ITunes refuses to sync random videos from time to time

I have the problem tih 1.2.1 and had it with 1.2
When I plug my iPod in, iTunes sometimes refuses to sync some videos, that even are already on the ipod. They are within the specs and synced before. also played well.
And the next time I would connect the iPod they would just sync as always.
This is very strange as it randomly happens. I can't notice any system behind this behaviour. Happens to mpeg4 and h.264 videos. happens to musicvideos and to movies.
Does anyone know how to fix it? Does iTunes somehow recalculate the average bitrate everytime and magically gets another result everytime?!
I'm very confused here!!
Thanks in advance!!

The iPod is seeing the restored computer an a new iTunes library. To make the restored computer yu syncing computer:
- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed in the following:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and maike a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.

However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works!

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I synced my videos from ipad to itunes on my pc, but where can i find my videos i synced to my pc? it's been deleted also on my ipad since i accept to delete it as well.

where can i find my videos i synced from ipad to pc? i can't locate where it has been saved. it's no longer found in my ipad and can't find it either on my itunes where i synced the files. this videos are not the one saved on the photos but in the videos folder itself. please help me with this.

Syncing copies content from your computer's iTunes to your iPad. If they were films and/or TV programmes that you bought from iTunes which were in the Videos app and you've copied them over to your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases ? or a taking a backup should have prompted whether to copy iTunes downloads over) then they should be in the Movies and/or TV Shows part of your library.
If not then you might be able to redownload them, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

ITunes won't sync music video to my iPhone 3G

I purchased a music video from the iTunes store and it won't sync to my iPhone. What gives?

One thing that might help out.
When your iphone is connected, on the summary screen, is the iphone set to sync automatically?
If not, you might need to drag and drop your music videos to the iphone.
If it is set to sync automatically, then go to the music tab and make sure the box is checked to sync music videos.
If it is, try right clicking(control click) on the iphone on the left of itunes under devices and reset warnings.
Now try to sync again and see if any error messages come up.
Hope this helps.

ITunes refusing to sync more than one podcast

I'm having a bit of trouble syncing desired podcasts to my new Nano. I'm using manual sync, and if I attempt to add more than one different podcast by dragging, as suggested by iTunes help, the program is nonresponsive and refuses to sync. It's necessary for me to use manual sync, as I need to pick and choose the exact episodes I want. I've found nothing anywhere in help referring to this, anything anyone has to offer would be appreciated.

i have exactly the same problem with my iphone 4. if i create a new ringtone, it will synch temporarily. It gives me enough time to fool me into thinking i've managed to fix it and even allows me to assign the new tones to contacts. I can even synch several times without issue. But give it 24hours and good ole marimba is the default, and all but one ringtone remain.
If it makes any difference, these ringtones are self created using a CD i own and have ripped into itunes, then converted using the itunes method (resize to less than 30s, export to aac, then change the postfix to .m4r and reload).
Also worth noting is that they show up and can be played in the itunes>library>ringtones.
Any help would be oh so appreciated (before i pull any more hair out).

HP 7 G2 not playing videos from NBA Game Time app

Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but the videos in NBA GameTime app does not play on my HP 7 G2.NBA GameTime: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbadigital.gametimeliteIt basically plays the first second of the video clip & the video frame is stuck - but I can still hear the audio in the background.I have no issues playing the same video from other Android devices (ie my smartphone). Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hey ,
Welcome to the HP forums. I understand you're unable to play video properly on the NBA Game-Time app on your HP 7 G2 tablet. Do you have the same issue streaming video from other apps? If you haven't tried yet, try YouTube or Netflix and let me know if the issue is on all streaming or just this app. These are the steps to take: Reinstall the problem app: Go to Settings > Storage > Apps > Select the app > Uninstall. Once uninstalled go to the Google Play Store app > Select My apps from the menu on the left > Select the All tab > Select the app > Install.
Clear all cache on the tablet: Settings > Storage > Cached Data. You should have the option to erase all the cached data here.
Hard reset: While the tablet is on, press and hold the power button for 8+ seconds to force shut down. Turn the tablet back on and see if that helps.
Factory reset: Make sure you backup any important files or information first. Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset. Thanks.

I have iTunes and am downloading Music videos from YouTube for use on my iPad! They play great on my iPad, But when I play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire machine gun??? Can anybody help me

I have iTunes and I am downloading Music Videos from YouYube to be used on my iPad! After I download them using YTD Video downloader they play great on my iPad... However when I try to play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire Machine Gun! Can anybody help???

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

I can't Sync my video from PC to my iPhone 3GS

It show the error message below after I click the "Sync" button
"video was not copied to the iPhone because it can not be played on this iPhone"
Please help!
Remark: I already tried both MPEG4 and Quick Time formats but it came out the same problem. T__T

You need to convert your music to iPhone supported formats, such as .mp3, .aac, etc. If you don’t know how to do the conversion, download the iPhone PC suite, it will convert all the audios imported to iPhone supported ones and then transfer to your iPhone.

ITunes refusing to sync (wrongly thinks it is over capacity) after iOS5 update

After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS5, I started running into a problem (actually many problems like broken 3G internet but not directly related and I fixed those).
What lead to my current sync problem was initially a "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone. (-34)" infinite loop, described in other posts here as a common issue after iOS upgrades going back years (good job Apple). Out of frustration and to get out of it I ended up deleting my backup, which solved the loop but has now left me unable to sync.
According to iTunes, my phone has no music on it, but in fact it has 22 GB of content (out of 28 capacity). I figured since it thinks the phone is empty I'd just resync everything (a very long process, but until I do it I won't be able to sync at all) but after applying my selection for synching (specific playlists, 128 kbps AAC encoding, etc) iTunes fails to sync and tells me my selections require another 15 GB of space, even though the capacity bar for my selection says 22 out of 28 GB used (which is exactly what the bar said before I updated to iOS 5). What these numbers suggest to me is that even though iTunes doesn't recognize my music as still being on my phone, the sync process itself does and is trying to copy 21 GB of data into 6 GB of free space, resulting in the -15 GB error).
Can I make it recognize those files as already being there (to save myself having to copy them again) and if not how can I have iTunes clear files it doesn't report as being present? Preferably without wiping everything else that's on my phone, such as text message history etc.

How to sync music/videos from iphone to computer - lost ext hard drive

I recently lost my external hard drive where I was storing all my music, videos and photos. Long story, but the backup was not occurring. I have precious video and music on my iphone (some original, not purchased) that I don't have the data for, but the iTunes libraries are still intact. But the libraries are pointing to a drive that doesn't exist. I have purchased a new hard drive that has the same drive letter as the original one. Will iTunes create a new folder and sync my music and videos to the same place, or do I need to recreate exactly the same path? Also, if something like this will work, will it sync, bringing the files from the iPhone to the new external hard drive? Please, can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply, KiltedTim! After reading on some additional resource sites and evaluating suggestions and reviews, I did try a 3rd party software which worked beautifully! The software allows the user to store the data into different folders by content type, including subfolders, too. I completely understand Apple's theology to make the sync a one way deal for copyrighted content, but when the unthinkable happens, it sure is nice to at least have an option to preserve anything personal and legal that you have on your iPhone that you lost on your hard drive, mainly music, videos, voice memos, text messages and notes. I am completely respectul of the protection of copyrighted music...I am just very glad that the people that created the software "had my back" this time for my precious family memories and the time saved trying to reimport all my music CD's!
