My mini IPad won't run videos I bought or took with it. It will not play music I bought either; but it did up to 2  days ago?

Can anyone explain why my new IPad won't play films bought or taken with the IPad ,they stay static like a picture. music bought on ITune won't play either. Is there à simple solution for this? it was working fine this morning.

Hi Arlene,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPad help the issue?

If not, we may want to restore your iPad using a computer with iTunes.

    My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    Music plays in the Music app - not iTunes. Videos play in the Videos App - not in the Music App. Is that what you are doing? If you are using the correct apps for the appropriate content - quit the apps and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes

    Need assistance with recent upgrade.  I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
    The internet plugin folders are at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    (~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
    My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
    Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
    They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

  • ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

    This is a specific user account issue.  If I create a new account I do not have this issue.  That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
    Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine. 
    If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device).  It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac.  I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
    When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
    When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
    If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
    If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine. 
    If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
    Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.  
    The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it. 
    I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue. 
    It's maddening! 
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
    Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
    Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
    There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
    I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it.  This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before.  Select the AppleTV is silently ignored. 
    Highly frustrating.  I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values.  No human discernable difference between the working and not working files.  At this point I defintely want to file a bug report. 

  • Itunes will not play music, I am running windows 7 64 bit

    Itunes does not play any of the song that I have in my itunes library, I am running Windows 7 64 Bit on my desktop. 

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • The video I took with my iphone will not burn to a playable DVD

    Why can`t I burn the Video I took with my iphone to a playable DVD that works in DVD players. Made a video, put it on my computer then added to my library. Created playlist, selected "Burn to Disc" but only creates a data DVD. I need to know how to burn my Video to a DVD-RW that will play in any DVD player.
    Thanks For Any Help!

    There has got to be somebody wih an answer on how I can`t or can burn a dvd in itunes of my own home made video.
    I have found something about idvd, but why would that be the only option? itunes should have the capability to burn to dvd (a playable dvd)your personal videos insted of buying different software. Otherwise it`s only good for music. Why have an iphone? Why not buy a camera and the software to burn pics or video to what ever you want. This makes itunes obsolete in  my mind. Windows media player as well. I downloaded itunes to our computers because we have iphones. Now it`s just limited to burning music, insted you have to buy more software to make it possible to burn playable dvd`s of personal vidoes and pics,? that should already be included in itunes. itunes should be able to reconize licensed products over personal videos downloaded from a persons iphone.

  • ITunes 11 will not play music or video. Stuck at 0:00

    Randomly, when I try to play either music or video in iTunes 11.0.5, the status of the interface goes to 'playing', but nothing ever plays - both video and music are stuck at 0:00.  Starting and stopping doesnt help and now my 87Gb of m4a lossless encoding is useless.
    Any ideas how to kick start iTunes into playing?
    Its also affecting quick-view in the Finder... perhaps a Mac OS X bug too??? Im running 10.8.4 on a MBP.
    Regards,
    Andy

    This could be a problem with iTunes or QuickTime Player plug-ins, try testing with iTunes in Safe Mode by holding Option and Command while launching iTunes.

  • My Sony clock radio has iPod support. It played and charged my old iPod touch 2g. I got a 4g today and it will only play music on the dock, but it won't charge.

    It's all in the title

    Try the standard fixes 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 settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I suspect you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPad recently stopped running video from websites and itunes store samples

    my ipad won't run video from websites (ex. CNN just shows a still and no way to start), youtube just has the spinng timer as does itunes when I'm trying to get a song sample. Suggestions? These worked fine amonth ago.

    Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Close every app. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds 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.

  • Video Attachments will not play within the mail program.

    When trying to view a video attachment from within the mail program it will not play the video. It loads the sound but not the video. This started after a recent apple software update. It is happening on several computers also so it is not an isolated problem. Seems to be a "quicktime" issue. I can download them and play them through quicktime but not while in "mail" like I used to be able to do.
    I use "Flip-4-Mac" to view some windoze videos (wmv).

    It's a conflict between QuickTime 7.5.5 and Flip4Mac. Not much you can do but wait for the Flip4Mac people to issue an update. See here: http://www.flip4mac.com/knowledge/kb_0079.htm
