Videos Do Not Play on PC After iOS6 Update

I am having a very big problem. I have an iPhone 4S that is less than one year old. Prior to updating my iOS firmware, I was able to record and transfer video to my PC and view it with a variety of programs without any modifications. Since updating the firmware, all videos that have been taken are not viewable on my PC. I can hear the audio associated with the video, but the video is blank. I can transfer the file off my phone using the Windows transfer tool. Then sync the video back to my phone and it play just fine on my phone. I tried emailing the video to myself to see if its losing something in the transfer, that did not work. I rebooted my computer just to say I did it, no luck. I reinstalled QuickTime to make sure I had the most recent version, still isn't working. I can still watch the videos that were made with iOS 5.1.1 and they play just fine, but nothing made with iOS 6 is viewable.
I have been successful with the following procedure: Once the video is transfered from the phone to my PC, I change the extension from .MOV to .MPG and this makes the video viewable with Windows Media Player; however, if the video is shot in a portrait orientation, it displays sideways in WMP as a landscape orientation and the audio track is no longer there. I have been able to then run the video through Microsoft's MovieMaker program to right the video 90 degrees but the image comes out a little squatty like it's out of scale. In either case, it serves the purpose and I can export it to another .MPG format that I can then run through Sony Vegas and edit as I see fit. While it works, this is a huge hassle and I shouldn't have to do it.
Does anyone know of anything that is working? Are there new codecs somewhere that windows users need to get a hold of? Is this an Apple bug? Anyone else have any other solutions? Ideas? Similar experiences?

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music! Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes. The music will then play but the artwork is missing. This is a rather irritating problem. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, any are any other solutions? Thanks!

I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5. In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play. I'm going to try and resync when I get home. I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes??? Nothing is ever easy is it??

TS1538 My iphone will not connect to PC after iOS6 update.

I just updated my phone to iOS6 and now can't connect to my PC. I went over the guide that is listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and found that my device is not showing up in the device manager anymore. I have three computers and my phone is not recognized on all three. My wife's iPhone connects to all three fine. She has a 3GS. I tried uninstalling all apple programs and reinstalling, restoring my phone to factory defaults, and three different USB cables. When I plug the USB into my computer, it starts charging, but never brings up the camera folder nor installs the driver. It shows up nowhere in the device manager. Any suggestions?

I do not have a passcode on the phone. I also tried sliding my finger across the screen to get into the phone past the screen lock and still nothing. I've connected my phone to my computer a million times with no problem. It just started happening after the new update. At least iOS6 is pretty cool! I just want to load music back onto it because I had to take a ton off to make room for the update. It was also nice to be able to pull pictures off. Now I seem to be screwed.

FaceTime app on ipad2 not accepting apple password after iOS6 update

I was trying to contact my family and facetime would hang in the "connecting" mode. So, I signed out and now I can't sign back in!
i tried signing in with an alternate UID but that didn't work either...

Mine is working now! Just like last time, I'm not sure what happened, but after trying activation every few hours for the last 24 hrs, finally today it just worked. Sort of the same thing that happend with iOS5, only this time instead of waiting two months, I only waited one day. Maybe the underlying problem was different this time, and there was just a backlog of activations or something.
This probably doesn't help you guys much, but hopefully yours will start working too!

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Youtube videos will not play on Ipod touch 5 after ios update

YouTube videos will not play on my IPod touch 5 after I updated the operating software. Any suggestions on how to fix? I uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app.

What exactly happens when you try?

I noticed after switching from IE9 to Firefox that some website videos will not play. How is this corrected?

I sometimes want to look at how-to videos. Some play and some do not in Firefox. When a message does come up on the screen it says someting like 'sorry, but the video will not play...do you wish to download the plugin?'. Because I am very catious about what I download, I am not confident about downloading a plugin. Does anyone know what I need for Firefox to play all website videos?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am adding this to my original question:
I see that quick-time is an available plugin...Is this soething that will work?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

Does anybody has problem with playing youtube in Opera Mini after iOS6 update?

After iOS6 update I can not play youtube from Opera Mini,- neither link to youtube works and embedded video as well. It works ok with Safari, but I prefer using Opera Mini instead. If there is a embedded youtube video or just a link to m.youtube, Opera mini does nothing:(

Cool, in OperaMini forum, there is an answer, that issue has been noticed and will be solved someday!

Hi,
Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.

Some videos will not play (blank screen).

Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
Thanks in advance.
iTunes Ver 10.5.1.42

Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library? Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

Youtube videos are not playing back

Youtube videos are not playing back in Safari 5.1.7. I've also checked this in Firefox 16.0.2.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
Why is this happening? I need this capabilitiy for my work efforts.
Thanks (in advance)!

I'm having similar problems to you all. Chrome and Firefox will play YT videos back perfectly. But for some reason certain users' entire channels that were working fine in Safari on Thhursday 1st Nov 2012 had stopped working by the next day! After upgrading Flash and resetting the cache etc it was a bit better but still some not working. I then downloaded the 6.0.2 update (again after a bit of aggro as some error message kept popping up, then after a while it worked ok). Now still some videos refuse to play in Safari. Latest FF browser seems OK and not too slow. I have always liked Safari though and am a bit annoyed that I've had to to make FF my default as it's a bit ugly. It may be a YT problem rather than Apple. Once upon a time in the hazy crazy days of Tiger and Leopard I had no Apple problems. Now lots of very minor but basic issues keep popping up!

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.
