HELP! my Ipod doesn´t accept videos!

Hi everybody! I need help
I got a problem and I have no clue how to solve it, well it all start when I try to pass Videos, (movies, music-videos...) to my Ipod, even I passed them before to whatever format it ask me for, I think is MP4, it says that they cannot be played on this Ipod(even is a 30GB Ipod) and when I go to the video setting the video ones are like block! I´m sure is a Ipod that I can play videos on, why it dosen´t let me pass videos on?
thanks a lot for your help.

Just having your video in MP4 won’t necessarily make it compatible with the iPod.
Here are the correct formats for you:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
Now if you dont know how to convert video use this:

It's not really that good but it's easy and it's freeware.

Please Help! iPod won't play videos anymore!

I've had my 5th generation iPod for a year now and for the last 3 months I have not been able to get my videos to play. I have DVD's that I've burned as well as movies that I've downloaded. At first, only one or two wouldn't play and now I am down to only 1, out of about 20 videos that will still work.
When I try to play a video I get a black screen. I can adjust the volume and see that the video is there, but the elapsed time just stays frozen at 00:00. The only way to recover the iPod after this is to reset it by holding down the menu and select buttons. I've checked that the TV out is off and tried everything else that I can figure out to try. I have even restored the iPod and reloaded all of the content. Still, only that one video will play and all the others lock up the iPod. I've tried re-downloading the videos and ripping the DVD's again. I also tried adding new videos. The iPod syncs and the videos upload fine but when I try to play them… no luck.
Anyone else have this same problem? It's driving me crazy. Ready to go buy a Zune.

Hello,
Only i could say, that i have the same problem with my 30Gb iPod during the last two or three months. Just after syncing my iPod i was not able to see any video. In the beginning one restart of the device was helpful and video started playing as usual. Now does not help anything: either multiple restarts of the iPod, or restoring all settings via iTunes.
Since i have encountered this problem, i have not found any answer.

IPOD 5G NOT ACCEPTING VIDEO PLEASE RESPOND

I'm sure there has been multiple posts about this issues in the past but i need some help. When I try to connect my 5g to itunes it does not accept the video files but does accept the audio. I get a message that says "some of the files cannot be played on this ipod". What is goin on??
Can someone help me solve this problem or give me a link to past threads discussing and solving this problem?
Thanks.

My pleasure
1. Fist you you to the Movies tab, uncheck the check box "Sync the following...."
2. Click on the "+" button on bottom-left conner to add the movie. A dialog will open, search for your movie. 1 movie a time.
3. It will do the rest of convertion for you.
4. Look in to the folder where PSPWare stored the convertion files and take it (C:\Documents and Settings\....\My Documents\PSPWare\Movies)
5. Go to iTunes on File->Add files to Lib and look for the movie file you just converted.
It should show on the Movies section of iTunes, and it will copy to iPod next time you plug it in.
There are some more configuration in converting movie on PSPWare if you want to try it (button "Options..."). If not then you still get nice movies on iPod.
Goodluck, let me know if you need any help. Cheers

Help, my iPod doesn't sync all my music

Ok, I transfered my music from my old pc to my new mac, via my ipod. One problem when I went to sync my music back onto my ipod not all the music would sync. This message keeps appearing,
Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to
the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this
computer.
I've tried authorizing my mac, but it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I missing? Is there something else I can do? There are 100 songs that won't sync, most of which I purchased from the itunes store.
Please help, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

After fiddling with my itunes library i was able to authorize my computer, and then succesfully synced my ipod, thanks anyway

Disconnected iPod Doesn't Show Videos

I have an 8GB iPod mini and I'm trying to add a few short videos onto it. The videos have been converted to M4V's; uploaded to my iTunes and copied onto my iPod. Through iTunes, the summary of my iPod shows that they're there (Video 37.7MB); when I click on the Movies list they show up (though a couple of them have blue balls beside them while the others don't). But when I disconnect my iPod and go to the Video Playlist it says there's nothing there... what am I missing here?
Thanks for any help!

