No video playlist syncing

When I plug my playbook in to my computer via the usb cord, the blackberry desktop software shows the big three subheadings under media sync.  Oddly, itunes video playlists appear in the "Music" section but they are grayed out and cannot be synced to my Playbook. 
The video playlists do not show up at all in the "Video" section, instead you have to individually select video files. 
I'm assuming that we'll get video playlist syncing soon (since we can already sync music playlists and the desktop software can at least "see" video playlists now).
Anyone have a work-around until that time?

Hey golby23,
Glad to hear you love it as much as I do
I guess I don't watch videos as much as I play Tetris (kind of addicted lol) but suggestions is how our products evolve.
Thanks so much for your input

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

I have an Iphone 5 and want to create a music video playlist on my phone so then i can play through my apple tv... but when i make a playlist in itunes and try to add it over to my iphone it wont let me sync the playlist...? I have already added the music videos to my iphone so that is not the problem.... i cant seem to figure out how to make a playlist for them... IE: to make the videos play consecutively in the order i want without stopping after each video and gong back to the list.... this is what i have had to resort to make it work....what i want to do....is be able to make a playlist of videos on my iphone 5....take my apple tv to friends houses and with wifi....set up apple tv and play videos at the party and not have to stand by with the remote and find a new video to play stopping the music between the songs/videos....very annoying....and have spent over 4 hours one day and an hour and a half today on the phone today with a sr. advisor with apple and they have no clue.... this seems sooooo simple.... please somebody that really knows how to do this....i will be indebted forever...............

  • Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

    I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
    This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
    video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

  • Need help syncing a music video playlist to my iPad.

    Hello,
    I am having trouble syncing a music video playlist from iTunes onto my iPad2. This playlist works fine on my iPod touch (3rd gen) but on the iPad it shows up as an audio playlist only with the videos going to the video icon; they all work but a playlist can't be made from this location. I have made sure that all the video files are saved as "music video" and not "movie", I'm not sure what else to try, any suggestions would greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    Cool, I love watching videos on the treadmill too. BTW, if you want to watch videos with ads in them (DVB recordings, for example), there's an article on exactly this subject (how you can easily skip ads when watching videos on the treadmill) at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/fast-forward-ad-skipping-best-video-players
    Back to the subject: the following 3rd party players support playlists:
    MoliPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/mo-li-shi-pin-bo-fang-qi-moliplayer/id503831696?mt=8 : Partial (you can use your own, freely definable genres)
    Falcon Player and Downloader Pro for iPad http://itunes.apple.com/app/falcon-player-downloader-pro/id489381002?mt=8 : Partial: only one, global playlist
    LuberPlayerHD http://itunes.apple.com/app/luberplayerhd/id476781603?mt=8 : (Pretty straightforward to use)
    PlugPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/plugplayer-for-ipad/id363482186?mt=8 : Partial: only one, global playlist
    HD Player Pro http://itunes.apple.com/app/hd-player-pro/id429610228?mt=8 4.0 (used to be ATK Player by Khoa Tran Anh): + (add /edit playlist under Playlists tab; selected playback works)
    Oplayer HD by olimsoft http://itunes.apple.com/app/oplayer-hd/id373236724?mt=8 : + (last-but-one + icon in every row after creating a playlist in the second item from the top in the top left main menu)
    BUZZ Player HD by BUGUN Software http://itunes.apple.com/app/buzz-player-hd/id389744550?mt=8 : + (move via Edit > select the item(s) > arrow icon)
    Movie Player – Plays any Video! by Dominic Rodemer http://itunes.apple.com/app/id406779775?mt=8 2.0.2: Partial (very rudmentary: no separate playlists, only one, global one)
    Azul Media Player - Video player for your iPad By Gplex http://itunes.apple.com/app/azul-media-player-video-player/id404452499?mt=8 3.5: Partial (very rudimentary: no separate playlists, only one, global one)
    yxplayer by mobilesoft.kr http://itunes.apple.com/app/yxplayer/id373751560?mt=8 1.5.2: Partial (just a global one)
    RushPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/rushplayer/id452990487?mt=8 1.4.5: Partial (just a global one)
    Of them, I recommend BUZZ Player HD by BUGUN Software the most - it's a decent all-rounder, albeit there certainly are better players (for example, It's Playing, AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, GoodPlayer etc. - too bad none of these supports playlists) with more efficient video decoders for some formats.

