Trouble playing back videos on my iPod touch

I recently started having trouble playing back video on my iPod touch. I have the most recent versions of iPod software, iTunes, and Quicktime. The video podcasts sync just fine but only play audio...no video. I basically get the first frame of the video and that's it. I have tried restoring the iPod, resetting it, deauthorizing/reauthorizing my iMac (using Leopard), etc. Nothing works. Interestingly, my wife has a nano and she suddenly cannot sync videos even though it was working fine just 2-3 weeks ago. These are basic m4v files that are downloaded from iTunes, so they should work. I believe this started after the last iPod software update but I can't be certain. Is anyone else having this problem?

Try starting video playback under the video section-not the audio section.

  • Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

  • Can't play home videos made on ipod touch 4g  through apple tv 2

    The videos downloaded from itunes work, but I bought the apple tv so i could watch my personal videos made with the ipod touch 4g, 1 out of 10 tries it works after exiting the camera and going back in but it only allows one video to be watched.

    LOL OK for some odd reason now I can't access my videos made with ipod touch 4g through the photos icon. The "Albums" title sits on top of the "camera roll" folder making it impossible to touch and access it. Anyone else have this problem? I think I will just return my apple tv 2, it's just been frustrating.

  • Trouble playing iTunes Video on My iPod

    Question: I can not play an iTunes video on my iPod
    I downloaded an iTunes video yesterday for 1.99. I synchronized it to my iPod. I can listen to it on my iPod but the video does not play on my iPod. I am able to watch the video via iTunes.
    Any recommendations.
    Thanks,

    Try turning TV Out off (on your iPod). You can do so by going to Main Menu --> Videos --> Video Settings --> TV Out --> Off.
    Hope this helps.

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

  • How do I play video from my ipod touch on my tv

    I want to play a downloaded video from my ipod touch on my tv, everything I've read so far talks about jailbreaking my ipod and this is something I really don't want to do. My tv has HDMI, USB and AV cable ports, I've tried plugging in via the USB with the standard cable but nothing happens, do I need a different cable or an app to make it work. Thanks.

    You need an adopter, See:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    or using AirPlay with an Apple TV
    Note that only the 5G iPod mirrors the iPod's screen on a TV. The 4G and below only display TV out with apps that support TV out

  • Playing video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system.

    I get sound but no video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system. It keeps saying to change the TV Output to AV (Composite Video). I know it's hooked up properly as everything else works and I can get horizontal rolling with no color but nothing better.  Before I pay for apple support does anyone have any ideas?
    (My tv is also panasonic and the ipod is 4th generation)
    Many thanks

    OK, I can get the video to play, but I have no ability to scroll thru the movie.

  • Video output from iPod Touch (2nd gen) via AV Component Cable (no audio)

    Hi, I'm trying to output a video from my iPod Touch (2nd gen) to my TV via a AV Component Cable.
    Unfortunately the audio doesn't work, I'm sure they are all connected into the right places.
    The video works, but I get no audio. (And no subtitles when closed caption is on)
    Here is a link to an image of the TV connections from ImageShack:
    http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7280/img0204y.jpg
    At the top left of the image, are what I assume to be the red and white audio ports, highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the red and white audio connectors into those ports.
    And towards the bottom are three ports, green, blue and red, also highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the green, blue and red connectors into those ports.
    I changed the input of the TV to Input 2, I see the video for the movie I'm watching on the TV but no audio. I tried multiple movies.
    I've also tried changing the video output from PAL to NTSC and back again, turning Widescreen on and off and turning Closed Captions on and off. I also tried plugging in the red and white audio connectors into the row of ports just below the green/blue/red row, to see if that made any difference, and it didn't.
    I tapped the bottom left button of the iPod Touch when plugged in to the TV and playing video and it came up with an option that was selected called ~"Audio Source: English (Stereo)"
    Any idea's? Thanks.

    Resolved... ThankYou

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)
    Chris

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • Can I watch videos from my iPod touch 4th gen on my tv

    I have purchased a composite video AV cable to TV RCA cable to watch my videos from my iPod touch through my tv. The lead apparently works with all ipod touch and iPhone 4, and all software updated, but I can not change my video settings to play through the tv as I don't have the option to change to tv out.
    Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thanks

    Ok, I have music videos on my iPod, purchased from iTunes and I want to view them on my tv. I bought the cable as I was told this would work. If you can't view a video bought from iTunes on a tv, what can you view?
    All connections are correct, the iPod states that the video is being played through a tv, but nothing shows up on my screen. And yes, I do know which channel to switch to. I just don't have the option on my iPod or iPhone to switch to tv out, whether the cable is plugged in or not. Every where I look for info it says I need to change my options to video out on my iPod settings, but it's not an option available. All I get on my tv is a plain screen as if nothing is connected.

  • Why can't I share any videos on my iPod touch?

    Whenever I go to share one of my videos on my iPod touch, I select which ones I want and select share, but then no buttons pop up or anything. There aren't any options like when I go to send photos. Anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

    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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
