  • Why does my iTunes not play Videos with AC3 passthrough?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with my iTunes on my Mac (recent iTunes, recent OS X). As the title says, I can't play videos, that contain AC3 Audio. If I try to play a video with AC3 in iTunes, it just doesn't start playing. When I jump to a later chapter, it just shows one still frame but it doesn't start playing. QuickTime plays every video without any problem. I tried it with (self-encoded) Full HD (1080p) and also SD videos.
    QuickTime doesn't have any problem and also my 3rd Gen Apple TV streams the Video without any problem from iTunes... moveis I bought from the iTunes store also work without any problem in iTunes, as they all contain an AAC-Audio track. I didn't recognize that issue before I updated to Mountain Lion... or maybe to the latest version of iTunes.
    Does anybody know what possibly is the reason for that and how to solve it? Thank you!

    OK, I found another thread here, where my problem has already been solved. It works fine now. For everyone who got stuck on the same problem and finds my thread first, here's the solution, that helped me:
    - download A52Codec.component
    - move it to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and replace the existing file
    Best regards,

  • Why does my Ipod classic skip videos?

    For some reason whenever I try to play videos on my classic it skips video. The screen looks like it fast fowards through but the audio is not skipping. This happens with half my videos but the other half seems to work just fine.
    Any suggestions? I just want to know if it's the synchronization or something like that.

    Can I assume that even with your iPod battery is fully charged, the video skips?
    if these same videos, can play smoothly in iTunes then do a disk diagnostic on the iPod, to check the health of the iPod hardisk, here is the earlier post contributed by tt2.

  • Why does Safari no longer play video?

    When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

    1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
        Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
    2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
        Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
    3.  Allow  Plug-ins  
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • Why does Safari refuse to play videos when iOS does

    Safari 6.01 on my iMac refuses to play videos. It will play Flash.
    Is it because of location although they play on iOS.

    Many web servers adapt the content they serve to the client that requests it. That's all I can tell you based on the information you've provided.

  • Why does my ipod not play audio?

    my ipod touch 4th gen 16gb will not play audio unless it has headphones in. it is second hadn but the seller said nothing about this and the ipod is in perfect condition except for this. i have tried putting the headphones in and out and resetting the ipod, neither of these made any difference. when i play a video or a track without headphones in, the volume slider disappears as if there is no audio file. alarms and facetime sound effects etc still play so i dont think the speakers are broken. please help.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Why does the Music app play videos too?

    Hi,
    I have been an iPod, iPhone and iPad user for quite some time, but I have always loaded my music into iTunes and transferred it manually.
    Last week I took the plunge and bought my first iTunes album *applause*. I love it! Quality is awesome.
    However, the album that I bought, has 5 audio tracks, and 5 video tracks. Now when I playback the album on my iPad or iPhone, it plays both the audio and video tracks. So effectively, I listen to each song twice.
    This may be a stupid question but, how do I stop the music app from playing the videos?
    Thanks!

    i don't have any music in iCloud. I buy all my music through Amazon because it's DRM-free, download it to my PC, then put it on my phone.
    i do just ignore the request and use it normally, I was just wondering why it wanted data access in the first place. iTunes radio makes sense. Thanks.

  • Why does my Ipod touch Music/Video apps crash after update to OS4

    Updated Ipod touch (64GB) yesterday to OS4. Today I cant run the Music or the Video apps. They will LOAD, but after 3 seconds, the crash. Any ideas?
    Ive tried to do the reboot thing (DFU??) that I saw in another post but same issue.
    Tried a search several times but have not seen any posts so far with this particular issue.

    I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

  • TS1382 why does my ipod only play through one headphone?

    i tried other headphones although no matter what kind of headphones i use, the left headphone will only play. anyone know why?

    If none of the 5 R's also help resolve this problem, it's likely hardware related with the headphone jack meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • Why does my iPod start playing on its own.

    MY iPod lives in the docking station and every now then it just starts playing on its own accord.  How can I stop this as some nights it frightens the life out me!!!

    Do you have any alarms set up on the device? Perhaps you can try a hard reset of the iPod and then see how it does for a few days again.

  • Why does my Ipod start playing music when I set it on the Speaker dock?

    Everytime I set it on the speaker dock it starts playing the same song without pushing any buttons, even when I just want to charge the Ipod.

    Are you using the remote that came with the Apple TV? If so, on the Mac open System Prefs > Security and Privacy and click the "advanced" button. Select the option to "disable remote control infrared receiver" and click OK and close Sys Prefs.

  • Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

    Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

    A few possibilities...  (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
    (1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
    (2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging.  Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
    (3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
    (4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle.  Does it change from a power adapter?
    (5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system.  An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing).  If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge.  To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging?  If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen.  There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use.  If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply.  Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge).  If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use.  NOTE:  When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

  • Ipod Classic will no longer play video podcasts after upgrade to iTunes 10.

    I have a 120GB Classic. I used to be able to play video podcasts just fine. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.0 in September I can see Podcasts with a little video symbol next to them on the iPod, but when I click on them the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then flips back to the menu. If I copy the Podcast to a playlist, I get audio but no video, as always. The video podcast plays fine on the PC. I've tried "converting to iPod or iPhone version" with no success. I've Googled this problem and found many others with this issue, none with their question answered. Does anyone know if this is an issue acknowledged by Apple, and if so, do they plan to fix it? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
    Thanks.
