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

  • Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    Some find the mobile device transfer confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • Why Can't I get Video Out to TV?

    I purchased an MSI Machine from a local distributor and they failed to give me any doocumentation. I've spent much time and anguish gathering the info. (Specs Below)
    I'm trying to get video out to TV and hopefully Video in also. But I don't know what I'm doing. I was able to get ahold of the proper drivers and some MSI Software such as the NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager that I think was supplied with the MSI Driver. I can Use two Monitors in any array such as Clone, Span, Dual View and Single but I cant output to my TV using Clone and the TV-out + DVI. Do I need special software. I'm using Windows Media Player and some videos and my svideo cable connected to TV on Video 1. Please Help. Please Please. Thanks In Advance. Gregg

  • Why can't I get find my iphone on my ipod 4th gen?

    Hi there. I am trying to get find my iPhone for my iPod. It has iOS 5.1.1 and I signed it up to iCloud, but when I try to get find my iPhone, it says requires iOS 7 which is incompatible with this iPod. I need help. I don't know what to do. I have got the iWork and iLife apps perfectly because when I installed them they said 'do you want to install an older version of the app?' I said yes and they installed instantly.

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Why can't I get video when watching wmv files. I get audio but no video. And yes, I've loaded the latest version of flip4mac.

    When I try to play a wmv file on my Mac I get the audio but no video. I've downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac but that doesn't seem to help. I recently "upgraded" to Lion. Any connection?? Any ideas??? I posted this a week or so ago and was told to download the latest version of Flip4Mac. Let me repeat: I've already downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac and it doesn't seem to help.

    So did you download the latest flip4mac?  (just kidding)
    Does this happen with all wmv's or just specific wmv files?
    Try playing them with vlc to see if they play there.

  • Getting Video to Play on My Ipod Classic

    Ok...so what am I doing wrong? I have an Ipod Classic and a Mac with ITunes 7.5. I have downloaded some video podcasts on my computer that I subscribe to such as some from the Washington Post. They play perfectly on my computer (video and sound); however, when I play them on my IPod I get a static album cover and only the sound of the programs play---not the video. I did this with several different podcasts. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong as I have previously played video on this IPod. I must confess, I have not used it in while some this may be direct USER ERROR......
    Thanks!

    Thanks to all for your assistance. My problem was solved by going to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828 This link was provided to me by someone on these discussion boards. Thanks to everyone for their help!
    Happy 2008!! Problem solved!

  • Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

    What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
    Thank you

    Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
    Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
    Buy a larger capacity iPod
    Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
    What happens when you try
    What else is on your iPod.
    Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
    In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

  • Why can't I convert a tv show to my ipod?

    I have downloaded a tv movie of Itunes and it won't play on the Ipod Nano. When I try to convert it the "Create ipod or iphone version" is grayed out and can not be selected. How can I convert this video to play on the ipod?

    Hey vduplessis00,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may currently have the HD version of a TV show downloaded to your library. As HD content is not compatible with iPod nano, you'll want to download the SD version of this content from iTunes in the Cloud, if available. Here's how to do it:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
    Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
    1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
    2. Open iTunes on your computer.
    3. From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    4. Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
    5. Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
    6. In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
    7. Search for the desired video and click the download button.
    8. This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
