Video Podcasts showing as songs HELP!!!????

My video podcasts are showing as songs with a capture of from the actual video.
How do I fix this???

Best way to discribed the problem is like when video setting is on [TV on]. I made sure it was on [TV off] So my video podcasts appear like when a song is playing. But they play well on iTune but not on iPod.
Thx for reply

  • Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

    I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
    I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
    From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
    I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
    The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
    How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
    Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
    Please help.

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. 

  • Problems with video podcast iPhone downloads..HELP!!!!

    When I download a non video podcast all is well, however it does not sync to my iPhone. After it is downloaded with iTunes it shows up as downloaded.. the get is nolonger visible.
    When I try to download a video podcast, I select get it downloads and I see a progress bar. It finishes but in the list of available podcast downloads for this subscription the one I just still appears with a get next to it. ot sure it is actually downloading.
    What am I doing wrong???

    You go to Video Settings and on the first option, you will have the choice of having it either, 'On, Off, or Ask' Put it on Off, and try to play it again.

  • Video Podcasts show up as Music

    Here is my problem:
    I downloaded a couple video podcasts from iTMS and copied them to my ipod. They play fine in iTunes, but on my ipod they dont show up anywhere in the video section, only in the music section. When I 'get info' within iTunes they both show as 'Movie' in the Movie Kind field. I am using iTunes version 6.0.2.23 (Windows), Cd Driver 2.0.43, Cd Driver DLL 2.0.3.2, Ipod Video 30G, Version 1.0.
    Now for some additional info...
    When I am transfering the video to the ipod, I am doing this manually because I use both my home and work machines with my ipod.
    Here are some things I have tried:
    I first attempted to download the video podcasts using iTMS on my work machine with the result being that the videos showing up under my music and not showing up under video anywhere.
    I downloaded a video (not using iTMS) on my work machine and then imported it into the library and then manually copied it to my ipod and it worked just fine.
    I attempted to 'Convert The Selection For Ipod' within iTunes (again work machine) for the iTMS downloaded video podcasts and it tells me that the files were not converted because they are already in the correct format. I am wondering if the problem is somehow related to the fact that these files have been downloaded through the podcast subscription? I cant see any reason why, but just throwing some things out there.
    I attempted to download the video podcasts using iTMS on my home machine with the same results. As a last effort at this time, I tried the transfer again, and left it to transfer overnight.
    Using a different computer (not work or home) I rebuilt Windows XP Pro from scratch. The only thing installed was service pack 2, then installed the same version of iTunes (6.0.2.23) and had a slightly different experience. One of the podcasts in questions did the exact same thing, that is showing up under music and no video playing. The other podcast however ended up showing up and played fine. Now my problem is I dont know if the new machine transferred it correctly or if it was transferred correctly from my home machine the night before (I overlooked checking it before attempting the transfer on the new machine.) I have since then attempted to transfer the problem file on the new machine and it failed again.
    Now, has anyone managed to experience and resolve this issue? I know that I should update the ipod to 1.1 and try again, but since I have read about all of the problems with video on the new version I am a little hesitant to do that. Anyone have any suggestions on what ot try next, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade the ipod?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob
    Ipod Video 30G Version 1.0   Windows XP Pro  

    OK, tried some new things, here is the latest update:
    I went ahead and bit the bullet, upgraded to 1.1. Deleted the video files from the music section of the ipod and then attempted to manually transfer the files. Still, the same symptoms occured.
    Next step, performed a restore on the ipod (using the latest updater (thus retaining version 1.1), then set the ipod to sync with itunes on the work machine. Videos uploaded fine, show up in the Videos section and even play as videos on the ipod! Now we are getting somewhere.
    Once I arrived home, I plugged the ipod into my home machine, told it yes, that I wanted to delete the content and attach the ipod to itunes on my home machine. Once all my music downloaded to the ipod, I subscribed to the video podcasts, they downloaded, then I synced the ipod, and they show up in the video section and play as videos. Everything seems to work fine!
    My next step will be to disable auto sync and manually add some video podcasts to the ipod and see if it will function then. I will update the thread once that is complete.

  • Video podcast shows up as music podcast

    when i downloaded the video podcast off itunes music store,on the itune it shows up as video but in my ipod it wont show up as a video but shows up as musics as in i cant see anything but i can still hear sounds.Does anyone knwo how i can get the podcast to show up as video? and where i can find it?

    Is it showing up under Videos-->video podcasts?
    If you access it through the music section of the iPod (music-->podcasts), it will not play the video.
    If you are accessing it through videos-->video podcasts and it still only plays audio, try this.
    Go to videos-->video settings-->TV Out-->off

  • Garageband video podcast shows up with a QT logo ? in Safari, and nothing in Firefox.  Tried with .mov and m4v.  Looked at a lot of discussions and no answers.

