No souond with videos on ipod

i downloaded a music video from itunes and the video comes up, but no sound, y not?

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Problem with video on ipod video

    hello, got no file for tv shows when i've got some videos in them. I could see these files in recently added, but can't find them in a proper folder, how could i sort that out. Thanks, besho2005

    They actually dont,
    I purchased one to see what they are and see how diffrent they are and the Creative Plays Less formats than the iPod 5G (Video) along with being less pretty than the iPod's (The Creative thing is actually ugly)

  • Sound with videos on ipod 60gb

    Alright, so when i first bought this ipod, the sound worked beautifully. I converted my files to mp4's and they everything was butter. But when i updated the software, the sound stopped working so well. Now it only plays the first 30 seconds or so with sound, then it freezes and stops playing sound, but the video still plays. I figure that its the software, but i really dont feel re-setting factory settings and having to re-download all these songs and videos. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you fix it??? THANKS

    Yes I can confirm the same problem with my ipod after upgrading to firmware 1.1 (for the radio remote control support). With my ipod the problem consists only with longer movie files. Short files, such as musicvideos are played with out problem but a movie has the described "30 seconds with sound - freeze - rest without sound" problem!! Very interesting for me: sometimes, after restarting the movies several times the movie continues to play without problem (in average in 1 of 9 cases ) - looks to me as a timing problem.
    I really do hope that Apple is solving this annoying issue immediately, since otherwise they will not sell any radio remotes

  • Audio is off sync with videos on Ipod Touch.

    My Ipod touch does not want to seem to play the audio in correct sync with my videos anymore. I have not done or changed a thing lately. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. I am running firmware 1.1.5

    Update My iTouch is downgraded to 1.1.5 successfully. I used a pc that had an un updated version of iTunes installed (7.6) and after 2 attempts using the power off + home combination described in the firmware 1.1.5 post, I was able to successfully "restore" to the latest "1.1.5" iTouch software. When the touch reset, before establishing a sync relationship with the pc, I reattached it to my mac and selected "new ipod" rather than restore from backup. I then synced and tested on of the previously screwed up videos. It plays without any audio sync problems. This processes is more or less what the genius bar instructed me to do. I was reluctant to download any software not coming directly from apple. If anyone knows where the firmware file is stored on iTunes PC version, I would greatly appreciate the location. I want to save the file on my mac now that I know this is a good version. When Apple comes out with 2.1, I want to have a fall back.

  • Problems with video on ipod touch 64GB

    hi,
    I just got the last ipod touch version 64GB and also installed the latest software 3.1.2.
    But some videos (mp4 format) wont play. you either have a frozen image (sound plays) or a green screen (sound plays).
    the exact same videos play find on my older generation 32 GB ipod touch (the one without the volume switch)
    any ideas?
    thanks

    I have a 3G (3rd generation) 32GB ipod touch . I am running into the same problem.
    I have a 6th gen ipod classic, and also a 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen, my videos work fine on both of those.
    However, when I put the SAME videos that work fine on both of my other ipods, unto the 3G iTouch, all I get is a green / semi-frozen screen with working audio.
    I contacted Apple, they told me it was a hardware issue and to bring it back to the store which I got it (Best Buy) and swap it out. I did so, and my new one does the exact same thing. (At least I got a free set of headphones and usb cord by swapping it out and not putting the old ones in the box,haha Apple)
    The only support I am getting about this problem is from online posts such as this one. So far no one knows the problem and Apple reps insist that this is a 'few and far between' hardware problem, however through swapping it out, and reading posts of other people who have swapped it out, I have concluded this is not so.
    I prize myself on being computer 'savvy', I can fix almost anything, however with this problem I am stumped.
    For now I will just try to wait it out and either hope they fix it with an update or sit on this semi-broken ipod for a year until the next one comes out....

  • No audio with videos on ipod

    When I add a video to itunes it automatically changes to a quicktime movie file. This video has audio with it. When I "convert it for ipod" it becomes an MPEG-4 video file. This video has NO audio with it when I play it on itunes. It also has no audio with it when I put it on my ipod. And the quicktime version of the video cannot be put on my ipod.
    Where has the audio gone for my videos? Your help is much appreciated.

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

  • I need help with my 30gb ipod video

    I just got one this weekend and i used the new itunes 7 to convert about 23 videos and then i put them on my ipod. When I try watch any of them I only see video and dont hear anythnig. I know my head phones work because I can listen to my music that i put on it.
    is there a step or something im missing?

    The file is most likely an MPEG (.mpg) file. The audio and video tracks are merged.
    If you use iTunes or QuickTime Pro to convert it, it will only convert the video track and remove the audio.
    I recommend getting an MP4 Converter program.
    Xilisoft iPod Video Converter is great, you can get it for both Mac OS X and Windows.

