Importing Movies to 5th Gen iPOD

Is it possible to import movies that you already own or only ones that you purchase from iTunes?

If you are referring to dvds, see this.

Can't Delete Movies from 5th gen iPod Touch?

K... This is strange. Before we headed to the Marvel Universe Live performance, my son asked me to free up some space on his 5th generation iPod touch 32gig. So I did or at least I tried. It didn't free up any space at all and general settings still says there's 18 movies???? I synced to iTunes and tried syncing again with no movies selected. I then tried throwing a couple back on but it says no space. What gives? It still thinks there on there but they don't show up except under the "About" settings. Yes, I've already tried a hard reboot. I just don't want to have to sit for hours while it restores. I was going to run Disk Utility but didn't realize i can no longer do that.
Any tips?

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

5th Gen iPod Not Being Recognized by iTunes

5th Gen iPod w/Updater 1.3. iTunes Ver. 7.6.2.9
Two weeks ago purchased music with no problems; sync'ed library w/iPod w/no problems.
Purchased music a few days ago- no problems. Started iTunes today to sync iPod and got msg saying registry values missing for certain drivers for burning discs, etc. Cause could be from other programs that burn discs etc.(???)
Plugged in iPod, got the tone beep and then a message that iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod attached. Disconnect and reattach. Did this several times - still doesn't work. I can play tunes from my iTunes library and my iPod OK - just can't sync them up. Anyone got a solution??
Thanks, Unicorn39

Well,after digging into the 1000's of msgs regarding problems similar to mine I found something I thought might help at (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538). I teied it and found that my drivers were OK so that wasn't the problem. While trying things I suddenly got the iPod recognized and it started sync'ing. I think the solution to my issue was to connect the iPod first; wait for it to be recognized by the pc (the tone beep) then go thru the acceptance of iTunes agreement, etc., iTunes then opened and the sync process began. I tried it with iTunes open and it won't work. It sounds like a hokey way to do it but at least I have my library and iPod in sync.
My next problem to work on is there seems to be registry problem with iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's. Got to figure that out and fix.
Since I do have CopyTrans I may just re-install a back-level of iTunes and copy my iPod into the new iTunes library.

5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

5th gen iPod will only play 1st few seconds of certain songs

Have a 5th gen ipod, 30gb, with about 21gb on it. Its only recently starting to play the 1st 10-15 seconds of certain songs and then it'll skip to the next. It's happening to purchased songs as well as cd imports. Seems to be getting worse, anyone experienced anything similar??

I guess there is not a solution.

Finding exact point in a podcast harder with 5th gen iPod?

hi,
I just upgraded from a 4th gen iPod Touch to a 5th gen iPod Touch. On the 4th gen I was able to move through a song and pick a specific time such as 20 minutes out of a 60 minute podcast. Is it now harder with the 5th gen to get choose an exact place in a podcast/song?
thanks,
Michael

My research reaveals that the auth chip for TV out may be the reason there is no compatibility. Check out the website below.
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/01/17/itunes-rentals-on-5g-ipod-nope/
Why are previous generation iPods incompatible with iTunes Rentals? Pure speculation leads me to believe that the whole authentication-chip for TV-out "update" to the Classic is at the root of the incompatibility.

I have a few questions about 5th gen ipod

My iPod has a very sluggish transfer rate for my music and I wanna connect it with the firewire cable I got with my old mini. When I do I get a message saying it's not supported on the ipod. Does anyone know if that is just me or if there is a firmware update.
Also I have both a iMac G4 flat panel and a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I've had some video problems with my iMac(as you might have seen) and I am thinking of selling it on ebay, does anyone know how I can transfer the music from the mac to the windows laptop without networking or installing the ipod on the windows and transferring through that?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The 5th Gen iPods do not support Firewire for data transfer. You can only charge via Firewire. This is not a firmware issue. There's no firewire controller in the 5th Gen iPod.
does anyone know how I can transfer the music from the mac to the windows laptop without networking or installing the ipod on the windows and transferring through that?
Your iMac probably has a CD-RW drive. If so, just burn the tracks as a Data/MP3 CD, and then import that CD into your iTunes library on the Windows machine. You can fit hundreds of tracks on a DATA/MP3 CD.

