Podcasts and Videos not working sometimes.

Over the past few months I have noticed that certain podcasts and videos (an episode of Desperate Housewives at the moment) that I purchased from or obtained from iTunes won't load on or play on my iPhone because it cannot be played on it. Anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it (assuming you did)?
I would understand if I didn't get the files from Apple... But that is not the case.
Thanks in advance for any help.

IChat Audio and Video not working correctly...

Hi.
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before upgrading, I was able to video chat with little to no problem with family over iChat. I just tried it again today for the first time since upgrading to Snow Leopard and the audio is barely working (can only make out every few words, if that), and the video is extremely distorted to where you can sometimes not even tell there are people there. It gets all pixelated and weird. I tried doing the chat with Google Talk and then again with Skype, and had just as many problems with those. My family is using a Mac with an older OS, and they can see and hear me perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the problem is with my computer or with theirs, or if it's just a communication problem, but any ideas would be really helpful. Thanks!

After iChat developed missing audio and video pixellation problem post Snow Leopard installation at my mother-in-law's machine (and ours), I tried the usual decrease the bandwidth fix to no avail.
The solution that actually fixed the probem was to turn off port forwarding protocol on her Time Capsule and our Airport Extreme. Things are now working smoothly even at 500 kbps settings on both ends.
An interesting aside... Turning off port forwarding for ssh to her machine doesn't kill the ssh port tunnel from the outside LAN to her mac. It looks like iChat and the Time Capsule keep an incoming ssh tunnel open even if you have disabled port forwarding on the Time Capsule. I suspect this "secret" opening of ports is the magic of why iChat and screen sharing have been so much easier to set up when a Mac is behind an Apple router. 3rd party routers need ports manually forwarded to the Mac. Apple routers just worked ---- and it looks like Apple does it by invisibly opening ports on their routers when a Mac runs iChat.
Pretty nifty, but also silently opens a security hole that you may THINK you closed. SL seems to trip up over this arrangement when you also turn on Port Mapping Protocol and manually assign ports to forward.
At any rate, it wasn't the data rate, it was a new bad interaction between the Apple Router's Port Mapping Protocol and iChat 5. Turn off PMP on the airport and all becomes well once more.

Sound and videos not working

Hello,
I bought my HP laptop almost a year ago for my first year of university and recently the sound has been stopping and starting.
The sound sometimes works fine, but other times it works to begin with but then within the space of a few minutes it stops and won't work again until I shut my laptop off and turn it back on again.
When the sound won't work, neither will any youtube videos or iTunes songs, they stay on 00:00 and don't play at all.
I've tried all the help given on this link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c03257712#N432 but to no help. My computer is all updated, the speakers say they have no new updates, and all my anti virus software says my computer is protected and under no threat.
When doing all the stages on the link above, the Step 2 'change stystem sounds' part says that 'the device is being used by another application' when checking each individual speaker, even though I have nothing else running. So I am a little confused at what else could be running.
I have read a few of the help posts given for this type of problem and apparently deleting the audio speakers from device manager hasn't been very helpful for some people and I am wary of deleting things and making matters worse.
If someone could please get back to me to help I'd appreciate it. If not I'll have to go into PC World to get it fixed, as my laptop is still under warranty and should not be having problems after less than a year of use.
Thanks

Hi,
Try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall. When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'. You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.

Sync only checked song and videos - not working

On my iTouch, the only way I can get music on it is manually or through a playlist. The "Sync only checked song and videos" will not work. Am I doing something wrong?

Under the 'Music' tab (when you connect the iPT, and under the 'Devices'), make sure that 'Sync all Music' is selected, not the 'Sync playlists' option.

Synching audio and video not working

I recorded a separate audio and video clip of an interview, and I marked the start of the clip with a clapperboard and spoke the take number and contents to make life easier, as I usually do. The gear is borrowed from the college, and for some reason the audio that came out of the Canon 5Dmkiii was really low. This could be the reason why, when I put both the video and audio into their own bin and right click and merge clips, (with the syncronisation point as audio, and under audio tab checking the box to remove audio from AV clip) that the clip doesn't seem to recognise the snap of the clapperboard or something maybe? Is there any way I can correct this, or do I need to synch it manually? If so, is there any quick and easy tutorial on youtube or something that is recommended?