  • ITunes keeps saying that my 60GB iPod with Video is corrupted when it's not

    I have an 60GB iPod with Video that iTunes keeps saying is corrupted when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. Although it seems to only happen after using it for more than a short amount of time before syncing it. I just watched a 5 minute video after I ejected my iPod and when I synced it after that, iTunes did not say it was corrupted. Although when I used it for over 3 hours earlier today and synced it, iTunes said it was corrupted. When iTunes says it is corrupted, I eject the iPod and resync it, and it's always fine the second time. This issue has been ongoing for a month or two now and it's starting to get annoying. I bought the iPod last June.

    it can be some corrupted files or bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, see doing the following helps
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • IPod (with video) freezes Windows XP - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a 5g 30gig iPod with video a few days ago, and immediately ran into the "iPod freezes Windows when connected via USB 2.0" problem. I read through every possible post on this website, on iLounge, on Microsoft's forums, etc. There seems to be quite a substantial number of people running into this problem, because I've been seeing posts about this all over the place.
    My specific problem was that whenever I plugged in my iPod, the iPod would display "do not disconnect" and iTunes would begin to recognize it - sometimes it would reach the point where it would begin to update - and then the computer would completely freeze. The iPod would "disconnect" and be completely usable, but the computer would not respond to anything what-so-ever. I had to perform a hard restart to get the computer usable again. No error messages, no "ctrl-alt-del" saves, nothing. It would also lock in the same exact way if I just plugged the iPod in without starting iTunes (iTunes wouldn't automatically start, computer would just lock up after a few moments).
    Anyway, my problem was solved through a procedure I saw in a post somewhere (I'm pretty sure it was on these forums, actually). Basically, it seems as though there is some sort of conflict between iTunes, Quicktime, and Symantec's anti-virus.
    The process is pretty simple - completely turn off whatever version of Symantec you're using (Norton AntiVirus, Firewall, whatever... I'm running Symantec Corporate AntiVirus 10). Then, uninstall Quicktime and iTunes (it might not be absolutely necessary to completely uninstall iTunes - I uninstalled Quicktime and then "repaired" the iTunes installation).
    This seemed to resolve the situation entirely - I've updated my iPod three times now, and charged it, with no problems. Hopefully this continue to work... !
    Incidentally, I think it's disgusting that this seems to be such a prevalent problem, yet Apple so far refuses to acknowlege its existence, much less provide a solution. As a long-time Windows/Microsoft user (notice I didn't say 'fan'), I expected much more from Apple.
    Anyway, good luck!

    Hi!
    I have the same problem, though using iPod Touch.
    My PC crashes just after charging sound on th iPod sounds.
    I can be loggen on or not.
    I have tried the 5R's two times
    I have removed SP3, didn't help.
    I have updated to iTunes 8.0.1: Didn't help.
    But I have an portable PC (job PC) where it is working fine, both PC's using XP Pro, english version.
    So, just now, I am very dissapointed bu the Apple products (and it took me 20 years of Software Engineering before i bought something from Apple ..... )
    So the stress test will be: Will Apple do anything with this ?

  • Old Composite Video cable (Tangerine iBook) not compatible with Video iPod

    I discovered a little surprise.
    Despite being exactly identical on both ends of the cable, an old Apple Composite Video cable, originally purchased for a Tangerine iBook, is not compatible with Video iPod.
    Anybody confirms such situation, or is it just my Video iPod with a faulty video output?

  • CompUSA USB 2.o Card, iTunes 7.02, iPod with Video Problem

    I just purchased a new 80 gig iPod with video and had to upgrade my MDD Duak 1 Ghz for USB 2.0, as transfer in USB 1 takes far too long. I purchased a card from CompUSA (SKU 304244) which adds two external ports only. When I attempt to transfer files into the iPod it seems to function at the faster speed, but will then freeze on a file, not allowing me to eject the iPod or sometimes to even force quit iTunes. I have tried this several times and there is no consistency regarding how many files have transferred or their size as to when the freeze will occur.
    I originally tried this without adding a driver (using OS X 10.4.8), then I added the one from the included disc - same results. I then re-installed the 10.4.8 updater thinking this might have a more recent driver, but things are still the same.
    I don't have any other USB 2 devices to use to test the card.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Not all of the USB2 PCI cards out there are completely compatible with Mac as they claim to be.
    I tried a two-port IOGear card that had that same problem.
    Replace it with a 5 port (1 internal and 4 external) Belkin and it works just fine.
    Someone has had a list somewhere of the ones that work best. I know that Belkin is one of the good brands to buy for loading a video iPod on a PowerMac. There are others, though.
    You might find more on it in the video iPod board.
