My iPad stopped playing videos.

Try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep buttons till the Apple logo appears.

Go to search and type the name of one of the videos,then play it.. I found that one of my movies was the problem,so i found another video in the search, i just deleted it and now it's ok.

Im sorry if my english is not good,i hope this can help you.

Yesterday, I could watch Netflix programs on my iPad. Today, I can't seem to watch any videos--I have a PBS app and tried to do a "watch now" program. In both cases, downloading goes on for several minutes but nothing gets downloaded. I have an iPad2, 5.0.1 and use AT&T to capture the internet through a wireless router. If that makes a difference. I would have thought it was Netflix if the PBS video hadn't also displayed the same problems.

I just did the home+sleep buttons exercise, and it now takes videos. Thank you!

I had the same problem and did the reset, search for my video and all of those steps just so I can play my video. It's the default player that has problems. I downloaded a video player for free. My problem went away plus I can play videos in several formats so I don't have to convert my videos anymore

TThanks, this worked for me.
