Ipod video sync 1 movie at a time

hi. i just got my ipod video and was wondering how to just sync 1 video at a time?
for example: i have the movie Black Sheep already on my ipod. I try to sync Tommy Boy a day later onto it, but when i sync Tommy Boy, Black Sheep will delete.
I am wondering if there is a way so that if i delete black sheep from my computer, if i can still keep it on my ipod sumhow while being able to sync other movies onto it without black sheep deleting. thanks for the help.

This can't be done with Front Row right now. Because the 3rd & 4th generation iPod nanos support "video playlists", there's been hope that some day Front Row will also support a video playlist. But, so far we haven't seen that option yet. You can create a video playlist in iTunes and it will play through directly from iTunes, however. You'll have to add your movies to iTunes to use this option...

HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?

After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?

When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it. then reinstall all the apps and music and videos. You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

Ipod video sync

Hello there,
I have a strange problem I cannot solve.
I've looked up in the Forum but I found no answers.
I've an ipod 60gB with the last firmware (1.2), and i have also restaured the ipod (but it didn't solve the following problem).
I converted my dvds of the simpsons into ipod video format.
If I set any of the Simpson show as a "movie" in itunes (7.0.2), it will be synced to my ipod.
If I set the same Simpson show as a "tv show", it will not be synced to my ipod and moreover itunes will considered it as not compatible for ipod playback.
Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
Because, it's really annoying : i have several season of the simpsons and the it's sorted as "tv show" in itunes is really handly.

I'm having the same probem...

"Manually Manage Videos" & "Sync Tones" at the same time?

So, I wan't to sync my ring and text tones manually to my iPad from iTunes as I have some tones that I did not buy from iTunes. I also want to "manually manage videos" synced to my iPad. However, it seems that iTunes will NOT let me choose both at the same time. Am I missing something? Why can't you do both at the same time? Are tones considered video (they have a .m4r extension)?
Thanks in advance.

While I appreciate the link, it doesn't exactly explain why you can't automatically sync Tones while manually managing videos. When you connect an iOS device (that also has iTunes Match enabled) to iTunes 11, the "Manually Manage..." checkbox does not say music as well. It only allows you to "Manually Manage Video", since music is syncing over the cloud via iTunes Match. Thusly, this link does not take into account iTunes Match.
For whatever reason, iTunes must see Tones as part of video, I guess.
But thanks anyways.

Ipod Video Sync Error "Disk not found"

I tried to sync my old ipod video to with my new itunes library so I could put add additional 20G on. But when I went to sync it, I got a red error message reading "The ipod could not be synced because the disk could not be found." Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?

Hey there,
Have you tried putting your iPod into Disk Mode? For more information on how to do this see the link below. Also, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod, unless you don't have your music backed up somewhere. Hope this helps.

IPod Video Sync Problems

I've searched for this for a while but have yet to find a solid answer. I have several videos that were converted over the years into MP4 or H.264, all of which synced to my former iPod 80GB just fine. Now I have a new 160 GB and some of them will and some of them won't (via auto syncing or drag and drop -- if dropping I get no errors, just the "+" sign over Device then nothing on release). I can't tell what the difference is between the ones that work and the others. For example...
Video 1 (WILL go to iPod): 21min23sec, 245mb, MPEG-4, 624x352, data rate 1469, total bit 1597, 29 frames/sec, audio 128k @ 48kHz
Video 2 (will NOT go to iPod): 42min40sec, 414mb, H.264, 624x352, rate 1203, total 1355, 29 frames/sec, audio 152k @ 44kHz
Video 3 (will NOT go to iPod): 27min37sec, 270mb, MPEG-4, 624x352, rate 1214, total 1366, 29 frames/sec, audio 152k @ 84kHz
The only difference I can see is the audio KBPS but I can't see that making enough difference to cause compatability issues. I know I can just use iTunes to convert for iPod but I want to keep these files high enough quality to be watchable on full screen without needing to have a HQ version and an iPod version of 2000+ videos.
Any insights on this? Thanks in advance.

Many of my encoded videos are at 127kbps. I actually got this issue resolved by re-encoding everything that wouldn't sync, but the funny thing is I didn't change any of the settings. Just re-encoded everything as is and suddenly they all synced. I don't get it...
On an unrelated topic, maybe someone can answer this question here so I don't have to start a new post:
When I am trying to auto-sync my iPod I am having trouble syncing selected shows. I set to "Automatically include ALL episodes of SELECTED SHOWS" then go through a show and select certain episodes. But they don't stay unchecked if I Apply settings or go to a different show (ie, if I only check Seasons 1 and 4 of Futurama then Apply changes OR move on to the show Simpsons, all Seasons 1-4 recheck themselves). Any ideas? Thanks

Why does my iPOd over sync and 'lose' music every time

Every time i plug my Ipod (5th gen 80GB)into my pc to automatically sync.
The ipos 'loses' 1/3 of all the music and continues to sync it all back on again (even though there has been no change in any of the music). this happen every time!!!!! and 3000 odd tunes take a while.
Had 1/4 of the art work display is incorrect.

