Why do some podcasts not play on my touch?

I download podcasts with Itunes. When I sync to my 1st Gen Ipod Touch most play fine, but some will not play on the touch. I get a message that there are some podcasts that will not play on my touch. They are all downloaded with Itunes and in the MP4 format. There are other shows in the same "sieres" that play just fine. But some episodes don't sync. They play OK in Itunes. How do I get them to sync to my touch?

Hi AC,
Thanks for that.
I have Apple TV 1 & only use Handbrake.
An example of 2 problem videos:
High Society
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.09GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC
Tagged Date: UTC
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 1290kps, 720*416 (16:9), at 25 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
The Marine
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.53GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC 2011-11-29
Tagged Date: UTC 2011-11-29
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 2222kps, 1280*688 (1:860), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
To a layman like me, these specs look similair to specs of my non-problem videos.
e.g.
The Pawnbroker
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 764 MiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC
Tagged Date: UTC
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 794kps, 512*384 (4:3), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 2 Ref Frames)

  • Why do some slides not play in preview? Yet...

    I have a presentation put together over several versions of Keynote (within the past year). I was adding some slides and found that the new slides did not play when I previewed the presentation full screen, but they do appear correctly when I export the whole thing to Quicktime.  Has anyone noticed this happening?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if I still have the old version, though I think i deleted it.
    It would be gracious of Apple to advise its loyal users that they (Apple) have broken a program in terms of legacy files. So we don't waste our time using the "improved" version. A simple advisory like "Don't use this on earlier files."
    Thanka again.

  • Some albums not playing on iPod Touch

    Hi.
    Some of my music from my iTunes library is not playing on my iPod touch. Only the music with album covers are not playing. Strange.
    I have tried to delete it all and reload the music, but no luck. Any help?

    Try a restore from backup. If still problem try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why do some podcasts stop playing & how do I fix it?

    Hi.
    I seem to have a bug with some of my podcasts. I subscribe to a few and I've noticed that sometimes there will be a "bug" in a particular episode which means it just stops playing at a particular point in the item - this can be at the beginning, middle or towards the end. At first, I thought it was only related to some of the more "amateur" podcasts I subscribed to. But now, I've noticed that it is also happening with a high quality series I subscribe to. It doesn't happen on every episode/file; eg, two will be faulty and then the next two will play fine.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this bug and how to overcome it?
    thanks

    Yes and no. I just got my wife a Nano, but before that I was the only user and account. Yes, I run as admin occasionally - had the same results either way.
    I changed all the type tags for the items in my library (and then deleted them for good measure - I drag and drop, not sync, so my library isn't that important anyway). I'll give this a try and see if it works. I guess time will tell.
    Thanks for the idea of checking the Type tag!! I wasn't aware of that. It gives me some things to experiment with.
    Thx! S

  • Why do some songs not play through entirely when they have in the past?

    In both iTunes and on my iPhone and iTouch, certain songs that used to play completely now stop with just less than a minute left on them.  I checked "Info" on the songs and nothing is set to stop the song before it reaches the end.  Any thoughts?

    It is from iTunes not the web. The link is a screenshot of what happens in iTunes.

  • Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    I took four video clips while on a trip this week.  Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly).  The other two are Tall and not oriented right.  Orientation is 90 degrees to the right.  I don't know why this is happening on occasions.  Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing.  It's weird.  And I can't figure it out.  The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

  • Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view?

    Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks

    Hi, Daryl -
    If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
    Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

    What happens when you play music? Do the hardware volume controls work when using the Music app?

  • I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

  • TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

    Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

    If the animation is based on Flash. it will not work. iPhones have never had Flash capability, as Adobe has never provided it. Search the forums for "Flash" to see at least 5000 explanations.

  • Why do some but not all podcasts transfer to my iPod Touch

    I manually drag/drop podcasts to my iPod Touch.  If I select a set of them and drag/drop to the iPod Touch, most will transfer fine, but some will not.
    I have lots of memory on my iPod Touch
    Some characteristics of the podcasts that do not transfer:
    1) The podcasts that do not transfer cannot be transferred individually either.
    2) They play fine in iTunes.
    3) They tend to be in contiguous blocks. E.g. all prior to a Nov29 transfer, the podcasts between Nov29 and Dec 15 do not transfer, and all after Dec15 transfer fine.
    It behaves like the system incorrectly thinks that they are already on the iPod Touch, and therefore does not think they need to be transferred again.
    I have tried marking them as "played", and then marking them back to "not played" in iTunes no effect.
    iTunes 10.5.1
    iPod Touch 4th generation w/software 5.0.1

    Flash drives typically are formatted FAT and hold a very limited number of files. You can overcome this by exporting the photos to a folder and dragging that folder to the flash drive
    You know don't you that moving the photos in this way loses versions, faces etc. generally it is better to move the iPhoto library intact to the new computer (network, external hard drive, direct connection, etc)
