Why my apple converter doesn't convert video

I got a rocketfish component cord for christmas and it has the old ipod hookup (not the lighting) and i put my lighting converter onto it and plugged in my ipod 5 and it would only play sound not video, but with my old display it works fine. Is there any way to fix this why is this happening

could I get a apple 30 pin AV adapter then stick 30 pin to lighting adapter on that to make it work with the rocketfish cable.

  • Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs

    I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.

    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do.  Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

  • Why does Apple India doesn't Accept Debit Cards While Apple US Does???

    It's only Apple India which does not accept DEBIT CARDS but Apple U.S. does accept Debit Cards. I saw this while trying ton upgrade Apple QuickTime 7 to Pro.
    SO PLEASE DON'T SAY TO ALL THAT "APPLE DOES NOT ACCEPT DEBIT CARDS, WHICH IS A BIG LIE".

    Hello creativerhythm,
    India is a particular problem for Apple.   While the basics for ordering are set up, the means of payment are more restrictive; you can only use the means outlined in my earlier post.
    While we here cannot speak for Apple, I understand the Indian Government's insistence on the majority ownership of shares being owned by Indian nationals, is the stumbling block.   Were that to be resolved, other facilities like means of payment might be resolved too.

  • Convert Selection for Apple TV produces file without video

    Good morning. I have a .MP4 file (H.264 codec) that plays just fine in iTunes. However, it won't sync to my Apple TV, saying it's not compatible. When I run "Convert Selection for Apple TV," iTunes hums away for a few minutes and then produces a file with the proper length and clean sound, but a blank picture. Any ideas?

    I've had the same type of problem. A 720p video that plays fine in QT is accepted by iTunes but will not transfer to my AppleTV. I used the convert for Apple TV option and the resulting file would download to the Apple TV but the playback is just a whitescreen with sound.
    When I convert videos sometimes iTunes or AppleTV won't accept them but I've yet to figure out why - resolution, bitrate, and complexity are the same yet some work and others don't.

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

    Hi Guys:
         I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
         But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
          So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
    Does the same thing happen to you guys??
    btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue.  Everything used to just work.  I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad). 
    My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
    Let me know if you find a fix.

  • When I convert video files to iPod format in iTunes, it lost audio. Why? :(

    I right clicked the video in iTunes and hit convert to iPod format. It converted but the audio disappeared. Can anyone tell me why?

  • ITunes Rejecting Converted video - Why?

    I have a 5G Ipod and am using v7.02 for ITunes. I am trying to copy converted video (Mediafork converted) into Itunes but Itunes does not appear to accept this even when using the 'click and drag', 'add to library',or import methods, or when using third-party software such as Podner. I get a green + icon when I drag to the Itunes Library- but then nothing.
    I believe I have converted the video files correctly (MPEG4- fps, bitrate etc), so do not consider this to be the problem. Any idea what the problem is here?
    The converted files are presenting as Quicktime - could it be Quicktime over-riding Itudes?
    Thanks in advance

    It's not converted correctly.
    Did you manually set the parameters or use the default settings present in media fork for the iPod(under H.264 menu)?

  • Converted video in iTunes but it won't sync to iPad

    Usually, I convert videos for my iPad or iPhone using Toast and it works fine. Today, I had an mp4 video and I just dropped it into iTunes where it will play there just fine. However, it will not sync to my iPad. So, I went into the iTunes Advanced menu and had iTunes convert it for the iPad. Even that video will not sync to my iPad. I don't get it. I just converted it with Toast and now it will go on my iPad thru iTunes. I don't get why it doesn't work when iTunes converts it.

    Video is a pretty complicated subject.  I take it this video wasn't from your normal source so who knows what combination of audio and video codecs were made to produce the thing.  I also don't know how iTunes processes video.  Some converters can just pass through components and not really re-code them, and maybe iTunes did that to something that to something that really needed re-coding.  Maybe you'll find tips at:

  • No sound when convert videos to ipod

    i have bought quicktime pro, and i can successfully convert videos onto my ipod, but there is no sound on them. has anyone got a clue how i can resolve this?
    thanks alot
      Windows XP  

    No new "points" can be given as yours was just a tagged on response to an already answered question.
    Muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) are intended for playback only. MPEG 1 or 2 require licensing agreements ($$) from the Moving Pictures Export Group (the people that make the file name MPEG) which would be passed on to all end users and Apple has decided against those extra fees.
    Those are the "limitations" of the Apple software. It currently doesn't extract audio from muxed file formats and I don't expect any changes any time soon.
    Dozens (hundreds) of third party software apps can convert your file and include audio. Many of them are free.
    MPEG Streamclip offers both a Mac and Windows version. It can convert your .mpg file with audio. It even has a "one button" export feature to meet the specifications for iPod files.
    Now you really know the limitations of the software and the reasons for them.
    Get some third party tool to make your iPod files from your muxed file formatted ones.

  • No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

    whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

    I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
    If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
    Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
    AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
    i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
    how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

  • Converted videos have no audio??

    I converted my videos to be formatted to my ipod but when I tried to listen to it the music video had no sound or audio at all.
    When I play the video on itunes it doesn't have any sound either but the unconverted video does have audio?

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

    but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

  • Converting videos to play on iPod takes away sound

    For some reason, every time I convert a video in iTunes to play on my iPod, the sound is removed. The original video and the converted video will both play in iTunes, and the original video will have the sound and the converted video will not. Obviously, when I move the converted video to the iPod, the sound still doesn't play.
    I've downloaded a few video podcasts (the Strong Bad e-mails) in iPod format already, and they work just fine. It's just ones I convert manually in iTunes that have this problem.

    Quicktime doesn't play "muxed" video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    You need a 3rd party converter such as Handbrake, or MPEG Streamclip to convert the video file.
    The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    -or-
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.

  • Have converted videos to MP4 - Can't get them to iPod - Please help!

    I know there are threads on this subject already - why is it soooo **** hard to get a personal (non iTunes video) onto a new iPod?
    I have converted my videos to MP4 - I have them in the Videos main folder - when I update....nothing happens. Why??
    Can someone please help me with this... Why would Apple make this so hard?
    Thx

    So can you see the thumbnails in the video folder? If so, try dragging the thumbnail onto the iPod icon and see if it works that way.
