Playing IPOD Video / Picture Slideshow on TV?

Hi All,
I wanted to know if there was a way to play Video &/or Picture slideshows on my TV?
Thanks...

Ignore the other post as it's complete piffle.
You need one of these cables specific to the iPod Classic. No other cable will work.

TV picture very unclear when I play ipod videos

Recently I have had a problem playing ipod videos on my tv. It used to work great, but now it only shows a picture with a bad horizontial hold. It constantly scrolls down and movies/vidoes can't be watched. Does it need to be reset?

You should check is the video output is PAL or NTFS. Try both to see which one works best for your TV. Also ... if it`s a big TV, unclear pictures are common, the iPod not having such a high resolution.
Hope this helped,
Darie.

Video + Picture slideshow DVD & Subtitle issues

Hello All,
I am making this family video and slideshow DVD to distribute among the family members. I know how to make video DVD out of shot footage but I am struggling hard to make such hybrid DVD where I can put video footage as well picture slideshow.
I checked out slideshow function in iDVD but it only allows pictures in one folder and I have multiple folders of pictures and I would like to be able to switch between these folders when I watch this slideshow on DVD player.
I tried to make iPhoto albums but there I couldn't make subfolders so I got stuck there and can't try importing from iPhoto5.
Anybody has idea how I can do this?
Also, I would like to add subtitles to movie as well as pictures. Any comment on subtitles is also welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi n
Deep water !
I understand Your questions but can't figure out a way to do exactly as You
want it to be done. I would instead make my SlidShows as movies in iMovie
and combine them into one iDVD disk. This is fairly simle and the quality is
much a personal issue. It's OK for me.
When I've done my movies (as individual iMovie projects) I drop the project
icons into an open iDVD theme (just inside the edge of the theme window).
Then rename them in the theme window and adjust the titles location so that
it looks nice. If You want You can also add a folder for Your photos (to be
used by Your family in their computers).

Playing iPod Video through the TV

I recently purchased the AV Connection Kit. I set it up and successfully played videos and sound from my iPod through the TV. However, when I try to play regular music I do not get any sound. Since the sound from my videos plays, why not normal music. Is there a setting on the iPod that I need to look at. Any advice would be apreciated. BTW I am using the latest firmware. Thanks

Yes I did try a different AV port on the TV. Unfortunately I got the same result.
I thought it might be a setting on the iPod. To get the video to work, I had to set "TV" to "ON". I thought there might be one for audio, but not found anything.
Thanks for your sugestions any way.

30G video iPod not playing podcast video

My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

30GB 5G Ipod no longer plays any video -HELP!

I have a 5G ipod purchased toward the end of 2005. It always worked great until I went to play a video the other day. My ipod crashes every time I try to play any video, whether downloaded from itunes, homemade, anything. This isn't an issue of needing to turn the TV-Out setting off. I've tried restoring, reverting to previous firmwares (from 1.2.1 to 1.1.2 and 1.0, using itunes 7.2), formatting and restoring, everything I've seen on forums everywhere. It used to play video just fine, so I'm completely at a loss. If I select a video through the audio podcast area, it will play the audio portion. When I try to play videos properly, the screen stays blank and no longer accepts input - I have to reset the ipod. I know that I'm out of warranty so I'm probably boned, aren't I?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!

Movie downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod video

I bought a movie off of itunes and downloaded it to my ipod video. But the movie won't play on my ipod. It plays perfectly fine on my computer. Why isn't playing on my ipod video? Is there something i have to do first before videos are able to play on my ipod?

Is it one film or all of them? I'm having a similar problem where this one film I accidentily deleted that used to play got reloaded and now plays fine on my computer but won't sync onto my iPod. Everything's checked off and ready to go on my computer, but when I sync the film simply isn't there.

