No audio playback on 20gb 4G ipod from purchased video

I need some help. I have recently purchased some songs via the iTunes store and they playback fine in iTunes, but when I sync my ipod 20gb 4G click wheel), they do not go on to the playlists. I know it is not a video ipod, but should I still be able to get the audio only? Please help. Thanks. Soggy

Okay this does work.
Designed to convert just about every video format to iPod Video (WITH AUDIO)
The only thing that ***** is that when you see the thumbnail on your iPod, it looks garbled but IT DOES PLAY BACK PROPERLY WITH AUDIO.

These guys even have a DVD to MP3 Converter - pulling the audio from a .vob file to MP3.
These dudes rock.
Now why doesn't Apple sort this out, that is my issue in the end.

  • Audio playback randomly freezes on iPod, skips to next song in iTunes.

    When I'm listening to music on my iPod, at a random point in certain songs the audio will suddenly cut out, the play progress bar and time keeper will freeze, and yet the icon indicates that the song is still playing. When listening to those songs through iTunes, at the same points rather than freezing up, it will simply skip to the next song, similar to what it would do if I had edited the options to make the song end sooner than it normally would. I have gone through these songs and checked that option under the "get info" menu and the song end time has not been altered. What has happened to my music, and is there any way to fix it short of whiping out half my library and starting from scratch?

    I’ve read reports from many other iTunes users who are having the same issue I am.  Please read on...
    When listening to songs that I purchased from iTunes (as opposed to those I imported from CD), several, but not all, of them stop playing prematurely several seconds (or even minutes) before the end of the tune.  Playback jumps immediately to the beginning of the next tune. 
    I noticed this, I believe, shortly after moving my iTunes library to a new iMac (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB memory) running iTunes 10.5.3 (3) on Mac OS 10.7.3.  Everything was fine before the move.
    Of the 283 purchased songs in my iTunes library, about 100 of them exhibit this behavior.  The song playback times at which this happens range from 2:14 to 5:19.
    What is interesting, is that tunes from the same album all end at the same playback time!  For example, I purchased the whole album “River - The Joni Letters” (Herbie Hancock’s album covering a number of Joni Mitchell tunes).  Every song from that album now stops playing at 3:39.  The same happens with other tunes that happen to be from the same album, too.  I have no idea why this would be the case, but it certainly seems significant.
    Another interesting finding, is that if I copy one of tunes exhibiting this issue to the desktop and play it from there, the song plays all the way through to the end without a problem.  This would, I think, rule out a corrupt file and tend to point to iTunes itself as the source of the problem.
    The problem certainly is annoying, and it would be great if we could find some resolution and get back to enjoying our music without the mind-jarring bump that too often now happens without warning.

  • Is there a way to load music to my ipod from purchases from Realplayer, etc

    Hi.
    Let me start off by saying I am a computer idiot. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how/where to post my question.
    I apologize if I ended up posting in the wrong place and I apologize in advance for my babble.
    Here is my question(s).
    I have a Ipod60.
    I have managed to upload songs that I had accummulated over the years that are in my music library.
    Unfortuantely, I seem to be having a problem with 3 things.
    1) is a audio clip my cousin sent me. The clip is in .wav.
    I can add it to my liabray. I can play it on the computer when in Itunes. I can see it on my ipod. HOWEVER, when I try to play the song on my ipod, the title appears on the screen but it immediately jumps to the next song. How do I get it to play on the ipod?
    2) I purchase a song from the Realplayer store because I couldnt find the song on Itunes. They said that it was compatible with my Ipod. Unfortunatley, Itunes will not let me add or import the song.
    What am I doing wrong?
    3)I have one song that is a mp3 extension that will not let me upload it to the ipod. Again, I can add it to my library, but it will not save onto the ipod.
    I tried to look at the various "help" sections. They say something about programing the darn thing to manual additions/updates but that doesnt seem to work.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    If anyone has any suggestions or knows of instructions that are in simple /"for dummies" terminology, I would greatly appreciate it.
    I also have a question about why I can't upload varios videos that I have...but that is another battle.
    Thanks in advance and once again, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place or babbled.

