IPod/iTunes Video Help.

I have been putting videos onto my iPod for awhile now. I've been using PSPWare to convert my .avi video files into .mp4 files. It has been working wonderfully but recently it just won't work. I used PSPWare to convert a file and tried to add it into iTunes just like all the files in the past, but I will not appear in my library. I tried another file but it too wont work. Does anyone know why this is happening? Or what I could do to fix it?
I hope you can help, and if not thanks for reading anyways.

Well my computer is very old. I usually don't even try to play videos on my computer. I wait until they are on my iPod to watch them. So no, I havn't tried to play the video yet. Neither of the two that work.
And I havn't changed anything manually on my computer recently. Nothing that I can think of that would have anything to do with the function of iTunes or PSPWare.

Ipod ITunes library help please!!!

Hi, i hope someone can help. I had to return my laptop to work and it contained my ITunes library (i have spent a fortune). I thought that i had stored all the purchased songs on a memory stick but when i put this into my new laptop it won't work. I have all the songs still on the Ipod and was hoping that i could somehow tranfer them from the Ipod to the laptop to create the same ITunes library again. I could kick myself now for not getting it done properly, can anyone give me a glimmer of hope?

You can use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

MAJOR iPod/iTunes/Computer Help Needed

Ok heres the problem. I get a virus on my comp awhile back, so i have to System Recovery on my comp. Iv had viruses and done this system recovery to my comp many times. And every time i get it working after the system recovery my iTunes wont work, also meaning the iPod cant get hooked up and upload music, it gives me the whole "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" crap.
Iv had this problem many times before, and it usually takes me awhile of just doing random **** for it to work, but lately iv had diff. **** going on so i couldnt work on it, but i tried earlier today to fix it.
I always remembered downloading a new iTunes from Apple.com, and after doing some **** installing that and it working, just having to update/install the iPod.
Thing is i cant remember all i did to get the new iTunes to install. Right now i have tried deleting all the "corrupt" iTunes files & stuff, and installing the new iTunes, but no luck, still not working.
If anybody can help it would be great, if u need to ask me a question about it, hit me on a PM.
thanks alot for any help.

For your itunes folder 'You' are the owner.
It should read: 'Owner: YourLoginname'. If it's not, click on the little padlock symbol and change it to the name you use to log in.
You normaly don't have to change ownership at 'Group' (which at my computer says 'staff') and 'Others', but you can change it to 'Read & Write'.
Below 'Others' (just above the 'Comments:' pane) there should be a button 'Apply to enclosed items...'

Need iTunes Video Help BAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!

I can download videos onto iTunes fine, but when I got to play them, the video and audio is very choppy, and it freezes, then plays, freezes, then plays...on and on. I've tried changing everything that iTunes will let me change, but I'm stumped. I've even tried changing the resolution on my screen. I've never had problems playing videos before....Can anyone help?!

hi bamapod!
hmmm. the video and audio playback capability in itunes is provided by Quicktime, so let's focus our attention on that. there are several posts in this thread that have been helpful for folks (view all):

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

Hi all!
I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
Background:
For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
Now the problems start:
When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
(nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
Any ideas will be most welcome!
Thank you very much in advance.
Peter
P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

IPod Classic won't Restore and FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES! Help.

Hi. First, the specifics:
I have an iPOD Classic (120GB).
I have Windows Vista R2 (64-bit).
I have the latest version of iTunes, yes, for 64-bit.
With that out of the way, I started seeing issues with my iPod not being able to play certain songs. I'd find the song, hit the play arrow, nothing would happen. The time would not move, song would not play. Here's what I've tried to do initially:
Re-install iTunes, re-sync.
Still wouldn't play these songs.. Not all, but many songs.
So, I tried to Restore.
Initially, it looked like it was restoring properly - - but took way longer than usual. Like 2 hours. At the end, I got an error "Could not sync this song, Could not sync iPod."
I looked at iPod, had to set it up, choose ENGLISH as language, etc. Search iPod, found NO MUSIC, NO VIDEOS, etc.
Tried simply re-syncing, wouldn't work.
So, I disconnected, restarted my computer and tried to RESTORE again.
I connect it via a USB 2.0 and the iPod cable. I have been doing this for years and years and this iPod has worked for the 3 years I have had it.
I have had iPod since their inception, so I'm not a rookie. I also have an iPhone and an iPad2.
So I connect the iPod as usual. NOW, it basically FREEZES iTunes. I CONTL-ALT-DEL and find it's always iTunes (NOT RESPONDING).
This happens EVERY TIME... I tried restarting several times, same issue.
So, I unistalled all components of iTunes > RESTART COMPUTER.
I re-download the latest version of iTunes, yes the correct one.
I tried syncing or restoring. DOESN'T RECOGNIZE iPOD, FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES.
HERE'S OTHER THINGS I have tried:
RESTORING from DISK MODE. (DID NOT WORK, LOCKS iTUNES)
I downloaded the Windows Update for Vista that helps not corrupt iPod when disconnecting too early.
Downloaded update, did NOT help with the issue.
Un-installed iTunes again. Restarted computer. Re-installed newest version of iTunes.
ONE THING TO POINT OUT, when I connect my iPod, iTunes launches if not open and I get a WINDOWS box that says:
MICROSOFT WINDOWS:
Do You Want To Scan And Fix Errors on Steven's iPod (L:) ??
I tried both options: YES, Try to Fix, NO - Continue
That doesn't work, and iTunes still freezes regardless of option.
Again, tried DISK MODE, tried Regular mode...
Nothing works...
PLEASE HELP...

