Getting rental films onto Ipod classic?

hi,
Having successfully downloaded and watched a rental film on my Imac via I tunes (version 8.0.1 (12), i can not get the rental film to appear in the movies column, when syncing my Ipod.
When I go to the Movies tab on my connected Ipod, it just has the same old options of syncing all movies or unwatched etc. I had read guidance on the net saying this column should show two sub-columns saying purchased movies and rented movies, from there you can transfer the film/ sync it to the ipod.
Ipod is a 5th generation serial no. 8K7307BDV9R
Can anyone tell me how to get rented or bought films for that matter onto my Ipod?
Thanks
Tystie

A 5th Generation is not an iPod Classic, and the 5th Generation iPod cannot play rentals.

Getting Rental Movies onto my Classic

I manually manage my Ipod in Itunes and cannot drop and drag a rental movie onto my Ipod. Error message says that video cant be played on this Ipod. Do I have to Sync? Or am I missing something?

Because the rental option is so new, there's hardly any documentation about as yet.
There was an iPod software update to version 1.1 also released at the same time as the new iTunes to allow movie rentals on the iPod, did you update that also.
Check to see what's on your iPod in settings/about.

Error when trying to transfer movie rental to my iPod Classic.

I get the following error message when I try to transfer a movie rental to my iPod Classic.
Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to.
Anyone out here know of a fix for this problem?
Thanks

I pugged the USB cable directly into the computer and not the USB hub. That did not help. I also followed the suggestion in the article you sent me to. It suggested that I might want to restore my iPod. I did that will no luck either. I event double checked my receipt and discovered that last day to return my iPod to Target wast July 13. So now I don't know what to do. Apple also seems to no help. Their suggestion is to update my iPod, but it is up to date. I guess I won't be using my iPod to watch movies.

Can I get radio on my iPod classic? If so how do I do it? I play it from iTunes but don't knwo how to load it to my iPod.

Can I get radio on my iPod Classic. It is 80GB. I play iTunes radio and really like some of the stations but can't figure out how to get it on my iPod.

Alas, the Classic doesn't support radio. The basic classic can only play stored audio files. iTunes plays radio by streaming it over the network.

Can I use I tune match to get my music off iPod classic?

The iPod classic shouldn't be used to store the only copy of music or be considered a backup device. Put the music on a regular external drive or DVDs.

Loading cd collection onto ipod classic 80g

ihave 700cds to load onto ipod classic 80G via itunes but my computer only has room for approx250.Can i delete those 250 from my itunes folder and start again?how do i load them all?

To load them all you would have to buy an external hard drive to move some other things over from your computer or just have the music files on the hard drive. If you can only have 250 of them then here is what to try.
Import the first 250, then have the ipod on manually manage music etc... Drag and drop all the 250 CDs content to the iPod.
After done copying delete the files for the first 250 and then put the next set on and repeat copying them to the ipod, repeat this until all 700 CDs are on iPod.

Getting movies onto iPod Classic

I have just bought an iPod Classic and thought it would be useful to download some movies on to it.
It seems really straight forward to do when you read the manual; however I don't seem to have a "Movies" section in my iTunes store. Is this unique to me or to the UK? Can anyone help me, please?

When you click on the "iTunes store" within iTunes, the front page doesnt have a categories section over on the left that's labeled "iTunes STORE"? It should list "Music, Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, Audiobooks, Podcasts, iPod Games, iTunes Latino, iTunes U". There should be other sections on the main iTunes store page such as "Top Movies", "Top TV episodes", and "What's hot", etc., that all have some movie content in them.

I can't get videos on my ipod classic

hey sorry i'm quite new at this, but i'm having a little trouble with my ipod classic. i can't seem to copy video files from my computer to my itunes and then to my ipod. there's one music video that did get on my ipod but i don't know how or why it got there, and it's also without sound. would somebody please help me ?

This was my biggest problem when I got my first iPod (30GB 5thGen)... I thought that video's would just sync straight on there no probs, was I ever more wrong...
I got over this hurdle a few way's....
Mac: For mac you can download mediafork or handbrake, they will both convert dvd's and sum other files straight to iPod format... (although these take a while)... On a rare occasion I have got iMovie or similar,(depending on version of MAC), all you have to do is export as a Mp4...
Windows: Mediafork and handbrake both work gud,(but they take sum time), the one I found the best was Nero recode... It converts the video files "all" into .Mp4 ready for iPod viewing, it also puts your video's straight onto your iPod if connected...
There are sum other free converter's that will work gud, but the best ones are the ones you pay for... (unfortunately)

How do I get games for my ipod classic? the clickwheel toolbar has gone from itunes!

I used to be able to buy games for my ipod classic by clicking on apps then clickwheel games, this option has dissapeared from itunes, does this mean I can't get them anymore? or can I get them some other way?

Hmmm. I see. It appears they have removed the Click Wheel Games altogether. I can't find any documentation regarding its removal.
Perhaps you should give Support a call and see what they say.

Music onto ipod classic?

I recently aded all my music to icloud. I then wanted to add some new music to an ipod classic and it updated the ipod and erased all the music. Now it is only loading 350 songs out of the 7000 in my itunes library. It's about 35gb in itunes and a 60gb ipod. Why can't I load this musoc back onto the ipod?

You can't sync music from an iPod to an iPad.
If the music was purchased from iTunes then you might be able to redownload some/all of it (depending upon what country that you are in and if it's still in the store)via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. If you can't redownload it, and for music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), you will need to sync it to your iPad from your computer's iTunes library

Getting message saying my iPod Classic is synced to another library

I just bought this iPod classic last week and it's been synced to iTunes on my laptop twice now. Today I try and sync it and notice that the settings have changed. I try and change it from Manually Manage Music back to how it was and I get a message saying this iPod is connected to another iTunes library. Since I only have this one iTunes library on this one laptop I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone please help?

Hi Niel, thanks for your help - before i carry out the task can you confirm something for me. I have only one computer and as far as I know I have only one itunes on it, I have only upgraded it when i've been promted to. the link you sent me is talking about two computers - does this apply to me? sorry if this seems a silly question but I don't want to lose all the music from my ipod by hitting the wrong button! to confirm, all my music is on the ipod but has dissappeared from itunes (i can only see it when i connect the ipod, and then its faded and nothing happens when i click on it). how can i tell if i have another itunes library on my computer? many thanks.
