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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Since IOS 5 iPad video app doesn't display correct art for shared videos.

    Hello,
    I like to watch my movies located on my mac computer over my network to my iPad.  Ever since I installed IOS 5 on my iPad when browsing shared movies on iPad the artwork doesn't match the movie making it difficult to pick the correct movie.  When I select a movie, then the correct movie artwork shows up before selecting play.  when clicking back(Shared) button the artwork flips back to the incorrect artwork in the move list.  I've tried rebooting my mac, rebooting my iPad.  I even restored my iPad with no success.  This problem didn't start until I installed IOS 5 on my iPad.  Apple can you please fix this!!!!

    It doesn't work.. I have already tried many ways to close the app. This is the step by step guide I have to follow every time I want to close the video app:
    1. When everything doesn't react - press the lock screen button.
    2. press it again (or the home button) and slide the screen to unlock.
    3. Now the Application doesn't have any picture. Just a black screen, but sound is still running, and it still doesn't react when I am doing anything. Now this was the tricky part to experience, because now I simply press the home button one time and after 12-15 seconds, the application hides and I am back to home screen. (sound still playing.)
    4. Open the task bar and close the app. (Sound is still playing)
    5. Press lock screen button. (sound stop playing).
    6. Unlock the screen and open the video app again to start over.

  • My ipad VIDEOS app doesn't show the movie Names with IOS 7

    I just upgraded to IOS 7.  The Apple VIDEOS app no longer displays the file name for videos that don't have album art.  I have to tap on each video screen shot (which is typically meaningless) to bring up the info/play screen to see the movie's "Name".  Under IOS 6.1.4 (and prior versions) the VIDEOS app displayed the .mp4 file name underneath all videos without album art.
    Is there an option to set to get the "Name" displayed on the VIDEOS main screen, or get a LIST view rather than an icon view, using IOS 7? (I have not found one)
    Since most of my movies do not have album art this makes the VIDEOS app virtually useless.

    OK, I gave up.  You just can't fight city hall.
    After messing with changing from 'Movie' to 'Home Video' I just said screw it.  I just finished doing the following for my 64 'Home Video' movies:
    - I did a Google image search on <movie name> poster
    - I clicked on the thumbnail to bring up the image
    - I did a right-click SAVE IMAGE AS
    - I then did a GET INFO on the movie through iTunes
    - I clicked on the ARTWORK tab
    - I added the image I just found as the the artwork
    - I change the MEDIA KIND back to MOVIE
    - I then recopied the movies I keep on my iPad (about 10) from the PC
    No more problems now either with viewing the local or Shared movie lists from my iPad. As I add new movies I will make sure to manually add the artwork.  What a PITA.
    Hopefully Apple will get this fixed. This movie UI painfulness (that wasn't even a problem on IOS 6.x) is something worthy of Microsoft.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • 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 - TV shows thumbnails

    Hi
    I have my video app set to 'show all videos' on my 5S. This shows all my films and TV shows that are available to download or stream from the cloud. What I noticed is that if I go into the TV shows and select a series, then I click on the cover art and drill down to the series I want where it shows the description and a further thumbnail for each episode (usually a still from that particular episode). Thing is the thumbnails/stills specific to each episode are largely blank. The odd episode has a thumbnail amidst my TV show library but most are blank with just a generic grey box with a TV symbol inside the box. If I select 'show me more episodes' from the same series that I haven't bought, the remaining episodes that I do not own then show in the screen along with my owned episodes except these all have the episode thumbnail. I hope that makes sense.
    Is this a glitch? Do others see the same? I am on the latest 7.1.1 iOS by the way
    Cheers
    Wayne

    When I got home and reconnected to wifi these episode thumbnails loaded in okay so that's all it was.
    But one annoyance is wifi has to be switched on to show the cloud music and videos on the respective apps. If it's off they all disappear despite having 4G cellular. As long as wifi is switched on in the device even if you move out of a wifi zone and into cellular the cloud downloads remain available. It just had to have the wifi toggle on. That's a bit if a bad design from apple in ios as one may not want to have wifi on bad scanning all the time but still want to see the cloud music etc

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 x64 Pro, desktop GUI fails to display correctly, or crashes, when High RAM load, and even after. HW changed, same issue. Please Help.

