IPod Classic mp4 videos no longer copying to iPod

I've recently updated my iTunes which contains many mp4 files that I've always kept on my iPod. I connected my iPod to update the music I've added and the majority of my videos were deleted from my iPod, with a warning message saying that this device doesn't support these types of files. They are mp4 files that have worked on here before.
I've tried downgrading my iTunes because I assume that this is a problem on apple s end, but then my library isn't supported with older versions of iTunes.
I've also tried converting videos to a supposed iPod classic format (m4v 320 x 240) but that didn't work either.
I'm not sure if there is a solution, but if anyone else has experienced this problem and figured out how to solve it, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks!

hello Time Othy. i dont know what the problem is, but i have the same problem. All my videos will copy from i tunes on my i phone, but not on my i pod classic. maybe some one on here can help both of us...  phil..

  • I cannot copy mp4 video files to my iPod video

    I am having a problem with my 6-month old (6 months since I bought it) iPod Video. Before, I was using iTunes 6.0.0.18 (earlier relase of iTunes), which was installed from the CD included in my iPod. I didn't have a problem except that that version of iTunes does not have video conversion functionality to formats that iPod supports (to .m4v format) so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.5.20) to achieve this. When I upgraded, it created a new problem - for some reason that I don't know, I can no longer drag .mp4 files to my iPod. Everytime I drag a .mp4 video to my iPod, I'm getting an error message - "Some songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "xxxx", were not copied to iPod "xxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod.". Can you help with that? Thanks

    That error is saying that the format can not be read on your iPod.I get this message when adding my video's to iTunes. So you need to convert them here are converters

  • IPod Nano 3g no longer syncs (some) mp4 videos when they used to sync

    iTunes 9.0.3.15 with iPod Nano 3g (1.1.3) on AMD Windows 7 64 bit
    Videos which used to play on the iPod, no longer will sync to the ipod. They used to sync when I had Windows XP but after a disk crash and now using Windows 7 64 bit, they dont.
    The videos play just fine in itunes, they just refuse to sync.
    Some videos that I have do go, but there is no obvious difference between them (file names, formats, etc).
    I have reset the ipod to factory.
    item type mp4 video
    Video

    Any suggestions as to how I can diagnose this, are welcomed.

    Ok, I may seem like a noob, cos I am.
    But, I did discover the 'create an iPod/iPhone' version' (right click the video file)
    It creates a nice small file (about 30% of the original), in a location I cannot control and ends up showing me two identical entries in iTunes that I cannot pick the difference between without doing a 'Get Info' and looking at the filename!
    Best of all, this nice small file has NO Video.
    I failed to find any settings in which I could nominate the target device, after all, they all have different screen sizes, you would think I could optimise it for my devices screen size.
    I even transferred the converted content (after finding it) to a real OS (linux) and mplayer spits about too many audio packets and vlc simply plays sound.
    And Apple software is supposed to be user friendly...

  • Copying MP4 videos onto computer from iPod?

    I use Podplus to copy mp3 format songs from my ipod, it's a very handy program. Unfortunately, it can't recognize or copy mp4 video files onto my computer. Is there a program out there that will?

    On it's homepage iPodCopy lists transfer of videos as one of it's capabilities, I'm sure there are others as well. If you put "transfer video from iPod to iTunes" into your favourite search engine you'll probably get hits for a few more: iPodCopy
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod

  • Can I Transfer a Homemade MP4 Video to the iPod?

    How can I transfer a video from a non TV or Movie iTunes source to my iPod Nano 5Gen so I can view it there?
    The format for videos the iPod takes is MP4 VGA video H.264 w/AAC 30 fps. I have been able to export videos to MP4 using Quicktime Pro with the criteria below, then transfer them to the DCIM\000APPLE iPod folder and view them so long as I replace videos already in that folder with the exact same name. However, when I add new videos with the same criteria to the DCIM\000APPLE folder, they do not show up in Videos on the iPod.
    Quicktime Pro Export criteria:
    MP4
    Video
    H.264
    256 kbps, Optimized for Download
    640x480VGA
    Preserve aspect, Fit within size
    30 frame rate
    Key frame every 24

    As a matter of interest you can load videos of any length up to your iPods hard drive capacity.
    I have several 1.5 - 2 hour films which play perfectly.
    How long your battery will last if you play them is, of course, a different matter.

