are you trying to watch connected to a tv or just on the ipod?  Is your sync cable attached right now or not?

  • Why can't I watch video from my iPod touch?

    I use the Apple dock and an Apple cable with red, white and yellow plugs.

    I would look at both parts (able end and iPod) of the dock connector for abnormalities (e.g., bent pins, foreign material).  If OK do you have another TV to try or another iPod to try?  Do you have an Apple store nearby where you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of their store.  Some other users have reported bad cables out-of the-box.

  • I can't turn off hold on my iPod Nano 5th Generation

    I wanted to change my song so I pushed the hold switch to off. Unfortunately hold didn't turn off. I took off the top white part that is glued on to turn off hold without the switch, just in case it was the switch that wasn't catching. It didn't work. I don't want to touch or take apart anything else unless I know what I'm doing for fear of breaking it. I just got it back in October 2009. What should I do? Please help!

    yea unfortunately there is no Apple Store anywhere near my home and now my iPod is completely ****** up. Songs play with different names and stuff. So I'll have to mail the damned thing in. Thanks for the help though.

  • Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends to me from her iPad   I am very new on my ipad2

    Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends me from her iPad?  I am very new on my ipad2.  I have no idea what my operating system is.

         Under the iPad specifications they support the following video types:
    iPad: Technical Specifications
    AirPlay Mirroring to Apple TV support at 720p
    Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p with Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)
    Video out support at 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable (cables sold separately)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 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 per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
         The iPad and iPad 2 support the same video types. You cannot open a .mov file via e-mail to the best of my knowledge (on iPad). Only YouTube videos and app specific videos* can be opened via e-mail on the iPad.
    * Such as PBS News Hour, TED, etc.
         If both of you use a social network such as Facebook she could upload the videos and can post them on your wall.

  • Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TA44551 i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    As I said in my previous reply:
    You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you

  • I can't see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation)

    I can’t see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation), but I can see and play them on the iTunes on my laptop. What do I do?

    Hi lone_dreamr,
    This is going to depend on how you are syncing music to your iPod nano. If you are automatically syncing, what option do you have selected in this menu? (Entire music library, or Selected content)
    You may want to uncheck the "Sync Music" box, apply the changes, then recheck the box, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • HT1351 I've purchased a game from the itunes store. Can I sync it to my Ipod Nano 5th generation?

    I have an IPOD Nano 5th generation.
    It has 3 games installed and I bought a game from the itunes store.
    How do you get the game on the ipod? I saw somewhere "clicker" games are the only kind
    you can use.  This is driving me crazy.  Can I sync this game to the IPOD at all? Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. It was a game I purchased that is suppose to be compatible with IPOD 5G however it downloaded from the ITUNES store in the "Apps" of ITUNES, but shows that it is a game with the extension.ipa.  There is no game tab in ITUNES. How do I get the game tab back in order to sync with my IPOD 5G
