I got a video from iStore and it will play in iTunes but not on my iPod

One of the videos i purchased back in Feb 2006 (TV show) was wiped from the purchased list with the iTunes 7 update and no longer shows up in any of the playlists anywhere on my iPod. I can play it in iTunes on my computer, but no matter what changes I tried, it won't update it to my iPod again.
Other videos, such as smaller clips, that I purchased around the same time are still there and playable, as well as tv shows I have bought since. I still have a copy of the receipt for this video in my inbox. What can I try to do to get my iPod to recognize the file again?

Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

  • Purchased video from itunes online store will play in itunes but not ipod

    It seems like this issue comes up for a lot of people. When I try to play the tv show I purchased from the itunes store on my 30gb ipod I get a grey screen, then it goes back to the menu. I've tried all the usual fixes- resetting, restoring, getting all the latest updates, etc. My video settings have "TV out" turned off as well, but that didn't help. Isn't there something else I can try? Does anyone know what the problem might be?
    I also can't choose to convert the file for ipod. This solution has been offered, but seems pointless, since I got it from the itunes store. I would love to have a solution to this problem, before I vomit and crash into the floor.

    I got my problem solved via the apple helpline, although it took a total of about five hours on the phone. First, I had to move up the echelons of representatives until I was actually talking to someone in America. It takes a long time for them to take you through all the trouble shooting steps and you have to explain several times that you've already tried everything.
    The solution they found for me was lengthy and confusing, and I wouldn't try describing it in detail to someone else. It involved doing stuff on my computer: I had to put my video files into my "shared folder," create a new user on windows, log in under that user, plug in my ipod, and import the videos, which then worked. I don't know why or how it fixed the problem, but it's definately fixed. Before I did that stuff, they also had me restore my ipod. I would recommend calling the apple helpline, telling them you've tried all the usual fixes, and politely asking them to "elevate" your call, which means you are talking to the cream of the cream as far as representatives go. They should be able to help.
    The representative told me that this problem is rare but more prolific on windows machines. So if you have windows and you're havings these problems, chances are your problem is similar to mine.

  • Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

    hi
    like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
    they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
    i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
    should i do it one by one ?
    thanks.

    it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

    How do you get passwords to stay valid?? Why do videos from Facebook and mail only play in 1/2 the screen?? I have been forced to Apple by my boss. Before, I had a "dumb" phone (talk, text, pics only) i can't seem to find a users guide that answers my questions. I don't know what category this falls in.                       Is there an"I-phone For Dummies" book/site?

    Didn't you look?

    And there's always the manual of course.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I put  video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong.  It plays as I made it on iMovie

    I put  video clips together and added music off of iTunes
    but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo.
    what is wrong.  It plays as I made it on iMovie

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

    How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

    Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types.  You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer.  When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right.  Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right.  Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad.  I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD.  works very well.  Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store).  Works about the same.
    You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there.  I do that all the time with my iPhone.  Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

  • Track from iTMS plays in itunes, but not on iPod

    Five minutes ago, I purchased a track from the iTunes Music Store (Sunspot, by Moby). I downloaded the file, and it plays without a hitch in iTunes.
    When I sync my iPod, though, I find the track is not playable on the iPod. I can find and select it in the interface. When I try to play it, though, it immediately takes me back to the main "iPod" menu. On one or two play attempts, it briefly flashed the cover art on the display of the iPod Video, but it then took me back to the "iPod" menu.
    I am able to play other tracks on the iPod. I've purchased dozens of tracks and I've never seen this before. Any advice?

    You can try this - It seems to help some people that are having weird authorization issues:
    Make sure you delete the old one off of your iPod.
    Copy the file from the iTunes music folder to your desktop.
    Then click on it and it will play in iTunes.
    Now add this new one back to your iPod.
    If that doesn't work, you can email iTunes Support using the form at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    Let them know what's happening & they may be able to give you a new copy or refund you.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

    After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

    Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
    I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's.  I have been using it for years without a glitch.  I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types.  Please let us know if it works or not.

    A ton of songs disappeared from my iTunes, but not off my iPod. How do I put them back?

    Select all the songs you want to be in one album, right click and choose "Get Information", delete the album name, if any, and type the one you want. You can also paste the Artwork in the right bottom box. Then click "Accept".
