HT1454 my i Tunes videos will not sync to my 5th gen.ipod

I would like to know why I can't see any iTunes music videos or podcast videoes on my 5th generation i Pod.
The message on the iPod says 'tv out enabled-please connect video accessory'. I do not want to watch the video on my tv but rather on the iPod when I am away from the tv. Surely that is the point of downloading videos to the iPod.

Oh, since you got that 'tv out enabled-please connect video accessory' message on the iPod's screen, I thought it must have at least one video.  The Settings choice will not be there on that screen, unless you have at least one video on the iPod. 
BTW, when does that message come up?  I have the same iPod nano, and it only came up when I tried to play a video, with the TV Out setting turned ON.  If there are no videos on the iPod to play, how did it come up in your case?
If the problem is not being able sync videos to the iPod nano from iTunes, do you get an error message (from iTunes on the Mac) when you try to sync?
Our iPod nano model can only play videos (in supported formats) that are up to 640x480 resolution.  If the videos you re trying to sync are "HD" (720p or 1080p), they are beyond the supported resolution.  iTunes should give you an error message when you try to sync. 
Standard Def (SD) videos should work.  Podcasters often provide downloads in both HD and SD formats.  For unprotected video content (such as podcasts and iTunes U) you can also use the Create iPod or iPhone Version command under the Advanced menu in iTunes.  "Commercial" video content from the iTunes Store are also usually available in both HD and SD formats.  If you bought the HD version, I think you can download the SD version at no additional cost.

  • Videos will not sync to iPhone from iTunes

    Movies (Videos) will not sync to an iPhone 4S from iTunes Mac. They can be downloaded and played from iCloud. They sync to other iOS devices, just not this one.
    Music does sync as do other media. When I try Movies (Video) I spend long minutes watching "Waiting for changes to be applied". I suspect it's timing out.
    I don't see anything in Console. It doesn't matter whether Movie is DRMd or home.
    I've restared phone and desktop. I wiped the phone and restored from Backup. I suspect if I wiped phone and treated at as NEW phone it would work, but I'd lose game settings, some data, etc. I haven't tried 'manual' management of music and video, I really dislike that. I did try dragging a movie to the iPhone manually, that behaved like sync.
    I've used PhoneView, an OS X utility for browing phone to look for stuck or unexpect media. There are no Voice Memos and no Voicemail messages.
    In iTunes, if I expand the Devices tree for the phone, and inspect Movies, I see the movies that have downloaded via iCloud. Movies that are supposed to sync from iTunes show with a grayed out font and dotted viewing status circle.
    Any ideas? Any references to a technical description of the iTunes sync process?

    A colleague on App.net (@gaelicwizard) came up with the fix for being unable to sync video to the iPhone. It suggests the bug is on the iPhone, and since a wipe/restore didn't fix it the bug is transmitted with the backup.
    The fix was to setup iTunes on another account on the same machine, then sync the iPhone to THAT account. This wipes out all media and photos. When I did that I could sync a video to the iPhone.
    I then synced the iPhone BACK to the original iTunes account -- this wiped all media again. This time though I could sync video from the original iTunes. I restored all of the media and was good to go again.
    I still wonder if this bug is related to the fix for the 7.0 CloudAssets bug that was fixed in 7.1. There was also something odd about the movie 'Frozen' where the Cloud version and local iTunes version seemed somehow different...

  • MacBookPro8,2 (AKA Early 2011) will not Sync with AppleTV 1st gen

    I have a MBP (MacBookPro6,2) purchase Dec 2010 and a new Thunderbolt MBP (MacBookPro8,2). My plan is to give the "Older" MBP to my daughter who has a PowerBook G4.
    Upon receiving the new machine, I used Apple's Migration Utility to transfer all my data and settings from the 2010 MBP to the 2011 MBP. All my iTunes Media is on an External Hard Drive that I connect as needed via FireWire 800. iTunes is version 10.2.1 on both machines.
    A problem arose when I tried to sync new iTunes content from the 2011 MBP to my 1st gen AppleTV. The 2011 MBP will not sync, giving the Error Message: "Apple TV "My Apple TV" is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
    I "Uninstalled 'Little Snitch' and turned off the Apple firewall on the 2011 MBP; (i left them alone on the 2010 MBP as there were no problems with that set up on that machine.) No joy. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Defaults and then tried to SetUp and sync from the 2011 MBP again; but again no joy.
    From the 2010 MBP, I "Restored" the Apple TV to factory setting, updated the ATV software and then was able to sync all my data with no problem.
    Now, the 2011 MBP is running a special version of MacOS 10.6.6 (10J3210). The 2010 MBP is running the Release Version of MacOS 10.6.6 which is Build 10J567. Other than that, the two machines are clones of each other.
    Any ideas why the 2011 MBP shows this error and refuses to sync? I did call Apple Support. They had no clue and referred me to a Genius Appointment.

