Itunes Music Videos n IPAD 3

I have purchased several music videos on Itunes and they will not play on my IPAD 3.

Please...can someone tell me how to get these videos to play?

They play on my Itouch just as they are supposed to do.

When I try to play them on my IPAD the audio plays but there is no accompanying video!!!

I click music....playlists...music videos and then select any video and I get nothing but audio...frustrating!

Please help me figure this out!

I found that there is a native Video app on the IPAD 3 that I must use to play my Itunes videos.

They cannot be played by clicking the orange music button and then going to your video playlist.

Yes - the music player on the iPad is only for audio - videos are all played through the video app - irrespective of what classificatino they are - i.e Music vids, TV shows Movies...

Something I got caught out with after the upgrade to iOS5, originally, as it used to operate similarly to the iPod/iPhone software previously.

Right. Before, you could use the Music app to playback music videos. Well, actually, the Music app wouldn't actually play the videos back but rather defer to the Video app for playback. iOS 5 for the iPad changed that as you can now only use the Video app to playback videos (that or a third party app, either way you can't use the Music app).
