Ipod touch 3rd gen not syncing movies

Today after about 4 years with the same movies on my Ipod touch third gen i decided to change what i had on my device. so i started up itunes for the first time in a few years pluged my device in and it connects no problem. i move all the movies i have into my itunes library. note all the movies are in a .mp4 format. they move into my library no problem. back up my device no problem. i check off in my library all the movies i want to sync along with in my sync settings to sync all videos. when i go to sync i get the warning that all current videos will be erased and replaced with the new movies. i agree and away the sync goes. the sync says it has 4 steps it runs the first 3 steps that are back up and prepare to sync steps but when it reaches step 4 i see it says waiting for changes to be applied but that lasts for half a second then the sync ends. i know it doesnt take half a second to load almost 10 GB. and on i pod touch third gen the movies didnt sync along with all my old movies are gone. i try again and again but no luck.
Any ideas?

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod touch 3rd Gen not fully starting up - constantly restarting with the apple logo screen

    Hi,
    First of all, I cannot get my ipod touch (3rd Gen) to start up so I cannot get model specifics and version numbers - though it is iOS 5.1.1
    I have obviously tried to restart it by holding the power and home button for 10 secs but this has not done anything.
    At the moment, the ipod switches on and I see the black screen with the white apple logo - this stays on for about 3 minutes, then I get the little spinning circle (but it isn't spinning) for a couple of minutes, before it powers off and does this again... repeatedly. It only stopped because the battery power ran out.
    I have connected it to my computer with the latest version of itunes - it appears in the devices list but just has a spinning 'loading' icon and is grayed out.  As my ipod restarts the cycle again as above, my computer makes the noise as if i just plugged it back in and the above happens again in itunes.
    The problem began when I updated apps (through update apps in app store) and it froze - I turned the ipod off to restart it, and now this is happening.
    Any help or advice extremely grateful... I can't even access it to get it restored which is a bit of a problem as I have work notes on it. (Obviously I don't know if notes are backed up on ipod backups through itunes?)
    Many, many thanks in advance!

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes.  Shows cable pointing to itunes logo.  Can't reset it.  Doesn't work at all.  Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck.  It suggested asking other users !

    I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer.  My itunes works with other apple devices I own.  I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off.  I can't reset it.  Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail.  Any suggestions ?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th gen not sync podcasts with my Windows Itunes? Both are up to date with versions.

    I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
    In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
    So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
    I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
    Any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • HT1386 iPod Touch 5th Gen not sync music on iTunes

    Hi,
        Have just bought an iPod Touch 5th Gen.
        When I sync with iTunes I get my podcasts without any problem but I do not get any of my music. It claims "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ..., were not copied to the iPod Touch because they could not be found"
        I am using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and ipod touch is version 6.0.1.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Go onto iTunes on your computer and go to your music and right click them and delete them.
    When your done, go to iTunes store --> purchased (it's on the side on the right) -> music and click on the cloud.
    OR
    On your iPod, do iTunes app -> More -> Purchased -> Music -> look for your artist and tap the cloud.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen not syncing photos

    One of my ipod touch's albums to sync is iPhoto's "last import" album. It always updates the album every time I import new photos into iPhoto. However, it has stopped doing that. I have old photos in my album now instead of the most recent import. In "Last Import" on my iPod, it's showing me my import from two times ago, not the most recent. I've clicked SYNC in iTunes about 5 times, but it won't update. My music and podcasts are all updated, just not my photos.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

  • Ipod Nano (3rd gen) not syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007

    I previously upgraded computers and now I can't sync my ipod with my outlook calendar. I upgraded to 2007. Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts or help. Thanks.

    iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
    You can send feedback on the upgrade here:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

  • How to recover lost files from ipod touch 3rd gen after sync?

    I synchronized my ipod touch in a new computer and it deleted all my files, and I did not have a back up neither my old sync computer. How can I recover my files?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is a backup listed with the date/time you synced?
    Do you have an iCloud backup?
    If yo use the same iCloud ID you should still have you contacts, calendar and other iCloud stuff.

  • Why isn't my iPod touch 3rd gen not turning on?

    Okay, so I turned my off and put it in my purse to go into a store. When I came out, not but at least 10-15 minutes later, I can't turn my iPod back on. It wasn't about to die when I turned it off, but I just assumed it died. I went home and but it on charge, then about an hour later when I went to check it, it still hadn't turned on. I tried holding the sleep button, holding the sleep and home screen button together for 10-30 seconds several times, and even plugging it into my computer but acted as if there wasn't anything plugged into the computer at all, (it didn't even pick it out I guess is another way of saying it?) I don't understand why it won't turn on, it was working perfectly. Perhaps the fact the it was 3 years old? Is there any hope in my iPod ever turning on again? Any advice or tricks would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    After charging for half an hour, place the iPod in recovery mode and see if iTunes wll see it so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • IPod Touch (1st Gen) not syncing with iTunes 11.0.4

    I own an iPod touch 1st generation and for some reason it won't sync music properly with the latest version of iTunes. This problem has been going on for about 6 months. I have found some way around it but it involves wiping the iPod entirely and then syncing it with my iTunes. This, however, is a very long process and I want to know if there is a solution. I do understand that this is a very old iPod (c. 2005) but I've had it from new and other than this problem it works perfectly fine and has a decent battery life. I don't really care much for apps I just want to be able to listen to my music on the train without having to fork out for a new iPod or iPhone.

    I would try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or

  • Microphone won't work on iPod touch 3rd Gen; not recognized?

    My iPod touch works with the volume control earphones fine. It raises and lowers volume and pauses. When I go into any application that uses the microphone, it says "connect a microphone". I already tried replacing the earphones thinking that was the problem.
    Maybe something needs to be configured?

    OK...
    "If you have tried several different sets of Apple Earphones with Mics, then you might have a problem with your iPod Touch." I'm starting to think that, but I hope not.
    "Has a mic ever worked for you?" This is the first time I try to work with an external mic, so no...
    "Have you tried the "Voice Memo" application and see if that Application works?" Yes I have, and no it doesn't.
    "Is your iPod Touch running version 4.2.1 ?" No. 4.1
    I don't think it still has an Apple warranty on it.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Gen not playing the selected songs - What's the problem?

    Tried to play songs by selecting them but iPod Touch is overriding the selected songs with other songs and displaying those instead. This happens in all my Playlists. Jsut wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this and what is the suggested resolution? Last time I used iTunes, I did switch on the Genius DJ - unsure if this has caused the irregularities now? Help!

    I have just posted a similar problem.(5/11/2011).  Did you get it resolved?
