Cannot copy mp4 file to ipad 2

Can anyone shed any light on this.
since upgrading iTunes to 10.5 I've been having issues copying MP4 movie files to my iPad 2.  I initally thought it was due to the iPad not having ios5. have since upgraded it and am still having the issue. I get the message iTunes could not copy ............ to the iPad "......'s iPad"because the file could not be written'
Any idea's?

Sorted
spoke to apple support. Got me  to reset ipad (home and power button till the apple appears) this has resolved it.

  • Cannot copy mp3 files to ipod after 4.3.1 OS update

    I updated my iPod Touch to 4.3.1. Now when I open iTunes and try to copy mp3 files to my iPod the cursor turns into a circle with a line across it indicating I cannot copy the files. I manually sync as I select a few items from my PC library. This method has worked fine for years. Only failed after 4.3.1 update. Any ideas? I have rebooted both PC and iPod several times. No joy.

    Hey PlanB77,
    Here's why I know the problem is Apple and NOT a problem with the aftermarket cables.
    I have a total of (6) aftermarket cables. These cables support several Apple devices (iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and iPad)in different locations. All (6) of these aftermarket cables have worked just fine for many months. After the update to 4.3.1 on my iPod Touch, NONE of these cables work on my iPod Touch, but the original Apple iPod cable works fine. These aftermarket cables still work fine on my other Apple products that have not been updated.
    It is beyond comprehension that all (6) aftermarket cables have failed only on my iPod Touch while working fine on all my other Apple devices. Hence my comment, Apple has become truly pathetic. They now demand your dollars for overpriced cables. As this change to the OS is without a public announcement and after I have purchased cables from other vendors I stand by my conclusion.
    Oh, and Apple wants to charge for support to tell you why their OS 4.3.1 upgrade broke your product. That adds insult to injury.

  • What app do I use to watch mp4 file on iPad?

    I used iTune on my MacBook Pro to copy an mp4 file onto iPad.  It seemed to have done so without complaint.  But I don't see the mp4 file from Music app on iPad.  What app am I supposed to use to view the mp4 file?

    Try free OPlayerHD Lite.

    Bummer!  I read something about getting this error due to insufficient permissions, but I attempted to install as local admin and didn't work either.  So I just uninstalled Adobe reader from the servers I was having this issue with, at least until a solution is available (?).  I'm not happy, it is not convenient if I have to use another machine to view PDFs, but I'd rather be inconvenienced than have unpatched servers.  Thanks for responding...let's hope Adobe responds...

  • Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?
    I have a customer that wants to put an employee handbook into a FORMS FOLDER. But he doesn't want users to be able to copy the file into other folders or onto removable media.
    Admittedly, I have never run into this before and my testing hasn't yielded an answer...
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks again,

  • Build Issues - cannot copy phonegap files

    All was working fine last week.  I haven't personally modified any files or locations.  I contacted Adobe support, but they said it was a plugin issue so no help from them.  I also noticed that Adobe hasn't answered to this same problem posted before in the forums.  What's up with that?

    I searched high and low on the internet for weeks trying to find a
    solution, I finally decided I would pay Adobe for an answer... So I
    called their paid support line.  I was told that it would cost $40,
    but I had spent so much time that $40 seemed OK.  After talking to
    someone that didn't know much, but was able to replicate the error,
    he directed me to Level 2 support.  He never ask for a credit card or
    any payment.
    When I called the level 2 support, it said that it would cost
    $240....  That was quite steep, but since I had wasted much more than
    that on non productivity, I proceeded.
    I got ahold of someone (they must of been in India), a little bit
    hard to understand.  She wanted to link to my desktop to watch what
    was happening.  After she looked at a couple of things, she
    immediately when to this solution, and it worked..  She also did not
    ask for payment.
    I don't know how they can say it is someone elses problem, as they
    own phonegap, and jquery in part of dreamweaver, and all I was doing
    is creating a new jquery / phonegap application from their included templates.
    I am just glad after days of struggling, we have a solution.

  • How do I copy MP4 files onto my IPad while travelling?

    Hello all
    I picked up my first IPad through work last week, and am still familiarising myself with the device. What I did manage to do is connect it to ITunes on my home computer and copy all of our childrens TV shows onto the device for our daughter to watch, and it all went smoothly.
    I have a question regarding this process however. I tend to watch a lot of TV shows, and in most cases I wait until after the season is finished and pick up the boxed set, so that I can watch it when I want, without commercials. What I then do is convert them to (unprotected) MP4 files that I then usually copy to my PS3 to watch them on our TV. Just as a test, I copied a few onto the IPad and they look great, I could easily see myself using this device to watch shows while travelling.
    However, our IPad is only 16 gigs, and in longer trips I would probably want to take more shows than that would allow. I also have a 1 Terrabyte portable harddrive though, that I can fit ample amount of shows on.
    At the moment I have only connected the IPad to one computer running ITunes, which is my PC at home. However lets assume I was travelling, and had both my external hard drive and IPad. What would be the best solution for copying movies from that external harddrive to the IPad to allow me to watch additional shows?  Unless I'm mistaken, I can have up to 5 computers authorised with my account.  Would it in theory be possible to find a PC, authorise it to my Ipad, copy the files over and then deauthorise that PC?  Or if not, what is the recommended solution?
    Apologies if this is common knowledge, I'm still a newbie.

    Even though you can have your iTunes account authorized on 5 computers your iPad can only be linked to one computer. If you used another computer to copy your content from your external drive you would have to Restore the iPad with the computer erasing all other data. The process will allow you to backup then Restore to that back up but it will not contain any of the media files you wish to keep on the iPad. This is why it is important to get the most storage on an iOS device you can afford.
    You might want to look at something like Kingston's Wi-Drive which is an external drive your iPad can access through wifi. http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless#wid I don't think it has any integration with iTunes but you could put a copy of the videos you wish to take with you then play them on it it's app.

  • I cannot copy mp4 video files to my iPod video

    I am having a problem with my 6-month old (6 months since I bought it) iPod Video. Before, I was using iTunes 6.0.0.18 (earlier relase of iTunes), which was installed from the CD included in my iPod. I didn't have a problem except that that version of iTunes does not have video conversion functionality to formats that iPod supports (to .m4v format) so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.5.20) to achieve this. When I upgraded, it created a new problem - for some reason that I don't know, I can no longer drag .mp4 files to my iPod. Everytime I drag a .mp4 video to my iPod, I'm getting an error message - "Some songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "xxxx", were not copied to iPod "xxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod.". Can you help with that? Thanks
    AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz; 512 MB RAM   Windows XP Pro   My USB is not 2.0

    That error is saying that the format can not be read on your iPod.I get this message when adding my video's to iTunes. So you need to convert them here are converters

  • Copying MP4 Movies to iPad

    I ripped a couple of my DVDs to MP4 and I'm trying to copy them to my iPad for an upcoming flight. I was able to copy 2 of them into iTunes with no problem but the other 2 I get the message, "Movie.mp4 was not copied to this iPad because they cannot be played on this iPad." I looked around a little bit to see if I could find anything online but wasn't able to find anything that worked. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    You can try 3rd party apps like OPlayerHD Lite to import MP4 from your computer via File Sharing.

  • Cannot copy MOV files

    I took video on my iphone 4 and want to transfer them to an ipad, first generation.  During sync got the following message "some of the videos in itunes library could not be copied to the ipad because they cannot be played on this ipad"...any idea why and how I can fix it?

    Here are the formats the first generation iPad supports.  MOV files are included.  But note the formats are limited, as the first generation iPad does not have a camera.

    Hi all,
    I have finally solved the problem, it seems somehow on my windows home premium I can't run the install script (on H:\ ) from the command line. I manually ran the batch script by double clicking on it, it ran fine and I was finally able to install ORE (server + supported + client) on my laptop. Now the connection -- followed through the manual, created user and granted all the roles. Now that I want to test the connection, I open R console and below are the input and output error message though it seems I can connect to the database:

  • Playing mp4 files on iPad

    Hi All, this a desperate cry for help before I finally junk my new iPad: I am currently enrolled in an online program running on the Adobe Connect platform. The multimedia files (mp4, pdf etc) can not play on the iPad despite several attempts. Any explanation to this and suggestion on what to do?

    You need an app to play those files....I am pretty sure. I play mp4 videos just fine on the app Goodplayer...the older version! The currently available Goodplayer app may not play mp4 files, since they had a dispute (exhorbitant fees) with Dolby, who banned their software use on Goodplayer and several other apps. I understand that there is an app available at the app store that has Dolby software, in that they collaborate with Dolby in some way. Be sure to check capabilities and limitations before you buy any such app. I don't know about pdf files.

  • Copying MP4 Files to Ex. Harddrive.

    Hi. I have a 2-3 yr old 1TB external harddrive from HD. Never had a problem with it before. The other day I tried to copy an mp4 file from my Air to the harddrive - got an error message of some sort, tried again, same error message. The harddrive proceeded to freeze up and I had to force eject it. When I plugged it back it, it wouldn't recognize on my computer until I restarted the whole thing. Copied some more files, including videos, worked fine - then tried to copy another video file (whatever format is downloaded when you purchase a video from Itunes, can't remember) and the thing crashes. All files on the harddrive are fine, still there. I think the harddrive is getting old. I go and buy a new harddrive (today). I got a 1TB passport for Mac, from HD. I copy maybe 10 MP4 files and then I get to this one file, try and copy it - boom, crashes, have to force eject, now my Mac isn't reading it. The files that are causing the crashes are all different (IE - there's not one file that's corrupt or something). Any ideas what's going on? Plenty of room on harddrives...
    Thanks in advance for any help! MacBook Air is about 6 months old.

    Thanks for that info - didn't actually know that. Edited my question accordingly.
    I have 2 USB ports, doesn't matter which one I use -  and I guess what I'm getting is that it's probably the computer? Since each external harddrive has its own cable, so that might also eliminate cable problems?
    Both harddrives seem to be fine with smaller files, for what that's worth. I've been copying Word docs with no problem.
    It's a weird issue. Not sure what to make of it.

  • MP4 files to Ipad

    My video camera takes .mp4 files. Is it possible to get these onto my ipad so I can edit them in Imovies?
    I want to be able to do this without the use of WIFI, or a laptop etc. I want to do this via USB if possible?
    Thanks

    Theoretically you can. but there are a lot of hoops to jump through. And I only know how to get them to your photos app, not sure if you can get them into iMovie. (In apple's world everyone has constant always on wifi so all their workflows are built around either syncing to iTunes or using wifi to get files onto the device, there isn't much support for non-iTunes wired transfer.)
    An SD card works better than USB. I've literally had a 50/50 success rate finding USB drives that work.
    but a camera connection kit. For your iPad 2 it'll be a 2 part accessory that runs around $30..
    Rename your MP4 files if necessary to give them a file name of 8 characters plus the extension MYMOVIE1.mp4 for example.
    Plug your SD card into your computer
    Put a folder on the top level of that card named DCIM.
    Put your movies into that folder.
    Plug that SD card in via the camera connection kit and open your photos app. Youi'll see an icon for import, choose the files to import and import them. Then you have the challenge of getting them into the app you want them in.
    The same basic premise works for importing off USB, but you have to find a USB drive that works without triggering the 'requires too much power' warning, so there'll be trial and error there.
    It works, it's just not intuitive or easy because it doesn't fit Apple's work flow.
