Purchased music videos only play music

figured i would ask here before sitting on the phone for an hour to get an answer.
when i play 2 of my music videos they just show up as black, the music still plays but the visuals are gone. I've tried them in other video players as well, the only difference is, sometimes it shows up as grey instead of black, the music still plays though
The weird thing is my other videos play fine on my computer. even weirder, the 2 videos that don't work, play fine on my ipod.
Anybody know what's wrong and how to fix it?
appreciate your help!
thanks

found a temporary solution, but it still strange. for each clip I did "get info" and changed the media type from "video clip" to "films". Now they play just fine.

  • Purchased music videos only play audio

    I have about a dozen of video clips I bought on iTunes.
    None of them now play in video mode. Only the audio. I rechecked the authorization. Everything is fine.
    I can play other video clips not purchased on itunes. And I can also play the movies I bought on itunes, and others as well.
    I thought this could be a problem with my hard drive being replaced two weeks ago, and reinstalling everything through system dvd that came with computer + Time Machine back up, but I also downloaded the most recent "free video of the week" and it only plays in audio mode as well.
    Anybody has a clue?

  • Music videos only play at full screen

    Is there a way to turn off full screen only play for music videos and MPEG-4s?  I'd like them to play in iTunes without full screen.

    Watch them in the video app.

  • MP4's tagged as music video only play audio + static picture?

    Hi everyone,
    Is it normal that MP4 files, that have been tagged as Music Video (Itunes Media Type), only show a static image on playback instead of a moving image.
    I assumed that a music video would show the video too. Hence the tag name "Music VIDEO"
    So at this point, I'm looking at a still image. Audio plays fine though.
    Thank you for your help,
    Jeroen

    This same exact thing happened to me just recently. My videos played fine since I got my iPod in December and now they just play audio and are organized in with my "music" menu. I've looked around and a lot of people seem to have this happening to them also, but no one has had a real solution that I've found. I think it may have something to do with an iTunes update since the problem happened after I updated.

  • IOS 8 all videos only play in landscape view

    TV Shows, Movies and even Music Videos only play in Landscape view, not Portrait.  Is this everyone's experience?

    The Apple iOS 8 Preview site used to have the wording quoted below (still viewable in the Google search preview) but as noted in http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/, it has been delayed

  • Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

    Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

    I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
    I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

  • Ipad music videos wont play

    I have an Ipad 2 with latest updates,  but now when I sync, no music videos will play on the Ipad and no music video icon is in the playlist , however the song will play?? Any help please?? PS all works well on the Iphone 4

    I also have an Ipad 2 with the latest software.  I reciently purchased the beatles album Let it Be, and Abbey Road.
    Both have a documentary track that includes video.  I only get the audion on the Ipad.  But, i have an ITouch 1st. generation with 3.1.3.  The documentary tracks play the video as well as the audio.
    I have made sure that the sync for the IPad has Sync all music selected as well as Include music videos, and Include voice memos.
    I have seen a lot of issues with the Music app discussed with the latest OS.  They all seem to focus on issues with album art size and music not playing.  I dont seem to have that problem.  Anyone know if this is an additional problem with the new OS?,  or is there some other setting I havent found?
    Thanks for any help.

  • I have an ipod touch  and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

    I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
    Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
    I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
    Thanks.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometmes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes

    my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software

    No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
    The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
    Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
    Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
    Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
    It will have an address something like this:
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
    So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
    Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?
    Best wishes,

  • Shuffle will only play music while charging?

    Found my shuffle from a long time ago, it seems to work fine when I connected to Itune
    Then I found out that It will only play music when it is charging even though the back light is green indicating the battery is full.
    The green light on the front will also flash when I press play, but there is no response (no music came on).
    Anyone experienced this before?
    Thanks alot

    Hi all
    the reason I have a 2nd Gen was ebcause my original
    Shuffle had the same problem, then wouldnt play
    through either unless I HELD the phones in the
    plug..
    Now my new shuffle (2nd Generation) has the early
    signs of this problem. It will not play music through
    the left earphone at all (Ive tried 3 pairs, its not
    the phones)..
    My shuffle was purchase december sometime but I dont
    think I registered it when I installed Itunes.
    Still have recept if that helps?
    Get a replacement soonest.

Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?