  • 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.

  • Video playlists show up in music playlists!

    I originally had the problem where my music playlists were showing up in my video playlists section of the ipod along with my 2 video playlists (movies and tv shows). I have finally solved THAT issue by putting 'tv shows' or 'movies' in the comments section of all my videos, then went to my smart music playlists and put the following condition: "comment does not include 'tv shows' or 'movies'). Boom, this keeps my music playlists out of my video playlists and now my video playlists only have 'tv shows' and 'movies.'
    HOWEVER, my 2 video playlists are showing up in my MUSIC playlists now, with nothing in the playlist, just the names of them (tv shows and movies). This is ANNOYING!
    i have gone to itunes ipod preferences and excluded these 2 playlists from the music playlist sync, but there's STILL showing up on the ipod.
    Can anyone help?

    Please help!

  • Watch video playlists on the new iPad?

    How do I watch my video playlists from iTunes on the new iPad?
    I subscribe to a number of video podcasts in iTunes. I've created a number of different Smart Playliststo keep them organized as I watch episodes and new episodes are published. I can sync these playlists to my iPhone and then use the Music App to watch them. When iSync the same playlists to my new iPad I can't see the playlists in the Music App. I can see the videos in the Video App, but they aren't organized in the same playlists that I have in iTunes. They are organized into individual Podcasts. This makes it harder to watch a series of shows when only one or two episodes from any particular show are synced.
    Even opening up the Shared libraries does not give me access to the playlists that I've developed in iTunes to keep my subscriptions organized.
    Please let me know what I need to enable or set to allow me to watch my synced playlists. Thank you.

  • How do I play video playlists on HD tv using itunes on pc?

    How do I create video playlists for use on my Smart TV using iTunes on my PC?  Do I need Apple TV to do that?
    Thank you!!

    I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
    The instructions can be found at this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaI9GwPKXkE
    In short:
    1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
    2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
    3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
    4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
    5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
    After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
    Hope this helps you too!

  • Video playlists in iOS? Please? Really please?

    Prior to iOS 5, I used video playlists extensively.  For example:
    video playlist of cartoons/shows/videos/etc. to hand to our toddler during trips.  One plays after the other.
    I often get instructional material with video file names like "Lesson 1. Setting up", "Lesson 2. Configuring", etc.  Now imagine five series and there are five Lesson 1, five Lesson 2.  If you just list all the programs, it's impossible to know which Lesson 2 follows which Lesson 1, etc.
    My Classic iPod (click wheel) has video playlists and they're great.  My iPhone, iPad...no.  All I get is a long list of videos and neither of the above two scenarios work.
    Is there a workaround for video playlists?  I've heardpeople mention a couple apps, but Video Playlists is iPad-only, and other players require sync outside of iTunes.  I already have all the videos setup in video playlists in iTunes.  I can put them on my iPod classic with no problem...but with the supposedly more advanced iOS, it's impossible.
    Does iOS 6 have video playlists?

    Nathan,
    I'm having a similar problem. I have movies and Curb your Enthusiasm episodes that i have put into video playlists, and now (in addition to showing up properly in the video playlists secition) they're ALSO showing up under music playlists as well (but just the titles, there's no content in the playlist there).
    What can i do to fix this???

  • Why no video playlists????

    I was so excited to have the big screen for watching videos on the iPhone, but due to the lack of syncing with video playlists, like is available on the iPod Classic, I've given it up as simply too hard to be bothered with, and I've gone back to carrying my iPod Classic as well as iPhone.
    What's up with this? Why is the iPhone such a big step backwards as a platform for video?

    There is a way round this that I have posted elsewhere. As long as there is at least one music track in a playlist, you can fill the rest up with TV Shows, movies or whatever. You can then play them from the Playlist menu on your iPhone and watch back-to-back in either portrait or landscape as you please.
    Rather than dropping in a real music file, I just created a completely empty music track in Garageband by creating a new song, then immediately exporting it to iTunes (calling it "Blank Track"). I then place this at the end of any video playlists I create.
    When you come to sync these playlists to your iPhone, you have to remember to select the appropriate playlist in both the Video and the Music section in iTunes. If your playlist only has movies in it (e.g. Star Wars episodes 1 to 6), then you need to select each of those movies in the Video->Movies section and also the playlist in the Movies section.
    I hope all that's clear. It's pretty ridiculous though, and Apple should allow us to sync whatever playlists we want to the iPhone and play them from the Playlists section without the above rigmarole.

