Some videos don't play on iPod
Hello Folks
I've sorted out the pictures problem wit my classic.
But now the Videos, When i first loaded a bath of videos (Encoded with any video converter as .mp4) to my Classic 2009, they played fine on the ipod and itunes, yesterday tried to load another videos (encoded with E.M.C Total Video Converter) as mp4 extension.
All the videos play well on itunes. but those i tried to load yesterday yes they trasferred to ipod, I got no message like "cannot transfer to ipod", they transferred well.
When i clicked videos> and selected one of them, they played briefly for about 5 s. and then the menu returned back....
I tried resetting, restoring and no avail... so here's the info i gathered with MediaInfo

I tried reinstalling itunes and still videos not playing, can some one help me?
I suspect those videos that don't have the Base Media / Version 2 are the problematic ones, what i can do?
Can iPods play MP4 version 1.0? becuse those that play are Version 2.0

Videos don't play and ipod won't sync or play anything
Will older versions support a video ipod?
Every time I try to play a video (either downloaded from itunes or one that has been converted) itunes crashes, same happens when I attach my ipod.
Anyone noticed the itunes radio buffering every 15 seconds too?I have no problems with any other radio so know it is nothing to do with my broadband connection.
Would getting rid of the new version and installing an older one get rid of these problems?
Thanks for any help.

Videos don't play on iPod. Please help!!!
I'm not very computer savvy, but I have been recently downloading TV shows from iTunes and the last two episodes - downloads completed after installing iTunes update - will not play on the iPod. They sync to it, appear on the menu, and even play through iTunes, but nothing happens on the iPod. All episodes downloaded before the update work, and all current podcasts too.
Please helpSee if any of these articles help.

Videos don't play inside blogs?
How come my videos don't play. I thought you could just drag and drop a video inside a blog and it would turn it into a podcast or at least could be watchable. It just goes to a no page apple thing.
As you can see, I am just figuring it out..
http://web.mac.com/latelyoften/iWeb/ech/life%20rush/life%20rush.html
thanks for the helpellie?
To start with you should only have to specify your short iWeb URL in order to reach your pages. The problem with using the longer page URLs is that you are likely to change these (and with them, the URL), whereas the short iWeb URL will always lead to your default start page.
http://web.mac.com/latelyoften
Try that. Goes to your pages just fine.
As far as your video goes, there are some pages in your blog that aren't even there anymore for whatever reason. It also seems that on some pages, your movie files are no longer present. Have you been picking through the sitefolder possibly?
For starters, I would strive to keep a single format for your movies. You want them to be able to be played while they are downloading, so I recommend enabling what is called "fast start" in your movies. Don't know what this is? No problem. I'm about to give you a one click kind of fix for your video files.
Try downloading this program called iSquint. You can get it at http://www.isquint.org . It's a free program, so there's no reason not to give it a shot. Basically, all you have to do is to open this program, then drop all of your movie files into the list window, then select a quality setting using the slider, and hit go. Your movies will then be automagically converted to a very uniform .mp4 format complete with fast-start enabled. All that's left to do is to drag your newly formatted movies into iWeb and put them on your podcast pages.
After you are done placing your movies where you want them, I would highly recommend doing a "Publish ALL to .Mac" command under the File menu. There are currently a lot of strange things going on with your site with missing pages and what not. This "Publish All to .Mac" command will clean everything out and lay everything back down file by file...and with your new movie files. I think you will find a real improvement!
Let me know! -
I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!
tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on. -
Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

