Importing movies to itunes. Please help!

Hi all,
So far this discussion board has been my saviour as am new to all this ipod business. Hopefully someone can answer this question too...
I have some movie files on my computer but they are AVI files. When I try to import them into itunes (by selecting add file to library) nothing happens at all. Do I have to convert the files to another type? If so, what's the best way to do this? I found a website which said I should convert them to mov files using a program called SUPER. Is this correct? Cause I tried this already and it took hours just to do one standard film.
I would be so grateful if someone could help me out on this one. It's driving me crazy! Thanks in advance

You would have to use a program, but the Touch won't work with high resolutions, it just doesent import them to it, 853 x 480 or lower is best to use

  • Xml import error in itunes - please help

    So I had to restore my computer to factory settings.  Before I did that I read that I can save my thousands of itunes song ratings by creating a smart playlist for each rating and exporting them to xml. 
    I've since restored my computer and have added all of my music from my external to iTunes.  When I try to import the xml files I've saved I'm getting the followging message 'Some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found'. 
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?  My music was always on my external hardd rive even before the restore and my path in itunes is conneted to my external.  I have no idea what to do and am dreading the idea of rating thousands of songs all over again.
    Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. During the installation process there will be a Customize button (usually at the lower left corner) that will let you select individual elements to install.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    How to solve this problem that I have

    i've had a few issues like this.
    I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
    several troubleshoots. 
    1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work.  Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc).  One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
    2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync).  to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes.  Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone.  Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up.  Try to perform a sync - it likely will work.  After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
    let me know if either works

    My pc only recognises my iPad 2 as a camera won't sync in iTunes please help

    I take it that it is through Wiindows Explorer you are able to track the iPad as an external device?
    Disconnect your iPad and try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
    Also, try a different USB port on your PC, a few times if necessary.

    I suspect your error was 1015, not 1051. This usually involves a jailbroken iPhone, use Google to find your solution.

    The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
    You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
    As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed.

    The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
