Have converted videos to MP4 - Can't get them to iPod - Please help!
I know there are threads on this subject already - why is it soooo **** hard to get a personal (non iTunes video) onto a new iPod?
I have converted my videos to MP4 - I have them in the Videos main folder - when I update....nothing happens. Why??
Can someone please help me with this... Why would Apple make this so hard?
Thx
So can you see the thumbnails in the video folder? If so, try dragging the thumbnail onto the iPod icon and see if it works that way.

Videos converted to MP4: can't get them onto iPod
I have converted videos from YouTube via tubeget.com to a mp4 format using my PC. They appear in the Documents --> Videos folder on the PC, a Windows Media program.
I can see the files in iTunes when I try to add them to iTunes using the “Add file to Library” option under the File menu in iTunes. But when I click on the mp4 file I can’t get it to transfer over to iTunes. That is, when I click on the file via “add to Library”, the file doesn’t appear under Videos in iTunes. And thus, of course, I can’t get the videos into my Videos folder on my iPod Classic.
The iPod is supposed to be a 5th generation. I bought it used from a reputable seller. It readily accepts music videos downloaded from the iTunes store, and it readily accepted a transfer of music files from iTunes to the device.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance for your help.
JayIf you don't see the videos in iTunes, that would be the initial problem, and that part is not related to the iPod.
You can use that Add to Library command from the menu bar, but it's sometimes more "informative" if you do it this way...
First, create a new playlist, so that it appears in the iTunes sidebar. If the iTunes sidebar is not visible along left side of window, from the menu bar under View, select Show Sidebar. If you have a lot of playlists already, you can start its name with an underscore (_) symbol, and it will appear at or near the top. Select that playlist in the sidebar, so that its content list is shown to me right (currently empty).
Then, open a Windows Explorer window that shows the video files. Drag one of the video files from that window, and drop it on the playlist (on the currently empty list). If that video file is compatible with iTunes (iTunes can play it), it gets imported, and it appears on the playlist. It also appears in the iTunes library, under Movies. Using a playlist as the place to "drag it to" just makes it easier to spot. If it works for one, drag the other videos you want to add, to the same playlist. On the playlist, you can edit the names as needed, and add other info such as Artist. Then try adding them to the iPod.
NOTE: You can select multiple files to add at the same time and drag them all at once. You can also select the folder that contains the files to add, and drag that folder to the iTunes window.
If the video file format is somehow not compatible with iTunes, you will not able to drag them to the iTunes window. Well, you can drag them there, but they will not get imported nor appear on the playlist. And that would be the problem to solve first.
Either way, you'll be a step closer to figuring out the cause of this problem. -

Thank you for your question,

Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.
You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app. -
I sync'd it yesterday and today, then when updating it today its restored to factory settings and all apps, photos and texts have gone. looked in the i tunes library and in windows explorer (tells me last sync was 3 months ago!) to no avail. now when i try to restore it on itunes a box appears with there was an interruption with restore then a new box with the message restore error. any help greatly appreciated
"Any hope?"
There was if you used any of the backup strategies you listed in your first sentence. iTunes functions as the backup software for your iOS device. MobileMe similarly aacts as a backup if you need to restore your phone.
Since you chose to work without a safety net, it would seem you have lost all the contacts. That was a risk level you were comfortable enough with. The important take away here is that all computers need to be backed up. And there is more computer in your iPhone than the computers that flew a space ship to the moon. -
It's weird as I did back it all up and whatever I try it doesn't work! I spoke to apple and they wanted to charge me!!!!
Your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - when you log in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer, your contacts are available there?
Your contacts are not available with an address book app on your computer? -
Hello,
All my Contacts from iPhone 5s and also from iCloud disappeared yesterday. Can I get them back?
Please Help.If you begin syncing contacts with iCloud you will be given the option to merge your contacts with the accout. If you do, your contacts will be uploaded to the account and will appear on both your phone and hers (if she is sharing the same account/ID). Be aware that if you do this, if she then deletes your contacts from her device, they will also be deleted from yours and they will be lost. For this reason, it's usually recommended that different users maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, which makes it easier for users to restore contacts from iCloud.

I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad. I have consulted the Help section, but the videos do not appear in the iTunes library as movies.
Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to import the videos.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone.
After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!)
Is there any way I can get my songs back?
When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
ThanksIf you have a unencrypted boot hard drive and willing to buy another external powered drive and $100 software, the files can be recovered using this method and Data Rescue.

my ebay toolbar and the ebay logo that was in my system tray at the bottom have both disappeared when I installed FireFox??? How do I get them back? Please help.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