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

IPod Won't Play Songs, Videos Reset it, and it's Quite Sluggish

I have a 30GB video iPod (the old version). Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when the power on my iPod ran out because I fell asleep while listening to it. The next day when I turned it on, it said "Connect to your Computer, Use iTunes to restore" So I promptly did that, and it worked fine until I tried to play a video on it. It showed a blank screen, so I reset it by pressing the Menu and Center buttons. Then it showed the "Connect to your computer" screen again. So I restored it, and it would be fine until it locked up again and showed the "Connect to your computer screen" again. I left it alone for about eight hours, and when I tried turning it back on again, it was back to normal.I've seen that screen probably 10 times in the past 4 days, and I've restored it, just as many times.
Here's the list of problems I'm having:
- the iPod won't play some songs when I click on them. It will show the Playing triangle in the upper left corner, but I hear no sound and the seeking bar doesn't move. I'll often have to click the Pause button, then hit it again to Play it, and then it will play the song.
- The iPod is extremely slow. When dealing with songs or videos, it often takes a minute or more for the iPod to respond to my button clicks. Its hard drive isn't full, though; in fact I'm only using about 2 GB.
- Videos lock up the iPod. Just about any time I want to play I video on it, it will show a blank screen and won't respond. Then I have to reset it and I get the "Connect to your computer" screen again. These aren't videos in the wrong format or anything, these are the same videos I've been playing on my iPod before with no problems, until recently.
- Battery life is horrible. Although it hasn't been fully drained yet, judging from the power meter and how long I've been using it after it's fully charged, I'd guess it would only last about 2-3 hours. I would think it should last considerably longer, as the iPod is only about 3 months old.
Has anybody been experiencing similar problems, or know what I can do to fix it?

I've still had the same problems, but now when I try and turn on my ipod, it tells me to restore. When I do go to restore, itunes says that it cannot find the file needed to restore my ipod. The ipod itself also tried resetting itself, I guess, made it to the menu that asked what language I wanted it in, and then restarted again. This went on for an hour and a half, and I could't do anything. Is my ipod a lost cause?

5th gen iPod freezes when play iTunes video, then sad icon, then normal

I tried to watch some Tv shows I downloaded from iTunes and sometimes it would play. Then the next time I select the video it freezes to a black screen. Sometimes I can press "menu" and return it the the main screen. But if I select the video again, it freezes completely on the black screen. I do a "reset" and then I get the sad face icon. I plug it into the computer and it says it is corrupted. If I leave it alone plugged into the computer, it tries to start itself about every 15 mins and the sad face icon appears. If I wait awhile more, it will restart itself, connect to iTunes,and be back to normal. As long as I don't play a video. I don't see any posts with a similar issue. Anyone have a clue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Right click the video in iTunes and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert again (through iTunes)?
If so, update the iPod and see if it works.
If not, try these...

No audio when playing YOUTUBE videos on ipod touch via a docking station

Hi there, when my ipod touch is docked on its docking station, it will not play audio on youtube videos, it will play the video but not the audio through the docking station speaker. It used to play audio without problems before, but recently it has stopped. When i take the ipod touch off the docking station the audio on the youtube video returns. any ideas why this has happened? it plays the youtube audio through the head phones too, i can play all other audio through the docking station speakers with out a problem.

There are no setting to change on the iPod.
Have you updated either the firmware on the car or on the iPod since they last played in the car?
This may work:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

Hi
I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

IPod-Video-80Gig No longer plays movies, videos, TV shows (older shows)

What gives, only 6 months ago the videos played just fine...then I begin having a host of problems (started with the death of the battery at the ripe old age of 8 months). This $400 video iPod had played the few movies and TV shows I purchased...and it will play the audio of them...but will no longer play the video portion. I've tried the resetting (holding the MENU plus CENTER buttons at same time). No go still. I haven't played the movies/videos in a while; but now I'm going on a roadtrip and wanted to take them with me to watch on the plane. So sad. Any help anyone can pass along would be rightly appreciated!

OMI...my daughter had told me she was "fiddling" with the settings and wouldn't you know, she changed the VIDEO SETTINGS "TV Out from Off to On." Word to people with kids...tell them to step away from the iPod.

Just bought an ipod touch 4th generation and haven't got a clue how to transfer music, videos, pictures... from my PC to my ipod! I just don't understand how it works!
