TV Show and other movies wont play?

Hello all,
I just downloaded some TV episodes off of itunes and put them on my ipod, yet they wont play! They play fine in itunes, and when i play them on my ipod, it doesn't play. There's just a black screen and it doesn't progress time-wise, what's up?

If you have already tried resetting your iPod, try reinstalling the latest firmware using iTunes. If that doesn't help, you may have to do a complete restore.

  • Front Row on Snow Leopard has audio out of sync on movies and TV shows and some movies wont show images.

    I have an iMac Core Duo 2GHz (yes, first Intel iMac). I have Snow Leopard v10.6.8 (latest/last MacOS version I could load) with the most recent Security Update (2013-003).
    I have two issues with Front Row:
    • Some of the movie files will not show the images, but I can hear the audio.
    • On other movies and TV shows they start fine, but within a few minutes the audio is out of sync with the images, running about 3-5 seconds ahead... Looks like a bad dub of a Japanese movie from the 60s.
    Now, I know it's related to Front Row, because when I jump over to iTunes and start the same movie or TV show it begins where I left off in Front Row, but images are fine and audio is suddenly in-sync.
    However, with Snow Leopard being 2 major upgrades back - 3 if you count the upcoming Mavericks release - I doubt this registers as a "brouhaha" on Apple's radar screens. Then, again, maybe the spirit of Steve won't tolerate this Microsoft-like quirk, even if my iMac is still chugging along after 7 years and multiple MacOS X upgrades & updates...

    I think I found my answer... or culprit. It has to do with Snow Leopard, and my iMac Core Duo, being the last of the dying breed of 32-bit systems, and that iTunes v11.x is 64-bit (heavily, at least)...
    Guess I need to break down and replace my 7 year old iMac, even though it still works beautifully (otherwise).

  • Videos on yahoo and other websites wont play

    Yahoo videos and videos from other websites won't play. I am thinking it's because of adobe flash player but I updated it and I still cant watch videos. Yes youtube works.
    Speed dial isn't working right either. It's an add on. It wont let me add a website to the dial. already tried uninstalling and reinstalling this.

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

  • 9 out of 10 DVD movies wont play

    Hi all,
    9 out of 10 DVD movies wont play on my mac G5. They worked a couple of months ago. And as far a I know, there is nothing wrong with my DVD writer, cause i can read/write data, audio and self made dvd movies.
    The dvd movies themselves are the right region code...
    Also, I just bought a 23" Cinema display with one dead pixel, should I return it?
    Best,
    Tim.

    Hi tim jans,
    I don't know much about the PPC G5 since I have a MacPro and you have posted here in the MacPro section but I'll try to help anyway.
    1) Did you update DVD player?
    2) It happed to me a few times that my MacPro would not recognize DVDs after being on for wuite a prolonged time with other apps. I simply restart the Mac and everything comes back to normal.
    3) Has your problem started when you got your Cinema Display? I heard you need a higher end Video Card to be compatible with the Cinema Displays but I'm not certain if it applies with all the Cinema Displays.
    4) If you have a dead pixel on your expensive Cinema Display, I would certainly return it since they cost so much.
    5) Have been able to watch movies with another monitor hooked onto your G5?
    PS: Have you tried posting in the PPC G5 section?
    Hope this helps in any way.
    Rio.

    Hi alicia243,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone wont power on, I recommend going through these steps first:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • I need help i dropped my phone in water, dried it, and now it wont play sound except for on the headphones

    i dropped my phone in water and now it wont play sound except in headphones and i even dried it!

    You'll have to buy an out of warranty phone at the apple store.
    Just because you dried doesn't mean that there wasn't any damage done.

    If in settings, music, volume limit is off then restart your phone first. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
