Can't transfer rented movies to 2Gen Ipod Touch

I recently recently rented two SD movies from the Itunes store.  When I tried to transfer them from my itunes to my Ipod Touch (2GEN) I got an error that says they were not copied because the video format is not supported by my Ipod.  I have rented and watched movies before however that was like 5 years ago.  Is my Ipod too old to support current Itunes rented movies.  Is so, can I get my money back for my rentals?

Are you sure they were SD? This says your iPod supports SD

  • I can't transfer any movies to my iPod touch

    I rented one movie and bought another one. I read all the FAQ's and how-to's on how to move them to your iPod, however when i try to do that, i get an error message. When i go into my iPod and click the 'movies' tab, and then click the 'move' button for the movie i rented..it says that it cannot be copied because it can't be played. Okay...so i went and found an article about that saying to go to 'advanced' and click 'convert to use with ipod/iphone' and that is not an option for the rented movie or any of the other movies. Then i bought a movie, and when i went to go to advanced, and then and instead of it saying 'convert for use with iphone/ipod' it says 'convert to mp3.' so i tried that and it gave me another error message saying that protected files cannot be converted to another format. I dont know what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it. I would really like to be able to watch movies on my ipod touch. After all, that is one of the big features about it

    yes. i updated itunes and quicktime to the newest versions last night and i just bought my ipod last night, so it came with the newest firmware update.

    I tried to put a rented movie on my ipod touch and it keeps saying that it can't be done because my computer is not authorized. However I have other rented movies on it. 

    Try deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer.

  • Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

    Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

    It depends upon what "stuff" you mean. Maybe this:
    App Store - Bluetooth FileShare
    If you want to make an Pad like the iPod, you can make one final backup of the iPod and then restore the iPad from the backup of the iPad. If you do this via iTunes vice iCloud), all the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library.

  • Can I transfer rented movies from one computer to another?

    I am posting this message as every time I try to transfer rented movies from my PowerBook to my iPod get the following message.
    Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    I have gotten this message with an iPod Classic, as well as an iPod Touch, so don't think it is the iPod, but can not be sure of that. Also have posted a message about this in past, but none of the suggestions seemed to help. In addition Apple seems to be no help. In any event if I use my dad's Mac Mini to transfer the rented movie I do not get this message. In any event I just wonder if their is any way to transfer rented movies from one my laptop to his desktop, so I then came transfer to my iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

  • Renting movies from my ipod touch

    I tried renting a movie on my ipod touch. I clicked "rent" which was interrupted by a new set of terms and conditions. After agreeing to the terms and conditions it told me to try my rental again so I did. My account has been debited for 2 movie rentals but I cannot find them anywhere. Also, I have not received any emails about recent purchases which I thought was curious. In the past I have rented movies from itunes on my computer and successfully transferred them to my touch, this is the first time I have tried to rent directly from my touch. Any ideas where my movie might be?

    Pics and videos taken with the ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  This is covered in the manual.

  • Can I transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4. All the music I have is in this iPod, since I had my music stored in a portable hard drive that broke.
    Thank you

    All the music I have is in this iPod
    Sorry no, but if you have synced your iTunes purchases from the iPod to your computer, connect the iPhone. From the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From iPod...
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    Or, if you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, and iOS 4.3.3, you can re download the music directly to the iPhone.

  • Can't transfer rented movies to ipod

    i just rented a movie for the first time and it won't transfer over to my ipod. i try to drag it over but i get the circle/slash symbol. any ideas? i looked at the guide but there weren't any answers.

    What kind of iPod do you have? Rental Movies will only play on the iPod Classic (not the 5th Generation iPod), the iPod Touch, the iPod Nano with video and the iPhone:

  • Can't Move rented movies Macbook to iPod Touch

    Rented 2 Movies from iTunes.  Downloaded both to Macbook.  Syncing iPod touch to Macbook, selected Move the movies to iPod.  Received error message Cannot move movies to iPod because they are in an unsupported format.  Very Odd since they came from iTunes store and I have done this dozens of times before.  An older movie that i had ripped did transfer ok.  Movies are MPEG-4, rented "Protected MPEG-4".  I am traveling and would like to have these movies on my iPod.

    Itunes support answered the question.  It happens that my version of iPod touch won't support the HD format.  Had I rented the movie in SD i would have been able to complete the transfer

  • How can I play a movie on my iPod touch?

  • Can you transfer pictures from an old ipod touch to a new ipod touch without having the old ipod touch or the photos in Iphoto?

    I somewhat recently got a new ipod touch after my screen cracked and the people at an Apple store said it would be cheaper to buy a new device completely.  I followed everything they said about backing up my old device and when I went to pick up the new one, the store took the old one away.
    Up until just a few days ago I did not realize Iphoto could hold pictures from your ipods.  Mine never did it automatically, nor did anything ever seem to have the option to do.  It just so happened that two days ago I was browsing the web when I noticed a website gave instructions on how to transfer photos.  So I tried it and it worked for my new ipod while all the new photos.
    But I was wondering if I could somehow get the old photos back from Itunes or my computer somewhere and transfer them into Iphoto or my new device.  I was hoping that maybe if I could "back up" my old stuff onto my new ipod for a few moments it would show I have the old photos and I could transfer them into Iphoto and then restore the ipod touch back to what I have it currently.
    If it helps, I'm pretty sure the old ipod touch I had was a 3gen as my new one I noticed was skinnier.  As I said, I do not have the old touch anymore but I have the data in Devices on my Itunes if that makes a difference.  Both my data for my old one and new one are in the Devices section of Itunes.
    Thanks,

    Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod:

  • Can I transfer new photos on my iPod touch 4th generation to an external hard drive?

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch.  I have less than 1 Gb of memory left so I want to transfer my entire photo library (5000+ photos) onto an external hard drive.  I don't want to import it directly on to my iMac because of the amount of hard drive it will take on my iMac.  Can this be done?  If so, how?

    Likely with a thrid-pary program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
    You should also be able to do it by changing the the location of your photos library in iPhotos to the external disk and then importing them via iPhoto

  • Don't have a computer.  Can I transfer my itunes stuff from ipod touch to iphone4

    Is there a way to transfer my Itunes account stuff to my iphone?  I do not have a computer...just an ipod touch where I purchased music and games.

    You can re-download music and apps without having to pay for it again. Without having a computer, you will need to download each one by one with your iPhone.
