Copying M4V to iPod Touch

I converted some video files to H.264 using "Handbrake". I copied some files and I watched them.
This morning I installed the new 3.0 firmware and iTunes 8.2. And now I can no longer copy my videos to my iPod. iTunes gives an error saying the videos are not supported by the device.
I used a program called "FileAid" to copy them, and I'm able to watch them this way... I can also stream them using "Air Video"...
So, why can't I sync my videos using iTunes ?

My iPod died while trying to update to 3.0, so I cannot answer your query. However, did you happen to have any problems PLAYING the M4V files - along the lines of your iPod crashing and restarting part way into a video clip?

  • I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch

    I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch.  It says the movie was not copied because it cannot be played on this iPod. My iPod was bought in 2009 and has the latest iOS 4.2.1.  I also tried sharing in all the different resolutions but none of them worked.
    What should I do?

    You have a 2G iPod and the can play/sync only SD videos.
    If necessary use a converter app to convert to compatible format. I use the free HandBrake

  • Is it possible to copy photos into iPod-Touch(4Gen) from PC(Win7) ?

    Is it possible to copy photos into iPod-Touch(4Gen) from PC(Win7) ?
    Thks.

    No, you use iTunes on either a PC or a Mac as the Apple article says in the link I supplied in my previous post.

    Thk you for the reply.
    I assume that the "syncing" you're talking about is an iPhoto/Mac feature.
    Unfortunately, I'm working on a PC(Windows7), and I can't find any of this in my PC iTunes.
    Could you confirm ?
    Thks in advance

  • Can't copy photos from iPod touch to Mac

    My iPhoto Library was on an external hard drive, which unfortunately my friend accidentally dropped, and it no longer works. Luckily, I have the photos synced to my iPod touch. Unfortunately, I can't get a way to import the photos onto my Mac., I've tried iPhoto, Preview, iPhone Explorer and Pod to Mac (which works, but I need to pay to copy them), but none of them are useful solutions.
    Does anyone know of a free application that doesn't require me to jailbreak or buy it that I can use to get my photos from my iPod touch onto my Mac (it can be Windows as well as I have a Windows computer)?

    Try this: iPhone / iPod Touch Backup Extractor
    See if you can find the folder containing your photos if you extract the backup to a separate folder. The photos will be reduced in size, but that's better than nothing.

  • Could not copy song to Ipod Touch due to unknown error (-50)

    I just received a new third generation Ipod Touch as a gift and installed the latest iTunes directly from Apple's website onto my computer (Windows 7 32-bit). I added my music folder to the library and imported an m3u playlist to iTunes. Then I connected my iTouch, followed the instructions to set it up, and then I wanted to sync my songs to my iTouch. I only wanted to sync the songs on my "Favorites" playlist that I imported, so under the Music sync settings, I selected the option to only sync selected songs, playlists, etc. and selected the Favorites playlist.
    Then I attempted to sync the songs, but only a few songs would sync before an error popped up saying that it could not copy a specific song to the device due to an unknown error (-50). This error sometimes repeats for multiple songs and then the syncing stops. Each time I try to sync it again, it might sync a few more songs, but will always be interrupted by the error, after which it stops syncing. These songs are MP3 files. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    I've managed to fix the problem and discovered the reason for it. When I dragged the playlist to the iTouch section in my iTunes (instead of pressing the "Sync" button) to sync the playlist to my device, it synced everything except for the handful of songs that were giving me errors. Then the error messages it displayed were more helpful in indicating what the problem was. They could not locate the song in the playlist on my computer because I had changed the MP3 tags a long time ago, sometime after I added them to the playlist, and it never updated. (Note: the playlist I was syncing was originally made in Zune player and then I saved it as m3u format) Hope this helps someone with a similar problem in the future.

  • Copy photos from ipod touch to macbook pro?

    I'm having the most incredibly difficult time trying to do this. When I connect my ipod touch (latest gen) to a windows machine, it opens up a folder with all the files on the ipod, including "camera" videos and photos. But when I hook it up to my mac, there's NOTHING. I can't even manually find a folder with the contents. I have screenshots and downloaded wallpapers on my ipod that I want to get out of the "downloaded" section, save onto my computer, and re-upload them to my ipod in the regular "photos" section.
    Can someone please tell me how to do this? I tried to google it and all I got were "free trial programs" and stuff like that. -_-

    Open iphoto, attach iphone, import photos.

  • My video files dont want to copy on my iPod touch 4G.

    I convert films to iPod format, but in iTunes when I want to sync films I have an error something like "cant copy because iPod doesnt playing this file"...
    Sorry for my English... I'am from cold Russia

It's difficult and strange way to copy films on iPod BUT(!) it's works! It's really strange... why my video after convertation in other programs(with default details and settings for iPod touch 4G) can't copy...

  • On my mac cached mailboxes copied to my ipod touch

    I have some mailboxes cached on my mac but they don't synch to my ipod touch v2.1 14 GB like my [email protected] mailboxes which do synch.Is there a way to synch both?

    There was a glitch I ran across in iTunes.  I had always had Manually manage music and videos checked and sometime betweein iOS 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1 there was an issue that caused the check to go a way and I could no longer manage my musically manually.  I rechecked the Manage Manually check box and got the message that it would erase all my music and videos.  I hate having the system manage this for me so I went through the painful process of re-adding all my music and playlists to my phone to get this feature back.  Since I did this I haven't had any problems but it was a real pain when I had to do it.
    There may be another answer to this but that was what I had to do to get Manual Music Management back on my phone.

  • Can I get a copy of the iPod Touch 4th Gen user guide on my iPod?

    Hi, I just got my first iPod a few days ago (64 GB model) and I wanted to know if there was a way to view the user guide on my iPod without having a wifi connection.
    Not every place I bring it will have wifi access, and I'd like to be able to have the guide readily available to read.
    Thanx in advance for any help.

    Hello Nyxx9,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One work around is to download a copy of the *User Guide* from Apple website. Then import it into iTunes (it will go into the Books category) and sync it over to your iPod via the iBooks application.

  • Album artwork not copying over to ipod touch

    Hi there, run into a bit of a problem, I upgraded to 1.1.3 (not 1.1.4 just yet), when I came to re-load my entire library back onto my ipod, it copies the tracks over but fails to transfer the album artwork for abou 98% of the albums.
    On my PC EVERY album has artwork as I painstakingly sat there for days on end downloading images and importing them to itunes via the "Get Info" section.
    How do I get the album artwork to transfer onto my ipod along with the tracks...?
    Thanks, dragon2309

    Same here. I spent all day today transferring my library from one computer to another and now this. Artwork shows in itunes but not on the touch...kind of stupid that the touch doesn't have the "display album artwork" option like all the other ipods.
    If someone has a way to fix this that doesn't involve removing all the music from the touch and then putting it back on that would be best.
