Can't load music videos to itunes

Hello, i am new on this. My husband gave me an ipod and i will like to load it with music videos and dvds that i have at home. But when i try to open it with itunes it does not let me. What can i do?

Unfortunately, the process of getting video files and DVD's onto your computer, and then onto your iPod can be a tricky one, especially for someone new. I'm quite familiar with iTunes/iPods myself, and still haven't looked much into the process of putting certain videos onto the iPod.
Some people might say: "oh its easy" "you need such and such program", but there are a lot of settings for the video files that are specific to the iPod, and not everyone knows that. Without those "extra programs" however, theres no real way to get a non-compaitable video onto your iPod, it simply HAS to be that format, and you WILL need a program for doing that. So if you want to get DVDs on your computer, youll need to get your hands dirty with some programs and some tough processes to figure out, sometimes tricky especially when some methods of doing so may or may not be very legal.
Sadly, it's not as easy as putting the DVD in, and having it appear in iTunes to save for your iPod.
What I CAN say is if you want to purchase/rent music videos/movies from the iTunes store, that is the easiest way obviously because when downloaded, they are already in a ready-to-go format for your iPod. It's the best way to do it, but of course, will cost you per purchase.

  • Can't dowload music video from iTunes

    Hoping someone can help me.
    I tried downloading a music video from iTunes. I purchased the video, it started downloading and right at the end I got the following message and iTunes just shut down.
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."
    An option to send an error report was also given.
    There is no record that I purchased the video, but yet when I tried to buy the music video again, i got a message saying that had I already purchased it, but i can't find it anywhere in iTunes or in any of my folders in my computer.
    Hope someone can help me out!

    Hmm. It should.
    Here's the main Download support page. There is a form at the bottom if nothing there helps. It may take a while to get a response. Some weeks they get absolutely swamped.

  • Why i can't load music from my iTunes library to my synced iPod touch

    Why can't I load music from itunes library to synced ipod touch

    " I have no idea what you're talking about my phone being hacked."
    I explained:  "Your iphone must be hacked as you cannot copy from finder on a legit iphone."
    "I used to be able to drag music FROM THE ITUNES LIBRARY to THE IPHONE. Now I can no longer do that"
    Again, I explained: "you would check the manually manage music box of you wanted to drag and drop."
    Do you have the manually manage music box checked?

  • My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library

    My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library
    In my iTunes library on my Macbook Air everything is OK but whenever I syncronise after an update a back up is made and then re-loaded.
    Can I delete this back up somehow and load direct from my iTunes Library ?

    Depending upon what problem that you are having with the Music app, have you tried closing the Music app via the iPad's taskbar and seeing if that helps ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't help then you can delete your music from your iPad and re-sync it back to it. A device's backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music and Videos apps, when you do a restore it gets those from your computer's iTunes library and not from within the actual backup, so deleting the backup shouldn't make any difference to that - if you want to delete the iPad's backup from your Mac then go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), and on the Devices tab select the iPad backup and click the 'Delete Backup' button.

  • How do I load music videos from my computer to my iPad when I don't have import in my iTunes

    How do I load music videos from my computer on to my iPad when I don't have "import" on my iTunes?

    Could you explain more? WHat do you mean that you do not have "import" on iTunes? Are you trying to find an import command to add the videos to your iTunes media library? It is called Add to library and is found in the iTunes File menu.
    But you can add files to the iTunes media library by just dropping the files onto the iTunes icon.

  • How can i retrieve music, videos & films i have on my itunes from an old pc that no longer works?

    I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

    The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
    Place the drive in an external enclosure.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

  • Goes back to home screen after 2 seconds of trying to load music, videos or even iTunes

    This happened awhile ago when trying to download the new Software for it (4.2), but wouldn't let me and stuck with Software 2.2.1. I put my music back on it and worked fine. Till I tried to open Music, Video or iTunes App on the iPod.
    Anyways I gave up on it and didn't care till now. I've restored it (Power+Home Button) and tried Erase All Content and Settings. Still doesn't work no matter what I do. I can't restore it from iTunes because it tries to update it and that won't work.

    Not a good error:
    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I transfer music from my iTunes to my LG Octane (VN530)?

    How can I transfer music in my iTunes account to my new LG VN530 (Octane)?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, iTunes does not support any phones or players other than Apple's own. You'll need to use the software, if any, or procedure provided by LG for loading music onto your new phone. The track files can be found in the iTunes folder in your Mac user's Home folder.
    Regards.

  • Can't load Music/photo CD's. Keeps ejecting.

    Can't load Music/photo CD's. Keeps ejecting. Can load DVD's and use them on screen. Can create music CD from Playlist, but can't replay on iMac, just ejects. Will play created music CD, OK on regular CD player. Discussed the problem Apple support via Chat and have tried resetting SMC. No joy.  Have to use a work around by taking same Music and Photo CD's to Macair and loading them, then transferring files via memory stick.
    Any ideas would be appreciated

    Alright, if you loaded music from a CD to iTunes and then connected the iPhone, you need to make sure that syncing music is selected before you sync. That, or you can select manually manage music and click and drag songs over to the iPhone. Check with the manual here http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf and see if that helps you out. Come back if you need more.
    Or, try this Apple Support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

  • Add my own music videos to iTunes

    When i add a music video or an episode of TV show to iTunes, it will always file it under the "Movies" tab. The music videos i buy on iTunes will always be filed under "Music Videos"...i have tried playing around to tag my own music videos as "music Videos" in iTunes with no success..Does anyone know what i have to do to get it to work?!!

    You can set the kind to "Movie" or "Music Video" as follows:
    In the iTunes library find the video and then Right click it / Get Info / Options tab / Video kind and choose.
    It would be nice if there were more choices but this may be enough for you.