I discovered that if I put markers manually on the point where the clapperboard snaps, and select marker instead of audio as the synchronisation point, then it synchs up the clips properly.

Podcasts with video not working - suggestions?

Hello,
Vids work in itunes but not on the iphone?
I watch woodworking pod casts from thewoodwhisperer.com (and several others in itunes. Some are tagged "apple TV HD" but when I sync them on my iphone all I get is sound no video. And an error "was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPhone" but it plays fine in itunes. Help me understand this and is there anything I can do?

hi,

Photo Music and Video not working in Smart Center/Touchsmart Mode after Win7 Ultimate Install

Hi, I recently did a clean install (had Win7 Premium64 - now have Win7 Ultimate64). I reinstalled everything using my newly purchased Win7DVD and updated all of the touchsmart software and apps. Everything works fine except for
Photo - It loads, but no photos/folder are showing up...just blank. Tried resetting the touchsmart config, no go.
Video - Crashes the Touchsmart Application
Music - flashes for a split second and closes.
I tried installing multiple versions, the updates, older versions and even called tech support. They want me to recover, upgrade the app (eventhough I was already running version 4) then upgrade using a code. Not an option any more.
Anyone experience this problem? Please help, those are the main reasons I bought this bad boy.
HP Assistand and Update aren't ugrading anything on thouchsmart.
Also, if anyone knows where the Touchsmart YouTube App is (the one that makes it easy to upload and edit) please advise.
Thanks in advance.

IChat screen sharing and video not working on MacBook but works on Mac pro

I have a MacBook and MacBook pro. Both have the lion os 10.7.2. I can use iChat on the MacBook pro for screen sharing, video chat, and text chatting, with others remote to me. However, I can only do texting with the MacBook. I can do screen sharing via Finder between my MacBook and MacBook pro. I can do FaceTime between both systems. I can also do FaceTime between the MacBook and anyone remotely.
I also tried installing teamviewer on the MacBook, and on a remote MacBook..... And I get the same results where I cannot share the screen, from the one that has not been working.
I have checked the settings under system preference and made sure screen sharing was enabled. I have checked under iChat under video to make sure screen sharing was checked.
The macbook that is having this problem is configured for AIM for iChat
I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions on what I might try?
Thanks

