IPod Manual Video Update

I was wondering if there was a way to add videos to the ipod and delete them off your computer with deleting them off the ipod with auto matic updates
thanks

I've been looking for information on the same thing. As far as I know, it isn't possible. The only way to keep the videos on your ipod and not on the computer that I know of is to turn your update to manual. This is a hastle, because on manual, you have to manually update each song evertime you change something. I've been fooling around with it and I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Manual Vs. Automatic iPod Song/Video Updates

i accidently changed my settings to manual and had to import the last 7 things which are all videos onto my ipod which is fine. but than when i go back to change my settings to automatic it deletes all the videos off my ipod. the only way to get them back on is if i do manual update and i don't want that setting.
how do i change my settings back to automatic with those 7 most recent files staying on my ipod?

Manual video update

I am running out of space on my hard drive, so I have my ipod set to manually update to keep everything on there instaid of my comp. anyway, whenever I copy my movies over, they copy to the ipod, just not under TV shows/ Music videos/ Movies. They just go to the recently added playlist even though I have each video set as what type of video it is in its options. So how do I fix this?

IPod nano video update

My iPod nano (5th gen) will not allow me to play videos, i know i need an update but where do i find this update?
All help is really appreciated.

No problem. Have you tried reconverting them in iTunes using iTunes built in converter? To do this, highlight each video and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When they are finished, try resyncing the newly converted videos to see if that helps.
Other than that, I don't have to many other suggestions regarding this issue. Sorry.

Ipod set to manual, video options grayed out, no copying

First, I was experimenting, which is why I am having the following issue. My ipod 30gig Video was formatted on Windows XP when purchased. I decided I wanted the new update, but to do that I had to get rid of everything and use the iPod CD to convert the iPod to a Mac format. I used PodUtil and copied every song and video purchased from Mac and stored them on my computer hard drive. The format to mac was flawless, even re-importing all the songs and videos into my iTunes library. I copied all the songs back into my iPod, no problems. Problem now...none of the Clone Wars, Avatar or other videos will copy to my iPod. I can highlight all of them , drag them to the ipod and get the green plus sign, but no copying occurs. Under iPod>options>videos, everything is grayed out. I can't choose anything. Under iPod>options>Music, it is set to manage playlists and music manually. So, how can I get my legally purchased Mac videos into my iPod now? Videos I have edited in Final Cut Pro and exported in the iPod format copy over flawlessly. For a tedious solution, I could import all the videos bought from apple into final cut pro and re-export them as iPod formats and then import the newly converted versions back into my iPod, but there is no garauntee that will work. Any ideas ?

Hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys while connecting your iPod. Keep them down until iTunes has opened and your iPod shows in the Source list.

Video iPod setting preferences, updating of videos

I have a 5th Gen. Video iPod which works very well but I'm a bit confused about using it with two computers and having downloads from Music Store coming into one or the other one. Plus under the Preferences area, Videos, it is checked 'Do not update videos' but it is greyed out so I can't even select auto update or manual =
1. is the Videos choices greyed out because they're automatically set because this is a video ipod? it doesn't seem to let me choose whether to update or not
2. I have a G5 and a 12" Powerbook and this iPod. Sometimes I'm finding things at the Music Store, including videos, on my G5, but I use the video iPod with the Powerbook. I've set up Music, Podcasts and Photos for manual updates. But what about Videos? I don't see a way to set that up and am concerned I'll download videos to the G5 but then not be able to move them to the video iPod, or the 12" PB which is my main video computer.
Thanks.

You have a good suggestion ....so, because I set up
ViPod to get music and podcasts manually that will
control the video selections? I'll check out your
explanation...seems logical. Much thanks.
Right. If you set your iPod to automatically update music, it will automatically update videos. However, as you use two different computers, that may not work for you.

Manually Manage Music Option get error The iPod cannot be updated error(-50

I am following the instructions on how to move music to a new computer. When I get to the step "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use" and try to apply the 'Manually manage music' option, I get the following error: 'The iPod (my iPod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50). I have tried moving my dock between the two USB ports on my Dell but nothing works..can someone help?

I tried some additional things and it seems to have fixed the problem.
First, I forced the iPod Service to close using the Windows task manager (control-alt-delete and then closing it). I then restored my iPod to its original factory settings using that option in iTunes.
I renamed the iPod and then set up what I wanted to sync with it. I have made a couple of changes and they have worked.

How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?

Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks

iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

How do I "drag" the entire contents of a library onto Ipod (manual update)

I can select the entire library to highlight it, but when I point on it with my mouse and try to drag it over, it's not working for me. I sometimes get the blockout symbol, but that's about it. HELP PLEASE!
Much thanks.

Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but do you have iTunes set to manage your iPod manually (which isn't possible for an iPod shuffle, if that's what you have)?

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.

The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or.....

The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to. First, what disk is this talking about. Also, when i "update" my ipod none of my videos get transfered to the ipod any more. Couple weeks ago the series "Monk" was always transferred from itunes to the ipod, but now, it doesnt show up on my ipod. When i go to the ipod options and select the videos tab, it doesnt let me choose to manually update the videos or automatically do it.

It's referring to the iPod's hard drive, see if any of the troubleshooting steps in this article help: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

IPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48

Help - have installed iTunes 7.0.1 and am trying to keep ALL the music on my iPod so have tried to set the options to manual update. But although the computer senses the iPod is connected, when I try and drag new files to my iPod, I get the message "iPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48" Any advice gratefully received

Hey!
Just an update since last week.
Still comes up with the "Unknown Error_48" when coupled to the Mac.Doesn't sync to iTunes and says it's upto date in the summary.Never had any issues like this (until iTunes 7 and 1.2).Kinda renders the whole iPod thing a bit useless.
Being able to update the library on your Pod is essential.Otherwise what's the point?My Pod still 'works'but not quite the way Apple intended I think.
SORT IT OUT APPLE!!