  • Music and videos no longer upload after ipod software updated

    I recently updated the software on my ipod to the latest version (1.2.2). I just clicked yes when the pop up asked whether I wanted to or not. Next thing I know, my music and videos no longer upload onto the ipod. They appear to be syncing because itunes shows syncing progress and stuff. It actually says the music is uploading on itunes but when i go onto my ipod there's no music or videos on it at all. The pictures however do upload. What could be the problem?

    I recently updated the software on my ipod to the latest version (1.2.2).
    This is an iPod Classic you have because the latest firmware version is 1.0.2.

  • Can't restore iPod classic 60GB video.  Cannot Allocate Memory - Disk Utility

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching the boards and am yet to find a result.
    I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD.  It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop.  I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook.  I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
    I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
    The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
    All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill.  Can anybody help?

    See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.

  • "Video was not copied  because it cannot be played on this Ipod"...help!!

    I recently tried syncing a video to my Ipod touch 2nd gen and it displays the message "video was not copied because it cannot be played on this Ipod" in Itunes. I have looked everywhere for an answer and nobody seems to have the same problem. I've tried restoring my Ipod and stuff, nothing seems to work. Can someone help?

    Since upgrading to ios4 I have been having problems with my itouch. Now some pod casts will not download. Some, like BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy, I have been downloading and playing for months without any problem. I now get the message "cannot be played on this ipod". I have not tried downloading through itunes but this doesn't really help me as I like to download podcasts at coffeshops etc as I want to listen to them. I feel that there are serious problems with ios4 that Apple is not addressing. Has anyone come up with a fix as I see others having similar trouble? I have already tried resting the itouch but all I accomplished was losing a lot of data from some of my apps.

  • I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported.  What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Mp4 videos in my library wont update to iPod

    I have a few mp4 videos which I can watch in the itunes viewer, that when I do the automatic update they wont go to the ipod. Anyone know why?

    the weird thing is that many of the other videos do
    actually make it to the iPod for instance a couple of
    videos ive downloaded and some other mp4's.
    Also, make sure that the preferences are indeed set correctly...
    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    I would, however, check what b posted first!

  • How do I take a MP4 video and get it to my iPod?

    I have a MPEG4 video and I don't know how to get it onto my fifth generation iPod
    help please?

    If you've got the latest (I mean LATEST) version of iTunes, it will require only .m4a files. Click on your .mp4 video file, right click (if your on windows) and click on 'convert selection for iPod'. Takes a while but it works!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do i get my mp4 videos on my ipod?

    I have tried handbrake but the videos once converted look a lot blurry than the original. I have tried Prismz. Itunes does not accept my mp4 videos. I have even tried converting them from quicktime and still no luck. Please help.

    You do not.  Instead you convert the videos to a format that can be played on the iPod.

  • MP4 video poster controls no longer functioning.

    MP4 video poster controls no longer functioning. Video loops back to the beginning even though the settings are to stop at the last frame. Also video is pausing on tap yet i have the 'Do Not Allow Pause' checked.
    Double checked the publish setting and it's set to v23, which when these features were released.
    Previous folios (published before v25) are working fine but new one using v25 tools is not working.

    Stop at Last Frame works fine for me using the v25 tools.
    Open your folio properties and make sure that v25 is selected. Then update the article containing the video. (In some cases, you can have a folio in one version with articles in a previous version if they haven't been updated.)
    Let us know how that goes.

  • Mp4 video download onto 5th generation ipod

    Does anyone know if MP4 video from an MP4 camcorder is downloadable onto a 5th generation ipod? I have downloaded podcasts and video purchased from itunes, but I would like to make some home movies that can be added to my ipod. Before I invest in the MP4 video equipment, I'd like to know for sure this is possible. Can someone tell me?

    Does this article answer your question?

  • Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

    I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
    I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
    However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
    Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
    Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
    Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.
