If you are referring to a "thumbnail" with title to the right, either reset the "TV out" software switch to "Off" or ensure you are playing your podcasts under the Video menu and not the Music menu.

  • Video podcasts only playing in audio on ipod touch

    Hey my ipod touch only plays the audio of the downloaded video podcasts, can someone help me please ?

    If you play through music > more> podcast you will only hear audio! On the home screen there is a video app right next to the music app. So click on the video app and scrll down and you should be able to watch video podcast from there!

  • Video podcast only playing audio on iPod

    Hi,
    In the past (iTunes 11.4) I was able to download a video podcast from a website and link it to iTunes by adding it to the library. It would automatically show up in home videos so I would right-click the file, get info, and then change the media kind to podcast. It would then join the rest of the episodes in podcasts. Then when I synced my iPod it would copy the file to the podcasts app and I could watch the video.
    Now using iTunes 12.0.1.26 when I repeat those steps the podcast joins the rest of the episodes in the podcasts section in iTunes and plays as a video in iTunes, but when viewing the podcasts in episode list view the video icon is missing (although strangely it appears in the standard podcast view). And when I sync the podcast to my iPod and I play it through the podcasts app it plays as an audio only podcast. When I check the file system at /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/Fxx the video file is there and can be played as a video using the default video app, so there must be something iTunes is doing to tell the iPod to play it as audio only.
    I have noticed in iTunes that when I get info of the previously added podcast episodes that it shows video properties whereas the newly added episodes do not and if I select new and old episodes at the same time and try to Get Info a message pops up saying "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." Whereas if I only select the new episodes or only select the old episodes, it doesn't pop up.
    Also in Get Info, under options, the new episode show an option for equalizer (although it is greyed out and cannot be change), whereas the older episodes do not. And under Sorting, the new episodes have an option to sort podcast whereas the old episodes do not.
    *(Old episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 11.4, new episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 12.0.1.26)
    Thank you.

    Hello, I just had success getting things to work once with podcasts then tried it with iTunesU after I could not repeat it with podcasts. I had the same problem, What I ended doing with iTunesU I'm sure you can apply to podcasts it appears to be an iTunes 12 issue not an iOS issues but affects iOS devices 6,7,8. I just got lucky with solution. I am quite vague on what I did, so in coming days ( had enough today) I'm going to attempt it again and write an exact procedure. but while its fresh in my mind this is what I think I did with iTunesU to get same functionality as podcasts. Firstly talk about what we use to do, as you would do in the past I i used get info then changed it to podcast, as we know that won't work and files play as audio only. So I got my (the ones that wouldn't work on iPad but did on the mac) podcasts in iTunes and selected all (contents of podcast) then get info, i then changed them on mass to home video again( it protests but you continue). I then went to normal library ( can't recall what its called these days) created an empty playlist folder, then from my standard library i dragged all videos into it. I then selected all get info changed to iTunes U (i tried podcast i did succeed once but could not repeat) also changed institution and and instructor ( i think they must be in to work????)( I would say as it relates to podcasts you follow a similar procedure, my gut tells me its not working due to missing fields, we must work out which need filling in)
    From there plugged in iPad clicked devices tab, strangely then left the actual collection in question unchecked, however below that box is another that says include items from playlist, i checked mine that i created earlier , playlist will only appear there if you went through the painful approach at start ( i.e. in get info you made the whole playlist is of type ' iTunes U' , I assume will be a similar case with podcasts). I then synced. didn't think it worked, then closed app on device and opened it and perfect there it was and it played video and then played next after etc
    I am sure i have unnecessary steps but it was guess work. once I've refined it ill post technique. I'm certain it all hinges on making other fields right other than podcasts and them all being changed to the same at the same time. was weird that include from playlist worked rather than collections. that is probably key too.
    Hope this is helpful, just a disclaimer i included to much info because the answer is in there.

  • I have a new 160GB iPod Classic. I often listen to it for many hours at a time. Even with Itunes and the Classic set on shuffle it repeats songs often and only plays a small fraction of my songs. Help!            of my

    When listening for hours to my new Clasic 160 with several thousand songs and both itunes and the Classic set to shuffle all songs it only plays a small fraction of my library and plays many songs several times over that period. It also seems to pick a small different group of songs to repeat without touching many of most of my songs each time I start listening. Over 98% of the music is legally owned in my CD collection. A few are down loads which play! There should be no issues with ownership. Please help. As much as I like all my tunes I want to actually hear them all. There are many many albums that have never been played.

    Okay, well we've eliminated a couple of things.
    One thing I have noticed about the iPod Classic: I suspect that "shuffle" is actually a Playlist, not a real shuffle. The Classic is not as powerful as iTunes or a desktop/computer, so it cannot truely "shuffle songs". I suspect what happens is that every Sync of the Classic with its iTunes Library causes a revised "shuffle playlist" to be put on the iPod and then, when you choose Shuffle play, it actually uses that special hidden "shuffle playlist".
    So one trick is to Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently. This would change the "shuffle playlist". Another trick would be to create your own Playlists, either by adding what you want to a Regular Playlist or by creating a Smart Playlist which adds and removes songs by itself.
    Smart Playlists: for example, you can create a Smart Playlist (in iTunes) which contains a random selection of all songs, or a random selection of a particular group of songs, provided the song has not been played for a period of time, say six months, or 300 days. Every Sync of the iPod with iTunes would remove any song from that Smart Playlist if it has been played. That same song cannot go back into the Playlist for a period of six months, or whatever you choose.
    This way, you can reduce the likelyhood of hearing the same songs too often. This brings me to another point. If you have the same song, on different albums, then it's possible that you are hearing that same song but from both albums.
    Try this: in your iTunes Library,
    look for and click on the big + button and choose New Smart Playlist..., if you do not have the Sidebar displayed, switch to the Playlists view where you will find it in the bottom left corner,
    Set it up to look like this:
    It creates a list of songs that have not been played for fifteen weeks. It excludes videos and in my iTunes Library, it has 527 songs in it. If you would like a smaller list than that, click on the Limit to and fill in the number of songs you want.
    Having set it up, play some songs from it (in shuffle mode if you wish) and watch how it changes . The song must play through to the end of the track before it is classed as "played". If you like it, let it go onto your iPod. You could set up a few Playlists, each with their own rules. Even if a song appears in two different Smart Playlists, if you have the "last played is not in the last" rule in both lists, then playing the song will eliminate it from both lists. None of this removes songs from the iPod (unless you use Sync selected Playlists...).

  • Video Podcasts not playing on remote speakers

    I'm unable to get the audio from my video podcasts to play on my remote speakers. Instead they play only through my laptop speakers even when the airtunes speakers are selected. Audio podcasts and music mp3's work fine.
    tested on iBook G3 & Powerbook G4 with iTunes 7.6 on 10.4.11
    mac/airport card > airport express > speaker system.

    That would be a feature, not a bug. The audio track from videos isn't supported through airport express. As I understand it, this is because there is a slight lag and you'd end up with unsychronized audio. However, I think the latest version of Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil may be able to do what you want. I haven't tried it so I don't know how good the results are.

  • HT1725 I downloaded a full cd album from iTunes it said it had been downloaded but when I listened to them it only played a small part of each song then it stopped. What do i do? I don't want to have to download them again. Thanks

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Can i capture and record a youtube video that is playing on my screen using quicktime?

    Hi Paul, QuickTime X can record video and here is the tutorial for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882?viewlocale=en_US. I'm wondering why you don't just download it using some free YouTube downloader, easy and fast.

  • IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

    I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
    I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
    I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?

  • Can't sync movies and video podcasts wont play

    I just got a 6th gen nano today and the movies will not show up on the nano. Also when I play any video podcast the video keeps freezing but the sound keeps going. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how do I fix it?

    It also lacks Games and Photos.
    I have an iPod Touch now, but i also enjoy my iPod Nano 4G. The difference between them is the weight and the way commands are given: analog but wasy to use (even with eyes closed or one hand and on the moove), versatile options and small versus touch commands, huge screen, but big, in need of great care while handling and of both hands to command.
    This is not a decision to differenciate the iPod Nano 6G from iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPhone, but it's actually not a Nano. It's iPod Shuffle with touch commands - nothing more, but a lot worse than any iPod Shuffle or previous iPod Nano.

  • Videos no longer play in Full Screen-why?

    My music videos and movies no longer play in full screen. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'll tell you what I did right! They've been playing correctly, and today I went to play a new music video i downloaded from iTunes and I noticed it was a small thumbnail. I checked the others and they all played back the same. I went to my iPod settings to ensure that I had it set up to play in full screen. Can someone help and tell me what (if anything) I've done wrong? Thanks so much. Lori

  • I can't get certain video podcasts to play properly in iTunes 11.2.1 for windows

    I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows on two different Windows PC's the one is a new Tablet purchased this month. I installed iTunes onto it and authorized it.  I subscribe to lots of podcast subscriptions some of which of video and some of which of audio.  I have been having trouble with the CNET video Podcasts such as First Look, CarTech, and HowTo.  When I try to play the podcasts the video becomes jerky and will not be synced with the audio.  The video sometimes flickers and then the video portion will sometimes flicker and then black out completely.  The pdocast will either finish playing in this state or I get a message saying "iTunes is out of memory or Windows tells me that the entire program has stopped working.  I thought these errors were due to the underpowered processor and only having 2GB of RAM so I went back to my "Daily Driver" which is a Dell XPS 15" with 12GB of RAM and an Intel Core I7 processor.  On the Dell computer this previous was not happening but now this one is starting to do it as well.  Audio only poducasts play just fine as well as video podcasts from TWIT.TV such as Windows Weekly, Security Now, and iFIVE for the IPhone. I have updated to the latest windows drivers for the video and chipsets on each machine but to no avail.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Well, I guess those videos are not supported by the current version of iTunes.
    I originally had iTunes set to "Open in 32-bit mode" so I could watch these videos. But apparently, since I upgraded iTunes (and OS X), that setting no longer enables those videos to play. When that selection was enabled (Open in 32-bit mode), I experienced the behavior above. Once I de-selected that setting, and re-opened iTunes to try the video again, I recieved a message that stated "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    So, I guess I am out of luck?
    This is hard to believe.
    here is the issue, described again, in a question that has gone unanswered since October:
    Unable to play developer video in iTunes

  • Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

    When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!
    - robjohn

    This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
    In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
    On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
    Maybe version 1.1?

  • Video podcasts dont play in itunes 7.0.2

    i have recently upgraded my itunes to version 7.0.2. and since then none of the video podcasts i subscribe to can be played.
    itunes downloads the podcast but does not store or play it and a little grey exclamation mark tells me that an error occured while adding the episode to itunes (i am translating the error message, so the phrasing might not be spot on) and that the file may be damaged or that itunes cannot play this type of file.
    but that also happens with episodes i had watched on the very same computer in the old itunes.
    it really drives me mad, since podcasts are pretty much the only thing i have time to watch at the moment.
    any solutions?

    im having the same problem... all you can see is orange, blue, etc. outlines rite? cause thats what i have...
    only time will tell though, unfortunatly
