Cant get videos on ipod

i bought 2 seasons from itunes and i cant get them on my ipod. this is the first time i bought any videos from itunes. i have tried converting them for ipod and it give me an error saying :
error occurred while converting the file "Smug Alert!". An unknown error occurred (-50).
Also, when i plugged in my ipod i got an error saying:
some of the videos in your itunes library, including the viedo "Stanley's Cup", were not copied to the ipod "xxx's ipod" because they cannot be played on this ipod.
im almost positive my ipod plays videos. Also when i look at my ipod under devices on the left hand side of itunes it gives me the otion to restore my ipod to its factory settings. im not sure if i should do that. any help would be greatly appreciated.

"im almost positive my ipod plays videos
If you're not sure which iPod you have (you need a 5th Generation iPod to play video) then have a look at this page and you can check: Identifying different iPod models

Cant get video onto ipod

Every time I download a music video from itunes, I'll try to load it onto my ipod, but a message pops up saying that the video was not transferred because my ipod won't play the video. I do have a video ipod (30 GB). How can I fix this problem?

Hi cdarb
got a 60Gb video ipod and can just drop from iTune into iPod
- in iTune program - my iPod appears in iTune library table so I drop
the movies into a title "video" that appears here
- or when made a movie in iMovie 6 - just Share to iPod.
Works like a charm.
I always update when my PB G4 says so. AND I run the update under the
Apple on my lap-top now and then to keep it up to date.

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.

i have tried all of the suggested things and still cant get in the ipod

As instructed in the If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer section of the article, put it in recovery mode and restore:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Never used itunes before, have downloaded a song onto laptop but cant get it in ipod nano please help

New to itunes managed to download a song to laptop but cant get on to ipod nano(plugged into laptop) or iphone or ipad

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06

Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06,please help

This is usually the result of trying to convert a "muxed" (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) source file. QT Pro, QT-like applications, and those that depend on QT tools all suffer this problem. Use an MPEG based third party application to perform your conversions. Many Windows users are using Videora Converter for this purpose. Do a Videora search in this forum for more information.

Cant get videos to play on my phone

cant get video to play on my phone

This video was acquired or originated where?
If from a video camera or a video acquired from a source other than the iTunes source, is the video in an iPhone compatible format?

TA44551 i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

As I said in my previous reply:
You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you

i Have a video i downloaded of the net and i cant even get it into itunes to put it onto my ipod!
i have a few different movies and i cant get any format into itunes!! some one please help me!!!!

It might help if you first understsand what the 5th gen IPOd can play and what it cannot. Then you'll find out that your videos will need to be converted using a combination of different software depending on your video files format.
IPod can play the following video formats:
H.264 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
MPEG-4 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
What are your videos files fomat? MPEG, WMV, AVI MOV

Can't get videos on iPod

I got the iPod with video and when I first started using it, any videos in my library automatically would sync to my ipod. Well, I deleted a few videos from my library, thinking that when I plug in the iPod it would delete those few videos from the ipod. What I found is now that I have NO videos on my ipod although there are several in the library, and the Video and Photos tab in iPod preferences AREN'T THERE ANYMORE!!! I can't change any preferences in iTunes that have to do with video, and I don't know how to get the video functionality back, and get videos on my iPod! Any suggestions would be great...

I just wanted to let everyone know I found a solution. I could never reset my iPod with the iPod software on my main computer (with my library on it). I moved the iPod to a different computer and ran the restore function through the iPod software. It erased everything, and set it back to factory settings. Now, when I plugged it back into my main computer, iTunes worked correctly! I'm not sure what happened in the first place, but this is my only suggestion if anyone else runs into this problem. It seems to be a problem with iPod rather than iTunes

Cant get my my ipod shuffle to load on to my imac computer

i cant seem to get my daughters ipod shuffle to be reconized to my imac computer. im not sure if its because the thing is dead. i alos didnt get a disc with the ipod i bought it off ebay about a year ago.im kinda stumped on this. please help. thanks!

You don't need any disc, and I don't think it came with one. You just need iTunes.
This document shows the four shuffle types. Which one do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
Depending on shuffle model, you may need a later version of iTunes. Is your Mac's OS 10.5.8 (Leopard), as shown in your profile info?
If it's 2nd gen, you need to use the cable that came with it (it has a mini-dock at the shuffle end), or a compatible third-party replacement. The cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle fits, but does not work, because the connector is different.
When you connect it, does the light on the shuffle do anything? If it comes ON, describe what it does.
