ITunes stopped syncing movies on my iPod Touch

This one is driving me crazy today.
iPod Touch - latest generation. iOS 8.1.
iMac 27 - Yosemite 10.10. All updates current.
iTunes 12.0.1.26
For a few years now, I've had home videos of my granddaughter on my iPod Touch. About a dozen of them.
Today iTunes stopped syncing those. On the iPod I see some of the icons, but if I try playing the movies, there's nothing there.
Looked at the movies on my iPod Touch through iTunes ... all the movies have a grey, dotted circle on the left of the movie name in iTunes.
I've turned the iPod off, restarted the iMac a few times ... same result. iTunes goes through the sync cycle, no error messages, and then the same result - no movies on my iPod Touch.
I launched Console to see if any errors were reported there - cleared the list, ran the sync - no error messages relating to iTunes appeared in Console. (Many other suspicious entries in Console - mdworker errors etc etc but nothing about iTunes).
What on earth is going on? Any ideas/suggestions on how I can get my movies back on my iPod Touch?
Thanks

there are quite a few different free programs you could use to convert.. and yes if you convert it to mp4 and added it to your itunes it should sync fine.. here is a good read on ripping/conversion for the ipod.

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch. I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem. Can anyone help?

thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu. Do you have any other suggestions?

Syncing movies into my ipod touch

I have converted a movie file into mpeg4 format and uploaded into itunes,but on syncing my ipod touch via itunes, the movie file doesnt show on my ipod touch. Can you help me identify the problem? This has been happening to me quite often while uploading videos.

I have never seen size as an issue as long as you have enough space on the ipod touch for the file.
It's not an issue IF you convert it to iPod image size with iTunes.
For example, the touch can NOT play HD image size content.

How do I sync movies from one iPod touch to another

I'm trying to sync it to my brother's account

You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another, the songs have to be in iTunes and you update your second iPod from there. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

ITunes wont sync purchases with my iPod touch?

I have an iPod 5th generation and my boyfriend has an iPod touch, both synced to the iTunes on this computer. He recently bought some songs through his touch on our iTunes account.
on the purchase history, it shows that the songs were bought, and when I go to the song itself in the iTunes store on the computer, it shows the song as being previously purchased. but yet, I cant seem to get it onto my iTunes, even though its showing fine on his touch. I should be able to get it, right?

Did you completly remove and reinstall all Apple software using these instructions:

Syncing movie screen for iPod touch wont scroll

When I connect my ipod touch, then go to movies tab in the itunes (v9.02) two or three lines of movie icons show and the tops of the next row. If i try too scroll down, the initial window goes up like a window shade and leaves me a blank screen, it does not reveal the rest of the movie icons. Is there some setting in itunes that will affect this or is it a bug?

- Make sue all accessibility features are turned off; See:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT2729 iTunes stopped syncing movies to iPad

The file format is right for iPad because iTunes previously synced the same movies without problems (my kids like to erase apps/movies only to put it back again later). When I check the movies that I want to and click apply/sync it shows sync in progress for a few seconds (syncs music/books etc) but no movies move to iPad. This is true to old/previously viewed as well as new movies.

Hey there kuyosh!

The specific section you want to pay attention to will be "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad." If you are still having issues after following the steps in that section of the article, you will want to restore the iPad by following the instructions in this article:

Can't sync movie to my iPod touch

I got a copy of the Hunger Games and put it on my iTunes account but when I try to sync it I get this message "The Hunger Games" was not copied to the iPod "iDevices iPod" because you are not authorized for it on this computer. How do I get "authorized"? I am an administrator on my girlfriends laptop which I share with her, so this isn't making sense.
