computer, Use iTunes to restore" So I promptly did that, and it worked fine until I tried to play a video on it. It showed a blank screen, so I reset it by pressing the Menu and Center buttons. Then it showed the "Connect to your computer" screen again. So I restored it, and it would be fine until it locked up again and showed the "Connect to your computer screen" again. I left it alone for about eight hours, and when I tried turning it back on again, it was back to normal.I've seen that screen probably 10 times in the past 4 days, and I've restored it, just as many times.
    Here's the list of problems I'm having:
    - the iPod won't play some songs when I click on them. It will show the Playing triangle in the upper left corner, but I hear no sound and the seeking bar doesn't move. I'll often have to click the Pause button, then hit it again to Play it, and then it will play the song.
    - The iPod is extremely slow. When dealing with songs or videos, it often takes a minute or more for the iPod to respond to my button clicks. Its hard drive isn't full, though; in fact I'm only using about 2 GB.
    - Videos lock up the iPod. Just about any time I want to play I video on it, it will show a blank screen and won't respond. Then I have to reset it and I get the "Connect to your computer" screen again. These aren't videos in the wrong format or anything, these are the same videos I've been playing on my iPod before with no problems, until recently.
    - Battery life is horrible. Although it hasn't been fully drained yet, judging from the power meter and how long I've been using it after it's fully charged, I'd guess it would only last about 2-3 hours. I would think it should last considerably longer, as the iPod is only about 3 months old.
    Has anybody been experiencing similar problems, or know what I can do to fix it?

    I've still had the same problems, but now when I try and turn on my ipod, it tells me to restore. When I do go to restore, itunes says that it cannot find the file needed to restore my ipod. The ipod itself also tried resetting itself, I guess, made it to the menu that asked what language I wanted it in, and then restarted again. This went on for an hour and a half, and I could't do anything. Is my ipod a lost cause?

  • Repaired screen and now iPod won't play

    I replaced the broken LCD screen in my son's 1st gen black nano. It looks beautiful! There is a problem with the ipod now though. The iPod won't play. Everything works perfectly...screen is bright and beautiful, click wheel works to move through all menus, change volume, etc. You can choose a song, but the song won't play. The little triangle that stands for play is in the top left corner like it wants to play, but the status bar that tells you how long the song is doesn't move at all. You can fast forward through the song manually, but it won't play.
    I have reset the ipod by toggling the hold button and pressing the select and menu choices from the click wheel. I have done the 5 R's that Apple suggests. I have even restored it to original facotry settings. iTunes can see it and re-downloaded all of the music onto it. All of the software on the computer is updated and the ipod software has been updated. Everything works fine except it won't play!
    When I had the iPod open and was working on it, there were 2 ribbon cables that needed to be connected, 1 was the click wheel cable and 1 was the LCD screen cable. I have attached those securely and both are working properly except for the matter that it won't play songs. There was 1 other flat copper cable that seems to be glued to the click wheel that I didn't see in any of the pictures in the repair manual. It's not a ribbon cable. One end is still glued to the click wheel, but the other end is loose. This is probably the problem. I don't remember disconnecting this during the repair, although I know it had to be connected somewhere. I reaches up close to where the earphone jack is. Does anyone have any idea where this flat copper cable is supposed to be connected? I would appreciate any help you can give me! Thanks!

    Here is the URL for the picture of the copper cable. The dark part at the end of the copper cable is a piece of silver metal mesh that is glued on one side of the copper cable. You can see that it is glued at the other end to the back of the click wheel underneath where the battery was glued down. I vaguely remember that it was connected to something else, but I don't remember disconnecting it because I was so intent on getting the ribbon cables disconnected without damaging them.

  • 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

    My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

  • Flash won't play audio. Please help!

    To anyone who can help,
    Flash won't play audio in Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. Downloaded audio plays just fine but I can't stream any flash audio content. Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm experiencing the same problem on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  If I go to YouTube, I don't get audio.  Other websites are fine (I'm not seeing a pattern on exactly which sites).  What I had to do was uninstall Adobe Flash (I used the Adobe Uninstall utility).  Now I have audio on YouTube, but now I'm getting a lot of 'missing plugin' messages from other websites.  I've opened

  • IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

    I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

    Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
    Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
    Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

    My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

    i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

  • My ipod won't play any music

    My ipod won't play music. I tried playing music with and without headphones and when my ipod is in the dock, but it said music was playing except there was no sound. Can anyone help?

