Itunes ipod movie sync problem

I have a bunch of videos on my ipod but just recently all the movies sort themselves in music instead of movies(on my ipod). when i sync a new movie it sorts itself under movies.
my question is: how do i get all my movies to show up under movies.;
and yes i tried changing the media kind to movie. but that dosnt fix the problem.any help is awesome!

Hi dg,
I had something similar happen to me, this is just a shot in the dark. I had set my iTunes to play on a remote speaker that was connected via an Airport Express. Any time a video came up, only the audio part played, because a video can only play on the local machine. I think it's the latest "remote audio" solution.
I had to tell iTunes to play from the local machine, then it was fine.

IPod Classic Sync Problem - iTunes 11

I was having issues with syncing my iPod today. Multiple problems led to me having to uninstall iTunes on my PC and I also had to restore the iPod a couple of times. Once all was said and done, I could not sync my music to the iPod. It usually automatically synced when plugged in, but since the restore and reinstall, nothing happened. Even clicking sync with my iPod pllugged in didn't work.
SOLUTION (with the help of Apple tech support):
1) Connect iPod to computer (make sure iTunes is running).
2) Click on iPod name (mine is called Owner's iPod).
3) At the top of the screen, next to "Summary", click on "Music".
4) To the left of "Sync Music" there is a little box. There should be a check in it. If not, put a check there.
5) The number of songs ready to be synced should appear.
6) In the lower right hand corner, click on "Apply".
I saw in another forum information that I needed to find the box to select to sync songs, but the information was a few years old and I couldn't find it according to the directions. This should work for those with ver. 11.
If anyone else has sync problems and you HAVE A SOLUTION please share it here. Thanks!

Hi black3793,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both frustrating and concerning when iTunes becomes unresponsive when you connect your iPod. In your situation I would start by isolating iTunes by uninstalling it and all of its components in the correct order and installing fresh. Please follow the steps in the attached article for removing iTunes and its components.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Have a great day,
Joe

OSX iTunes to touch sync problem...ARGH

I have had my iPod touch for a few weeks now, but the other day it stopped syncing - partly.
Let me explain: I can sync Music, Movies, Podcasts and Photos, it is only if I tick anything on the "Info" tab in Itunes that I get an error message. Means: If I want to sync address book, iCal, Mail accounts or bookmarks, iTunes starts syncing the music etc, but then spits out an errormessage when it gets to the latter:
"iTunes could not sync mail accountsto the iPod because the sync serverfailed to sync the iPod"
I then started up up the console to have a look what it wanted to tell me, here is what I got:
Waiter has started running...

I found the above syncservices folder, and dragged it to the desktop to see what would happen.
iTunes could still sync music, but for other data it would tell me this:

So I quickly moved the folder back, and the same (original) errormessage returned.
I am at loss what to do - reinstall iTunes? ARGH!

Strange iPod Behavior.

Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

Itunes 10.2.2.12 - All Itunes 10 Version Sync problems

I am using Windows XP PC latest service pack, I have a newer 5th Gen 16GB Ipod Nano, I now have the latest Itunes 10.2.2.12. Every since I have had this newer Ipod Nano,and with first version of Itunes 10, nothing but syncing problems. After calling Apple Ipod Tech Support, and scouring Apple Help screens and forums, just like Apple Tech Support reps, the recommendation is mostly the same, they have me go through the grueling, time consuming process of Uninstalling and Re-installing Itunes, which I have done many times, sometimes it would help in syncing, many times not.Also tried other Apple support recommendation tricks with Apple Mobile Device too, and even upgraded to a Higher speed USB Port,again it would sync for a while and then eventually would start having same sync problems again, even after updating to the latest Itunes. Errors: Itunes is Unable to locate Ipod attached, or The required folder cannot be found.
When exactly will Apple tech Support put out a New Fully Stable Itunes Version to correct and remove these problems that occur over and over again, with so many Ipod users online?? I am getting so frustrated, that I am looking for Itunes and even Ipod better alternatives to avoid these big time consuming headaches. Anybody have a Full solution, or at least somewhat permanent Solution to these Ipod sync Errors?? Thanks for your time.

well i'm running iTunes same vsn on a brand new iMac i7 2.93GHz and i'm constantly having to wait while the old beach ball of death appears. it usually only halts normal operation for 15 to 40secs but thats ridiculous enough. i've got 16Gb of DRAM and even with no other apps running this happens - and it happens about every 3 mins or so. crazy.
9037 songs in the library.
i guess this is better than iPhoto 9 which crashed and refuses to boot full stop, in spite of several re-instals.
and i thought the new world of apple was gonna be rosy. hmmmm.

