Getting avi files onto iTunes

Please can someone help I feel like i've tried everything to make this work.
I have avi files on my hard drive and I want to be able to play them on my ipod. I have purchased quicktime pro ( which incidently also doesn't work) to try to convert them into ipod video files by exporting them. This only seems to loose the picture and place gaps in the sound every few seconds.
If there is anyone who can help i'd be really grateful.

Here it is ! how to get AVI files onto ipod !!

Well yes I could make a tidy sum and sell this information but I am happy to contribute this greater knoweldge just knowing it will bring an end to a great deal of frustration as I was one of those frustrated people untill late this very afternoon. (only joking - although I was one of the frustrated ones ).
I did a google search for dvd decrypter, downloaded and installed and then went to the following link which gives you step by step instructions on how to transfer any video file and then transcode it using Videora which I did myself and can happily say that I have sucessfully transfered an AVI file (home movie) onto my ipod without any trouble at all.
sorry I havent gone into more detail but there are detailed steps on the instruction guide.
see link below and this will resolve all your problems.
P.S the only note i can add is that it would appear that dvd decypter can only take in a file from a dvd disk and not hard drive so you have to put your file onto disk first.
good luck I managed the entire process in around 1 hour that`s from finding the software in the first place to haveing the file on my ipod.

I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
Thank you.

iPads sync to 1 computer only.
All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

i tried several times to import my mp4 files onto itunes but failed everytime. how to overcome this?

1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

Is it possible to import an avi file into iTunes?

I am trying to import in a TV show that i have downloaded as an avi file into iTunes. However when i try to import it nothing happens, if i try and change the file format into a mp4 it wont recognize it. Does anyone have any ideas?
I can not find it in any other file format anywhere online.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Export the OMF from an audio app like ProTools or Logic as a stereo pair AIFF, then use that with your video. Chop it up if you need to checkerboard.
Of course this will only work if the audio is very simple - overlapping audio will mess you up. If you can figure out the audio app part, you can split up your OMF into separate tracks.
But then if you can't get it into an audio app, you're a bit hosed.

No, it is not possible, but you can always download any video converter. Or open your AVI file with QuickTime.

Importing .avi files in iTunes

Hi,
iTunes and the iPod will only play mp4 files. You will need to convert the .avi files to this format in order to play them.
You can do this by opening them in Quicktime (if you have Quicktime Pro) and choosing File/Export/Movie to iPod.
Look here for other converters - http://www.versiontracker.com/php/qs.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=avitomp4&srchArea=windows%7Cwin-all&submit=Go
