You have to go to the advance option on the tool bar and select convert to iPod. And that should work. I have done it with some videos, but have not been able to get audio on my iPod. Hope this helps

    Add them to your iTunes Movies library and then sync to iPod. Make sure the format is compatible with your iPod

    how do u get movies on your ipod? i hav a 30 gb video ipod, so i can, but i cant figure out how. i've tried looking it up but it says nothing. pls help

    First of all what to you mean by Movies? If you mean commercial releases that are issued on DVD, then you have to use software to rip and convert these to an iPod supported video format. There are a number of Windows compatible programs to do this, Video Vault commercial software is one, the free program Videora is another. After that, follow the instructions here to import them to iTunes and your iPod: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt12.html

  • How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle?

    How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle???

    Hey wolfpro55,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    To copy audiobooks or podcasts to the iPod shuffle, it must be configured to manually manage music. Once configured, you can drag and drop different podcasts/playlists to the iPod shuffle.
    Fore more information, see this resource:
    iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
    The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
    For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Getting movies onto your ipod

    I can't get my premiere elements movies onto my ipod classic (80Gb) - I can drag the movie into i tunes and watch it using itunes, but when I sync my ipod, it says it cannot synchronise the movie - anyone solved this problem?

    Depends on how you're doing it, William.
    The program will load the file directly to your iPod if you use Share/Mobile Phones and Players and then select iPod from the options.
    You mention synchronizing, which seems to imply that you're using iTunes or other software to transfer the video to your device. If so, that could be a lot of issues, including what format of video you've output from Premiere Elements.

  • GETTING MOVIES ONTO NEW IPOD 5th Generation

    I would like to know how to get movies that I have already downloaded from another website onto my IPOD. Also, how do I get movies from the ITunes Store when all I can see is Podcasts and no movies/tv shows.

    Apple has not secured the right to distribute tv shows or movies outside of the US. So no tv shows or movies for you.
    To move video content onto the ipod it must be formatted as MP4, complying to these standards:
    Video formats supported: 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
    To do this, you need a transcoder(also called converter).
    Recommend 2 different ones:
    Mpeg streamclip(Mac and windows) http://www.squared5.com/
    Media coder(windows) http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

  • Hey how do i get movies on my IPOD?

    Hey I was wondering if there is anyway to get my legitamently purchesed DVDs onto my iPOD? I woulsd really love to watch a movie I have already paid for on my iPOD. Can I use iTunes to import the DVD like a CD or do I need another program to get the information onto iTunes and into a playable format on my iPOD. You will have to excuse me I am new to the iPOD video and have never really had a reason to learn how to put video on to my mac, so I don't really know where to begin.

  • How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
    The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
    With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too.  I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly.  I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes.  I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
    Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
    Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

    Hi hobbss,
    It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes.  You can access it again by following this:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:

    I provided a link to a 90 minute sports show above.... Is there anyway I can get this podcast onto my iPod if it was not put into Itunes???
    Thanks

    Unless you can download the file to your computer and save it in iTunes, you won't be able to get those podcasts onto your iPod.
    It might be possible to record them, save them on the computer, add them to iTunes, then to the iPod-->but I do not know how you could do that on a Windows machine.

  • How Do U get Movies on Ur Ipod That Aren't From Itunes

    I dont want to waste my money on itunes

    With the correct software, you can rip DVDs you own. Do a google search for 'iPod video conversion' and you'll find a lot of suggestions. I wouldn't presume to say what would work the best for you.
    There are also a tutorial over at ipodlounge.com that will explain how to do it for free, but it's never worked very well for me. :/

  • How do I get music onto my iPod touch from my iTunes

    I recently got a Mac book air and when I plug in my iPod touch, it syncs into iTunes and everything but I can't put songs on it. I tried restoring it but it did nothing.

    When you plug your iPod in, click the iPod and then the "Music" tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all songs or if you only want selected/checked sonds, make sure you have the correct songs checked.