Oh. Maybe it's not a mini... I don't remember what it's called anymore! :P
Maybe it's a nano, because it does have a menu item called 'Video Playlist' (when not plugged into iTunes), and when it is plugged into iTunes it shows a 'Movies' menu.
I dragged the videos from my desktop to the Movies folder in the iTunes Library. Selected the videos from there and dragged them onto my iPod.

My iPod doesn't know video from songs

Suddenly, out of nothing, my 60Gb iPod with video forgot what is video and what is song. I used to have video lists and song lists. Now, they're all mixed up together in both sections. And it stopped playing videos. It thinks they're songs. It's very weird. The iPod thinks the first frame of the video is the album cover and starts playing just the audio... does anyone know what the heck is going on? Thanks

Thanks, but I'm trying to avoid restoring, because I lost most of the videos in there... I was trying to watch them before I restored...

Help! iPod doesn't respond

I plugged my iPod nano (1G) to my computer and it didn't respond. I Tried plugging it to FireWire and nothing happens. I also tried holding the menu and center keys... nothing.
Please help!

Hi,
I think I found the answer...I had the same problem, and now my ipod mini works again.
How did you reset your ipod? did you just go the menu>settings>reset?...i tried that..and it didnt work.
I found another way of resetting. On your ipod, hold down "Menu" and the centre (select) button for a couple seconds until the apple logo appears. After that, connect the ipod to the computer again. Hopefully this works for you!

Please Help - New IPod doesn't work

My wife has bought me a 60GB IPod off the Internet for my birthday this week but it doesn't seem to work. I've never used one B4 so I've followed the basic instructions.
I've installed the software on my PC as advised and then connected the Ipod to one of it's USB ports. The Ipod screen lights up with a dullish grey/green colour and it makes a buzzing noise but nothing else happens. There's no text on it the screen nor any no icons showing any charging activity. I've tried several of the USB ports on my PC but it doesn't make any difference.
The PC doesn't recognise the Ipod in My Computer or Device Manager.
I don't know what type of USB ports I have but the PC is only a couple of months old. Do I need a get a separate mains charger or a Powered USB charger.
Anyone got any ideas?

I had a similar problem and resolved it by resetting the IPod.

HELP, my iPod doesn't stop the HDD scan

Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?

doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

IPod doesn't work need help

I have been trying to get my ipod to work by following the online troubleshooting guide but it doesn't help.
my ipod doesn't start properly it shows that file icon wioth the caution symbol, and sometimes shows a battery icon with that same symbol, when it connects it stays connected for a few secondsthen it restarts a there is a clicking sound coming from the ipod.
please help

Hello,
If you are getting the "sad iPod" and the iPod's hard drive clicking, these are both indicators that your iPod's hard drive is probably out of place. Before you go to Apple about this, try this and see if it solves the problem for you:
To get your iPod's hard drive back into its correct place, use you hand to tap it firmly on both sides several times, or until if you hear the hard drive stop the clicking.
This isn't a joke, because an Apple employee instructed someone to do this, and it has worked for many people ever since!
Also, have you seen these two helpful links yet?
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
Exclamation point and folder (post)
I hope this helps! Post back it your problem is solved or not..

I hope this helps!
The other option is to just kinda let it run itself out of battery, then see how it's doing.

My 60GB Ipod used to play videos but no it doesn't??? help!!!!!

Hi, there
my ipod used to play videos, i then didnt play one for a while and it now doesnt play them anymore..... it doesnt seem to update them onto my ipod....thanks

ok now are the videos that are not updating to the ipod the same videos that used to update to it? Or is it new content you have imported to itunes since you last updated the ipod with videos? Also, are these videos itunes purchased or user created content?
See these articles for information on file formats that will play in itunes and import to the ipod (note: itunes plays more file types than the ipod will load, so just because a video will play in itunes does not mean the file type will update to ipod)
Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod:

Can't transfer videos to iPod:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
Now once you have made sure that your videos are in the correct format and have been converted to play on the ipod, make sure that your ipod preferences are set to automatically update the videos. Or you can try manual mode and drag and drop em onto the ipod.
