DVD to PC to iTouch?

What's the best way to get a DVD movie onto my iTouch? I have the DVD, but have only used iTunes to get movies onto the iTouch so far.
Thanks

Is that called ripping?
Well if that's not allowed, I sure hope that they add alot more titles to their iTunes library.
Thanks for the reply

Docking the itouch to a TV which has ipod docking already

Can anyone reccomend a TV which has Freeview, DVD plus has ipod (itouch) docking already fitted?? Keep seeing lots, but unsure if any are any good with the itouch.

Just connect it to your computer, it will update automatically from your existing iTunes. Afterwards you can set it to whatever your preferred update method might be, selected playlists, manual etc. You may want to download the latest iPod Updater that was released recently iPod Updater 2006-03-23

Itouch 2nd gen. And itouch 3rd gen video

I have a 2nd generation and 3rd generation itouch. I have a dvd ripper program to copy my tv show dvd's to both itouches. The 2nd generation copies fine for viewing and sound. But the 3rd generation itouch gives me a green and pixelated screen, with good sound. My question is: What can I do to correct this or what is apple doing to fix the problem? My wife and I use the itouch to watch our dvd videos.

Unless there are multiple computers in the household containing media, home sharing provides no benefits.
Having multiple iDevices has nothing to do with home sharing.

Is it Possible to Make a Flash Playable DVD for the iTouch

Is it possible to make the same kind of "virtual" DVD player file in Encore for an iTouch audience that works like the Flash output in Encore?
I am under the impression that the 3G iTouch can play flash files but if that is not correct then I guess my question is no applicable. I just felt that some interactive linking would be possible since the iTouch is equipped with a WiFi connection to the internet. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!!

John,
You know that Encore has a FLV output that produced a flash file that
behaves exactly as a DVD player with player controls. This is why I felt
that this was possible, the flash file is certainly not a DVD formatted
file.

Using Handbrake to burn DVD movie to iTunes to sync to iTouch

What steps do you take to burn a DVD movie to iMac iTunes so you can sync it when iTouch is hooked to it?

Burning is creating a CD/DVD as when you burn the disc with the laser.
RIP is getting the stuff off a CD/DVD.
It is illegal to RIP DVDs to your computer (even if you purchased the DVD), therefore cannot be discussed in these forums.

Is it possible to copy a DVD to my itouch?

If so, how?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

Can i download a dvd that i bought onto my itouch

I went and bought a concert DVD and i want to put it on my i touch.
Is this possible,what kinds of software do i need,I'm running with windows vista.please someone help.
thanks H.

I'm afraid that ripping of commercially released DVDs can't be discussed as that involves breaking the encryption on them which is illegal in most countries.

Get all content from iTouch to a new computer.

My problem is very simple to explain, but I find no solution.
My old computer is damaged and I cant use it anymore. So I bought a new one and I want to get all my stuff from the iTouch to iTunes on me new computer. After installing iTunes I actived in iTunes my iTouch for iTunes. In iTunes I get the massage that now two computers are actived (5 are possible).
So I connect my iTouch with the wire to my computer and I get the massage that my iTouch is logical connected with an other iTunes libary. I get the only possibility to delete my iTouch and syncronize it with the content of the new iTunes libary.
*My question is how can I get my content from the iPod touch to iTunes on my new computer?*

Hi,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
So, in a perfect world, you would restore your library of valuable music from *your backed up files* to the library on your new PC, you know, the ones burnt to DVD/CD or on an external HD.
This is the way iTunes works, it makes it perfectly clear and actively encourages users to *back up your music*.
The iPod touch is not a back up device (nor is it advertised as one) it is a music player with a volatile memory that could actually disappear at anytime so it should not be trusted as a store for valuable files.
To salvage your music you will have to use some 3rd party application on your PC/Mac (you fail to say) such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.html], Google for other options. This is not guaranteed to work but hopefully you will get your music back.
Then back up.
Good luck,
Dud.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

