Videos shown as Songs

I have a big problem with my iPod Video. Recently I updated iTunes and then it goes into iTunes and then I get an error and iTunes closes(its one of those errors that doesn't say anything about it). So I try to re-install and still iTunes won't open. Then I open my try to listen to my iPod and while i'm browsing through the song list and noticed that there are video files in the list. I try to play it but it plays like a song, audio only. And then I go into my Video list and nothing is there. I even tried updating and restoring my iPod but nothing works its still like that. I even made new videos to see if my others were corrupted but still nothing.

Try synching on a different USB port. This product is weird sometimes. There are many ways and things to try. So it's up to you.
If the videos used to show before...
I think the pretty much guaranteed fix is this:
1. Stopping any disk checking / anti-virus type utility on your computer.
2. Uninstall iTunes COMPLETELY.
3. Download the latest iPOD Updater and wipe your IPOD to factory settings. (This will remove all the mp3's and everything on your IPOD, so keep that in mind.)
4. Reinstall iTunes. (Do not turn any of those disk checking type utilities.) Resynch the IPOD and everything should work fine.
If the videos did not show before. It's possible you created them wrong. Try another method.
Discussion Item: If you're a Windows only user... some members on this forum are one-sided on here; it comes out in their responses. I think both have strengths and weaknesses.

I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

How to add a video into a song(iphone4)

I have recently bought an album and the music isn't a music video so i want to add a video to the song, how do i do that.

Hello Coalnic,
It sounds like you are wanting to add video to your mp3 files. You can use iMovie on your phone to create a new project and add your video and audio to it, then export your project to the camera roll.

Video's and songs start then stop then start again

Whenever I try to play A Video or A Song, they start, then stop, then start again.

Try to uinstall and reinstall your audio device.
1. On Window vista,Click on Start and type Devive Manager on the search box.Look for sound, video and game controllers.Click on the plus sign,you should see the audio adapter, most toshiba laptops use realtek high definition audio.Just right click and click on uninstall.
2.After you uninstall,Click action at the top of your device manager and click scan for hardware changes.It should reinstall the audio adapter.
3. Try to play music.
Notes: Sometimes the problem is like this because of some driver updates from windows vista.

After that, you need to restore the iPod by the sound of things.

Video ipod skipping songs

So when I am playing some just skip! If I go back to the song that skips it will some times play but not always. Videos do the same thing. Any one else had this problem or have any idea what causes it?

Hello,
Do these songs/videos play ok in iTunes, or not?
Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold the "menu" + "select" (center) buttons for 7 seconds, then the Apple logo will appear).
Have you tried restoring your iPod?
Restore your iPod to Factory Settings
Restoring will delete all the content off your iPod, but will not affect your iTunes library. This may work for you to clear up those issues.

Video in Shuffle Songs

Okay, I could be completely wrong here, but bear with me.
I seem to remember, months ago, when I clicked shuffle songs, it'd play the music videos as well and actally show the video.
Now when I click shuffle songs, when a video plays, it shows like 5 seconds in as the album cover and plays the audio, but the video doesn't work.
Am I just imagining that it ever did? Or is it supposed to play music videos? If yes, can someone help me fix it?

You're imaging it. To watch the actual Music Video, you have to go straight through the Videos menu. From the Main Menu, go to Videos, Music Videos, and select the MV you'd like to "watch." Shuffle Songs just shuffles Songs, meaning, Main Menu > Music > Songs. If you were to access those same MVs via the Songs list, the video wouldn't play. Make sense? Probably not.

How to get a video of a song off of a dvd.

I am a relative mac newbie. I have a 'live set' video of my band that was recorded as a single chapter dvd. I would like to take one or two songs and put into iMovie and also dump them to youtube.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi - my notes on this
DVD back for future editing
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
C. I prefer one of these two ways
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
D. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .

DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. [i] I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off.[/i] ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + MPEG-Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10/11 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org

How do I seperate the video from the song?

I understand how to create a cd using iTunes, but for music videos/songs I've purchased, how do I burn ONLY the song and not have the video attatched? Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance.

If it is a music video you can't separate the sound from the video, it is all together. There may be a way to play the video with iTunes and use another program to capture only the sound but I have no idea.

Itunes Equalizer not working for video - only affecting songs

I have noticed that any Itunes equalizer settings that I select only affect songs in my itunes library. Videos are not affected at all by the equalizer settings. This means if I have a very dull sounding video I cannot use the equalizer to improve the audio. Does anyone know how to make the equalizer affect videos within itunes. Thanks in advance

Apple does not care. You have already bought their product and that's all that matters... They got your money and they're happy; you don't have to be. Sadly, all you've paid for is a nice logo on the back of what should be an amazing device.
Only buy an iPod/iPad/iPhone/iDevice if you are trying to impress your friends. Don't buy one if you want to be impressed, because this will not be the case. It will serve no purpose beyond making you look as though you have money to throw away.
But, since you have already given them your hard-earned money, I suggest you don't use an EQ setting. "Off" works best as it produces the least amount of distortion on the iDevices I've tried.
Hope this helps and "enjoy" your Apple experience.

If you would buy a music video for a song, would you still purchase the audio only (.m4a) version?

I'm just asking for your opinions. For example, I would purchase the music video "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood for $1.99. So, now that you have the music video, will you still purchase the same song (from the album, audio only) for $1.29?

No, just play the music video and close your eyes.

IPod Video problem with songs not playing

I received a 30GB iPod video for christmas today and accidently made a mistake while configuring it. Since I had an old iPod I figured that i wouldn't have to insert the enclosed CD and therefore I connected my iPod to my computer. The iPod icon never came up on my desktop so, left with no other choice i had to unplug it with the dreaded "do not disconnect" on the screen. Now, I can put songs on the iPod but it won't play them. The time bar at the bottom of the iPod screen simply sits at :00 as long as i leave the iPod on. HELP!!

Ipod video is skipping songs

Hi there!
I have had my ipod video for months now. Previously, I could choose "shuffle songs" from the main menu and just listen to my 3,000+ songs in random order.
I rebuilt my computer a month or so ago, and reinstalled the ipod software and itunes. When I did so, I had to completely re-synch all the stuff in my itunes with my ipod.
And the phenomenon I'm experiencing now is that when I do "shuffle songs," it skips songs. It will show the artist and title for a second, then show another artist and title for a second, then finally play the third song. (it's not always the third song--it's random). I have tried going to the song that was skipped directly through the artist's folder, but it still won't play. On my desktop computer (windows, by the way), I can go to that song, and it plays fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your help...
Susan

I had to completely start over with all my itunes stuff when my computer crashed a few months ago and that's pretty much like what you've had to do with your computer. The same thing happended to me, a lot of the songs started top skip over - there's two reasons for this(there could be more, but these are the two that I know of!)Firstly - do all your songs play in yout itunes libery??? If the songs that are skipping over don't play, the computer can't locate them(this is probably because you've had to re-build your computer - this can cause itunes to become confuesd as to the location of the songs - make sure your libery has the correct destination for all your music) and thus they won't play in the ipod.
And Secondly, If they do still play in itunes it sounds like you may have a hardware problem - that's what I had.I had to get a brand new one as a result!) The best way to try and fix this is to completely restore the ipod so that it's back to the original settings and then sync the ipod again.
That should fix your problem. If you end up having no luck with that chances are the problem really is your ipod(the hardware) and I'd send it back to be replaced. Hope this hepls you in some way!
