Getting Video from iTunes to iPod

I purchased an iPod for video. I've downloaded TV shows from iTunes but can't watch them on the iPod. iTunes says it can't convert the files.

Any videos you buy from the iTunes store will work on the iPod. If you're trying to put videos on there that aren't from the iTunes store and are not in the supported format, you must convert them. You can do this by right-clicking on the video in iTunes and choosing the option to convert to iPod video.
There are also many third-party applications that can do this as well. Search versiontracker.com for those.

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • How can I get videos from iTunes US, living in Switzerland?

    Hi guys =)
    I have already pre-ordered the iPod Touch and alomost can't wait until the 2nd October =P
    Well, I am a big fan of Dr House and Desperate Housewives. I saw that I cannot buy videos on the swiss iPod Store.
    I wanted to know how I could get videos from the US iTunes Store. Is that possible? And if it is do I need a credit card or a gift card?
    Hope it'll be clear enough... Usually I don't explain the things very clearly =P
    Thanks for your help

    Deggie - what is better fraud or theft? To get video content on my iPod Touch I'm going to have to resort to one or the other. Your ethical advice would be appreciated....I spent 500 EUR on this, now I want my money's worth.

  • Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

    I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
    I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

  • Can't get video from itunes to nano!

    Hi Everyone,
    I just purchased a new Nano (4th gen) and am very frustrated (may take it back) becuase I can't seem to get video (mp4 and/or m4v format) to load onto my nano. I have used Handbrake to convert from ISO to mp4 and can successfully get the video into itunes HOWEVER, i cannot get the video onto my new nano! There is no error message as others have posted, when I attempt to drag and drop the video it just displays the circle with line indicating its not possible to add the video to the nano!
    Does anyone know how to do this...I am so frustrated!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to AD!
    New nanos are set for auto sync, by default. With the nano plugged, in, go to the iPod's the Movie tab and tell it to sync that movie, instead of dragging it over.

  • Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

    I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

    All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

  • "Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

    Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
    I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
    I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
    Thanks for any info.

    Basics from the manual are:
    Restart, reset, restore

  • Why can't I drag videos from iTunes to iPod?

    For the last year I've had no trouble dragging a video-podcast from iTunes Mac to the iPod. Suddenly it stopped when I installed Lion (not Mountain Lion). Other podcasts still drag fine. Any ideas? Thank you. Don

    Even though the videos may be in an iTunes friendly format, they may not be optimized for playback on your iPod, which is why you are receiving this message.
    Try using iTunes built in converter to convert the video to an even more iPod friendly format. To do this, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu.  When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod.

    Hello marky_marc1979,
    Perhaps it would be a good idea to try and reformat the iPod using *Disk Utility*. See this article for instructions on how to do this.

  • How to get Artwork from iTunes onto iPod

    Hi everybody.
    I have uploaded quite a few Artworks in my iTunes and now have it set at: "Automatically download missing album artwork"
    This works wonders, but...
    How can I get it on my iPod as well? It doesn't seem to sinq by itself and when connecting the iPod I can't do the same in the iPod Library?
    I have set my iPod on manual as I have way more songs on my iPod then on my comp.
    So, how can I get the arwork from my iTunes Library onto my iPod library?
    Many thanx
    (have Windows and an 30G Video iPod)

    If the artwork is assigned to the songs in your iTunes, then it's added to the iPod when you transfer those songs.
    If you connect the iPod then click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
    "display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

  • Problem syncing video from itunes to ipod

    I bought two episodes of a tv show from the itunes music store. when I plug in my ipod to update, it says that "some of the songs in the itunes music library, including the song "brian regan," were not copied to the ipod "ipod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
    I bought these two episodes last night, on this computer, and I haven't connected this ipod to any other computers. plus, these are supposed to be tv shows... why does it say songs? I don't see the point in even purchasing videos if I can't put them on my ipod.
    can anyone help?

    Try playing the TV Show straight from your iTunes library. It will probably ask you for your iTMS login information. Punch it in, and everything should work fine.

  • How do I get videos from itunes to my iphone?

    Okay so, I have videos uploaded to itunes and they are under the films tab, but when i sync my iphone they dont go to my videos? Does anyone know how I can get them to my phone? thanks

    No - that is your iTunes application preferences.
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes, select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list to bring up your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes in the main iTunes window. Under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Sync Movies and select the movie or movies below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
    Have you never owned and iPod? If so, the same applies for syncing an iPhone with iTunes as with an iPod.

  • What am I doing wrong when transfering videos from itunes to iPod?

    This is the message I am getting:
    SOME OF THE VIDEOS IN YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY, INCLUDING THE VIDEO..., WERE NOT COPIED TO THE IPOD BECAUSE CANNOT BE PLAYED ON THIS IPOD.
    I don't think I am doing anything wrong because I have used the same process for other videos and they play perfect.
    These are the steps I take to tranfer my videos:
    1. Convert videos using VIDEORA iPod Converter
    2. Play the viedo on iTunes to make sure it was converted right.
    3. Update my iPod.

    "the converted video plays, but without sound. it is the same on itunes and on the pod"
    You are trying to convert a MPEG file that is Muxed. Please read on how to tell what file you have:

  • CANT GET SONGS FROM ITUNES TO IPOD

    Someone please help me!! I got my ipod for Christmas and while at my parents house over Christmas break and used their computer to put all the cds in sight on it.... well now back at school I am trying to use it on my actual computer and itunes will not let me use my ipod unless I erase the current nearly 2000 songs!! I keep getting a message that asks if I would like to erase all the current songs and set this itunes library as my permanent one. I would really hate to do this, is there any way around it? There has to be something, what about people that use their work computers or laptops and then their home ones. They can’t possibly be deleting all their music, or are you?

    You need to put your Ipod in manual mode so it won't erase the current songs.
    An iPod can only be "associated" with one PC if it is set for automatic update.
