Can't Add TV Shows to iPod Classic

Recently, I downloaded from the iTunes store a couple TV shows. One was a King & Maxwell episode titled “Wild Card” that I missed a few weeks ago on TNT. The other was the pilot episode of Sleepy Hallow that aired on FOX this past monday.
While attempting to put those two shows on my iPod Classic, I got an error message that said “Wild Card was not copied to the iPod, Dad’s iPod, because it cannot be played on this iPod.” Same with the Sleepy Hallow Pilot.
Why is this. In the past I put shows on my iPod with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does any error message pop up?
I've been there before, but the TV Shows didn't sync because of the resolution of the file (iPod supports 640 by 480 pixels).
There's a built-in converter in iTunes. Highlight the items you want to sync go to the Advanced tab and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". This will create files that should work with your iPod...
If you try this, please report your results... some people (including me) are having problems with the process.
I hope it helps.

  • I can't add playlists to my iPod classic

    I Have been having issues with my 120gb iPod Classic shutting down mid play. The local Apple store suggesting resetting it To factory rest. I have done this and managed to get most of the 110gb of music back on. However, it now won't add a playlist through iTunes. I can add using 'on the go' via the iPod itself. I have also checked the lead/computer/iTunes by connecting another iPod (touch) which will allow me to create playlists.
    any ideas?

    lo mejor seria restaurar tu ipod, si no podes, hacelo desde miPc, le das formatear, apenas lo conectas te vas a miPc y le das formatear, el ipod sheffle es de lo peor, es de juguete

  • Can't copy TV show to iPod

    I bought a TV show from iTunes Store, but I can't transfer it to my iPod Classic. I get the message "The iPod ****'s IPOD is currently linked to another iTues library on the computer *****-PC. In order to copy the TV show ******** to this iPod, you must link this iPod to with this iTunes library. Doing this will remove 14 videos from this iPod."
    As far as I can tell, I am linked to the library. I can copy music and podcasts without any problem. After this problem started I purchased a song and was able to copy that.
    Any suggestions...?

    FIgured it out: the file was in HD format and the iPod Classic cannot play HD files. Downloading the SD version now...

  • HT1420 Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought from iTunes?

    Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought on iTunes?

    Yes. Import it into the iTunes library, convert it if needed, and sync the iPod with that iTunes library.
    iTunes will not import or convert protected WMA or WMV content.

  • Which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    Physically, the small capacity hardisk (60,80) are thicker at 8mm,
    while the 120gb is thinner at 5mm,
    there are some thin hardrive 30 GB (MK3006GAL), 60GB (MK6015GAL) and 80GB (MK8022GAA).
    The firmware 2.0 should be able to handle upto 160GB.hardrive.
    However the difficulty, is opening the iPod case, and getting the thin hardrive or else your iPod case wont close, better stick to 120GB.

    how can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    Doesn't it have to be a firewire drive (which the Classic isn't)?
    And in any event, using your iPod in a way it was not intended will severely shorten the life of it. The iPod hard drive wasn't meant to be a full-time operating system drive.

  • Can I get radio on my iPod classic? If so how do I do it? I play it from iTunes but don't knwo how to load it to my iPod.

    Can I get radio on my iPod Classic. It is 80GB. I play iTunes radio and really like some of the stations but can't figure out how to get it on my iPod.

    Alas, the Classic doesn't support radio. The basic classic can only play stored audio files. iTunes plays radio by streaming it over the network.

  • Can you purchase iMatch for an iPod classic?

    Can you purchase iMatch for and iPod Classic? It doesn't make that clear when reading the advertisement for the service.
    Thanks for your help!

    The iTunes Match service is attached to your iTunes library, not the device itself. Hopefully the tracks on your device are also all in your library, and the backup of it, however iTunes Match might still be an additional backup and remote access service if it suits your needs. It has more use to owners of iOS devices who can download any of their matched tracks from iCloud to their device on demand.

  • I purchased a Pink/Funhouse dvd, can I download this on my ipod classic?

    I purchased a Pink/Funhouse Dvd, Can I Download it on my Ipod Classic ?

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the problem continues, try removing the movies from the iPod and then resyncing them back over to it.
    And lastly, restore the iPod to factor settings.

  • I used to be able to add artwork to my iPod Classic until I updated iTunes. Now, even when I put a new song on it - no artwork.

    I was able to add artwork to my iPod Classic - after updating I don't get any on iPod.

    For some reason the music is not actually on the iPod. When you play it, you are really streaming it via wifi and that is why it is asking for a wifi PW.
    Therefore, make sure that the music if fully downloaded on the iPod before you want to play it away from an internet connection.

  • How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

    How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

    load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod.  Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
    Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.
