How do you "Create an iPod or iPhone version"?

I bought "Daddy Day Care" from the iTunes store, and after syncing my iPod many, many times, it still won't show up on my iPod. It's a 2nd generation, with 3 gigabytes left. Daddy Day Care is only 1 gigabyte. I think it's the video dimensions, as the touch's dimensions are 640 x 480, and the movie is 853 x 480. I highlighted the movie, and went to the top menu of iTunes, clicked advanced, and tried to click "Create an iPod or iPhone version", but it's grayed out. Does anyone know how to fix this, so that I can watch my movie on my iPod? Thanks!!

You are doing it correctly.

Also do you have Restrictions set that would prevent syncing?

Create an iPod or iphone version - is there any way to avoid duplicate files OR automating a new name for the new file?

hi,
I have two devices for my videos. An ipod classic and an Ipad. I would prefer to keep the highest resolution possible but also will be travelling and it will be useful to have a large archive with me.
I have found that many of the videos I have are "incompatible" with my ipod classic and am in the process of using the "create an ipod or iphone version" but this results in a duplicate file in my itunes library that is identical in everyway (except size and this can be bigger or smaller).
When you buy a HD video off itunes, you get both versions but only one file populates in the itunes libary.
Is there anyway that when itunes "creates the ipod or iphone version", it can do automatically merge these two files so you only see one file in your library? And then it will automatically sync the appropriate file with the appropriate device?
Or is there a way to have itunes "create the ipod or iphone version" and have it automatically label it with the name "XXX (ipod version"?
I am finding it very annoying to manually change all the titles on all the files being created.
thanks, margaret

When you open a Word document with Pages you get a translated-to-Pages file & the original Word document is unchanged. There are programs that will save over the original file such as LibreOffice. Pages will not.

Create a ipod or iphone version

I try to create a ipod or iphone version of this movie but when I try the audio comes in fine but the picture is all white. Is there a fix for this?

Maybe I should add:
I am using EyeTV (3.1.1) to record TV Shows and then export them using either:
Format Name: iPod (Smallest)
Video: H.264/AVC, 320x240, 25 fps
Audio: MPEG-4 Audio, Stereo, 48000 Hz or
Format Name: Apple TV
Video: H.264/AVC, 720x576, 25 fps
Audio: MPEG-4 Audio, Stereo, 48000 Hz
All files (after importing them to iTunes) show the same Kind (MPEG-4 video file), Bit Rate (125 kbps) and Video Codec (H.264). They differ in Total Bitrate and Dimensions.
Nevertheless some of them (regardless of their in EyeTV exported format) cannot be copied to my iPhone.
As to my understanding ALL MPEG-4 video files should be copied to the iPhone as Total Bitrate and Dimensions should not be of any relevance (I was told iTunes Music Store Files vary in Bit Rate, Total Bitrate and Dimensions and can be synchronized with any iTunes compatible device). Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you for sharing your experience,
Axel
EDIT: Using VisualHub I converted a by iPhone not supported file to iTunes - optimized for all devices - and was then able to synchronize it. What can VisualHub do what iTunes is incapable of?

How do you create chapters in the iMovie version 10.0.3

Create ipod or iphone version

How do I create an "ipod or iphone" version??
I know how to create an mp3, etc. version. What is the setting to make the ipod or iphone version please.
Thanking you!

Having the same issue here. With mencoder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder) I create an H264 file, after that I create an MP4 file with mp4creator (http://mp4creator.sourceforge.net/). Then I can import the .mp4 file in iTunes just fine, it plays well. But when I select the file, go to menu Advanced, choose 'Create iPod or iPhone Version', the file is converted, audio is fine but video stays white .

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

How do i create an ipod/iphone version of my videos in the new itunes?

In the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" drop-down menu, where i can click "create ipod/iphone version" to convert the selected video into a format compatibe with my 4th gen. ipod touch. The videos are already in a mp4 format, but won't sync > itunes just says they're not compatible my ipod. I have also noticed that all the videos added to my library after the update, are being copied to "Home Videos" and the usual file location.

Select the video. Then:
File menu -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
Regards.

How do you create folders in photo's

In an IPOD4 (or IPhone for that matter) how do you create folders within Photo's to segregate your pictures in to meanigfull collections, rather than just random bunches.
Thanks

Bummer - seems like wasted effort - to move all the photo's to a computer, delete then from the IPOD/IPHONE, organize them, and then move back to IPOD/IPHONE. Oh well, is what it is.
Thanks
Mike

Create iPod or iPhone version generates all white, audio only video

I have been trying to find any explanation for this by searching here and on Google, with little success.
I am trying to export my movies to my ipod with no success.
I will explain what I do:
I pick a movie from the iTunes Library (it plays just fine), then I go to Advance and click "Create iPod or iPhone Version". iTunes goes through the Conversion process, and after a few minutes (depending on the size of the original movie), I get the converted version, right next to the original one.
This version will be the same length, audio is just fine, but the video is all white (at this point, the video would transfer to my iPod Touch, were I would get the same all white video).
This happens with MP4 files. I followed the steps on Apple Support on how to verify the conversion of files (they provide a MOV file), and that worked fine. I do not have more MOV files to test.
Other troubleshooting steps included:
- Trying with different MP4 files as source
- Trying on different computers (two WinXP PCs with the latest iTunes installed)
- Removing and reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime
Any feedback is highly appreciated. However, I do not wish to use a 3rd party tool to do this (so recommending Handbrake or others is not that much helpful).
Thank you!

I can confirm that converting from MOV works, whilst MP4 does not. Unfortunately, unless you use a 3rd party tool to convert from whatever format they're currently in to an MOV file, there's not much you can do until Apple fixes this problem! :C