    I got the same problem Driving me nuts!! And of course, no help from apple...

  • I updated itunes and now my songs will not sync from the computer to ipod

    I just updated my itunes software and my song will not transfer to the ipod. I tryed a new port but tha seems unlikly because itunes does reconize the ipod it just will not update the songs. I restarted the ipod that did not work so i updated the installed software and refreshed the ipod noe I have no songs because it wiped out the ones that were there from the old sync. I have tryed doing a manual update as apposed to the automatic update but that did not work either. I have tryed turning off my anti virus software but that did not work??? any ideas?

    Ive had the same problem and I restored my i-pod then when i hooked up the i-pod it said it was full and asked If I wanted it to select a few songs to put on, i clicked yes thinking It meant it would just put my selected songs on but then it put 675 songs out of the library on when i only have 67 checked. they play wether tehyre checked in the Library or not, is there any way to fix this?

  • IPod Touch iOS 4.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.8. ICal will not sync after a restore of iPod Touch. What's up?

    iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) second generation; Mac (OS 10.6.8). After a restore, the iCal no longer syncs, Contacts do not sync, etc. What gives?

    Greetings,
    Sounds like something is wrong with the sync history.
    Troubleshooting:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
    Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue, where is the information "good", on the iPod Touch or the computer and are you using MobileMe to sync or do you just plug in your usb cable.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod shuffle will not sync with iTunes 7.3; "iPod sync failed"

    My shuffle is acting weird lately. For example, when I plug in the iPod and try to add songs and/or sync the device, iTunes says, "iPod sync failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." It's really annoying because I can't add any songs to it or change any settings. Please help me! I have tried almost everything to save my shuffle and have restored it about 6 times!

    Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
    Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
    You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
    use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
    Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
    I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
    I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
    P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

  • "Charged" icon does not go away when 5th gen Ipod is disconnected

    When I unplug my Ipod from either the wall charger or computer USB cable, the Charged icon does not go away. After sitting idle, when it would normally go into sleep mode, the big green Charged icon displays on the center of the screen.
    This obviously prevents the battery meter from reading correctly, and I think it's causing the battery to die prematurely.
    I've tried restarting and updating the Ipod software. Any suggestions short of restoring??
    5th gen. Ipod Windows XP
      Windows XP  

    I am having the same problem!
    I had my ipod 5th gen docked to a iHome alarm clock, and after pressing the button on my remote to shut off the alarm the charged screen popped up a few seconds later (this is normal) however, the screen never went off, it is currently still showing the large charged battery symbol in the middle of the screen while being backlit.
    I have tried the 5R's and this does not help. Do i need to bring it in to be serviced? Did you resolve your issue?

  • .mov and .mpeg4 videos will not sync with iphone4

    I have tried getting some modest sized (<1GB) videos on to my iPhone4 using iTunes 9. I have tried both .mov and .mpeg4 formats which are supported in the tech specs. Using both sync, and manual management modes, I get the error:"MOVIE X was not copied to this iphone because it can not be played on this iphone."

    The movies were recorded on a Kodak ZI8. On a whim I tried WVGA, HD720P (30), and 1080P (30). An 8 second WVGA was able to be transferred. The 780P and 1080P formats would not copy. The other projects I tried to copy over were compilations primarily WVGA, that although they showed up as .mov, I am guessing they carried along some artifacts of other formats (stills?).
    The 720P should be supported although I can't honestly validate the "Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz" requirement. Greek to me.
    I am a bit surprised that the state of the art Iphone is unable to handle videos that are easily uploaded to facebook. c-est la vie.
    Thanks.

  • HT1386 I erased my hard drive and now my ipod touch and Itunes will not sync unless I erase my ipod.  How can I have transfer transfer the data on my ipod to my computer?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod that is not in Itune and I have songs in Itunes that are not on my Ipod.  What can I do to combine the two?  I do not want to erase my Ipod.  I have a lot of CDs that I put in Itunes and synced to my Ipod before I had to formatted my computer's hard drive.  It took hours to put my songs on the computer.  Once the hard drive was erased, I installed Itune and connected my Ipod.  Since I am using the same computer, why does Itune not recognize that my Ipod and computer are the same ones that are linked to my account?  What can I do to sync Itunes and my Ipod that does not require earasing my Ipod?
