IPod Not Syncing Videos

I recently (like-2 minutes ago) finished downloading a TV Show from iTunes. I synced my iPod-but the TV Show did not show up. It says it doesn't exist on my iPod. I have had this problem with artists as well. I couldn't find 2 artists on the 'Artist' list, but i could find their songs. what do i do?? (i pressed menu and center button and i reset it and re-downloaded and the artists still dont show up) please HELP!

I figured it out too. I clicked on the tab podcast in itunes and selected to sync all. If you are trying to sync videos I imagine the movie tab is where you would go to select to sync the movie/s.

80gb ipod not syncing video

I have all the boxes checked, i have 60gb of free space, music is syncing fine, but when i click sync to try to sync the three tv episodes i bought off the itunes store, it ;syncs but the shows aren't added. video podcasts are syncing, so i guess the problem is just that the tv shows aren't syncing

Hello Tedlocks,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If these videos are TV Shows, and their *Media Type* is set to "TV Show", then you will have to configure your iPod to sync TV Shows from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes.
More information on syncing TV Shows can be found under # 6 from this Apple support document.

Ipod not syncing video files?

When I try to sync a video file Itunes crashes and Windows says it's stopped working.
It is a relatively large video file, but theres plenty of space?
Whats wrong?
Update:
I tried to sync a small video file and it got right to the end of the progress bar and crashed.

Oh, don't worry
My cousin helped out, seemed to be a problem with things relying on other programs, for example contacts.. After these were removed from the sync it all worked fine.

Trudy,
Make sure your iPod is configured to sync this playlist from under it's Music configuration tab in iTunes. You can access this tab when your iPod is plugged in.

Video Ipod Not Syncing All Videos

I am having trouble syncing some videos. They all play in ITunes, they are all proper formats for the Ipod and I have the settings marked to sync ALL videos. For some reason, however, one movie and no TV shows are syncing?! I can't figure it out. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, some videos (10 of them) don't copied to my ipod, but this videos were on my ipod before so this does not make sense, I get a message : SOme of the videos in your library, including the video "Walk Away", were not copied to the ipod "XXX" because they cannot be played on this ipod. The ipod have more then enough memory and the videos were there before. Does some one have an idea as how to fix this...PLEASE the videos are:Walk Away, Too little too late, Ain't no other man, check on it, complicated, fergalicious, glamorous, I write sins not tragedies, irreplaceable and public affair.... I paid for all of this videos and none one can help over the phone????

IPod not syncing with iTunes

Okay, I checked the other topics here but I don't see anything that quite matches my issue. I recently (like many others) updated to iTunes 9 (I'm using Windows Vista), and now my 5th Gen 30gb video iPod won't sync. I'm not getting any error messages, it's just... not doing anything. I click on 'sync', and the button fades like it usually does when it starts to sync, but it only does that for literally a second and then it just stops and goes back to normal. Nothing updates, nothing happens. It's still charging, and it's recognizing that it's connected, it just WILL NOT SYNC.
It's making me really sad. Anyone else having this issue? What should I do?

I hoped the updates to iTune 9 (iTunes 9.0.1) would resolve my issue but it has not. My 120GB iPod Classic does indeed sync with iTunes perfectly with one exception. Like OldWhiskers, my Smart Playlists of video podcasts will not sync with my iPod. The playlists work fine on my White 17" iMac (running Mac OS X 10.5.8... so it's not a Snow Leopard thing), but after syncing my iPod, the podcasts don't show up on the playlist under my iPod in iTunes or when I disconnect and look at them directly on the iPod. When look at the iPod, the smart playlists in question do not show up at all, but in iTunes under my iPod it says they're on the iPod, but there are no podcasts in those playlists. And it's not the podcasts that aren't syncing. They're on the iPod under podcasts, but just don't show up in the smart playlist on my iPod or under iPod in iTunes. So until this is resolved I'm just watching my podcasts smart playlist on my Mac and not even bothering syncing the podcasts to my iPod. I would have to constantly navigate to the next podcast every time one finished. Very annoying. Smart playlists have me spoiled and are the reason I bought an iPod and use iTunes over Zune and other alternatives... so fix it, cause that HD Zune would look nice docked to my HDTV.

