Can't import TV show from Itunes to 4th gen nano-running OSX 10.5 with Imac

This message has also been posted to the general use forum of the 4th gen nano forum.
Bought my daughter a 4th gen nano for Christmas. Also purchased a TV show from Itunes some time back.
This TV show has been in Itunes for months, and is on my 5th gen Ipod and plays fine, but will not import to the 4th gen nano.
Here is what I have done so far:
1.Plugged the nano into the computer, highlighted nano, clicked TV show tab, clicked the TV show we wanted to sync, then clicked the sync button.
2.I downloaded a sample movie into Itunes from the apple support site, and it won't import into the nano.
3.After researching, I downloaded and reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime both.
Nothing seems to be working.
Funny thing is, there was one music video that imported from Itunes to the nan when I first registered and set it up, and it plays fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

My 13 yr. old daughter solved this problem, and successfully imported the TV show to her Ipod.
She tells me she has no idea how she did it, she just did it.
So, although I guess my problem is solved, I'd still love to know what the answer is.

I can't load tv shows from iTunes onto my iPod touch. I can't purchase video (tv shows) on the phone, either. Anyone know anything about that?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
For details, see this Apple article:
About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
I hope this helps you,

I can not import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations.

I cannot import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations. I get this message:"Presentation couldn’t be imported. An error occurred." That's it? I am blank off at Steve. Why cannot I simply drag and drop like any other decent software can from my saved presentations on my HD to appropriate directory in iPad? I have spent countless hours preparing those presentations. OK, let me think. I am going to do them over, spent so more countless hours just to find out that I cannot import them. Funny thing is that I never seen error doing something useless like playing game. Iam steaming.
I am looking in to Samsung products; maybe this error will help me to make the right decision. They are using open source Android, nothing like this secretive bull, oh my Got someone will try to steal my billions.

Wow, because you have created presentations that obviously have an error in them and so they cannot be used by the iPad, it is Steve's fault.
Sell your iPad to someone more deserving of its magic and get a Samsung imitation. That is if you can still find one to buy. If you had jumped the HP tablets were marked down just before HP threw in the towel on them.
But if instead of being a pendejo, you want some actual help, try the Keynote forum, perhaps they can help you discover your mistakes;

I can't play downloaded shows from iTunes in QuickTime.

I've downloaded Quicktime, installed it. And it wouldn't play my shows from iTunes. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled and still wont play, keeps saying "The movie requires Quicktime, which is not included in this version of iTunes. To play this movie, install QuickTime".... :/ I have a Windows 7 Dell laptop.

Hello ifeoluwaloju,
The article below details how to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and it's related components. Doing so should help resolve this message.

I can't import tv shows from my computer to my iTunes library, why?

I've been trying to import pre-existing tv shows from my computer to iTunes but it's not working.
I select the folder to import and it does nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hello Dave,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
What format are these songs in?
To add songs to your library, either double click them from a Windows Explorer window, or choose File -> *Add File to Library*.
For more help on importing content into iTunes, see this Apple support document.

Hope this helps.

HT2729 I can's synch TV shows from itunes to ipad.

Error showing is that this computer is not authorised but it is. So i deauthorised and reauthorised but they still wont transfer. i purchased the tv shows directly from the ipad:

yes i have all of them (except PC one as i am on Mac). Thing is i can download them again from itunes, which i am currently doing, straight to my ipad and still play them on my iMac. Once downloaded i can transfer them again as Transfer Purchases but if i delete them from ipad and then synch or drag across (manually) this error occurs.
thanks again

I can't transfer tv show from itunes to ipod

I'm on automatic sync, but a tvshow i purchased won't transfer. It has next to the check/no check box. Then an alert pops up saying unable to find file. I just bought the show from from itunes store. A couple of songs came out this way too. Whats up?

I can't import any files from itunes... the click and drag isn't working...

I've tried clicking and dragging my mp3 from the desktop, from the finder, and straight from itunes, but i can't get it to be in garageband... at all...
I feel like i'm doing the same thing i was doing even just earlier today, but it isn't working anymore...

Is your mp3 maybe called .MP3? Then try to change it to lowercase.

I can't sync movies (BOUGHT from iTunes) to my iPod nano!

Any movie I buy won't sync. I have another movie from my computer that worked after i converted to mp4. Mp4s work but not m4vs
Midway the sync it stops and I get an error.
"Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I get this error at different times. The first time i attempted to put it on, it went 2 cm. The last time it went almost halfway.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Luke

I have the same problem. Movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes will not work if they are longer than 25 minutes. The guy at the 14th st Genius bar said that all is well with both computer, nano and software so "we're calling it a usb problem". Do you have an older model mac or pc?

I can't import a song from iTunes to an iPhoto slideshow.

I'm trying to import a song as background music in a slideshow, and the song plays just fine in iTunes, but when I try to add it to my slideshow, I get the message "The (name of song) could not be used because the original file could not be located." How can it play in iTunes, but not in iPhoto? I tried "Get Info" to see where the original file was kept and then dragged it into the iTunes music folder, but that didn't work. I've never had this happen with any other song. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I don't build slide shows, so not sure how hard it is to do in iDVD, but you can burn a song to CD and then rip it back into iTunes. Then you can edit the song in Garage Band. You might want to do this with a number of songs that you might use in one sitting, as it's pretty tedious.
One other thought: check if Amazon has the mp3 of the same song. The content there is not protected (I think the music producers cut that deal just to stick it to Apple) and is $0.99 per song like on iTunes. Might be worth another buck to avoid all this hassle. iTunes is easier to search and buy from (IMO) and has a better selection, but you might get lucky at Amazon. I've ended up buying the same song again at Amazon just for this reason.

Can't import edited song from iTunes to iPhoto

Hi,
I've created a slideshow in iPhoto and a playlist in iTunes to go with the slideshow. I shortened one of the songs in the playlist from 4.5 minutes to 1.5 minutes (file-get info-options). Within iTunes the song is shortened but when I import the playlist to iPhoto the song reverts back to its original length. I realise there is a workaround using iDVD (when I import the song into iDVD it stays at 1.5 minutes unlike iPhoto) but it means I have to redo the whole slideshow again which I'd prefer to avoid.
Has anyone any suggestions how to shorten a song for a slideshow within iPhoto?

HT1206 Can't see tv show from iTunes

I downloaded a tv show on my pc using iTunes. It will not display on my ipad1. Had the same problem with the music but finally found a More tab under music that turned on syncing to the iPad. Haven't found any like that for ate show. Any ideas?

Found it!!! In the purchased or download tab it kept saying all all my music was there. Then I finally noticed in the upper left corner was a tab labeled as Music. I clicked on that and got more choices, including tv shows. Once I clicked on that, my show showed up. It has taken days to figure this out. Before the iCloud, I did not have these problems, what a pain.

Can't get tv shows from itunes on my ipod

PLEASE HELP!
I have iTunes 7, and I have a lot of episodes of The Office on it. When I plug in my video ipod, only a few episodes are loaded on, not all of them. Does anybody know what I should do to get all my episodes on my ipod?

Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Change the preference to what suits you best.

Can I import a movie from a DVR and save to hard drive on computer with Premiere Elements?

Changing providers and want to salvage recordings from old DVR.
Also, If I can salvage the recordings, can I copy back to a new DVR?
I've got Premiere Elements 9 and haven't used in a long time.

Probably not... most DVR makers code to the hard drive in a proprietary format that will not work in any other DVR
You may be able to PLAY the video out to an external recording device, such as a VCR or a DVD recorder
Or, for a computer, you may be able to use a converter such as at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters
