Cannot copy Steve Jobs' keynote onto iPod!

I managed to download the keynote (over an hour of video) onto my iTunes on my computer but when I tried to syn my iPod and transfer the video onto the iPod, there's an error message: "iPhone (i.e. the video) was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod." WHY?
And when I played the video on my iMac (iMac G5 with 1.6GHz CPU speed and 256MB memory), the video sometimes is not smooth. Is it because my iMac is too slow?

iPodian,
First of all, what type of iPod do you have?
It will have to be a Fifth Generation iPod in order to play this, because no other types of iPods are capable of video playback.
Then, if you do have a Fifth Generation iPod, what format is the file in? Be sure that it is in a compatible format for your iPod (either .mp4, .m4v, or .mov format).
I'm not sure, but it's possible that what you said about your iMac's processing speed is true in this situation.
But, since that error message usually indicates that the video format or your type of iPod isnt compatible, I normally deal with those two main possibilities initially before delving further.

  • Steve Jobs keynote speech - how to get that quality and speed?

    I watched Steve Jobs keynote speech with interest and envy.
    How is it possible to get the video quality so good combined with so fast download - even on a relatively slow bandwidth I could more or less instantaneously scroll to the end?
    I run a local net based TV station in Denmark http://www.tv-moen.dk and would love to supply that quality and speed. Can anyone help, please?
    Sincerely
    Sigurd Bo Bojesen

    Dav Sigurd!
    You are right, the videos on your site do not run smoothly - lots of stopping and re-buffering.
    Presumably they are Flash videos?
    Have you tried contacting Adobe?

  • Cannot copy songs from library to ipod - says need to run updater but ipod

    Cannot copy songs from library to ipod- says the software is too old and updater needs to be rund. However, the updater has been run and says the ipod is up to date. I have already run the restore so the ipod is empty.

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    So, transfer of any songs added (or removal of any songs deleted from iTunes) should take place automatically every time you connect the iPod to iTunes.

  • Steve Jobs Keynote and the ipod

    I was wondering how steve jobs gets the screen to mirror the screen of the touch (or any ipod) Can I do this? Also, How does he hide icons?

    Jaz Dude,
    First, the Keynote was done before YouTube was announced as a feature of the iPhone, and before the iTunes WiFi store, those icons weren't hidden, they just didn't exist on the iPhone.
    Second, when he first connects the iPhone during the Keynote presentation he states it is a special unit for doing those kinds of demonstrations.
    Hope this helps,

  • Cannot copy .mov & .mpeg files to iPod 80

    Hello
    I have just bought an iPod Video 80 gb.
    I have some .mov & .mpeg files on my iTunes library. But when I try to copy those files to my iPod, a message appears:
    "filename" was not copied to the ipod "My iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    So I cannot copy those files to iPod. But I can copy .mp4 videos to iPod without any problem.
    Why is this happening? How can I copy .mov & .mpeg files to my iPod?
    I am using the latest iTunes, 7.0.2.16. Also my iPod has the latest software, 1.2.1.
    Thanks

    Have you looked at the troubleshooting document? "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

  • Cannot copy 1 song to my ipod

    I'm trying to transfer a song to my ipod and an error screen pops up saying: ""name of song" was not copied to iPod "iPod name" because it cannot be played on this iPod." This song plays fine in itunes, fine on another computer, and I was able to copy the rest of my songs onto my iPod. Why will this 1 song not copy for me?

    Just a theory, but sometimes that incompatibility is caused by the sample rate. By any chance is the sample rate on the song 48 kHz?
    If so, create a new version at 44.1 kHz by setting sample rate in your import preferences and then doing "Convert Selection to mp3."

  • Cannot copy photos from iPhoto to iPod Nano

    Hello all,
    This is my first post so please be gentle!
    I have just purchased a new Nano. Everything works fine and dandy apart from viewing photos.
    I have set up the Nano via iTunes to copy (sync) all photos. iTunes then optimises the photos and states it has copied them to the Nano. When I view them on the Nano they are not there. I have changed the amount I copy (sync?) from one folder to the whole lot with no effect.
    Am I doing anything wrong.
    How much free space do I need in the first place?
    What size does iTunes reduce the photos to?
    Please help me!
    iMac G5 iSight 20" 2.1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm not sure what's going on, but something you might want to try is to make an album in iPhoto with only three or four photos, and then set the iPod to only sync with that album. That should at least let you know if the feature works, and then you can play with sizes, etc. Also, you might want to make sure you have installed any available updates for your iPhoto, just to play it safe.

  • No audio on Steve Jobs Keynote 2006

    I have tried to watch the 2006 Macworld Keynote online. I am able to receive the video but cannot get any sound at all.
    I am on Mac OS X 10.3.4 with the latest updates; Quicktime Pro 7.0.4 with automatic default settings. On the A/V controls the volume is on maximum.
    I note others on the forum with various error display when accessing this but no one appears to be having a sound problem. I have check other streaming video and there is no audio difficulties.
    Can anyone advise?

    Found this note on Mac Help in Finder...
    "No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)"
    Solution
    Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

  • Download Steve Jobs Keynote

    Hello,
    is there any way to download the keynote?
    Thanx

    One of the features of using "Streaming Media" is that no "local" copy of the file is created.
    Without a copy on the local machine no other files can be created from the "streamed" version.

  • Steve Jobs keynote style overlay?

    Is there a built in way to do the kind of effect we see at keynote addresses, where the video of Steve is in a small box in a corner, and the graphic he is talking about is more dominant in the frame?

    sure, 3 'tracks', background, the charts, the video. by keyframing it, you can manipulate size & format of the two 'inserts'.-

  • Cannot copy table to Keynote

    I have noticed that tables as small as about 20x20 do not copy to Keynote, while smaller tables do. Nothing happens when I paste into a Keynote slide. This is very irritating as I have to take a screenshot.
    What am I missing?

    Thanks Badunit for your help.
    I actually have re-checked, and one of the tables where this happens has 25 rows and 99 columns, but only 10 columns are visible (the others are hidden).
    Preview always correctly generates a New from Clipboard document, but in Keynote nothing happens. This is on a Macbook 10.5.8. I have verified that the same problem happens with the same document in an iMac running 10.6.2.
