I can't get my videos onto itunes

I have some music fan made music videos i got from a webcite downloaded on to my computer's hardrive, but when I try to add them to itunes nothing happens, and on those rare occasions that someting does happen i get an error messege: 2048 it says that it is not a video file. I think mabey it has to do with the files being a windows media player. Is there any way to fix this so i can get them on itunes then to my 60 gig video ipod?

Ok here it goes...
you have to ways of getting videos into your ipod (itunes): you can buy them on the itunes music store, which would then play perfectly on the ipod or you can convert videos that you may have.
This forum is not for that. If you do not know how to convert videos, then either investigate how to do that or stick with the videos that you get from itunes.
As you said.. all that avi and avc is just too deep for you... therefore stick with the easy choice... get your videos from itunes.
You can also try videora ipod converter (http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/), but then again if you have quesitons on how to use it, please go to their forums...since thats were you should get support for that software.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Can't get purchasedE video onto Nano even after selecting Advanced convert

    I have a new Nano and have purchased 5 short videos from iTunes store. Firstly, when synching the error was "cannot be copied onto this iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod". I read in the forum that I should try selecting Advanced and then convert to ipod. When I do this, I get "Error occurred when converting. Unknown error (-3000)". Any ideas where I'm going wrong? The 5 videos were all purchased by me from iTunes store. Is it anything to do with the age of my mac? Thanks for any help.

    Your first error happened to me this morning when I was using the iTunes on my computer for my boss's ipod nano. I has to go under Store/Authorize Account and then just followed the prompts. Now my problem is that I cannot see the movies that I purchased from the iTunes store on my ipod. I can see them in iTunes when my ipod is plugged in, but they are greyed out.

  • Can't get any videos into itunes

    I have a few that were already there, but I have some new shows I have converted to Mp4 and I can't get them to import into iTunes. Any idea why they won't import?

    I'm having the same problem. I've got 2 test videos: 1 from handbrake using the iPhone settings and the other is a quick movie recorded in iMovie and exported to iPod.
    When I try to drag them into iTunes the cursor changed to the green "+" but nothing happens. I've also tried going through File>Add to Library... with similar the same lack of result.
    iTunes is 7.4.2 freshly re-installed.

  • When is movie rental coming to Norway? And if not how can I get my videos on itunes legal.

    Any?

    We are itunes users like you. No one here would know anything, unless Apple announces, which they very rarely do, and to speculate is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.
    You cannot buy, what they do not sell.
    Sorry.

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

  • Getting music videos onto iPhone 4

    I would like to play downloaded music videos through a home theatre product i have recently purchased and I've having a bit of trouble....
    Firstly, i have never had problems playing 'normal' mp4 style videos which i have in iTunes, and have copied over to my iPhone 4- These can be found in the iPod mode under 'Videos' and play fine.
    I tried to get music videos onto my phone directly from my mac- (these appear both in my music library in iTunes and in the 'Music Videos' Playlist), but when i try syncing it to my iPhone when its connected it appears to sync, but afterwards i cannot find it anywhere on the iPhone!
    I though i had cracked it then, when i downloaded 3/4 music videos directly from the itunes store on my iPhone 4, as they downloaded with no problems, and suddenly appeared under a new category in the video option (in iPod mode on iPhone 4) labelled music videos. I was chuffed and this worked fine, until i synced with itunes on my mac again (for backup purposes) and it decided to get rid of them from my phone. Once more I'm back to square one, with the music videos on my Mac fine, but with no way of getting them back on my iPhone4. I'm sure I'm being an idiot and there is something simple I'm missing but i just cant work it out....
    please please help!!!

    I am having the same issue. I have tried reinstalling itunes, I have wiped my phone and set it up again. I don't know what else to do.

  • Import home videos onto ITunes

    How can i import my home videos/ DVDs onto Itunes just as you can import your audio CDs onto Itunes?

    I had home videos that were sat in my iTunes library no problem but I couldn't get them across to my iPhone, even putting them in their own playlist, ticking all the right tabs in the synch menu etc. After a lot of playing around I found that if you right click on the video, select Get Info, go to Options and then in 'Media Kind', manually change it to Music Video and it will then happily go into the music videos playlist and will synch straight across.
    Hope this helps.
