New videos not playing in video playlist

I have a video playlist on iTunes. Whenever I add new videos to it, I never see them in shuffle mode. How can I make these videos "shuffle better"?

Hi,
I'm a bit confused by your question - which "video playlist" are you referring to? Are you talking about something in a previous iTunes Version?
If you are referring to the "Movies" in 7.0.1:
The videos will only show up in this list if they have the kind "Movie".
To change the "Kind" of a video you can:
- right-click on the video in your library and "Get Info"
- select the "Video" tab
- set the "Video Kind" to "Movie"
If you would like to have a playlist that shows TV-Shows or Music Videos you could create your own Smart Playlist and filter by the Kind to get those....
Hope that answers your question,
Koinseb

Videos not playing continuous in playlist, like when songs r played, help?

Hi, i keep experiencing an annoying problem of my videos in music video playlist not playing continuous. by that i mean they play one by one going back to playlist menu when each vid is finished so i have to manually forward to the next one. This Music Vid playlist is a default in iTunes already created. I find the only way i can play vids cont. is to click the reset all settings button and i shouldnt have to keep doing that as it messes up everything else. Can anyone help? thanks

OKAY!
I was having the same problems! I could not get my
videos to play continuosly. I did a search for
'Continuos Video Play' and went back to some posts in
Dec '06 and I found out, that when your Shuffle
Setting is set to Shuffle, then your videos will not
play continuosly. Who would have ever thought that?
So I tried it and IT WORKED!
I hope that helps you.
Hi, thanx for your help Invisionz that worked a treat, Cheers. Dee

Audiobooks from CD's not playing as a playlist after updating to 8.0.2.20

8.0.2.20 - Prior to downloading the new software, If I burned 8 cd's to itunes, it would show on my Ipod as 1 of 8, 2 of 8, etc.
The book would play as a playlist and move from "song" to "song" without my having to restart it each time.
All my music still shows as a normal playlist - i.e. 1 of 8, 2 of 8.
WHen I look at the audiobooks in itunes it has the correct disc numbers. WHen I look at them in info, it shows as 1 of 8, 2 of 8, etc.
It just seems that audiobooks aren't doing this in synching to my ipod every since I downloaded this latest update.
ANy one have any ideas?

I fixed the issue by restarting my computer and itunes & then restored all the original settings on my Ipod after doing a reset. WHen I reloaded everything the books showed up correctly in the play list.

New cd not play

Fought against updating iTunes, but at my sons insistence, I did it a few months ago.
Today I purchased a brand new cd set of Eagles Greatest Hits. It took over 3 hours to import in to iTunes.
Album and songs show up but will not play. I get Time unavailable next to the songs.
Help please, before try to go to time machine and try to reinstall an older iTunes version.
Thanks!!

Next I would reset the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Then if that does not fix the problem, contact your local Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider and have the SuperDrive checked out.

Specific Music Files Not Playing Using Shared Playlists

I have over 3600 music files in my collection, and of those, about 44 will not play using the shared playlist on other machines. There is nothing between the files that is common that I can decipher. Some are *.m4a files, some are *.mp3 files. However, all will play in iTunes on the host machine and will play fine on the myriad of iPods that I have. If an attempt to play is made, the song information comes up in the heading on iTunes (song name, duration, album, etc...), but the song never starts playing. Any help or insight would be most appreciated.

Hi
What happens when an agent puts a caller on hold is nothing to do with the UCCX server, prompts on the UCCX server, etc...
What is played is controlled by the 'User Hold Network Source' configured on the agent's line, handset, device pool etc; and which MoH server it is played from is determined by the MRGL assigned to the 'listening' device (e.g. gateway typically).

Ipod mini not playing but scanning playlist

My ipod mini will not play the songs, but will scan the playlists and show song titles when I hit play until it gets to the last song. I don't know what to do, I called Apple and was told the next available service consultant would be a 15 minute wait.

My iPod mini does this also. The strangest thing is that it will play everything that was NOT purchased from the apple music on-line store. All the music in my iTunes that originated from CDs, studio files, etc. will play just fine. If I have a play list that has Apple store music mixed with CD music it will scan past the Apple songs and stop and play all other songs. I have taken my iPod into the apple store twice and they updated the software, then erased my iPod lists and personal settings. Both times I took it home and restored my iTunes on to my iPod. Both times this corrected the problem for only one day (one time playing through the entire playlist) then the original problem returned. This first happened when my iPod mini was 1 month out of warranty Soooo frustrating.

