Can't sync movie to my iPod touch

I got a copy of the Hunger Games and put it on my iTunes account but when I try to sync it I get this message "The Hunger Games" was not copied to the iPod "iDevices iPod" because you are not authorized for it on this computer. How do I get "authorized"? I am an administrator on my girlfriends laptop which I share with her, so this isn't making sense.

How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch. I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem. Can anyone help?

thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu. Do you have any other suggestions?

I have updated my Apple ID and password, but am now getting a message that iCloud can't sync. On my iPod Touch, it still is showing up as my old Apple ID/email address.

Thanks! I found an earlier post making reference to deleting the account and then signing back in with the new info -- basically the same idea. Thanks for your help!

ITunes stopped syncing movies on my iPod Touch

This one is driving me crazy today.
iPod Touch - latest generation. iOS 8.1.
iMac 27 - Yosemite 10.10. All updates current.
iTunes 12.0.1.26
For a few years now, I've had home videos of my granddaughter on my iPod Touch. About a dozen of them.
Today iTunes stopped syncing those. On the iPod I see some of the icons, but if I try playing the movies, there's nothing there.
Looked at the movies on my iPod Touch through iTunes ... all the movies have a grey, dotted circle on the left of the movie name in iTunes.
I've turned the iPod off, restarted the iMac a few times ... same result. iTunes goes through the sync cycle, no error messages, and then the same result - no movies on my iPod Touch.
I launched Console to see if any errors were reported there - cleared the list, ran the sync - no error messages relating to iTunes appeared in Console. (Many other suspicious entries in Console - mdworker errors etc etc but nothing about iTunes).
What on earth is going on? Any ideas/suggestions on how I can get my movies back on my iPod Touch?
Thanks

there are quite a few different free programs you could use to convert.. and yes if you convert it to mp4 and added it to your itunes it should sync fine.. here is a good read on ripping/conversion for the ipod.

Can not watch movie downloaded to Ipod touch from Itunes

Hi,
I am very frustrated; have talked to Apple 3 times now. I have purchased movies from Itunes and synced them to my Ipod. When I look at the movie photo in the display it reads "Invalid" and when I tap the movie picture the message says Movie can not be viewed. I loaded a SD movie. I have the updated Itunes 9 and I recently installed Itunes again. Can anyone help me??? I purchased the unit in July of 09 (16G). I have "Erased all content and settings" hoping that would help. I am able to purchase and sync Apps and music from Itunes to the unit but can not do movies. I am not able to play the purchased movie on my computer either...just a blank, black screen. Can anyone help? thanks,

i've had to download an App called 'air play it' just to listen to my mp3s while im in the living room because i can't send mp3s to my iPod Touch.
'air play it' only acts as a streamer though so i can't copy songs from my Mac to the iPod Touch.
thanks

Can't sync any apps to iPod Touch? (ver. 2.1.1)

Hi there, can any one tell me why can't I sync apps to my iPod Touch 2 Gen? My firmware ver. is 2.1.1. Thanks

I'm in a similar boat.
I should have 4 apps installed on my iPod Touch 1st generation (version 2.1), although only 3 appear right now -- I'll get to that in a moment.
My real problem is that the apps do not show up in iTunes. They are not listed in the Applications section nor do they show up on the Applications tab when the iPod is selected. When I connect, the title window indicates that Remote, Koi Pond, and Google Earth are being backed up, but they do not appear anywhere else in iTunes. Music I purchase on the iPod does get transferred to iTunes and appears in the library and in the "Purchased on iPod" list, so the basics seem to be working.
The reason one app is missing has to do with app updates. I obtained the Simplify Media (SM) app while it was free, and there were several updates after that. Trying to download the updates either failed or caused SM to appear a second time. The only solution seemed to be to delete it and then "buy" and download the updated version. That worked acceptably well until somewhere along the line the apps stopped appearing in iTunes. Now SM is no longer free, so my previous purchase seems to have been lost
Does anyone have an idea how to get the apps to become visible in iTunes again?
If I "repurchase" Simplify Media, will the app store realize I previously "purchased" it and let me simply download it again at no additional cost?

Syncing movies into my ipod touch

I have converted a movie file into mpeg4 format and uploaded into itunes,but on syncing my ipod touch via itunes, the movie file doesnt show on my ipod touch. Can you help me identify the problem? This has been happening to me quite often while uploading videos.

I have never seen size as an issue as long as you have enough space on the ipod touch for the file.
It's not an issue IF you convert it to iPod image size with iTunes.
For example, the touch can NOT play HD image size content.

How do I sync movies from one iPod touch to another

I'm trying to sync it to my brother's account

You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another, the songs have to be in iTunes and you update your second iPod from there. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!

I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!

Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music?

I can't sync music onto my iPod touch after restoring

I have just restored and updated my iPod touch and now my music won't sync onto it. The music is still in my iTunes library and the "Sync music" box is ticked but the music will not sync onto my iPod.
My apps are no longer in my iTunes library to sync onto my iPod. My photos are still on the device and the wifi settings are still the same.
I have tried restoring and syncing my iPod touch again a few times and I get error message -54.
Please help me :-(

I can't find an iTunes error -54 anywhere, even from Google.
I would try:
Placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring. The iPod will be erased by recovery mode.
Place in DFU mode and then restore.

New version of iTunes can't sync or see my iPod Touch

I have been using my iPod Touch with iTunes for a few years (PC Windows) then I updated my computer and got the latest version of iTunes. Now, I can't add or delete songs to my iPod Touch. When I try to sync the iPod Touch, songs I've added to the iTunes library don't get added to the iPod Touch. Similar problem with trying to delete songs. I can't even seem to delete them from the I created a new Apple ID and authorised my new computer. My iPod Touch however doesn't appear as a device in iTunes. What do I need to do to get my iPod Touch communicating with this new version of iTunes?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
