Why Can I Only Get Sound On Video's

I have a 30gig iPod and have a few vid's I would like to watch on it while travelling. I converted a number of .avi formatted vid's to the .mp4 that ipod requires using winAVI but on trying to watch the then converted files on my PC or the iPod I only get the sound and no video(black screen). Any help would be appreciated.
n/a Windows XP Pro

There is a setting on the iPod under Videos -> Video Settings where you set the TV Out to ON/OFF/Ask. To watch on the iPod itself you should have it set for OFF or Ask. However, normally when it is set to ON, you still get a still screen on the iPod showing an icon of what is playing and text stating the name of the video. You don't normally get a black screen, which makes me think it might be something else.
But check the setting for TV Out all the same just to be sure. If it is ok, you might consider doing a reset and maybe even a restore to see if that works to fix the issue.

What format of MPG is this? Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video? How was the video created?

if you have sound icon on your menu bar: press alt on your keyboard and click mouse on sound icon - check is the correct audio output is selected.
If you do not have this icon: System preferences > Sound > Output and check audio output

Why can't I get live streaming video to play

Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

Why can I only get wi fi on my ipad when my computer is on?. My laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
Appreciate your help!

Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Why can't I get sounds on my apps?

I can't get any sounds on my apps I CAN get sounds on my music only time I get sounds on my apps is with headphones

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute/unmute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off').
The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why can't I get the Audi-video chat started?

My step-daughter and I have iSight cameras and Macintosh Computers with iChat installed. On Friday afternoon we tried to start a video-chat. I heard by phone, that we were both trying to get in touch with each other at the same time.
• I was able to get my step-daughter entered as one of my ‘Buddies’. There is a Buddy List and her name is there, correctly. Though I have to add her name, from my address book, each time I close iChat down.
• The rectangular menu has the following icons at the bottom A, a telephone icon & a video-camera ‘greyed out’. I do not see why I cannot blacken them.
• When my step-daughter succeeded in getting her camera turned on (see could see herself on her computer screen) I double-clicked on the video-camera part of her name card in the buddy list.
• Miraculously, but ultimately disappointingly, the process of trying to contact my step-daughter began. Another view of my camera picture appeared, the rotating ‘stop-clock’ type icon began spinning for about ten seconds. The message setting up video-chat changed to tell me that the attempt to establish a video-chat had failed because I had failed to respond.
• But I had no indication of how to respond. Minutes later I was able to establish a chat with my step-daughter with text. If I can establish textual contact, why not audiovisual?
• I take it the use of Bonjour is the way to go rather than aim.

I'm not sure how to add to my own topic, or I'm supposed to... but here goes.
One thought as to why text messages will work and Audio Video won't has to do with broadband speed. I checked my Internet Service Provider website (Cable & Wireless in the Cayman Islands) and they have a way of 'Testing Your Broadband Speed'.
I tried that and although I could not print the results, the test told me that my download speed is 1.3 mb and my upload speed is 553 kb. I haven't a clue if that is fast, slow or something in between. however, page 3 of the iChat brochure (videoconferencing for the rest of us) http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/ said that to initiate or participate in a 1 to 1 video conference the bandwidth required is 100 kbps. I've got that, right?
Another thoughtthat I had was that my step-daughter may not have 'Full .Mac membership', she may just be 'on trial'. I'll ask her and if that's the case it's problem solved, see page one of http://www.mac.com/1/ichat.html.
Router doubts have been dispelled. I have a Netopia not a Belkin. A troubleshooting piece from 2003 refering to a Beta version of all this said that a Belkin router would not do the business.
So, anymore thoughts out there, Mac people?

Why can't I get sound notification for my email anymore?

I am no longer able to get sound notification for send or receive email nor can I get sound notification for incoming phone calls. What happened and is there a correction?

Before doing anything else, is your ringer switch in silent mode? I'd try toggling the switch a few times to make sure it's working. The phone should vibrate when you move the switch from on to silent. If it doesn't then the switch may be broken.
Next make sure the volume for notifications is not off. Check the Sound settings for this. Changing the volume there should also cause your (phone) ringtone to play. If it doesn't then there is something very wrong.
The only other thing I can suggest if the above doesn't help is doing a hard reset of the phone. Hold power and home buttons down until screen goes dark and Apple icon appears, then let go.
If that doesn't work, then the only other thing you can try is doing a Backup and then a Restore in iTunes. If that doesn't work, then there's a hardware problem.

Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?

This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
Thanks.

Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
not the problem.
I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD.

Why can I only get on firefox web sites and Facebook?

Why can't I get sound thru internet?

I get sound in iTunes but not viewing a video on the internet. I have MacBook Pro.

Devigndesign wrote:
The disks are 5.1 Dolby digital. And I use Hand break that has apply tv 2 sound defaults
that doesn't mean that they have been converted correctly though.
for an appletv file, you should have 2 audio tracks (track 2 should be AC3 pass-thru with the 5.1 audio track).
if you are sure they have been converted correctly, then make sure you have "digital audio" enabled on the appletv (either "auto" or "on).
