Cant sync iTunes Videos to my NEW 80gb Classic!

Just hooked up my new 80gb classic to iTunes for the first time and all my music loads just fine. However, I bought a handful of music vids and a couple episodes of Entourage from iTunes and they refuse to sync. Itunes gives me the "not the correct format" error. Did I just throw away $20? What can I do to resolve this?

I'm sorry, the error is actually something to the effect of "your iPod does not play videos"

Super-slow sync on brand new 80GB classic, randomly disconnects

Got a new 80GB classic today and it is REALLY slow at syncing, granted I have over 3000 songs to sync but my old 20GB U2 iPod did not take over 8 hours to upload all these songs and this new classic has already given the message 'Ok to disconnect' twice, as if the sync is complete, which is isnt. It doesnt get anywhere near halfway the 3000 tunes. I am not using a 2.0 USB but this was never an issue with my much older iPod. I cant even leave the comp on all night to take care of the sync because I know i will wake up to an 'ok to disconnect' message with about half the songs on the Pod. I think the iPod itself is slow, as the clock on it doesnt match my desktop while I watch it sync, its only just caught up the what the time was 5 minutes ago, and before this it was over half an hour behind. The yellow sync logo moves really slow, should it? maybe my comp is just too old to handle so many songs and such a new iPod, haha.

we purchased a new 160GB Classic 3 weeks ago and it was working fine up until this weekend. Now we're encountering the following problems:
- iTunes can't remember the library location and keeps changing to the default location
- iTunes and Windows don't recognize that iPod is connected
- iPod won't synch
- there are corrupted paths in the library file (weird characters at random places in path)
I've installed the latest Windows updates, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, run regclean.exe, and fixed the library file paths.
Still, when we attached the iPod, we have problems. When I look at the Task Manager, the services.exe keeps running.
Any help? my husband is ready to throw the iPod out the window.

As stated in the System Requirements, an iPhone 5 runs iOS 6. In order to sync to a computer you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later and iTunes 11 on the computer. If you can upgrade your MacBook to OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) you can purchase this version of OSX in the Apple Store. Most intel macs can run at least OSX 10.6.8. If your MacBook is a power pc Mac you are at the end of the supported operating systems and will not be able to upgrade the OSX or sync your iPhone 5.

Need to down load 10.6.8 to successfully download itunes 10.7, so that I can sync itunes account to my new iphone 5

Need to down load 10.6.8 to successfully download itunes 10.7, so that I can sync itunes account to my new iphone 5.
I am currently operating Mac os x 10.5.8.
What do I need to do???

If you have a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.
If you have an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

I cant sync. Videos with my Ipad

Hi
Plz help
I cant add videos to the iTunes library from my windows so i cant sync it with my iPad

I have the same issue too.   I have many (dozens) of movies that I have ripped from my personal DVDs.   For the past 18 months, I have been able to sync and play any of them at-will on my iPad (so the format is fine).
Today I tried to check a few to add (that I had on the iPad at one point in the past).    The iTunes interface on my WM7 PC went through the motions of synching ... the status bar on top even displayed the names of the 3 movies I tried to add as they were loading.   The iPad storage bar indicated that the 3 movies were loaded too.
But on the iPad - no.   No additional movies were showing.   Only the 3 I had added a few weeks ago during the last time I synched and swapped out movies.
This sounds almost like a clear case of a bug in the latest iTunes update. Oh did I mention that iTunes insisted on updating itself today?
*****.   Never thought I'd see such a blatant bug in an apple release.

Machine restarting when i trya dn sync with new 80GB Classic

I've recently purchased a new 80GB ipod classic. When i tried to sync it for the first couple of times it got to about 3,500 songs and then restarted the machine. This happened twice, and even though it said it got about halfway through my library there was nothing on the ipod.
Now it'll sync for about 5 minutes and copy stuff onto the device, but it will then restart the machine. I've ran checks on all hardware and can't find a problem. I've also update itunes to the latest version, and checked for any software updates for the device itself but can't see anything
Does anyone have any idea's. I had absolutely no problems with my 5th gen ipod, and that seems to work fine.

So I made an appointment at my local Apple store and was basically told, sorry, we don't know how to help you. He retored my iPod--since that was the only solution he could come up with. Yes, it erases everthing, but there didn't seem to be any other solution. He said there have been a lot of problems with the new iTunes, but this was the first time he had heard of this particular problem. Interestingly, the Apple store has not upgraded to the new iTunes, they are still operating on the older one.
So my iPod (and iTunes) worked well for a few days after I retored, but now iTunes is once again freezing. I don't think I'm going to connect it again until they sort this out. It took forever to reload everything back on my iPod after the retore!

Same file copying up to 20x throughout songs, albums artists and genres, when syncing itunes to ipod. Restored ipod classic 3 times in lastest itunes with a new user but no difference. Anyone had this happening?

Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?

HELP! I have just changed my email address ad now i cant sync my ipod with the new songs I have bought

when I changed my e-mail address and got a new computer so I have downloaded iTunes and it recognizes my iPod but when I have bought 3 new songs it wouldn't let me sync the songs onto my iPod. Have tried clicking 'transfer songs' but it wont work. I don't know what else to do these are really good songs AND I've paid for them and I need them for my work. Please help, thanks for anyone who does, lauren

So basically you are trying to sync your Nano on a new computer/iTunes library? iPods are designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.
To add new content to the iPod, you'll need to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes. However, if you have content on your iPod that needs to be copied to iTunes first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

How do I add Videos to my NEW 80GB iPod? HELP! I've been trying for days!!!

I purchased a music video and two TV episodes from iTunes. It a long time to download and after it was finished, it disappeared from iTunes. It wasn't found in iTunes or on my iPod. I also downloaded videos from a third party website, got the videos on my iPod but when I went to play them, it played as an audio file with no video showing. How do I resolve this?

Since you have a new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Now select Music in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window. If your purchase isn't there, go back to the menu bar click Store / Check for Available Downloads.
Connect your iPod to your computer. You should be able to sync your iTunes media.

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

Cant sync/back up iPhone to new computer

Hi,
when I plug my iPhone 4 into a new computer in iTunes it pops up saying that "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "Matthew". Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings.
I read through a few older posts where people had similiar issues and some folks had suggested backing up the iPhone and then restoring it, however when I right click on the phone under devices on iTunes the only options it comes up with it 'Open in new window' and 'Eject iPhone'
I do not have my iPhone backed-up anywhere else, therefore if I restore to factory settings I am going to lose everything.
Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

Instead of backing up to the computer, can you do a backup to iCloud? Assuming you have room in iCloud for your backup, and room on your iPhone to do the iOS update over-the-air, this should work.
But someday you're going to have to face the music when you connect your iPhone to your Mac, so get your library back in shape as best as you can.

If you right click on the vid in itunes and select "Get Info" you can see the path to where it is stored in the resulting dialog.
