I had the same problem before and I found out that the problem is audio is in muxed format. iTunes was able to convert the video but not the audio. Try downloading the software in www.jodix.com (it's free) to convert your videos to MP4 format that is compatible with iPod.

Can't Drag and Drop movies onto iPod

I purchased a movie from the iTunes Store, which I downloaded to my Mac. I tried drag and drop the movie onto my iPod Touch (4G), and while it showed the little 'plus' icon over my iPod, it didn't transfer the movie. I made sure I had enough room on the iPod, I tried quitting iTunes and trying again, but nothing has worked. Of course, I can download the entire movie again from the iTunes store, but that's a lengthy process. In the old days I could drag pretty much anything from the Mac to the iPod. What gives? Thanks for any help.

First of all, if you try Sync , you will get exactly the same message: *"the movie <name> has not been transferred to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."* The message means exactly what it says. You may believe that the iPod should play them, particularly as Quicktime does, but the fact remains - it won't, which is why iTunes will not transfer them.
I don't manually manage, I only use Sync and my iTunes is littered with .mov files that will not transfer to the iPod because I get that message. I wish I had cleaned up iTunes as I went along because now it's littered with stuff that doesn't work (except in iTunes or in Quicktime).
As for .mp4 files, I cannot find one (at the moment) in my iTunes that has not transferred to the iPod - do you mean .m4v? I definitely have some .m4v files which will transfer and others that don't. I assume it has something to do with the way the audio is encoded into the video.

Problem downloading movie onto ipod

I do not want to download a movie onto my computer then sync to my ipod. I want to download it directly onto my iPod. Is this possible? My experience is exactly the same as the following that was posted in December:
"My new Ipod Touch will not finish downloading a movie I purchased. I keep getting the phrase "Download error. tap to retry" and it goes thru the same thing over and over again. I am at the point that i want to delete the file, but can't find it on the Ipod to delete it, it doesnt show up in movies. Help, there is 3 gigs of memory tied up in this. "
I have exchanged emails with someone at apple and have searched discussions, but don't see any help in bypassing the computer.

Yes, that, and I didn't want it taking up space on the desktop.
I gave up and downloaded it onto the computer. However, now that I'm trying to sync it onto the iPod, there is not sufficient memory. It appears that 3.4 gb is taken up by "other", I assume as a result of my trying to download the movie.
How do I get rid of this "other" that doesn't tie to anything that actually exists on the iPod??

Anybody got any suggestions??

If a movie plays audio but no video you need to change the video setting.
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
If there's video but no audio it's usually because Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Hello Andrew,
Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

Transfering movies onto iPod

I need some help getting a movie onto my iPod. I have the DVD and would like to put it onto my iPod but am having problems. Can someone walk me thru the procedure please. When I check whats on the iPod I can see a large file so I think its there but then I cant find it listed under "videos" or "movies" so I cannot access it to watch it.

Most people who post here asking about putting DVDs onto their iPod are talking about commercial DVDs. If you talking about home movies, then that's not a problem. (But I'm not sure about the steps to format them.) However, if you're asking how to transfer a movie from a commercial DVD (like Die Hard), we are not allowed to talk about that here because it involves breaking encrypting copyright protection on the DVD.
If you want to transfer home videos from a DVD you've made yourself, I suggest you repost and make it clear that's what you're talking about, otherwise, most folks here will think you're talking about commercial DVDs.

Looking for help with movie loading in a different spot every time page reloads.

Hello,
I have a Flash movie that I need to jump to a one of 6 chosen frames when say a user hits the back button or home in the site. I just dont want the same user seeing the flash movie replay in the same spot everytime they go back to home.
ANY help with this is appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
-Ann
Here is what I have scripted:
var numbers:Array = [2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485];
_root.firstTime = true;
if(firstTime) {
    firstTime = false;
    var frame:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.Length);
    gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]);
I have also tried this:
Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar+1);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
ASSetPropFlags(Array.prototype, ["shuffle"], 1, 1);
var Array_ar:Array = new Array(2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485);
Array_ar.shuffle();
index = 0;
function load_random() {
gotoAndPlay(Array_ar[index++]);
if (index == Array_ar.length) {
(index=0);
load_random();
But this keep jumping to frame 1 each time i hit back or refresh.
Thanks again.

That did not work. It loops back to the frame that it first loaded to not to frame 1 the beginning.
It tried putting gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]); on the very last frame, then I made a new keyframe after the very last frame and neither worked.