How do i authorize my itunes to allow my new surface to play my existing playlists

how do i authorizen my itunes to allow my new surface to play my existing playlist

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

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 Macbook not playing videos!

I just bought a Macbook Pro computer today, and I'm encountering some problems with watching videos off of Facebook. I installed adobe flash and all of that, but the videos still won't play! I need help!

And that was? Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
Did you repair permissions and restart your computer after the installations?

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)

Nike+ software not playing my specified playlist since upgrade

Since I upgraded to iTunes 9 and ITouch 3.1 Nike+ doesn't play my specified 'running' playlist even if I program it to.
It only plays one playlist ('Mellow Music'! Not good for running)!
There seems to be no way to change it as it always defaults to Mellow playlist every time even if I create a new workout.
Anyone have any idea?

I just had the same problem yesterday when starting my run. It will only play my "top 25 most played" playlist...which happens to be terrible for running. To get around it I:
1) exit Nike+
2) start playing desired playlist in iPod
3) return to Nike+ and select "now playing" as your choice of playlist
worked for me but I lost the voiceback features (not sure if this is permanent). I use a bluetooth headsets to run and this glitch has happened before, quite annoying. Good luck

Songs not playing correctly in playlist in iTunes Match - iPad

I turned on iTM on my ipad and iphone. It works great on my iphone. All of my playists show up on both devices. When I try and play music from a playist on my ipad, the song displayed is not the song that is playing. When it goes to the next song, it just sits there and doesn't play. I've downloaded all of the songs in this particular playlist. Not sure if other people are having the same issue.
Thanks,
Jim

This has happened several times to me since I originally posted. I found it happens when I add more music to a playlist that I already have on my iPad. Below is a fix.
1. Turn off itunes match on your device. This step is important.
2. Delete all of the music on your device. General / Usage / Music
3. Restart your device.
4. Turn iTunes Match on
5. Download the playlist you want.
I hope Apple fixes this soon. This fix is not ideal and takes a good bit of time, but it works for now.

Please Help with Shuffle not playing Podcasts in Playlist order

Hi wanted to find out if others are going thru the same thing concerning PODCASTS. When I download a podcast and I put it into a playlist the podcasts should be able to be played in a sequential order as long as the number column is "clicked" so it plays 1,2,3 and so on. Well thats not happening....UGHHH when I sync my 2G shuffle now after 7.2 upgrade it decides it wants to put an episode of one type of podcast then another episode from another podcasts.. as if it is in random mode... But asure you I have the random/shuffle turned off both on the itunes and the shuffle itself. and everytime I go to sync it I can see the little circle updates syncing out of order and the sync window shows them being copied out of order... And so it syncs it to the order it comes up in the window. I cant get it to stop doing this. I have even tried unistalling 7.2 and quicktime and downgrading to 7.1.1.5 and it still is doing the same thing. Anybody please help this is very irritating... Thanks for your time....

I am trying to auto sort podcasts in a smart playlist.
Click in tethe h very first column and drag the podcasts in the order you want.
Right click on the playlist name and *Copy to play order*.

Apple TV video playlists are not alphabetical

First of all, I love the new video playlist addition in 2.3. Thank you Apple.
I have a problem that I can't figure out. My movies that show up on playlists on the Apple TV aren't alphabetical. I thought that if I changed my sort options on my Mac (by name), this would resolve the problem, but it doesn't.
Any ideas how to get the video playlists to be alphabetical? I can't figure this out.

Had a quick look at playlists on my own set up, while most playlists were in alphabetical order some where not. It appears that the playlists on the tv reflected exactly the order in which content was listed in itunes, so those playlists that I had selected to be listed alphabetically in itunes where also listed alphabetically on the tv, those that weren't didn't.
Haven't still fully figured this out as yet since I assumed that if I changed a playlist that was listed say by 'date added' in itunes to 'alphabetically' and synced that the way it is displayed on the tv would also change, but this hasn't happened.
I will continue to look into this.

How to create/org a Video Playlist?

Hello everyone, I must say I really really like my new (video) iPod 60!! I have "rip" 3 videos into it so far, a recorded off-TV MTV of Madonna's "Hung Up", a recorded "Lost" episode and a DVD of Star Trek Enterprise, they all look good and sounds good on the iPod!!
On the Main Menu > Video > Video Playlist, Movies, Music Videos, Video Podcast & Video Settings; How do you create new Video Playlist? I noticed all my "rip" video are inside the 'Movies' category... I guess only videos like music videos bought from the iTMS would go into the 'Music Video'??
Thanks all and cheers!!