    Do the headphones work in another device?
    Does the iPod play any sound?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset . Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Ipod won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • 80G won't play audio books or restore

    I’m the owner of a week old 80G iPod which seemed ok till today. New up to date Win iTunes. Now I try to listen to any audio book that worked yesterday. The iPod seems to go into a auto reset operation, with the apple symbol showing, then returns to the select operation mode. I’ve tried listening more than a dozen times to several different audio books with the same results. All musical MP3s play fine. I tried manual reset with no positive results.
    I tried RESTORE but constantly get a error message that it can’t connect to the server because I need to be connected to the internet??????????? I connect to the Apple store and other sites with no problem. I went to MY computer and tried a quick format and it did nothing, I probably should be grateful!
    I just installed another 390Meg book which installed fine but again won’t play. It will not eject using iTunes or My computer saying it’s in use??????? I've shut it off for various times with the same results.
    HELP I need some direction before I zap it totally. TYIA VIC

    Come on, some hints PLEASE!!!

  • IPod won't play certain songs

    Hi,
    I old iPod died during a firmware upgrade and I went out and bought a fifth gen video iPod. I thought it was great but it is having problems.
    1) When playing through playlists it comes to certain songs that it just won't play. The clock says 0:00 and doesn't advance. One can simply skip the song by moving forwards or backwards or going back to the menu. The songs play just fine in iTunes. However more and more songs are now not playing on the iPod.
    They are not purchased from iTunes but are loaded from CD. So this is not the same problem previously reported. I have started loading songs back from the CDs but I do not want to go through this again a thousand times.
    2) If I listen to songs on the iPod (the ones that work) and assign ratings, the ratings are not transferred back to the iTunes library. Neither does the play count get update. I do not have it set on manual sync.
    I have tried everything in the articles I have found. No luck. I still think the last software for the iPod is a bit flaky...
    Grateful for any ideas.

    I have almost the same exact problem. The songs play fine on my computer (on iTunes) but some will be skipped on the actual iPod. When I attach my iPod and look at its library, the songs don't appear "ghosted" out but some have the little next to them.

    Aren't the songs on your computer?
    As long as the songs are on your computer, you can
    restore your iPod. Or, are the songs not on your
    computer?

    No the songs are not on my computer.I only have a 40gb hard drive and my ipod is 60 GB. I have a new hard drive in the mail but I don't have a good backup as of yet.

  • Ipod won't play any songs

    Ok, had this problem for a couple of week's now and am at my wit's end on it. My 5th Generation video Ipod will not play anything. With both songs and videos, I select one and it shows the play icon but just sits there with the time at 0:00 almost as if it were paused. I can fast forward through the song but wherever I tell it to play it just sits there. No sound or anything.
    The weird thing is that I can play the songs off of my Ipod in Itunes or hooking it up via USB to another device like my xbox 360 just fine. It's just the Ipod itself that won't play anything.
    I am using the latest version of Itunes and have tried both resetting and completely restoring my Ipod several times, all with the same result.
    Has anyone else run into this or have another solution that might help me?
    Thanks.

    I had my ipod little over 2 years and now it will only charge!!!
    the songs dont play at all on my ipod and it makes a weird sound when it wants to play then after a while of skipping songs it wont play and just freezes..
    When i come to restoring the setings on the computor it just says that it is being used by another application and wont allow me to restore..
    any suggestions?
    would be much appreciated x

  • My iPhone 4's ringer or alerts, texts emails videos on YouTube or iPod won't play sounds however when I get a call the sound is loud an clear. I know it's not a problem with the speakers. It once said that it was connected to a tv when connected to dock.

    Recently my iPhone 4's sounds are going haywire. I have a Jensen radio iPod dock that I hooked it up to earlier on in the week(first time too) and when it played a song, my iPhone said that this video was being played on a television. Since then the ringer(at times) along with my texts, you tube videos and iPod on my iPhone won't play music through the speakers. However sometimes my ringer comes through. Same as alarms. When I try to adjust the volume settings it doesn't do anything. My speakers work fine. It's just getting it to recognize its not being played on a tv anymore that is annoying.
    Does anyone have any clue what to do?
    Thanks

    DaVBMan, thanks for that post. That clears up something for me. I think I have experienced that funny noise as well. It sounds like a Morse Code message. I have heard that same noise while at Church on it's PA speaker system. When I heard this, I figured the speakers were picking some radio frequency noise, but I couldn't understand what exactly it was. When I purchased my iPhone, I already had an old cable, stereo jack on one end and RCA plugs on the other. I noticed the same noise on my speakers. So, I am figuring if I replace the cable, I should be fine.
