Playing Music Videos in 5th Generation IPOD

I did all that was directed. I downloaded a music video from Itunes, it is now stored in my IPOD. I went to Videos, Music Videos, Artist, and then hit play. Sound, no video.
Why?
Thanks for your help

We used to have this issue on AppleTV - lots of us sent feedback using the AppleTv feedback link similar to the one given, and I'd like to think that was the spur for the feature eventually being added.
So I'd advise you to use the link the other poster gave.

Changing Movie to Music Video On 5th Generation

I just bought a 5th Generation iPod and I am having a trouble changing music videos to music video in iTunes. I can right click on a single file and under options change Video Type to Music Video from Movie the problem is I have slightly over 1,000 music videos and it does not make sense to do them one at a time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, especially if they work.

Ah... you were talking about that little dropdown menu.
I didn't find any way to manipulate this for several tracks at once. Let Apple know about this issue, send them a feature request: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Importing Videos into 5th Generation iPod

I have a 5th Generation iPod. Whenever I try to import a video, the video imports, but there is no audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What video codecs are you trying to import? The absolute best thing is to use QuickTime and export the video for your iPod. If you use QT and use the File drop down menu and then click on export it will give you that option.
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) 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.
Hence the need for 3rd party software as per Niel's recommendation.

My 5th generation Ipod locks up when I try to play a video? I did the factory reset (ugh) and still, total lock up with video. Any suggestions?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

5th Generation iPod doesn't play Movies

Hi all,
a friend of mine bought a 5th Generation iPod some weeks ago
and I'm going to buy one, too. But there's one little thing that makes me nervous...
A few days ago we connected the iPod to my PC an everything started - iTunes did it's work.....very cool!
Forehanded I converted some videos for the iPod Video and I we were happy, when iTunes started transfering them, too.
After the work was done, I disconnected the iPod and tried to play a music video at first - nice! It works!
After that I tried to run one of the five full movies,
but it didn't work. The iPod shows them in it's list,
but nothing happens, when I'm trying to play them. =(
I don't really understand....the Pod shows a black screen for a few seconds and returns to the menu then.
I hope someone is able to help.....and I'm sorry for my bad English.
Thanks.
bye,
darker

In order for the iPod to play videos, they must be in the correct format, which is .MP4, .M4v, .MOV. I recommend that you just stick the videos in iTunes, and then right click on the movie file, and click "Covert for iPod". This will ensure that everything is going to be in the correct format.
Hope that this helps,

Creative ZEN Vision:M or 5th Generation iPOD Video ?

So which one would you pick? The ZEN or the iPOD. Yes, I know most people would say the ipod since this is an apple board but this ZEN Vision:M business is pretty awesome.
If you had the option to return your ipod and get the ZEN Vision, would you ? I mean, come on, look at this thing. Its a beast !
I also wanted to ask if anyone owns this thing ? i wanna ask a few questions about. i.e. battery life (since the ipod totally wreaks in that subject), compatability, other things..

Re: 4 hours playback... See my explanation about how Creative arrived at their playback times vs. how Apple arrived at theirs. If you want to listen to 64kbps WMA files, and watch 500kbps MPEG4 video, go right ahead. You could get the same result on your iPod listening to 64kbps AAC files and watching 500kbps MPEG4 video.
Re: double the songs... again, see my explanation about how Creative arrived at their 15,000 number vs. how Apple arrived at their 7,500 number (hint: 64kbps WMA files vs. 128kbps AAC files)
Re: more audio formats... yes. the Vision:M adds the ability to play WMA files (the iPod can play MP3 and WAV files)
Re: more video formats... yes. The Vision:M adds the ability to play MPEG1/2, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, and XviD.
Re: FM radio, recorder, voice recorder, yes. Points to Vision:M.
Re: iPod's batter turning red with 2 hours left to go... the battery meter is an estimate, nothing more. If it really bothers you and you can't ignore it, put a piece of black electrical tape over it. My battery meter is fairly accurate, but I've ran my iPod completely dead and charged it up completely 2x since I've bought it. Seems to have helped.
Re: scratching issue.. seems like there were a few people on those engadget posts that were complaining about their Zen (non-vision:M) scratching up pretty bad. My guess is the Vision:M will have the same problems (but that's a guess).
So, summary... If you need a FM radio/recorder, or a voice recorder, or don't want to transcode video you already have in a supported Vision:M format, or have your audio in WMA format, and are willing to deal with the extra width and cost, then the Vision:M might be for you. Be aware that Creative's battery life numbers are even more unapplicable to real-world use than Apple's are (I don't know of anyone that listens to 64kbps music anymore, and who would encode their video at 500kbps MPEG4?).

5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

Try:
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone.

Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
Thnaks in advanced.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

5th Generation iPod only plays out of one speaker

So I have an 5th generation iPod and have never had ANY problems with it apart from the usual freezing and a few odd corrupt songs. I've had this iPod for five years now and for the longest time I thought that my iPod dock was broken because whenever I put my iPod on, it only came out of the left speaker so in specific songs you could only hear half of the people singing.
I recently bought a new dock but have come to the realization that it is no in fact the dock but my iPod.
I have checked multiple other discussions and no one has had this exact problem because through the headphone jack and with any headphones or connections from the jack it plays perfectly through both the Left and the Right.
I think it's something to do with the bottom outlet that connects to the dock because if I move it at a certain angle, it works. However, it's very inconvenient because the angle doesn't stay and eventually the iPod shifts and the right speaker cuts out again.
I've had this iPod for 5 years and it works PERFECTLY just not on a dock ! Please help so I don't have to go buy a new one. Thanks.

My 5th Generation iPod will not play

I've never had any problems with my 5th generation iPod before. Then I went to listen to it, and it will not play sound at all. It looks like it is playing the song, the title is coming up, the timer is running... I skip through songs, forward through songs, go to different playlists.... everything. I can do everything on the ipod, but it will not play any sound. HELP!!?!?!?

The above post is great. That technique called a reset, but it should only take about 5-15 seconds before you see the Apple logo. Much longer then that and there might be something else wrong. And it won't hurt your files at all.
If that doesn't fix your problem, try a different set of earphones. Test them on another device first to make sure their working. Or you can test the earphones you're already using with another stereo to isolate the problem to either the earphones or the iPod.
If it is the iPod that's the problem you can also try to restore your iPod in iTunes. You're iPod will be erased and new software will be loaded.
