Cannot sync movies on Ipad

Folks,
Is anyone having issues syncing movies on the ipad. I have tried all options and my entire movie library refuses to move over to the iPAD. Is this a known bug or something that apple needs to fix. All my movies are syncing with my iphone and Apple TV without any issues.
Regards

I run into this same problem on occasion. For some reason iTunes thinks a movie isn't compatible with the iPad even though the movie IS compatible. Instead of letting the user override this and allow the movie to sync, Apple in their new "big brother" mode simply won't let you even try to play the file. Grrrrr....
However, if you know the movie format is fine (or just want to try it), you can add the movie to the iPad using Air Sharing HD (their may be other software which performs this same function). You can then play the movie directly in that app. Unfortunately, Air Sharing HD does not remember your location, so if you stop playing in the middle you will have to find your place again manually. This has allowed me to play a number of movies which are properly encoded but which iTunes refuses to sync to my iPad.
Hope that helps!

Cannot sync movies to iPad 2

Syncing movies from itunes on mac OSx to kids ipads. ipad4 worked fine. Cannot sync movies with ipad2. Itunes recognises ipad2 and performs backup but will not sync movies. Had error message twice: sync failed as sync session failed to finish. Any ideas?

Without details, there's not much anyone here can do other than guess. I'd suggest you repost your question in the iPad forum, providing details such as the operating system running on your computer, what version of iTunes you have, and information about these movies (where did you get them, for instance), and someone there can probably help.
Regards.

Cannot sync movies to ipad

I am unable to sync movies to my iPad running iOS7. The movies had previously synced with no issues. I am not sure if this is an issue with iOS7 but did not have this problem with iOS6. I have tried different ports, updating iTunes & iOS, restoring and cycling power on everything.
The movies can be selected to sync but after sync they show up gray in the list under iTunes list of what is on the iPad. They also do not show up on the iPad.

I'm certain that the problem is from configuring the sync:

Cannot Sync movies with ipad

Hi!!!!
I have 2 Apple ID's, Some movies i buy it with eather id's. So, when i try to sync the movies doesn't appears some movies. However mi MacBook Pro it's authorize to play everything from 2 apple id's.
I check the movies, in the timeline appear de memory left, but when i click sync, the bar change, and in the "in this ipad" appears a circle in the movie that doesn't sync.
Someone can tell my how to fix this.
Thanks.

Well I have to see that as progress anyway as frustrating and and as ticked off as you understandably are. BTW - the acronym has been edited - but it would not have offended me I'm sure.
Is there any chance that you may have installed third party plug ins in iTunes - in your user account.? Did you get this far in that support article above?

Can't sync movies to iPad; can't share movies on network

On the iPad (with retina display), when trying to watch movies shared from iTunes, after selecting the shared library, the circle spins for a while until failing with "Unable to turn on Home Sharing". This started happening a lot recently, but I figured it wasn't that bad....I can just sync a few movies to the iPad, no problem, right? WRONG!!!! I cannot sync movies to the iPad either. iTunes just acts like it is doing something, then after a while it just stops acting like it's doing anything. The movies never sync. Also, if I deselct movies that are already there, they still do NOT get removed from the iPad.
You might ask how I got the movies there in the first place. This happened once already and I reset the iPad. I was able to watch one movie in my shared library before getting the "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", and I was able to sync 4 movies. That was it though, and all attempts to watch shared movies or to sync movies now fail. Funny thing is that when I reset the iPad I lost a lot of custom settings. I only got movies on it for a day biut I've been configuring my erased settings for a week. I have reset my account info for home sharing in the iPad multiple times. I have reset the iPad. As I said, resetting worked for a day or two.
Any ideas?

Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards - the supported profiles are listed on the this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
iOS 5 and the iCloud allow more to be done wirelessly

Cannot sync movies

I cannot sync movies from iTunes on my Mac to either my iPod Touch or iPad. The movies will play in iTunes, but when I sync my iPad, it skipps the step that changes what movies are on iPad. In fact, it will not remove any of the movies that are on my iPad, either. I've tried restarting my Mac, and that has not helped. I can watch the movies via the cloud, and can download them, but downloading the movies is very slow. I would appreciate any help.

Everyone try this,
When your iPod is connected to the computer, click the movies tab and click sync all movies. Then click apply at the bottom to put it in effect. After that, click sync and hopefully that should work. Good Luck!

Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized". What do I do to fix this?

How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"? How do I fix this?

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

Syncing movies on iPad without removing music and books?

I have an iPad loaded with music, books, apps and some movies, which I normally sync to my iMac. I am travelling and have a laptop with some movies that I want to sync to my iPad. Even if I just select the movies though and don't select any other sync'ing, the preview bar at the bottom of my iTunes shows all music and books being removed from my iPad. Is this the case, or is there a way to sync just the movies but keep all other existing media on my iPad (I know from the dialog box that all my existing movies on my iPad will be removed, which is fine but I want to keep the music and books on there).

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. As soon as I check the box to sync films, it tells me it will remove all the existing films on my iPad. This is fine and I'm happy to proceed but then the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows no music or books on my iPad. I do not have either the Music or Books sync boxes checked so it shouldn't be touching either of those areas and yet they both seem affected. I haven't tried running the sync as I am travelling and if those are removed, I won't be able to fix until I'm back home.

Syncing movies on iPad 2

Why is it that when I add a new movie to my itunes account and then sync my iPad, the iPad syncs every movie that was already on it as well as the new one?
I only have the "Sync Movies" and "Includes iTunes Extras" checked.

The problem is not with the conversion of the movie itself. The movie itself after being converted to the proper format works perfectly on the iPad 2. The problem is with the artwork associated with a particular movie. The only thing "custom" that I am referring to is the artwork which can be anything, any picture. When I am on the home screen on iPad I click the Videos app. The picture of all available movies on my iPad come up. Lets say there are 3 movies, all different (e.g. Batman, Ironman, and Superman). The artwork for all three movies will be the same. (i.e. Batman will have Ironman's cover art as will Superman. So it appears as if there are 3 Ironman movies all the same.) However when you click on the movie the artwork reverts back to the proper movie artwork. (i.e. Batman has Ironman artwork until I click on it, if you have used an iPad you know the next screen is an info screen with larger artwork. That artwork in that screen reverts back to the proper artwork for that particular movie. Batman previously showing Ironman artwork now has Batman artwork. If I hit back to go back to the main Videos app screen it reverts again back to the incorrect Ironman artwork for Batman's movie.) This is my problem. I've talked to some others and they have told me they have the same problem with Music artwork. How do I fix this problem? Again conversion is a non-issue, it has nothing to do with my artwork problem.
