Can't find my movies on my iPod Classic 80GB

I downloaded some free comedy podcasts that are in movie format. At first they wouldn't copy to my iPod Classic 80GB. I then figured out that I needed to create a new version using the menu option in iTunes. I did that and sucessfully copied the 8 podcasts to my iPod. With my iPod connected to my computer, I can see the "Movies" category on my iPod and the 8 podcast videos that I placed there. However, when I disconnect my iPod and search for them, I cannot find them on the iPod. There is no "Movie" category on my iPod and looking for each one via the "search" feature comes up with no results. What gives?
If it matters, I'm using a MacBook running 10.6.8 and using iTunes v. 11.0.1
Thanks in advance for any ideas/help you can provide.

Ah! But iTunes and iPods have so many options, it's sometimes difficult to know them all.
I just happen to know that one.
and that's what this forum is for!

Cant find the movie in my ipod classic 80gb.

First i could not import the movie to itunes, but i changed the name to something shorter and then it came in to Itunes. And now i cant find it in my ipod. the movie is .Mp4 och it a H.264 codec (i dont know what that h.264 means...). But i have a other movie thats .mp4 and h.264 too, and that movie is in my ipod. why??

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. In the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. Do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.

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?

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?
B-rock

How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

Hi there
I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB. I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across. Please could anyone tell me how to do this? On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here. I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
Also, please could someone explain syncing to me? I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
Thank you in advance.

Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop. I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id. I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it.

Why can't I put movies on my iPod Classic

I have the current generation of iPod classic and I want to put the Godfather trilogy that I have recently purchased from the itunes store onto the ipod, but everytime I do it tells me that I am not authorized to play them on this computer. I have deauthorized and reauthorized this computer with the account that I used to purchase the movies and still it will not let me put them on my classic. The ipod and itunes are completely up to date. Please help me if anyone can. thank you.

The files are fine because I can watch them on my computer without difficulties. I just don't understand why they wouldn't be compatible on the ipod classic if I purchased them from the iTunes Store with the same apple ID that is used across all my devices, which are all authorized to play my iTunes media. I mean the error that comes up is saying that my computer is not authorized to play them, even though I just watched one of them yesterday.
So confusing...

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.

Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases

Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):

HT1657 Where can I find the movie I rented?

Where can I find the movie I rented?I already rented but I cant watch it

If you rented and downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies part of your library - is there a Rentals tab in Movies ?
If on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then it should be in the Videos app. If you can't find it in there, nor via the device's spotlight search screen, then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

HT204370 I rented a movie from the Itunes store and started watching it, but my computer jammed part way through, and now i can't find the movie to continue playing it, where can i find it?

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

HT1657 I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19134562#19134562
Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

HT204370 I have changed my internal hard drive on my macbook pro. I have put old hard drive into a capsule and have this plugged into my laptop. I can't find the movies on my old hard drive now? Any idea how I can move them to iTunes again? cloud taking H

I have just changed my internal Hard drive on my MacBook pro. I had recently downloaded some movies on iTunes which I want to put into my iTunes library on my new internal hard drive. I have put my old internal hard drive into an external capsule but when I open the icon of the hard drive from the desktop I can't find my movies.
At the moment I have the new movies downloading again from the cloud but it is literally taking hours for even one movie to load.
When I changed the internal hard drive I restored my info from my old external hard drive which hadn't been backed up in a month and hence does not have my latest movies...
I am concerned that I might go over my internet usage limit (flatmate is refusing to change to unlimited package!!!!) by downloading all the movies again from the cloud never mind how long it is taking...
Is there any way to restore all my info and media from the old internal Hard drive in the capsule as well as from the external hard drive?

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

Hi,
Here is help for the operating system:
If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
Hope this helped.