    Went from iMovie 11, then to Garage band, made the podcast, then went to iweb.  Uploaded and nothing in firefox, and in Safari I get the good old quicktime logo with a ?.  Tried the put the movie in a textbox trick.  No dice.  I don't understand code.  I just use the darn thing and can usually figure things out by looking at discussions but I'm coming up flat on this one.  Have used iweb for three or four years.  This "should" work but can't get it to work, have tried switching out the podcast with different formats and nothing.  Any ideas are appreciated.  10.6.8

    The first thing you should do is clean up the movie file name by taking out the space and the apostrophe. Never use spaces or special characters in any file name that is going to be uploaded to the server.
    Change this...
    Chiro%20Works%21.m4v
    ... by taking out the ! and replacing the space with a hyphen to this...
    Chiro-Works.m4v

  • So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

    Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
    P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

  • Video podcasts not showing video?

    Okay, I'm a little confused here.
    I downloaded some podcasts (okay I downloaded hundreds), including some video ones.
    Now when I go under iTunes there's the little tv logo by them, and when I click the video does play just like any other video.
    But when I go to watch the podcast on my iPod (brand new 30 GB with video), it plays just the audio. It looks like watching a normal audio pocast, with a little still image where album artwork normally shows up.
    It's not like my iPod has trouble with videos -- the television shows and music videos I downloaded from iTunes store all work perfectly fine. It's just my podcasts.
    The particular video podcasts I downloaded are the Disney Channel DCOM extras, Star Wars on Cinemax, and Formula D.
    Please help, I really want to watch these videos but my computer is too sluggish with iTunes to watch them on there!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Categorizing Movies, TV Shows & Video Podcasts

    Dear Mac Friends,
    I was wondering if some one could offer some advise or perhaps offer 3rd Party Software to help organize my iTunes Library more efficiently.
    My issues is getting iTunes to recognize the different kinds of Video files that I upload to the Main Library. All Video files by default, are categorized and placed in the "Movies" Library regardless of whether they are TV Shows or Video Podcasts. I download lots of TV shows from my TiVo and would like to place them in the "TV Shows" Library. I know there is not way for iTunes to tell the difference but I should at the very least be able to manually categorize them by what they are. I've tried changing the "Genre" and "Category" to say TV Show it still puts it in the Movies Library.
    This becomes problematic and very confusing when trying to Sync them to my iPhone or Video iPod. I don't know if I should chose the Playlist of TV Shows that I created from the "Music" Preference-Pane or if I need to manually select each TV Show Episode from the "Movies" Preference-Pane
    Any Advice or Suggestion would be very appreciated.
    -ROD

    FOLLOW-UP ISSUE:
    I have made a number of Smart Playlists for my TV Shows and Video Podcasts. However when I select my Video Podcast Playlists to be sync'd in the iphone/ipod syncing preferences (under the MUSIC tab), they do not sync. Sadly I have to select Podcast independently under the PODCAST tab. This become very difficult when I have 100+ podcasts. I'd much rather be able to select a playlist.
    It is interesting that under the VIDEO tab they do allow for TV Show Playlist syncing. I'm guessing this is a common gripe and that it is simply not a feature that has be implemented yet. However, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion or work-around.

  • Help! Ipod 1.3 won't play video podcasts on Ipod Video

    Help! I just upgraded to Ipod version 1.3 on my Ipod 5th generation video Ipod. The upgrade downloaded and loaded fine and the Ipod rebooted and connected to Itunes. Itunes updated some new video podcasts and I got an error message the the videos from "The New Yorker Animated Cartoons." Neither the 3/13/08 or 3/14/08 podcasts would work and gave ther error that the video would not play on my Ipod. I next tried reloading the 3/7/08 video which used to work on my Ipod and it failed as well. I'm afraid that many other podcasts may fail as they get downloaded.
    It seems likely that this is a problem with the 1.3 firmware. Can I get some help to get things working?
    Thanks

    I don't know if this link, from Apple, will solve your problems but at least for now, I am able to see the video in podcasts. The second to the last sentence was what helped me. Good luck. Fujishu
    FROM THE APPLE LINK: problem--iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows

    If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
    To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
    Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
    Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
    If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

    I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.  For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large.  Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small. 
    Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

    I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

  • Can't get video podcast to show up on my iPod

    I've downloaded tv programs, even compressed some of my own video work and put it on my iPod....but for some reason, the 3 video podcasts I downloaded don't show up after my iPod updates. I searched in the music section as well as the video section under "podcasts," but nothing is there. Any suggestions? Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?

    Any suggestions?
    Would suggest you check the format of the podcast. I downloaded one last week and found Sorenson video and QDesign audio tracks. If it is in what appears to be the correct format and parameter settings, then try converting it yourself and see it it syncs.
    If the converted file syncs, then I would conclude that the author's workflow may not have included adequate "field testing." (Likely relying on past successes with a particular application and/or settings.) This happened to me this week when I downloaded an Apple product/technique tutorial. (Strangely enough, the only one in the series I had tourble with delt with podcasting.) If the files still refuses to sync, then I would suggest you recheck your iTunes preference settings
    Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?
    "Drag 'n Drop" is, i believe, a manual management function. However, I doubt it would bypass the iTunes files scan to check on whether or not the file is iPod compatible. (I assume you aren't talking about simple data storage here.) On the other hand, at least one individual has claimed to have "hacked" his way into the loading of video data rate restricted files. Unfortunately, I am not interested in wasting space in order to put "DVD quality" files on an iPod. (If I want DVD quality, I'll watch the DVD.)