Some videos I shot play herky-jerky on my Ipad, others OK- same camera
Some videos I shot play herky-jerky on my Ipad, others OK- same camera shot all in HD, processed in Adobe Premier and exported in Vimeo to my main computer, then synched to my Ipad. Again, EVERYTHING IS IDENTICAL, but 25% of the uploaded (synched) videos paly herky-jerky. Can't figure out why?
You need to save to the camera roll of the iPad, not the Movies app.
So you will need to save the videos to the iPad via the Photos Tab.
If you can see the video in the photos app then iMovie can see them.
If you can see the videos in the movies app then iMovie cannot (Movies is for copyright movies so iMovie does not look there).
There are a few threadson here that have the same question as yours.
You can have a look at them. -
Videos don't play or only play audio in pptx 2010 but they do play in ppts2013
We have a PowerPoint presentation created in 2013. It has a number of YouTube videos embedded in it. When we view the presentation in PowerPoint 2010, the videos don't play at all and there is just a black screen OR only the audio plays
with a black screen OR the video ends mid stream and the audio continues.
How can I get all of the videos to play properly?How can I get all of the videos to play properly?
We need to detail the quesion as below:
For the local video, (wmv, avi, flv) which is saved in PPT/PPTX data file, we just make sure that the host machine installed the proper video codec package and the video in PPT would play well.
For the online video/streaming video, it doesn't only depend on the host machine, but also network environment or video source(in this case, we say the video in YouTube).
Hope these help.

Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions)
Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions) particularly on facebook. I have the latest version of shockwave flash. Here's what I've tried and has not worked: disabled ad blocker, turned hardware acceleration on/off, installed WMP plug-in, installed VLC multimedia plug-in, installed quick time plug-in, changed plugin-container.exe compatibility to win98/ME. Samething in Win 7. Thanks.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
Some videos will not play (blank screen).
Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
Thanks in advance.
iTunes Ver 10.5.1.42
iPod Classic 30Gb Ver 1.3
O/S Windows XP SP3Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library? Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

Video wouldn't play on iPod; Used Videora & still won't work
Hey guys, I have a 30 GB Video iPod, and I'm a bit new at this. I have some videos I downloaded and when I tried putting them into my iPod, it said it could not be played, since it was in .avi format.
But then, I found out about Videora, so I decided to try to convert my videos in Videora so it can play on my iPod video. Now, if anyone has used Videora before, they know that they have alot of options like MPEG-4/320x240/768 kpbs Stereo/128 kbps to H264/320x240/16:9/640 kpbs Stereo/128 Kpbs. When my video finished converting, I tried putting it into my iPod again, and it said it could not be played, even though it was in .mp4 format.
Could someone please tell me which one I should use, MPEG-4 or H264 ? And tell me what I'm doing wrong? I used Videora once to download a video, and now I can't seem to remember what I did. PLEASE HELP!?

Mpeg - 4 videos won't play on ipod classic
I have several movies I've created in mpeg-4 and they won't copy to my iPod classic because it says the format isn't supported. Guess I don't understand since they are supposed to play on an iPod classic.
try to make sure that the bitrate and resolution is suitable for playing on iPod.
the general limits which the iPod carry.
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Try to lower the bitrate and resolution, maybe this will help.
if this still doesn't work, try another video to iPod video converter instead.

Videos won't play on iPod touch?
So, I have two iPod touch, 4th gen and 5th gen, I recently downloaded some videos outside of iTunes, they will sync onto my 5th gen iPod and play just fine, but when I try to sync them onto my 4th gen iPod it say's "I't cannot be played on this iPod". Why? It's an MPEG-4 file and I have plenty of space on my iPod. I've tried resetting it. Everything, why is this? And does anyone know how I can play them on my iPod touch 4th generation?
Maybe here:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
However, I looked a the specs for the 4G and 5G and they both say they play the same video formats.
All I can suggest is the stand at fixes
Try:
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
After 3.0 Upgrade, some songs don't play
I recent upgraded my iPod Touch. Everything still works fine for the most part, except for one small detail -- some random songs don't play. It shows them as playing, it loads, and the tracking bar moves like it normally should, but there's no sound at all. I tried restarting the iPod and resyncing it to no avail. I'm going to attempt a restore here. As of now I can't find any connection between the random songs that will or won't play.
What can I try to do to fix this? If I must I'll try to go back to an older version, though I'd like that to be my last resort.
Thanks.Yeah, they worked in iTunes, I double checked that. In fact I found out because I tried playing some songs in my car and thought, hey, they worked fine on iTunes earlier today.
However, I ended up restoring it back to default settings through iTunes and letting it sync everything back up again, and it worked. 0.o Which is odd, since only a few songs didn't work, and I didn't change anything, but meh, this is technology. If it works, don't ask questions, just accept it.
Thank you!
