Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

    I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
    I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

  • Purchased videos from itunes store download/upload issues

    I purchased movie from itunes store downloaded it onto my itouch works plays is fine --but when I tried to sync or drag the movie onto my windows computer into itunes or sync it with itunes cannot get the + sign only no go.  Getting frustrated--I bought this movie actually for my wife and then cannot get it onto her itouch since it will not transfer into itunes for me to get it moved/transferred onto her itouch.  Both itouch's are authorized on this computer.  I am confused--why buy the video if you cannot work with it on your devices?  Please help!

    Did you check your trash can? Did you make a backup copy of your videos that you purchased? That is something that is always reminded to users that purchase from the itunes store...to make a backup copy to their purchased music. The idea is once you buy the music and you lose it well then its gone forever. I highly doubt you can get what you purchased from the itunes music store back again without purchasing them again. But that is weird that you had the videos and and their gone now. Have you tried searching for them on your computer harddrive? Did you do a recent hard reset to your ipod? Are you manually updating your ipod and deciding what to sync and not?

  • Transferring music from Itunes to Ipod Classic

    I have an Ipod Classic with about 4,000 songs on it. If I sync my Ipod with my Itunes on my desktop, will I lose the songs already on my Ipod? Please help, I've been trying to figure this out for a long time. Also, do I need something like Media Widget to transfer music between Ipod and my desktop?

    Instead of syncing your iPod automatically, change your settings to manually manage music on your iPod. Then just drag and drop the new music onto your iPod. That way you won't erase all of the music that is currently on your iPod.

  • Transferring album artwork from itunes to ipod

    hello,
    i just bought a new ipod classic (i previously had an ipod classic with less storage) and am using the same itunes. i am now loading music onto the new ipod and am noticing that some album artwork is being transferred, some isn't. i had previously noticed this problem with my old ipod. anyone have any idea why this is happening and if there's anything i can do to make sure ALL artwork transfers? thank you!

    If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try, switching the artwork off and on again may resolve it for you:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes (Right click on the iPod icon and choose Sync from the menu)
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    Alternatively you could try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

  • Problem syncing video from itunes to ipod

    I bought two episodes of a tv show from the itunes music store. when I plug in my ipod to update, it says that "some of the songs in the itunes music library, including the song "brian regan," were not copied to the ipod "ipod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
    I bought these two episodes last night, on this computer, and I haven't connected this ipod to any other computers. plus, these are supposed to be tv shows... why does it say songs? I don't see the point in even purchasing videos if I can't put them on my ipod.
    can anyone help?

    Try playing the TV Show straight from your iTunes library. It will probably ask you for your iTMS login information. Punch it in, and everything should work fine.

  • Previously purchased videos from iTunes now no longer play in iTunes 7.0

    Just upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and was ded impressed with the new look etc... right until I thort i'd have a peek at some music vids. From a collection of 20 or so I now only have 5 left. The rest are in the music library with their little video icon but won't play properly. It looks like the video codec is wrong but since they are virtually all iTunes purchased videos this seems a huge oversight on their part! When played i just get a flashing green and yellow screen instead of the video. Can any one help?
    Thanks in advance
    Jack

    I have a similar problem. Music videos will play, but with a framerate of about 1fps. Manually recorded clips that are in my library in order to watch them on my iPod have the same problem. Same for video-podcasts. However, I have not lost any. Also they all still play well on the iPod.
    To sum it up: Within iTunes 7 i cannot watch any videos that worked in iTunes 6.

  • Getting Video from iTunes to iPod

    I purchased an iPod for video. I've downloaded TV shows from iTunes but can't watch them on the iPod. iTunes says it can't convert the files.

    Any videos you buy from the iTunes store will work on the iPod. If you're trying to put videos on there that aren't from the iTunes store and are not in the supported format, you must convert them. You can do this by right-clicking on the video in iTunes and choosing the option to convert to iPod video.
    There are also many third-party applications that can do this as well. Search versiontracker.com for those.

  • Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

    When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
    What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
    Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
    Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

    I am having a similar problem. After years of trouble free use, my 'pod is now giving me trouble, well the new iTunes software is, anyway. See here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=255305&tstart=0
    Why can't I add my new downloaded tunes to my pod? ARRRRGH!

  • Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

    I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
    inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
    the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
    and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
    Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

    This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
    I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

  • Put purchased videos from iTunes on to a DVD with iDVD?

    So I bought some Kim Possible episodes from iTunes and I am trying to put them on a DVD. I can't figure out how, because for one thing, even if I try to put the video in iMovie first, the video cant even be used...so any ideas from anyone? And I can't figure out how to play with the movies in iDVD either, but I have played around with music and photos though...

    while getting an account in iTMS, you signed the terms of use...
    iTMS purchased videos are for watching only, no processing, no editing, no sharing to any other media (dvd, tape, ...)
    you have two options, to override that:
    * using a "screen recorder" as SnapzPro
    * connect a camcorder to your Mac's monitor outlet, re-import from tape...
