ITunes say Some of the videos in your library were not copied to the ipad, what am I doing wrong?
I bought movie on my ipad and watched them. I then bought movies on my HP desktop from iTunes but when I synced my ipad to get them to download it took off the movies and won't let me download any of them, it says Some of the videos in your library were not copied and cannot be played on ipad, but I think I've done everything right. Does anyone have a suggestion?
the only time i ever got that error was when i would drag videos i encoded myself into itunes (not purchased from apple).
the solution for me was that the audio track was not in the correct format. ipad and iphones want the video to contain
a H.264 video track
a AAC audio track
when i would try to import m4v videos and i got that message it was because the audio track was not AAC and it was another format like MP3 or WMA/wav

Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found
Hi All, problem with my ipad mini. When trying to copy music over I get the following "some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found". I reset the ipad, as new, not a backup copy, and managed to rectify the problem, right until I downloaded IOS 6.1.3, now the problem is back and the previous solution does not work. The songs can be easily transferred to my ipad and iphone, so they are no problems with the itunes library.
The issue is in iTunes, not the iPad.
In the itunes music library go to the songs that you miss, rightclick and choose "show in Finder", that results in "not found" and you have the option to locate (and "connect" them), if they are gone from your computer, you will have to restore them from a backup or TM. -

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!
See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account? -
i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.
i have re-installed itunes several times, deleted all my music and iported it again. retored my ipod and still i have the same msg. its only stating 8 songs so far that cannot be copied onto my ipod. please can someone help as ive tried everything that i can possibly do. thanks.Hello mobyash,
Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod. See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.

Morning,
i got 5.6Go of music but not on the C drive, i've done a redirection to My Music Folder to "I:\My Music" instead of the default location
I can't put in on the default location i don't have enough space on my SSD.
I can play all the music i want on Itunes, when i wanna sync my iphone (the old and the new) i got this error.
It's never on the same song and a few are copied on the Iphone
I've tried re-create the itunes library, restaure the iphone from a previous backup or erase all the setting and data.
I've tried using WIFI or a different cable.
I've looked in C:\Users\momo\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs
but didn't found any clues.
I think it might be because the disk is not reading fast enough (that's why it doesn't always stop on the same song but it's only a guess).
I'm having this issue for more than a year but now that i have a new iphone i know the issue does not come fro the iphone.
Can you give me an advice ?
Or just an itunes with a debug mode to know exactly what is wrong.
My Itunes version is 12.1.1.4 (i've tried some older version and i still have the same issue)
My last Iphone version is 8.1.2 it's an Iphone 5
The old was an Iphone 4 on IOS 5.0.1
I work in the IT so i can do some technical things.
Apologies if i don't reply quickly
ThanksI kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

I have been getting this error message even though I know that the videos I am trying to sync to my iPhone is in the right format, mp4. I have about 4 GB in videos and all of them are in this format but the new videos I am trying to sync to the phone (about 11 of them) in the same format cannot be copied over.
Any clue?
I am using iPhone 4 on the latest iTunes version on a Windows 7 PCI kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync.

Has anybody got this message? iTunes says this when I sync my iPhone4. It does not say what songs were not copled or whether it is my iPhone 4 or my iMac (2011) 21" that it is referring to. Both devices are authorized in iTunes 10.4 (80). How do you fix it? Running OS 10.6.8

Hi Helpers,
I know this error happens a lot and easy to solve if the files are still in the mac.
However, I've already removed (deleted) two movies I sync-ed before. Now everytime I connect my iphone this message appears and I have no idea how to 'tell iTunes' that they are not in my mac anymore! And obviously I can not delete these two moives appearance in the 'Movies' tab in iTunes.
Very annoyed.
Please help me!
Thanks!Problem solved.
Thanks everyone. -
'Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied..." Errors
I keep receiving the following errors when syncing content between my MacBook Pro and my Apple TV:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the Apple TV because they could not be found."
The items the error refers to are no longer on my MacBook Pro because I have deleted them. How can I get Apple TV to overlook, or bypass, the already deleted Podcasts?
Thank you.Ok, this is what seems to have happened. I deleted three podcasts without listening to them. The ATV didn't, however, delete them. I found this out when I redownloaded the podcasts that were causing me difficulty, and noticed that there were now two of each on the ATV.
Here's what I did. I completely deleted my small library of podcasts; removed the files from the iTunes library when prompted to do so. I resynced my library. All podcasts were gone ... except the three that were causing the problem. I resynced. This time the main titles for the podcasts were there, but the files "could not be read"; finally, I resynced, went away for 30 or some minutes, and voila, no more podcasts.
I will try to reload my podcast regulars later on.
1. Delete all podcasts from iTunes
2. Remove files when prompted to do so
3. Resync Apple TV
4. Walk away; go outside; enjoy the fresh air.
5. Check your Apple TV
6. If all is well, reload your podcasts; if not, try another resync.
Hope it works for you. -
Some items in the iTunes library were not copied because they could not be converted error
When I try to sync my iPhone with my Windows version of iTunes I get the error "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because one or more errors occurred."
The error for all 3 of the songs is: "iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
The 3 songs are all songs that I have purchased from iTunes recently. One of them is just one song of an album that I purchased. If I go to my iPhone and download the songs from my purchased music section, they will download and play just fine. However, every time I sync the iPhone and iTunes I get the same error.
I am using iTunes10.6.3.25. I am running 6.0 iOS on the phone.
Thanks!I stumbled across this thread for the same issue. I had 12 songs that suddenly wouldn't sync from iTunes on my iMac to my iPhone 4.
I use iTunes Match and the missing songs were both purchased from iTunes and matched from CD's I had ripped.
Per Winnits I also ended up deleting them and downloading them to resolve the issue.
I took a screenshot of the error window ("Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone "My Name iPhone" because one or more errors occurred.") showing a list of the songs. Then I disconnected my iPhone.
I then deleted each song (but NOT from iCloud) and sent the files to the trash. The iCloud download icon immediately appeared and I clicked on it to download the song again. A few of the song titles were the same, either from different artists or a couple of live and studio versions. I deleted each one since you can't tell the specifics from the error message.
Then I reconnected my iPhone, let it sync and everything was fine, no more error message. I've no idea what the issue was…perhaps a corrupt file, who knows? I'm just glad it wasn't more than the dozen I ran into.
Hope that helps anyone that follows! -
Error Syncing: Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied
I'm getting this error message: *+Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they could not be found; I've got over 100 of these when I look at the list.+* How do I clean this up?

for the avoidance of doubt, these files could not physically be on an external disk which isn't connected ? or could you have deleted the actual files from the iTunes music folder via explorer ?
what about the main iTunes music library ? do the files have a "!" next to them ? do you get a +*would you like to locate+* warning when you try to play them in iTunes ?