IPod not syncing with iTunes 7

Hello,
I've been using an Intel iMac with iTunes 7 and a 30GB fifth generation iPod. Everything was working fine until I installed iTunes 7.
I've managed to sync all my Music with my Ipod. But if I try to change some of the iPod settings within iTunes, and save those changes, the iMac can't find the iPod to sync! It says something like "waiting to connect to iPod" and then "iPod not found". The iPod is in it's dock, connected via USB to the iMac.
I can't believe this problem has anything to do with hardware, as everything used to work smoothly with iTunes 6. Like I said, since upgrading to iTunes 7, the iMac is having trouble connecting with the iPod.
Any thoughts?

iTunes 7 + iPod = many sad people. Has anyone had any luck? I am unable to "Enable Disk Use" for the same reason that others above have had. I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem.
I have read about some with the same problems that have had success using this article. May be helpful to some of you (it didn't work for me).

ITUnes not syncing video form iPhoto

Hi,
Since iTunes 10.1 has been installed on my iMac (with IOS 4.2.1) videos from iPhoto do not sync anymore, despite the setting in iTunes 'include video' being selected.
Anybody else experiences the same?
Thanks!
JP.

You may have figured it out by now. None of the resetting of the iPod or the rebuilding of the iPhoto library (command+option) or permission rebuilding works to solve a -208 error when the error refers to an iPhoto library sync with iTunes. Supposedly, this error occurs with corrupt AIFF files as well. This error will occur on different iPods which try to sync to the same iPhoto library. The iPhoto library is definitely corrupted. Mine was due to a sudden power loss.
NOTE: I do not "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" under Advanced iPhoto preferences, so that my photos don't have a chance of getting messed up (like error -208s). If you do, the steps below may be different for you. Always a good idea to back up your photos.
Here is how I fixed it. All the steps may not be necessary. Go to /pictures directory under your user (or wherever your iPhoto library is located), and rename the "iPhoto Library" or whatever you called it to something else, like "iPhoto Library 2". Open iPhoto, and it can't find the library, and asks if you want to find it or create a new one. Tell it to create a new one, and put at least a picture in the library. Sync with iPod, which should work without error and put the picture on your iPod. Close iTunes. Close iPhoto. Now, to save all your pictures (thumbnails) already in the iPhoto library, copy everything BUT "iPod Photo Cache" folder, which seems to be the culprit, from the "iPhoto Library 2" folder into the "iPhoto Library" folder. Open iPhoto, and all your pictures should now be in the library. Open iTunes and sync iPod, and all your pictures should sync out without error.

IPOD not syncing with Outlook 2007 Calendar

Hello:
I have an iPOD video 30gb. The latest firmware (1.2.1) is installed and I'm using version 7.1.1.5 of iTunes on Windows XP Pro SP2. I'm trying to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook 2007 (full enterprise edition).
I read a lot of discussion threads and KB articles. I even talked to a tech support person, but no one has been able to help yet. I have disk use enabled and syncing with Microsoft Outlook contacts and calendar set.
My contacts transfer fine, but my outlook calendar does not sync with my iPOD.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be happening and how to fix it?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter

Itunes not syncing Videos/Movies

Itunes will not sync my movies, rentals, nor videos i have bought from itunes.
This is my 3rd ipod classic given to me by the apple store to "fix" the problem that has yet to be "fixed". It will sync the very first time i plug it in as in, just straight out of the package. but never again will it sync. i have tried loading it maunally but that doesnt work either. and since all the people do at the store is hand me a new one i have no other options.

I had that same problem when I tried adding the "Blue Harvest" digital copy to my itunes (family guy movie). If you have an ipod "nano," which one is it? Be sure that the iPod you are using is video capable and has enough memory to take on a movie or video. A 40~45 minute TV show eats up about 450~500mb.
I have the new square looking 3rd generation iPod, so I'll try help. What you do is make sure the cord is NOT connected to your computer yet, plug it into your ipod, then plug the other end into the USB port. It should automatically sync up. After the syncing is complete, select your ipod in the column on the left hand side of the screen. It should look like a little ipod in the column of music lists and other stuff.
Once that is selected, you should see something that has the amount of space that's on your ipod and other interesting information showing on the main menu on your itunes. If you look at the top of that, there should be a row of tabs. Click the one that says Movies/Videos (one or the other, not sure right now, but it should be obvious which tab to click).
Once that is selected, there will be two options. One will already be set, click the other one and set it up so that it syncs up your selected movies, videos, tv shows, etc...
Right after that, don't go anywhere, click on APPLY at the bottom of the screen. It should start syncing up again and that will add the movies/videos to your ipod. It may take a little while to load up, but no more than a few minutes.
Hope this helps, J.

