Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod.  So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?  Thank you.

Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod.  If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
I hope this works.

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

    why can i send imessage texts but not sms texts ?
    When i try to send an sms text ..i get a 'not delivered' message...no error code...imessage works fine...

        Very strange, [email protected] Let's get this figured out. Make sure that SMS messages are turned on. Go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS. Please let me know if this works.

  • Why can I surf on Firefox, but not on Safari?

    Hi,
    I'm running an iBook G4 with 10.4.8 on it. My DSL internet connection is through an apartment server, requiring its own manual network configuration to work. That is the easy part...it took a week to figure out the proxies (the local staff and their command of english is Ok but not that good) and I got Firefox up and running. It has been working great for a month.
    But one thing is puzzling me, why can't Safari see that I have a functioning DSL internet connection? I am using the same manual configuration for the connection and I have made sure that every program that needs this connection can see it. This problem is, in fact, bigger than just Safari. None of my Apple programs (including Network Diagnostics), Yahoo Messenger or Google Earth can see my working internet connection. I'm perplexed! Any ideas?

    Hi, CatherineTW. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your Bluetooth device is connected during playback of these videos.  Try changing the audio source to iPhone or disconnect the Bluetooth device when playing videos.

  • Why can I connect to test but not to friends

    Sigh.
    My on going issues with iChat continues. Basically we have all but given up and for many weeks have just not bothered using our 'it just works' video chat.
    One question that keeps popping up is why can I connect to the apple test, why can my friends connect to the apple test, but why can we not connect to each other?
    More over we could all connect to each other prior to 10.4, no hardware or ISP has changed.
    I do appreciate the amount of help coming out of these boards, especially from Ralph, but the question has to be asked yet again, what are apple doing about this issue, everything was just fine with iChat in 10.3, I know I am not alone.
    Anyway if anyone can offer advice on why a ZOOM X4 router/modem or a Draytek Vigor 2600 does not work correctly or anyone is able to use these modems I would appreciate a reply. I would also like info on setting them up, even though they were just fine before.

    Ahh Draytek.....
    Possibly SIP aware and causing these problems.
    Symptoms:
    A small group of Buddies that you can connect to all the time.
    Another small group of Buddies you can connect to now and then.
    Depending on the size of your Buddy list, a larger group of non successful contacts.
    Solution
    Unbind SIP from port 5060 in the modem.

    Instructions and the pic of a Terminal window with the instructions and result s as they occur in full.
    Edit
    For the Zoom I looked at this page I can not see that this has the UPnP setting which would be easiest to set up.
    The page tells you and shows you what the set up pages look like to achieve Port Forwarding.
    Have you done this ?
    Second Edit.

    Not sure if this is exactly the same model.
    Rule 4 should be UDP in the pics lower down.

  • Why can i only recieve iMessage but not regular text messages?

    All today, my phone has not been delivering me my regular, green text messages from anyone. But my phone will deliver me my iMessages, blue texts from my friends with iPhones. A message did pop up saying that my SMS mailbox was full and that I needed to delete messages before my messages would be received, but I went through and deleted over 400 SMS messages and that usually does the trick and the undelivered messages pour in.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    My experience has been that the first step in figuring out SMS issues is to check with the cell provider and be sure nothing has changed with the account provisioning or with the provider.  Once you've eliminated this, it's time to explore issues with the device or device OS. 

  • Why can i browse most websites, but not others?

    Basically, I am trying to access few websites and when I try opening them it is constantly loading but won't open.. I could access these websites last night, but for some reason they won't load now. There is no error message, but keeps on loading. I use google chrome, but the same problem persists with Safari and Firefox. I have connection to the internet and I can access a majority of other websites at usual speed. When i leave the 'problem' websites loading for some time i can see that after 10 minutes or so the website partially opens but other parts remain blank and thus remains unusable. I cleared all my cookies, history, cache and everything. Reset my modem. Tried browsing the internet for solutions but nothing seems to work and other solutions are too technical for me to understand.
    Thanks.

    I have connection to the internet
    Assuming you mean wireless rather than through ethernet:
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • Able to view Movies, but not TV shows on iPod Touch

    The summary basically says it all, but I had a series of videos that I have synced successfully. Some were set to "Movies", and some were set to "TV Shows". I'm able to view the movies when I touch "Videos" at the bottom of the home screen, but I can't see the TV shows on that list.
    This may be a really stupid question with an easy answer, but I can't figure it out.
    PLEASE HELP! :S

    So once you transfer the files there is nothing in the video folder after the sync. This could be a encoding issue. I use TV shows from my Tivo using Tivo to Go and they are tagged as TV shows and show up after a sync with the iPod.
    Look into your encoder and the metta data set for the video files.

  • Why cant I add songs in my itunes library.  I can still add movies but not music, Why cant I add songs in my itunes library.  I can still add movies but not music

    Recently, I can no longer add songs in my itunes.  I can delete it or move the songs into playlist but adding songs doesn't work anymore.  I can still add photos and movies but not music.  Please help me solve this issue.

    I have a master iTunes file that contains all the music that I or my children have bought and then my own collection within the file. That song, 'Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You' is gone from both lists
    Nabitnak,  Not sure what kind of master file you are keeping, but the song file is probably in your backup.
    Why is that song not available on iTunes? I can get it on Amazon.
    The iTunes Store, like any retailer, does not have 100% of all existing items.  But anyway, if you can buy it on one store, it hardly matters why another store does not have it.
    The coincidence of my missing song and iTune's missing the same song is beyond suspicious.
    Maybe, although if you have a backup it should be there.
    To address the other part of your question, "I can find it on You Tube, why not iTunes?":  Youtube has content that is uploaded by users.  Music retailers such as iTunes have content that they are licensed to sell as downloads.  The two things have nothing to do with each other.

  • Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

    I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
    In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
    Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
    Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

    Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
    That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
    Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
    So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
    The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
    But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

  • Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't?

    Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't? This is unusual - I wonder if the iPod is working correctly but some setting is wrong. Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and check that your settings are "Sync Music - All songs and playlists" and not "Sync Music - Selected playlists"

  • I can download movies but no tv shows, why?

    Very vague.
    Does the itunes store in your country even sell tv shows?
    Are you simply unable to buy them?  What happens when you try?
