Erasing video downloads

i have downloaded a tv series and transfered to my ipod video.the memory on my hard drive is full.can i erase the file on my computer and still keep it on my ipod even when it updates and the video is no longer in my library.

You can, if you set your iPod to manual updating. Automatic updating will erase it.
But you know, you better make a DVD copy of it....if something happens to your iPod (lost, stolen, damaged) you will have to purchase it again if you don't have a backup.
If your PC doesn't have a DVD burner, buy an external USB hard drive or something to back it up.

  • I'm new to Mac and I have a Mac Mini. Could you please tell me how I could paste an URL to a video downloader like "Coolmuster Video Downloader for Mac"? I can copy the url but I could not paste it on the downloader. I appreciate your help to my problem.

    Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
    Yes that is correct.
    Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
    If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
    You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
    Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

  • Video downloads volume 3db lower than Music downloads

    I dont know if this is the proper area for this , but no matter what settings I play with my video downloads from the Music Store are about 3db lower than the music I download ( that is HALF as loud as the other for you non engineers) Pream settings , EQ boosting etc , doesnt do anything , either on Itunes or the IPOD . Is there ANY reson why the video sounds are of such poor quality and with no way to correct them ?
    Thanks

    Several months back, I had a similar problem.  There was a phantom 7G whenever I had the "Sync Movies" box checked in the iTunes sync configuration.  I'd uncheck the box and the 7G would go bye-bye.  Check it again and thge 7G returned.  This 7G chunk appeared on both the computer's iTunes and on the iPad.  Didn't matter that no other boxes were checked and that no movies were actually on the iPad.
    I resolved the issue with a Restore, which is easy to do but a bit time consuming.
    If you decide to go that route, connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • How can I recover an erased video on my iPhone 4s?

    i Downloaded 2 videos from my iPhone 4s and then erased them from the iPhone. Now I need to recover these erased videos. Is there some fix or program that will allow me to retrieve these files? Thanks for any assistance.

    Go into your camera roll and create an album and then select the pictures you want in the album.  Note you will have the same pics in your album and camera roll.

  • Why does you tube prevent music video downloads?

    I have figured out that music companies do not want you tube users to download videos to their hard drives or jump drives. Well, I want to. All the other videos work fine. I am using Firefox 18.0 with video download helper, and every time I download a music video, it says zero bytes. Zero byte download files, zero byte music video file. So I found the workaround to this problem to be save vid dot com, where I can enter the url to the music video I want to download and save it to my disk. Why does Firefox not allow this. Why does you tube not allow this. Money must be involved. Like I said, there must be some stupid reason why they don't want us to download their music videos. What's their problem. I just want to watch the video when I am offline, and save vid has saved me from getting angry again.
    All the other videos that do not have major sponsors download just fine, and it's sad that we have to find workarounds to stupid problems. Save vid allows you to save the you tube video without loading a spybot plugin that changes your home page and peppers you with ads, I'm glad they have it. I hope to save someone else the trouble.

    Actually, it is keep vid dot come, not save vid that i used, but both are legit websites that allow you to download videos from anywhere without a lot of hassle or unsafe plugins. Sorry about any confusion.

  • Why can I not get a video downloader?? They dissappear and or don't show up after selecting them fromthe add on page??

    I had a simple easy downloader on my fox page it left a green arrow on the bar for downloads, all I needed to do was click on it and pick the type i wanted (mp3 or flv etc) but youtube was giving me ahard time when I tryed to download more then one video, I would get all the same ones as the first one, so i tryed a different downloader it showed a video reel as it's symbol and it seemed to work but then I accedently clicked on something and it dissapeared.

    I good video downloading software that I recommend and use, is the [http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/ Freemake Video Downloader]. It is free and comes with a Firefox add-on.
    I use it to download my friends' YouTube videos.

  • Firefox updated, Video download helper no longer works, no error msg. I have uninstalled both Firefox and VDH, reinstalled, VDH still does not work, Why

    Video Download Helper does not work after most recent update. I have cleared cache and cookies, uninstalled both Firefox and the helper,that has not corrected.When Firefox does an update are the "vendors notified so they can see if their product needs changes in order to be compatible? This may sound like a stupid ?, but it makes sense tome. Telling me to download something else, in my eyes is not REALLY solving the problem.

    Don't uninstall 36. Just download and install 35 over top and you don't lose any data. I already did and everything works just fine. But I did remove VDH first.

  • Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

    I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

    Hello FRYDAE
    Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
    Thankyou for reaching us here
    About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
    And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
    Cheers!

  • How to insert paid video download on my Dreamweaver website

    Hi All,
    I would like to sell my documentary videos and other merchandise through my website.  The site has been successfully published for several years, so publishing it is not the problem.  I need to know what I must do to enable people to download something from my site, but pay for it first.  I have looked at e-commerce extensions for Dreamweaver, and am willing to go that route, but I don't understand the process of inserting a downloadable file on the site.  Is the video file just inserted like a PDF file and linked through an html link?  If I connect with PayPal and have access to their payment source, can I somehow insert my video download on my site without letting people download it for free -- they would go to PayPal and pay and then return to my site for the download? I am working on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and have Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc. and I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER -- I only work at the basic level in Dreamweaver and know enough to publish my site. Is there a better solution to this problem like another e-commer site for video downloads?  ITunes doesn't handle independent videos.  Thanks to all who reply.  Small Town Gal

    PayLoadz is a commercial solution.  They handle the digital downloads and process payments via PayPal, Google Checkout, etc... for a %.

  • The icons for the Personas Plus and Video Download Helper extensions are not displaying on a fresh install of Firefox 3.6.12

    I had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of my up-t0-date Firefox due to another problem (it would only open one window), but after reinstalling my extensions, their icons were not displaying.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but the Personas Plus fox will not display in the status bar, and the Video Download Helper icon will not display in the Navigation toolbar, and is not available in the Customize Toolbars menu.
    These extensions worked fine before. What's wrong now?

    You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ ,
    -search for and locate the add-on,
    -open the page for that add-on,
    -review the information there,
    -then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page.
    Most questions can be answered in one of those places.
    <u>'''ABP'''</u>: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.
    <u>'''NoScript'''</u>
    '''''For the toolbar''''': scroll down on the following to the paragraph in the first section beginning with "A set of toolbar buttons is also provided:" and read that section: http://noscript.net/features#basics .
