Video app blank display

I can not get the video app to display anything other than a blank screen.

Quit the videos app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or ... Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and hopefully it will start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

IPhone video in videos app cannot rotate

When I viewing video in videos app, the display is always landscape mode. But viewing video in Facebook, the display is always portrait mode. What can I do so that the video can change the display mode when I rotate my phone. Thanks

Could be a probelm with the app itself mate. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. Also may be contact the DEV and see if they have any problems with the app.

Video app just goes blank

We've just bought an IPad 2, love it but we now cannot play videos from ITunes using the videos app. It constantly displays a blank screen when opened even after the app has been killed and the iPad has been rebooted. Any ideas please?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.

How can I get TV show titles to display properly in the video app

Hi,
I have an iPad (1) which I have updated to iOS5.
I have noticed that in the Video app, TV shows that I have created from my own DVDs only show the season and not the show title, but have a leading comma before the season as though something is missing.
As an example, say I have episodes of Angel Season 3 on my iPad. The title bar at the top of the page only says " , Season 3" instead of "Angel, Season 3"
This doesn't happen with iTunes purchased content which appears to display as expected. However I've looked through all the tags and can't see anything I'm missing.
Has anyone experienced the same? Is there a solution - even if it involves new tags? I previously got all my tags working really well across iTunes, iPad and Apple TV so this is a bit frustrating for me.
Thanks,
Calvin

What kind of local files are you trying to open and what kind of content is on the pages?
Are that files that you've saved from the internet?

IPad Video App- Titles Not Displaying

Hello.. I've synced some movies to my iPad and in the Video app, the Movies used to have names underneath the cover art. For some reason, it's not being displayed. I don't know why this is happening. This did start after I signed up with iTunes Match. The Music Videos that I have show the title and have a cloud next to it. Don't know if this is related.
I also restarted the iPad and when I launched the Video App, as it loaded, I noticed the white text before the thumnails loaded, covering the text with the cover art. Very odd. These are iTunes cover art, so something is definitely wrong.
The movies I transferred that I created in iMovie, do show the title since the thumnails/cover art are much more of a square and then you can see it.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

Videos not displayed in Videos app

Back when I updated to iOS 6 some videos disappeared from the Videos app. Now I realize that the videos show in the movies section under "On this iPad" in iTunes when I connect, which I don't do very often. I can actually play the videos in iTunes but I can't delete them. Since I can't find them on the iPad I can't delete them there either. The videos together take up about 1.3 GB and I'd like to recover that space. I tried creating some new videos with the same name to see if they would show up but that didn't work. Any idea how to remove these hidden videos?

I decided to take the plunge and restore the iPad mini as new. Pain in the rear end having to log in to all of the apps that I reinstalled. Oh well. FaceTime now works. On the whole the iPad runs more smoothly. Running iOS 8.1.2. I still have issue with artwork not displaying on some of the video files that I had synced to the iPad mini from my iMac through iTunes. The problem is only with artwork that I had associated to the files. The same file won't show it's artwork on my iPhone 4s running iOS 8.1.2 either. Yet, when I sync that same video file to my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6.1.6, the artwork displays correctly as I had associated it in iTunes. This leads me to conclude that the problem lies in the iOS 8 upgrade.

Video app fails to display thumbnails

I have an iPod touch 4g running ios 6.1, I was able to see thumbnails to the left of my videos in the Videos app. Recently however, my iPod is not displaying thumbnails for videos anymore. I am able to see it with iTunes. I just open "Get info" and open the summary tab, but the thumbnail disappears after I sync the video with my iPod and view "Get info" from the device tab. Any suggestions? I should mention I would prefer a solution that does not involve restoring my iPod. Thank you. :)

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.
- Unsync or delete the videos and resync them
- 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.

My video app that is preloaded on the IPAD will not open. all I can see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix it?

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

Video app: how to display audio language?

Using Apple's native video app to watch movies on my iPad, I wonder why (if you have a movie with multiple audio tracks) those languages aren't displayed. Say you have a movie with english and french audio track. Now, if you want to chose or change the audio, instead of displaying 'English' and 'French' you only get 'Stereo' and ...'Stereo'.
I remember in former iOS versions, the languages were displayed.
Note: Movies with subtitles, you see the actual subtitle language. To turn subtitles on or off for a movie with english subs, you get 'Off' and 'English' !

Many thanks for your quick and helpful suggestions, but they didn't quite solve my issue. Bear with me, I'm an FCP7 expert considering making a leap to the dark side. So far, all looks great in Premiere CC except this one sticking point -- displaying audio and video in separate windows for logging. Why is that so difficult?
I tried the "Gang Source and Program" technique, which did open audio in source and video in program, but one of the two playback windows freezes, e.g. if the cursor is in audio (source) the video (in program) is stuck in pause. I reduced playback quality and size to minimum values, and have a powerful macpro with 12 cores and 24G of ram. IF there is some setting I'm not using to make both windows play, that would solve my problem.
I don't want to just make the edits in timeline because I would like to create subclips to use and re-use in the future. Any resulting jump-cuts will be covered with cutaways.
It is handy to be able to see both the audio waveform and the video while editing dialogue -- very easy to do in FCP.

Have you checked that the App is compatable with your 2nd Gen iPod and its iOS version...
The 2nd Gen can Only go to iOS 4.2.1

Rented movie; will not display; native video app will not display any of my videos

I rented a movie last night using the iTunes Store app on my iPad. The movie just barely started, then froze. Now the native video app doesn't work at all. I can tell that it's "on" when I touch the "video" app -- the screen displays nothing, but it's dimly lit. Help! Has anyone else had this problem?

Carolyn: I was able, through more research in the discussion groups, to find a solution that resolved my problem! In the HD>applications folder>safari>get info I checked the "open in 32 bit mode" box. Then I went to Adobe Reader>preferences>Internet and unchecked the box "display PDF in browser using" [Adobe Reader 9.3.3]. I then closed my Safari Browser, restarted the computer and, happy days are here again! On my older G5 I only had to set the preferences on the Adobe Preferences, as Safari 5.0.1 only appears to work in 32 bit mode, as the 32 bit mode check box was not there. You may want to pass this on to other users with the same or similar problems.

Why doesn't the video app display libraries with filters?

Why doesn't the video app display my shared video library like the music app does music? ie. no genre, tv show title. Or how about how displaying them like when i.m using the remote app on my apple tv? Either one of these two interfaces is better than loading four hundred thumbnails. The video app is useless when I want to choose a move from my shared library. If apple wants me to buy movies and tv shows from the iTunes store they should give me a better way to choose them from my library,

Hi,
You can also set the iPhone number by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone.
This links the iPhone Number to the Apple ID.
Soon afterwards a pop up messages will appear on the Mac saying the iPhone is using it's Number and the Apple ID (if it has not appeared in five minuted restart Messages)
Accepting add the phone number to Messages as a "Send From" and Receive option.
On both the iPhone and the Mac version of Messages you can then chose the "Send From " ID or iPhone number.

My video app keeps showing a blank screen

After updating to the iOs 4.3.5, my iPad 1 started to experience lagging in my default videos application. Recently it stopped working completely and shows a blank black screen whenever I open it, can anyone please help thank you!

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Video app does not play. Now goes to blank screen.
