7.1 won't copy video to my 5th gen iPod

I clicked on the "Yes" button to allow iTunes to update itself to version 7.1. My next sync it gives me a new error message I've never seen.
"Some of the songs and videos in your iTunes Library, including xxx, were not copied to the iPod (my iPod) because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Then it gives me a list of 13 files including 7 videos that played just fine before installing 7.1, and every episode of "The Show with Ze Frank" since the 7.1 upgrade. Last time I checked I still had a 5th generation iPod, and other videos play just fine.
I repaired 7.1 and got the same message. I could work around it but I hate to lose 7 videos. Maybe when 7.1.1 comes out it will start working again?
Has anybody else seen this?
Thanks!

I've seen it with the update because it won't copy purchased content without you re-authorizing your machine. I just posted a question on this actually.
Try going to:
Store > Authorize Computer
Log in with your apple store id and password and it should sync up the content.
Good luck!

  • Transfering Music/Photos/Videos from A 5th gen Ipod....

    Well I have my old 5th gen 30 gig ipod that was last used on a pc with Vista but that pc is nolonger working so i went and got a laptop with Vista I tried the old method i used to transfer from the ipod to the computer but it's not working the way it did before...
    Now I want to load the Libray from the 30 gig ipod to the itunes libray on the laptop so i can then load it to my new 80gig ipod how can i do it with out losing my stuff on the 30gig?

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Video problems with 5th Gen iPod

    I've got a bit of a problem here. I've got a 60 gb 5th gen, and I've had no problems, thus far. I've got it loaded with tv shows, movies, music, podcasts, etc, and they have always worked fine. However, within the last few days, suddenly my video folders are empty. My movies and everything are still shown to be on the iPod under iTunes, but when disconnected from the computer and browsed, all the Video folders are shown as empty.
    Has anyone experienced similar? Is there a way to fix this without losing all of those converted video files? Seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager took me like two weeks to convert!
    PC   Windows XP Pro  

    Same thing with me, i cleared my iPod and they went back on. But now it will only play my video podcasts. If it is any other type of movie file it will go to a black screen for about 10 sec then go back to the previous menu.

  • I need some help on transferring videos to my 5th-gen. iPod

    My "Tetris" game will not dowload to my iPod. There are also several South Park and Jackas episodes, and music videos that I purchased from the iTunes store that will not sync to my fifth generation iPod with video. How can I get these videos and game to download, and why aren't they? One of the common error messages that comes up is:
    iTunes could not sync [file] to [my] iPod because the file is corrupt and could not be read.
    Reposting the files on my account did not work, at least for the game. Please help me. My problem is not an issue of authorization, due to separate accounts. Please shed some light on my problem, and thanks.

    Firmware is basically the internal OS (operating system) software in which your iPod runs on.
    A "Firmware update" can be found in iTunes (if you aren't updated to the latest version of internal software for your iPod), which updates your iPod's OS (operating system).
    New firmware update versions usually do not make a noticable change on your iPod, unless the last firmware update contained a bug, where is slowed your iPod down, for example, and the new firmware is tweaked from the last version, and doesn't slow down your iPod anymore.
    Also, iTunes and your computer will call a firmware update/software the "firmware files", because a computer will read what an update contains, by how its files are... just another bit of info.
    I hope that explains it.

  • 5th Gen iPod Classic won't play video

    I've been having a problem getting my 5th gen. iPod to play video podcasts. I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 and os 10.6.4. For about a month or so now my iPod will play a couple videos and then it just stops playing them. It usually finishes playing but then goes to black screen before the next video starts. If I click the pause button the battery indicator shows up at the top and three podcast titles quickly display and then disappear, and then the screen returns to the menu. From that point it won't play any video podcasts; until I resync the iPod then it will play three of four video and quit again until it's resync'd. Even after it stops playing videos it will still play audio podcasts without interruption.
    I've tried restoring my iPod, but I get the same behavior after the restore.

    I have an 80 classic and i started getting new movies and tv shows and my ipod stoped playing movie files. The time i experienced this was May 22, 2009. I loaded the free episode of the Glee Club offered by itunes. Did you ever find out how to fix that. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

  • 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"

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • Downloading HD videos on a 2nd gen. iPod Touch?

    Hey guys!
    I'm having some difficulty downloading some newer HD videos on my 2nd gen. iPod touch (Legend of Korra episodes if you must know). Two of them aren't downloaded on, one of them I have no clue why, and the other "The Voice in the Night", cannot be played on the iPod (even though the other ones can). I'm wondering if I can change the video so I can download it onto my iPod without buying it again.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    The other episode is "The Revelation", and it just won't download for no reason (iTunes doesn't notify me that it won't either).

    Should work fine, it is a USB power adaptor.

  • 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.

  • 5th Gen iPod Video not syncing all video podcasts

    My 5th Gen iPod video is not syncing all of my video podcasts.
    I did specify in the settings to sync all videos, but for some reason it only places 3 of each on the iPod. This is using the latest version of iTunes, OS X 10.4.8, and iPod up-to-date.
    This did work fine with the previous version of iTunes and only seemed to happen since the "upgrade".
    I've tried restoring the ipod - didn't work
    Reinstalled iTunes - didn't work
    Rebooted system - didn't work
    Undocked/Redocked iPod - didn't work
    Please Help.

    Assuming you're running iTunes 7, connect the iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes source list. When it does, click on it, and click on the 'podcast' tab. Make sure it is set to sync all podcasts. Check the 'video' tab as well.
    iTunes 7 included several new options for setting just how the iPod will update in iTunes. So, it's a good idea to go through them and make sure they're set exactly how you'd like them to be.
    Hope this helps

  • 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 went in iMessage to save videos that were sent to me in my camera roll. The videos do not appear in my camera roll but my memory keeps on going down. I do not know how to solve the problem. I do not want to restore my iPod but I want to get my memory back. Please Help ME

    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.
    To restore from backup see:

  • 640x480 video on a 5th gen ?

    Hi all,
    I tried to import a 640x480 video clip on to my one year old 60gb 5th gen ipod and was told that my ipod cannot accept that video file. I used H.264 for compression. Can the older video ipods play 640x480 or is it only the new one annouced last week?

    Yes it works on a 5th gen.
    But (like for new iPods) not any H264 640*480 video will work.
    H264 for iPods has to be baseline profile (and even baseline, low complexity according to iPod specs) which means several features of H264's main profile (used for Apple's HD trailers, DVD HD or blue-ray movies) are disabled.
    That is necessary for the iPod's chip to be able to decode the video, and for battery life to remain sufficient.
    If you have the latest iTunes (7.0) and Quicktime Pro (7.1.3, at least on the Mac), you can create 640*480 that is totally iPod compatible :
    -export to iPod in Quicktime Player (requires Quicktime Pro)
    - or import your .mov, .mp4 or .m4v to iTunes, select it in iTunes and choose "convert selection for iPod" in the Advanced Menu
    You're done.
    I have a 5thG 60GB iPod, and it works.
