Can't drag movies into my nano from itunes

I have a Nano 5th gen and when i connect it to itunes and try to sync movies i get a message saying that the movie can not be played on my ipod. can anybody help?

Hello RP 24,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Were these videos purchased from the iTunes store or imported from your own collection?
If they were imported to your iTunes library, trying using iTunes built in converter to convert the iPod to a more iPod friendly format. To do this, locate the video you wish to sync to your iPod, right->click on it and choose "create iPod or iPhone version" from the shortcut menu (or via the Advanced drop down menu). When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod and see if that helps.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I load movies into my ipad from itunes?

    I'm trying to load movies onto my ipad from itunes, I've already synced my ipad with all the current songs and the movies, but I go to videos on my ipad and do not see it.  So I go to itunes, hit movies and still see nothing but movies for purchase only.  I'm going on a trip on Wednesday and would love to sync all my mp4 movies into my ipad but can't find them on my ipad, can anyone give me some advice?  I've been searching the forums, but nothing seems to work for me.  Appreciate it guys.

    I wouldn't bother with Wondershare. While iSkySoft has some excellent products (e.g. FreeSync), their video converters are generally (sometimes far) slower than HandBrake (check out the benchmarks at http://www.macworld.com/article/1150757/dvdripping_roundup.html and http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps if you want to see some figures). And vastly overpriced, while HandBrake is free and so is its batch companion. Finally, it's really a one-second drag-and-drop to drop the files it creates into iTunes.

  • The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

    The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...

  • Can't drag songs into new folders in itunes

    That's what Help says to do, but it do3sn't happen. Latest iTunes, 10.8

    "when I try to go directly to the new ipod's playlist, everything's greyed out. It's there, but greyed out"
    Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to access the iPod directly, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos. If you want to manage it manually then connect your iPod and click on the iPod icon in the iTunes source list to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. In the Summary tab check the box "manually manage music and videos" and click Apply:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can't drag movies into iPod from iTunes

    Hi,
    I had a problem a while back importing movies that I had compressed (using Handbrake) into iTunes. Once I updated/reinstalled the iPod software it was fine.
    Last night I did the same with a couple of episodes of 24- both imported and will play in iTunes but only one can be transferred to my iPod. It says that "This movie cannot be played on an iPod" but the formats of the 2 shows were identical.
    This is obviously for my own use so I'm hoping I'm doing nothing illegal.
    Any ideas?

    Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
    Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
    I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

  • Can't drag movies into iTunes v8

    or should I rather say, I can drag 'em, but the do not land there.
    When dragging a .avi-movie in Vista, the thumbnail is shown, but the LIBRARY tab does not highlight, when dragging the movie over it (as it is, when dragging an MP3 there) Dropping the file subsequently does nothing. The iPod manual says iTunes supports all files supported in Quicktime, and the file in question plays fine in Quicktime...
    Any idea would be appreciated.

  • Can not transfer Movies or TV Shows from iTunes to Apple TV any more

    Hi,
    I've been having syncing problems lately, but this latest one I can't solve. My iMac is running 10.6.3 with iTunes 9.1.1 (11). When I sync between the Mac and the Apple TV, everything (music, photos, podcasts, playlists) gets copied except movies and TV shows I've purchased through iTunes.
    I've tried automatic sync, custom sync with the movies and TV shows selected. I've tried 'Transfer Purchases', but all I ever get is the "Syncing Apple TV" message with the 'busy' bar, and no actual progress.
    Can anyone suggest anything else I can try? I've been through the solutions in this forum already, and nothing has worked

  • Can't locate movie purchase after downloading from itunes

    I just went to my purchases on itunes to re-download a movie I purchased a couple years ago. It downloaded and then I went to watch it and it played the next movie in my itunes. There is a description for the movie in my itunes but the poster art is gone and it says it can't locate. What do I do? I bought but can't watch it!

    I can't find a movie I downloaded and iTunes wants me to purchase it again.

    As long as the Movies are on the device already you can watch them without a wi-fi or cellular network.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists or move in playlists easily

    I have upgraded to Lion and the latest iTunes and now I am finding it VERY hard to move tracks in the program. For example, dragging a track from the library into an existing playlist is **** near impossible. And when I FINALLY get it in there it is ABSOLUTELY near impossible to move it’s position up or down on the playlist. What gives? Any ideas?

    Before anyone suggests the following I have tried this already:
    •restarted itunes
    •restarted mac
    •made sure shuffle is turned off
    •made sure the playlist order is selected
    Also, it is NOT a smart playlist. I know you can’t drag tracks into smart playlists.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?
