Videos sent via mms are not playing on iPhone 4s.

My nephew has iphone 4s just like me. when i send him mms videos he says they won't play. I send the same video to my husband's 4s and no problem. I think my nephew's settings are the issue but I am not sure what to tell him. He lives in another state so I can't look at his settings. What should my nephew look for in his settings to allow videos to play?

Sending an iPhone video via email doesn't change the quality... It is still a pixelated mess. I'm thinking carriers have nothing to do with it. Plus it still doesn't explain better quality videos I've experienced with previous phones using the same carrier. (I have to use a downloaded app to make videos crisp quality then upload it to the computer) It's the phone.

Iphone videos sent via mms are crap. Why?

I want to know what the heck happened and who dropped the ball on iPhone video MMS. It gets compressed to the point where it is completely unable to be made out. Not to mention there is no zoom option. Maybe I could understand if you're sending a video to someone without an iPhone and the quality is poor, but even iPhone to iPhone its the same. I think its totally ridiculous for a phone that is suppose to be so great... I'm tired of getting videos that I can't even see a facial expression just a blob on the screen. One other thing I would like to know. Why is it that phones I had before the iPhone was EVEN out had better video MMS capabilities?? Its just BS.
Apple should fix this problem with all iphones old and new... I have the iPhone 4 32gb and I BET this problem was overlooked again with the 4s!

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,

Images sent via email are not attachments

I upgraded to Lion and now, jpeg images sent via email are not attachments but are rather images embedded in the message. I want my attachments back!! Those I send images to are saying they can not save the files as there are no attachments. How do I fix this? Everything was fine with Snow Leopard and running a photography business has me sending images a lot. Clients used to "save" the images or "select all" because they were attachment files. Now they can only see the imbedded image that is not a file.
Also, I used to send jpeg images to my Windows 7 Phone to build my portfolio when I had Snow Leopard and now with Lion I do not have files sent to my phone but the image itself which I can't save to my phone.
HELP!

Does the Control+Click work with PC's? My clients use PC's and they cant download the embedded images. One client specifically is a webmaster for a sports club I photograph at every sporting event. At the end of each event I may have 40 + photos downsized and sent to him to post on his site so each email will have 7 - 10 images.
With Snow Leopard, the images would be attached files but also imbedded images on my end. On his end, they're attached files he could just select all and save then put on the site. Now he and other PC clients are saying he can only save one image at a time. This is a lot of work and seems a bit backwards to me.
When sending to my Windows 7 Phone, the image is not embedded but shows up as an attached file which my phone then gives me the option to "save to phone". Now it's an embedded image with no options to save to phone.
I will have a look at the Attachments Tamer but it seems crazy to have to buy an app for something that seems simple to fix on Apple's end.

Videos in my iTunes are not playing back correctly.

Every time I choose to play on of my music videos purchased from iTunes, it playsback really distorted and fuzzy sounding. I have checked all my connections ot see it it was a speaker issue, and I also checked to see if these same videos would play on windows media player and quick time, which they did. I have gone through apples page on video playback problems and did everything that applied to my computer and still I've had no luck. I am currently running windows 7 64-bit and am using iTunes version 10.4.0.80 which I recently updated to.

The movies and tv shows in your iTunes library on your computer can be transferred to your iPad via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Movies and TV Shows tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes. After the movies and tv shows are transferred, they will be available in the Videos app under iOS 5.

Some incoming messages sent via dovecot are not arriving in inboxes

One of my clients has just found out that messages sent to her, from a specific sender were never received. The recipient has no rules set-up in Outlook, and looking at her account via IMAP/WebMail show no sign of the messages either. The SMTP log seems to show it getting processed and then the: delivered via dovecot service" message at the end of the process. But the message never shows up in my clients inbox. My client is a lawyer and right now she's worrying about other messages that may have not made their way into her inbox. I'm using SpamAssasin, ClamAV, spamhaus black lists, but everything in the log looks OK to me. is it possible that the sender is using an SMTP server other than the registered domain and that is causing the reverse lookup to reject it? I can't find anything in the logs to show that the messages are getting rejected at some point along the way. And they're not sitting in the Que waiting to be distributed. i'm stumped.

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.

Hi HariTej,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
93tid & jimmyireland's suggestions are one of the options you may consider. However, we'd like to further check on this to determine the cause & other possible resolutions available. Can you further elaborate on your concern? What's the exact error message? How are you accessing YouTube? Is it via your phone browser or a 3rd party app? Can you access the internet? Which connection are you using?

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.

My songs and videos are not playing.

Hello,
My songs and videos are not playing in the iPod. If i play music on online in iPod, it works. So, please reply me as soon as possible.
Thank You,
Krishna Patel

I have had similar problems in the past, but not with so many songs... If you got them on the iTunes store, and there aren't so many, just re-download them, this happens to be sometimes. I'm guessing that there was some error during the download. sorry.

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!

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

It's just my iPhone 6,I have tried everything resetting network settings, hard reboot, remove/reinstall app, different updates of FB app. I am now leaning towards a full factory reset of i6 does anyone else have a clue as to why just the iPhone is affected?

Clips on time line are not playing at right time.

I dragged my movie clips and photos onto my timeline, but when I play the movie back the clips and photos are not playing at the time they are placed on the timeline. What do I do? Thanks.

Hi
TimeLine in iMovie - any version - doesn't behave as in other video editors as FCE/P or Premiere.
Here each new video-clip or photo snapps to the one to it's left. One can't fix them in Time else putting in "Dummy" clips in between.
If they still don't playback in a continous way - there can be several problems
• free space on Start-up hard disk low - I never go under 25Gb free space
(free space on other second/external hard disks - doesn't matter)
• iMovie pref file might have been corrupted - close iMovie, trash it and re-start iMovie
• Use of strange video and photo and audio file format might also do this - iMovie HD6 wants
video - streamingDV as from miniDV tape Camera via FireWire
photos - .jpg and .png
audio - .aiff 48kHz 16-bit (or from Audio-CD) - NO .mp3 or direct from iTunes