Help with folders on ipod

Okay, recently I ran into a problem where my ipod would randomly skip most of the songs on it. The song titles and song lengths were there, but it would just skip right over it. I told my friend about it, and he said that someone had screwed around with the folders you see when you open the iPod through My Computer (I have Windows XP). He suggested that the sources of the songs might have been messed around with and the iPod couldn't locate the source of the songs, and that I might be able to get it working if I could put the files and folders back in order. I was wondering of any of you could help me with this. These are the folders and the files inside the folders as they are now:
- Calendars: Empty
- Contacts: Empty
- Notes: One file called .DS_STORE (7kb), one called Instructions, and three word documents I saved on it.
- .Trashes: One Folder called 501: one file called ._501
- 501 (another folder called 501): contains one file called ._501 and another called .DS_STORE (larger at 22kb).
- Digidesign Databases: one file called ._.VolumeIcon.icns (1kb), one called .ipodcontrol, ._.VolumeIcon.icns (35kb), and one called volume.ddb.
That's it.
As I said before, my friend suggested that the problems I have with listening to some tracks may be caused by these folers and files being all out of place, so if any one could help me put them in their proper place, perhaps I could recover these songs. Thanks in advance.

If all your music is on itunes and that plays fine I'd just reformat my ipod and restore the music files from iTunes. I'm assuming that your iTunes library matches what's on your iPod - if it doesn't I would be retisent to try and recover what's on your ipod using one of the many third party tools to update /mirror iTunes.

Help with movie settings

I thank you in advance for your help with this!
My website address I have a question about is
www.holyredeemernorthbend.org
and I have a question about the movie section.
I am using iWeb to build my church's website. All is well except the movie page. I have only one movie uploaded so far, my old site had 6, each between 6 and 10 megs. On the old site I used microsoft Frontpage. The videos, all in WMV format, worked flawlessly. They used to download in Windows media player, and played immediately, but now that I am using iWeb they have to download before watching, AND if it is a Mac owner visiting the site they have to have flip4mac installed as a Quicktime plugin. PC users can't see them at all.
It's not a problem for me to export the videos in another format, I would just like some help with the most universally excepted settings. I don't care if it's Quicktime, Flash, or Windows Media. What would be best for most internet users? And, can you put a movie on an iWeb made site, that will load into Windows Media Player as an option to quicktime? That is to say if I were to give the viewer a choice.

iWeb writes page code that forces the QuickTime browser plug-in be used. Since your file is:
http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/Media/Father%20Kies.wmv in Windows Media Player format Mac visitors must have Flip for Mac (I don't use it) and PC users can't use QuickTime to view WMP files.
You can use iWeb to make a "direct" link (link to file). When the viewer click the link they would be able to download the WMP file. This would allow PC visitors to use Media Player and Mac visitors use Flip for Mac or Windows Media Player for Mac.
Since iWeb forces QuickTime formats you should convert from .wmv to .mov formats to make your work easier.

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

I NEED SOME HELP WITH UPDATING MY IPOD TOUCH PLEASE

i need some help with my ipod the version is 3.1.3 and every time I'm trying to update it says it can not be restored then it says unknown error so i need some help updating my ipod to version 4.2

If you mean you're trying to update your ios go to settings/general/software update. then you should see the latest ios just tap it and it will automatically update your ipod. If you're trying to restore your ipod (as it's not quite clear in your query) try doing it through itunes instead of on the device itself

Help with my itunes/ipod

Please can someone help......I am a complete novice with itunes and ipod and i seem to be having some difficulty....I have managed to download all my music into itunes and have also managed to sync the music to my ipod however everytime I try and add new songs it 'syncs' the complete library again and as I have so many songs it takes a very long time to sync (about 35 mins). I have tried setting up a playlist and just ssyncing the playlist however then all the other music disaapears from my ipod and only the few songs in the playlist remain. Does itunes have to sync everything everytime I plug my ipod in? Is there anyway that I can keep all my music on my ipod and just add new songs and not have to sync the whole library time after time? I would really appreciate some help. I have tried the online tutorials but they are not answering my question
Many thanks
Amanda

Depending on the size of your library, memory, processor speed etc, iTunes can spend a long time deciding which tracks might need to be updated on the iPod but unless something has gone wrong it should then only copy new or updated tracks and delete those you have removed from your library. My almost full 160gb iPod has just taken about 20 mins to sync, with only the last minute or so being used to transfer ~100 updated files.
If all your files are being copied each time you sync then I suspect the iPod library is getting corrupted. One possible cause for this is an irritating feature called write-behind caching. It could be that when you eject the iPod, iTunes decides it's finished and asks for the device to be disconnected when Windows still has data to write to the disk.
*Disable write-behind caching*
Right-click on your iPod in *My Computer* and select Properties and then the tab that says Hardware. Highlight the selection that says *Apple iPod USB Device* and select Properties. Under the tab that says Policies make sure that *Optimize for quick removal* is checked.
While I would generally recommend auto-sycning if it is not working well for you then you might try switching to the manually manage option in which case you get to control manually which tracks are added to or removed from the iPod. This can be a much faster way to add a few tracks but makes it much harder to keep information in the iTunes & iPod libraries in step.