Ipod touch syncing problems

Hello to potential helpful people,
I have the latest Ipod touch 64GB which up until a couple of months ago was giving me no problems, but for some reason, It randomly (from no request of mine) deleted the majority of songs off my ipod, so that whenever I played my music on shuffle it wouldn't play most songs! I couldn't find anything to solve this problem on the support site, so I restored my ipod and started again from scratch.
The sync has now completed, HOWEVER, it has only copied a third of my music onto my ipod and wont sync anymore. According to Itunes, the "Other" storage capacity section is taking up 31.23 GB on my ipod which is just not right. I don't use contacts, messages, emails or anything that falls into the "other" category on my ipod, so I don't know what it means!
I have checked on my ipod and I cant find anything anywhere which says something is taking up a lot of storage but because of this itunes will not sync anything else to my ipod.
I have 4130 songs, which says will take up about 21.76 GB, 1 video which will take up approx 8GB, over 4000 photos taking up 2.90 GB and finally 45 apps taking up 6.32 GB. This is all I have on there, nothing else should be taking up any space!!! And all of this does not come to 64GB. So it should sync all my music!!!
On my ipod, in the "About" section is says my ipod has 11 songs on it and no videos, however all my photos and all my apps are corrently counted. BUT when I click on "songs" and then "shuffle" in my music section, when it plays the first song it says 1 of 1652. It makes no sense!!! Nothing is relating to anything and I'm really at the end of my patience.
This is incredibly frustrating, Please someone help me!
Thank you in advance.

New Ipod Classic syncing problems, restoring problems

Hello,
Just got my 80gb Ipod Classic yesterday, and have had syncing problems, and now Itunes does not recognize it at all.
I'm using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9)
Ipod Firmware 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest is)
Windows XP Pro
I'm a long-time user of a 5g 30gb Ipod and never have had issues like this. I am syncing to the same Itunes library as my old Ipod. Connecting my new Ipod Classic, I updated the firmware, and tried to sync. Halfway through the sync, I got an error. I disconnected the ipod and reset it. I tried syncing again, and again it would hang at some point, had to disconnect, and then it said my ipod had no music, but with 60gb free only. So obviously a database problem on the ipod and some mp3 files that my new ipod classic didn't like (though my old 5g ipod has no problem with this library).
Next, I connected and did a Restore.
I removed the culprit mp3 files from Itunes Library, attempted to sync again. Again, it would freeze at some point during sync. Had to disconnect Ipod while Itunes was frozen. Again, Ipod says has no music but with only about 60gb free.
So Ipod is corrupted again. The problem is when I connect it to my PC, Itunes no longer recognizes it, so I can't do a Restore. What do I do?

Just wanted to post my results, for future users benefit:
Putting my Ipod into Disk Mode, connected to computer, Itunes recognized it, performed a Restore.
Still had syncing/freezing issues.
Decided that my Itunes library database was corrupted. Went into My Documents > My Music, and deleted the Itunes Folder, except for the containing Artwork Folder.
Have been rebuilding my Library from scratch since, and have had no syncing problems yet again.
Only problem is that in the outermost Podcast menu, it is always empty. The only conveninent way to access my Podcasts is to make a playlist and put them all in it.

Itunes / ipod/ movies

I just got a ipod, (yes, i updated my software 3.5 weeks ago) , so my ipod set up went ok. Then I made a photo imovie then did share to ipod , it did the compressing opened itunes, then nothing.
I after many hrs called apple , well a first for me, no luck and they didnt know why. But I decided to see if even the movie sync even works in itunes. So I broke down and bought a movie from itunes, it down loaded fine. So in my ipod i set it up to sync and add the movie, nope, I keep getting the unknown -50 error code.
Ive been a faithful apple user since1983, and Im very disappointed, the only help they gave me was to redo the update, he admitted there were a few probelms from the first update I did in july. I didnt update quicktime, because it said something about losing the pro version and possibly havig to buy quicktime .
Can someone help me PLEASE.
This has been 24 hrs of total stress.
Thankyou
Pamela

Hi Marty J. I tried what you said, but all my iTunes Movies still form a longlist at the beginning of Front Row's Movie selection.
Incidentally, unless I misunderstood you, you can't "change" the "Show" box to anything. All I could do was to type "iPod Movies" into the "Show" box. Afterwards, FR shows no category called "iPod Movies" and all of my iPod movies still create a long list before I finally reach the movies of my "Movie" folder (i.e., Users>username>Movies). I want the contents of the Users>username>Movies folder to show up at the top of the list in Front Row. I don't want to have to scroll all the way thru 60+ iPod movies before I get to this folder's contents. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

IPod Classic sync problems

I'm using an iPod Classic. It's 160GB and it's the newest (ish) generation of it. I haven't had any problems syncing it in the past until recently after the latest iTunes update.
My computer recognises my iPod when it's connected and so does iTunes. I've run diagnostics on iPod connectivity, it passes iPod connectivity, but not the device sync test, even though iTunes clearly recognises the iPod is syncing. Beforehand, I had reset my iPod thinking the sync issue was something with my iPod'a hard drive but i had done a check using diagnostic mode and my retracts and reallocs were both at 0 which I assume is very good for an iPod I've had for 3 or 4 years.
The battery is fine and the hard drive seems to be fine. I've even tried both USB ports on my laptop (Toshiba with Windows 7 Home Edition).
I even went and uninstalled iTunes itself (but none of the add-ons) and I'm still having issues.
At the moment it's showing I have 7GB of music when there's only 234 songs on it.
I've also done a reset several times by holding down the menu and center button but it's still not syncing my music properly, still saying I've got 7GB of music when there clearly isn't
if it helps my iPod Classic is using the latest version, 2.0.4 and my computer's software is up to date as well.
I'm also going to try to format the hard drive on it to see if that does something but I doubt it'll help.
if anyone has any advice on how to fix this that'd be great

