Ipod wont sync videos

my 30 gig video wont sync any of my videos.
when i try to apply the changes, itunes says that my ipod is done syncing, so i unplug it and check to see if my videos are there, and they never are...
any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. But mine is more specific. All my videos are syncing except for a certain group. I recently purchased Lost: Season 3 on iTunes. Every time a new episode is released, I download it into my library. Itunes shows that I have all of the episodes currently released. However, when I sync my iPod, only the most recent episode shows up on the iPod. Why can't I sync all of the episodes in my library to my iPod?

Upgraded iPod, wont sync TV shows

Hi all
Just upgraded to the 120gb, everything seemed to copy over fine except for the 3 TV shows that I purchased, does anyone have any ideas ?
Cheers in advance.

Hey there,
Have you made sure you have set your iPod to sync TV Shows? To be sure, plug your iPod in and head over to the TV Shows tab once it appears and you have clicked on its device name in iTunes. Make sure there is a check mark next to Sync and then whatever settings you want for syncing tv shows to your iPod.

Otherwise, if you have already completed these steps, the videos may not be compatible with your iPod. You will have to use a third party app such as [Videora|http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod> or [Handbrake|http://handbrake.fr>, to convert the videos to an iPod format, import the video into iTunes, and sync it to your iPod. I have used both of these apps with great success. Hope this helps.

Wont sync videos to ipod.

Now i hope the answer to this is obvious and makes me look dumb,keep in mind ive never had an ipod that could play videos before, just the 1st gen nano, now i have an 80g classic. When trying to sync videos to my iPod it just says syncing, then syncing complete, but it shows no movies under the file or on my iPod. Ive tried auto syncing them and dragging them, it doesn't give me and error message, just says it completes and does nothing,
Thanks

It is currently two Simpsons episodes i forget where i got, i believe they were downloaded, I know it should be TV shows but it shows them under movies. They work fine when i watch them on Quicktime, Windows media player, or when i watch them on itunes.

Ipod touch 2g wont sync videos please help!!!

Did you read these:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
You need the SD version since now many are offered in both SD (standard definition) and HD (standard definition). Usually if you purchase the HD version you can download the SD version for no additional cost

PLEASE help!!!!!!!!!!
if there is anything else you need to know to help me, please tell!

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

Ipod Wont Sync My Music in itunes

Ok big problem. I have all my music saved onto a 120Gig Western digital Portable Hard drive. i have an 80gig ipod. ive had it for about 5-6 months. i am now having a problem where it wont sync. what happends is that all of my music is in the itunes library. when i try to sync my ipod, none of the music syncs and all of the locations of the original file become lost. when i go into my hard drive and look, all of the files are missing. but when i either unplug the hard drive or restart my comp all of my music is there again. if i try again it does the same thing over and over. any suggestions? t would be appreciated. thanks.

In answer to your last question, no - your iPod is not a goner, but you need to work out what has happened first so that it doesn't happen again. I'm guessing that if you look at "Other" on your iPod you may find it's quite large.
Look on your iPod, go to the Settings menu and choose the About option; on that first display the graphic should show lots of blue (audio), some darker blue (video), some yellow/orange (photos if you have any) and a small amount of orange/red (other). That's the sequence, don't worry if the colours are slightly off or not there. If the last one - other is larger than the audio then that's where your storage has gone!
I still think that your PC has allocated a different letter to the external hard drive compared to when you previously added the music. Then, when the iPod cannot find the music on your PC when synced, it moves the songs to "other". Have you checked to make sure there are no "rogue" drive letters still allocated and have you ruled out the possibility of connecting the hard drive in another sequence when connecting up other USB devices? (As I mentioned in my last post.) Once you have done that, then look in iTunes.
If I understand you correctly, only some of the songs (in iTunes) have an exclamation mark against them, while some do not, is that correct? If so, it means that iTunes cannot find the location of ones with exclamation marks. So look at some of the songs that do not have an exclamation mark and try the *Get info/Where* to find out where iTunes thinks they are. Then check to see if the same drive letter is allocated to the hard drive when you connect it. They should be the same letter, are they?
If not, that's been the problem. If they are the same, try "asking" iTunes to see if it can now find the location of one of the missing tracks. (It's possible of course, that some newer added songs were added after the drive letter changed and this will be a problem, but let's hope not!)
So, what's the situation now? If you think the problem is a changed drive letter, make sure that the correct drive letter is now allocated and then ask iTunes to find the missing songs. (Unfortunately, this might be on a song-by-song basis!)
Once you find the missing songs, (or if you don't you will just have to import them again into iTunes.) and your iTunes is now complete again, it's time to sort out the iPod.
Connect up the iPod and on the iTunes Summary screen, use the Restore function. This will restore your iPod to its factory settings and remove everything from it, thus freeing up the missing storage space. then a fresh Sync will add everything back onto the iPod again. As you can appreciate, all this will take a bit of time, which is why you need to understand what happened so you don't have to go through this again.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck,

