HD tv show won't load onto iPhone4s?

i downloaded an HD tv show from the iTunes store to my iMac, and was trying to transfer an episode to my iPhone 4s. I received an error message that this phone cannot play the video.
Is this correct? I transferred the show to my iPad 3 without any issues.
Thanks for any help!

Well, it took me a while to find this support doc (and to notice the little fine print below that says 1080p currently won't work on iPhones - just 720p)

  • T.V. Shows won't load on Nano

    I have recently downloaded 3 t.v. shows from itunes music store onto my computer. When I tried to load onto ipod (nano 3rd gen. ) I get message "..not copied because it can't be played on this ipod..."). Other older movies and tv shows play fine. I can't figure it out. They are from itunes, completely downloaded and mpeg4. the shows play in itunes( on the computer), Software is up to date. Please help

    And they play fine on the computer? If so, you may need to contact the iTunes Store and have them resend you the videos:

  • Some songs won't load onto my iPhone 4 D:

    Please, I put about 300 songs in my iphone
    they all got sync., but when I want to add some more, they won't ''load'' in it; the little circle isnt fulled like the other songs did. I have enough space in my phone, and I already tried to put away all the songs and put them back. I closed my phone many times, and my computer too. I'm almost raging. help me.

    Hello lightninghbolt
    Try to remove the tracks from your iPhone by unchecking the Sync Music in the Music Tab within iTunes. You can also Drag and drop the tracks to your iPhone to get them to sync as well. It is also a possibility that you may just need to convert the songs to a different format and sync as well. Check out the articles below for all the steps need to troubleshoot.

  • Tv show won't transfer onto iPod

    I have a fifth generation (video) iPod and purchased a tv show from the iTunes store. The tv show won't transfer from iTunes to my iPod. My computer is authorized for the iPod. Any suggestions on how to transfer the show?
    Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    Ok take it step by step:
    1. When you connect iPod to iTunes do you see your video episodes there both under iPod and iTunes???
    2. I assume you will see them in iTunes but not in iPod.
    Drag one episode and make sure you cab see it there.
    3. play it from iTunes (under the iPod
    If it plays then th issue is with your iPod setting: It's set to be viewed on TV as external
    If it does not Then your iPod needs to be reset.
    Try the above andd let's see,

  • HT4059 I have ipod software version 4.2.1, but the iBooks app won't load onto my ipod touch 8GB. Why?

    As it says, the iBooks app refuses to load, even though my iOS version should be high enough. Any suggestions?

    The current version of the iBooks app that is in the store requires iOS 5+. Unless you downloaded a previous version of the app when it was compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have it somewhere (on your computer or on a backup) then you won't be able to install iBooks (only the current version of each app is in the store)

  • Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

    Hey all.
    I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
    I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
    However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
    So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
    I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
    Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

    What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

  • TV show won't load on Apple TV

    I purchased a season of a TV show and now I'm trying to watch it via my Apple TV on my television that it's always been hooked up to.  It is just spinning around "loading". I did the network check and it seems to be fine? 

    The network test on Apple TV is not an accurate indication.
    What is your current connection, use speedtest
    If on wifi try Ethernet
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise
    Make sure DNS is on automatic (settings - general - network)

    I tried to email the developer (Canada) but the email for technical support is not a good email. My email got returned to me undeliverable? Not sure what to do next? I also want to get the game going again cause I made purchases to get more coins to play the game & now I can't even use it? Very frustrating!!!

  • I tried to load the new firefox, it won't load onto my computer (mac osx) but it also erased the old firefox. Help!

    A window came up saying I needed the new firefox. When I tried to load it the window said I couldn't but to click for the most updated firefox. A dmg loaded, asked if I wanted to replace the old firefox, which I assumed I did. Now I have no firefox at all and can't get back to the older version that was working.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Movies won't load onto new Touch

    Made a "home movie" in iMovie and moved it over to iTunes. Works fine there. Son wants to put it on his new Touch and when I go to move it it gives error message and says movie won't play on this iPod. ??? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help, someday we'll get this and not have to ask a billion questions.

    select the file in iTunes. from the advanced menu choose to +create iPod or iPhone version+. try syncing the newly created file to the device.
    any help ?
