Can't move movies bought from iTunes to iPhone

I just bought one movie off of itunes and rented another. I want to put them on my iphone so that my kids can watch then on a flight. I was able to move the rental onto my iPhone no problem, but when I try to drag the movie I purchased onto my iPhone it won't drop onto the iPhone. I don't get the "+" icon showing that it can be added to the iphone. Any ideas?
Thx

I have the same problem. Movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes will not work if they are longer than 25 minutes. The guy at the 14th st Genius bar said that all is well with both computer, nano and software so "we're calling it a usb problem". Do you have an older model mac or pc?

Can I move music from iTunes to iPhone 4S wirelessly? (ios 5)

I know I could sync my apps but can I transfer my music from ripped cds to my Iphone 4S?

If you're referring to wi-fi sync with iTunes, yes you can sync music or anything else you'd normally sync using the USB cable. Your iPhone needs to have the wi-fi sync option set (via iTunes, on the device's summary page), it must be on the same network as your iTunes library, de-select the iTunes option preventing auto-sync, and iTunes needs to be up and running of course.
To manually initiate the wi-fi sync you don't need external power applied to your iPhone (unless your battery is low). If you want this sync to occur automatically there are additional requirements (external power on the iPhone, and it seems you need the option "Automatically open iTunes when this device is connected" selected).

Apps can be used with only one account. You can sync to more than one iphone from that account, but the app will not transfer to another account.

How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
Have a look at the manual:

Why can't I transfer files from Itunes to Iphone

I just updated my itunes to 10.6 and my iphone 4s to ios 5.1.1.
My problem is that none of the files I want to tranfer from Itunes to Iphones doesn't transfer.
I tried to transfer music,apps,photos but none of them was tranfered.
Can anyone please help me??

You can try to repair your library. Once you are sure the files are all taken care of, you can sync the phone to remove all of the music and then sync again to add it back. That should take care of the issue.

HT4743 Have purchased a movie on apple TV and would like to have the movie available to my ipod and computer but am unable to see it in my ipod/computer library. Movies bought from itunes via the computer can be played on both apple TV and the ipod.

Have bought a movie via apple TV and would like to have it available on my computer and ipod but it doesn't appear in the library on either. If I purchase a move from itunes via the computer it's available on both my ipod and apple TV. Can anyone help?

Simply download the content on the computer from the purchase history.

I can't sync movies (BOUGHT from iTunes) to my iPod nano!

Any movie I buy won't sync. I have another movie from my computer that worked after i converted to mp4. Mp4s work but not m4vs
Midway the sync it stops and I get an error.
"Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I get this error at different times. The first time i attempted to put it on, it went 2 cm. The last time it went almost halfway.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you,

Can't move music from iTunes store onto my poor old iPod (2004)

I have an old click wheel iPod (more than 3yrs old) and I am having trouble moving songs I purchased from iTunes store onto it. they download fine onto my PC (I Know, I know, I'm buying a MacBook soon).
I keep getting an error message saying I cannot move these songs onto my iPod as that machine is not authorised (and this is the only device I have tried so it can't be the more than 5 issue). It this because my iPod it too old?
Help, as I have wasted a lot of money on music I can only listen to on my PC

Any help here?

How can i move songs from iTunes to garageband

I followed a tutorial on Youtube that showed to click the plus sign than the music sign on the bottom right. But only a few songs came through. And why do songs not just drag over? I have used many recording systems on Windows and I am new to Mac so any help would be appreciated.

What is your GarageBand version?
You add songs to a Track by selecting them in the Media Browser pane: Open "ITunes" in the Media Browser and drag a song from this pane to an empty space in the timeline below your other tracks.
If your song is a protected audio you cannot drag it to GarageBand.
Not being able to drag directly from iTunes has been a bug in GarageBAnd '11 and iTunes. This seems to be fixed in GarageBand 10.0 on Mavericks. Maybe upgrading to newer versions will sove this for you.

Syncing movies (mp4) from iTunes to iPhones not working version 2.2

Here is what I hope is the final answer to this incredibly prevalent problem, gleaned from a few PARTIAL answers, many USELESS answers, and some trial and error on my part.
Problem:
You are getting an error message when trying to sync MP4 movies to your iPhone using iTunes. (sorry I can't repeat the error message, I can't seem to restore the warning dialog that I turned off)
Solution:
Add the desired movie to the movies area of your iTunes application (you have already done this if you are receiving this error)
From the list view, select (regular click to highlight) the desired movie.
From the "Advanced" menu (NOT from right click as has been suggested many times), select "Create iPod or iPhone version"
Now you will wait for a long time. A progress bar will show the conversion in process.
When done, you will have two copies of the movies. One in the original location, and one in your iTunes movie folder. The newly created one will sync to your iPhone.
To determine which is the new movie either
1) Add "Date modified" to your list view by right clicking on the column headings in the movies list panel,
- or -
2) Right click on either of the lines and choose "Get Info" to view the name of the folder. Delete the one which is not the newly converted one. Hopefully this will only delete it from your movie list, not from your media. That's how it worked for me. If it asks if you want to move it to the recycle bin, you may have deleted the wrong one.
After it is done, attach and select the iPhone device. Go to the video tab and scroll down to "movies". Check/uncheck the appropriate boxes for your movie(s) and hit "apply". Your movie(s) should now properly sync the phone.
You do NOT need new software (for an MP4 movie)
"Convert to iPhone" is NOT on the context menu
Itunes will lock up for part of this process

That didnt work, and there was no conversion bar. Ever since the new software update, my two iphones will not sync movies, and the older iphone will also not sync the music now. What is the point of having these?

Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
- There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
- I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
- I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
- Everything still plays in iTunes.
- If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
- I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
- I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
(I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!
