Can't transfert a MOV file to my iPod Classic (160gb)?

Since upgraded to Apple iTune 7.6.1.9, I can't transfert a MOV (or MP4 or any past compatible file) to my iPod Classic (160)? Does adding AppleTV Take2 movie rental affect the files formats I synch to my iPod? The 1st file was MP4 (H264) but would not play on Quick Time so converted it into MOV and play but would not transfert from Library List to my iPod?
Tried to use my iPod as a hard disk but wasn't successful in doing so (look in Preference for the window but couldn't find it?). Even tempted to wip all data on it and start it back to square 1.
Can I retrograde to my older iTune version? How?
Any help would be welcome! In this form my iPod Classic is almost useless to me!

I've tried repeatedly to import a short video that's on my computer, to my iPod. I know that first I need to get it into the itunes library. I've tried everything to get it there but NOTHINGS WORKING! I've tried Choose File > Add to Library, and locate a file or folder to add; but that doesn't work! I can locate the file, click open, but it doesn't get added.
What format is the video? iTunes and your iPod can only play certain formats, so you may need to use a third-party application to convert the video to a format iTunes can handle.
In iTunes Help, it also says "Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window" but what and where exactly is the "iTunes window"??
The window you see when you first launch iTunes.
I've also tried "consolidate library" but that doesn't work? What is consolidate supposed to do? Why didn't it fix that? How do I add the other almost 200 files?
The Consolidate Library is only useful when you have your iTunes library in two more more locations, all of which iTunes recognizes. It does nothing to add unrecognized tracks to iTunes. You'll have to locate them and drag them into the iTunes window or use the "Add To Library command". Note that iTunes will not play copy-protected Windows Media format, so if any of these missing tracks are ones that were purchased from another download music store and they're not MP3, it's probable that they're copy protected in which case you will not be able to use them in iTunes or on an iPod unless the service from which you bought them allows you to burn the tracks to a standard audio CD.
Regards.

  • HT3215 Where can I purchase a new battery for my iPod Classic, 160GB?

    I've got an iPod Classic, 160GB and it won't hold a charge nor charge more than about 10%.  We live in Costa Rica and the authorized Apple dealer there (called iCon) doesn't have the batteries. They tell me that if I can buy one and bring it to them, they will install it for me. But where can I get one?
    Thanks.

    Yes. A few $/£ should get you a compatible battery and the tools to do the job. It is a little fiddly, but I've done several. Video tutorials are online.

  • I can't open albums recently synced to my iPod Classic 160GB 5th Gen.

    My approximately 2.5 year old ipod Classic Gen. 5  recently developed a problem consisting of the inability to open and play recent albums that had been importged into iTunes and then synced to the iPod. The software version on my iPod is 2.0.4 and it had been updated to this level after I activated the iPod shortly after purchasing it in 2010.  The version of iTunes on my computer is Version 10.5.3.3 which I installed on  01-25-2012. My Dell Computer XPS Gen 5 has Windows XP SP 3 installed on it as of 05-2009.
    The "opening albums" problem has developed since the latest version of iTunes , 10.5.3.3 was installed. My iPod is about 75% full of it's stated capacity of 40, 000 tracks.I have nothing but music on my iPod.
    All of my music iwithin iTunes is fully populated with the respective meta data including appropriate album art.
    I have attempted several workarounds for this problem, including using the iPod reset routine (moving the HOLD button to the lock position for about 5-10 seconds, moving the Hold button back to the open position, then simultaneously holding the Menu and the Select buttons down until the Apple lkogo appears on the LED). The iPod eventually resumes normal mode and comes back to the Main Menu. This does not solve the problem of specific tracks within an album or playlist not playing.
    The second workaround was having the iPod docked rto my computer and to right click the iPod graphc within iTunes which displays the panel which provides iPod identification and capacity statistics, etc. By clicking on the Restore button on this panel a procedure is launched to clear out the existing firmware on the iPod and reset it to that level on the iPod when it came from the factory; my iPod was reset to version.2.0.4. There is eventually a choice to make as to clearing off the existing music and I chose to do so.
    One thing I do notice about the tracks that will not play is that they invariably show in the Get Info Summary tab as ID3tag  v2.4 and Encoded by LAME3.98.
    The bulk of my music reflects ID3Tag v2.3. I read somewhere that ID3Tag type v2.4 has some negative impact on iTunes and subsequently the iPod.. The ID3tag v2.4 offers the opportunity to preload album art within the ID3 tag at a prescribed area of the ID3 tag prior to importing the music tracks into iTunes.
    I also read at one of the User Commumnity sites that iTunes began the iCloud concept in the latest version or versions in January 2012. Within the Menu bar at the top of the screen you can left click on the VIEW item and get a drop down list of options. If you left click on the VIEW OPTIONS you will get a panel which provides you a selection of fields to be displayed on your listing.among them being iCLOUD DOWNLOAD and iCLOUD STATUS. I have not subscribed
    to the new iCloud service so all my tracks show as WAITING with a clear cloud graphic. Aparently these iCLOUD status indicators must be stored somewhere on the ID3 tag. I hope that the music that I have been impoting to iTunes is not being corrupted by the utilization of the same area for 2 different purpsoses.

    Hey you dont need our help, you can help most of us here.
    But can you clarify that the problematic Albums does play in iTunes and not in iPod?
    I agree with you, it is most likely the ID3Tag v2.4, which may not be implemented correctly, missing  iPod software codec,  especially the album art tag.
    I can only suggest, deleting the Album Art for the album and see if it works.
    Have a nice day!

  • HT4527 HOW DO I MOVE FILES FROM MY IPOD CLASSIC 80GB TO A NEW COMPUTER?

    Just moved, computer that had my ITUnes library on it was damaged in the move.  How can I move my files onto my new laptop? 

