Error Message when syncing: "This video cannot be played on this iPod"

I have a video that in my library that won't sync on my iPod. The video is in M-PEG 4 format and plays fine in iTunes.
I've tried to re-convert the video in Videora, but the file doesn't appear in its location on my computer. I'm assuming this is because its already in M-PEG 4
Please help

Is it possible that the video is HD? I find that HD will not play on my 5th gen.

  • Error message when syncing photos/videos in iPhoto between iMac and iPad/iPhone 4S.

    I repeatedly get a message saying that "224 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information or for details".  I'm trying to figure out why this is happening and I can't figure out where in iTunes I can get the details the error message references.  Does anyone know how to diagnose?
    Please note: this is not a space/capacity issue.  I've already eliminated that as an issue. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?

  • When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

    When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine".  The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv.  The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since.  All my other downloaded films play.  I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7.  Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
    - itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
    - starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
    Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

  • Getting back the "this file cannot be played on an iPod" error message

    Apparently, my iTunes library contains some song files that are out-of-spec and unplayable on an iPod. When I first plugged in my iPod, I remember getting a message to the effect of "The file 'FOO' was not copied to the iPod 'BAR' because this file cannot be played on an iPod." This message repeated for several dozen files before I got annoyed and clicked the "Do not show me this message again" checkbox.
    Well, now I want to go through my iTunes library and clean up these incompatible files, so I WANT to see these error messages again. Is there any way, perhaps by mucking with the iTunes plist file, of getting them back?
    Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!
