Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
what did i do wrong.

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not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Video and Music not playing anymore ZiiO 10"

    Music and Video are not playing anymore on my ZiiO 0".
    I I click on Zii video, and then click on a .avi file, the screen stays black. If I click on the back button (the physical button) the following message appears:
    Sorry!
    Activity ZiiVideo (in Application Ziivideo) is not responding. I can Force close or wait (but when I click wait the screen still stays black). Force close closes the application of course.
    This problem also applies for ZiiMusic.
    I bought the tablet yesterday. Everything was working fine, also with android 2.. After the upgrade to 2.2 Froyo, ZiiVideo/ZiiMusic was working fine as well.
    After placing a few new video/mp3 files and trying to play, the problem appeared.
    The only files?I deleted during the placing of the new video/music files, were the SAMPLE video/music files of Ziio.
    I tried the following:
    - Factory reset (Settings --> Privacy)
    - Re-installing the firmware (I have the correct firmware), by going through the steps of the firmware process again (firmware succeeds)
    ZiiPhoto is working as well as the Webbrowser. However, when I go to Youtube and then click on a video, ZiiVideo is again not able to play the video (Ziivideo hangs, screen stays black).
    Update: Just noticed camera is not working anymore. Same error as when trying to play a Video/Music file.
    Help!

    Problem solved.
    I copied an Album with MP3 tracks which were most likely faulty?
    I deleted the MP3 Album, and now everything works.
    I have copied multiple video/MP3 tracks and all play well.
    By the way, do you know of which type the HDMI connector on the Ziio 0" is? Is it type D?
    And which audio formats does it play? I have a few .avi files which play video ok, but no sound?

  • 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 Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

    Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

    I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

  • Purchased music not playing in ipod?!

    I'm having a couple of problems with iTunes in general, but for now I will try to deal with the purchased music problem I'm having.
    I've bought roughly 33 songs from the music store and after a computer "revamping", none of them are showing up in iTunes [along with all of my other songs, but that's another problem addressed here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=271018 ]. I bought another song since the "re-vamping" and it's the only song listed in my "purchased" folder under the "music store". I checked my "purchase history" and all of the roughly 33 songs are listed there! Now, I wouldn't normally worry about that- I moved the songs back into iTunes [into my library] and I can hear them perfectly BUT when I try to play them on my ipod they won't play. Now THAT is bothering me
    I've looked around and after going through other threads and ipod support, I have no idea what to do. ANY help or insight would be helpful!!

    You don't say whether or not your purchases are authorized. Purchases must be authorized in iTunes by playing one of them for a few seconds on the computer, before they will work on the iPod.

  • Videos and Movies not play right

    Vids not play right (distorted), Audo (this time) OK though.
    What do?
    (Why do the vids not have their own list as before in library?)

    Which ever one of these changes I made allowed the vids to work, but I do not know which one it was since I did both one right after the other and then applied, OK, closed QT and then checked vids.
    Which one is most likely?
    Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Open the QuickTime control panel.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Deselect Enable Direct3D video acceleration in the Video section as shown here:
    Click OK.
    Disable DirectX in QuickTime
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Open the QuickTime control panel.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Select Safe mode (GDI only) in the Video section as shown here:
    The Vids worked before the 7 update!
    Why I have to change all this and IT not automatically allow to work with the update?
    Why do I have to make all these changes and adjustments to make IT work again with 7?
    Where is the "videos" section like "music" is under Library? (There use to be one, where is it now? I guess it is called "movies" now, but my music videos are not in there anymore, why and why only movies and not vids too?)

  • Flip Video  and .avi not playing clean in FCP

    Customer gave me 10 flip videos which I imported - they cam in as .avi files. When I play them in Quicktime they are smooth. When I play them in FCP 7 there is some pixelation and jumping around (not playing smooth). I did create the .avi file as a .mov files using Quicktime and reimported into FCP. The new .mov file still plays the same with all the pixelation.
    Read some threads but I'm still a little confused as to what steps to take next.
    Bottom line - I want the .avi file to play smoothly within FCP
    What am I missing - thanks for your help!
    Shelley

    I opened the .AVI file within the program. Then in the menu File menu within the program selected export as a Quicktime move. The specifics on the next screen I kept as default accept I increased the Quality to 100%. The default compressor was - Apple Motion JPEG A. That seemed to do it without any other tweaking for me.
    I hope that helps.

  • Getting videos and movies to play on iPod

    I have many videos and movies, mostly mpeg.
    I have been waiting 4 hours, since I clicked export save movie for iPod play? This is taking 4ever!
    I upgraded to the QT Pro to accomplish this task, and the progess window now shows 28% At this rate it will take me years to save the videos I have - for iPod play!
    Any way to speed up? I can only imagine how long it will take a full length movie???

    Eddy:
    QT Pro is incredibly, incredibly slow - BUT the results are gorgeous and you don't have to fiddle with settings.
    If you value speed over image quality, then you will need to download Handbreak.
    Before you do, you will need to read the iPod DVD Ripping Guide, which explains the process.
    If you want to rip the DVDs you own to your harddrive, get MacTheRipper. Doing so speeds up the process of converting to an iPod-compatible format.

  • Quick Time 7.67 video and audio not playing in CourseCompass MyMathLab

    When I first used MyMathLab through Course Compass, the video and audio played with the digital picture broken up. Since then it stopped running the video and audio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Time more than once without any change. Now when it is trying to load,I just get white screen with Q logo and an arrow running across the bottom of its window.

    I forgot to mention I use Firefox. I just updated to Firefox 3.6.9 today. The quick Time problem already existed before I update Firefox.Is there a problem with Quick Time being compatible with Firefox?

  • Music not playing on Ipod

    I just bought an album from the Itunes store. It all works fine on my computer and in the Itunes library, and when I sync it to my Ipod it is synced fine. But when I try to play it on the Ipod it just skips all the songs I bought. It does not skip any other songs that I had before, just the songs that I bought from the store.

  • My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

    Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.

  • Missing videos and music

    How do I get back purchased videos and music after the hard drive failed and had to get a new one.  Most of my music was recovered from the old hard drive but i am missing some.

    Have you got a backup that you can copy onto the computer and load into iTunes ? Otherwise if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download music purchases (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but films can only be downloaded once from iTunes.

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

  • 5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

    I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"
