IPod video not showing sound, only image

I have movie files that are .mpg files. I just got my first iPod a few days ago, and found out that iPods don't play .mpg files. In iTunes, under "Advanced" there is an option to "Convert Selection for iPod" to convert the files into .m4v files. When I do this, however, the videos come through beautifully, but with no sound. Is there anything at all I can do about this? I have all these music videos that I would really like on my iPod. Is there any reliable software out there for iMac users that really converts files from .mpg to .m4v?

Hi,
This causes a lot of confusion! You need to convert it to MP4 (which iTunes doesn't do).
Check out the guide "Converting Video for iPod - Mac & Window" here http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123067
Or alternatively, there's a Complete Guide for Mac here http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/the-complete-guide-to-convert ing-video-to-ipod-format-mac/

Ipod video not showing up in itunes video playlist

simple question, but couldn't find the answer anywhere. there is a video on my ipod that i didn't put there (i'm guessing it came with the ipod) that i would like to delete. HOWEVER it doesn't show up in itunes as being on my ipod. i can't find the video file anywhere. how do i get it off? are there 'hidden' videos? is there something the ipod might get files from that i don't know about?
thanks!

Just wanted to say I solved this problem. In case anyone else comes looking for it, the solution is to rebuild your iTunes library.
The only downside was that this left about 50 TV shows incorrectly classified as movies. But that was easy enough to fix.

Download videos from Iphone to Mac - Iphone not showing up in image capture

Hello I am trying to download the videos I took with my iphone onto my computer, but the iphone is not showing up in image capture or iphoto. Does anyone know how to get the videos off without degrading the video quality.
Thanks

Photos captured by your iPhone shouldn't be a problem.
Photos saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS has caused this problem for some, and I'm not sure why. I haven't experienced the same yet. This may include screenshots.
Email the screenshots only to yourself followed by deleting the screenshots from your iPhone's Camera Roll, and the same for any photos saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received
MMS.
Test if this resolves the problem for importing the photos and video that were captured by your iPhone.

Hey my iPod is not showing up on iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize it. It runs out of battery very fast and only shows the 'Connect to iTunes" screen. What do I do?

My ipod will not turn on, only the apple sign will show up an then it turns back off.

If not succesful try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod will not show up on my iTunes following the newest update, yet says its up to date on software?

Recently my iTunes has updated to the latest version on my PC (a Windows 7), and although ios7 is recommended, my iPod tells me that it is up to date with the 6.1.6 it is currently running. It does not show ios7 to download at all, merely says it is up to date on its software. When I try and plug the iPod in to my PC with a USB cable to sync new music to it, it doesn't even register as being there at all. No device option is in the drop-down file box nor does it show next to the music, video and etc icons. I tried restoring my iPod to the cloud and that worked just fine, tried restarting both devices and replugging in the USB, but nothing seems to be working. No matter what I've tried from the FAQ, my iPod is not showing up or registering to sync. It worked perfectly fine before iTunes updated and any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The 4G can only go to 6.1.6. It hardware does not support a higher version
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

Itunes freezes when connecting and ipod does not show up

When I connect my nano 3rd gen in windows vista using itunes 9 my ipod does not show up and itunes freezes. the ipod remains with the connected screen and I cannot close out of itunes. Any help would be wonderful... Thanks!!

I have (finally)solved the problem with my iTunes freezing! Here's what I did:
1.I backed up my entire music library to an external hard drive.
2.Then I completely uninstalled iTunes 9 from my computer.
3.After a re-boot I then completely deleted my entire music library. (this can be a little scary so I double checked my music library back up on the external drive)
4.I Googled iTunes 8 and found it at
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/
5. I downloaded it but before I installed it I copied my music library back to my computer. I did not copy everything that was in my original iTunes music folder however, I only copied the music,album art work, applications,games,Tv shoes, and podcasts folders. I placed those folders in a new folder called iTunes on my computer. I did not include any of the iTunes database files eg: .itl / .xml / or .itdb files as these were created in iTunes 9.
6. Now I opened iTunes 8.2 and added all of my music and other media content.
7. Next I attached my iPod nano to my computer. Then Windows automaticly open a window asking me if I wanted to scan for problems or continue without scanning. I had windows scan for problems and once that was done my iPod nano began to sync. Oh what joy!
I think, and this is only a guess based on what I've read here on Apple's discussion pages and my own experience, that there is a problem/conflict or bug with iTunes 9, Windows Vista and the 3rd -4th generation iPod. I will NOT be upgrading to iTunes 9 until Apple has addressed this issue. It seems to me that there are a lot of people having similar issues.

While updating Ipod we now have a blank screen and when connecting to itunes the ipod is not showing under devices

My iPod is not showing any of my music in its library.

My iPod is not showing any of my music in its library. I can only listen to and see my music when the iPod is plugged into the computer. Even when its plugged in my Ipod says there is no music in the library but iTunes says its all on there. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

- Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
- Try unsyncing all the music and resyncing.

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

The music pitch is weird now
I can't restore it... i deleted all of my music in the library.
i have no idea how to copy the music into the com.......................... please help.

If your iPod is being recognised by Windows you could try this manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted here: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. Again if Windows is recognising the iPod these may too.
