ITunes not keeping my video files?

I have several .mp4 (video) files that I have put into my iTunes. After updating my iPod, I can view them once, and then after later updating my iPod with new music or video files (and not changing the previously added video files referred to previously), I can no longer access the video files on my iPod. This is weird because they are still in my iTunes. Is there a setting or something that I have overlooked in iTunes that I can change to prevent this?
Has anyone else encountered this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks,
WalMatt23

Load your IPOD and sheck the setting for
Ipod Device > and> Music options;
Check the selection that best suit your preference.
See if this will correct your problem.

  • ITunes not importing any video files

    I just had to re-install OS X from disc. After the install, I was thrilled everything was right where I left it. My iTunes library is on an external Hard Drive, and iTunes remebered to look there, and everything was perfect.
    That is of course until I attempted to add a video file to my library. Nothing happens at all. No error message, no nothing. It just acts like I didnt ask it to do anything.
    To test it out, I removed a video file that played just fine in iTunes from the library. Then, I attempted to add that SAME video file back - and nothing happened. When you try to open it, nothing.
    I then tested audio and everything imported fine.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I've got EXACTLY the same problem. This didn't happen until iTunes 7.
    WHAT HAS APPLE DONE??
    I have spent three years transferring my own off-air TV shows to .mp4 files. I have hundreds and hundreds of hours of video in this format.
    The format has always worked perfectly, and they all used to transfer to iTunes with no problem at all.
    Now, however, all of a sudden dragging and dropping results in -- NOTHING.
    No explanation, no warning -- iTunes just acts as though I haven't done anything.
    The problem extends to my iPod with Video, too. I actually have about a dozen .mp4s on the iPod that still play absolutely fine.
    But when I try adding another file JUST LIKE IT, I get a message saying that the video file "cannot play on this iPod."
    I've tried converting these files to H.264 and to three other formats which my EyeTV app. says are optimized for the iPod. NOTHING.
    WHAT HAS APPLE DONE TO iTUNES??? And why aren't more people up in arms about it??
    More practically, can I solve the problem by deinstalling iTunes 7 and re-installing iTunes 6?
    Thanks.

  • After upgrading recently I got this message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." The music/video files are still on my MacBook Pro.  Is it because I'm still on 10.5.8?  How do I fix this?

    For your reference I’m using a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.  Several weeks ago on a Monday I received an upgrade for iTunes. When Tuesday arrived I attempted to log in so that I could download the latest freebie song(s).  I was met w/this message: “The file ‘iTunes Library.itl’ cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.”
    The music/video files are still on my Mac (I’ve verified that via Searchlight), but I’m unable to open the program.  Since I know that 10.5.8 is rapidly becoming prehistoric, could it be that the newest iTunes isn’t compatible w/this particular OS?  I’d like to switch up, but understand that the newest OS won’t work on a Mac of this vintage (6 years old).  In addition, my Adobe products (all CS2) won’t work w/anything newer than 10.5.8, so I’m reluctant to go to a newer OS (I just can’t afford the Adobe upgrade $$$ @ this point). 
    Is there any way to get a download of an “old” iTunes version?  If there were, I’d simply refuse any future upgrades until my personal economy allows me to stop working as if it were 2006.  Please advise, somebody!

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • Exported my video from Elements 12 but Powerpoint does not recognise the video file. How can we do it?

    Exported my video from Elements 12 - format mp4 but Powerpoint does NOT recognise the video file. Why?

    .wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
    If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

    Ask Panasonic whether or not they provide OSX versions of the software.

  • When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

    Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files.  It will only import the photo files.  How do I import the video files?

    You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

  • Please help CS 4.2 will not import ANY video file

    I've been working for days to get this fixed. Everything installs fine software wise and I am using a
    Matrox RTX2 for capture/playback but Prem CS4.2 will not import any video file type.
    My system is up to spec.
    I've seen this problem discussed but none of the (many) suggested solutions have helped.
    I've uninstalled and re-installed the OS and clean install multiple times and still I get "file format not supported" with EVERY file type.
    Please help!
    Brian

    Brian,
    Welcome to the forum.
    When issues occur with Matrox cards, updating its drivers often fix things.
    If you create a non-Matrox Project, can you then Import AV files?
    Good luck,

  • Layout found in the VIDEO_TS directory is not a DVD-Video file...etc.

