Playing videos on ipod photo

I have saved videos on my ipod (60GB) but can not play them ; i tried mp4 and m4v... can anybody help?

The iPod video isn't the only model that can play
video.
Installing Linux onto an iPod--any iPod--enables it
to play video. The installation will void your
warranty, so you'll probably want to wait until the
warranty expires.
Hi-Can you tell me where to get the software and what steps are neccessary to upgrade to Linux?
Thank you!

Cant' play video in i-photo anymore: worked well yesterday

can't play video in i-photo anymore: worked well yesterday

First download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. Launch iPhoto and try the videos again. If still no go give this a try: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. if it does try the following: try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Still not playing then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Playing video on ipod

I put a movie in my library then transferred it to my ipod. It shows up in the library and on my ipod. It plays in the library but not on the ipod. Help please

i have a similar problem...
got a new 120Gig ipod last month... decided to import some of my music videos into itunes so that i can watch them in my pod... some of the mpegs are on CDs i own... some mpegs were free downloads from the artist web sites... mostly old song... the mpgs imported and play in itunes, but i get an error message that they "cannot be played on this ipod"...
i was under the impression the new ipods would play anything that itunes plays... it would seem that these are in some kind of file formats that itunes will play but the ipod doesn't...
are your files "mpeg" extensions or something else?
if we can find the specifics about that the ipod supports, we might figure it out... i didn't see the details in the ipod manual... did a search but didn't find the info yet on apple's web site...
does anyone know where to find the FAQ for the file formats that these new ipods support?
thanks-

Playing Videos on IPOD!!

Hello
All of a sudden my videos have stopped playing on my ipod. I select the the video (as I would have done normally) and now it just gives me a blank screen then goes back to the menu, any ideas what the problem may be??
Thanks in advance for any help I can get
Nick

Just had a thought. Would this have something to do with a corrupt file or possibly not up to date ipod software.....
thanks again

Playing video causes iPod to reboot

Hi there,
Seems as if I'm having a problem with my video playback. I just picked up a 60 gig 5th gen model, and everything has been great. However, attempting to change position on a video track (for instance, moving forward or backwards in a playing video) will sometimes cause the whole iPod to reboot.
So far I've not been able to recreate this on any videos downloaded from iTunes. It seems to only happen on the four .mp4's that I converted from .avi files... anyone have any ideas why this would occur? They are not mono, like those podcasts that had problems.

Since you have completely messed with your computer, you may want to wait for a verry experienced Discussions Member to help you, someone with over 3 bars...
Try being specific on what you have executed on services.msc, your iPod firmware version, and your iTunes firmware version (iPod should be at 1.1.1 for 5G iPod and 6.0.4 for iTunes).
I nominate bnoir, btabz or Masna to answer this a little better after you repost with specific information

Can't play video shared on Photo Stream

Hi, I'm having trouble playing a short (27-second) video shared on Photo Stream/iCloud. It shows up on my iPhone (OS7), but when I try to play it, it just spins and spins. I've downloaded the latest OS and version of iPhoto for my MacBook Air as well, and the video doesn't even show up there. I can only see photos from the shared Photo Stream, but not the video.
Thanks for your help!

Same issue here.
Share videos to photo stream an it doesn't play on any other device. It just sites there forever spinning around and around (left overnight).
Tested on iPad 2 and iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0 and 7.0.1 respectively.

ITunes won't allow me to play video on iPod, help?

I'm trying to get a video on my iPod but it's not allowing me, it says it can't be copied because it won't play on my iPod, despite it playing just fine on iTunes itself. I'd really appreciate the help. The video file is mp4.

iTunes can play many different types of mpeg-4 videos that are not compatible with the iPod. iTunes can playback 720p and 1080p mpeg-4 AVC baseline 1.4 videos that can't even be played using AppleTV (or the iPod). So iTunes compatibility doesn't always mean iPod compatibility.
However, you can convert it in iTunes to ipod compatibility.
Highlight the movie in itunes, go to menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".

HT201077 Can't play videos shared over photo stream from my brother. Please help!

I used to be able to play videos which were streamed by my brother and now I cannot view them, they just are continually loading. How can this issue be solved?

Hello Puddinchops,
It sounds like you are not able to view shared videos from your brothers Shared Photo Stream. I recommend starting by closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
Then reset your network settings and test the issue again:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Can't Play Video on IPOD 60gb

downloaded an episode of Lost. Works great on itunes on the computer. Got it onto my ipod. It's there under TV Shows. But when i select it to play i get a black screen for thirty seconds and then it just reverts back to the menu option for the show. what's wrong?

i updated the ipod and itunes. still no luck with getting the episode to play on the ipod. any other advice?

Playing video clips within Photos app

I have a pile of video clips taken with a compact Sony player that outputs in MPEG1. Using MPEG Streamclip I converted a number of them into MPEG4 so I could view them on my iPad along with the photos taken at the same time.
The problem I have is that around a half of them will sync, display and play on the iPad - all older videos that were shot and converted at 320x240 resolution. The more modern ones taken at 640x480 will not sync to the iPad at all. With the conversions the only different thing I did was set frame rate at 24 per second, I think I did this will all of them however.
Any idea why the iPad will not display these bigger but still conventional res clips?
Thanks.

In iTunes under the Advanced tab there is an item for Creating iPad and Apple TV version. You might want to try using that on the videos that do not play.

Trouble playing videos, slow iPod

I have filled my iPod with lots of audio and video podcasts, and music from CDs, and some data, with only 500 MB free memory.
iPod is very slow to respond to the click wheel or other buttons. Sometimes a song does starts to play only in 5 seconds or more, not immediately. This did not happen when the iPod was new (i.e. emptier). This is annoying.
I have more trouble with video. Some videos do not start playing at all, or start only sometimes. Sometimes some video podcasts of the same podcast subscription play, and some do not. I assume all are in the same format.
I have formatted the iPod for Windows to use it sometimes as hard drive on a PC and charging, but iTunes is running on a Mac. I have not reset my iPod for some time.
My guess is that the iPod cannot handle a full hard drive and a big podcast and music library. But it's just a guess.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. . . i think.
When i click on the name of the movie on my ipod video, 30 gbs, only the line of how long the movie has played, and a tiny picture of the movie will show up. The same with music videos and that stuff.
But the sound works perfectly.
Thank you!

Can you play videos on ipod nano??

i bought a rob thomas video from itunes thinking it would play on it. did i just waste $1.99??

Your $1.99 isn't wasted if you watch it full screen in iTunes.
Your $1.99 isn't wasted if you spend $299 on the VIDEO iPod.
The nano does not do video. There is no room for a video chip - that's how Apple keep it so small.

Can't play videos on ipod classic

I'm unable to play mp4 videos on my iPod Classic. I can play them fine in my iTunes library on my computer, and they are loaded onto my iPod. But when I click to play the videos nothing happens (I get a black screen for a moment, then nothing). I've dowloaded the latest version of iTunes and not sure what else to try. Any suggestions welcome, thanks.
