Ipod Touch - Itunes movie issue.

Hey all I am about to throw my ipod touch through the window.
I just received my touch today, and of course started playing right away. I downloaded the new Ironman movie from the istore, and synced the movie to my touch. But when I go to videos to view the movie I get the following *"This movie could not be played."*
What do you got?

I saw that in the user man on-line but for some reason that option is not available for that movie. I worked for a music video I had but for the movie its grayed out.

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

    when i want to synce my ipod touch itunes remove my apps what should i do?

    Well, there's the problem... iDevices cannot sync with multiple computers.
    The device and iTunes are doing exactly what they are designed to do.
    Did all the apps on the device come from your friends computer?  If so, there is no way to sync with your computer and maintain the apps that do not belong to you.

  • HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues.  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation issue - no longer able to view Device in iTunes?  I can't add, Sync, Back Up or Restore?

    The PC’s I use have Windows 7 installed along with the latest version of iTunes.  I have
    previously deleted all components of iTunes and re-installed.  This made no difference. The PC’s do not recognise my iPod in the Windows Device Manager using ‘devmgmt.msc’.  and still nothing in iTunes.
    Also C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers / - do notlist ‘usbaapl64’.
    The folders listed are ‘usbaapl.cat’, ‘usbaapl.inf’,‘usbaapl.sys’ and ‘usbaaplrc.dll’. 
    Whether this makes a difference I do not know.
    iTunes doesn’t recognise my iPod either however it recognises my attached iPhones OK
    (iTunes/File/Devices) with the options of Sync; Transfer Purchases and Back Up being available. 
    When my iPod is connected, iTunes shows the File ‘Devices’ sections as being inaccessibly greyed out. 
    So to reiterate, I have tried multiple computers and a variety of Windows operating systems (but I’m running Windows 7) with absolutely no success; the ‘Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers/Apple Mobile Device USB Driver’ appears with my iPhone but nothing for my iPod; the Apple Mobile Device Support is installed;  all my USB cables work OK; the device does not appear in Windows or in iTunes; iTunes has been fully uninstalled and reinstalled; the version of iTunes is up to date; the iOS of the iPod Touch shows it is up to date at version 6.1.6 (and cannot be changed) and even a hard reset has been tried.  Everything tried and suggested with complete failure.
    I can use a USB port to charge up my iPod and can still receive e-mails, updates to apps and can play songs but I can’t add any new songs or update iOS.  There are no error codes because as far as the computer and/or iTunes is concerned, there is no connected iPod. My iPod used to work perfectly.   Also I tried the Apple iPod forum without success and was advised to try the iTunes community support.
    Please help!  Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
    I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
    I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

  • After iOS 4 update on iPod Touch, iTunes crashes when iPod is connected.

    I just updated my iPod from 3.1.3 to iOS 4, and after all of that, when I plug in my iPod Touch 2G [version 4.0 (8A293)] to my laptop, iTunes crashes. A window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working," and then iTunes closes automatically. When I do not already have iTunes open and I connect my iPod, iTunes will open and then close a few seconds later with the same pop up box.
    I tried seeing if it was a syncing or connecting issue, so I turned off automatic syncing and the problem still exists. Therefore, I think it is a connection issue.
    *Note: When I was updating to iOS 4, I left and came back to my computer with it running on idle. Could that have had an effect? If so, how can I just redo everything?
    **Another note that may be helpful is that while I do still have all of my music and videos in iTunes (which works totally fine with no iPod attached), the videos and music is NOT on my iPod. But, my apps all work fine on my iPod.
    I would really appreciate any sort of help I could get for this problem. I was really looking forward to the OS update, but now I am disappointed because of this major problem.
    THANK YOU for your help!