    Once again, thank you both for taking the time to answer.
    Camoracer - thank you for the suggestions on the transfer programs. I will look into them, once my 1 semi working brain cells stops hurting from this little technical puzzle.
    I quickly check Videora out and it seems to be able to convert other formats TO IPOD. It doesnt seem to go the other way. Are there others that allow for that or is it impossible to copy IPOD "stuff" into other formats?
    Is there a "silver bullet" of a program that works on most types video & audio (.mp3, m4p, mp4, avi, .flv, .mov. etc) ?
    ED2345 - thank you for trying to make me feel better by saying that "it is a common mistake". It doesnt make me feel as stupid as I feared...but I did warn you that I am a moron when it comes to this stuff. I just thought that by changing the extension from (for example) .mp3 to .avi or .wmv was enough....heck most of the time it seems to work.
    Anyway, I tried to do what you suggested. But before I click and change anything on my settings I want to make sure I THINK I am doing what you said.
    I go into Itunes and get into Importing and I see the following
    ON CD INSERT: ask to import CD
    IMPORT USING: AAC ENCODER
    SETTING: HIGH QUALITY (128 kbps)
    (then in a little box under it is says:DETAILS
    64 kbps (mono)128 kbps(stereo)optimized for MMX/SSE2
    then under that box it has a few bullit points (* = lines that are "checked off" & activated:
    * Play songs while inporting or converting
    * automatically retrieve CD track names from internet
    * create file names with track numbers
    and
    use error correction when reading audio cd's
    Now
    all that said, where to I make sure the preference is set to mp3 at 160 kb/s.??
    Do I change to MP3 in the IMPORT USER by clicking on the drop down and changing to MP3 ENCODER?
    Do I change the 160kbs by clicking on settings => custom=> and then change the STERO BIT RATE??
    Knowing me, I will click on the wrong thing and cause my computer to self destruct.
    Once again, thank you both for your time.

  • Extracting audio from purchased videos

    Is there a way to extract the audio from videos purchased through iTunes? I'd like to buy some of the video albums, but since I don't have a new iPod that will play them, I'd like to at least get the audio to my iPod.
    Thanks,
    John

    The only way I know of would be to to capture the output of iTunes using a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap. Either of those utilities can save the captured audio in a format that iTunes can re-import and transfer to your iPod.

  • Audio playback delay using M-Audio Audiophile

    I have an MBP, 2.66 GHz i7, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Ram. External monitor on DVI. OS X 10.6.8
    I've just started using FCP X and have cut one movie with it ( http://youtu.be/SUQLTk4aCS8 )
    However I am now experiencing a problem that audio playback is about 10 frames behind the video, even though the waveform on the screen lines up with the video.
    I am using an M-Audio Audiophile firewire audio interface to playback audio. When I switch back to the internal soundcard audio sync is fine. This problem started after I updated the M-Audio driver, as the one on the MBP was the one that transferred across when I copied all my files from my previous MBP (I can't remember Apple's name for this process, when you connect the new computer to old computer by firewire and transfer all files and settings automatically)
    The M-Audio control panel wasn't working on this MBP so I updated to the newset driver, the 64 bit version. I assume the i7 and OS X 10.6.8 is 64 bit but I am not positive as I could not find any guidance on my computer or elsewhere.
    Can anyone help me with this? I prefer the sound quality of my Audiophile, I find the internal soundcard very trebly. Just want to get rid of the playback delay.

    Thanks for responding.
    It seems quite strange that the driver update caused the problem...maybe I should roll back to the previous driver? worth a try I guess...although this is a new machine so doing that could cause other problems.
    ANNNNOYING....on the internal soundcard, whenever I click the mouse or scroll the timeline I hear annoying clicks and pops thru my speakers.
    What kind of 'pro' software doesnt let u use an external soundcard. I think Apple really screwed up here. I feel sorry for everyone who invested in full-on FCP suites and training time for editing feature films who are no longer going to get updates and support.

  • Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

    Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
    So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
    Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
    thanks

    hey all
    Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
    I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
    Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
    Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
    The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
    Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
    I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
    I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
    Retime>Fast 2X
    Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
    Test video complete.
    (You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
    Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
    I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
    Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
    Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
    The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
    Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
    So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
    My mind is melting

  • Audio Playback issues with quicktime 7 and iTunes - distorted sound

    I was informed by my Soundcard manufacturer that Quicktime7 now requires a "real" WDM driver.
    Many soundcards seems to have a "fake" WDM driver and this leads to chopped up sound that is completely distorted / garbled and impossible to listen to.
    The fix is to downgrade to an older version of quicktime and iTunes.
    I'm posting this because it was driving me crazy that there is no information on this in the support pages from Apple even if there are plenty of reported issues with audio playback. The system requirements from Apple does not mention the WDM driver either. I am not sure if this "true" WDM driver has to be "windows signed" and all unsigned drivers are "fake".
    I'm sure the changed requirements has changed because of the need to address more audio channels but it would be great if the "safe mode" would accept "fake" WDM drivers.
    I have also requested a driver revision from my soundcard manufacturer. We'll see...

    By way of experiment, try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version.
    Does that help with the iTunes problem?

  • Audio Playback not working?

