I can't transfer any movies to my iPod touch

I rented one movie and bought another one. I read all the FAQ's and how-to's on how to move them to your iPod, however when i try to do that, i get an error message. When i go into my iPod and click the 'movies' tab, and then click the 'move' button for the movie i rented..it says that it cannot be copied because it can't be played. Okay...so i went and found an article about that saying to go to 'advanced' and click 'convert to use with ipod/iphone' and that is not an option for the rented movie or any of the other movies. Then i bought a movie, and when i went to go to advanced, and then and instead of it saying 'convert for use with iphone/ipod' it says 'convert to mp3.' so i tried that and it gave me another error message saying that protected files cannot be converted to another format. I dont know what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it. I would really like to be able to watch movies on my ipod touch. After all, that is one of the big features about it

yes. i updated itunes and quicktime to the newest versions last night and i just bought my ipod last night, so it came with the newest firmware update.

  • Can't transfer rented movies to 2Gen Ipod Touch

    I recently recently rented two SD movies from the Itunes store.  When I tried to transfer them from my itunes to my Ipod Touch (2GEN) I got an error that says they were not copied because the video format is not supported by my Ipod.  I have rented and watched movies before however that was like 5 years ago.  Is my Ipod too old to support current Itunes rented movies.  Is so, can I get my money back for my rentals?

    Are you sure they were SD? This says your iPod supports SD

    Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content?  Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

  • Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

    Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

    It depends upon what "stuff" you mean. Maybe this:
    App Store - Bluetooth FileShare
    If you want to make an Pad like the iPod, you can make one final backup of the iPod and then restore the iPad from the backup of the iPad. If you do this via iTunes vice iCloud), all the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library.

    I can´t open any application of my ipod touch 4g. I have updated the software, download a new app, restart and reset the ipod but it´s still not working. Someone knows what can I do?

    Did you try restoring the iPod from a previous backup or to factory settings yet?  If not, those would be your next steps.

  • Can I transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can transfer music directly from an iPod touch 4th generation to an i-Phone 4. All the music I have is in this iPod, since I had my music stored in a portable hard drive that broke.
    Thank you

    All the music I have is in this iPod
    Sorry no, but if you have synced your iTunes purchases from the iPod to your computer, connect the iPhone. From the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From iPod...
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    Or, if you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, and iOS 4.3.3, you can re download the music directly to the iPhone.

  • Can I transfer my itunes library from ipod touch to ipad?

  • Can you transfer pictures from an old ipod touch to a new ipod touch without having the old ipod touch or the photos in Iphoto?

    I somewhat recently got a new ipod touch after my screen cracked and the people at an Apple store said it would be cheaper to buy a new device completely.  I followed everything they said about backing up my old device and when I went to pick up the new one, the store took the old one away.
    Up until just a few days ago I did not realize Iphoto could hold pictures from your ipods.  Mine never did it automatically, nor did anything ever seem to have the option to do.  It just so happened that two days ago I was browsing the web when I noticed a website gave instructions on how to transfer photos.  So I tried it and it worked for my new ipod while all the new photos.
    But I was wondering if I could somehow get the old photos back from Itunes or my computer somewhere and transfer them into Iphoto or my new device.  I was hoping that maybe if I could "back up" my old stuff onto my new ipod for a few moments it would show I have the old photos and I could transfer them into Iphoto and then restore the ipod touch back to what I have it currently.
    If it helps, I'm pretty sure the old ipod touch I had was a 3gen as my new one I noticed was skinnier.  As I said, I do not have the old touch anymore but I have the data in Devices on my Itunes if that makes a difference.  Both my data for my old one and new one are in the Devices section of Itunes.
    Thanks,
    Dragonhatchling

  • Can I transfer new photos on my iPod touch 4th generation to an external hard drive?

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch.  I have less than 1 Gb of memory left so I want to transfer my entire photo library (5000+ photos) onto an external hard drive.  I don't want to import it directly on to my iMac because of the amount of hard drive it will take on my iMac.  Can this be done?  If so, how?

    Likely with a thrid-pary program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
    You should also be able to do it by changing the the location of your photos library in iPhotos to the external disk and then importing them via iPhoto

    Sharing voice memos with your computer
    You can sync voice memos with the primary iTunes library on your computer, then listen to
    memos on your computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
    When you delete a synced memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but
    is deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced memo on
    iPod touch, it's copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync
    that copy back to iTunes a second time.
    Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer and select it in iTunes.
    Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and
    click Apply.
    Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
    Memos playlist in iTunes. Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on
    iPod touch, but not in the Music app.
