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...

How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

*Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. 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.

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

IPOD 4GB can i copy music from one IPOD to the other

I have tried doing this but it comes up with your not authorised .

You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, the songs have to be transferred to iTunes first and your second iPod is updated from there. The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod

I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update.

Copy tv shows to ipod

Hi, can someone tell me if it's possible to copy tv shows directly to ipod from tv? If so, how do I do it and what will I see on the ipod. I tried connecting an av cable but nothing happened.
Thanks ever so much

Not possible. Record the show, convert it to mp4 or .mov format and upload it onto your iPod - that's as close as you'll get. Sorry.

Can't copy all songs to ipod

Recently downloaded an album and tried copying it to my ipod and only half the songs copy? I've tried removing all songs and readding them and they still won't copy. In the itunes library under my ipod its saying they're all on there but when i use my ipod out of itunes they don't show up?

So you can sync apps and other media to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes/items checked to sync?
Could you sync music from this iTunes library before?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?

Can't copy any Videos to iPod

Ok, I'm ready to send my iPod back!
This week I updated to iTunes 7 & version 1.2 on the iPod.
After the updates, I couldn't sync my library, all my files disappeared.
I tried resetting, & restoring & reinstalling iTunes 7.
Finally, last night I uninstalled iTunes 7 & intalled iTunes 6 again. Now I can copy all my music.
BUT.....My music videos show as copied, but are not on my iPod anywhere. Even the ones I purchased from iTunes.
I did not change the update on the iPod itself (still version 1.2).
Anyone have an idea why I can't get any video. The whole point of me buying an iPod was to play my videos!
Also, does anyone hnow how I can get my old iPod software back on my iPod?
Thanks.

The most important information that is needed to begin to help you solve you problem is this - What conversion software are you using and what are your source video's format before conversion? The no sound issue sounds like you are trying to convert an MPEG (Muxed file) using the ITunes converter, but this is only an assumption on my part without having an answer from you. Please fill in the missing information and lets see if we can get you filling up your IPOD with videos.

I have bought music on itunes for my ipod can i copy them to my ipod nano

How can you copy music bought on itunes for my ipod onto a new ipod nano that i have bought

Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.

Can I copy music from my iPod to my new Mac Book Pro?

Can I copy music from my old iPod to my MacBook Pro? If so, how? Jim

If the above option is too much work you may want to look into iRip which you can find information on it at http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/ there are other software out there starting from free and going up in price, but iRip has a free demo to recover 100 tracks.

How can i copy files from my ipod to the i tunes?

i just reformatted my laptop, then i installed a new itune. my problem is how can i copy all my files from ipod to the new itune. I cant sync it with the new itune or else it will be erase all my files in the ipod..what can i do ? can you pls. help me.....

Connect your iPod to your 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. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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 iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your 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 in case you have problems again. 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.

Can not copy 8GB file to ipod classic 120 GB

I am not able to copy 8GB file to ipod.
I get error message "The disk in the destination drive is full. Insert a new disk to continue."
But more than 75GB free space is available.

iPod for Windows use is formatted to the FAT32 specification.
Max. file size on a FAT32 partition is 4GB.
Is this a media file you want to play on your iPod? If so can it be split into smaller chunks? Same applies if you're using the iPod for storage/transfer although it might be better to get a small external drive that you can format in NTFS for this use.

Can't find TV Shows on Ipod

I have some tv shows on itunes but I cant find them on my ipod. They appear under "tv shows" when i look on itunes (both computer and ipod menus) but I can't locate them on my ipod. Any suggestions?

I guess we share the same problem; I can't make "TV show" menu visible in iPod. Until it is solved I am just changing properties (right click on iTunes library) from TV show to Movie (or to music video) to be able to watch TV show on iPod.

Itunes can't play recent TV Show (downloaded via itunes) without Quicktime and can't sink same show to IPod??

Problem 1:
I recently bought the HD Season Pass to Please Like Me's second season, and when I went to go watch the first (and as of this writing the only) episode, Itunes kindly informed that I needed QuickTime to watch it. Installing Quicktime has not solved this.
The QuickTime pop-up also came with a 'more info' button which according to that link, QuickTime is needed for older media (which considering this season is of the more recent variety (aka THIS MONTH) I would consider this to not be 'older'). Itunes otherwise more or less outright says that media of any variety should be able to be played just by Itunes, especially if you literally just bought it off the Itunes store.
Itunes is updated to the most recent version. I'm running on Windows 8.
Problem 2:
With the same aforementioned media, when I tried to sync it to my Ipod Touch (5th Gen, up to date), I was greeted with the lovely little message that more or less said that 'x was not synced because x cannot be played on this Ipod'. Following this I went to the iTunes store on my Ipod and downloaded it from there and lo and behold, it has downloaded with no problems.
So why is it that I had to go the more roundabout way and time consuming way to transfer the episode?

Hello bianca729
I would check to make sure you can download the show again. If you can, then delete the show and download the TV show again. If it still not working, then report the issue with the download with the other article below.

Can't copy some songs onto ipod

Some of my songs won't copy onto my ipod nano for some reason, even though I have the new version and enough space on my ipod, and the files are all fine. I can't figure out why some songs are unable to be imported...(no warning sign, I only find out when I can't find the song I want on my ipod)
The only way I can get the songs onto my ipod is to put them in a playlist and then load the playlist into my ipod. Only then are the songs imported into the ipod.
Does anyone know what the problem is, or how I can make itunes copy ALL my music into my ipod without creating a separate playlist? This only started happening recently, everything worked fine before!
Thanks!

Same problem. Some of my playlists wont import either. HELP
