Playing TV shows on the IPod.

I have downloaded a TV show thru Itunes to my 5th Gen. IPod, but the video won't play. Only the audio. Any ideas?

On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

I recently purchased a 7th Gen iPod nano which I have downloaded my music to. However, when I try to play this it is showing on the iPod as play but I am getting no sound through. I have checked the headphones and reset it. Any ideas?

Haha I had the exact same problem. Once I had tried it like 4 different pairs of headphones i was ready to give my iPod back. Then I tried pushing the headphones in further and proceeded to kick myself. I seems a lot of people have the same problem, post it on here and realise a few minutes later.

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours and is never completed. I only get some of the 6000+ songs I have. This started when I updated to IOS5 i think.

Why the albuns artcover won´t show in the iPod?

I have tried everything already, from unistalling iTunes (twice) to looking over all the manuals and check boxes in iTunes, and yet, some of the album artcovers don´t show in the iPod after sycing checked musics. The weird thing is that it has happened out of the blue, once it was everything ok before. I have this new iPod Touch for over 2 months now and it´s very fustrating not to have the artcover in it since I spent a lot of time and patiance adding all the right artcovers to the albuns.

I am not that knowledgeable on ID but to start the discussion I would suggest you post where you are trying to view your PDF. If you are viewing in Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a Desktop Client then there might be a problem. But if you are trying to view on an iOS or Android device (or other mobile device) then that is the main cause as to why you can't view multimedia things and have interactivity.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

When playing one specific band, the iPod freezes, has to be restarted...

When trying to play one specific band, the iPod freezes and has to be restarted. Tried to clear and load the songs again many times, even downloaded the band's album from a different place, it's no use tho. It crashes EVERY TIME. With only this one band. Anybody having any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have had this problem for quite a while also. Actually there was a thread on this problem a month or so ago, but no one seemed to have a fix. The first CD will import fine, but after that any additional CDs you insert into the drive remain unrecognized until you exit and restart Itunes at which point the CD and drive are recognized, the track information is retrieved, and the CD will import normally. This is a real hassle.
I have done the obligatory reinstall to no avail. It would seem that this problem is common enough that someone would have discovered the fix.

ive just bought a ipod off my cousin it had loads ov apps on it what worked but ive tried to manually sync it and now none will work can any1 helpthanks

The apps and other content on the iPod did not transdfer with the purchase of the iPod. The lience to use them remains with the original purchaes. You should connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and purchase and sync you own media.

All of the songs had artwork associated with them (on my computer) from the very beginning. When I uploaded them the first time, shouldn't the artwork have gone with them? When you upload album art, is there a way to find it on the iPod, other than playing the songs? In other words, does it reside in a directory that I can view? If there is, I can at least confirm whether the artwork ever made it to the iPod. It just seems weird that it shows up in iTunes but not on my 'pod.
I know that I had the setting orginally set at "automatic" and then at some point I changed it to manual, and then back to automatice, which is how it is set now. But again, I prepared my database of songs on my computer (including artwork) before I ever uploaded them to my virgin iPod, so I thought it would have gone with them from the start.

How can I connect a PC with iTunes to an ipod and make iTunes play podcasts directly from the ipod without synching with iTunes on the PC ?

I predominently use my ipod to listen to my favourite podcasts. I download podcasts onto my Home PC using iTunes and then synch the podcasts onto my ipod again using iTunes. This all works fine.
Occassionally I want to connect my ipod to my Work PC via iTunes and listen to the podcasts by playing them through my Work PC external speakers. I DO NOT want iTunes to synch with my ipod, I just want to access the podcasts on the ipod and play them directly using the iTunes on my Work PC. I used to be able to do this, but have recently had a new replacement PC provided and now when I attach my ipod to the new PC iTunes wants to synchronize, and I can't see the podcasts which I know are on the ipod.
I'm sure that this is an easy one for you experts out there. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Arnold

Just to be clear - I have a new Work PC. My Home PC and ipod synching is all still working fine - it's just connecting the ipod to my new Work PC - and not being able to see and play the podcasts from the ipod - which is the problem that I am trying to overcome. Thx.

My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all. Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. I turned it off and on. now what?

My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound. I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area. When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume. Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects." what does that mean?
