How to put movies on a ipod video (mac computer)

Hi everyone i am new to the wonderful wold of mac's and ipods. I just picked one up yesterday and would like to put my own movies on it. I did a quick search but it looks like most people are using pc for there ipod. Can someone give me detailed instructions on putting a dvd onto my ipod using a mac.

Well let me give you an example i used handbrake last night to take the movie "Full Metal Jacket" and put it onto my ipod. I changed a couple of settings on handbrake and i just want to know if they are what i should of changed. I changed the screen resolution to 320x240 and the bitrate kbps to 750. Than i tried to play the movie but my it said quicktime could not read the file, or something to that effect. I than put it into my itunes library and hit the button to convert for ipod...only took a min or 2 to convert it, and than it went onto my ipod with out a problem. but the file size if i remember correctly the file size was almost 699mb. That is kind of large. Just in comparison, i never use limewire but i wanted to check it out so i downloaded stewie griffin: the untold story. It was on there already in mpeg 4 format for the ipod and that movie is like an hour and a half long and the file size was only 196mb, and it sounds and looks great...can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong...
Thanks

How do you move photos from iPod to new computer?

Just got a new computer with Windows 7 (I think) after using an old (really old) one. All my photos are on my iPod and the FAQ says they can be moved from it to the new computer if I enabled disk use (which I did). But it doesn't say how to actually move them. Can anybody help?

1.Turn on your computer. Close any applications that might slow the photo transfer.
2.Connect your iPod to your computer with the cord that came with your iPod. Make sure you have turned on the iPod.
3.Open iTunes. Wait for iTunes to register that your iPod is connected. If the screen does not register that a connection, disconnect the iPod and try again.
4.Click on the "Photos" tab below your iPod on iTunes. Look through the photos stored on your iPod.
5.Drag photos from the photos folder on your iPod to the desktop. You may also drag these pictures to a photo editing application, like Photoshop or Photosmart. Move any other images from your iPod to your computer.

Can't Put Movies On The iPod..........THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF VIDEO IPOD

I've tried everything to get movies on my iPod. I bought $30 QT PRO because I was told that that has the only format that can import movies on the iPod. After I bought it I tried to use it but I get an error -43 messege. Next I was told to then download videora so I did and when I converted it into an iPod file but I couldn't find out how to get it into iTunes. Now I am being told videora doesn't work. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET MOVIES ON MY IPOD OR HOW TO GET MY MOVIE TO SHOW UP ON ITUNES.

For $30 I bought a program called DVD to Ipod Converter from cucusoft.com and it works perfect. I have now converted 18 dvd's since Thursday and each are perfect. I have my files set up when I double click they automatically open with iTunes then I hook up my iPod (its set to manual) and I just drag the file over the top of the name of my iPod and it loads to the ipod.
They have a free trial version you can try first but it puts a watermark on the file such as "Trial Version" but you can at least see how it works without spending money first. There is a Suite Version to do different types of files but I only needed the DVD converter.

How do I put pictures onto my Ipod video????

Connect the ipod to the PC, rightclick it in iTUnes,
hit options, then select the "Photo" sub tab and
there you can point iTunes to the folder with your
pictures. Hit OK and it should now load them
Thanx for that! I'll go and try it out!

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:

Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How to stream movies from an ipod nano 7th gen

I just bought an iPod nano 7th gen and I own an Apple TV and a lightning connector to hdmi cable. Is there a way to put movies from my iPod on my tv

The 6th gen nano could not play videos, so it certainly could not stream them to a TV. It may have been able to show photo slideshows on a TV screen.
The 5th gen nano (plus 3rd and 4th gen) may have had the ability, but I don't think its output was HDMI. You could use this
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
to output a composite (non-digital) signal to a TV. But the new nano has a Lightning connector, so I probably won't work (even if you use an adapter).

HOW TO PUT MOVIES BACK IN THE CLOUD ON IPAD

HOW TO PUT MOVIES BACK IN THE CLOUD ON IPAD

You can't put films in the cloud yourself, whether they will show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if the rights-holder allows redownloading, and if the film remains in your country's store. You can delete a film from your iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the film select ion screen in the Videos app or via Settings > General > Usage > Videos (that should also give you an Edit button top right of the screen or you can swipe/drag across a film form right-to-left) - but the film might not then show in the cloud for redownloading. If you haven't already done so you should connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take your own backup copy of your downloads (apps, ibooks etc could also be removed from the store and not be redownloadable in the future).

I purchase a season of a tv show from I tunes. How di I move it to my video icon so I can watch it in flight?

I Purchased a season of a tv show from I tunes. It sits in my I tunes purchased file. How do I move it to my video icon file so I can watch while in flight?

If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app then tap on the cloud icon next to it and it should start to download into the Videos app - if it says 'downloaded' against it in Purchased then it should already be in the Videos app.

How do i move clips from home video to roll?

how do i move clips from home video to roll?

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!