Try here:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Go to Settings>General>Time&Date and make sure it is set to automatic
Try change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

All songs missing from my iPod Video after playing movies

hi there,
can some one help me, why everytime after playing my movies, all the songs that i have downloaded into the iPod is missing!
Where am I did wrong?
Thanks in Advance!

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have everything backed up. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and you can begin updating your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

Ipod video crashes when I attempt to eject after sync (Windows XP)

My ipod video synced perfectly in itunes for first two months. About two weeks ago, however, the ipod started crashing four out of five times when I try to eject it in itunes or stop the disk from Windows' "remove hardware safely" dialog box. It also crashes after syncing automatically when I disable disk use. It syncs all files fine, but when I attempt to eject, it goes directly from "Do not disconnect" to the apple logo, with the backlight flashing on and off periodically. At that point it will not reset, and I have to go into disk mode and restore it to get the ipod to show a menu again. I've restored it now about 10 times, and have reinstalled itunes but am still experiencing the same problem.
Please help!

If you're running iTunes 6.0.5, I would need the crash log to figure out why you're crashing.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. Send it to me. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread because I get a lot of these messages and are easily confused.

IPad Video app mixes Movies and Home Video Kinds

In iTunes I have videos that are of 'Video Kind' Movie and also 'Video Kind' Home Video. These show up nicely on the AppleTV, segregated according to their "Kind". On my iPad Air, however, the Video app mixes them all together under its heading of "Movies" when I use Home Sharing to access my iTunes Library from the iPad.
How can I get my Home Videos to be distinguished from my Movies on the iPad?
(And, is there any way to have the title show up on the thumbnail page? In combination I have thousands of shows and it's hard to tell what's what!)

Hello Brian,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue playing iTunes Store content on your iPad Air, and you’ve already tried restarting the device and syncing the movies a second time. If you haven’t already, try backing up and restoring the device as shown in the article linked below.

IPOD starts syncing then gets a variety of errors

when i plug my ipod in and try and sync it starts then stops with a variety of error messages ive had everything from 'the disk cannot be read' to 'an unknow error has occurred' etc. this has only been happening since i uploaded some files to transfer onto a friends laptop. there was problems reading the pod on the laptop. anyone help, please. im throughly sickened!

I just bought my 30gb Ipod video last week. The first time I sync-ed with my Macbook, a variety of error messages were displayed after several attempts at restoring.
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1418)."
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1417)."
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1453)."
I did the 5Rs and it worked fine. After a day, I was able to rip more audio CDs into my Macbook. When I sync-ed again, the following error message was displayed:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
iTunes also syncs all songs everytime I sync. I tried the 5Rs again and removed the Photo cache, to no avail.
I have checked with out local reseller about replacement and it will take 21 working days. It's a bit too long for me. Is there any way for my iPod video to work properly?
Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Ipod touch sync is soooo annoying

First off, please comment if you share this annoying issue. I'm sure I'm not the only one >|
To begin, I purchased an iPod Touch 4G (the one, with the Camera and Facetime) around August 2010. It was cool. Like, really cool.
Then, about two months ago, iTunes just stopped syncing with my iPod. A few weeks before it stopped I got the "Unable to load data from Sync Services" message every time I plugged my iPod in. I was like "Meh." and guessed it would fix it self eventually.
Bam.
My iPod stopped showing up in iTunes. (This was back like when 10.0 just came out). I searched these forums like "lolwut? it always workedddd!". I tried fixing it, but hey, I had the newest iTouch firmware. the newest iTunes version, so I called up Apple Support.
THEY tell me to do everything I've already tried: Reinstalling all Apple components (In the order the support site said to), restarting, restarting with edited Startup entries via MSCONFIG, and pretty much everything else I've tried. This includes trying other ports on my computer, using other cables, and dual booting and using another Operating System on another partition.
Nope, nothing works.
So I totally give up.
And Bam, new iTunes update 10.1 comes out and I'm like "Whatevs" since it didn't work anyway. I had been updating my iTouch firmware, but I pretty much stopped caring about iTunes.
And at like 3am I wake up and see that my iPod is syncing. I'm like "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa sweeeeeeeeetttttttttt" and go back to sleep. Next day I see that the iPod started syncing, and working perfectly this time. Syncs awesomely but it gave me "Unable to load data from Sync Services" again. Now I'm like ew, not again but my iPod is still working so I ignore it again.
And then AGAIN like 2 wks later, it stops. Same process. Works again when new iTunes update comes out. Works again when I update my iPod firmware. Updating seems like the only way to get this annoying sync to work, but I cannot just be able to sync for a few days after every time-to-time update. Not gonna happen.
Am I missing something? Is updating iTunes patching some wound in my system? Why does it stop working, if it was fine a day before?
No, I have no viruses on my computer or anything that could be screwing me right now. How do I fix this?
Cuz I seriously am considering switching to a lame normal drag-and-drop MP3 player that doesn't have a laggy, non-syncing required host program.

Try rebooting the computer, another USB port and another cable.

Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

Okay, here is the problem:
I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
Help!

I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
Help!!
Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)
