Upgraded my iPad to IOS 7 and can no longer play videos and podcasts

Can anyone offer any advice?

The videos are standard tv shows and movies from iTunes. In the older IOS when I opened the 'movie' icon all I saw were the videos that I had downloaded to my iPad. Now I get routed to something that looks like the 'purchased' section of the iTunes storeand it seems that I have to load every video from the cloud. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I would like to be able to watch video when I am NOT connected to wifi, like on a plane and such.

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications.
The applications appear in the screen, but when I tap on any one of them, they do not open.
Can some one tell me what to do to be able to use my application again?

Sorry, I'm reposting this because of spelling error in my previous post (I must turn that 'auto-correct' off).
Since I posted my questions, the only thing I figured out was to turn the 'iCloud' in the Settings on and now the plus sign is on and all my previous appointments appeared. While this is a solution, what if I don't want to use iCloud? But I'm happy for now that my Calendar works.

HT4623 I upgraded my ipad to ios 7 and it's one requesting a passcode have no idea what it is because I never had a passcode. Tried to connect to iTunes on my mac but still won't work

I upgraded my ipad to ios 7 and now it's asking for a passcode. Have no idea what to enter because I never needed a passcode. Connected it to iTunes on my mac but still doesn't work

Hi Lmprettyman,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article has more information on passcode lock and how to return your iPod to working order:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
All the best,
Jeremy

Anyone have any ideas?

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

I upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and cannot restore missing apps.

I upgraded my iPad 2 to the latest iOS 7 and lost several apps. Some of which I paid for, like Pages and Numbers. With that, I lost all the documents buried in iBooks, Pages, Numbers, etc.
I tried to sync with my computer, but one thing Apple does not tell you is that you must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system. My desk top is working great and no reason to replace.
Next try was to re download the app from the App Store. iBooks was a success, everything came back, no charge. I had to pay for Pages, it appears to be an upgraded version made for iOS 7, no documents were restored. I do not see the older version available. I did not waste time and money on the rest of the missing apps.
Any suggestions.

Yes, I did back up my iPad to my computer before upgrading to iOS 7. However, since upgrading to iOS 7, my iPad will no longer sync with my iMac. You must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system.

Since updating to iOS 7 I can no longer play specific genres of music on my iPhone 4s

Used to be that when I was in the mode for some country or classical music I could go and shuffle the entire genre available on my phone and it would play. However after updating to iOS 7 that is no longer avaiable so far as I can tell.

I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps. Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
Please follow this steps:
1) Double tap the home button
2) Hold down on an icon
3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
5) Tap Settings
6) Tap General
7) Tap Reset
8) Tap Network Settings
Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again.
Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7.
Otherwise I'm having a little success with this. Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all). So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

Since upgrading to FF Ver. 24, I can no longer view videos/clips from fox News. What add-on do I need? Everything else seems to be working OK.

Since upgrading to ver. 24, I can no longer view the video clips from Fox News. the clip comes up but will not play. I don't have a problem using IE. I seldom use IE and FF is my main browser. What add-on or control do I need to rectify this situation? My e-mail is [email protected]

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.

''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.

Can no longer playing my own podcasts with QuickTime on Mac.

When checking my latest Garage Band podcast, I got ? in Q with message to download latest QuickTime. I did that but still get ? in Q. I can play my podcasts on PC with QuickTime in Windows XP, but not on my Mac. My 2GHz Macbook is new and has no additional software to interfere. It will, however, play some other podcasts from iTunes, though only some. My podcast address is http://web.mac.com/daveyesitsme
David Powell
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GHz Intel Core2 Duo

No more ? in Q. Roger, thanks for confirming that the problem was not my Garage Band podcasts. After further, failed investigations with settings, I downloaded Firefox browser, as suggested by a previous post. Using Firefox my podcasts open perfectly with QuickTime 7.1.6. Why not in Safari? - beats me. Glad you checked.
David Powell
Your podcasts play OK on my G4 iMac with 10.3.9. and
QT 7.0.4. I believe the latest version of QT has been
causing problems (not for the first time), so I have
avoided it: but anyway the problem is local to your
Mac, the podcasts are fine. You could try asking in
the QuickTime forum.

Copy the backup folder to another computer that can run the latest version of iTunes and restore on that one, make sure to disable autosync before you connect.
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.

Can no longer play video from Canon PowerShot with QT Pro

Don't know what's changed. I have played these videos many times before. They were taken by my son who is active duty Navy overseas, so they are important to me. The "Movie Info" from QT says the format is: 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz/MJPG, 320 x 240, Millions. QT "Movie Properties" list MVI_0025.mov, but the Audio Settings and Presentation choices are greyed out. The Video Trach is shown as MJPG as you would expect. I can't "save as" or "export" so re-encoding is out. I'm at a loss here. Why they played before and not now is beyond me. They were added to my Hard Drive via Iomega's Floppy plus 7-in-1 card reader. The actual video was taken with a Canon PowerShot A510 and recorded to a SanDisk 512MB SD Card which I copied to my hard drive through the card reader with no problems. My G4 runs great with no problems. These videos were added to two logins which both fail to play now. Sound is fine. Anyone have any ideas how this could have happened or what to do?

QuickTimeKirk,
Fortunately I can boot to OS9.2. The problem is that the OS goes so far back in time that I'm not sure I could figure out where to install a codec that would work. And I'm afraid the bigger problem is, where would I download the right codec? (In OS9 that would be a QuickTime plug-in, right?) I tried Classic, using QuickTime 5.0.2. No good. I get the standard message "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." I guess when I saw MJPG I was really thinking MJPEG and couldn't se why it wouldn't work. I see now that these are very different codecs. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did some digging and I believe the codec needed came with QuickTime 2.5. Also, if it makes any difference, I neglected to say that I use Flip4Mac WMV. I don't see how that would adversely effect a video file with a MJPG format but I thought I should mention it. Thanks for responding!

I can no longer play video in iTunes.

I have a bunch of movies that I have ripped and several downloaded from the iTunes store. All of a sudden, none of them will play. When I press the play button, I get a black screen and the slider is set to where it was the last time I watched, but nothing happens. iTunes does not crash, but will not play...no sound, no video, nothing at all. These are all videos and movies that I have watched before, they are in the correct format.
I have upgraded to 11, but the same thing happened in 10. I have also tried re-installing quictime.

The usual explanation for this is that:
1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.
