Playing videos on my ipod

i just got my ipod and put some music videos on it. when i go to play one, there is a small noise or "grind", like when a computer is loading a program. is this normal?

Yes, that is normal, that is your harddrive spinning up and loading the "program".

  • Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

    i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

    that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
    definitely NOT legit.
    As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

  • How do I play video from my ipod touch on my tv

    I want to play a downloaded video from my ipod touch on my tv, everything I've read so far talks about jailbreaking my ipod and this is something I really don't want to do. My tv has HDMI, USB and AV cable ports, I've tried plugging in via the USB with the standard cable but nothing happens, do I need a different cable or an app to make it work. Thanks.

    You need an adopter, See:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    or using AirPlay with an Apple TV
    Note that only the 5G iPod mirrors the iPod's screen on a TV. The 4G and below only display TV out with apps that support TV out

  • Can´t play video in my iPod

    I didn´t find anything about my problem in any other topic.
    I´ve bought an iPod video. I can put music, photos and postcasts on it using iTunes, but the video doesn´t work.
    I´ve read that the correct video format is mp4. I downloaded a program called "Videora iPod Converter" that turns any kind of video into a mp4 file.
    So, i´ve created a video called "siimpsons16x6.mp4" from a video file with ".avi" extension. I can play the new video in the Quicktime or with iTunes. But when I put the video in the iPod, although there is no error, something is wrong. I disconnect the iPod, but i can´t find any video file in it.
    Can anybody help me? How put your own videos into the iPod?
    Thanks, and sorry for my bad english...

    Your english is great, welcome to discussions.
    You might have better luck on the 5th generation video iPod discussions. I don't have one, so no advice other than check over there

  • Can't play video on my ipod 5gen?

    Ok so yesterday I finally bought an apple ipod 5 gen 30G and was expecting to come home and simply upload videos and downloaded movies to it the same way as with songs. only problem is, It took me a while to figuire out how exactly to import My Fan made Movies into itunes, I used Videora iPod Converter. I converted my Fan made movies. It showed up and played fine in itunes but when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio!!
    Now I got this ipod to play both audio & video but it's really starting to **** me off, thats where GT comes in.
    Is there anyway to play fan made movies (created in windows movie maker) and downloaded full lengh movies (not from the itunes store but from torrents) on my ipod 5 gen????
    And is it supossed to take a really long time to convert say a 50MB file? Im really confused.
    Thanks-
    MRBee
    Edit: I just tried to sync the video to my ipod again and it said; ipod cannot play this file........WHAT?

    "when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio"
    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.
    Btw, I would recommend something other than Videora. Try Streamclip.

  • Playing video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system.

    I get sound but no video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system. It keeps saying to change the TV Output to AV (Composite Video). I know it's hooked up properly as everything else works and I can get horizontal rolling with no color but nothing better.  Before I pay for apple support does anyone have any ideas?
    (My tv is also panasonic and the ipod is 4th generation)
    Many thanks

    OK, I can get the video to play, but I have no ability to scroll thru the movie.

  • Does anyone know how to play video sequencially on ipod touch 3rd gen

    can somebody please let me know why apple does not have none of the ipod video version capable of playing video sequencially,such a good device,missing out this feature,so i have my ipod in the dock watching a video and you have to get up everytime to pick a video to watch,it wont play sequencial,is there a solution?

    You can make a video playlist. Select the movies in iTunes. Open the Get Info window and select the Options tab. Change the "Media Kind" from movie to music video. Make a playlist of those videos and sync to your iPod. Play them using the "playlists" selection in the iPod's "Music" app and they will play sequentially as well as rotate to either portrait or landscape mode.

  • How can i play videos on my ipod?

    i have a 5 gen 30gb ipod and whenever i try to put the videos on my ipod, it says that the videos cannot be placed on the ipod because the ipod isn't compatible with them. i have checked and the videos are both .mpg which as far as i know, is a compatible video extension. i posted this problem before and some guy gave me a program to fix it but i can't find that post anymore. anybody?

    the closest apple store to where i live is in toronto and that's pretty far away so i can't go to an apple store. and i won't get a reply from apple for a day or 2 probably and i don't feel like calling them. any other suggestions?