    Hello
    Just recently opened iMovie 08 after a while away and seem to have a problem with the audio playback. When skimming in the source video you can hear that there is audio, however when you want to play it by hitting spacebar there is no audio. When i drag the video to the project window and play, the same again no audio?
    Can anyone shed any light on this matter? The more i used this version the more i dislike it arrrrrrrr.
    Cheers,
    Glen.
    Thanks.

    i had same problem last night and i messed around with it today and got it to work by finding imovie event or project folder drag to desktop restarted then returned folder to original location open and it played just like new try it and hopefully it will work for you

  • No Audio Playback in Music Videos that were converted from MPEG to MPEG-4

    Friends -
    I am using iTunes as the default player for all types of audio files. I have not downloaded any supplemental video or audio Codec files (yet). Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7000) is my default player for videos. When I recently converted a batch of old music videos from MPEG format to MPEG-4 format, I lost the audio playback on the converted files when trying to play back using iTunes. Audio works fine on the original MPEG files from iTunes. After syncing my Video iPod, the video playback is fine on the MPEG-4 files, but there is still no audio. Any suggestions?

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • HTML5 Audio Playback issue from firefox 33 and above.

    I have created an application which was working just fine till firefox 32. It is still working fine in firefox 32. But from firefox 33 and above, the audio playback does not start intermittently.
    I tried to debug and find the problem further. What I observed is that the html5 audio element in firefox 33 and above does not dispatch 'readyState' event as 4 which is needed to start the playback. It shows its value as '2' due to which, the 'canplay' event is not getting triggered.
    This issue is replicable on local machine as well using some bandwidth throttling software. Also, it is important to note that this issue is visible on MAC's firefox. On windows, things are working just fine.
    If anyone has any solution of this problem, please let me know.

    Actually, I ran all but ADW and I included Super AntiSpyware. There is no virus. It is only V33+ and other browsers work fine. I think I will give up on Firefox for now until I upgrade to Win 7.
    Thank you everyone for your input.

  • No audio/visual on TV show downloaded from iTunes app on iPod touch

    I downloaded a $3.99 Avatar TV episode from the iTunes app on my 2nd gen iPod touch, and it seemed to go smoothly until I tried playing the episode. It appears to be playing but all I see is black and there is no audio. I restarted my iPod twice; still, same problem. I can't re-download it without paying again. I have downloaded other Avatar TV episodes the same way before, and they were fine. What went wrong with this one?

    As you connect the ipod touch to the computer, go to the ipod touch options (in devices), uncheck the manually manage.

  • ATV (Gen3) Newest updates severely distort audio playback from iTunes. Please Help!!!

    I just updated my iTunes and ATV (Gen3) to the newest versions and immediately noticed severe distortion in audio playback from iTunes library. No hardware changes have been made and yesterday the sound quality was just fine. I have one running an optical cable into a high end receiver and another running off a HDMI cable into the TV with powered Speakers for output. I checked both systems on all inputs and it's only the Apple TV with the distortion. Someone please help as that is the only thing I really use on the device. iTunes version 12.0.1.26

    Weird, I just opened iTunes to add some songs and now its playing fine.
    Though I still can't figure out how to change the columns and having them stick to what I want .

  • No audio playback from timeline in fcp x.

    i have an issue with audio playback from the timeline. i can see it on the VU meter, but i can't hear it. i can hear it in the clip in the event library, but when i drop it to the timeline i hear nothing. i have changed settings in audio setup but nothing seems to work. i use a blackmagic intensity pro card to route audio to external speakers.
    everything works as it should with all other software including fcp 6, itunes etc.
    i also tried some headphones (after setting audio output to headphones) but still could not hear anything.
    what am i doing wrong?

    just tried one more time to re-route audio through line out and it worked!! so changed back to blackmagic card and VIOLA!! there it is.
    this forum is amazing, all you need to do is post a question, you don't even have to wait for an answer.

  • Need help getting current/default audio playback device from VISTA

    Hello,
    I need to get the current audio playback device in VISTA.
    It's easy enough in XP as I just get this information from the
    registry. My understanding is that things are different under
    VISTA. I was told you can't change the device but you can get the
    device using the following...
    --CoCreateInstance(IMMDeviceEnumerator)
    --IMMDeviceEnumerator->GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(eConsole)
    Problem is I don't know what to do with that. I assume it
    needs to be compiled with some library (compiler, library, etc... I
    don't have)
    So... question, is there already an xtra that can get this
    information OR... can I pay someone to make an xtra using the above
    info?
    If you are able/willing to help, please let me know asap as
    project is due next week. I can pay you through paypal.
    Thank you!!!!!

    Antoine Schmitt at that url builds Xtras and his
    asPitchDetect Xtra can get info on recording devices... try
    contacting him and he might be able to help you with a custom Xtra
