Why do I keep getting "format not recognized" error?

Hello,
I was trying to play any of the video podcasts from Nick Jr (e.g iCarly, Drake and Josh) for my kids and I kept getting a "format not recognized" error on my APple TV and when trying to play on my PC with iTunes, the video doesn;t play at all. This seems strange to me as these podcasts are rated in the Top 10 under "kids and family" genre so they must be working for others. I was able to play other podcasts in this genre such as the Sesame Street podcast. Any ideas why these Nick Jr. ones aren't working for me?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem - with podcasts AND with Movies and TV Shows bought through iTunes. I was hoping the recent 3.0 upgrade would fix it, but no such luck. While this was an occasional problem with iTunes 8, it seems to have turned chronic with iTunes 9.
The annoying "solution" that seems to work is to unplug and replug the Apple TV and quit and restart iTunes. Even then, while watching TV Shows or Movies continuously it seems to work, but after any interruption, either due to shutting off the Apple TV or letting it go to screen saver for an hour or so between shows or movies, iTunes loses it from the device list, and the "format not recognized" message returns.

    created by chris.campbell in Using Flash Player - View the full discussionHi Luetta,I think the confusion here is that you are seeing a message that was meant for Flash Player developers, and Namisha assumed you were debugging your own flash code. If you are simply trying to use Flash Player, we'll need to uninstall the debug version of Flash and install the regular version instead.  Assuming you are on Windows, here are the steps required: 1.  Uninstall Flash Player by downloading and running this program:  http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe 2. Once uninstalled, open your web browser and navigate to: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer 3. Walk through the steps on that web page to get the right version of Flash Player installed  Once you have the normal version of Flash installed, you will no longer see these error messages. If you continue to have problems, please email me at [email protected] and we can do a quick desktop sharing session so I can help you out. Thanks,Chris If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7503430#7503430 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

    its on face book slotomania it goes to the site then changes ?
    I know very little about playing Facebook games, but in general terms, if a site loads at least partially and then suddenly redirects to a different site, it's likely to be a malicious script of some kind that a hacker has managed to get placed on that page.  After it redirects and you see the 404 error, what is shown in the address bar in your web browser?

  • Why do I keep getting a not enough storage message when trying to install GarageBand on my iPhone 4

    I have been trying to re-install GarageBand on my iPhone 4. I have tried downloading from iTunes app store and installing by sync from my MacBook. Neither will work. I keep getting the same "not enough storage" message.

    You may need as much as 2Gb free, at least on a temporary basis while installing the app.

  • ORA-01821: date format not recognized Error in PL/SQL report-4.0

    Hi,
    I am using Apex 4.0 and i have a Classic report(function returning query) which selects a date column.
    The query runs at the backend and gives the output.
    But when i run the report on the page, i get the error
    report error:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01821: date format not recognizedThe values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Everything seems to be right.
    But I have no idea why this error occurs.
    Thanks
    Divya

    Aren't these errors annoying! But there's a data / format mismatch for sure. What I need to see -- and what will tell you what is wrong -- is
    1) exactly what the data is and
    2) exactly what the format string is that is being used to convert it.
    The values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Question: Is this the source data or the target data ( what it's supposed to look like after being converted)?
    Let's start there:
    What is the source? Is it a DB column? Is it type date or VARCHAR2 or what?
    If VARCHAR2, then give us an example of the data that is failing.
    What is the format -- I assume there is one -- being used to convert the data?
    Are you doing a TO_CHAR or a TO_DATE?
    Give us lots of detail, please. Then it should be easy to solve.
    Regards,
    Howard

  • In Firefox, I keep getting "Server not found" error - CONSTANTLY!

