Can't drag MPEG-4 Video from itunes to 5G ipod

I have an MP4 movie that plays fine in itunes, but when I try to drag to ipod, I get the circle with line through it. I have no problem dragging music. Ipod is set to manually update music and videos.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

Greetings!
I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

Why can't I drag and drop songs from iTunes to ipod

Hi there ASA101,
You may want to verify that you have "Manually Manage Music" enabled in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Can't Drag and Drop Video on iTunes iPod icon

I have successfully converted 10 of my favorite movies to iPod compatible formats. I have created playlists for my movies and already transferred them to my iPod. They all work great.
Because 10 convert movies takes up some space on my Mac hard drive, I would like to only keep the movies on my iPod and not my computer.
I was told that you can "drag and drop" movies from your iTunes library onto the iPod icon in iTunes. Every time I try and do this, the iPod won't accept a drop.
Is there a setting that is needed on the iPod preferences? Is there an easier way for me to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

If you only want to keep the movies on the ipod and not the computer then you are going to have to change the settings on the ipod through itunes. Instead of it automatically updating the ipod you are going to have to do it manually. Then you'll be able to drag and drop the videos onto ipod icon as well as delete them from your hd. Only downside is that if you put new music on your computer you will need to do the drag and drop thing for them too.

Can't drag and drop song from iTunes to playlist on iPod Nano.

I downloaded iTunes to my new laptop. Authorized the laptop. Purchased a new song, but Itunes won't allow me to drag and drop the song to one of my established playlists on my iPod Nano. I keep getting the red circle with a line running through it. Did I miss a step along the way?
This is getting really frustrating! Thanks to anyone who can help me!

I can't drag and drop songs from iTunes to SD card anymore. Just me?

I used to be able to drag songs directly from a playlist or from my library to a SD card. This doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. I can copy them from the finder no problem, but I used to select all on a playlist and copy all songs at one. Any help?

The trick is to plug the SD card into ur PC directly with an SD card adapter. I know from exp that this works on PC, not sure about macs. For some reason when the SD card is in the the phone it has some type of block on it depending on where your bringing the music from. Also make sure that you don't have the adaptor in the lock position. I think the switch(if it has one it will be on top right corner) has to be in the UP position.

I can't download music or videos from itunes onto my iPad mini

Both. Music and videos purchased on iTunes try to download and the stop with message saying download error tap to retry.
I have retried 100 times for both music and videos and it doesn't work.
Can anybody help?

I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening. P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

How can I get my music back from iTunes to my iPod Touch?

I just recently purchased an IMac. My music was all on my hard drive on my old computer. I went to sync some new music onto my Ipod Touch and Itunes deleted all my old music off of my Ipod Touch. My new music synced fine but I lost over 500 songs! I know....I should have tranferred them before I got rid of my old computer but since they were already on my Ipod Touch, I never dreamed that Itunes would delete them! Anyway to get them back?

If you have your hard drive from your old computer you can transfer it...
...but anotherway I don't know, not a genius on computers hehe.

HT201272 Why can't I download my music from iTunes onto my ipod?

I got a new laptop computer, downloaded iTunes on it and retrieved my music from my old computer into this iTunes. However, now I cannot download new music or any music for that matter onto my iPod nano. I can sync music from my iPod to my computer but not the other way around. Even re-registered my iPod again, but this does not seem to matter. What am I doing wrong? Never had this problem before. My computer has Windows 8 if that makes a difference.

The people who answer here are just users like yourself, and how long it takes depends on who is around and happens to see your post. You can't expect an immediate answer, though you might be lucky and get a quick one - but it might take some hours or even a day or so.
However, you've posted in the forum for Producing Podcasts - heaven knows why - which is not in any way related to your question, and so which reduces the likelihood of anyone who knows the answer seeing your question. I've asked the Hosts to move your posts to the iPad forum.

Can't get purchased tv shows from itunes to my ipod.

I have bought tv shows through itunes store. When I sync my ipod they do not transfer. I have a 80 gb classic ipod.

Not understanding, when i go to my tv shows tab, it brings up the ones that i have purchased, not sure where i go to change the sync settings... thanks!
Connect your iPod to iTunes. The display should change to show the Summary tab for the iPod. On the TV Shows tab there is a section that reads Sync all/X most recent/all unwatched/ etc... episodes of all/selected TV Shows/playlists. Make your choices here...