Hhhmmm!
Not actually sure what your question is.
That said, it appears to centre on the fact that you have 234 songs taking up 7GB of storage. Is that correct? If so, there are two possibilities.
How do you arrive at the figure of 7GB? Is it only the music, or is it all of the storage being used on the iPod? With the iPod connected to your iTunes Library, check to see how much storage is being used by each type of media. In particular, how much "Other" is being used? Hold your mouse over each section so that the info balloon appears and read off how much storage is being used by each type. The crucial section is the Other (as indicated in the screenshot below).
Perhaps most, if not all of your music is encoded at a very high Bit Rate. What format are you using to import from your CDs? Check several songs and make a note of the Kind, Size and Bit Rate. Then post back with that information.

Itunes / Win7 RC Sync problem - yet to find answer/work-around...

Quick synopsis - itunes won't let me re-sync after the initial ipod connection sync as it's already ejected the device (or Win7 has).
I've got Win7 RC, tried itunes 8.1 & latest 8.2, I've uninstalled completely using the advice on this forum & re-installed. I've made sure itunes is authorised on my PC, the itunes install itself was fine (no errors etc).I've tried disc mode, tried different USB ports, tried 'don't auto sync' on the devices tab, tried mucking around with the apple mobile sync bit in Win services too!
Problem : when I attach either my 4th gen Ipod or my video Nano, itunes recognises the device (as does Win7) & sync's immediately. No problems so far. Unfortunately (for me anyway!) as my nano & ipod are both full, it comes up with the dialogue box asking if I want to stop syncing podcasts etc. Trouble is, either of the ipods have already disconnected so even if I click OK, it's too late & itunes comes up with device not found (or some such message) as it's already been ejected.
If I unplug (or hard reset) & replug back in, itunes just starts as normal & tells me that I've not got enough room on the device!
A bit of a catch 22 situation.
It makes no difference if the ipod(s) are in disc mode, if I restart/stop/change the apple mobile device bit in Win services.
I did try to restore both the ipods (which eventually worked) but if course it will not let me re-sync after having sync'd once.
I'm running out of ideas - can anyone help?

ITunes 11 wifi sync problem

Hi all,
I just update to iTunes 11, but since than I'm only able to sync my iPad and iPhone with a cable, the wifi sync option is not working. Both of my iDevices won't find my MacBook
Info:
iPad Wifi 3rd Gen
iPhone 5
MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2011)
Hope that anyone has a solution or Apple comes up with a solution

My itunes wasnt recognizing either my or my husbands phones via wifi either, I took the suggestion of others and reconnected to wifi, didnt work. What ended up working for me was going into network preferences on the mac, and than advanced and deleting my network from the list of preferred networks, turning on wifi on my mac, quitting itunes, turning wifi on my mac back on, reconnecting to my network and opening up itunes. Just synced a song to my iphone via wifi no problem. Odd workaround but hopefully that helps you. I am running osx 10.8.2 and my phones are on ios 6.0.1

ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
What I've done that may have caused this:
I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

IPad Movie Syncing problem -- Greyed out in "On This iPad"

I have attempted to add "Home Video's" to my iPad. They are MP4. I am running the updated versions of ITunes and my Ipad. I have been struggling with this problem for a while now. When I check the Ipad, the "On This Ipad" shows the dotted cirlce and the title of the video is greyed out. I have other home videos that I added in a long ago sync that are active, but cannot get these active. I have tried various settings ie. "Manually Managing Music/Video, Syncing only Checked songs/videos. I have had no success.
When I do go to sync it makes changes in the bar at the bottom of the screen, but then dissapears during the sycning process and reverts back to the orignal. I Would appreciate some help.

I'm sorry I don't have a solution to post, but just want to say that I too (and I'm sure, among millions of others) have experienced nothing but frustration and anger at all the ridiculous bugs that have happened seemingly without any interference from the user's end.
I can't even begin to list all the problems I've had since being forced to upgrade to iOS 7 on my iPhone(s) and iPad(s) being a family of Apple users. The OS "Music" app is completely useless now (half of my 1,200 songs are "greyed out" and unplayable), iTunes doesn't sync properly (it absonlutely refuses to transfer songs no matter how many options and selections in the various panes are checked off) and everything is INCREDIBLY slow.
I've read SO many possible solutions and fixes and, really, I don't have the TIME to be reading endless posts and screwing around "experimenting" trying to get it fixed. And Apple, as usual, is mum and nowhere to be found.
My advice to tech companies is to LEAVE THINGS BE -- especially if there is no real improvement. Unless the change significantly improves the functionality—changing the interface, buttons, or even the icons JUST BECAUSE is stupid policy and infuriates those of us whose lives don't live and breathe Apple...and just want a functioning phone.