    I would try moving the existing iPod backup file to a safe locations and let iTunes make a whole new one.  The location of of the backup file is:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • IPod Touch / iTunes sync error -50 on iMac, due to new upgrade for iPhoto

    I have an iPod Touch, software version 3.0.
    I have an iMac, on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    I am on iTunes version 8.2.1.
    I am on iPhoto 09 version 8.1 (415).
    Ever since Apple released it's latest iPhoto upgrade about 2 weeks ago, I have not been able to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, and instead getting a 'sync error -50'.
    Apple's phone tech support did not know what the problem was and recommended me to Restore my iPod, as well as re-install iTunes. This did not help.
    After much aggravation, I found a discussion group addressing the fact that it might have to do with the latest version of iPhoto. So, in iTunes I unchecked the sync iPhoto option, and now the rest of the sync's worked (iCal, Address book, music, movies, etc).
    Still, I am looking for a solution, as I do not find not syncing my photos a long term solution. Can I do this on my own, or does a solution have to come in the form of a fix from Apple?
    I want my photos back on the iPod, and am very thankful for any tips/help (...hello, anyone from Apple reading this?).

    I don't think any of the work-arounds are really valid or deal with the problem. My Mac Pro desktop computer is 2 years old, so the problem obviously has nothing to do with a computer being new. I also don't see how it can have anything to do with iPhoto. If I get this error and "QUIT" iTunes and reboot iTunes, the iPod syncs perfectly, even though no changes were made.
    I actually bought a new iPod this week because I thought my old iPod was failing (due to these repeated errors). Imagine my horror when the brand new iPod had the same problem.
    Hopefully someone can figure out what going on.

  • 1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

    I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi.  It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out.  I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device.  My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual.  I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer.  I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail.  Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology?  All help is greatly appreciated!

  • Brand New Ipod Touch and already issues

    Alright, before I begin, I'm running 32bit Windows Vista Home Premium on an AMD Dual Core 1.9ghz processor with 2gb ram, as well I've had an iPod Nano before getting this iPod Touch without any problems before hand.
    I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled with a clean download from the apple website of iTunes (To ensure new drivers, etc), I plug in my iPod Touch to let it charge and to connect to start transferring music. I start up iTunes, plug my iPod Touch, first thing I see on the screen of my iPod is an error from what I've researched before writing this post. A USB cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.
    First thing I do, I've already uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, and ensured that iTunes was up to date. Check, check, and check.
    I had also noticed while my iPod was plugged in, was that whenever I would try to connect it to iTunes, I would be presented with was : "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not started."
    Thought to myself, that's odd. I went to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, located "Apple Mobile Device", and next to it was blank. No "Started", no "Stopped", nothing, just blank. I right clicked on the service and went to properties to check and see if it was set to start up, it was set to Automatic. I switch to Manual, tried to start it again but presented with "The Apple Mobile Device service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs", Switched it back to Automatic, same issue.
    Take into consideration, I have my avast! antivirus down. So I have no issues with antivirus/firewall going on right now.
    I have checked my drivers for the iPod under Device Manager, Apple Mobile Device has shown up and has been installed correctly, including "USBAAPL.SYS", was showing no problems installing.
    I sincerely do not know what to do beyond this point. I figure something is wrong with the Service, either that or iTunes is royally screwing something up. The error on the iPod I know means that it needs to restore itself with the help from iTunes, but iTunes is neglecting its presence (To my knowledge)

    not sure, but i think bonjour also has to be running. check it out.
    ah, under the startup type, are u saying that field is blank, rather than "manual", "automatic", "automatic (delayed start)" or "disabled"??

