Can't put ripped DVD files onto iPod

I've ripped a couple of 1.5hr video files to MPEG4 format using Xilisoft's DVD to iPod software (very good by the way) but I can't get these files onto my iPod (I've checked them in Quicktime and they look fine).
I've tried importing into the library then manually dragging and dropping, but they just won't copy (I don't get any warning message either). Syncing doesn't work either.
Anyone got any ideas?

What exactly happnes when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Did you set up the iPod on this computer?

Can I put my DVD's onto my iPod?

I hav an iPod video and I was wondering if there's any way in which I can put my DVD's onto my iPod. I know that on the American iTunes you can download movies but this is'nt available in the UK store.
So if anyone knows of a way to do this please post
Thanks =]

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
It depends on the format of the file. I agree with Mitch re: the suggestion for QuickTimePro... go here for Apple Tutorials: Creating video for iPod.

QuickTimePro is only $29 and available from the link above.

"Can you put purchased DVD movies that you have on your ipod? "
No. breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
" what about recorded DVD's that you have? "
Add them to itunes.

Try "google" for iPod DVD converter software. I use "Handbrake" which seems to be one of the main converters for Macs, but I'm not sure if there are others.

How can I put my daughters files onto my sons Ipod

My daughter dropped her Ipod touch and the screen is now all white. I want to install her files onto another Ipod touch. How do I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What sort of files are we talking about.
Is the iPod synced with a computer and if so, does it still sync.

How can I put seperate score files onto one page in the Layout?

I have written some exercises in different keys. They are small files. Each of them are saved individually and cover only part of a page each but I want to lay them out on one single page. I can't work out how. Each file is in a different key. As a short term solution I tried to combine them into one file and then could not work out how to change the key signature. When I insert the #'s and b's the following notes don't move to the right. So that does not work the way I do it. Does someone have a solution, please?
Cheers,

Thank You, musicspirit, for your support. What you suggested I had done already, but it did not work always only sometimes. ( Like a disfunctional light switch). Maybe I missed some setting or whatever or tried too many things...or..Anyway quite a few things didn't work, I spare you the details. Meanwhile I did disk maintenance and tossed out the files and started again from scratch ( which I wanted to avoid) and everything worked out fine so far. No problems with clef change, etc.
But to make it look as if I had three songs or three separate exercises on one page I need to create a bigger space between the 3rd and 4th staves and the 6th and 7th staves. I can do this only globally, which means I manage only to increase the space between all the staves. (I hope I am not asking the wrong thing again. Manuals are not always easy for the novice.)

I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. the computer says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. how can I just get my files onto

I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
Thank you.

iPads sync to 1 computer only.
All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

Hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense.

hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

If it came with an iTunes digital download code you can redeem that, otherwise this isn't a matter that can be discussed here. See section 2.8.2 of the Terms of Use.

As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:
