Podcasts and videos will not show.

My itunes won't play my podcasts, videos or movies. There is sound, but the visual is just flashing pink and green colours. I've re-installed the latest itunes, but to no avail. Is there a separate download I can get to update just the video player? Or is there another way to fix this?

The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • My video will not show picture only sound? windows 8.1

    I did updates yesterday and now this is happening

    Hello @34jamie,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how your video will not show picture, but the audio will work on your Windows 8.1 computer. Does the video appear and then disappear using media player software? Does this occur when streaming videos on YouTube? Did you perform Windows or HP updates before this issue occured? Does the entire screen go blank, turn a different color or just show blank on the video window you are attempting to view? I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.

  • HT1414 my ipad mini will not charge from wall socket and it will not show itself on i tunes via my pc... i have also substituted my power charger from my i-phone to no avail.

    my daughter's i-pad mini will not charge up from the wall socket and it will not show itself on i-tunes via my pc... i substituted the power charger from my i-phone to no avail with the wall socket... seems like i read that the earlier i-pads have some problems with the lightning socket but can not remember exactly...there is no apple retail shop in the small city where i live but would travel to one if the fix is relatively quick or easy...otherwise, what can i do for diagnosis and repair?

    Most likely your cable is bad and you need to get a replacement.

  • When I place a clip in the timeline and try to watch it, the viewer says "Unrendered" and it will not show the clip

    When I place a clip in the timeline and try to watch it, the viewer says "Unrendered" and it will not show the clip. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Option 1: Render the clip in FCE then watch it.
    Option 2 (preferred): Convert the clip so it will match your Sequence settings in FCE prior to importing the clip into your project.  It will not need rendering if converted properly.

  • Video will not show in the preview window

    I am using iMovie 08 and have some video that I pulled into iMovie using my iSight. Whenever I am trying to preview my movie it will not show in the preview window. I did a software update for iMovie and the issue is still happening. Any ideas??

    Although the same not preview-able iMovie event played perfectly fine when transferred to a different mac running perian and divx, disabling Perian solved the issue on my macbook, too!
    Thanks for the tip!
    I still wonder why some clips preview and some don't (with perian running)...

    Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
    Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
    You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
    Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
    It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

  • IPod and videos will not open!

    I have tried a hard restart as well as a restore and still my iPod and my Videos will not open, along with a few other apps. Everything else seems to be fine, I am writing this on the iPad and it can still connect to iTunes as well as the app store! I really hope someone can help...

    Go to settings: general: reset... That did it! Cheers.

  • Firefox's option bar for saving username and passwords will not show, I have it set to remember passwords for sites. Can sites be added manually?

    I was using Norton to remember my user names and passwords, however I do not use Norton any longer. Firefox does not give me the option of saving passwords even though I have it set to remember them.
    There are no sites in the exceptions list. How can I reset Firefox so the option bar shows?

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • I have spent probably a few hundred dollars on movies, music and apps on itunes. I have only ever downloaded this on my iPhone. I plugged my iphone into a laptop and now all my music and videos are not showing up on available downloads. WHAT DO I DO?!

    All of my music is gone. I have no idea how to get it back and Im worried because it isnt showing up on available downloads.

    Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers?  If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)?  If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.