Ipod wont sync

so recently i got my computer reformatted i have 2 hard drives in it one with all my stuff on it and the other is new so i tried to sync my ipod after i reformatted and now it wont sync the songs and video comes up with 2 error messages itunes could not copy(song name) to the ipod (ipod name) because file could not be read or written and the other one say attempting to copy to the Disk (Ipod name) the disk could be read from or written this is new cause before i got it reformatted it would load them up even with the 2 hard drives any one know the problem cause it even affects the songs when i play them on itunes it pauses for a bit the plays it again

Well... this is where it gets weird. She's had an eMachines computer for a few years... gives her trouble with the DVD and CD drives. Still works ok, otherwise. Then I got her the iPod and it works ok for a month or so, until the computer crashes every time she connects the iPod to any of the USB ports. Everything else still works fine in the USB ports but the iPod. Every so often between crashes she can get the iPod to update. Then the computer stops working together.
So she junked the computer and bought a brand new HP (tried to get her to buy a Mac, but she doesn't listen to me.) and the whole computer works fine. She plugs in the iPod and nothing happens. No error messages. Nothing. It's like nothing is plugged in. Won't even charge the battery if it's connected to the computer. I think it's possible that the iPod itself might actually display the "Do not disconnect." but otherwise... there's nothing.
Explain to me the reset and restore... she's done something, but I think it's just the regular reset (laying the iPod flat and pushing different parts of the click wheel.)
(And I don't know her update settings off hand... it should be auto update... but I'm just guessing.)

IPod wont put videos on, :(!!

Hi.
I use the "imTOO Ipod Converter" to convert my movies to .mp4.
For the past few months it all worked fine and all of my videos went on it with no problems. But now videos wont go on it. I goto prefrences and then ipod and click video, and its all dimmed and wont let me select anything!
Please help... thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer and wait for it to appear in the iTunes source list. Then, click Edit > Preferences. Click the iPod tab. Click the music tab. Ensure that it is set to "automatically update all songs and playlists." Then, click over to the video tab. Now you should be able to change the video update preferences.
Basically, video sync has to be done automatically, whether it be all videos or just specific video playlists. Apparently, if you update your iPod's music manually, you cannot put videos on it with iTunes. I'm not sure why this is so, but for now, it is.
Hope this helps!'

HELP! iPod wont sync!! (diff problem 2 others..)

hi, i have an 80g ipod video (2006).
i just purchased a tone of new songs and the piece of crap wont sync them. unlike the other similar threads i don't get any messages or error messages etc. for me, it syncs as normal but does not put the new songs onto the ipod! i also deleted a play list and it doesn't seem to be updating that either!!
someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE help me!!! i really need to fix this as i am going away next week and would like to listen to NEW songs on my trip!!! lol

Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

My ipod wont copy videos and...

ok i have 2 questions:
1.my itunes wont transfer videos to my ipod. says attemping to copy to ----- ipod failed. the disk could not be copied or written to. i think it´s because my usb port it´s not high speed. should i get one? where i can find one? any options besides that?
2. when i got my ipod, i turned it on without connecting to a pc. i had to go, so i just put it on hold mode. when i came back, i slipped the hold button and my ipod had half battery. i plugged to a pc until it said charged, but i´m afraid that my battery don´t work well. when i´m watching videos, the battery don´t lasts even an hour and half. what should i do?

i'll have a go at 1:
1.my itunes wont transfer videos to my ipod. says attemping to copy to ----- ipod failed. the disk could not be copied or written to.
this is probably the best place to start:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