    Hi all, I am struggling to get a project finished and really need some help after trawling the net without winning.
    I can "Build" my project to a folder with Audio_TS and Video_TS files without errors (it's a dual-layer project, by the way), but when I burn the VIDEO_TS files in Toast, the finished DVD won't play as it should in a DVD player. Nothing like in the simulation, which plays fine, buy the way...
    When I burn from inside DVDSP, I get the error message:
    "The file 'CIRCUSOFMYSTERY.layout found in the VIDEO_TS folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT"
    and, directly underneath is:
    "The file 'VOB_DATA.LAY'.layout found in the VIDEO_TS folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT"
    ...so I gather these errors are causing the playback error...
    The problem is displayed thus:
    When the disc is inserted, the short video I have set as a first-play does not play, in fact nothing happens. When I hit the DVD player's PLAY button, the main track plays and the menu is not shown at all.
    If someone could offer some assistance I would certainly appreciate it.
    Cheers.
    Spookola.

    The messages are not errors.
    They are for information only -it is just telling you that those files will not be in the final DVD because the finished disc doesn't need them, nor would they serve any useful purpose if retained.
    The Build folder does need them though, which is why it is listed as a "warning". I find that "warning" is a little exaggerated -"attention" would probably be a better choice. If those items are removed, running the build command again will recreate them.
    Your issue might be a setting in Toast. Before you burn the img file, test it in Mac OS X's built in DVD Player. Mount the image in the Finder and in DVD Player, go to File > Open DVD Media.

  • Lightroom 4--4.1---4.2 will not accept .mpg video files

    Lightroom 4, 4.1 and 4.2 will not accept .mpg video files.  I have to Convert these files from .mpg to mp4 in order for any of the lightrooms 4--4.2 to accept the videos. Yet in the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/video-support-lightroom-4-3.html it states : Extensions supported---MPG, so why do I have to convert all my video files to mp4??????

    A particular file extension doesn’t dictate the actual video and audio codecs in a particular video file.   I expect what is happening is that LR doesn’t understand one or both of the codecs and it needs the file converted one a set it does understand.
    Did the videos work in LR3 but not LR4?
    Can you play the original MPGs in QuickTime?

  • Upgrading to iTunes 10.6.0.40 imports MPEG-4 movie files as "QuickTime movie file" not "MPEG-4 Video file"

    Recently updated itunes to 10.6 and since then adding any new MPEG-4 Video file itunes is flagging as QuickTime.
    This creates an issue since my Apple TV doesn't recognize these types of files in iTunes.
    To validate it's the itune upgrade, previous "MPEG-4 Video file" entries added and played on Apple-TV were imported an now show as "QuickTime Video file"
    Thx

    This problem has been resolved after the ATV update was received. 
    The ATV now recognizes the videos marked in itunes as Quick time eventhough they are Mpeg-4 video files.

  • Why does PP CS5 not keep my preview files on my Mac?

    I love Premiere Pro on my Mac because it interfaces so well with AE. However, every time I render something in my DSLR timeline, shutdown Premiere, then open it later, I have to re-render again.
    I am not a novice and I know what I am doing, but I've tried everything and it won't keep my render files.
    I want to switch away from Final Cut because I can edit DSLR natively in Premiere, but Final Cut seems to work better.
    I am using dual 2.93 ghz quad core Xeon processors, 16gb ram. Internal 4tb raid, 3 external 4tb GRaid firewire drives for video storage. These 3 drives are always attached to my system and are always on when editing. The render files are always there and not on another portable drive somewhere.
    I can render my timeline in PPro, then close the program.  Open the program back up in a minute and have to re-render.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

    Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
    "Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
    As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
    Thanks for the help.
    Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

  • Quicktime will not play any video files

    When trying to play any compatible video files .mov, .mp4 etc... all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen. The computer is not frozen I can close the window with the red x. I can open Quicktime and the web stuff opens but opening a video file on the computer causes this. I confirmed the latest version of Quicktime in installed and I have confirmed the video files I'm trying to play work on another computer and the .mp4 file plays in media player on this computer. The video card driver is up to date. I want to play my .mov files from my iphone but can't.

    all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen.
    Curious ... I wonder if this is a blown-out display preference?
    Could you check something for me please? Create a new user account on the PC with full sdminidtrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. Try playing a file in the new account. Does it display properly?
    If it works okay in the new account, let's try to get things working in the normal account again with the instructions from the following thread:
