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.

  • 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.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • 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.

  • How to get dvd movies onto ipod with windows

    Okay, I have finally figured out how to get movies from DVD to ipod for windows users, and it's free, with no watermarks. It involves a 2-program process. First go and download Videora Ipod Converter at http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    Then download DVDFab Decrypter at http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
    Now after you have installed these onto your computer:
    1. Insert the DVD into your disc drive.
    2. Open DVDFab and open the DVD folder, video_ts or whatever it happens to be
    3. Select your target destination for the files to be saved
    4. Click start to begin copying the DVD.
    5. Once everything is done being saved open videora ipod converter
    6. Go to setup and select the one click profile which size of video you would like and the output of the files
    7. Go to convert and select new transcode video, find your video file and select open
    8. Wait for the file to be completed transcoding
    9. Open itunes and select file, add file to library, find the file(s) and select okay
    10. Most of you should know what to do form here

    For anyone who wants to get up and running, these are the settings I use for Videora.
    After days of experimenting, I settled on the settings below which seem to give a good balance between filesize and quality. There will be a bit of blockiness in the dark shadows but if it's too much, just increase the 'bitrate'. Experiment with a short video, but make sure the video you experiment with is very high quality or you won't know what is or isn't down to your settings.
    Again, don't use h264. Only Quicktime Pro has h264 nailed. You may be able to get some things to work in h264 but more likely, you'll be watching a movie and it will suddenly stop, or your iPod's hard disk will start munching away to a black screen. mpeg-4 works fine in Videora, always. No problems.

  • IMovie won't share/export my project as it says 'not enough disk space' - how on earth do I get this movie onto a DVD?

    I really hope someone can help me please?
    I have a 16GB iPad and have created a really nice wedding DVD for my sister.  It consists of about 20 mins worth of video clips and 25 mins of images set to music with movement between slides etc.  I have cleared absolutely everything off that's possible from my memory and I can't seem to get the iMovie project off my iPad!  My storage says that 8.7GB is taken up by iMovie and I've deleted all photos from my camera roll as iMovie can run the project without them, it doesn't cope without the video clips though (tried that!)
    I hve now tried exporting to iTunes and it says I don't have enough disk space - I don't understand how it can't just lift the project off my iPad without having to consume yet more storage?  I have also tried exporting to camera roll trying 1080pHD - too big.  It started on the 710pHD and got all the way through exporting (around 30 mins) and then at the end told me I didn't have enough disk space.  Funnily enough, iMovie was only taking up around 6GB of space prior to this, so it's storing this failed attempt to export some how but I can't see how I can get rid of that.
    I am heartbroken that I've spent three months doing this and now can't transport it from my iPad by seeminly any means possible.  I don't want to just give up.  I've seen other threads that say 'go to my computer and look in the DCIM folder and it's there... but it's not.  All the video clips are there but not the actual project. 
    Any help anyone can give would be so much appreciated.  Is there a way I can do this without essentially having to give up on apple products and buy some video editing software for my PC. Which isn't a MAC by the way.  As you can tell, I was hoping to screen this movie on Christmas day for the family :-(
    Jessica

    Are any of your apps video players? Some app store apps contain a file you can't see which saves logs of everything you do. Say if you have had an iPhone for 4 months and watched 50 videos with a video player these 50 videos may have been copied to the log file inside the application and may be what is using up all your disk space. Delete all video player applications from your iPhone.
    If that doesn't solve the problem copy the photos to your computer and restore your iPhone with iTunes back to factory settings and when you have restored DO NOT "restore from back up" because that might restore whatever is causing the problem instead DO "set up as new iPhone". Once you've set up your iPhone sync apps, books music, photos...etc back to the device.

  • Can't get a movie onto iPad

    I bought a movie on my computer and can't get it to my iPad(1st gen).  None of my movies will transfer from my computer to my iPad(no error - they just won't sync), so I had to open each movie in iTunes on the iPad in order to download it.  However, this movie was removed iTunes and is now being re-released in May, and when I click download, iTunes tries to make me pre-order it, and says I will be billed when it is released.  I have already purchased the movie so I am not going to pay again, but I would also like to get it on my iPad before May.

    It could be that the original is no longer available on iTunes due to the re-release, hence the reason why it is stil important to keep a backup of your files where possible.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Syncing movies onto iPod Classic/Video

    I seem to have some major difficulty with syncing movies and such onto my iPod.
    I got my iPod last year for Christmas (December 2006), and I have tried and tried to upload videos onto my iPod, except it always says ""-insert movie here- was not copied to the iPod "Fiona's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod"
    I don't really understand why it doesn't work.
    The article that Apple officially write on how to Sync videos onto the iPod DOES NOT WORK!
    Please tell me something useful to solve this problem, perhaps something you have done previously that would be of use?
    Thank you.

    You can try one of three things (or all three to find the one that works best for you):
    1. Right-click on the file in iTunes and choose "Convert video for iPod". It is a long process, especially for something longer than 20 minutes, and it doesn't always work in my experience.
    2. Buy a license for Quicktime so you have the options of QT Pro. Load the movie/video into QT and then export it into iPod format with the settings you desire, then re-add it to iTunes. This is basically the same as the first option, but a bit faster because iTunes itself pretty much will eat half your computer's resources just running idle. Give iTunes something to do, and it will start to huff and puff like a 400lb. linebacker running wind-sprints. But QT is much sleeker and does the job better too. Plus QT Pro lets you do some nice things, like editing your .mp4 & .m4v iPod movies.
    3. For what you're talking about, this is probably the cheapest and most reliable option - download and install [Videora|http://www.videora.com> and then convert the file in this program. Videora is fast, simple, and works pretty darn well. Oh, did I mention it's free and has frequent updates? It's great for converting those Quicktime movies that just aren't formatted right for the iPod.

