Why won't my videos play in iTunes when I already downloaded them?

I downloaded an episode to watch along with a few songs....they downloaded on my iPad and now they are showing up in my purchased but its only playing 30 seconds of the episode and the songs won't play at all. Can anyone help?

iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store. Videos and tv shows that you've synced and/or downloaded to the iPad go into the Videos app :
Songs that you've synced or downloaded go into the iPod or Music app (depending on which version of iOS you have)  :

    Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

    Hi There,
    I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
    I then went to the following apple link
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
    Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

  • Why won't my songs play on itunes?

    I have windows xp and recenlty I had all my items removed, my hard drive wiped, and then all my items were re-added to my laptop.  My volume works just fine with everything except iTunes....when I hit play on a song, the song cues up, but it doesn't play, and the little curser that moves as the song progesses just sits there at the 0:00 mark.  Do I need to update a driver?  Thanks so much!!!

    Hello,
    I have the latest Itunes and a IPOD CLASSIC updated.
    Some songs i can play in itunes (MP3 CDRip 320 KBS) won't play in the ipod.
    I don't know how to fix this problem.
    I restored the ipod from the itunes and sync again, but the problem persist.
    The sogs are Skipped when i try to play.
    I find a fix for this problem: sync the music with mediamonkey.
    ALL songs can be played in the ipod after sync with mediamonkey.
    Is very strange this problem, maybe itunes generate this problem, because after aync with itunes many songs are skiped and won't play, but with mediamonkey sync the problem is solved.

  • Why won't my podcasts play in iTunes?

    https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/den-andre-podcasten/id670277522?mt=2
    I got this submitted some days ago. It runs through feedburner from soundcloud and blogger. The RSS-feed seems to work fine in other software. And I am able to download it perfectly from the feed directly from feedburner. But in iTunes it seems like only a very very short fragment of a second is played, and then stops.
    Anyone?

    The URL given for your latest episode's media file is
    http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DenAndrePodcasten/~5/5_9tdy3rWI8/download.mp3
    However this redirects to
    https://soundcloud.com/detandreteatret/den-andre-podcasten-ep-2/download.mp3
    First off, you can't use https in iTunes. But in any case, this URL doesn't, as it should do, play an MP3 file - instead it downloads a WAV file called DAT_podcast102.wav
    iTunes cannot play WAV files so your file, though it gets downloaded when subcribing, is then not playable and disappears from the library.
    Soundcloud isn't a good place to store your media files, but if you must use it you need to use http not https, and you must provide a link directly to an MP3 file. The test is that if you enter the URL in Safari's address bar the file plays in Safari, not downloads. You should also check your podcast by subscribing manually in iTunes and making sure each episode's file both downloads and plays.
    Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/denandrepodcasten - originally it was made in Blogger. It contains no 'itunes.duration' tags containing the duration of the episode - this can cause problems playing episodes in the Store even if the file is the correct type. You will need to check in Blogger where you can enter this data.

  • Why won't my Ipod Sync the music that is already downloaded?

    I have only had my ipod for about 5 months and now it's not working properly. I have already downloaded the new verison of itunes to ssee if that was the problem but still nothing. When I try to sync it, it says it's syncing. Once my ipod screen is back to normal my pc says there is an unknown error that ocurred.

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    have yo successfully synced for this computer/iTunes library before?
    on the computer are you signed into an account with administrative right?

  • Why won't old CDs play in iTunes 11.4?

    Some of my cds from the late 90s/early 2000s won't play properly in my iMac with iTunes (11.4). My iMac is about 4 years old. This just started happening recently when I upgraded to OS Mavericks. The cds will play fine then either halfway through or near the end, it will stop, start up again, then the cd starts spinning as if it's reading the cd, then it becomes a bit difficult to eject the cd. My cds are excellent, no scratches at all. They perfect in my Xbox360 and PS3.
    Does anyone know why this is, & how to fix the issue? Am I just better off getting an external hard drive?

    Another help source (if you haven't already done so). Go to your OS Help Menu.  In the search field type cd.
    Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to  your issue.
    You can also do the same in Disk Utility.  Open same up. At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle. This will bring up the Help Menu.

  • Why won't Flash videos play in Facebook?

    I can't seem to get Flash videos to play in Facebook.  I hear sound, but just get a blank black screen where I would expect to see the video. Youtube videos work fine.
    If I browse to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I see the following:
    "Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer", it shows the following under Step 1:
    Congratulations, your computer has the latest Flash Player installed.
    Start playing games, listening to music, and watching videos!
    YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
    Your Flash Version
    12.0.0.44
    Your browser name
    Internet Explorer (I'm using IE 11)
    Your Operating System (OS)
    Windows (Windows 7) (I have a 64bit OS)
    I followed Stpes 2, 3, and 4, and even see the Flash video of a swaying tree on the page under Step 5, which makes me thing Flash is correctly installed yet I'm still unable to get videos to play on Facebook. 
    Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
    - Deleted %apphost%\flash and %apphost%\macromedia folders from my system
    - Uninstall/reinstall Adobe Flash
    - Reset Internet Explorer setting to default settings, cleared browsing history, and deleted temporary internet files
    - Confirmed under "Manage Add-Ons" that "Shockwave Flash Object" is enabled
    - Ensure clean Host and LMHost files
    I'd greatly appreciate other troubleshooting suggestions anyone else can provide.  Thank you.

    The problem is... not Flash Player.... it's Ie 11.
    Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "User-Agent Strings" that websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. If a website can ID it at all, it misidentifies it as either Gecko (Firefox) or Webkit (Safari), but since the full browser engine isnt there, IE then becomes an unidentifiable visitor.
    The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Keep getting a sign stating that I must have quicktime to play my videos when I already have quicktime downloaded. So why won't the videos play?

    I downloaded the newest version of the itunes, but I had to delete the old one and quicktime. So after I downloaded the new itunes I downloaded the Quicktime 7 so I can play my videos, but I get a message stating "This movie requires Quicktime, which is installed but failed to initialize. Uninstall quicktime and reinstall it." I've done it twice. I also get a message stating "itunes.exe has been to run in compatability mode for an older version of windows. For best results, turn off combatability mode for itunes before you open it." The system that I have is XP and it's on the list of programs that it functions with.

    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Why won't my videos play once transferred to an external hard drive?

    I have a Seagate Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive.  Once I transfer a video onto it, it will no longer play.  Quicktime opens and plays the length of the video but there is no video.  The files are .MOV.  Even when I copy them back onto the desktop, they still do not work.  Suggestions?

  • Why won't iCal print all my Calendars when I can see them on the screen?

    I have eight Calendars set up in iCal. When I select 'Print' a new screen appears and, once again, I can see all eight Calendars. The word 'Print' is at the top of this screen. I press the Continue box and a second Print screen appears. This time all but two of my Calendars have disappeared (confirmed if I open in Preview). And of course it's only this version that prints. What happened between the first Print screen and the second, and how can I manage to print all my Calendars?

    Hi st louis,
    Are the tickets you downloaded from Ticketmaster PDFs? If so, have you opened them in Acrobat or Reader to print them? I haven't ever been required to enter a password to print an e-ticket from Ticketmaster, but they may have changed their policy. Did they provide you with a password when you purchased your tickets--perhaps in the confirmation email?
    Best,

    Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised
    that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the
    cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
    required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
    any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
    that would cost me more money.

    Hello ogojohn,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    The   icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.