Guys, if you all having the same problem as Steven, then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Main cause is the iPod Hardisk is dying, but if the DD report are good, then it is the USB connection timeout.
So have a go at the Disk Diagnostic first.

2 error messages from ipod/itunes. Will not sync anything. HELP!

I JUST GOT MY NEW 3G 8GB RED IPOD NANO THIS MORNING AND AS SOON AS I PLUGGED IT IN, IT WONT SYNC. THE FIRST TIME I PLUGGED IT IN IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTED SYNCING MY MUSIC BUT I STOPPED IT BECUASE I WANTED TO MANUALLY PICK MY SONGS.
NOW EVERYTIME I HOOK THE IPOD UP AND TRY TO SYNC SONGS, VIDEOS, OR PHOTOS THE LIST OF EVENTS HAPPEN..
-PLUG IN IPOD AND WAIT FOR IT TO COME UP
-MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS "SONGS ON THE IPOD CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE ALL OF THE PLAYLISTS SELECTED FOR SYNCING NO LONGER EXIST"
-CLICKS "OKAY" AND TRIES TO SYNC A FEW SONGS (OR ANYTHING ELSE) ON THERE ANYWAY
-ITUNES SAYS IT'S SYNCING AND KIND OF FREEZES FOR ABOUT 3 MIN. (TASK MANAGER SAYS STILL RESPONDING"
-"SYNCING" STOPS AND ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS "THE IPOD CANNOT BE SYNCED. THE REQUIRED DISC CANNOT BE FOUND."
I have no idea what to do, please help me.

*MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS "SONGS ON THE IPOD CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE ALL OF THE PLAYLISTS SELECTED FOR SYNCING NO LONGER EXIST*
You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

ITunes 7.0.1 & iPod 30G video--freeze while trying to synch/update.

I updated to iTunes 7, and then to 7.0.1 a few days ago. I have had no problems downloading/uploading (other than the fact that downloads are much slower than in version 6) or playing music or videos in iTunes 7 or 7.0.1, however, I have been unable to synch my 30GB video iPod with iTunes. I haven't been able to upload any of my new downloads since going to iTunes 7 or 7.0.1--frustrating! I plug in my iPod, iTunes starts up, it starts the synch, and within seconds I get the spinning beach ball of death. The progress bar stops moving at about 1/3 of the way across. I don't get any error messages, it just freezes. I left it for over an hour and no progress. I have to force quit iTunes, usually twice, to get it to stop, and then when I try to eject my iPod I get a message saying the iPod is in use by another user. I rebooted my iPod, to no avail.
The second aspect of this issue is that I didn't update my iPod to 1.2--assuming that has anything to do with present problems, but maybe not--before I updated iTunes, and now I can't. Since iTunes freezes when I have the iPod plugged in, I can't access the iPod preferences menu, can't update, nothing...
I am a new iPod user, and am by no means techno savvy, so please forgive me if I am overlooking the major and obvious. I have spent a lot of time combing various forums/discussions, and haven't found any answers. Any help appreciated!

ITunes keeps saying that my 60GB iPod with Video is corrupted when it's not

I have an 60GB iPod with Video that iTunes keeps saying is corrupted when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. Although it seems to only happen after using it for more than a short amount of time before syncing it. I just watched a 5 minute video after I ejected my iPod and when I synced it after that, iTunes did not say it was corrupted. Although when I used it for over 3 hours earlier today and synced it, iTunes said it was corrupted. When iTunes says it is corrupted, I eject the iPod and resync it, and it's always fine the second time. This issue has been ongoing for a month or two now and it's starting to get annoying. I bought the iPod last June.

it can be some corrupted files or bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