  • IPod touch 8GB screen issue

    I posted this in another forum, but I didn't get any replies. So I'll post it here.
    Hi guys. I've been trying to fix this problem ever since it occurred (a few weeks after I received my iPod... I've had it for around a year and a half now), but something like this has never happened before.
    I just updated my 8GB iPod touch to iOS 4 a few days back (I also updated to iTunes 10). Now, when I'm on my 'Songs' list, and I try to scroll down using the right side's little list thing (A to #), the screen doesn't respond. I'm also having issues with the keyboard--the letter 'P' to the far right of the keyboard won't respond when I casually touch it--I need to put more pressure on it then the other letters. As for the right hand side song list, it only responds to me sometimes, if I'm pressing down really hard. This never happened to me before iOS 4, and it's becoming a huge nuisance.
    The side list works if I press down hard with my thumb/any other finger. But I can't just touch only one letter any more--I have to keep an even pressure on the entire list.
    This is annoying. Is it also an update? Because that doesn't make any sense... the 'P' button on the keyboard still isn't working properly, though.
    I tried a soft reset, then I tried a hard reset and restore. Didn't work.
    I read on some other sites that this can be an effect of updates, but I'm not too sure about it. I even took off my protective cover to see if the screen worked/responded better. It doesn't. Plus I don't think I have a warranty for it, and I bought this iPod from Wal-Mart, not an Apple store.
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
    P.S. If I downgrade my iTunes to 9.2, can I restore my iPod touch's firmware back to 3.1.3? Just wondering. Thanks.

    Thanks, you guys, for replying! I was getting scared.
    Really? You're kidding... I don't want to replace the screen. DD: I mean, it's happened to me before. I hope it'll go away in the next update because I swear, it was working fine before this. I didn't know my iPod had a hardware issue either. {sigh}
    SpyglassSally: "If you've done a restore, and the touch screen is still not responding correctly, I think you need to bring it in to an Apple store or check out Service and Repair Online. The link can tell you your warranty info, regardless of where you purchased it. Your warranty is from Apple.
    Hope that answers your question."
    I don't know if they warranty still applies. I'm pretty sure it's been a year since I first got it. Thanks, though.
    Thanks for giving me this information, though. I appreciate it.

  • IPod touch 4G battery issue with iOs5...battery goes dry in less than a day after upgrading to iOs 5...why is that?

    hi people out there...!
    I have an iPod Touch 4G purchased on november 2010, and since then until two days ago, I had iOs 4.3.x and everything went very good about battery charge...I used to have my iPod on standby mode for several days, and never had a trouble with it...
    but two days ago, I upgraded to iOs 5, and then and there, the troubles began...my battery lasts no more than a day, even on standby mode...
    NO wifi on, NO bluetooth on, no movies watched, no games played, just using Virtuoso Piano free app for minutes...
    is the new iOs 5 having trouble about managing battery?
    anyone of you have same trouble?
    anyone of you know about a solution?
    I was searching on the web about this issue, and several comments I've found out, but I would like to know about it from the Apple themselves...
    thanks for your time people...Light to all of us...!!!

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
    I'm not saying that you don't have a problem.  However, I am saying that we don't know.

  • IPod Touch Music Syncing Issue

    Using iTunes 10.7, I'm trying to add music to my 4G iPod touch running 6.1.2.  The files appear within the iPod sidebar Music tab, greyed out with the sync icon next to them but they never finish copying; they just stay grey and nothing happens.  I am able to select and delete them, and they remain after I unplug and plug back in, but the iPod never shows anything in Music.  When I add files manually, the sync icon replaces the sidebar eject icon, during which time it is able to create playlists in the sidebar, but then the sync ends immediately and the iTunes status bar never displays the copying process, just the Apple logo.  Same thing happens whether I add 1 file or 100 files.  Same thing happens whether I sync music automatically or manually (I have switched between the two methods several times).  I have tried adding new files and different file formats to my iTunes library; those ones don't work either.  I have also tried restoring from the iPod backup, and resetting the iPod entirely, but I still get the same result.  Additionally, I am able to manage Apps as usual.
    Anybody have any ideas?  As a last resort, I may try re-installing iTunes 10.7, but I would prefer to find a fix for this without upgrading iTunes to 11 or 12.

    I had already tried that and I got the same problem.  I did get the issue resolved, although I don't know the reason it was acting up.  What I did was upgrade iTunes to iTunes 11, update the iPod to 6.1.6, then downgrade back to iTunes 10.7
