Videos sent as email attachment not playing on iPhone. Even videos taken by iPhone. If rcvd via SMS I have no problem viewing. HELP

I am having issues viewing videos on Iphone that have been sent to me as email attachments, it's just a black screen. If I get them via SMS I can see them.

Tbo6652,
The video has to be in the proper format for the iPhone to play it correctly. As taken from the [iPhone Tech Specs|http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html] page:
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
Hope this helps,

  • Video sent by email does not play on desktop

    Hello. My service provider is Verizon. And clearly after a long call, they do not know the answer.
    They walked me through a lengthy reprogram of my Storm 9530, which accomplished nothing.
    When I send via email these .3GP videos made by the Storm, the video is not able to play on the desktop pc, after double-clicking.  Manually selecting on Windows Media Player does not work, either. There is obviously a compatiblity issue.  So the question is, how does one make .3GP videos compatible for play on a standard windows desktop?  It does no good to be able to email, if the recipient cannot view.  Thank you in advance. 

    I have managed to get the video to play.

  • Quicktime email attachment, sound plays but no video.

    I sent a 4.2 MB Quicktime Video as a attachment to my email address.
    I received it in my iPad inbox. When playing the video I heard the sound but there was no picture.
    Also, can I save a video sent by email in my iPad.

    I did some research and the paid and free version are exactly the same except the free version puts a advertisement.
    Thanks for the extra info about File Sharing in iTunes to Add movies from computer to iPad.
    Although I like my iPad (which is really just a toy) there is nothing on the market that compares to my Dell Latitude Tablet.
    I will not put itunes on my PC untill Apple makes their Pro Versions (especially QuickTime) for free and make them work just as well on a PC as a Mac.
    I had to put Quicktime on my PC to run Toon Boom which I paid $1,000.00 for because Toon Boom would not run without Quicktime.
    I regret very much buying Toon Boom for that reason although it is a excellent program which is used by the Disney Group to make their movies.   
    The QuickTime video I wanted to play on my iPad was made with Toon Boom.
    In the past ten years I never had a version of iTunes or QuickTime that did not have at least one unfixable issue.
    Thanks again!

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Jpg sent by email will not display in outlook 2010

    Since I have upgraded top the latest os pictures sent by email will not save or display in outlook 2010.
    Help please

    I agree, i can't understand why they don't just explain the settings.  And why they do not consistently work.
    I too had issues, Outlook was "working" when i set up the @me account, then I started getting the annoying little internat email login popup (that does not go away).  Finally after many "experiments" i have it "apparently working" (will explain working with the following settings:
    accoutn type: IMAP
    incoming server: imap.mail.me.com Port: 993: SSL
    outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com   Port: 25 (default): Auto
    "Require SPA" is checked, but not on outgoing server.
    It does now finally work without putting up the annoying internet email login.  However, now i discoverd a greater problem.
    OUTLOOK IS NOT REALLY SENDING THE EMAIL.  It is putting it in the "sent" box as if it did, but no one receives it.  No errors, no warning.  And this dates all the way back to the time i started using the @me account.  My only work around is to use the stupid icloud mail browser app.  Really low in functionality compared to outlook.
    This really affects the reliability of the icloud product and this is a serious error.  It really cuts down on the utility of the icloud and whewther it can be integrated with the PC at all.  Like everyone else i have also had the creation of multiple calendars and multiple contacts. 
    Apple better fix this quick or a lot of people will start using gmail, droid and google cloud products.

  • Why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? :( HElp me please..

    why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? HElp me please..

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

  • Videos (of any kind) will not play in Safari

    Okay, this has been bugging me for about two months now! Videos of any format will not play in Safari. Anything flash (Youtube for example) OR anything Quicktime (mpg, avi, mov, mp4) refuses to even show up when I try to view them. I go to a Youtube page and the whole page loads except for where the video should be...it's just not there at all. Same with Quicktime. If I go to say the HD Trailer for a movie, the three different sizes (480 720 1080) buttons do not even show up (because they are mini Quicktime things)!!
    What I have tried to solve this with: I have updated Flash, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, updated Quicktime, have Mac OS X up to date...but nothing works. These files play fine on just plain Quicktime player (ie I downloaded them) or in FIREFOX, but not in Safari.
    BTW: I am using Safari 2, not 3. Also, WMVs actually will play sometimes, but not imbedded, only if you click like www.example.com/movie.wmv
    Any help? I'm running an Intel Macbook Pro

    You can recover Your music but not with original names.
    1. Go to Your iPod hard disk
    2. You must to see hidden files (if you don't see them go to in system explorer to Tools > Folder Options > View > and mark Show Hidden Files)
    3. Go to folder named iPod_Control
    4. Copy folder Music - this is Your music but not with originally names
    I'm must to say sorry - my English is not very good - I'm still learning
    I hope it helps

  • Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

    I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
    Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference.  I need help?

    FYI...
    There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
    Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
    If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

  • Received email attachment not included when viewed in Mail on iMac

    Email attachment not visible on iMac Mail

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

    I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says -  'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
