Video file won't update

I keep having issues with these darn iPods! Ok well, my problem this time is this: I just finished converting a file from to mp4. I made sure my computer had the codec and everything first, and then when I finished converting it to MP4, I tried to add it to my library, but nothing happened. I tried changing the name of the file from 'Mortal Kombat II Annihilation' to 'Mortal Kombat II', and still when I press 'Open' nothing happens! Is it too late to save the file? Or perhaps is there another format iPods could read other than just MP4? Please help me out, thank you!

I believe the iPod supports more than just MPEG4.
Also supported are:
1. H.264 (mpeg4 variant)
2. M4V
3. MOV
"H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • Video files won't move to new computer

    I imported a bunch of TV shows into iTunes, they all play fine. Now I have moved to different computers twice and the imported video files won't follow me. Only a couple are identified as m4v files and play, the rest are saying they are mov, they only play the sound, on my original computer everything plays. How do I get them corrected on my new Mac?
    Thank you

    Run Repair Disk.
    First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility>in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HDmechanism>look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. statusand see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk:Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c keyand keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screenselect the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in themenu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the leftside>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice,and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’thappen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior orif the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, oryou may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directorystructure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quitthe installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go toApplications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • Video files won't open on iPhotos after library upgrade

    I tried accessing my iPhoto library today on my iMac, and received this message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto".  I selected the "Upgrade" version accordingly.  At the same time, I also did an update on iphoto to version 9.5.1. 
    After these upgrades were completed, I attempted to access my albums in iphoto.  Everything looked fine, except that I can no longer view any videos!  When I try to view a video, this error message appears: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved" and the screen is just blank.  What do I do? This is really upsetting because I have videos of events and people important to me who have passed away 

    Hi Terence, thank you for your response.  The problem is that when I go back to Time Machine, I am unable to even restore to an earlier version.
    When I attempt to open my video files and receive the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved", I went to "File" - "Reveal in Finder" - "Original File", but then received the message "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_1929.MOV". 
    Is this a virus or bug that subsequent updates will fix, or are my videos lost forever?
    Thank you.

  • MPEG-4 video files won't play in Quicktime

    I bought movies on iTunes and I can only watch them on my iPod. I can't view the movies with Quicktime or with iTunes. The movies are MPEG-4 video files. Any suggestions? I can't figure it out.

    I solved my problem with MP4 and MOV files not playing on my Windows XP Pro PC.
    Short solution: Reinstall latest NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA not Microsoft.
    A few days ago, I decided to rebuild my PC from scratch, after deciding to change from Norton to McAfee for performance reasons. I reinstalled Windows XP Pro from the installation disks and performed Microsoft Update to bring it up to current. I then manually installed all optional software and hardware "updates". Installing the optional video driver turned out to be the cause of the problem, but I did not know it then. It was a very obsolete driver - NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003
    I downloaded and installed Quicktime with iTunes which installed QuickTime 7.4.1 and iTunes 7.6.0.29. Neither would play MP4 or even MOV files. I got garbled, scrambled, blocks of colored video. Audio would play OK.
    A re-install of QuickTime did not help and both products said they were up to date.
    A temporary quick-fix was to uncheck DirectX - Enable Direct3D Video accelleration in QuickTime-Edit-Preferences-QuickTime Preferences-Advanced, or select Safe Mode (GDI only).
    The permanent fix was to update the video drivers and NOT use the Microsoft supplied update. I went to www.nvidia.com, selected "support" on the taskbar, clicked "download drivers", entered product type=Legacy and GeForce3 Series and Windows XP and clicked Search. That found ForceWare Release 90 version 93.71 dated Nov 2, 2006. It supports a huge number of NVidia cards. I downloaded it and installed it and everything worked after that.
    To prevent Microsoft Update from re-installing the Optional Hardware video driver, run Microsoft Update manually (e.g. from IE-Tools-Windows Update) click "Custom", select Optional Hardware, Expand the NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003 and check "Don't show this update again". Then close Microsoft Update. (while you are at it, do the same for the optional audio update. That really messed up my system)
    I hope this helps at least a few people. Good luck.

  • Some video files won't transfer from old Macbook to Macbook Air

    Hi all,
    My old Macbook (circa 2008) recently stopped working, so I upgraded to a new Macbook Air. I had the harddrive of my old Macbook extracted and made into an external harddrive, and then used Migration Assistant to transfer my data to the Macbook Air. I then upgraded to OS X 10.9. However, I have found that several video files I had saved on my old Mabook do not appear on my Macbook Air. These are a mix of .mpeg and .avi files. I reconnected the external harddrive and located these files on it, and tried copying them to my Macbook Air one by one, but they won't transfer and I recieve the error message that the operation cannot be completed because the file is in use. I can play them in quicktime or VLC direct from the external harddrive, but can't save them to my Macbook Air. I tried restarting my computer, reconnecting the hard drive and so on, but to no avail. I tried transferring other videos that had come accross with Migration Assistant, and these copy to my Macbook Air without any trouble. But the files that didn't get transferred just won't. Is there anything I can do to get these files onto my new computer?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Open the library on the EHD with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    and look in the Masters folder to see if any of the original files have zero bytes? Do not make any other changes/alterations, i.e. look but don't touch.  If you do find zero byte image files  then it's not the copy process that is the culprit but the files are bad to start with.

