Games and tv shows will not transfer to ipod

ever since i bought a new computer(which also has windows vista)im having trouble adding tv shows and games to my ipod.i had no trouble with songs but ive tried authorizing computer and manually managing music but no luck. anybody?
toshiba v1.10 Other OS windows vista

update on this... as I thought the "windows" format might be causing the problems, I restored and reformated to Mac... now when I try to copy my TV show, <show> was not copied to the iPod... because it cannot be played on this iPod... though it is a video ipod, 5th Gen, which it told me during the restore, I am guessing that it will NOT play HD video... interestingly boring sort of. Oh well, guess I will have to plug in my iPhone or iPad to do this, at least I know why now!

Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

Okay, here is the problem:
I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
Help!

I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
Help!!
Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)

After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed, movies and tv shows will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer. When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times. Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

HT203180 Apple/ITunes, needs to let people know BEFOREhand that HD movies WILL NOT transfer to iPods. Purchase ONLY SD, NOT HD if you want to transfer them! What a pain to find this out AFTER purchasing 11 movies in HD!

Itunes movies in HD will NOT transfer to IPODS. Apple/Ipod need to make customers aware of this little "glitch" before they purchase HD movies, not after purchasing 11 of them and not being able to transfer them. Watching on the computer is not my first choice!

I am not sure if this will help - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209.

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

Mp3s in Library will not transfer to iPod

Yesterday I used Real Player plus Audio Hijack pro to download a series of BBC comedy programs (from BBC7). The MP3 files were stored on my desktop. I double clicked each one and iTunes (v 5.01) opened and imported them into the library. I dragged them into existing playlists where they played perfectly on the computer.
I then connected my iPod photo and it went through an automatic update. Two of the newly downloaded files did not appear on the iPod. When I "get Info" about the files that did not transfer, they are located in the folder: iTunes Music: Podcasts: Unknown Podcast: file1.mp3 and similarly for file2.mp3
Each one appears as an MPEG audio file with format MPEG-2 level 3. Several other Real Player downloads from the same source work fine on the iPod. They are also MPEG-2 level 3 but are in folders other than "podcasts: unknown podcasts.
No matter what I do, for example deleting the two files from iTunes library and then dropping them manually on the library or on the playlist, they end up in the same unknown podcast folder.
Is there some specific reason why two of my files would go into this "unknown podcast" folder ? Is this the reason they will not transfer to the iPod? Is there some way of forcing them into the music folder? (No they do not show up under the Podcast playlist).
Am I on the wrong track completely?

Curt;
Thanks for the suggestion. I have checked the two offending files and there seems to be nothing different about them. They were digitized at 64 kb/s - the same as the others made on the same day which transfer to and play on my iPod. I have even selected them in the iTunes library and used Advanced--> convert to MP3. They get resampled and converted to 128 kb/s (and the size of each file doubles) but the result is still the same - they go into the Unknown podcast folder and will not load on my iPod.
The thing that seems to be different about them is that they automatically go into the podcast folder rather than into a music folder.
The iPod is using version 1.2 software and my iTunes is version 5.0.1

The screen with the plug pointed to itunes is frozen and my computer will not recognize the ipod

The screen on my ipod touch has a pic with the plug pointed to the itunes logo and it is frozen. The computer will not recognize the ipod anymore. I had updated the itunes to the latest version and the it was in the process of updating software in the ipod. It said that the download could not be completed. This is a new ipod touch.

Backed up itunes library from old comp-movies and tv episodes will not transfer to new computer.. help please

Hi. I bought a new computer due to several problems with my old one. I backed up my old itunes library on an external harddrive however while my music and apps transfer flawlessly itunes completely ignores me when i click on the movie files and/or folder. Any idea how to fix this ? I have roughly 4-5 movies on my old library and about 5 tv episodes.. and none will transfer to my new itunes.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Wonder if you have followed this article to copy your Itunes folder over:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

If so, go and look under this iTunes folder structure and check if your movies and TV show are there:

Installed tv series and one show will not play

I feel like I am getting the run around...
I downloaded to my itunes and installed on my ipod the tv series Big Bang Theory season one. Out of the 17 shows one will not play. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times with no sucess. I have sent itunes the problem and they allowed me to redownload that show. Still with the same problem, I have installed the new download on my ipod and it will not play. After writing to itunes with my problem they tell me I need Apple ipod support, and gave me the telephone number to call...After calling and waiting on hold for 5 minutes I am being told it is an itunes problem not an ipod problem...I then decided to install it to my husbands ipod and the one eposide will not play on his ipod either. Any idea's on how I can get this to play?

hmmm, did you get 2 versions? With some moveies you get an HD version for your TV/PC, and an SD version for the iPod. I've only gotten the free TV episodes they give away, so don't know if this is normal for TV shows.
All I can think of, is make sure it's an SD version that goes on the iPod.
edit - on 2nd thought, you obviously know what you're doing if you can get the other shows to play. I would just keep after them. If you have an email with an Apple case number, keep replying to that.

I can't download tv shows or rented movies. My iPad indicates that I have 1.3 GB available and even though the downloads are less than that, the movies and tv shows will not download and the message I get says I don't have enough available storage.

Also, I bought additional storage but it shows up in iCloud and does not alleviate the need for additional storage for videos. What can I do to get additional storage to download rented movies and tv shows?

In General you need 2 to 3 times the Space of the Download File size.
If you are getting the Not Enough Space message... you will need to Delete items to create sufficent space

Try this... launch iTunes on your computer. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Then try transferring iTunes purchases (only) from the iPod.