Ok,
I will list the ports in greater detail and point out when iChat uses them.
AIM Login and 1-1 Text Chatting
iChat version 1 through 5 will Log in to the AIM server on port 5190 (TCP Protocol) by default.
Since iChat 2 we have been posting here that the AIM servers allow a Login on almost any port and have been suggesting port 443.
This is used by both Web Browsers for secure Login to some sites and by the Mail app with some mail servers.
It is also below port 1024 (most domestic routers have the ports above this figure closed) In some campus situations using port 443 will normally allow at least Login and Text chatting.
iChat 6 uses port 443 by default.
File Transfers (AIM)
When doing File Transfers with AIM Buddies iChat will move to using Port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.
This cannot be changed. (This invokes the little Message about Starting Direct IM in an open Chat)
It also uses this port for Pics-in-chats, dropping Files on a Buddy's name with out a Chat or sending other files that are not pics.
In the case of Port Forwarding some devices don't like port 5190 being forwarded "twice" which is another reason for moving the login and Text chat port.
Jabber Logins
No matter what Jabber server you use ichat will use one of two ports (5222 and 5223)
Which one it uses is dependent on whether it needs and is using an SSL Login or not.
SSL Logins use port 5223 and NON SSL one use 5222 (ticking or Unticking the SSL box on a Jabber account will automatically change the port).
Google Talk is the exception in that it allow a Login on port 443 as well.
The First Apple Doc I linked you to says iChat uses port 5220 in Jabber.
I run Little Snitch and have never seen any version of iChat use this port at any time.
Bonjour
Any Mac to Mac Connection or Mac to any Bonjour able peripheral will be on port 5353.
This is normally opened (Preset) in the Mac Firewall for the Finder/System side of Sharing.
iChat needs and uses two other ports (5297 UDP and 5298 on both TCP and UDP)
As they an LAN Side connections the router would normally pass them.
At iChat 3 there were issues with the Mac Firewall (it included UDP set up and the preset in the firewall only listed them and TCP so we had people add all the iChat ports (you had to manually enter them in Tiger)
A/V Chats
No matter which Buddy List you start from iChat will do A/V chats the same way.
The Visible Invite you or your Buddy sends is on port 5678 (UDP)
In iChat 3 and earlier iChat then moves to port 5060 to send the SIP Connection Process invite behind the scenes (SIP = Session Initiation Protocol)
Port 5060 is one of 4 ports internationally agreed for SIP (How VoIP phones connect) (5060-5063).
Although ISPs were not supposed to block Through traffic many started blocking End users and then Charging them to open these ports (Many ISP were telecom companies that were losing long distant Telephone calls monies).
The SIP process then in iChat 3 contacts a server run by Apple for this purpose (Snatmap.mac.com to give it it's full name).
This acts like a old fashioned telephone operator connecting the call.
SIP is a text based process.
Your end "Calls" the operator.
The Operator "Calls" Buddy.
Buddy Accepts
iChat then negotiates the ports to be used.
In iChat 2 and 3 it uses 4 ports (vid in Vid out, Audio In and Audio Out) from "the group of 20" starting at the bottom (16384 to 16387 normally)
Three and 4 way chats uses more ports (which is why 20 are set aside)
In iChat 4 Apple realised the issue with the 5060 port and changed the way iChat worked
Since then it has Sent the invite on Port 5678 but then moved to port 16402 (it starts at the top of a smaller group of 20)
All Video and Audio traffic is also now on one port (so no need for 20 ports and iChat now lists 10).
NOTES so Far.
File Sharing during a Chat converts the Chat to Direct IM for AIM Logins
This is Peer-to-Peer in AIM
A/V Chats are Peer-To-Peer and you can actually log out of the Buddy list and continue the chat. (The exception is using iChat 6's AIM Video relay option)
Screen Sharing
Screen Sharing is an Audio Chat with a VNC connection along side.
Both bits have to wok to avoid the Pop-up to send to Apple and the Log that contains.
The Audio part is on port 16402 and the VNC part is random. (So random it is different every time you do it)
The reason it is classed as an Audio Chat+ is so the AppleScript for Auto Accept can filter out Screen Sharing connection and Not Auto Accept them.
This does have a knock on effect as far as your Router is concerned as already mentioned earlier.
You cannot Forward or Trigger the random Port so you have to use UPnP in your router to open the ports.
NOTES
Jabber File sharing may possibly be on port 1080 as listed in the Server Article I linked you to (I have also seen it written about in other stuff I have come across)
However Little Snitch does not seem to confirm this either.
Most time it will be peer-to-peer like the AIM connections for this.
However some Jabber servers do not seem to allow this and have this Jabber65 Proxy set up which passes things Server to Server in between it leaving your end and arriving at a Buddy.
This on Port 7777 but you do not need to open this port (unless you are running a Jabber server)
I have yet to test File Transfers using a Yahoo Buddy List in iChat 6.
AppleCare and Geniuses.
Previously I have been contacted by Geniuses in Stores asking to test customer's iChat.
They and the Applecare people have details about Apple wants an designed the App to work.
What they don't have is the knowledge about what it takes to set it up in the "real world".
There are literally thousands of Makes and Models of routers.
Some like the Thomson-Alcatel brand state they are SIP/VoIP ready but this means the router strips out all SIP Data trying to send it to a Phone.
Early models of Alcatels can get around this with a tweak. Later models can't.
Motorola devices tend not to have UPnP.
Apple Base Stations have Port Mapping Protocol instead of UPnP and this needs setting up.
The Zyxel range definitely does not like the dual use of port 5190 and does much better using UPnP (You almost certainly have to do your AIM login on port 443 with these).
1. I have two computers (MacPro and MacBook Pro) that are both running Lion 10.7.2 and both running iChat 6.0.1. <<-- Fine
2. The Netgear router model is: WNDR3700.    <<<<--- With any Brand there are exceptions and I do wonder about this one
3. The firewall for both Macs is turned on and in the advanced area iChat is listed as being "allowed." <<<<---- Fine
4. In iChat, under the video options, "Screen Sharing Allowed" is checked.                                        <<<<<---- Fine
5. In System Preferences, "Screen Sharing" is checked and this is for "All Users" at present.               <<<<<---- Not Required
6. There are two separate AIM accounts being used for iChat purposes.                                            <<<<<---- OK
7. In iChat preferences, each AIM account is "Enabled" under "Account Information" and the "Server Settings" show the Server as "api.oscar.aol.com" and the Port is "443" and "Use SSL" is checked.                                <<<<---- As it should be
From this and the other info in the first port it was only the router set up that seem to throw some light on a possible cause (Port Forwarding and UPnP conflict)
If just doing Port Forwarding the ports listed would have covered things (Except the Screen Sharing's random port)
Regarding your latest post.
I have table similar to that on my Sagem 2504Fast Modem/router combined device and it too seems to list a different port on the external side on occasions.
I would try the router with the Disable SIP ALG unticked (so it is not disabled). If the Help info on the right gives any info about what this Netgear version does it would be helpful.
Some are like the Thomson-Alcatels I was talking about in that it points the SIP data to a specific place (Possibly a Phone socket on the device)
Others seem to provide an "boost" to enable SIP to work and don't seem to get in the way of iChat.
Try adding the Names in Table 1 from this page and see if you can Video to those.
There are 6 names in total (I am actually only seeing one on Line as I type)

