Videos on MyIpod are now music!

HI all!
Here I am to tell you about a very strange behaviour in my Ipod.
Suddenly, all previously stored videos has been converted in only music.
Let me be more detailed:
In Itunes, the ipod videos can be played so they are present in the ipod, but if you ask the info, the tag -movie- is not highlighted! The ipod doesn't consider them like movies!
How can I do?
Actually my only solutions is to format everything and re-start again, am I right?
Thanks in advance
Regards

My iPod has done exactly the same thing. What were videos a couple of weeks ago are now only music. Yes, they are defined as music videos, and I open them from "Videos"--music videos on the iPod. They play just fine on the computer, but the iPod thinks they are music only.
What is the solution? Better yet, what is the cause?
Thanks,
Chris

  • Videos in iPhoto are now all 0:00. Why?

    Hi,
    I have opened up my iPhoto and all the vidoes that have been imported from my Canon IXUS that were working previously have now been reduced to 0:00. Does anyone have a reason for this and can they help me get them back? It opens in quicktime but the tab along the bottom goes from the start to end in a split second with only the opening frame showing. Help?

    Are you able to play the movies when you double click on them in iPhoto? If so and you need to get at them for use outside of iPhoto follow Terence's suggestion or do a File->Export>File Export using the Original format option. That will copy the original .mov file to the desktop.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

    Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.  It gets weirder:
    When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top,  if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
    I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
    "If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
    I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • HT203167 i bought anastacia's "cowboy's & kisses" video from iTunes and now has disappeared off my music library! where did it go?-i paid good money for it!

    i bought anastacia's "cowboy's & kisses" video from itunes and now it is gone, erased from my music library! it's not on the imac, or my ipad! where is it? i paid good money for it! these are tough times i want it back! i'm not going to pay for it again!

    You shouldn't have to pay again.   Log into iTunes with the same detail you used to purchase the original music and you should be able to download it again.
    If you meet a further problem go to ... http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.

  • If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now?

    If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now? I forgot to ask.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can anyone tell me how to post videos taken on the iPhone that are now stored on the Air on Facebook?

    Can anyone tell me how to post videos taken on the iPhone that are now stored on the Air on Facebook?

    Hi
    Yeah got onto that but it won't load up anything readable. It just produces a little annimation of 35mm film strip and when you click on it - nothing. All you end up doing is clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the annimation and deleting it. Really frustrating because uploading from the iPhone is simple, but I've deleted it off that and can't get it back from the Mac to the iPone either. Seem to be trapped no matter what i do.
    Thanks for your help though

    I back up my iphone4 and now some of my recent videos and phone are missing how can I retrieve it?

    Unless you manually set your backup settings to exclude your camera roll, camera roll photos and videos are included in your iCloud backup.  If the missing videos were on you phone when it was last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.

    Try emptying your browser cache more often. If you are using Safari, from the menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video on FB. If can't stream Flash content, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    If that doesn't help, try deleing Flash cookies >  Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV

  • Video playlists in the new music app on the iPad 2 are empty

    Video playlists in the new music app are empty, they use to play on the iPod app before the os5 upgrade.  The videos playlistists show up in iTunes under the iPad app when connected to my pc, but not when disconnected. Is there a way to fix this? Very frustrating.

    You'll probably find your Video Podcast in the Videos App.

  • HT201302 What if after importing my videos, they are now sideways when I view them on my computer? Anyway to fix that?

    What if after importing my videos, they are now sideways when I view them on my computer? Anyway to fix that?

    What video player are you using? The video will likely playback normally in QuickTime.
    You might be able to rotate video using other players, like Windows Media Player OR VLC, playback controls .
    There is a big thread discussing this here, it has lots of good info -> iPhone 4 HD video recordings play upside when imported to my computer

  • TS1424 6 of my music videos i purchased are not working, they freeze up

    music videos i purchased are not working correctly

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • 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.
