Help... I cant figure out how to put videos on my ipod?

well, i got an ipod video for christmas, but i still havent been able to put any videos on it. i haven't figured out how. i've got a few videos downloaded on itunes, but when i try to drag them over to my ipod, it says "selected files ... bla, bla, bla ...these cannot be played on this ipod" or something to that extent. and i also herd that you can rip DVDs to your ipod, but i cant figure out how to do that either. can anyone help me?

ok listen. forget everything that you've tried to do so far. what you need to do first is download a program called Videora iPod Converter (my recommendation). If you have LimeWire, you can just get it off of there. And if you don't have LimeWire, I'm sorry and I don't know where to get it, but i'm assuming that you can get it off of the videora website.
ok when you get there, click convert, and after that, there should be a "transcode new video" button on the screen. click that and open the file that you want to rip. and then push start. after it says transcode complete, go to your videora ipod converter folder (which you get when you download the program) and you'll find that file in the folder. double click that file and it should open up with itunes. after its in the library just update your ipod and itll get on there!

    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • I have a ipod nano and i cant figure out how to put my itunes music on it

    i cant figure out how to sync my music to my ipod nano

    It's easy. When you added music to iTunes (buy it in iTunes or just add your own music), just connect your iPod, click on the iPod button in iTunes (it will appear), then choose music and enable syncing all your music (or just some artists, genres or playlists). Then just sync your iPod with iTunes.

  • Cant figure out how to put songs on Nano!

    Just got this nano, and im somewhat familiar with Itunes.. i JUST donwloaded the latest version, and ive made a new playlist and ive got all the songs i want on my ipod on that playlist.. i try to click update, but my ipod already says do not disconnect and the update ipod is not able to click under the file part.. what do i do? its been hooked up about 45 minutes and im only trying to add 17 songs.. please help

    I think my Itunes doesnt recognize the ipod, i havent restarted since i downloaded this software so is that a good idea to?..
    on the other hand, it might recognize the ipod because earlier it automatically downloaded the songs onto it that came with the Itunes.. then i deleted all my previous songs along with the ones that came with it.. now it w*ont let me load songs at all, and i have my playlist ready so.. please help

  • I purchased several songs, but I cant figure out how to get them on my ipod

    I am new to this....How do I get Purchased and downloaded songs onto my IPod?  

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a PC, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Then connect the iPod to your computer and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of iTunes there should be a series of tabs, including one for Music - if you select that tab you should be able to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPod.

  • I updated iTunes on my computer and now I can't figure out how to put songs on my iPod

    Before I could just hit the "On this ipod" or whatever it was button, and do the whole drag and drop thing and it was all good. But now that button is gone and I don't know what I'm supposed to do. help?!

    IUf iTunes sees the iPod:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Syncing overview
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    or
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Syncing overview
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

  • My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

    Did you erase it before you sold it?

    Or did you leave all your personal info on it and give it to someone else?

    Did you enable Siri in settings?

    If Siri is off, all you get when pressing the home button for 1 second is the old Voice Control.

    If you're running iTunes 11 and you don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Apple for some inexplicable reason elected to hide the menus by default in the Windows version of iTunes 11.
    I doubt that this will address a download problem, though. You'll need to provide more details about that; what device you're attempting the download on, the exact error message, and other such pertinent information.
    Regards.