ITouch to iPad - Contacts/Calendar transfer should be a no-brainer; isn't

I've got an iPod Touch, which I'm very pleased with, and I bought an iPad for those times when I didn't need the portability of the iTouch and/or I wanted a bigger screen to work on. Though of course, the iPad has lots of other nice attributes.
The iTouch has my Contacts on it, and my Calendar, with lots of appointments and stuff. I figured it would be easy to sync/transfer them across to the iPad. I figured wrong
I guess Apple still think of these devices as driven off a PC with iTunes, as the early iPods had to be. But, apart from my music, this isn't the case; the Calendar and Contacts on the iPod Touch are typed in there, live there, and aren't synced with anything on the PC. I hope they are *backed up* on the PC, in case of loss, and can be restored from there; but this is all.
So I get the iPad, and I'm still reeling from the fact that it will do nothing without first being connected to a PC (although it's got wifi, even 3G in my case, and can perfectly well get apps and music independently of a PC), though I can see that a PC connection, in good time, could be useful.
Particularly to read my iTouch's backup and sync the stored data to the iPad's Contacts and Calendar. You'd think perhaps; but no go.
Contacts; needs to go via a Windows Address Book. So for the very first time, I sync the iTouch with a WAB, trembling slightly with the fear that iTunes will say 'Oh, let's copy this blank address book all over his existing Contacts'. But it didn't, and all went well.
Apart from the Contacts being sorted all wrong now on the iPad, causing my wife to declare it unusable, until I found that, miles away from the Contacts app, under the Settings app, I could change the default (First, Last) sort to (Last, First). Sheesh. What usability expert decreed that the settings for an app should be anywhere but in that app?
But the Calendar is worse. Apparently, I can only sync it via Outlook, 2003 or greater. So I've got to find a portable DVD drive, plug it in the netbook the iPad is synced with, load up Office, install Outlook on the netbook, which it's never had and doesn't need apart for this, and hope I can get the Calendar part working (or at least installed) enough for this sync, without having to pretend to Outlook that I'm going to connect it to anything.
And thank goodness I've got a free license slot on Office, so at least I don't have the buy the thing just for this - but I'm aware not everyone will have.
'All' that then remains is to sync the iTouch into Outlook, and then sync that out into the iPad.
All of this is not the straightforward user experience I might have hoped for.
Is there an easier way? Someone please tell me there's an easier way.
But I think all this points to a growing disconnect here that Apple needs to get its head around. Early iPods needed the mothership of iTunes on a PC, or they could do nothing at all. The iPod Touch, with wifi, got closer to severing the umbilical cord, but still couldn't quite manage it.
The iPad, with wifi and 3G, should be able to sever the link completely, but it can't. Yet?
And with this historical dependence on the iTunes PC mothership there seems to go the continuing presumption that the iDevice is the slave in a master/slave relationship.
This started to break down when iDevices started being able to get stuff on their own, bypassing the mothership, but I feel like I'm way ahead of Apple in thinking that my iTouch, and especially now my iPad, ought to be a lot more autonomous than they actually are.
But enough polemic. My question is Contect/Calendar transfer, as set out above;
is there an easier way?
Someone please tell me there's an easier way......

MobileMe is $99 a year, but yes, it would meet the needs of the OP very well as well as add some additional features such as iDisk, find my iDevice, mail, gallery, and bookmark syncing for safari and with iOS 4.2 on the iPad in November, it will sync notes as well...

Family photo DVD - save to MacBook Pro?

I have a photo dvd that someone in my family had made at some photo store who took slides and placed them on a photo dvd. I want to upload that dvd into
my computer so that I can use the pictures for family geneology etc. How do I do that?
I don't see any options from within the DVD menu.

You will need a program called Handbrake. Search Google for it.
Once Handbrake has created the file then you should be able to add that file to iTunes and sync to your iTouch.

How to ADD NEW music to itouch?

What is the process of adding additional songs to the itouch without erasing the current songs, movies and photos?
Every time I try to sync it say's everything on the itouch will be deleted.
The current library has been deleted or removed from my PC but still on my ipod. I just want to add some new MP3s without deleting those already syncd on the touch.
Thanks!

Dr. (If you are a doctor...)
Aside from that whole conversation above, what you are doing will, sooner or later, lead to extra stress in your life. The iPod was never intended as the primary storage device for your music. At some point you will lose it all. How can I say that with a straight face? Because in the troubleshooting tree for every single iPod error is the step "restore the iPod". Once you get to that point, all the music on the iPod will be deleted. And at that point it is unlikely you will be able to do a backup as the iPod is not responding.
Once it is restored, it will look to your iTunes library to repopulate itself...only to find no music there. Then you are back here in a foul mood moaning about how evil iTunes is and that Steve Jobs should be in jail, and that nothing is going to bring back Jericho on CBS. (well, you get the picture)
I'm asking you to prevent all that (except maybe the Jericho bit. It's done. CBS won't bring it back again). Please, please, please make a backup of your music. I'd love to say keep it on your computer, but I know that's a losing argument. Maybe pick up a cheap external drive? I got a 500GB USB for well under a hundred. Chump change next to what we all paid for our Touches. At least, burn all that music to DVDs. There are some great apps out there that can help you get the music off the iPod so you can do this.
Anything so what when you are faced with the dread restore you will be able to easily reload the iPod. Without spending hours waiting for your optical drive to re-process all the albums. Please?

Existing music from iTouch to iMac

Hello,
We have recently purchased an iMac and I want to sync the music from my iTouch (not purchases) onto the iMac but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this. I can't work out how to get everything into the library so I don't lose it when I perform the first sync. The purchased stuff is already showing up. Will I have to load everything again?
Thanks

Hi Bear and Tiger! Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum.
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other content (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

Why are the drivers missing for importing and burning cd's and DVD's after a new installation of the software?

I have just downloaded iTunes for 64-bit Windows 7, 7 times and I and got this error message:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall."
This is a new hard drive, and there are no other CD burning software installed other than Windows Media Player which was pre-installed...There has never been any conflicts with any of the other previous versions of iTunes with WMP. I have reinstalled iTunes about 7 times and have come to the conclusion that the software is faulty, because all 7 times, I continuously get the exact same error message. This version of iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone, iTouch, iPad, or Apple TV. My music however is stored in the cloud, but having to constantly download 6,000 plus songs over and over again is time consuming and really a waste of data.
Are there available drivers that can be downloaded to remedy this problem, and if so, how can I obtain them?

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

So why did apple decide to only let 2nd gen itouch go up to 4.2.1?

I was having glitches with apps like facebook and a few games. So I finally decided to restore and update after a few years without doing so. Now complete I can't download most apps because they require iOS 4.3 or greater. Is there any way around this? And if not, it seems pretty stupid that an update would inhibit my itouch.

Like any and all software driven devices, computers, tvs, dvd players, cars, etc, the older hardware cannot run the newest software forever.
Software constantly requires more from the hardware.