    Two days ago I started getting the "server not found" error, off and on, daily. It is happening on both my desktop iMac 10.7, and my Windows 7 laptop. I keep having to hit the "Try Again" butting, and sometimes, several times, before a web site will finally launch. The only two extensions I have on both, are the Adblock Plus and the Last Tab Close Button, both of which, have been installed on said computers for months and months and months.
    I went in and changed a setting to the "auto detect proxy setting", hoping that would work, and it did not.
    I have Firefox version 21 on both computers, and it seems the problem started shortly after this latest Firefox update, and at the SAME TIME on both computers.
    I do not have virus protection on my iMac, nor on my Windows 7 laptop, at the moment, but I have run online software to check for anything, and no issues, so I believe, it is not that which is the issue.
    The firewalls on both computers are working fine and no issues there either, I have not changed any firewall settings, on either computer. It couldn't be the firewall, in my opinion, because this annoying error message started happening on BOTH of my computers, at the same time; I work on my iMac in the morning, then switch to my laptop in the afternoon, and same issue continues on both, and started at the same time, on both.
    Is there something broken in Firefox from this last update of the browser?
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why both computers are having this issue, at the same time?
    I have not tried using I.E. yet on my laptop, I rarely have ever needed to use that browser, and I hate it, so I don't use it.
    Any help or suggestions, would be appreciated.

    I followed those steps, but clearly some steps are missing. How do you "enable each extension one at a time"? The only choices I see in Safe Mode are "disable" and "remove."
    And why is it that every other update to Firefox breaks Firefox? I've had to install add-ons just to be able to use it in Windows 8 with a touchpad.
    Now that I think of it, it doesn't even matter any more. After years of Firefox loyalty (even after Firefox users have dropped to 28%), I'm off to download Google Chrome (up to 52%). I'll miss Firefox, but not the on-again, off-again performance.

  • Why do i keep getting this Heap Zone error

    I have been trying and trying to export this movie i made in iMovie to iDVD. It is 35 min long and every time i try to export it to iDVD it gets like 3/4 of the way done and then it gives me this heap zone error. The movie is all pictures and are all in JPG format. I have made movies like this before and never got this error. The other movies i have created are 3 to 5 min long and have exported without a problem. I have tried to export it in numerous ways and i get the same error every time. Im running a Macbook Pro with pleanty of hard drive space and 4GB of RAM. I have tried the renaming the movie, restarting the computer, and reseting the RAM. I have disconnected all other devices including the mouse. Nothing but iMovie is running and when i watch activity moniter almost all of the active RAM goes to iMovie until it gets to about 25MB or free RAM and then it fails. I have tried almost everything and from what i've seen on the internet, this is a really big deal and a lot of people are having this problem. Apple needs to fix this.

    Hi
    To free up hard disk space
    • You trash what You don't want any more - and Empty trash-basket (lost for ever)
    • You move files and material to an external hard disk
    • You move Movie Events and Projects WITHIN The iMovie Program - NOT ON DESKTOP/Finder
    ( DO NOT MOVE or adjust any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - if done iMovie loses track of them and they can be destroyed to an un-repairable state)
    If You move Events and/or Projects within iMovie to an external hard disk then there is one MUST and one Should
    • MUST - it must be Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work FOR VIDEO (everything else but not this)
    • Should be a FireWire one - as USB/USB2 performs badly to me
    Trash the pref file
    • Delete iMovie pref. file
    iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
    Yours Bengt W - AND A VERY HAPPY NEW 2012 !

  • Why do I keep getting the message; Network error occurred?

    Whenever I try to send an email. The message in the outbox states the sending failed. When I click on that email, it simply states that, Network error, occurred.
    What is causing this network error?

    Hello,
    Thank for the reply. My zip code is: 19702.
    My browser is the latest Android. Completely stock. I can access the internet. I don't use chrome. 
    I get the message only when I try to send emails from my Verizon email account. I can sometimes receive email but not all the time. I cannot send emails at all once this happens. I can send and receive emails from other email accounts except Verizon (that is why I am using Hotmail).
    If I completely deleted my Verizon account, restart my phone, than add my account back on to the phone, it will work for a couple of emails than I will get the message; send fail. Network error occurred.
