Ipod no longer syncs video. Why?

On the 20th July 2011 I updated to itunes 10.4, ever since then I have been unable to sync videos to my ipod. the program I use to convert videos has not changed. The video format has not changed. Aside from total size and length the videos are identical to each other only the ones transferred before this update are on the ipod, and any I attempt to transfer since do not.
Why?
There is no logical reason behind this, it is infuriating. All I get is a message telling me "cannot sync video to ipod as it is unable to be played on this ipod.". is there a way to get further information from this message? Is it possible for it to tell me the exact reason it refuses to transfer the file? that would be lovely.
All I want for Christmas is my videos on my ipod.

Video format has not changed, aside from total size and length?
iPod has lower H264 format, up to 1.5mps 640x480.
iPod can play the following video formats:
* H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* H.264 video, up to 768 kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
When you convert, go for the lower quality iPod format if you want to play it on iPod, else the new iTunes will convert to higher format of 1080p  for iPhones, iPad
Good Luck!

  • ITunes & iPod no longer sync. Why?

    I moved all mt data from 1 Mac to another. I have done this many times over the years. this is the first time I have came up with this error.
    The "iPod Stuart Carters iPod" cannot be updated. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    This happens with either iTunes 6.0.4 starts up and tried to autoupdate the ipod or I go to the iTunes drop menu and move my mouse down to Update iPod.
    I have Repaired Permissions using Disk Utility 10 times to make no difference to my issue.
    Anyway have a idea what it is what how to fix it?

    That looks like an Ownership & Permissions issue of your Home folder.
    The desktop actually is a folder inside your Home folder.
    The mailboxes also are inside the Home folder (~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Mail/Mailboxes)
    Some folders/files might not have the correct permissions.
    Open the Users folder on your HD, click on the Home icon (has your username) and Get Info.
    Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'.
    You must read 'you can Read & Write'
    At 'Owner:' your username
    Access: Read & Write
    'Group:' probably is set to 'admin' and R&W. If not, no need to change it.
    'Others:' Read only
    Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...'
    Wait until finished. You may want to log out and log in, but normally this is not necessary.
    Hope your iTunes, Mail and desktop problems are fixed.

  • Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    I have this question too.  I made my own video on my iPhone 4S.  I want to put it on my iPad.  I synced it to my iPhoto, and trying now to move it to iPad.  The computer WILL NOT do this.  Why not? I occasionally get messages it's not in a correct format, but for God's sake, I filmed it on the phone, in whatever format Apple uses.  ***?

  • 5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

    My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder.  If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application.  Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

  • Existing Ipod No Longer Syncing

    I have an older version of the ipod nano. I recently imported a cd and downloaded the free single of the week into iTunes. When I go to sync my ipod, iTunes says that my ipod is syncing and then says ipod update is complete. On my ipod it will continuously flash a red no sign and say "Do Not Disconnect" underneath, even though in iTunes it says the update is complete. I have tried ejecting my ipod and when I look under the recently added folder or music folder my new songs aren't there.
    Also, after I plug in the ipod and iTunes recognizes it under devices, the only screen it gives me is the "Register Your Ipod Screen". If I try to click on "Never Register" or "Register Later" the top of iTunes says "ipod update is complete" and won't change the screen. I eventually registerd my ipod and I still can't get to the ipod summary screen.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how to get iTunes to add my new songs from my computer to my ipod, and how to allow me to view my ipod summary screen?? Sorry this is so long but I jsut wanted to include some details if anyone else has had this same problem and knows what to do. THANKS!

    I forgot to post this info -- I just got a new laptop (Vista) and installed the latest version of itunes. I had my ipod plugged into the laptop (to see which version it required) and it was plugged in +while itunes installed+. NOW my ipod no longer syncs on my desktop. The desktop is Windows XP and has itunes version 6.something. Would this affect the 'syncing' process? WHAT THE HECK CAN I DO TO FIX IT? Please help me!!

  • Why will my gen2 ipod no longer sync podcasts. I can still download from music from itunes itunes

    Why is my ipod gen2 no longer syncing podacasts. They appear on itunes page but will not transfer to ipod. Music is still working fine. Thank you.