Music and Video not working

Hi all,
Having a problem with my iPod Touch, and hoping you can help. Was playing around with it last night trying to get my Stanza app to work, mangaged to get what I wanted on it. However, when I came to play music on the way to work, it wouldn't work. When I clicked on it, it sort of froze for a about 30 secs, then went back to the home screen.
Anyhoo, got home and tried a system reset, but it's still happening. Also discovered that the videos aren't working either.
Any ideas? Or do I have to take a trip to the Apple Store?

Facetime and iMessage not working Sometime

Hi, my first time on this board and just wanted to see if people are having the same problems i've been having.
I have been having problems sending iMessage to my New iPad (3rd Gen) when it's been on standby more than 10 minutes. when trying to send iMessage to it it doesn't get delieverd, it will eventually deliever the message 30 minutes later but that's just dumb!
Also on FaceTime it's having the same problem, whenever it's been on standby longer than 10 minutes and I try to call FaceTime to my New iPad the call will never go through.
I have no trouble making FaceTime Calls or iMessage from my iPad it's only when I try to iMessage or FaceTime call to my iPad. Also, whats weird is after I initiate the Call or Message I can message back and call back without any problems.
I called Apple and they thought it was a Hardware problem so I sent it back and got a new one but the same thing is happening to the new one. Does anyone else have the same problem? if so do you know a solution?
Thanks,

You may have standby set up for 10 minutes which is a power saver mode which turns the screen off.
Set this higher if you need too but it only goes into standby if your not touching the screen too, so touching the screen somehoe to scroll or zoom for instance will restart the standby timer.
Its a bettery saver mode and can be adjusted under settings, general.
There is also a notification option that allows notifications to show up differently on the ipad.
Settings, notifications.
I have mine set to show up at the top center pull down so they show up anytime. The other options i tend to close if they are popping up in my way, so i close them and i forget they came in.

Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be really apprecaited. Thank you for any help.
