Unable to view Apple WWDC 2010 keynote address on ipad

[Fotonutz]

Hi, does anyone have problems watching the WWDC on their iPads?

I keep getting this icon that prevents me from watching the video on my iPad. Initially, I thought it was a region setting that prevents me from watching, but when I used my iMac 24" to view the videos, I had no problems.

Incidentally, I'm linked to the WWDC address from Apple's homepage. Had problems with the keynote, but not the other two videos on the iPhone.

It says you can watch the video on demand exclusively here in Quicktime and MPEG4. Thought the iPad supports MPEG4?

No problem here viewing the keynote on my iPad.

Mine works also, both from the iTunes podcast and the from that link.

Hmmm.....strange!

Anyone from other countries face this problem?

Tried again and still cannot view the video.

 

[Dr.Gee]

I couldn't watch it

I have that problem occasionally on both the iPad and iPhone, sometimes when I refresh it then I can few it, sometimes not.

 

[Fotonutz]

Thank god it's not only me.......

Thought I screwed up some firmware or something.
Well, I tried again just now and still no luck.

Wonder what's the issue with the video. Codec problems or incompatible encoding ?

Plays fine on mine. Are you using Safari or different browser?

 

[shiyunhe]

I am fine as well.

Seems to work for me.

I'm curious. Are you using exactly this link:

Apple - QuickTime - WWDC 2010 Keynote Address

Because if you open it on an iPad, it starts immediately. If you open it on a PC, I get a choice of several resolutions/options.

Maybe you've got a link to one of the versions that won't play on the iPad.

That's strange. I have no problems viewing mine.

Hi Wot-Fan,
I'm using the default Safari Browser.


Hi Numblock,
I tried using your link and I got a cross right across the play button also and it can't play.


Hi Izzy
Are you able to click on Numblock's link and see if you can play? If yes, that would mean that there could be a regional issue. Will prob highlight this to Apple.

 

[NumbLock]

Hm, strange. So we know it works in North America and Switzerland.

 

[leey]

it's works fine for me.