    If at all possible, copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527).  Otherwise, you will lose and music that was not purchased from the iTune store unless you use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer it to your new computer.  See this article for how to move to a new computer with minimal or no data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

  • IPod no longer syncs with computer

    My iPod will no longer sync with my laptop. I keep getting the following message:
    "The iPod "JRT's iPod" cannot be syned. You do not have enough access privledges for this operation."
    Apple told me tht it was a problem with my Norton 360 software. I have since removed the software and the problem still persists.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with             
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod no longer sync's with ITunes 6

    I upgraded to iTunes 6 last night, and now when I connect my iPod it no longer sync's. Although it does show the battery charging on the iPod, and System Profiler shows it is connected to USB port, it does not mount and iTunes doesn't show an iPod connected.
    Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?

    Similar problem here.... my calendars sync but I get an error trying to set up the contacts syncing and it won't sync them.
    I got totally screwed when they took the iPod and .mac syncing out of iSync, cause I also sync my phone and Palm, and syncing either of those doesn't work right either.

  • Ipod no longer syncs

    Can no longer transfer music to IPod. ITunes attempts the transfer then gives message 'The IPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)'
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Mark,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try this:
    1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
    2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
    3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
    4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
    The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.
    Others have had luck with the solution provided in this Apple support document. It does say error 50 but may apply to your situation as well. It's worth a shot.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    Lastly, others have had success by uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. Worth a shot if necessary right?
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod won't sync videos, photos, restore....

    I got a 30gb iPod video (5G) and the latest iTunes installed. I managed to sync all my music into the ipod but when i tried to sync some videos (already on mpg4 format), after like 2 minutes of waiting, i get the following error: "The iPod 'username's iPod' cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." I tried re-installing iTunes, and restoring iPod to factory's settings but with no success. Instead I get an unknown (1418) error, after some time in the "Restoring 'username's iPod" status bar. What is happening?

    I am having the same issue. I have the latest iTunes version and can't Sync my photos. I can't remove the photos on the iPod and can't add new ones. I get the same message about unable to Sync because it can't find the folder yet iTunes lists the selected folder and knows how many photos are in it. I've tried everything short of restoring the ipod. I don't want to have to load all the songs back on there if I can avoid it. Any suggestions?

  • IPod no longer syncing with address book

    I have an older iPod that has always worked great, and it still does except it now no longer syncs my contacts from my address book.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    When you synced the iPod, go to iTunes and your iPod will automatically be listed under "Devices" on the left column.  Click on it and it will tell you what kind of device you have, the version, and other info if you click on the tabs above the iPod's picture.  The tabs are "Summary," "Apps," "Music," "TV Shows," "Books," "Photos," and "Info."  Click Info, and click the box next to "Sync Contacts."  It should work then.

  • My iPod No Longer Syncs!

    Hi everyone. I have a 6 GB iPod and recently when I tried to transfer some new songs onto my iPod, it wouldn't work since I had over 6 GB of music in iTunes. When iTunes asked if it could create its own playlist to transfer onto my iPod, I declined the offer. Thereafter, I deleted all the preset playlists (e.g. Top 25 played), thinking that it would leave some extra space on my iPod. After this, I tried to sync my iPod again, and a screen came up claiming "all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
    I need some help...though I fear that deleting this version of iTunes and re-installing it will erase all of my music in iTunes. What should I do in order to sync my iPod properly again??
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Create one or two playlists for the Nano to sync to, then change your iPod preferences to sync the Nano to only those couple of playlists. It is not necessary to re-install.

  • I can no longer sync videos from iTunes to my iPhone 6 after updating to 8.0.2.

    After updating to 8.0.2, my movies disappeared from my iPhone - it states "No Content".  My iTunes show that I have "Sync Movies" checked with 9 movies selected, but they are not syncing.  When I choose, "Sync", iTunes go through all the steps, but no movies sync.   When i deselect "Sync Movies" then reselect it, the bar at the bottom shows the Purple portion that represents Movies - it goes through with the syncing process, then the Movie portion disappears when the sync is done, thus leaving NO movies synced to my device.

    Disregard this... I found the issue.  I have AirWatch MDM installed.  For some reason, the restrictions blocked me from syncing videos.  I don't know how that happened being that I am the Admin for the AirWatch MDM at my company - I made sure i allowed everything possible being that its configured for BYOD.  I guess something with the update to 8.0.2 screwed with it somehow.  It worked fine after uninstalling the AirWatch Profile and MDM.
