Cannot add videos to Ipod

Hey, I've searched this forum and tried all the programs that have been listed; Videora, PSPware.. ect.
I've tried Quicktime Pro to convert the files, but it takes such an unreal ammount of time I haven't been able to let it finish to try them.
No matter what I convert the files into, it will NOT let me drop them into my Ipod... it just shows an X when I try to drag and drop. Can someone PLEASE help with this, as the video's is the only reason I went with the Ipod over competitors :/

OK, I let Quicktime run overnight and made a video into Ipod format and it still will not load onto my Ipod... Does it sound like I just got a lemon? I'm going to see if I can return it for another one and see if a new one will work.
If you believe the problem is in the iPod and there is an Apple Store in your area, it would be a good idea to contact them and make an appointment as soon as possible. If there is no store in your area, download an iPod compatible file from the Internet and test whether or not it will load/sync. I have 3-4 test clips in the Public Folder of my HomePage (jrwalker4) account if you can't find any elsewhere.
As to inability to convert your own movies, are you using the iPod specific preset or trying to use the MPEG4 QT Pro interface? If the latter, what settings did you use?

Cannot add playlist to Ipod

Whenever I try to add my playlist from my computer to my ipod, the crossed out circle appears, and I cannot add it. I found that when I go to my Ipod, the bar that shows how much space is left has a lock next to it. Does this mean anything?

It is in Autosync.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click on the music tab.
Select the playlists you want to put onto the iPod.
When you wanto add/delete music from the iPod, just do it from these playlists and then sync the iPod.

"I cannot add video to itunes and my iphone i see this warning "Example' was not copied to the iPhone because it cannot be played on this iPhone."

I'm having this same problem, except the option to "create iphone/ipod version" is greyed out and I can't select it. I tried to sync it after I noted that, but the same "cannot copy video" message came up.

Cannot export videos into iPod format?????

I have Quicktime Pro, and recently exported some 15 video or so into iPod format, then imported them into iTunes for storage on my 60 GB iPod 5G. Imagine my surprise to find the error message that some of the videos, including all but three of the ones I exported,cannot be played on my iPod. I even tried using iTunes to re-export the videos in iPod format, to no avail.
What's the deal? I thought the "export to iPod" option in Quicktime Pro 7.1.2 and the "convert selection to iPod" function in iTunes was so that I could vide my videos on this iPod. Why is this no longer working?????

There are some files (such as MPEG-1 and those with muxed audio) that Quicktime has trouble converting. I use iSquint for converting videos for my iPod, and it works great. It's faster than Quicktime, and it's also free!

Cannot add videos to my iPod "Classic"

Hi, I just converted a video from a DVD with Handbrake 0.9.5 and couldn't then add it to my iPod. I did a search in spotlight for the file and it came up as a "protected MPEG-4 movie". Now I've followed this proceedure many times over and never had this problem before what has happened to make this occur. Is it Handbrake or QT 10 as igirl1 wrote: discussions.apple.com/thread/2633767?start=0&tstart=0. This file plays just fine in iTunes and sending it to the iPod the green plus sign comes up but nothing happens. Please can anybody help?

Sorry didn't realize the forum was incorrect as the path above reads:

Cannot add videos to itunes.

Hey, I have a 60G video ipod and my itunes wont let me add ANY videos. this began about 2 weeks ago.. and i re downloaded it etc etc.. updated.. and it still wont let me???
HELP!!

I have the same problem in my 60GB video IPOD.
In Itunes, If I click on EDIT - PREFERENCE - IPOD - VIDEO, all the buttons are grey and blank or not active.
This does not allow me to change anything and therefore i cannot copy any videos to my IPOD.
Please advise on how the Video section can be activated as this is the main reason why we cannot transfer.
Will someone from Apple help or someone advise a remedy on how we can transfer video to the IPOD.

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

Add video on ipod (win)

Hello guys,
Well in spite of all my efford I can't get video on my ipod(60gb). I'm using windows and I-Tunes. First of all as a dutchman it is impossible to download any videos in the US store and the Dutch store doesn't provide any video's at all. Then I thought I just add some mpg's,wmv,mov to my library but then I get an error that I-Tunes can't copy them to the Ipod. Can anyone help me with this problem or does anyonde know a link to a simple (n00b) manual? Thanks in advance!
Greetings

Kees, have you tried QuickTime Pro to convert your video. It is US $30 and windows version is available. Find out more here .apple.com/quicktime/pro/mac.html
I also publish Pod Mania a print directory of every iPod accessory. I am trying to collect all iPod software and video conversion software at our web site.
http://www.DigitalMania-Online.com just go to software category and then to windows and video section too.
I have hundreds of software products listed but many of the links and descriptions are incomplete. I want to do tutorials etc and am looking for writers to contribute.
Best regards,
Jim

Cannot add video - "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie"

Okay, I've searched around and cannot find anything that works, this is driving me crazy! I converted a file from .avi to .mp4 and am now trying to add it to iTunes so that I can put it on my iPod Touch. When I try to add the file, whether by dragging and dropping the file into itunes or going through the File menu, nothing happens - no error messages, no notifications, nothing. If I try to open the file in Quicktime I get the "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie" message.
I've tried editing the tags with Tagger, tried the AoA MP4 patch, tried moving the file to a flash drive and adding from there, tried running iTunes in XP compatibility mode... all with no effect. Please, is there anyone that knows how to fix this?

Hello,
This doesn't really solve the problem, but why don't you ask your colleague to resave or export test.3gp?
The new file will probably work. (vs troubleshooting your Windows PC can take ages, to no avail)
