iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Were all the videos purchased from the same source? There are many variation of mp4 format and the iPod is not compatible with all of them.

Cannot sync new playlist to iphone with icloud

cannot sync new playlist to iphone from PC as it tells me new playlist not in icloud. how do I get new playlist into the cloud?

Hey dr. c bruce,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the music on your device did not originate from this library, is the iPhone 5 currently synced with another iTunes Library? iPhones can only be synced with one library:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
Thanks,

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right/licence to give you music.

Hello Smithfiledhokie,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
Is the cloud you are seeing on your phone one of these icons?
Cloud with an arrow pointing down
The song is stored in iCloud and available to be downloaded to your computer.
Cloud with a diagonal slash
The song isn’t eligible to be uploaded to your iCloud library. For example, the song file might be larger than 200 MB, or encoded at 96 Kbps or less.
Two clouds with a diagonal slash
Your iTunes library contains duplicate versions of this song, and only the other version was uploaded to your iCloud library.
Cloud with dotted outline
The song is being matched, but the process hasn’t been completed yet.

HT1329 i have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro). I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do i do to get around this problem?

An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, my iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?
