5th gen Ipod does not load video on Itunes

My 5th gen color Ipod recently began having problems when I updated Itunes software.
The video that is on my Itunes library does not transfer when synced to Ipod.
Video on Macbook plays but is not recognized by Ipod and does not load.
Any help is appreciated.

Check your settings for sync. The default for videos are that only unwatched videos get synced.

c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Frustration setting in! G4 iPod skips purchased music (tried reset, etc.)

Hi All -
I've been a Mac guy since System 7. I got the iPod knowing that it would "just work" like all things Mac. I've purchased music through iTunes because it's the right thing to do, but I'm beginning to get frustrated with a problem I'm having playing purchased music. I do not want to have to update my iPod to correct the problem everytime it occurs (I've spent a lot of time trying to fix the problem), I won't purchase a new iPod to fix it (all other functions work great), and I'm considering different sources for online music since there doesn't seem to be a problem with other sources (friends think I'm crazy for paying as it is). PLEASE HELP! Someone knows the answer. Here's your chance to prove yourself a god!
I seem to have a common problem. My G4 (20G) iPod will skip purchased (iTunes) music after the iPod turns off. When it restarts (Apple displays on the screen), all purchased music skips. The titles are displayed, but it runs through all purchased titles without playing.
I've tried the common fixes - reset the iPod, authorized and de-authorized the computer on iTunes, re-installed the library and all other methods provided in discussions and support. Since the titles are displayed and occurs only after the iPod restarts, I'm assuming that there is a problem with permissions that should have been corrected with the iPod reset or authorize/reinstall solutions. Nothing is helping. Just to state the obvious, all software is up to date.
Can some kind person provide a fix? It seems to be happening to a lot of folks, but I can't seem to find anything that helps.
Thanks!

I had the problem where my purchased songs would be skipped over when I attempted to play them on my iPod, described perfectly in article 303854 "iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Store." However, after following all the steps in that article the problem still happened, until...
I spoke with an iPod support representative who knew that in some cases the normal iPod Restore steps don't work unless the iPod is put in "Disk Mode" first. We put my iPod in Disk Mode then performed the Restore steps, and the problem went away--purchased songs played normally.
For instructions to put an iPod in disk mode, see article 93651 "Putting iPod into Disk Mode":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
So, if your purchased songs are skipped over and if the steps in article 303854 don't solve your problem, consider putting your iPod in Disk Mode first then performing the Restore steps again.
Good luck.

IPod Skipping Purchased Music Fixed!....Sort of

See my post over at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=1651307#post1651307
Hopefully this will help others. Any thoughts?

Burning all my purchased music onto CDs then reuploading it onto iTunes is not a valid fix.
I'm still having the intermittent playing problem. This problem was happening before I updated to iTunes 5 and before I installed the most recent (Sept. 6) update for iPod.
What's going on? I'm not the only one having this problem yet there seems to be no response from Apple as to how to fix it.

5th gen iPod not playing mpeg4 videos

I have a few mpeg4 videos that I wanted to add to my iPod. They play in iTunes and iTunes recognizes them as the correct format for my iPod. So, I connect my iPod and the videos uploaded themselves with the auto-update. After the update, I grabbed the iPod and went to the movies. None of them play! The screen goes black with the little white play button in the upper left hand corner for about 5 seconds. Then it goes back to the video menu. What could be wrong?

There are other posts on this topic.. Mine is doing it too.. Don't know what to do

5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

5th Gen iPod Unable To Play Purchased Videos & Music

Hi!
Sometimes it's a mistake to update the iPod just before a trip! So I found out as my 5th Gen iPod would not play any of the purchased videos or music I had on it. All of the other music on the iPod played fine and so, too, did my own iMovie videos, so I knew that nothing was really that wrong with the iPod. It just wouldn't play the purchased stuff. Yeah... that's right, the music and videos that came with DRM protection wouldn't play! If it's on my iPod, wouldn't it have been legally downloaded in the first place? Here is the set up: I changed the setting on my computer to allow it to sleep. I then had some problems so I changed it back to never sleeping. One problem was with iTunes. My iTunes would not play my purchased stuff because somehow, my computer "forgot" that it was "authorized" and gave me a message stating that I had to re-authorize the computer. I did so even though I knew that it was already authorized. But.. according to the message I got after that, I now had 1 computer authorized of my allowed five. Weird... but "okay"... I thought... "everything is working, again." But around then, I had updated my iPod and then went out of town for six days, only to find that the purchased videos and music would not play. Oh... like my iPod was not "authorized!" Okay.. This is infuriating as really this DRM restriction software ends up impacting negatively the honest people far more than any fans of the old Napster. This is a fact Apple well understands and the music industry seems oblivious of. So... despite the fact that I have legally downloaded and paid for every piece of music and video I have on the computer and iPod, I am treated like the scum of the earth by having my purchases not work on my iPod because my computer forgets it is authorized! But you know, I am a bright thing and solved my own problem. I thought resetting the iPod would solve the problem but it did not. I re-synced the iPod when I got home, after making sure the computer was still authorized, but this too failed to solve the problem. What did solve the problem was deleteing one of the TV shows and then re-dragging it on to the iPod (I have it manually managed) and syncing the iPod, again. Suddenly all of the purchased videos and music work again. We are back to happy times with the iPod again. But I must ask, who are you really hurting with this silly DRM thing, anyway?

There has got to be a better solution to this problem, which I have as well, than the ones suggested above (no offense). So I'm bumping the post and praying someone can help me out. I'm using iMovie 4.0.1 and iTunes 6.0.1.
Unforunately for all of us, there is not.

BTW-no offense taken.

I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch, I downloaded an album and 2 of the songs had music videos. I didn't like it so I deleted it. But it still shows the song and the cloud sign next to it. How can I permanently removed songs/vids? On iOS 7

5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

5th gen iPod video issues

Ok. I'm on my second iPod here. Just got this one as a gift and am having trouble loading vidoe and photos to it. I'm on a Titanium PowerBook running the latest version of OS X. My boyfriend is on a pc and also has a 5th gen iPod. I connect either iPod to his pc, and all the tabs that should be there come up in the summary in his iTunes. It says my iPod is up to date. I connect to my computer and only the Summary, Music, Podcasts and Contacts tabs show up. I'm on the latest version of iTunes as well. It does say, however, that my iPod is Windows formatted. I take my iPod to work and connect to my G5, and everything is fine there too. So what do I have to do to set up my laptop at home to be able to upload videos and photos to this iPod???? I'm not finding anything in the discussions that's hitting my particular problem....

iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Store

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

For how to sync see:

Try syncing using the manual method

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.