    You (or a helpful friend) may be able to extract the hard drive from the damaged computer, put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Can I download a PDF file ontol my iPod Classic

    I am trying to figure this out and wanted to know if anyone on the net could tell me.

    And you should be aware that if you do this, you will need to split the files into quite a few notes because the iPod is only capable of displaying the first 4 kilobytes (KB) of text, or about 4096 characters of each note.
    The notes feature isn't really meant for long documents like a multi page PDF file.

  • DVD: can I extract the movie files?

    DVD: can I extract the movie files?
    I created a DVD (burned on DVD media). I did not archive the project since the files are too large. Can I extract the movie files from the DVD? I want to make a edit to the DVD.
    I know if I have the movies (clips) in iMovie I can do it but how do I do it from a completed DVD that I created and dont have the assets?
    I really don't want to pay for software that I will use once. Low or No cost alternative that won't sacrifice file quality? Thanks! Steve

    As far as set up goes, others on this forum feel free to add. I rarely use either of the above (although I have access to them on separate power macs).
    Reason: Apple's DVDSP works natively with Mpeg-2. I personally have no need for anything else since these features are already included in apple's pro apps.
    Q: Doesnt DVDxdv watermark the demo version?
    A: Yes. It does, until you pay for it in full.

    Q:what is QT playback component??
    A:The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved into one track) and nonmultiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams.

  • How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

    Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto.  From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file. 

    You are welcome;
    there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
    Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.

  • Where can i find hidden movie files on a macbook

    I've deleted all the movies from my mac and when I open my system profile it shows I have 42GB of movies somewhere hidden on my macbook.  I've tried searching .mov in my spotlight (which yields nothing) and manually searching through the iTunes folder and movies folder (which are empty).  Any other ideas as to where I can find these hidden movie files -- 42gb is pretty hefty.

    If you are using Time Machine, it keeps a "local snapshot" - backups kept on your hard drive, not the backup drive, to protect you from certain kinds of data loss while you are away from your backup drive.  These snapshots are kept for a week, and one consequence of this is that you don't immediately recover space when you delete files, since they will be added to the local backup.

  • Can't not import mov files into AE.

    This problem has appeared for some of the time. It causes several things I can't do in my After Effect, but I really have no idea how I can fix it.
    Problem 1: wait a long time to open the AE, it hangs on the initializing media core and takes about 10-15 mins to get through.
    Problem 2: can't import the mov files, and if I import the mov to the AE project, this pop up comes
                   "After Effects error: file 'file name.mov' cannot be imported - this 'MooV file is damaged or unsupported.'"
    Problem 3: can't output the comp as mov. and this pop up warming comes
                   "After Effects: One of the output modules could not be imported. It has been reset to use the default setting for the selected file format."
    I read some threads and I knew this might cause by the blocked communication between AE and QT. But I have double check my QT, it is version 7.6.6 and I have no firewall software installed, hence the communication is okay (i guess, since I can play the mov file normally and not the warm message that “QuickTime is not installed on this system…”) .
    Some other thread says may because of the three party component in the QT Library. This may make sense, cause I install some converters for converting the wmv and avi before…
    Here are the components in the QT Library:
    AviImporter.component
    FFusion.component
    iChatTheaterPreview.component
    IMXCodec.component
    XviD_Codec.component
    ↑↑The above 5 component I have move them out, but no luck still ↑↑
    AppleAVCIntraCodec.component
    AppleHDVCodec.component
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    AppleProResCodec.component
    DesktopVideoOut.component
    DVCPROHDCodec.component
    DVCPROHDMuxer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
    FCP Uncompressed 422.component
    LiveType.component
    Could anyone give me some advise regarding to those problems, and is there any of the above component I should move away.  DEL .\/.
    Thanks so much in advance for any of your help and advise, really appreciate that! thanks!

    Here are some background info about my mac:
    Mac OSX 10.6.8
    2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    8GB memory
    AE CS5
    QuickTime Player 7 version 7.6.6

    I was having the same problem and so far this solution has worked for me. (knock on wood)
    Try setting your default player for .mov files to QuickTime.  (Mine was set to Windows Media Player)
    Right click on one of the mov files you are having a problem opening in AE.
    Select the "Open with" and select "Choose default program..." at the bottom.
    Select Quick Time. (Make sure the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box is checked.)
    Reboot your computer.
    Open AE and see if it works.

  • How can I copy or move files with elements 10 organizer ?

    Hello,
    since a couple of days I use Elements10 Organizer under Windows 7 Home.  Since then Im testing how to come along with the product and it's features. Though I had many good impressions of many functions that work excellent I now have severe problems  to organize my workflow. The problem is: I can*t copy or move files or directories with the organizer and worse, I can't find files or directories that where copied, moved or renamed by Windows 7 Explorer even when I import or load the specified directory into the elements10  catalogue again. Off course I understand the elements 10 philosophy to have an image only one time within the data base and to arrange every collecting idea by tags and catagiories. Nevertheless there is a need to have sometimes a copy and also to know where the copy is and to manage it. Right now I find no way to handle these tasks by elements 10 organizer. I am a newbe on photoshop elements.
    I would appreciate if there is anybody who knows a solution to me. Thanks and bye, Woenni

    I am also having this same exact problem. Only some, and not all of the files on my external hard drive will copy. I get the "No Symbol" when trying to copy or move files.
    I am able to duplicate all files. I also can right click on a file and select copy. However on some files, I can't ever paste it (paste doesn't show up or is grayed out), drag it to another folder, or drag-and-copy it to another location or drive.
    The files are not locked and I have read and write permissions.
    The external that I'm trying to move and copy files from is a FAT32. Could that be a problem? How do I get my files off of this drive?
    *PLEEEEASE HELP!*
