Have you uploaded it to a Photo gallery?
Someone posted the other day that videos ib Photo Galleries don't work but do if uploaded as videos.
I can certainly view MobileMe videos I made ages ago on AppleTv.
I'd be surprised if the iPhone video format is wrong for AppleTV, as it adds another argument for iPhones users to get MobieMe, but you never know....

Movies in mobilme gallery won't play in safari on the ipad

The movies I have put on my MobilMe Gallery won't play in Safari on the iPad. The photo gallery works fine, but the movies gallery does not. I created the movies directly from within Quicktime (Share-> MobilMe gallery). Using Safari on my Mac everything works fine. It's only on the iPad that it fails!
What is the matter here? And how to solve this?

Yes, same thing here. I received an email on my iPad with a direct link to a MobileMe gallery movie page. Click on the link and Safari opens just fine, and shows the first image of movie and the text, but no spinning, never loads, can't play.
I know you're supposed to use the MM Gallery app... but... what about those iPad users who don't have MobileMe, but are just redirected by an email link - they could download it, but wouldn't know that.

My videos on Youtube and FB won't play

My videos on Youtube and FB won't play all the sudden. I have downloaded and installed an upgraded Flash but it still doesn't work?

Uninstall Flash completely:

Exporting videos to Mobile Me gallery not working

I have a Mobile Me album in Aperture 3 which only synchronizes photos. Everytime I try to upload a video to the Mobile Me gallery, Aperture hangs during the synchronization process.

Something that works for me; drag the file you want to iMovie and upload from there. It is an extra step, but a lot less agrivation and it works.
Good luck

Ipod 5th gen, video 30bg, will sync/restore, won't play

I am running Windows 7, with all updates (as of 3/14/2014) have itunes 11.1.5.5 showing no available updates. When I plug into the USB port, the ipod gets recognized, Itunes starts. I can see the files on the ipod. I have reset the ipod and restored. Same problem. When I drill down to the actual file I want to listen to, it doesn't play. On the screen the icon changes from pause to the arrow for play, the index line never advances. You can hit the select button, use the scroll wheel to advance through the file, and hit play again, but no noise. There isn't noise if in the dock (which other ipods and iphones work with in the house) there is no noise if the headphones are plugged in. i was thinking harddrive, so I replaced it. couldn't get the new one to function. When the new harddrive was in the unhappy face would come up. I could force into disk mode, in hopes of restoring it, but in disk mode, neither windows and hence itunes would recognize it as an ipod. I put the old hard drive back in thinking maybe I damaged the cable, but it came right up, but with the same problem, it won't play the sounds... I replaced the Zif cable just in case, still the same...
i've sure seen lots of Ipod 5th gen video for sale on Ebay, compared to the 4th that I had, which I broke the scroll wheel cable on, but never had such problems with it. Any thoughts out there from someone who might know what it's doing? It seems weird that it loads the music files, and deletes the music files but won't play them. The only other thing I can think of perhaps is the battery too low to spin the hard drive up to play? It does seem to be a very small (physically) battery compared to the 4th gen... but it is thicker...
When I got it it was doing the low power thing, so I did all the steps to re-charge, and restore, but it won't play the files... Thanks for any thoughts!
Jesse

It sound like you did some good troubleshooting. Thanks for providing the details. I don't think a problem like this is related to the battery.
With a 5th gen iPod (early version) that has a 30GB hard drive, it may have problems using a larger capacity hard drive. That may explain the different problem you had when you replaced the hard drive, if you changed the capacity.
Try the following test. Do another Restore from the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. At the end of the Restore process, choose NOT to sync anything automatically.
Go to the iTunes Store and download a free song. You can find the current free songs by clicking Free on iTunes under QUICK LINKS, on the iTunes Store Home screen.
Manually load that ONE song on the iPod. Disconnect iPod and try to play that one song. Does this same problem occur?

My iPhone 4's ringer or alerts, texts emails videos on YouTube or iPod won't play sounds however when I get a call the sound is loud an clear. I know it's not a problem with the speakers. It once said that it was connected to a tv when connected to dock.

Recently my iPhone 4's sounds are going haywire. I have a Jensen radio iPod dock that I hooked it up to earlier on in the week(first time too) and when it played a song, my iPhone said that this video was being played on a television. Since then the ringer(at times) along with my texts, you tube videos and iPod on my iPhone won't play music through the speakers. However sometimes my ringer comes through. Same as alarms. When I try to adjust the volume settings it doesn't do anything. My speakers work fine. It's just getting it to recognize its not being played on a tv anymore that is annoying.
Does anyone have any clue what to do?
Thanks

DaVBMan, thanks for that post. That clears up something for me. I think I have experienced that funny noise as well. It sounds like a Morse Code message. I have heard that same noise while at Church on it's PA speaker system. When I heard this, I figured the speakers were picking some radio frequency noise, but I couldn't understand what exactly it was. When I purchased my iPhone, I already had an old cable, stereo jack on one end and RCA plugs on the other. I noticed the same noise on my speakers. So, I am figuring if I replace the cable, I should be fine.

