Purchased music and videos not playing on ipod!!!!

I had an ipod and bought a video ipod recently. I forgot to put in the disc that came with the new ipod, and now all the songs and videos I bought from Itunes Music store wont play in my ipod. By wont play I mean I try to play it and it goes to a black screen, sometimes for 30 seconds. I have tried restoring my ipod but it did not work. Please help

Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.

If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

    Hi All..
    Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
    I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
    My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
    Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

    Thanks Again!!

  • My music and videos disappeared from my iPod touch!!! :(

    I just realized today that I've lost all my music and videos (movies, podcasts, etc.) from my iPod! I haven't connected it to our computer in quite a while, I've just been charging it with a wall-plug.
    I did go onto wireless internet at the airport last week, but I don't know if that would have corrupted it?
    The problem is, I can't re-load all the music and videos back onto my iPod, because the USB ports on my laptop aren't working, and that's where my iTunes are... Is there another way to transfer my iTunes content to somebody else's computer? Burning my songs on CD's isn't an option - i have 1500 songs, and I've been able to fit about 20 on a CD....
    HELP please!!!

    yes, same here.. my apps are still there, but music and videos are gone...
    please, can anybody help?? i can't put the music back onto my iPod, because my usb ports aren't working... what can i do???

    That may be a problem with the VLC plugin. VLC has never worked for me properly on the occasions that I've tried it on Windows and Linux, so I have stop using it. There are usually other plugins or media players available that work better.
    What kind of media files are that?
    For WMP files you can install the new Windows Media Player plugin you can also try RealPlayer and QuickTime if it is about media that those programs can handle to see if that works better.

  • How to get back music and video conent after updating ipod

    I have recently updated my ipod touch. And when it restored tmy stuff back it only put back my photos and apps, but deleted my music and videos. I already tried restoring form an back-up and it did not work. please help, that was a lot of music.

    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
    If for some reason you have failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating ( as you always should), then you will have to redownload whatever you can:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Getting purchased music and video from itunes

    I deleted some music and videos that i purchased from itunes store by accident from my computer. Is there a way that i can retrieve it from the store again without paying for it? I was able to view everything that I purchased but I couldn't find a way to download them again. Thanks
    marc

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

    Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
    On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
    I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
    The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
    My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
    Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

    Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
    I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
    Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
    1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
    2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
    3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
    Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

  • Why does my volume for music or videos not play externally, but it does for my alarm or phone calls?

    I can not get the volume on my IPhone 4S to play externally for music and videos. However, the sound for my alarms and phone calls do sound externally. Also, the buttons on the side of the phone for volume control no longer appear to be working? What can I do to fix this?  Thank you.

    Hello Jack,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • Only one music video purchased from itunes is not playing on IPod

    I purchased several music videos from itunes and they all seem to sync to my ipod just fine but one of them will not play. The other three I purchased is playing fine both visual and audio but only one will not play at all. When I click on it, the screen just goes black and after several seconds, returns me to the menu listing the name of the video. It plays on my daughter's ipod just fine and we both have the same IPod. I've tried to re-sync and reset but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me. Thx!

    It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
    Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

  • Purchased music will no longer play on iPod only

    Has anyone else had this problem with iTunes 6? None of my purchased music wil play on my iPod anymore, I have updated to the latest versions of all the software, iTunes, iPod and QuickTime. I bought music today. As soon as I copied it to my iPod, not only will the new music not play, but nothing I have purchased from iTunes will play anymore. The device simply skips to the next song on the list not from iTunes. No messages or explanation. It simply ignores the files and moves on to the next. All music plays on my computer. This seems to be an iPod problem, and there are no updates to add for it. It only happened after I upgraded to and purchased music from iTunes 6, Any ideas? All suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you for responding. I am using iPod software 2.3 on what I believe is a second generation 15GB iPod, the one with the four buttons below thw screen; the last one before the click wheel version. I think it's the only one they made in 15GB size. Anyway, 2.3 is the most updated software that this model can take. I've noticed from the discussions that many people are having similar problems that vary a bit. I hope Apple is noticing these glitches.
