  • Import of video not from itunes

    I would like to know if and how I could save and see on my ipod any video that I can get not from itunes but from other sites or for instance from a cdrom.
    I thank anyone who can give me some informations about my question.

    The iPod will only accept videos in MP4 format, if your videos are anything else then you would need to find software to convert them.
    There's information on videos here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt12.html

  • Videos (Not From iTunes Store)

    I'm still new to iPod. I'd like to point that out right away...
    Well, I tried to put some videos that I had saved on my computer into iTunes, but it didn't work. I pretty much only got my iPod to watch videos, but since they aren't working, it feels like a waste to me.
    If anyone could give me some help on how to get my vids into iTunes, that would be great.
    If you need any other information about my iPod/computer, just ask.

    hello, ipod only accept mp4 or h264 format videos, you will need to have a 3rd party converter tool to help you to convert your own movie then you can put in itunes, see this detailed comparison chart and reviews of the top 5 selling ipod video converters

  • Downloading videos not from itunes

  • Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then  to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

    Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

    If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
    If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
    It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format.  For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen.  If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
    That version should play on an iPod nano.  NOTE:  Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

  • Music not from iTunes

    hi i was just wondering if i can put music onto my ipod nano that is not from iTunes. i am having great difficulty

    u gotta play around more with iTunes functions if you're not familiar. In fact, I am a newbie myself, just got my Nano last week. U'd probably need to create a new playlist in your Nano, and just drag&drog any files from iTune library to your new playlist. On the other hand, I suggest you read up the iTune manuals, would be easier for you to get around iTune. Hope this helps

  • Burning video downloaded from ITunes

    is there a way to change the format of downloaded 'Shows' (not music) from ITunes (ex: 'The Office') to be able to save them in, and burn them w/ IDVD instead of ITunes? I want to be able to play the video downloaded from 'ITunes' in a regular DVD player. As it stands now, you can only playback these episodes on your Mac or an IPod... Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    I don't believe there is a way of changing the Format. But there is an accessory
    that you can get in the Apple Store(you can access that from the home page)
    that will allow you to connect your iPod directly to your TV and play everything from it on your TV. RCA patch cords for sound and S-Video that will adapt from
    your iPod to the TV.

  • My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

    My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
    Firefox Menu > Customize
    On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • 7.01 & videos downloaded from iTunes

    I had to go back down from 7.04 to 7.01 in order to import footage to FCE. So, does that mean I can't watch videos purchased from iTunes? I tried watching videos - I can see the video but can't hear the sound. Is this a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't?

    this is creepy - I have 7.04 on the G5, which is running 10.3.9 and I can hear the audio when I play video downloaded from iTunes but can't see anything. when I boot to the external hard drive, which is running 10.4.5, I don't get anything at all.

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    That's an interesting variation. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
    Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    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 Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.