  • 160GB (Video Playlist Usage Help Request)

    Hi all... first time posting here... first time here.
    Anyway, I've got a 160GB iPod Classic. I finally placed some videos on it and promptly made some playlists through iTunes.
    My problem is that I can only play one video at a time and when it finishes it starts over again (never moving on to the next video in the playlst). Also, I can't seem to skip to the next clip using the >>| key. I can fast forward or pres |<< to reset the video though.
    I've noticed that when I try to play the playlist outright by pressing the >|| on the playlist (vs going to the clip as I did above), the playlist will show an "audio note" icon and then says "1 of 0" and scrolls the title of the clip but never plays the clip.
    Is there something about setting up a video playlist I'm missing? Or did I make a mistake by placing all my clips into the "movies" section and then making playlists through iTunes (they all showed up mixed in with the audio playlists... but are showing up correctly in the "video playlists" section of my iPod)?
    I guess I assumed I could play my video clips just like my music and my music playlists... by skipping to the next clip, making a playlist and even shuffling that playlist to get "random episodes" to play.
    Am I wrong to think that or have I simply done something wrong with creating my lists or syncing the iPod.
    If it helps the clips/video are in the "M4V" format.
    thanks for any tips or help,
    TK.

    Thank you for the reply... I'm still having trouble though.
    I can't seem to find the "options tab" you spoke of so I can't go any further than that.
    This is what I've done so far:
    Got the videos in the M4V format for iPod...
    I then moved/copied them into my directly onto my iPod through iTunes, the files synced and they show up on my iPod...
    I then made playlists by right clicking my iPod and using "new playlist"...
    I then selected the clips I wanted for each playlist and moved/copied them to the playlist I wanted...
    I then removed my iPod from my PC and am able to play any of the clips either by going to the "movies" section or by going into my "video playlists" section, but I can only play one clip at a time and at the end of the clip my iPod only restarts the same clip. I can't skip to another clip and the playlists themselves don't play as described above. In order to play another clip I have to back out of the current clip using the "menu" button and then select a new clip.
    In iTunes when I right click on any of the movies I only get the following options: Get info, rating, reset play count, reset skip count, uncheck selection, mark as not new, show in playlist, copy, delete, apply sort field.
    When I right click a playlist I get the following options: copy, eject, copy to play order, transfer purchases, reset warnings, delete.
    I also checked all the "file, edit, view, etc" top bar options and couldn't find anything relating to "skip during shuffle".
    Lastly, I've double checked my iPod settings and it appears that all my playlists are setup to shuffle and repeat.
    I'm still willing to try what you said if I can find it, lol.
    Here's my iTunes version: 8.0.2.20
    Here's my iPod software version: 1.1.2 (iPod Classic 160GB with 148.79GB free currently).
    thank you again for any more suggestions or tips,
    TK.

  • ITunes Video Playlists

    I created several video playlists in my iMac's iTunes.  They work great, going to next video as each is completed.  However when I sync the iPad, the playlists show up but are empty in "music" and while the videos are in "video" there seems to be no way to find any video playlist as created in in iMac.  Any suggestions.
    iMac (24-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

  • Why does Video playlist appear empty on my iPad?

    I created three different playlist (videos) on iTunes on my iMac. I tried syncing the playlist on my iPad2 so that I can select playlist and have it play continuously. As a result, playlist shows up in Music App but they're empty. The videos show up individually in Video App and no option to create playlist, so I cant play continuously. Mind you these playlist are cartoons for my daughter so when she wants to watch Barney i just wantbto select it and let play. Now, what I don't understand is that I synced my iphone3G and the playlist do show up in my Music App and work completely fine as well as individually in Video App. Why do the playlist Sync correctly on my iPhone but not on my iPad? Or why isn't there an option to create playlist in Video App? Apple has such great technology but something so simple as a playlist went right over their head. I don't get it.

    videos do not appear in the music app
    The video app does not support playlists at this time.
    Doesn't appear (based on threads posted at least), to be a high demand feature.
    You might check the app store for an app that does this, but off hand I'm not familiar with one.
