Please HELP: Why can't iPad 4 read this file?
  • Can anyone tell me why is iTunes telling me this file cannot be read by my iPad 4? I believe if fulfills every single one of Apple's specs (except maybe audio bitrate).

    Thanks for your help!

  • Maybe you should try 44100 Hz instead of 48000

    From Apple Support:

    iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats

    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

    I might be mistaken, but the only difference I can see is audio (160 vs 192kbps).

    I suspect I might be something related to High Profile level (4.1 vs 4.2 or 4.0), or some other tecnical "detail" that I really don't know much about...

    Thanks again for answering!
