- My iPhone is not playing videos in any kind. When the movie is about to start, I get the black screen but then I get the play button with a circle and a line in it. The 3rd party apps won't play either. Any suggestions? - I restored old videos via iTunes from my backup to my new iPhone 6. However, some of them do not play.
