ITunes converted videos won't sync to device they were converted for

I have two videos I'm trying to put on an iPhone and an iPad. I loaded the Quicktime movies into iTunes and tried a sync (why not right?) and I get the error "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[title of my video]", were not copied to the iPhone "[name of my iphone]" because they cannot be played on this phone." Fair enough. So I used the Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone Version option, yet when I tried to sync the files it created, they still would not sync, same error. I used the iPad/AppleTV option and was able to sync those videos to my iPad, though they would not sync to the iPhone. I tried using a 3rd party conversion software to make mp4 files but they wouldn't sync either (and happened to be about 4x larger in file size to boot).
So why won't iTunes sync the videos it CREATED specifically for iPhone and iPod to my iPhone? I'm on iTunes 10.0. Is there a format/settings I can use on my conversion tool to get a syncable file?
FYI - the original files are 800x600 (video screen captured Keynote presentation) in Quicktime, H264, Millions of colors, AAC, 2 Channel 44100 Hz, 24 fps, data rate 222kbit/s.

Well, after several tries, even though I got the error message, the files did actually transfer to my iPhone. Still seems weird, but at least it worked.

Music video won't sync to device

I downloaded a music video (Born Free by M.I.A.) and moved it to my desktop for some reason and now, it won't sync. It's visible in my iTunes library but I can't drag it anywhere. I probably have to move it back to a certain folder, right? Do you have an idea where that folder is located?

hey there i jus recently discovered, all you have to do is highlight the music u want and drag it to ur iphone or ipad tab, ios 6 is just a beta, and it comes with common little flaws like this, but i just kept trying and i noticed it didnt have a option at the bottom of summary to manually manage music; it was changed to manually manage music videos, then i remember when the ipod frst came out we had to drag and drop files so i tried that and it worked, so lemem kno huw it turns out for u

Itunes music videos won't sync to ipod

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been trying to resolve this problem for a month. My daughter has a 5th generation video ipod. When she updated her ipod all of her music videos were erased from her ipod. They remain and play in itunes, but wont transfer to itunes. There is a message that states some files weren't transferred to ipod because they are not compatible, but they are and they used to be on the ipod. Once again files that used to play now won't transfer and are being labeled as incompatible. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. We are about to go on a trip and having her ipod work, would make it a much more relaxing trip for me... Thanks

After my computer freezes itunes says: Attempting to copy the disk "ipod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It also says: itunes could not copy "name of a song" to the ipod "ipod name" because the file could not be read or written. This is after it synced all but 100 of my 800 songs and all of my apps.

Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

After upgrading to the latest itunes, the text associated with syncing a device is gone. The buttons are there but no text. Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.

Music from Amazon- is in ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod

I purchased music from Amazon. It downloaded to ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod (Nano 4th gen.) Plays with no problem on my Mac Pro but can't get it downloaded to my IPod. How can I resolve?

If you right click on the song it will give you an option such as Create AAC version or Create mp3 version.
To control what option appears Preferences, general.
At the bottom right is a button called import settings. This will start another dailog box where you can choose which encoder to use
Select Mp3 version.
Go back to your song and create an mp3 version and see if that synces

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.