  • How do I get personal movies onto my iPad without using iTunes

    Hi,
    I have several "movies" - like ones my kids made using iMovie on their their ipods, clips of my kids playing their sports, and other non-tradional films that i would like to keep and add or subtract to my liking from my iPad (3rd Gen). In iTunes i have pretty much "cut the cord" - the only items that synch with itunes are the videos that I mentioned (hollywood videos I purchse through iTunes I access through the iCloud now) and photos with Aperture. I really dont want - or need to synch with iTunes anymore - the user experience is so wonderful going with just the iCloud and my Dropbox. But I really want the freeedom to add a personal video to my iPad w/o having to synch - it takes FOREVER and always has a glitch of some sort.
    In case your thinking to just use the dropbox - I know that... but it is internet dependant then - and play back is not what i'd call "Retina worthy" - and you can't save Drpbox video to the iPad's HD.
    Does anyone have another method that is working for them??
    I love being "bareback" with the iPad and don't want to go backwards.
    Thanks in advance!

    UPDATED
    Background: You can transfer photos and movies made on your camera and recorded to an SD card directly into your iPad using an Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader.  So all you have to do is convince your iPad that the SD card with your other movies (ripped DVDs etc) came from your camera.
    1. Your movies need to be in a format your iPad will read - .mp4 or .mov work well.  For DVDs, you need to rip it  into .mp4 files - I use Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter which works well.
    2. Store these files someplace convenient on your hard drive.
    3. Rename the .mp4 files so they have EXACTLY 8 characters in the file name without any spaces (digital cameras create 8 digit file names).
    4. Format your SD card folder structure so that to your iPad, it looks like it came straight out of your digital camera.  The easiest way to do this, is to format the SD card in your camera and then take a single photo on the card.
    5. Attach you SD card to your computer (via a direct SD slot or a USB adaptor) and navigate through the SD card's folder structure to find the photo to took on your camera.
    6. Copy all the video files that you want to watch on your iPad to the SAME location as the photo file.
    7. Eject the SD card and insert it into your Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader and it into your iPad.
    8. Go to the "Photos" icon app (not the Videos icon app) and follow the usual transfer instructions from the iOS.
    Note that unlike movies in the Videos app from iTunes, the video files loaded this way appear only as a video icon with the time length of the file.  ie No files names are visible, therefore you may need to write a short note identifying each file name according to its play time.

  • Getting my movie dvd's onto my IPad.

    I have a large movie DVD collection, and would like to view my favorites on my iPad. These are MY movies, and I want to take some with me in my travels on my iPad. Are there any ways to get the movies onto iTunes, and then to my iPad?
    Help is appreciated.
    Dan

    I agree with you in principal, but commercial DVD's are encrypted in a way to prevent this kind of duplication - and a judge has recently ruled that you can not legally remove this kind of copyright protection, even if you only are doing it for personal viewing. Apple, the owner of this board, has forbidden the discussion of how break this law.
    Handbrake is a free program that allows conversion of movie types of all forms ... And I will say that they offer an explanation of how one might be able to deal with any other "complications" you are facing.

  • Getting HD movies from my Sony Nex-5 onto my computer...

    I've just brought a Sony Nex-5 Camera, when I upload to my computer only the photos transfer and the movies are left on my SD card...
    It's a great little camera but I'm sooo peeved as it says it's Mac compatible but only gives PMB to veiw movies which is only for Windows!
    Any suggestions on how I can get my movies onto my computer?
    Would appreciate any help at all xXx
    Lynne

    I have a Sony A33 DSLR and found it no problem to work on my Mac.
    When the card appears on the desktop, one can simply turn on iMovie 09/11, click on the little camera icon at the middle left, let it find your card, then import into iMovie in Apple's AIC codec.
    Then one can either edit it in iMovie, or navigate to the file in the finder (home, movies, iMovie events) and use that in iMovie 06 if one wants, though honestly, I have found it easier to use MpegStreamclip to take that file and transcode into a movie.
    I think the Nex-5 works the same as my A33 on a Mac.
    Here is something I taped on the A33 dlsr and put on YouTube, to show it works well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kobTRVlYQHM

  • How do I get a movie purchased on my 3rd gen Apple TV to play on my 1st gen Apple TV?

    I purchased and watched a move on my 3rd gen Apple TV a few weeks ago.  Now I want to watch it in another room where I have an older HD based Apple TV (1st gen I think).  When I look in iTunes on my computer, I can see that it's listed as being available in my account in the cloud.  I can't see it from my older Apple TV.  I don't want to have to keep this on my computer given it's size (5GB), so the solution of downloading to my PC and syncing isn't too attractive.

    AppleTV 1 is not aware of movies in the cloud so your only option to get the movie onto there is to download the HD version to iTunes and sync or buy it again direct on AppleTV.
    You may be able to do a manual sync, then delete from iTunes but next time you sync if the item is not in itunes it will likely go from ATV1.
    Remember ATV1 will not play the 1080p HD version as it maxes out for video decoding with teh 720p ones even thouigh it can be set up for 1080p upscaled output.
    Have you considered keeping larger items on an external drive ?  You can mix and match locations for media in various ways eg with smaller music files on the main hard drive (eg laptop) and larger video files on an external only available for playback or syncing when plugged in.
