IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!
    Deb.

  • Can't upload .mov files to iTunes anymore

    Hi!  I don't know if this just started when I upgraded to Lion and did all of the recent updates to iTunes, and added iCloud, etc, but suddenly I can't drag .mov files into iTunes like I used to be able to do. I can't add them with the Add To Library menu either. Because of this I can't put them on my iPad. Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix?  TIA!

    Actually, I can't open anything in quicktime anymore. I've tried opening avis, mov, mp4 and m4a files... all give the same error message and number. I've reinstalled both qt and itunes but no luck.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.

  • 2G iPod Touch won't synch or charge with computer.

    I have a 2nd gen. iPod Touch and when i plug it into my computer it won't recognize it, charge it, or synch it. The only thing that happens when you plug it in is the computer makes 3 fast, same pitched tones. It's kind of like when you would normally plug it in and it makes those two tones. Anyway, so I thought maybe it was the cord so I got another chord and it didn't make a difference. I reinstalled iTunes and it made no difference. I restarted, and then restored my iPod and tried it again and it didn't work. I made sure it was fully charged too, to no avail. Finally I plugged in my iPod Video and it was recognized by the computer immediately so I know that it's a problem with the iPod touch. But the iPod Touch still works with my iHome. I have no idea what it could be. Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Actually you are in a better position than some are with this problem. I would back up my iTunes library and then remove it completely from my computer. Use the info in this article to remove iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Then download the latest copy of iTunes and install that. That generally will fix it.

  • IPhone/iPod Touch can't play movies placed into wiki

    I have been testing the wiki services on our new Leopard Servers and have come up against a really annoying problem I cannot view movies placed into wiki pages using our iPhones and iPod Touch systems. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I have posted the same issue. They did work prior to the 2.0 upgrade.
    We are getting some javascript errors that I think are pointing towards the problem.

  • Can't arrange movie files in itunes?

    In itunes, whenever i click on the "movie" file under my iPod Touch's name, the list of all the movies i have in my ipod show up. However, whenever i want to move the files around/organize them, it won't let me move them. It's like the movie files are locked or something?
    However, i can move my music files around fine. It's just the movie files that won't move/arrange /:
    & if this matters, the movie files play fine in my ipod.
    I just need to move/arrange/organize them on itunes... but it won't let me -.-

    Very strange. I use Handbrake exclusively for movie conversion and all tags are editable. I even use iDentify which is a super little app which populates ratings, directors, stars and producers etc in the movie information, together with artwork if required.
    I double checked last night and every single one of the 462 movies converted with Handbrake are editable manually or with iDentify.

  • IPod touch 4g won't stop syncing with iTunes

    I had a nearly 2 year old ipod touch 4g that when updated to ios 5, it froze...just days before the orginal warranty was about to expire.   apple store gave me a new ipod touch and they put ios 5 on it at the store.  when i got home and synced it to my itunes, everything copied fine...and the strange thing is...no matter how long i leave the ipod connected to my macbook pro (running lion), itunes always stays stuck on "copying step 6 of 6".  it NEVER stops copying.  here's the wierd thing, i can manually unplug the ipod touch and it seems fine....all the stuff is there.  but itunes never recognizes that it's done.  i've restored the ipod AGAIN...and it still gets stuck on 'step 6 of 6'.  i've left it synching overnight...and still, in the morning..'step 6 of 6'.  bizarre.  any one have ANY ideas on what's going on?  I also have a iphone 4 running ios 5 and do NOT have this same problem. 

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Ipod Touch 4g will no longer sync with iTunes - help!!!

    I have an iPod Touch 4 and am using the latest version of iTunes 11.0.2.26 but can no longer get my ipod to sync with itunes.  When I click on Sync I get the message 'waiting for changes to be applied' then 'finished' but it does not sync.  I have completely restored my ipod and have uninstalled iTunes, Apple Update, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support before reinstalling iTunes.  All my music in iTunes is from my own library rather than purchased from iTunes.  It all used to work fine and I feel I've exhausted all my knowledge in fixing this and need some assistance.  Can anyone help?

    Seems like you've tried the most important steps in troubleshooting, so that's good.
    What I'm wondering is: when you deinstalled iTunes and all those other things, did you do it in a specific order, according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for windows Vista/windows 7 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925  for windows XP  ? I don't see Apple Application Support in the list of components you deleted. I would recommend removing everything again in the specific order using the article you need and trying again to sync.
    Also: try creating another user account on your computer and syncing again, because sometimes software issues are user-wide.
    hope this helps, keep me posted

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • IPod Touch will not Sync or restore with iTunes.

    I got an iPod Touch 64G on 31/12/09. Since then I've had a very difficult time syncing the iPod with iTunes. I installed iTunes on a Dell Studio 1557 i7 720, 1.60Ghz, 4G DDR3 1067 RAM, 500G HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I try to sync the ipod it gives me 3 errors The iPod "Tom's iPod Touch" cannot be synced.(X3) The required file cannot be found, An unkown error occurred (-48), and An unknown error occurred (-6999). I have made sure all my drivers on the computer are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've tired restarting the ipod. I've fully restored my ipod touch. None of these have fixed the issue. I get the same errors. Since I've had the ipod I've only been able to sync it 3 times, and the sync just started working by trying different things, like disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod, or switching to one of the other usb ports, but these little tricks only worked once. At this point the last failed sync has caused my ipod to only play one song and then stop playing, and many of the apps just crash. Syncing the ipod fixed this problem the one time it happend before, and it was very difficult to get it to sync also. Now it wont sync and I've tried reinstalling itunes agian which didn't help. So I'm looking for some help.

    Okay ... there have been problems reported with that particular combination of the P55/PM55 chipsets, Windows 7 and syncing.
    If your chipset drivers and BIOS are both up to date and you're still getting this, you might have some success using the workaround from the following post. (Unfortunately, not all BIOSes are configurable in this way.)

  • IPod touch won't mount or sync with iTunes?

    ok here's my problem, 2 days ago i bought an 8gb iPod touch.
    The first time i plugged it into my computer it mounted to iTunes and synced with iTunes seamlessly and quick.
    Now when i plug it in, it will not even show up in iTunes.
    So far i've tried
    -restarting my iPod Touch
    -deleting itunes then re-installing iTunes
    -restoring factory setting on iPod touch
    -turning the ipod off, then once i open itunes, turning it on
    nothing happens, itunes works fine, but my iPod just will not sync or mount to iTunes 8
    please! someone help me!

    ok i figured it out.. not what was wrong but what to do.. you have to restore your system without having the iPod connect of course.. then uninstall itunes and quicktime then delete every trace of them from your computer. (once you reinstall iTunes you will get back everything you had) then once you restart your computer reinstall itunes and restart your computer again. now plug ur iPod Touch in the computer and it will work then.
    same thing happened to mine.. it took a while to figure it out but i got it...
    you have to uninstall them then delete it from program files... now it works perfectly
