ITunes thinks my iPod Video can't handle video!

I have a 60G 5th Generation iPod video. I have subscribed to a Podcast that includes video postings. Although these play fine in iTunes, they won't transfer them to my iPod.
Originally, iTunes claimed my iPod isn't compatible with video! These days I don't even get that as it simply ignores the video podcasts.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

If you want to test a known working video you can go here:
Verifying video syncing to iPod
The second half of that is about verifying video sync with the iPod and it provides a pre encoded video that is supplied by Apple.

  • Seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPod video 30GB

    I got a 30gb video iPod for christmas, and so the next day, i installed iTunes and all that jazz onto my computer. The thing is, after i plug in my iPod, it does not appear on the source list. I went through the 5 R's and did everything i could that was on the support page (There was something about a local disk, but i couldnt find it). I am pretty sure that the computer is recognizing the iPod, just the iTunes won't. I have tried it on a different computer, and it worked fine, but the computer had absolutely no music on it. If this can be more of a clue whats wrong, my sister had gotten an iPod shuffle a few months ago, and it had worked with iTunes. But then she had left for college, and when she came back for christmas, it was not recognized by iTunes either. If anyone could tell me how to get it to work, it would be greatly appreciated.

    well i have gone through this discussion page ever since my mini broke back over thanksgiving break and in the other discussions we figured out that windows did one of their automatic updates which is blocking itunes from our ipods. some people have found fixes but none have worked for me. and i called the apple support MANY times and they give NO support. i was just about to buy the video ipod but now im kinda reconsidering since my mini isnt even working. but if you look at some of the other topics in this forum maybe one of these people's fixes could work for you, (they dont ALL work for EVERYBODY, but they could work for you.)

  • Itunes folder on ipod (video) is not visible in disk mode?

    I am trying to use my ipod as a disk drive to move its music to my desktop (had to reload XP on desktop and used ipod is the music backup). Following the instructions from ipod help (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173) works just fine up to a point. However, when the ipod is in disk mode and I go to move music from it to the desktop there is no "itunes" folder visible to drag and drop? Folders for photos and calendar show up, but no folder for music (itunes). There is clearly music on the ipod as I am listening to it right now. The folder is invisible and I can't access it? Help please. Ric

    This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
    1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
    2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
    3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
    Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

  • ITunes not recognizing iPod Video on my MacBook...any solution?

    I have read similar problems but no replies. I have a new MacBook and iTunes doesn't recognize my 30GB iPod Video. All software is up to date. I have to reset the iPod and then it syncs. I am assuming it may be the iTunes version. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

  • ITunes thinks my iPod is a disk and won't copy music to it

    hey all,
    I have a new 30GB iPod (my first), registered as "ROB"S IPOD". The first few times I imported songs from iTunes to my iPod, no problem. However, now when I plug in the iPod, it takes the first few songs (while iTunes shows "updating iPod - do not disconnect" message), then an error window pops up saying "Attempting to copy to the disk 'ROB"S IPOD' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I've tried updating Windows, reinstalling iTunes, etc. as suggested in help and support, but with no luck. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Am running iTunes 6 (6.0.1.3).

    I have exactly the same problem. Applied the Restore procedure. Procedure successful (apparently), but after connection iTunes copied just 4 or 5 songs from the library, then quit again with the same message about the "disk". Curious what happened in your case, Sybil 74.

  • Can't Put Movie into my iTunes Libarary or iPod Video(5g)

    I recently converted a video to mp4 using ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter. It's in the mp4 format and should be perfect to be put into iTunes. Well when I try sticking it in there it says that it can't be played on my iPod or something like that. How can I get it in there?

    Okay... I did this last night. I ran the converting thing in iTunes. I woke up in the morning to find out it was 1/3 finished. I pressed the "x" and it jumped to three fourths then cancelled. Is there anyway to speed this up. Because I ran it from 10 to 7. 9 hours seems like a bit much.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • My ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and itunes doesnt reconize ipod what can i  do?

    my ipod stuck in recovery mode itunes dont reconize or show device and i dont have access to orginal computer what can i do to solve this problem

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
