Ipod uploading home movies???? or shows from net.....

Hey guys real n00b here. I'm familair with electronics just this ipod I am not yet. I am wanting to get the 30g color screen for x mas. B4 i have soeone drop that coin the main reason i want that is so i can upload my movies or my collection of downloaded shows like family guy and stuff. It is capable of doing that right? I mean you can download shows from the store so why not upload from your own comp. Are there restrictions to movie playing? Is there a process to convert your stuff to work on this ipod. If this isn't supposed to be discussed or already has just shoot me a link theres so much on here already I tried searching so thanx for your help. Also any experance with these devices after the very very limited one yr runs out on them compared to a lets say Creative mp3 player with a lifetime?

  • ITunes 6/iPod: Upload home movies?

    Any indication whether it is possible to upload home movies or personal footage?
    Thanks.

    heh!
    The thing is that when Apple unveiled the iPod Photo, it seemed obvious to me that a video version would come very soon after that. We were on vacation and got a very good deal on the 40 Gb Photo, so we got it.
    But yeah, it's kind of frustating to get any kind of digital device these days, a few months go by and it's already "obsolete" (note how freely I use the term "obsolete")

  • I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

    I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
    It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
    I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
    The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
    Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

    When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
    Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

  • Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • How do i upload a movie file mp4 from my computer to my ipad

    I have movie files from a dvd which i converted to MP4, i have been trying to upload the movie file from my PC to my Ipad. I tried doing this in video and photo, but nothing happens. I am currently running the latest Itunes and OS, please help

    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Hello,
    I would like to move my huge iTunes library music from external HD 1 to a bigger external HD 2. I would like to make HD 2 as my only reference and after delete any iTunes files on the HD 1. Already chosen the new media location and checked "keep media folder organized". 
    Then should I Consolidate files or Reorganize under Organize library?
    Should I use export library?
    Can you please give a clue what steps should I take?
    These are questions you should ask before you do anything.

  • Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

    I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names.  When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created.  How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

    OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
    I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

  • Downloading movies & tv shows from iTunes shops other than the US

    I download from the Danish & Canadian iTunes stores. I was just wandering if any time soon we who download from the other iTunes stores will get the opportunity to download movies & tv shows.
    I am feeling really left out!!!!!! : (

    The usual answer is that the copyright holders are holding the cards. It is their decision as to what can be sold in which iTS. I am sure that Apple would love to have just one store for everyone.
    No one knows when video and TV Shows will be available in iTS other than the US.

  • Movies & TV shows from iTunes Store won't sync to TV

    I have a late 2009 TV 160GB and I have recently noticed that all of my movies and TV shows that I have bought from the iTunes store are not on the TV anymore. My computer s authorised and I am logged into my iTunes account on the TV. I have tried erasing it and restoring it's factory settings but nothing will work. I have made sure that all the checkboxes on the movies and shows are checks and have re-synced the TV and they are still not appearing. Please help, this is getting really frustrating.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Could you possibly be viewing the titles in an 'unwatched' view.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen sound really low when playing movies/tv shows from video app

    I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation for my daughter so she can watch her movies and tv shows that i purchased on itunes. On my iPhone 5S, I have no problems with the sound... Loud and clear. However with my new ipod touch, those same movies/tv shoes have really low volume. The sound while using Apps, Games and playing music are all fine. While playing from the video app, headphones are ok too... My problem is the sound from the speaker. I don't understand why all the other functions on the ipod that use sound is OK.
    I have already reset my ipod and reset all the settings too... still didnt work. Please help! Thanks

    The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
