Why can't I play pod casts on my touch?

I just got my first ipod, a refurbished 3G touch. I went to try to dowload a pod cast and I recieved an error message saying that it could not be played on this ipod. What is going on?

What iOS is on the iPod?
Was the podcast in the podcast section of your iTunes library and did you sync the podcast to the iPod?

  • Why can't i play cw on my ipod touch with the ipico

    how can i play the cw app with my ipico?

    Just what is the cw app and what is ipico?
    I suspect the ipico is a projector. For a 4G and below, TV out only works for apps the specificially support TV out. Thus, it appears that cw does not support TV out.
    The iPod Movie app is supported.

  • Why can't I play songs on my iPod touch

    I just updated my iPod touch operating system to 5.0.1.
    Now some (almost all) of the song titles are not highlited so I can't touch them to play.
    What can I do?

    - Try a reet. Nothing wil 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.
    - Unsync/delete all the music from the iPod and resync
    - Restore from backup

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

    My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
    Why can't I play it on my computer?
    This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Many thanks,
    Mascha

    I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
    Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
    I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • HT3775 why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

    why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

    Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
    Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

  • Just purchased a Micro.... How can I get a pod cast on my mi

    How can I get a pod cast on my Micro? Thanks.

    I use the Zen Micro Explorer and select the 'Import' function. You gotta browse to you Podcasts, select them and then transfer. Personally, I change the Genre to Podcast so they're all in the same menu on the Micro.

  • Why can't I play Face Book games on iPad?

    Why can't I play Face Book games on my iPad?

    You can play many of them, at least the ones found in the App Store. Others you might be able to play by using one of the alternate browsers or apps out there that allow you to 'play' Flash games.
    You can't play them in the way you're used to because, well ..... pick from the following:
    You aren't using what you're used to using, and it doesn't do things the same way that you're used to doing them.
    FaceBook was created by children, for children, and uses Flash ... which does not exist on Apple mobile devices.

  • HT5409 why can't I play an MPEG4 movie on my mac

    Why can't I play a movie shared from my MacBookPro as an MPEG4 on my MacBook Air or my main Mac computer?

    Have you tried VLC ? This problem can be easily solved with VLC player. If it does not work, you may need to convert MPEG-4 video to H.264 MP4 for playback on your Mac. Good luck.

    Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile? I know that currently Firefox Mobile does not support Flash, but mp4 videos will not play either.

    I fixed it by rebooting, now everything works. Thanks Demo, for your help.
