My new itouch doesnt play video.

I just got a new itouch and it does not want to play video. i can download it from itunes with minimal difficulty, but the issues come when i try to watch them. the video starts, but then parts of the screen turn green and the rest of the screen looks like the frames are sticking together. i can see it moving, but just barely. The audio works fine and so do videos that i download from itunes u. Please help me.

Assuming the videos play fine in iTunes on the computer, Tty the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
Reset. Nothing will be 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
If you still hve the problem then it appeas that yu have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective, you will walk out with a replacment.

  • My new ipod nano plays videos but there is no sound, why?

    My new iPod nano that plays videos has no sound going along with them. It's not a problem with the iPod, (I don't think) because the sound won't play on iTunes either, yet my music in playing just fine both on my ipod nano and in itunes. I dragged and dropped the video into itunes then I converted the video then used the convert selection for ipod. Why is there no sound? Is there something I am doing wrong? My 30gb ipod did worked just fine when I did it that way but my new ipod nano won't. Is there something else I have to do before I can watch and listen to videos?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    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...

  • ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

    OK here's my other problem:
    I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
    I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
    But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
    Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
    Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

    I am having a similar problem.  I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays.  The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30.  It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
    Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

  • New Quicktime doesnt play my AVI movies

    My .avi files worked on my old laptop, then I trade in for a new one, try to play my movies, and it doesnt work. Does anyone know any easy way to fix this. I have installed every plug-in i can find, and nothing. The files are fine, I can open them in a conversion program that converts them to other formats, but when i convert them, weird things happen, like theres no sound, or other things. HELP. Why would mac do this?

    Open one of the avi files in QT Player and check MovieInfo in the Window menu. Then use Google to search for a codec for that compression. You may need to find a universal codec that will work on both Intel or older PPC Macs.
    Or if all you want to do it play them (not transcode to other formats) then you may be able to play them with freeware: VLC

  • New ipad wont play videos on facebook

    i have the NEW IPAD (4G) and whenever i try to view videos on FACEBOOK, it wont play.
    It opened a browser and a play icon appears.
    I was able to play it on my laptop and saw the video without problem.

    It's likely that those particular videos require Flash Player to view.  Adobe discontinued supporting Flash Player for mobile devices a year ago, so you can't view those videos on your iPad.  You CAN view them on a laptop because Flash Player for computers still works fine.  This has been discussed endlessly on this Forum.
    Hope this helps

  • Some Songs and Videos on New Itouch Will Not Play

    Itouch 3g, 64g, firmware 3.1.2; running Win XP, Itunes v9.0.25; only one computer and one account. All songs and videos purchased from Itunes. Upgraded from an Ipod Classic to the Itouch.
    Some songs and all videos will not play on the Itouch (they all work in Itunes and on the Ipod Classic). On the Itouch, hitting play on the songs just toggles between the play icon and the pause icon with nothing happening with the song; other songs work as advertised. Hitting play on the videos results in the message "This movie could not be played."
    I have searched the posts and faqs and tried the solutions suggested in the apple support faq: tried resetting, deauthorizing/authorizing, etc. Nothing solves the problem.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    I went back and made a list of all the songs that would not play on the PC and Ipod Classic but not the iTouch. I then turned on the "Kind" column in iTunes to compare the list. It appears the songs listed as "Protected AAC" are the ones that are not playing on the iTouch. All songs that are "Purchased AAC" seem to be the ones that work.
    All of the videos are "Protected MPEG-4 video file(s)" and none work on the iTouch.
    As noted earlier, all songs and videos work on the PC and the Ipod Classic.
    Is this a DRM issue? If so, is there a legitimate fix available?

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • IPhone 4: connecting to TV for the 1st time with new "Composite AV Cable" only plays sound, not video on TV. However, this new cable works fine with old iPod to play videos on TV. Suggestions?

    I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my TV to play videos via use of a new "Composite AV Cable" but only sound will play off TV, not video.  I've tried every yellow/red/white input on the TV but to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC.  In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing".  I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

    Oh...that's a completely different situation than you started with...you said, up front, that "it doesnt play on Z10 device", which leads one to believe that it does not play at all. Now you say it plays partway before failing. That is a completely different situation. Thank you for clarifying that.
    However, I find nothing with "expectional error(1)" listed in the public KBs...are you sure that's the exact and complete error message? Perhaps you might have better luck searching:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
    Then again, since it plays partway, that tells me that something went wrong with the encoding of the file that, for some reason, causes the Z10 player to fail where some other payers can handle the error in the file. I can't tell you what that error is, but you might try re-encoding the file and seeing if you can get it to play all the way through.
    Good luck!

  • The new nano doesn't play video anymore?

    i'm confused? the first, second and third nano played video and had a camera....the new one doesn't

    "Any other ideas?"
    Yes, contact Apple. According to their own website...
    http://www.apple.com/accessibility/itunes/hearing.html
    "Captioned Movies on iPod
    iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation), and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read."
    The 6th generation Nano plays video. Plus the fact that the email their accessibility team has sent in response to my question...
    "On your hearing page, closed captioning for videos refers to the newest nano, is this correct?" seems to confirm very clearly...
    "Hi,
    Thank you for the email. That information is correct, if the video content you have synced from iTunes contains closed caption information you can enable closed captioning. One thing to note, the new iPod Nano (6th Generation) will only sync music video content only.
    Apple Accessibility"
    Perhaps there is some special format to Apple Music videos that I am not aware of, but it seems as though changing the tag should allow it to sync. Perhaps it's an update away?