Video thumbs became icons and won't play in preview of Bridge

I started a new project in Premiere Pro 6. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but one thing I did differently on a new project was change the DV to HDV, the only time I've done that.
Then when I was importing by dragging from CS6 Bridge a bunch of videos, it looked like they were disappearing, or being moved instead of copied, so I terminated and started over. But after that some thumbnails switched icons and won't play in CS6 preview, though they do when clicked to open in media player.
I think when I finished the video and was starting to export, that a window came up and said dynamic link fail or something. I'd never seen before. Back in CS6, I went to a backup disk and copied the video files that here had thumbs, and copied to the folder with the icons. They had the same number code, but had text in front on the originals. Once I compared to make sure all thumbs and icons were represented, I deleted the icons, and then renamed the thumbs according to my current naming system, so they were just like the replaced ones.
I had exported to queue, and now ran the queue. I got the dynamic link error again, and when I looked back in CS6, the replaced thumbs had become icons like before. Since I still had the window with the other backup disk open, I copied those. But this time, even though they lacked the text in front of them, they arrived as icons instead of thumbs also. I thinkperhaps it is because PP can recognize that they are the same files even though they have different name. Because when I have changed the names of files that are already in a video sequence, and PP asks where the file is, and I indicate the file, it accepts it with the new name, though the old one still shows in the sequence, and doesn't need to be redone when reopened.
The icons, when in PP do play as normal and the export went normally. But the icons won't play in the Bridge preview, and now it seems I can't get back thumbs at all.

Have you tried the Bridge forum?

Video from Contour 2 Plus won't play in FCPX

I'm importing media from a Contour 2+ video camera, none of which will play back in FCPX. The first frame is shown, the length of each clip is correct, and the playhead moves, but nothing but the first frame is ever shown. The media plays back fine in Finder's quick-view and in Quicktime. I've tried converting the media to ProRes 422 (HQ) and HD 1080p in Compressor, but the converted media files won't play in FCPX either.
Some particulars about the original media:
Kind: QuickTime movie
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode
Audio Channels: 2
Any suggestions for resolving this will be most appreciated!

Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode
So what's this coming from?
This medai needs to be properly converted to ProRes with uncompressed audio. Use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

Video already on ipod, but won't play

Videos I put into my iPod only play sound. I know it's not a problem with the file, because I put the video into my iPod before, and worked fine. When I play the video, it does show up in the videos section, but the display on the screen looks like an audio file.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

On the IPOD, go to Videos...then Video Settings....Make sure TV Out is set to off.

Videos on my macbook pro won't play sound after apple tv was installed in the house

Hi! Need some help... for christmas my dad received the little black Apple TV device to watch videos on our big tv from his iPad. After it was installed no sound came from my macbook, it instead comes out of the tv speakers. When dad is airplaying a video from his iPad and I open a video on my mac, the iPad video gets interrupted and the sound from my video comes on without the visual. What's going on?! I see the airplay symbol on the top right bar but it always says disconnected, yet obviously the sound is somehow connected.

that figures, VLC.
Consider getting your dad the APP VLC streamer for his Ipad, that way he can wifi beam movies etc. to his Ipad from any Mac.
removes putting movies on an Ipad and clogging it up with large movie files. Very handy

ITunes treats video's as audio files, won't play video only audio

Hi,
I have the latest iTunes version & the latest OS X lion updates. Late 2009 27" iMac, intel core duo 2, 3.06 ghz. Forgive me if this comes across as rude, I'm used to being able to find my own solution to problems, and this has been frustrating me on and off for years. For as long as iTunes has had music video's and air play available I have the problem of my music videos, movies or video files of any type (all purchased for iTunes store) will only play the audio, no video. The old work around was to disable 'look for remote speakers' and then the video's would play fine (i googled it again to make sure there wasn't a newer work around). However that is not an option now, as iTunes automatically looks for airtunes speakers. The only work around I have found is to disable my network connection in system preferences, then go to iTunes, tell it to try and connect to the remote speakers. Once it fails to find the speakers, all video files work perfectly. Once the network is re-enabled its a 50-50 shot that the fix will work for a while before the problem returns. I have had this problem in pretty much every version of iTunes sense they released music videos. It's not a constant problem either, sometimes videos play fine, most of the time they don't without the workaround. (the problem was present in Snow leopard, leopard and I want to say Tiger, but its hard to remember about Tiger.) I have submitted this problem in the 'submit feedback for iTunes' several times and nothing. I am hoping one of you smart people out there might have an idea for a permanent fix. I wanted to send an email to apple support, but they say I must purchase support because my hardware is 'out of warranty' even though its a software problem, so they are no help. Any help or suggestions you may have are extremely appreciated.
Thank you,

Anyone have any suggestions?

Flash video, .4fv files in particular won't play in Firefox - Any one have any suggesstions? I already updated my Flash player and plays in Internet Explorer and Chrome

If you look at this page in Firefox, http://www.vpi-corp.com/Empower-Demo/index-iframe.asp, you will see that the html portion of the page loads, and if you right click in the white area in the middle, the Flash is present as well. I can view this page correctly in Internet Explorer and Chrome. I have tried to export the movie as far back as Flash 7.0, but will not resolve. I have also been able to see this video for a while in Firefox, but then mysteriously went away. Any help would be appreciated. I suspect some patch to the programming on this page will be necessary.

That f4v file is send as text/plain, maybe that is causing it

IPad says it's sending video via AirPlay, Apple TV won't play it.

When I send video to Apple TV, iPad says the video is playing on AirPlay but the Apple TV refuses to play the video. No audio, no video, nothing. Just a second of the spinning gear like it's trying to play it, then back to whatever it was previously doing. Both devices are at their newest software levels, and resetting the iPad doesn't work.
The only thing that has worked is unplugging the Apple TV, but that only resolves the issue for about a day, and sometimes not at all. HELP?

What kind of content are you trying to play, and from what app?
Is this all music/video/photos or just certain video (which might be incompatible if you've made it yourself)?
Some kind of wireless network issue is most likely, either slow or dropped connections, but if unplugging AppleTV helps it may be worth hooking up to a computer via a microUSB cable and running iTunes to factory restore it.
What kind of network setup do you have?
Can you stream anything via Airplay from iTunes?
