Can I play digital copies of movies on my iPod classic?

I recently downloaded my digital copy of a movie that came with my DVD-blu ray combo pack. The movie shows up in my library, but when I try to transfer it to my new iPod classic, it says it can't transfer it becasue it can't play on this iPod. Does this mean that all digital copies can't play on this iPod? Help!

    In most countries with a lot of movies yes you can, just like how iCloud works with apps/music

    Are they gone completely from the computer, or just no longer in the library? Check your movie media folder.
    If your'e in the USA you can download some movies a second time, but not all (studio dependent).  You should always back up all media.

  • Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

    I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies.  I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies.  Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic?  I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc.  Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

    So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud.  Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

    Do you get any error message?
    What actually happens when you open it?
    What app are you trying to play the files inside? Try iTunes.
    I assume these files have DRM from the iTunes store. The Mac needs to be authorized to play them, open iTunes & select Authorize in the store menu, then sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the files.
    Select the iTem in iTunes & get info on it (from the File menu) & you can see the account name that it belongs to.

    How can i play my avi formatted movies with the new mac OSX 10.9.2 update?

    Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

  • Why can't i put a movie on my iPod Classic?

    All of a sudden, I can't put a movie on my iPod Classic!  We've been transferring .mp4 and .mv4 movies to it and then playing them on our home TV setup for years . . . and now I keep getting the message "This movie was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod!"
    What?
    We've reformatted/restored the iPod with the latest software version a couple of times now, but to no avail.  Same message every time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think I've found the problem here and its solution:
    I use Handbrake 0.9.5 (mostly) to re-encode avi movies (and the like) for transfer to my Classic.  When I launch that application, the default translation preset is "Regular/Normal."  And therein lies the problem, for "Regular" most certainly does not work on the iPod Classic!  It does for my MacBook Pro, to be sure, but NOT for my old iPod.
    However, the moment I select "Apple/iPod" as the preferred encoding preset, a check mark immediately appears in the small "iPod 5G Support" box . . . which is NOT checked when "Regular/Normal" is the default.  Eureka!
    Now I have no problems moving movies to my Classic.  Nobody's at fault here . . . I just had to look a little closer at the available options.

  • I can´t play the songs i got on my iPod (60gig) in any itunes program?

    Hey
    I whould like some help with my iPod.
    It is as the topic says, i can´t play the songs i got on my iPod at my computer(from the iPod).
    The songs are just grey and i cant press them or anything.
    There is also a small black lock icon at the bottom of my iTunes next to the display the shows how much memory all my songs take up.
    This was working be4 i resetted my iPod to fill it with more music and hopefully to get rid of some annying freezes that occured aswell.
    Anyone got a answer to why I can´t play my songs?

    "The songs are just grey and i cant press them or anything. There is also a small black lock icon at the bottom of my iTunes"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to manual in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

    Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content?  Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

  • How can I Replace a Hard Drive on a 160gb iPod Classic?

    How can I Replace a Hard Drive on a 160gb iPod Classic? I am considering buying an iPod Classic off of eBay which is described as 'broken' and having the 'Red X' showing up on the screen. The seller is starting the bid at a very low price, which raises some concerns for me. For this thread, let us assume that the iPod has a broken hard drive that needs to be replaced in order to function properly. I am assuming that merely 'restoring' it would not suffice. How would I be able to replace the hard drive myself, without bringing it in to a store? I have never fixed an iPod's hardware before, nor a computer or any electrical device. I am a novice at such things. Would I be able to fix it myself without wasting money on a broken iPod and new hard drive? Please provide instructions on how to do so =)

    Hello there,
    Yes, the red X icon is usually a sign of a bad or damaged hard drive. Sometimes, restoring the iPod will resolve the issue, but rarely. Other users were able to smack the ipod against the side of their leg and gain back full functionality of the iPod.
    However, if no such luck with either, your next option would be to replace the drive. For this task, you can either opt to repair and replace the hard drive yourself, or opt to send it into a third party repair business to do the job for you.
    I use the guides at [www.ifixit.com|http://www.ifixit.com> to help me replace broken parts on an iPod. These guides provide excellent step-by-step instructions as well as photos on how to repair any part from an iPod.
    Some other good sites for purchasing repair parts include the following:
    [iDemiGods|http://www.idemigods.com>
    [RapidRepair|http://www.rapidrepair.com>
    [iResq|http://www.iresq.com>
    Lastly, I would also like to remind you that ebay also has several great deals on excellent iPod replacement parts. It's where I purchase a majority of mine.
    Hope this helps.