  • Using the built in encode selected video files won't sync to iPad

    Hi, how is it that when I right click on a video file and choose 'encode selected video files' then select 1080p sometimes they will sync to my ipad and sometimes they won't. It seems odd that my ipad air can record and edit 1080p but mavericks encode option doesn't make compatible 1080p video files.
    The video files are recorded on a camcorder and I wanted to put them on my ipad to use ios's imovie.
    Any ideas would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Restrictions are Off on the iPad. I was able to get the video onto my iPad by dragging and dropping it from the Playlist into the iPad on iTunes. I never had to do it that way before, but it worked. Very odd.

  • Canon 5d mkIII video file won't import

    Curious problem.  I've imported about 20 video files that were shot with a Canon 5D MkIII into FCPX (CF camera card>portable drive>FCPX).  All of the files, save one, import with no problem.  One won't but it plays just fine from the finder.  I've run diagnostics on the portable drive and everything passes.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I have the 5D mk iii and have not experienced this problem. I drag the files from the CF card onto a dedicated partition on a drive (contains nothing else, only my .mov files for import into FCP X).
    I then launch FCP X and it recognises the drive as a camera and I use Camera Import (Cmd+i) to mark my in and out points and import.
    Works every time for me.
    Alternatively (on this occasion) try using an App like MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the clip to ProRes 422.

  • Video files won't open on burned cd-r

    when trying to burn Video files some or all won't open on burned cd-r. I get an error#6 message. What does that mean and why can't I copy and back-up my files to a CD? Please explain whats up with this problem.

    Gerry, Welcome to the discussions,
    Much depends on what kind of video files are you talking about. Where are they from.
    If these are Video TS files they will be DVD, not CD.
    If this a Commercial DVD Movie again, it will not copy on CD.
    Tell us exactly what video it is you are talking about and what is the source..
    Cheers...Don

  • Existing video files won't import into Lightroom 4.1

    I have several hundred videos I have taken, either with a Canon SD800, Canon S95, Canon T2i or a GoPro.
    New videos I take on this equipment works just fine when adding to Lightroom. But when I try to import older files, I get error: video file not imported with the quantity in parenthesis.
    I have tried purging the video cache, I have tried task manager - disabling dynamiclinkmanager and dynamiclinkmediaserver. Occasionally I will be able to import one or two videos after doing this but then it hangs up again.
    Running Win7, LR4.1.
    I don't have anything else up and running when I do this.
    Any ideas? This is really frustrating me as I want my catalog to be complete.

    I am having almost exactly the same problem with Lightroom 4 and now, with Lightroom 5.
    I was able to import  RAW formats from the folders already on my external RAID harddrive. However, I was unable to import video from the same folders.  I can sometimes get a few video files to import, but then the import process runs for a very long time,and I get an popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".
    It is impossible to "syncronize folder" because the same thing happens and the import process ends with the popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".  Sometimes I am also unable to upload photos because the import process crashes because of video files.
    An online search reveals that a number of peopel have similar problems but that no clear solution exists.This simply should not be happening in program like Lightroom that has a huge crew of developers to support it.
    My system:
    Lenovo W520
    2.20 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2720QM
    16 gigs RAM
    64 kilobyte primary memory cache
    256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
    6144 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
    64-bit ready
    Multi-core (4 total)
    Hyper-threaded (8 total)
    Intel(R) HD Graphics Family [Display adapter]
    NVIDIA Quadro 1000M [Display adapter]
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem are greatly appreciated!

  • MPEG-3 video files won't play in iPod

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with a few of my iPod video files. They play fine in iTunes when my iPod is connected, but only the audio plays on the iPod itself. They all used to have the TV icon next to their titles, but now they don't anymore. I would reload the files, except that I mistakenly deleted them from my iTunes library. Any advice?
    Fifth Generation iPod w/ Video   Windows XP Pro  

    You know, I misspoke when I typed MPEG-3. They're MP4 video files. I actually purchased a couple of them off of the iTunes music store. They only show up under the Music category of my iPod. Any other suggestions?

  • Index file won't update on server

    I have changed & uploaded mjy index.html file
    many, many times with no problem. Now I have another update
    & when I upload it with either Dreamweaver or
    GoDaddy's FTP it does not update the file...even though I get no
    error message.
    I even created a new index file using the exact same script
    as what is currently loaded...only changing a couple words...but it
    still will not update. It says the file on the server is dated 2/6
    (today), but it is not the file I just uploaded.
    Edit: The site is at www.webrevamps.com
    I will attach the new code that won't stick on the server. To
    make it simple, all I changtyed from the code that shows on the web
    is I changed the title to "WebRevamps.com & added
    "Hello Me" next to "Hello
    World"
    Any suggestions?
