Cannot download videos onto ipod

i tried to download a couple videos from itunes and when th ey download it'll just come to a stop half way through the process and wont move again so i cancell it and go to advance then check for purchases on the itunes menu but it will say "there was an error downloading your puchased music. an unknown error occured (-50)."
WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?

are you downloading the vidieos and podcasts off itunes? if not they are in the wrong format. for the vidieo just use quick time and for podcasts use itunes and go up to the advanced menu and chose convert to ....... it maybe mp3 or some other ipod supported format.
now if you have dowloaded off itunes then try restoreing the ipod via the latest ipod updater.

    just bought a iPod nano, i've sucessfull downloaded some videos into my itunes library, now i want to download them to my iPod,i've followed the instructions to go into advanced, and click on 'convert selection for iPod', but mine brings up 'convert selection for AAC' i've trying to change it to AIFF as suggested but each time i change it a message stating 'could not convert because protected files cannot be converted to other formats'..... so the question is how can i either un protect them or how can i download this video, which i bought from correct site ???!!!

    Welcome to Apple discussions, elivira!
    You have an iPod nano. Nano's are not capable of putting videos on them. Only the Fifth Generation is.
    Good day!

  • Cannot download iTunes onto my iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and it does not appear to have iTunes installed on it.
    When I first tried to find the iTunes app, I was initially directed to a page that said "Download iTunes".... but when I clicked on that link, I was taken to another page that described how wonderful iTunes was but didn't appear to have anything regarding downloading iTunes.
    When I found another supposed link to "Install iTunes", the "iTunes Connect" window on my phone opens, I enter my password and get the following message: Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect. (2002) 
    I went to my Apple ID account and saw nothing about enabling my Apple ID for iTunes Connect. Then I find that iTunes Connect doesn't appear to have anything in common with trying to load a new copy of iTunes onto my phone. Very confusing to me.… I'm an all-Apple person now and this reminds me more of my days on a PC.
    I have a feeling that I'm going to need to wipe and reinstall ALL the software on my iPhone? Yes?
    Thx

    You cannot download iTunes onto iPhone.
    Apple has iTunes (an Apple Store front for purchasing music, movies, tv-shows, etc) built-in on all iPhones, no need to download.
    The iTunes that you can download is either for your Mac or PC computers, not Apple mobile devices.
    iTunes Connect is for Apps Developer.

    I don't know that any Flash downloader extensions work in Firefox for Android. You would be best off asking for support from the extension authors at https://fvdmedia.userecho.com/list/21650-firefox-extensions/?category=4944

  • Dwhelper cannot download video

    cannot download video from this website http://www.wootly.ch/?v=GH9EEEE4
    before this i can download video from this website

    I see a download link on that page to download and save that video via the right-click context menu, so the extension is not really needed in this case.

  • Cant drag video onto ipod downloaded from itunes

    Hi
    Ive been downloading videos from itunes, for example "Joe Cartoon" podcast. I got the first few episodes onto my ipod fine, since then though i cant get videos onto the ipod. They download fine from itunes but when i try to drag them onto the ipod i get the black circle with the line through it. ive checked the info and they are mpeg4. Does anyone else have this problem or have any solutions?!
    thanks in advance

    Hello mizgeministarz,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I only have a few suggestions for you, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least try. Have you tried accessing these TV shows outside the playlist they reside in? Just access them from the main list of TV Shows if at all possible or if that isn't what you are doing currently.
    It might not hurt to also try to restore the iPod and start from scratch allowing fresh copies of the TV Shows to sync over to your iPod. There may have been a syncing issue that corrupted your TV Shows. If that isn't the case, your iPod is having trouble with the video playback.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Touch won't download videos onto my MacBook with image capture..

    My ipod Touch won't download videos I took with the Photo app onto my MacBook.  Is this a memory problem?  The videos play fine on the iPod but I can;t get them off of it.  Thanks.

    - Could it be that the ones that can't be viewed are really too big of a file size and thus can't really be emailed?
    - Is there any pattern to the computer OS and email program your friends are using?

  • Cannot get videos onto 60GB Ipod

    Simple question, how do I get videos over to my 60GB Ipod? Very simply Itunes does not let me drag videos onto my ipod device, where it's listed on the left side. The videos are converted and in the proper format for the Ipod.
    I got it to work once, but I cannot seem to get it to work anymore.
    Just got it today, this thing really does not play well with my PC as I've had many problems updating it right out of the box.

    I was having trouble adding some videos to my ipod, and they were ones with really long titles and/or other characters in the title.
    When I shortened the title, for some reason, they went on right away.
    Don't ask me why, I found this out by accident.
    Worth a try, right?

  • Itunes Wont Load videos onto Ipod

    hi, i currently have a 60GB ipod video, and now itunes is refusing to load any videos onto my ipod, i tried so many different programs to convert video, eg videora, PQ DVD, and Replay converter etc.
    and i get the same error, it says video was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod.
    is there a way to load videos without using Itunes? or can i force itunes to load the videos?
    any help would be appreciated...
    thanx ^_^

    "All my songs are listed on the IPOD but are faded where they are in regular font in my library"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists".
    Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. This will give you a fresh installation and allow you to start over: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • 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?

  • Download album onto Ipod in other user name

    my husband downlaoded an album to his itunes account instead of one in my name which is used for our ipod. How can I now get the album from this itunes account onto the ipod?

    Need to be clear on terminology.
    An iTunes account is something you log into to buy music.
    An iTunes library is what you have on your computer which lists your collection of media files.
    A computer can have one or several user accounts which can hold not only iTunes things but other items.
    So, reading the above you cannot download to an iTunes account that's just an accounting method.  To where exactly was this file downloaded?  To his iTunes library?  Does he have it in a separate user area on the computer or do you share one area with two libraries?  Or do you share one library in two areas?  Or do you share one library in one area with different playlists for syncing? Ultimately a file was downloaded somewhere, but how you get access to it depends stongly on how you have the computer set up.

  • Syncing Videos onto iPod

    Ok, so ive downloaded some videos and they show up on the video section of iTunes. But when I try to update my ipod with them on it, it wont work. It says that those files cannot work on "this iPod", this being my iPod video. Do the files need to be a certain format, is my itunes fully updated, anyone else go through this? If so explain how you got it to work. Thanks.

    Make that at least 3 of us. I have a number of music videos and movies I converted with ImToo DVD to iPod converter. These worked find UNTIL I installedd the 1/20 update. After that, most of them will not copy to the ViPod - and less copy with every update!
    I've also noticed that I seem to be shy about 75-100 mp3s as well, with no messages popping up.
    I have uninstalled iTunes and the Updater, then reinstalled the original (CD) software. After running the 10/12 updater and using the earlier version of iTunes, I still have the same problem. Chkdsk finds no problems on the drive (not that I expected any..).
    Apple needs to fix this one along with the other reported video-related problems, 'cause this ***** BIG TIME!
