Copying MP4 videos onto computer from iPod?

I use Podplus to copy mp3 format songs from my ipod, it's a very handy program. Unfortunately, it can't recognize or copy mp4 video files onto my computer. Is there a program out there that will?

On it's homepage iPodCopy lists transfer of videos as one of it's capabilities, I'm sure there are others as well. If you put "transfer video from iPod to iTunes" into your favourite search engine you'll probably get hits for a few more: iPodCopy
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod

I cannot copy mp4 video files to my iPod video

I am having a problem with my 6-month old (6 months since I bought it) iPod Video. Before, I was using iTunes 6.0.0.18 (earlier relase of iTunes), which was installed from the CD included in my iPod. I didn't have a problem except that that version of iTunes does not have video conversion functionality to formats that iPod supports (to .m4v format) so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.5.20) to achieve this. When I upgraded, it created a new problem - for some reason that I don't know, I can no longer drag .mp4 files to my iPod. Everytime I drag a .mp4 video to my iPod, I'm getting an error message - "Some songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "xxxx", were not copied to iPod "xxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod.". Can you help with that? Thanks

That error is saying that the format can not be read on your iPod.I get this message when adding my video's to iTunes. So you need to convert them here are converters

How do I copy MP4 files onto my IPad while travelling?

Hello all
I picked up my first IPad through work last week, and am still familiarising myself with the device. What I did manage to do is connect it to ITunes on my home computer and copy all of our childrens TV shows onto the device for our daughter to watch, and it all went smoothly.
I have a question regarding this process however. I tend to watch a lot of TV shows, and in most cases I wait until after the season is finished and pick up the boxed set, so that I can watch it when I want, without commercials. What I then do is convert them to (unprotected) MP4 files that I then usually copy to my PS3 to watch them on our TV. Just as a test, I copied a few onto the IPad and they look great, I could easily see myself using this device to watch shows while travelling.
However, our IPad is only 16 gigs, and in longer trips I would probably want to take more shows than that would allow. I also have a 1 Terrabyte portable harddrive though, that I can fit ample amount of shows on.
At the moment I have only connected the IPad to one computer running ITunes, which is my PC at home. However lets assume I was travelling, and had both my external hard drive and IPad. What would be the best solution for copying movies from that external harddrive to the IPad to allow me to watch additional shows? Unless I'm mistaken, I can have up to 5 computers authorised with my account. Would it in theory be possible to find a PC, authorise it to my Ipad, copy the files over and then deauthorise that PC? Or if not, what is the recommended solution?
Apologies if this is common knowledge, I'm still a newbie.

Even though you can have your iTunes account authorized on 5 computers your iPad can only be linked to one computer. If you used another computer to copy your content from your external drive you would have to Restore the iPad with the computer erasing all other data. The process will allow you to backup then Restore to that back up but it will not contain any of the media files you wish to keep on the iPad. This is why it is important to get the most storage on an iOS device you can afford.
You might want to look at something like Kingston's Wi-Drive which is an external drive your iPad can access through wifi. http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless#wid I don't think it has any integration with iTunes but you could put a copy of the videos you wish to take with you then play them on it it's app.

How to transfer videos onto iPad from multiple computers?

I have an iPad mini. Most of the time, I don't use it with a computer, but occasionally, I need to load videos onto it for editing. I have two comptuers I need to load videos from (work and home). Do I understand correctly that this is not possible? I can manage media from multiple computers via iTunes, but it appears that the only way to get videos into the camera roll is to actually sync with iTunes? And that's can only be done with one computer at a time? And that changing which computer I use wipes the iPad?
I've tried both Google Drive and Dropbox as well, and while the videos do show up and are playable, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the videos out of either app. The videos are in MP4 format.
Any advice?

One work around could be: say you sync with comptuer A, use dropbox to get the videos from B to A, then iTunes to get them from A to your iPad.

Deleting videos and pic from ipod

How do i delete photos and videos from my ipod?

The same way you got them onto the iPod, via the sync process in iTunes. To remove photos, simply remove them from the folder you have your iPod set up to sync photos from on your PC.
For videos, simply configure your iPod's Movies tab to not sync them.

Same mp4 video plays fine from one drive but not recognised from another??

Everytime I drag and copy my MP4 video files from my internal drive to an external one, it then no longer plays from the external drive. The external drive is working fine, and if I render the video directly to that drive, it previews and plays fine. This only happens to MP4 files I copy from internal drive to this external drive
Something seems to happen to the file when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it.
As I drag it I and when it lands in the folder I copied it to, the preview thumbnail is here for a split second, then switches to a regular QT icon - when i try to open it, it then says file format not recognised - even though the exact same file plays fine from the original location on my internal hard drive
This is driving me mad - any ideas - must be something simple?
Any help really appreciated

I used MPEGStreamClip to transcode the audio file to AIFF (over 1500 kbs @ 48khz) with better results. With the iTunes volume set at full and with the volume adjustment option set at 100% (which is 50% above flat), the AIFF file played through iTunes, produces about the same decibels as playing the file through VLC with the VLC volume at full.
Thanks much for your help.
I believe some of the problem is with the original file being a bit too quiet to begin with. Putting it into analog terms, it's kind of like a 1 watt pre-amp signal when it needs to be a 4. Do you know of a way to increase the audio output level through the cable box fire wire port so it can be captured at a higher audio level to begin with?

How to update new computer from Ipod

My old computer died and I have downloaded itunes program to my new one. However when connecting my ipod I am told that my ipod is connected to another library. This seems to mean I cannot access the old library to reorganise and add to it etc. It will not allow me to transfer from the ipod to the new library. How can I transfer my old library to the new computer?

How do i get videos onto the new ipod?

haven't been able to figure out how to get videos onto the ipod. tried to click and drag a home video into the video section but that didn't work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
also, where do i go to get an episode to download onto the ipod?

Hi Sebastian,
Use iTunes to put videos onto your iPod. Make sure you have the newest version (by pressing Help, then selecting check for iTunes updates).
Once you are sure you have the newest version of iTunes, just press File -> add file to library, or drag your video file onto the iTunes library. Then all you need to do is update your iPod.

Transfer ALL songs/videos to new computer from ipod?

i got some of the songs on my ipod from a cd... my old computer died and i sold the cd... i transfered everything i purchased from itunes from my touch to my mac, but it wouldnt transfer those songs, but they are still on my ipod.... how do i transfer them all? also, i have family guy episodes i got from itunes on my computer that wont go onto my ipod, and i have non itunes downloaded family guy that wont go onto my mac.. how do i get everything on both?

For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