    Hi Guys,
    I have have this horror issue with my PC. I have even changed the hardware configuration and the problem still persists. My PC fails to display the desktop correctly after using highly RAM intensive applications, especially Chrome, but even after getting
    the chance to close it, or waiting for it to crash by itself, the PC is still not able to display correctly the GUI, even on other browser/applications as shown in the screenshots. 
    1st Hardware Config:
    Intel Core2Quad Q9450
    4x2GB DDR2
    MSI P43 motherboard
    Ati Radeon x550 video card
    Software used, that seemed important for me to mention:
    NOD32 v4.2
    Comodo Firewall 5.12
    Chrome
    Screenshot Captor
    SpeedFan
    Other mentions:
    Aero is disabled, because I've considered that it's one of the causes.
    So, I've considered that it's a RAM issue or a videocard issue, and I've upgraded to:
    Intel Core i7 3770k
    4x8GB DDR3
    Asus P8Z77V-LX motherboard
    Intel GPU integrated in the 3770k CPU
    The problem just happened 2 times on this rig also, and the RAM was not even coming close to  it's maximum capacity of 31.7GB. It was at ~20GB's.
    Also, this is another videocard(Intel's integrated GPU), so we can exclude the videocard from the suspects.
    My suspects:
    1) some desktop manager bugs, or other similar issue
    2)  video memory allocation - I'm still suspecting that it can be caused by the amount of RAM dedicated to the videocard, currently, I think  that it is at 256MB.
    3) some poorly designed components of Chrome/Screenshot Captor - still very questionable since there are enough resources on this system, so there should be no fight over resources. And when the system is barely used there are no issues.
    4) Adobe Shockwave Flash - maybe this one????
    I have attached a set of 20 screenshots here, these were taken on the 1st configuration of my PC, using Q9450:
    http://imgur.com/a/Mc8hI#4
    Notice how it distorts the image by duplicating it and showing it in a smaller space, or how does it displays those black rectangles. In those moments, the PC is fully functional(the apps are running the background), without being slowish or something, but
    you can hardly control it like that. For example, I've tried to remove the mouse from the USB, and then I've insterted it back, the image was not displayed correctly, but the mouse was recognised instantly and the pointer was controlable.
    Same thing still happens on the new configuration. Please advise me.
    LE: OS is Windows 7 x64 SP1 Professional and it's Geniune. There is no cracked software on this PC. No games. I've tried to maintain it as clean as possible.

    Hi,
    First, please be ensured that you have installed the latest drivers and all the updates.
    Then check whether this issue will not in
    Safe Mode. If it didn’t occurred, I suggest you narrow down the cause in
    Clean Boot mode.
    In addition, try to create a new profile to see how it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • After iOS 8.0.2 update, I have missing artwork in Videos app

    I have an iPad mini w/Retina, 128Gb model. I upgraded the iOS version to 8.0.2. Custom artwork created for certain movies is now missing from within the Videos App. I have taken a single video file and re-associated the .jpg image file to the movie from within iTunes 11.4. When I view the movie file in iTunes, the image displays correctly. When synced to my iPad mini, however, the movie has a generic grey image with the title displayed diagonally across the icon. The movie will play correctly, however. When in the Settings app under General/Usage/Manage Usage, I can see Videos thumbnail images displayed. When I click on Videos, all of my movies and their file sizes display to the right. Also, all of the artwork for the video files displays correctly when viewed here as small thumbnails.
    I also have a rather small capacity iPhone 4s that I have placed just 2 video files into. It too is running iOS 8.0.2. for iPhone. Both of the video files are also on my iPad mini. Both videos were created by me and added to my iTunes Library. Both have artwork that I downloaded and then associated to each of the video files. Of the two videos, one displays it's custom artwork while the other does not. Each file replicates it's behaviour on each of my devices.
    I have restored my iPad mini twice and have restored from backup both times. The problematic behaviour remains. I realize that my backup is probably corrupted with this problem as well and that the "Restore as new" option would most likely correct it. I don't want to have to re-enter all of the account, log in and password information for the up to 400 odd apps I have installed nor do I want to have to recreate all of my custom folders for grouping my apps.. This would take me a couple of days to sort out.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this situation without having to "Restore as new"? Should I just wait it out for iOS 8.1 and hope this bug is corrected in that release? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I have an iPhone 5C. 
    iOS 8.0 disabled my Wi-Fi. Actually not just disabled, it made my phone behave as it did not have W-Fi.  I could not re-enable it. 
    Restarting my phone or resetting network settings made me no difference.
    Solution:
    Power down iPhone for a few minutes
    Power-up and Wi-Fi is back again!
    After updating to the latest iOS 8.0.2 it disabled my Wi-Fi again. Following the power-down procedure above fixed it.
