HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

I've updated to iOS 5 and now my itouch will not sync.

Hi There:
My hard drive crashed and has recently been replaced. I've downloaded some new songs from iTunes but now my itouch will not sync. It states something about, "sync failed to start" but doesn't state why it failed. I would really appreciate any ideas of what to check for. I'm not really good at this.

Did you authorize your computer again? About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Can you back up your ipod manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing backup?

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work. This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook. It doesn't happen when I use a different computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works!

Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes. Anyone know why???

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

IPOD Touch will not sync Movies

I have an Ipod touch, that will only sync 2 out of 6 movies that i have. I have recently purchased Zombieland and for some reason it will not sync to my ipod. It will play in my itunes, i can see it on my list of movies to sync, but when i click it ( and i have it clicked on only sync movies) it does not sync at all to my ipod. i have already reset my ipod touch twice and it is still doing this. it is also doing with with several other movies. what do i need to do to fix this?

Hello LCGalletti,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you receiving any error messages while trying to sync these movies? How do you have your iPod configured to sync movies from under the Movies tab? Do you manually manage your iPod's contents?
Perhaps these videos are just not compatible. If that is the case, highlight the video in iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version" from the Advanced drop down menu. Then try resyncing these movies to your iPod.
If they are purchases from the iTunes store, make sure you are trying to sync the *Standard Version* and not the *High Definition* version.
For more help regarding this issue, see this Apple support document.

IPad will not sync movie

I puirchased and downloaded a movie from iTunes and it is my library. However, when I sync my iPad with my iTunes, this movie remains in my library and does not sync to the iPad. I have two previously synced movies on my iPad, but the most recent purchase will not sync. I have the check in "Sync Movies" and "all". How do I get the most recent movie to the iPad.

Do you have some sort of age restricted content setting preventing the movie from syncing in Settings>General>Restrictions?
Are you using the correct Apple ID on the iPad - the same one that you used to buy the movie?
Do you have enough space left on the iPad to allow the movies to sync? Settings>General>Usage>Storage? See how much space you have left on the iPad.

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...

ITunes will not sync Store purchases

Right after my friend upgraded my iBook to Mac OS 10.4, I synced my third generation iPod nano with iTunes. After it spent 2 hours or so transferring the music (USB 1.1...), I get this message that says, "Some of the files including (whatever video it named) will not be synced with this iPod, because they cannot be played by this iPod.
What I don't get - I purchased these videos from the iTunes store. Shouldn't it download files in a format and size compatible with iPods?
All of them are in the .m4v format, and my iPod software is up to date, I have version 1.1.
When I right-click any purchased video in the library, there is no option to convert it for iPod/iPhone like there would be for any other. There is only an option Convert Selection to AAC.
I put copies of the exact same videos onto my iPod from my PC, and had no problems.
There are no settings in iTunes preferences that could have anything to do with this, so I am out of ideas.

The solution you gave me worked the first time, but when my iPod was almost done syncing, I realized it was still formatted for Windows, so I stopped the sync and Restored my iPod. Now that it is formatted for a Mac, I get the same problem. It says my iPod cannot play the videos, so it will not sync them.
I tried deauthorizing my computer again (about five times), yet the problem still persists.