ITunes will not sync videos

I try syncing videos to my ipod touch second generation and it never syncs. I dont know what is happening, can someone help me?

From the Tech Specs for the iPod Touch...
TV and video
Support for *480p and 576p* component TV out

The Touch does not support HD video playback, never has.
I believe that HD videos come with the SD version included, I think these are what you have been previously synching to your Touch.

IPod not syncing on Windows or Mac

My sister recently purchased a Macbook. I tried using her iPod to move her songs from her PC to the new Mac (as mentioned elsewhere) but it didn't work. I ended up just wiping the whole ipod and moving songs with a USB travel drive.
When I synced up her ipod to the Macbook, I restored it to format it for Mac. The songs started to load and about 3/4 of the way through her library I received this error message.
"Attempting to copy to the disk <ipod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have tried using the "Disk cannot be read" troubleshooting page, but none of these suggestions help - it is a brand new Macbook - she literally bought it yesterday, and I have tried to use both a firewire and a USB cable that work fine with another ipod and computer. Disgruntled, I tried hooking up the ipod again, once again restoring it since data categorized as "other" was showing up on the iPod on the iTunes summary page. Once again, a few songs in we got another error message.
"The iPod <name> cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod on the Macbook three times now. Each time, it goes through restore, and then when it is syncing with the music library it gives the error message as above, iTunes freezes and I have to either forcequit or manually remove the ipod.
Giving up, I figured I'd just load the songs onto the iPod from the PC. So I reformated/restored for Windows and synced up the iPod. The first error message I got was:
"The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive F: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed."
I unplugged the ipod and there was only one song on it. I plugged it back in and it started to sync only to give me this error message a few minutes in.
"Attempting to copy to the disk <name of ipod> failed. An unkown error occurred (-53)."
Now iTunes on the PC is frozen and I'm really confused and don't know what to do. She has an older iPod (3rd generation, dock connector) that has given her some problems over the years but nothing like this. Unfortunately, she's traveling tomorrow and really wants her iPod and music with her. At this point, neither the Mac nor the PC will load the music onto the iPod. What do we do? Also, she has Applecare for her new Mac, but it looks like the issue is with the iPod, not the computer - if I call them will they help me fix it? Should I bother trying to bring the iPod and the Mac into the local store?

Now it gets even weirder.
I tried plugging the iPod into a third computer (PC) which belongs to someone else. The computer restores, syncs and loads all of his songs onto her iPod perfectly fine.
The only thing that makes sense is that there's somethng about one or more of her songs that's causing this problem. Is there anyway for me to find out which songs are doing this?

Itunes 10.4.1: does not sync videos and does not communicate with outlook calendars

Hellos,
Since upgrade to itunes 10.4 I have found the following problems and no solutions yet from apple (altought version 10.3 worked flawlessly):
1)When you check "include videos" on the sync photos tab, you get an error. The "solution" is to uncheck sync videos, but what if you want your videos?
2)I noticed today the calendar has issues. Appointments you input in outlook (on a calendar that is supposedly synched with iphone/ipad) do not show on the devices and viceversa (although they do show on iphne and ipad if you sync both, but outlook is left behind.
In outlook I have calendar and calendar mobile (the second is the one I sync to iphone). To test, I included a new calendar (calendar mobile test) and I as suspected when trying to sync, the new calendar does not show in itunes options to check the selected calendars. The previous library info probably show my mobile calendar (that was synched already) but the new one does not show up, so I think there is really a problem in itunes.
These bugs have been around now for some time now, and I am really surprised that are not adressed more agressively by apple developers.
While videos may seem as a secondary thing if you look at it from a corporative point of view (but ****!!! I WANT my videos on the my ipad and iphone!!!!), not synching appointments you add to the ipad/iphone and you expect to show on outlook and viceversa, are meant to be an unplesant surprise for those who rely on these devices.
Bottomline: I like ipad/iphone, but APPLE..., you need to solve these issues that have been around the forum for some time now. Common!!!
Windows 7-64 bits

I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.
