Can't sync movies from camera

The movie was taken by Canon SD 780 IS. An error message appears: " iPad doesn't support this movie format' and refuses to sync. But on Apple website it says supporting the '.mov' format which used by Canon.

mov is just a container format, and may use any one of several different video and audio codecs. The SD780, from what I read in Canon's specs, uses H.264 for the video which the iPad can support, but uses PCM encoding for the audio which the iPad cannot; the iPad only supports AAC audio compression when used with H.264 or MPEG-4 video. So it appears to be the audio track that's the problem. You'll probably need to convert the movie to use AAC for the audio before it will play on the iPad. You can see the supported audio and video formats here:

Can't sync movie from iPhone to without losing all my songs

I recently bought a 1GB movie directly to my iPhone and I want to back it up on my computer. I have "manage movies and songs manually" checked on the summary page, but when I try to drag the movie over it doesn't take. When I click the sync movies option I get a warning that I'm going to lose all my songs, which I don't want to do. Can someone tell me how to get this huge file off my phone so I can use that space for other files and purchases?

have you tried this ?
connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

You can use iPhoto to download all your files from you camera into the iPhoto Library. iPhoto can handle both the images and video from your camera. Then you can set up Aperture to share import images from iPhoto leaving them in the iPhoto Library.

Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

I am having a weird problem with my phone every since it was updated this last time. I can sync movies from my computer to my iphone but any movies I buy with my phone I can not sync to the computer. But I redownload it to the computer and can then sync.

I for the first time since buying my iphone and ipods for almost three years am concedering getting rid of them as I am getting tired of this problem. I can sync anything from my computer to the iphone. I can not sync movies bought on the iphone to my computer. I have tried everything and spent days trying to trouble shoot. I literally have bought hundreds of movies off Itunes but will not buy any thing else until I can figure this problem out. I have uninstalled Itunes reinstalled, troubles shooted using the itunes trouble shooter and reset my phone and nothing works.
When I try to sync from my phone to the computer it says it can not be done because the iphone is not hooked up to the computer. I have only had these problesm since the new update not before. I have bought new cables twice to see if it helped and has not. Both my kids have Ipods, I have a Iphone and was planning on buying two Ipads for the kids for Christmas but not if I can fix this.

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Date sync: how can I sync dates from 2 cameras

hi
how can I sync dates from 2 cameras. From a wedding, my camera had the correct date, the borrowed one was about 11hrs out but not exactly. I want to change all the pics from the 2nd camera to sync with the first. I've already imported.
Many thanks

Use "Metadata→Adjust date and time".
Instructions in the User Manual here. Not that the change is an offset to the time-stamp listed in the EXIF.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I upload movies from Sony pj580v camcorder to use with imovie 11?

Transfer it to your computer and import into iTunes, make sure it's in a compatible format. Then simply sync with the iPad. If you have a camera connection kit and you know the footage is compatible you can connect it directly.

how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

Is this a rental or a purchase?
Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Transfer movies from camera roll to macbook pro

How do I transfer a movie from camera roll in iPad 3 to Macbook Pro. It doesn't seem to show up in iTunes.

You don't use iTunes to import photos and vidoes.
When the iPad is connected to the Mac - launch iPhoto. The iPad should show up on the left side under the devices heading. Click on it, you can import the videos from the camera roll using iPhoto.

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
OK here is my senario:
Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
This is what I did thinking it should work...
1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

TS3988 How can I sync photos from my Iphone5 to my Ipad Mini??? Thanks!

How can I sync phots from my Iphone5 to my Ipad Mini?? Thank you!

Sign into the same iCloud account on both devices in Settings>iCloud and turn on photo stream. After that new photos added to camera roll on either device will be added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it's connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
If you want to stream older photos from your phone to your iPad Mini, add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.