5th Gen iPod Classic won't play video

I've been having a problem getting my 5th gen. iPod to play video podcasts. I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 and os 10.6.4. For about a month or so now my iPod will play a couple videos and then it just stops playing them. It usually finishes playing but then goes to black screen before the next video starts. If I click the pause button the battery indicator shows up at the top and three podcast titles quickly display and then disappear, and then the screen returns to the menu. From that point it won't play any video podcasts; until I resync the iPod then it will play three of four video and quit again until it's resync'd. Even after it stops playing videos it will still play audio podcasts without interruption.
I've tried restoring my iPod, but I get the same behavior after the restore.

I have an 80 classic and i started getting new movies and tv shows and my ipod stoped playing movie files. The time i experienced this was May 22, 2009. I loaded the free episode of the Glee Club offered by itunes. Did you ever find out how to fix that. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Locating "Notes" folder in 5th Gen iPod

I originally synced my 5th Gen iPod on a Windows machine. Now I'm on a Mac OS X 10.5.5. I have the latest version of iTunes.
When I plug my iPod into the computer it shows up as a device in iTunes. However, when I hit the arrow to look at the programs within in the iPod, I see "Photos" "Music" "Playlists" "Movies" etc. But I no longer see "Notes." It sort of vanished. I have my iTunes enabled for disk use.
Any help appreciated.

In response to the original poster, the Notes folder is on the Pod and you add notes by saving them as plain text and dragging them to the Notes folder directly on the iPod on the desktop, not thru iTunes.
If the iPod is not showing up on the desktop,s elect the iPod in iTunes then tick *Enable disk use*.

Sony software... 5th gen ipod... hp laptop... why wony they mesh? :(

Soooo.... I bought the "Vegas Movie studio HD" blah blah to edit the vidoes I took off my 5th gen ipod... Why wont the sony software open the videos'?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I realize it is sony movie studio, Im asking about which one in the series. there are four different ones. I'm also asking about the file type. Vegas rejects certain types. You should be able to run the software on windows 7, If you have trouble, try running it in xp mode. When i asked about the location from which the videos came, Im asking whether they came from a drm protected source or not. If you are trying to upload them straight from the ipod, you might run into trouble. upload them from your internal drive.

I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and now it wont turn on/boot up

I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and restored it to factory setting I then uploaded my music to it and ejected it but may have unplugged it to soon. Now the ipod just keeps trying to turn on but doesn't and it won't respond to manual reset has anyone had this problem and what was done to fix it? thank you for your time I would really appriciate it.

The 5th gen iPod "classic" was the first "video" iPod. It's video capability is more limited, and supported video resolution is lower, typically only 320x240. Even if the video is standard def (SD), and not HD, it is probably at least 640x480.
Also, current iTunes Store video content (such as TV shows and movies) uses DRM (copy protection). The 5th gen iPod was designed before the iTunes Store started selling video content (as it does now); I don't think it supports the DRM technology.
If you have video content that is not DRM'd and plays in iTunes (such as video podcasts), you may be able to use the convert command in iTunes. Select the item on a list in iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar
File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
That version may play on your iPod, so iTunes will sync it.

My 5th gen iPod touh was stolen a month ago. I immediately removed that device from my account and yet today I looked at my photostream and there are tons of pics of these people on my photostream. How do I get this to stop?!?

5th Gen iPod, seen by Windoze, not by iTunes

I've been too busy lately to hang out keep up with the iTunes 7 issues, but I still have to stop the iPod service, attach my iPod, start iTunes/start the service every time I want to sync. Is there any hope that this is a temporary condition or is this just how it's gonna be from now on? iTunes 7, 5th Gen iPod w/1.2 software, XP Pro SP2.
TIA for your comments/help.

Wow, 10 days and not a single reply. Guess I'm not the only one too dumb to figure out what's wrong with iTunes.
