HELP newbie please......... video wont seem to move to the ipod from itunes

got 80 gb 5th gen. slowly building up music playlist and also photos. no probs syncing them up as i progress.
But as I placed a small video off my hard drive into itunes. the itunes plays it.. but when the ipod syncs up, no video seems to go over to the ipod.
Any ideas. Ive read what I can. but it seems that it should juts move over like the music does. can anyone give me an easy a to z check list to follow please?

What are the specs for the video? (video and audio codec, data rates, etc.) iPods support fewer formats than can iTunes, so you may have the video in a format the iPod can't play. Here are the formats an iPod will support:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
ive even dragged across manually to the ipod when its showing up as a drive on the desktop.
That won't work even with a compatible video.

Help! I can't get three movies that I purchased from iTunes to sync with my iPod classic. Anyone have any suggestions?

When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes, it doesn't download three movies that I purchased from iTunes. Anyone have any idea why and what I need to do about it?

We could if we had a little more information.

Cannot move songs to iPod from iTunes

Never had a problem before manually managing music on my iPod. I have recently had an issue pop up to where i can no longer drag my music files over to my iPod icon in iTunes to transfer music. iPod shows up and plus icon appears when I drag the files over but no transfer.
Newest version of iTunes, iMac, OSX 10.5, iPod 5G with the most up to date software.

I feel your pain. I have the same issue. I went through the 5 rs, that didn't help. Went to an Apple store, they were able to update songs on a Mac but I have had no luck with windows xp. I watched it run through my entire library and thought it had worked but didn't.
Apple wants me to bring in my pc. Its too big of a hassle. I'm out of patience.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

My ipod syncs but will not show anything or play any music or videos.I have tried everything possible,rebooting the ipod reinstalling itunes but no matter what I try it will not show music or videos on my device,it keeps telling me it is empty.Help!

Ok my ipod touch syncs but not properly,I see a little icon on both itunes and the ipod rolling,itunes shows me that I have less memory available on my ipod after I sync which coresponds well in terms of memory with the ammount of songs I am loading to the ipod but I never see what I think I should see when I sync which is "do not disconnect......".

HT1351 Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

Try here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

Can't Put Movies On The iPod..........THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF VIDEO IPOD

I've tried everything to get movies on my iPod. I bought $30 QT PRO because I was told that that has the only format that can import movies on the iPod. After I bought it I tried to use it but I get an error -43 messege. Next I was told to then download videora so I did and when I converted it into an iPod file but I couldn't find out how to get it into iTunes. Now I am being told videora doesn't work. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET MOVIES ON MY IPOD OR HOW TO GET MY MOVIE TO SHOW UP ON ITUNES.

For $30 I bought a program called DVD to Ipod Converter from cucusoft.com and it works perfect. I have now converted 18 dvd's since Thursday and each are perfect. I have my files set up when I double click they automatically open with iTunes then I hook up my iPod (its set to manual) and I just drag the file over the top of the name of my iPod and it loads to the ipod.
They have a free trial version you can try first but it puts a watermark on the file such as "Trial Version" but you can at least see how it works without spending money first. There is a Suite Version to do different types of files but I only needed the DVD converter.

Since my update, when I try to view videos(rather I already owned or just rented from iTunes) the movie starts playing then I get a pop up can't download view. I've reset my settings, still not working.

Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download:

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

You can try 2 things:
Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.
