How do I put video footage into itunes so I can then put it on my ipod?

Hey guys,
I got an ipod nano 3rd gen for Xmas, and although I have sort of worked out how to put songs on it, and some photos, I would like to put some footage of my children on there. My video files are all .MVI
The problem is firstly I think I have to convert them to a certain file?? And then how do I put them into itunes? I am having so much trouble with it all, I just feel like taking the silly thing back to the shops. It works fine, but am having a huge amount of trouble trying to figure everything out.....

Niel - Thank You!!! It has worked....finally....
But now that I have converted the clip to sucessfully play via Quicktime, and managed to somehow get it into itunes, when I click and darg it over, it says it cannot be played on my ipod and so I have right clikced and selected Convert t Play on Ipod. Will see how that goes and let you know if it was successful.
I thought that by converting it with The MPEG Streamclip, it would automatically work.
Errghhh, I hate all this stuff!

Putting video files into itunes

I've tried again and again, but I cannot get my video files into itunes.
It wont work with my .avi files, my .wmv ones or anything apart from MPEGs.
If someone knows of some way I can convert my files into a compatible one, or any other options available to me?
Nick

iTunes (or Quicktime) doesn't play back avi's by default. There are some workarounds, which may or may not work (I have mixed experiences).
First of all, install Perian for Quicktime. This allows you to play most video&audio formats which QT doesn't play by default (except windows media & real media).
From here you have 3 options:
1. Install Xcode. Then, in terminal do this:
+SetFile -t "MooV" YourTarget.avi+
This tells your Mac that it's a movie. You'll have to navigate in terminal to your file though.
Then just drag & drop into iTunes.
*2. & 3.* Open your movie in Quicktime Pro and save it as a QuickTime Movie (either referenced or self-contained). There also is an "utility", movie2itunes, which does the referencing automatically & you don't need QT Pro. Again, just drag&drop into iTunes.
Note:
- Most of the time this works for me (I'm using movie2itunes). Recently I've gotten some files which don't work in iTunes, but do in QT.
- There is no such "cheat" for iPods, you'll have to convert.

How do I put video that I have shot on iPad then put on my PC, back on the iPad

I shot video on my iPad 2. Then i needed to retore the iPad. So first I connected the iPad to my PC, waited for the hard drive to pull up, opened the "view files on devise" option, went in and found all the pictures and video I had taken and saved them to a folder on my computer. Now the iPad is restored and I am trying to put them back on the same way I got them off, but I am having no luck with that. I need the video clips so I can use them in iMovie. I can't figure it out, so if anyone has solved this I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks.

I've never tried that. I really don't know if it can be done - try the iPhoto discussion board at https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto.
Good luck,

Video Tutorials into iTunes?

This may be a simple question, but I'm wondering how can download the video tutorials into iTunes so I can watch them when I'm not hooked up to the internet. Most of my 'down' time is spent in places where I have no net access, and it would be nice to be able to watch these tutorials then.
I'd be grateful if someone could explain how I can do this, or point me to a place than explains this.

If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

I have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

i have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

You can't. Kindle is a different ecosystem than iTunes. Generally, you choose your book ecosystem and you stick with it or you have books in both (or in several).
There is a Kindle app for the iPad and iPhone that is just as good (and in my opinion substantially better) than the Apple iBook app.
Most purchased books (but not all) have Digital Rights Management that prevent them from being shared or moved easily. Books purchased on iTunes are meant to be used on your iPad with iBooks. Books purchased on Amazon Kindle are meant to be used on your Kindle apps.

How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4S to iTunes so I can then transfer to an iPod?

Hi there
I hope the above makes sense. I have over a 1000 songs on my iphone but 400 in iTunes. I want to upload my iPhone library to iTunes so i can then sync with a new iPod?
Please someone help...
Thanks

As I said, you can transfer itunes purchases.
As everything else came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there, and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

Can u tell me how i put my own dvds into itunes so i can put them onto my iphone4 myself as i have got 100s

hi there i want to no how i put dvds into itunes so i can put them onto my iphone4 myself as i have got 1000s cheers

Since you are referring to commercial DVDs, they are all encrypted to prevent copying. In the US (and other places) it violates the law to use software to bypass encryption, so the Terms of Use here prohibit discussions on how to accomplish this. You might want to consider using a search engine instead.

You don't. And the subject is off topic. Read section 2.8.2 of the ASC terms of use before considering if you need to ask for clarification.

How do i put Video clips into Imovie, Without Iphoto?

Im using Imovie for a school project, and i need to put video clips into it. But for some reason my mac doesnt have Iphoto, and i've read online that the only way to do this, is through Iphoto??? Does anybody know otherwise?? please help!!

If you have a supported camcorder or camera you should be able to import your video directly to imovie from the camera. If the video is already on you computer, select the imovie File menu, then select import to library and navigate to the movie files you want to import. The article below should help you

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.
I've subscribed to a number of podcasts & they appear in my iTunes window under the Podcasts section.
There i have
2 problems:
1st: I can't rearrange or group them so can listen consecutively to different topics.
I must listen to one, then come to the keyboard and select the next to start playing. Now, I know that I can get them to play consecutively once I've placed them into Playlist folders,
but that brings me to my second problem:
2) I can't drag and drop them into separate iTunes FOLDERS (by topics).
(Though I have been able to drag&drop separate items from my 'Music' section into iTunes playlist folders.)
But can't drag from Podcasts section into Playlists,
as everytime I try they just refuse to go in and scurry back to their starting position under Podcasts.
Zupwidiss? This can't be.
I would be grateful for your solution.
And also grateful if I could have easily found the solution explained
before I had to resort to bothering this forum with this question.
Just using my MacMini, Snow Lep.

Thanks very much.
You have reminded of the
difference between
Playlists and Playlist Folders:
One can only drag things from the Master list into PLAYLISTS.
And can only drag Playlists into Playlist Folders.
I'm an older man, and easily confused by these things.
Many thanks to my friend in Germany.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

Intervideo sells software that will convert your files into a format that can be read by an Ipod.

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

Put videos back into Photos app??!!!!

Here's the thing... I take random videos now and again when I'm out with friends etc just silly stuff really, but I love looking back at these videos months later. I'm finding with my iPhone that I delete most of my videos say from a weekend away leaving 1 or 2 on there, but even this takes up quite a bit of space over time and I have to delete some more later on to have room to shoot new ones.
I want to be able to put videos back into the photos section of my iPhone 4 in native format (no conversion) and I'm pretty sure they can only be put in the videos section of itunes and synced to videos section of iPod on iPhone (I tried adding to an iphoto album but it didn't transfer to photos section)
Does anyone know if dropping videos into itunes in HD as they are will allow them to sync back to iPhone without conversion?
Does anyone know of a way of adding HD videos shot on iPhone back to iPhone without having to double them up by putting them through iTunes?
I have all my videos stored in a folder on my imac so I can move them around easily, play on my different computers etc but having to add a few to itunes just to watch them on my phone again seems like such a pain.
Ideas welcome
Cheers

In the photos section of the iPhone sync page, there is an option to sync videos as well I believe?
Have you tried that?
(I don't have iTunes with me at work so can't remember for sure)
