Ipod 5th Gen will not sync movies from Itunes...

I've had this Ipod for a couple of years now and the only way I've been able to put movies on is through a few programs that I've downloaded. I've bought a few movies off of the Itunes store and every time I put it on the iPod, the iPod freezes up, and then sometimes my iPod loses all of it's content. The iPod and iTunes are both up-to-date, is this just an issue with the 5th gens?

Are these HD movies? iPods can only handle SD movies.
Some store downloads include both versions. They will show HD-SD next to them. If so, right-click > Version and make sure SD is checked.
if it just shows HD, you should be able to use the Advanced menu to create an iPod or iPhone version.

Ipod "5th generation" will not sync to updated itunes

My new ipod touch will not sync with itunes. i restores it so the old stuff on my itunes is on it but now that i have added new music, it will not sync at all. How can i fix this?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. That makes the new iTunes look like the old one. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?
(if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

My nano ipod 7 gen will not be recognized by itunes but my classic ipod syncs just fine

my nano ipod 7 generation will not sync or be recognized. it says it detects an ipod but cannot be recognized. i have an ipod classic that syncs just fine. why will my nano not be recognized? it is a new computer and i have done everything it has asked in the help section. nothing works?

In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. It does not appear there, when you connect the nano?
If not...
it says it detects an ipod
Where does it say the iPod is detected?

Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(! All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads. I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings. When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music. If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles. I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off. Can anyone help me please? I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

First, don't obsess over it. If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty. Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod 5th Gen will not reset to factory defaults - "Device is Busy"

I am trying to fix an iPod 5th gen. So far I have gotten iTunes to recognize it, but it needs to be restored to factory defaults. I try reseting it and I get an error message saying that the "device is busy" and it fails restoring. Any idea on how to fix this? I get the same error on three computers, so it isn't my Mac.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Ipad will not transfer movies from itunes: error is video format not supported

Recently itunes will not transfer movies I have purchased from itunes. I can still tranfer older movies, but the two latest purchased will not synch, it says the video format is not supported. it seems odd that APPLE movies from APPLE itunes will not play on my APPLE ipad. APPLE support was no help at all. I have retored the ipad and updated the software to the most recent version and nothing has worked.

I am having same problem with iPad and 3GS phones. Did you figure out how to do it?

IPod Touch 5th Gen will not sync all my music.

I have a 5th Gen. iPod touch, 32 GB. I moved my iTunes music onto another remote HD - the original was about to let go. I the went back to re-sync. Now the device will only sync part of my manually selected list.I have selected 2632 songs (as displayed in iTunes) with only 816 syncing. This is not due to missing music - no warning for that. I have reset the iPod, erased the music separately from it, cleared the iPod completely and reloaded everything. Even a restore from my computer. No go. FYI - No iCloud; everything via USB. Suggestions? Comments?

Yes, regarding space. When I first reset the memory; it had 3 GB of room. I didn't add any other music or applications.
Do the non-sync songs play? Well; I thought they did. However, as I try to play them I get a message about not being able to locate the songs. I did change the path in the Preferences section. And - it looks like it found files one I manually told it to look. I'm going to re-sync and see what happens.

IPod 5th gen will not play (clock stuck at 0:00)

So I've seen similar postings here about this. My 30GB 5th gen iPod just started acting up by not playing any song at all -- the song timer stays stuck at 0:00.
First I've reset the iPod -- doesn't play afterwards.
Then I restored the iPod -- still doesn't work.
I tried playing with earphones plugged in -- nope.
How about through the iPod dock connector? -- nope.
However, I can tell the HD drive inside is OK -- I can sync the iPod, erase and add songs, and even play songs within iTunes from the iPod.
Has my iPod gone or is there a way to salvage the situation? I use my iPod every day! Any guidance would be much appreciated!

First, to Athena53, these forums are user to user forums and besides Apple employees who monitor the forums for content, they generally do not answer questions here.
Second, my own experience with the counter stuck at 0:00 is there is a bug in the 5th generation iPod firmware where when you wake up the iPod, plug in the headphones, then try to play something, it will often get stuck at 0:00. A reset of the iPod gets it out of that state.
The work around is that the problem is plugging in the headphones first. Instead I start the iPod playing, THEN plug in the headphones and I never get the problem. And I have verified that it always occurs when the headphones are plugged in first then hitting play after the iPod wakes up.

Patrick

IPod 5th Gen will not recognize the fact that it actually has music on it

This question has been asked before, but not answered. With that in mind, I will ask you this: Though my iPod does definitely have 18 gigs of music on it, as I can see them when I choose to view it as a portable media device, or whatever, and search manually through windows explorer, it will not recognize the music in either iTunes or on my iPod. I have not restored my iPod because that would be a pain. I have had it for no more than two weeks and this occurrence has made me very upset. It happened when I was working on a playlist. There was a beep sound as if it had ejected and then the black and white screen with the apple came on as if it had been reset. Subsequently, all music disappeared from the iTunes sub menu of my iPod. Furthermore, even though in the "about" on my iPod it says there is music there, I can not see it. When that happened there was a windows message saying that there was a corrupted file and that I should use the "chkdisc" feature. I did that, and nothing was fixed. Please help. Costumer DISSATISFACTION!!!

If you want to try to "repair" your iPod to get the music to show back up...
http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/corruptedipod.php
But again, it would be better to restore. Also, 3rd party software does not always work flawlessly.
To fix the error that came up, along with getting your music to show back up properly (without the risks of 3rd party software), you need to restore your iPod. If all of your music is on your computer/in iTunes, you won't loose any of it.
See this for more info...
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
And if the problem persists...
Da Gopha: What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
If the iPod was just not showing you the songs even though they are there, the first option would be better. However, since you are getting the chkdsk error, you should/need to restore your iPod.

My iPod 4th Gen will not sync Mp3s.

My iPod 4th gen won't allow mp3 files to be dragged into the bar and downloaded. I am using iTunes without signing to the same apple ID that the iPod is on, so maybe that has something to do with it, but my family member's iPod of the same generation works with the same circumstances. Please help.

Problem solved. First I deleted synce back up, then deletedl sync history under preferences in iTunes. Next, I went into the settings area of my iPod. I renamed it with it's same name (in my case, Dominic's iPod). I then rebooted the computer (Win 7). When I logged into windows, it started syncing instantaneously.
