Can't upload videos to Itunes

My friend just got a new Ipod Video 30 gig.
He can upload songs fine, but for some reason Itunes isn't letting him add most videos to the Library or the Ipod.
Google Videos work fine, but anything else gives him the circle with a slash through it when he tries to drag it over to Itunes. Importing doesn't work either.
It's not a conversion problem since he has tried both movies that are pre-made for the Ipod and movies that I have converted myself and work just fine on my Ipod video.
He has tried re-installing Itunes, but that doesn't work either.
I'm pretty good at fixing these things, but this has stumped me. The only thing I could think of was trying a different version of Itunes, but that's not working either.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

Specifically, the section on "Can I sync my own video from iTunes to iPod?". The iPod only supports certain video formats.

All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone 4. I can send them in emails and messages, but not to my computer or Facebook (Serious! I know.) Have I done something wrong, pushed a button that I shouldn't have?

All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone to my computer or to Facebook. I can send them in messages

iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time

Can I upload videos to Photo Stream

Can I upload videos to Photo Stream?

Photo Stream IS NOT a backup. It will only show the last 1000 photos taken on your iPhone. And no, you cannot "upload" video to photo stream.
If you need to backup, use iTunes. Your videos will not be backed up, but they will be synched.

Why can't upload video on Facebook from Iphoto

why can't upload video on Facebook from Iphoto?

Because that's not supported. Export the video and upload from the Finder.

Can I upload video to icloud

Yes and no... iCloud is really at the moment like a "train station". It is a transional place really meant for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Text Edit, and Preview. You create a document, then save it to icloud, then when your done with it... you move it to its final destination. I usually send the file to a final resting area, either some where on my documents folder or on a network server and my backup file i tend to keep for a little while then either trash the back up or archive the backup. If you want to upload video, or large files to share, use Dropbox or an alternate online storage cloud system.

Can I upload videos in Nano?

Can I upload videos in Nano?
Can i watch videos on Nano?
I heard the normal ipod can be used to watch videos.
I have movies on my computer and I was wondering if I can uploaded and watch it on Nano.
Also, is it worth buying?
I am planning on buying a Nano, I once had shuffle but I had to return it because it wouldn't work.

Well if you are going to be running, biking or some other activity l;ike it that may involve alot of you bouncing up and down you will need to get either a shuffle or a nano because the other ipods have hard disks or something like that in them that can be easily damaged by doing that sort of activity. The shuffle and the nano are bopth flash based so they will be fine. And no you can not put videos on it so you are unfortanately going to have to choose. But maybe later apple will make a video flash ipod mabye 6th gen so we'll see.

Can you stream video from itunes using 1st generation appleTV

can I stream video using itunes on my PC and an appleTV(1st generation)?

AppleTV 1 works differently.
It has a sync/share mode and sharing (streaming only) modes set up by pairing the unit with iTunes on computers using the Settings>Computers menu.
The first sync and share connection is for one itunes library and allows you to sync compatible media to the unit's hard drive as well as stream the rest seamlessly if itunes is runniung and the drive has filled up - this media is accessed under My Music, My Movies etc.
Sharing libraries stream only and are accessed via My Shared Movies, Music etc.
Yes, Handbrake is a video converter that has AppleTV presets - use AppleTV1 preset or a simple universal Apple preset.
See:

ATV1 does not understand Home Sharing or video Airplay.

I can't upload videos on Instagram

I can't upload videos on Instagram. The step by step process works properly like the filters. But when I click share it always failed to upload

Since this is an app-related issue, you might have better luck contacting the developer or searching out their help/FAQ pages.

Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version and wait for it to finish converting. Then try and sync the newly converted version over to your iPod Classic.

i have movies in mp4 format which is compatible with my ipod but i can't seem to be able to drag those files into my itunes. how can i upload my videos onto my ipod if i can't get them into my itunes?? ): can somebody help me pls?

Well, open your iPod options, choose the Videos tab, and make sure it's set to automatic update. If it already is, right click on the video(s) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod."

Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?
PS. I'm using Ipod video

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

How do I upload videos onto iTunes?

I'm using a PC and I don't know how to get videos onto iTunes (and then onto my iPod)
First of all, what are the types of video files that are compatible? I've tried .avi, .flv, and .mpg, but only .mpg worked so far (BUT! it wouldn't upload onto my iPod??)
Can someone please help me with this?? iTunes made me delete all my music on my iPod in order to sync videos, but what's the point if I can't put any videos on there anyway?

The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
-or-
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.

Can't view videos in iTunes now

My computer, previously running on Vista, recently crashed. I backed up my data and loaded Windows 7 instead. Things are running great now, and I have downloaded iTunes 9.2. I have all my music and videos back, but I cannot watch any of the videos on iTunes. I tried renting a video from iTunes, but cannot watch that either. Every time I try, iTunes freezes. I can watch videos with Windows Media Player on my computer, and I can watch my iTunes videos on my nano. So it seems my computer and the files are both ok.
Why can't I watch videos on iTunes? I tried redownloading iTunes and updating my video drivers. Any other ideas?

I'm having a problem with videos too. The other day I tried out the iTunes Rental service, and when I went to play my movie, iTunes froze. I updated to the latest versions of iTunes/Quicktime and the problem persisted. And now I notice that ALL of my videos cause iTunes to freeze. I can't say for certain if there was a problem with all videos before I downloaded the movie, but I certainly didn't notice one before. Videos still play fine in standalone Quicktime and I checked the DirectX settings already.
Any help appreciated.
