Copying a video from my ipod to Itunes without syncing entire Ipod

I have 3 ipods on one computer. I want to copy a couple of videos to the Library but don't want my ipod to sync with all the library. I tried the manual thing and tried to look at the ipod as a hard drive through explorer but I don't see the videos. I don't want all the kids stuff but they want a couple of the movies that I put on mine. Can i do this? How?

iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes:
Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to iPod when you connect it to the computer.
Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to iPod.

  • I can't copy a song from my PC to itunes or to my ipod

    For some reason I can't seem to copy files from my PC to iTunes or to my ipod.  I've trid drag and drop,  add song and add folder.  None seem to work.  Please help!!

    I have checked the "manual" add and delete box.  When I check the sync box the alert box comes up and says that the system will automatically delete everything that I have on my iPod and I don't want to have to go back and reload the songs and books that I have already on the iPod. What am I doing wrong?

  • Old iTunes deleted, new iTunes doesn't have all of my music, can I copy music from my iPhone to iTunes without syncing

    Help, computer returned from being fixed, everything has been deleted. Can you import music from iPhone 4 into new iTunes (old iTunes deleted) without syncing phone.

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

  • HT2715 How can I get a playlist from my iPod to iTunes without syncing to my whole iTunes library?

    iTunes on our computer has at least 2000 songs and I previously went through it and made a playlist of about 700 of songs that I like, so everytime I wanted to add the songs that I like onto another device I would not have to go through 2000 songs again. Sadly I directly put my playlist onto my phone which gave me all of my music but an extra useless playlist that included all of my songs, so I deleted it off my iPhone. This wasn't a problem until I reconnected it to my computer. Because I deleted the playlist off of my phone it also deleted it off of my itunes on my mac as well as deleting multiple random songs off of my phone. Luckily I have the playlist on my iPad and it would be great if I could find a way to get it from my iPad back onto my iTunes. PLEASE HELP ME!

  • Playing iPod through iTunes without syncing - is this possible?

    My iPod is sync'd with my laptop at home, but I would like to connect my iPod to my laptop at work and use it through iTunes. I don't want to sync them because I don't want to install 2,000 songs onto my work laptop. Is it possible to leave my iPod connected through USB and play the songs through iTunes? Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play.
    IBM Thinkpad   Windows XP  

    "Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play"
    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. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

  • IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

    When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
    iPod touch 5g, refurbished
    iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

    As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.

  • Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

    hey joe,
    i have this problem too. i use snowfox coverter, and then i used to drag and drop or import using the drop down menu. now it's not letting me do either. so i emailed support at snowfox, they said that itunes is rejecting the conversions for some reason. they told me they're gonna issue a new release of the snowfox converter, so.. we'll see i guess. sorry i don't have a solution for ya. just wanted to let you know i'm having this problem too but it seems to be the converter i'm using. what kind of videos r u trying put into itunes?

  • Copying a video from Youtube to use in Final Cut Pro

    I have an old final cut pro that I us for charities and non-profits I think it is version 5.1.7.  I have never had the money to upgrade and now I do not have any disk or material for the program, only what is on my system.  Now the question.  I have a charity that has ask me to pull a video off of Youtube that they cannot find the original.  What is the best way to copy the video from Youtube and download it to my desktop and get the best quality to use in final cut pro.  Thanks for your help.

    Just use OSX:
    Command - Shift - 3 will take a full screen snapshot
    Command - Shift - 4 will let you draw a rectangle around the portion of screen you want to copy
    Command - Control - Shift - 3 will copy the full screen to the clipboard (to be pasted in another app)
    Command - Control - Shift - 4 will copy a selectable portion of the screen to the clipboard
    Preview is set up to receive clipboard images — just select New from Clipboard from the File menu (or command - N). You can then export in a variety of formats.
    Most browsers let you right click on an image and select Save Image As... to any location on your hard drive.

  • Can not get a video from my PC into iTunes.

    I can't seem to get my video from my PC into iTunes, so I can play them on my iPad. I've tried adding from the library....nothing. I've tried dragging and dropping into iTunes directly from the folder....nothing. Am I over looking something? Please help.

    I have an iPad 1 and when I wanted to put a couple of movies on my iPad I found that it would not import them until I reformatted the video from the .AVI they were in to the apple MP4 format and afterward iTunes imported them and I ran the Sync to iPad function and they went right on without any problems.
    Hope this helps as Apple doesn't seem to want or care about supporting the iPad 1's. wouldn't have spent the money then if I would have know this would happen since my iPad is not quite 2 years old. I have a 5 year old Dell laptop and they still give total support for it and I paid much less for it !
    Good luck.
