Videos don't play the sound/music on my iPod.

Hi,
I converted my videos, and everything, and when I try to play it on my iPod the video will play, but no music/sound to it.

How was the video converted? Many videos have two seperate tracks - one for the visual and one for the sound. If you use something like Quicktime Pro (or even itunes sometimes) it will only convert the video track, the sound stays at a codec that itunes doesn't support. You may want to try converting with a program like Handshake or isquint.
There are a lot of posts regarding this problem, might want to try and search those first.

HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

My IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:

My iPod doesn't display certain videos, it only plays the sound.

The files are in .mp4 format. I have them in my iTunes as well. I tried to play them in there and I have the same problem. However, in iTunes the files have a thumbnail picture. I have managed to play all of the files in Media Player. They work fine with that.
How do I get the picture back?

If these files do not play properly in iTunes, then that indicates a problem with the actual file. Did you use any sort of video conversion software to create these MP4's? If so, what program was it? Perhaps you should re-encode them to MP4 again using another great program such as Handbrake.

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

Firefox is suddenly only playing the sound and a distorted mess of color where the video should be

I usually have no problems with watching flash video on my computer but out of the blue it now only plays the sound without error and displays a mess of indistinguishable colors where the picture should be

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound. How can I fix this?

Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound. The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays. How can I fix this?

Is this using a specific app or apps? Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but why not the picture?

Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but not the picture? I need codecs but xvid doesn't support Macs.
Maybe I should figure out if and how to use torrents and forget about using QuickTime.

Try VLC, can play almost any format known to man...

Or you can install the Perian extension to Quicktime to allow for Xvid playback.....

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

I can t get my home cinema play the sound of my iTunes (via the apple TV)

i can t get my Amplifier (home cinema) play the sound and i am unable to know wether this is due to 1. the plug 2. the menu or 3...me ?!! can anyone help to get the sound working please !many thanks.
Greg

spot on !
The Apple TV is connected to the TV via HDMI and to the amplifier via the optical cable.
The VoD works just fine, the transmission of content (sound/images) to the TV as well.
The only function I can't get working properly is playing the sound on the amplifier...
The optical cable is plugged into the following port : VCR digital in and when I select the very same menu among the different sources, i ve got no sound going out of the speakers...
I don'g get it ;o)
thx

When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

Videos don't play inside blogs?

How come my videos don't play. I thought you could just drag and drop a video inside a blog and it would turn it into a podcast or at least could be watchable. It just goes to a no page apple thing.
As you can see, I am just figuring it out..

thanks for the help

ellie?
To start with you should only have to specify your short iWeb URL in order to reach your pages. The problem with using the longer page URLs is that you are likely to change these (and with them, the URL), whereas the short iWeb URL will always lead to your default start page.
http://web.mac.com/latelyoften
Try that. Goes to your pages just fine.
As far as your video goes, there are some pages in your blog that aren't even there anymore for whatever reason. It also seems that on some pages, your movie files are no longer present. Have you been picking through the sitefolder possibly?
For starters, I would strive to keep a single format for your movies. You want them to be able to be played while they are downloading, so I recommend enabling what is called "fast start" in your movies. Don't know what this is? No problem. I'm about to give you a one click kind of fix for your video files.
Try downloading this program called iSquint. You can get it at http://www.isquint.org . It's a free program, so there's no reason not to give it a shot. Basically, all you have to do is to open this program, then drop all of your movie files into the list window, then select a quality setting using the slider, and hit go. Your movies will then be automagically converted to a very uniform .mp4 format complete with fast-start enabled. All that's left to do is to drag your newly formatted movies into iWeb and put them on your podcast pages.
After you are done placing your movies where you want them, I would highly recommend doing a "Publish ALL to .Mac" command under the File menu. There are currently a lot of strange things going on with your site with missing pages and what not. This "Publish All to .Mac" command will clean everything out and lay everything back down file by file...and with your new movie files. I think you will find a real improvement!
Let me know!

Videos don't play or only play audio in pptx 2010 but they do play in ppts2013

We have a PowerPoint presentation created in 2013. It has a number of YouTube videos embedded in it. When we view the presentation in PowerPoint 2010, the videos don't play at all and there is just a black screen OR only the audio plays
with a black screen OR the video ends mid stream and the audio continues.
How can I get all of the videos to play properly?

How can I get all of the videos to play properly?
We need to detail the quesion as below:
For the local video, (wmv, avi, flv) which is saved in PPT/PPTX data file, we just make sure that the host machine installed the proper video codec package and the video in PPT would play well.
For the online video/streaming video, it doesn't only depend on the host machine, but also network environment or video source(in this case, we say the video in YouTube).
Hope these help.
