How do I manually manage videos on my iPod Touch?

Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty new to this forum. I've google searched some issues I've had with my iPod and gotten answers here as a guest. This is my first post. I've already tried searching for similar posts using the search bar. So I apologize if this is a repost.
I have a 32GB iPod Touch. I have quite a few movies on it and it is getting quite full. I would like to remove these movies from the iPod without removing them from my iTunes library. When I click 'Manually Manage Music and Videos' in the Summary page for my iPod in iTunes, it doesn't do anything. I go to the movie summary and the only option is whether or not I want to sync my movies.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Charles

Swipe your finger over the movie on your touch. It should then prompt you to delete the movie.

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site.

I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

HT1386 How do I manually manage playlists on my iPod Nano? My iPod Classic get's a tab called 'On This iPod' in which I can manually manage playlists, my iPod Nano does not.

That is the option I get with my iPod Classic, from there I can manually edit my playlists as I chose.
However when I plug in my iPod Nano, I do not get that highlighted option. So how on earth do I manually delete or reorder songs on a nano playlist
(I manually manage the music on my nano, not auto sync)

You could just go to the top of the page and click the word ipod:

Then clcik the ipod nano forum

How do you manually manage podcasts on the Ipod?

I subscribed to a podcast on my Itunes but didn't want to Automatically Update because I had podcasts on the Ipod from another machine. I found I could click and drag the individual videos from the podcast from Itunes to the Ipod.
After that the videos showed on the big list in Itunes when I showed the list of ALL songs and videos on the Ipod. But once I ejected the Ipod and browsed the menu the videos were nowhere to be found.
I finally bit the bullet and said goodbye to my old podcast and selected "Automatic Update".... probably should've come here first. But does anybody know how this can be avoided?

Just rightclick the iPOd name in iTUnes, hit "iPod Options" and in the following window hit the sub tab named "Podcast" (Not the tab at the very top, the sub one beside musiv, video, contacts ect ect). There you can set the podcast to manual update while keeping everything else auto update like music.

Is it possible to manually manage music on the iPod Touch and still have your last played info updated?

Hi, I'm running low on my iPod Touch capacity so have set it to 'manually manage music'. However, when on this setting, it doesn't update iTunes with 'last played' information. Is there any way to enable this? I appreciate it's not a huge issue but it is something I ike.
Thanks in advance people.

How do i delete a video on my ipod touch?

I have 2 videos on my ipod and they wont delete!! i have them off on itunes but they ar still on my ipod even after re-syncing...HELP

If you are running iOS 5 or later:
Delete a video: In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.
Otherwise, you'll have to simply remove the video from your iPod via the sync process in iTunes. Double check your setup for syncing videos from under your iPod's movie configuration pane.

How do I add a video to my iPod Touch 4?

I've got some videos that I want to watch on my iPod.
When I press the synch button after I added them on iTunes, they won't appear in the Video app. I looked in the Music app as well.
Note: the videos are mp4's

MP4s are OK as long as the specifics are comppatible with the iPod model you have. See:

HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?

Edit: classic Apple.

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

There is no tab that says, manually manage video and music, only one to manage video.

How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

Rock,
I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
3. Right-click it. A long menu will pop up.
4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option. As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally). Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!
