ITunes U videos not on iPod touch - any advice?

Hi,
One of the big reasons I got the iPod touch is to watch videos from iTunes U. They are in my iTunes in the library under Movies (latest version of iTunes), but not on my iPod touch. I synced everything, so it should be there. The specific course I'm looking at (but I'd like many more) is Linear Algebra 18.06 from MIT, if that helps. Here's the info on a typical file:
Kind: MPEG-4 Video File
Size 85.3 MB
Bit rate: 74kbps
Profile: Low complexity
Total bit rate: 294 kbps
Video dimensions: 320x240
Video Codec: MPEG-4
Any advice is most appreciated.

Hi Russ
I had the same problem when I tried to watch iTunes U videos. Find the video you want in your iTunes library, click on it and then click on "covert for iPod iPhone" in the advanced menu. Converting will take a few minutes, and when it's done you will see 2 copies in your library. The 2nd one is the one that will play on the IPT, so synch that one. You can delete the first one off the library if you want, and the iopd friendly version will stay on. I don't know why they did this, but I found that some videos play fine and others don't without converting first. Hope this works out for you!

Itunes sudenly will not sync Ipod touch

I had my ipod touch all synced up fine with itunes. I bought an ipad and synced it to the same itunes. I plugged my ipod touch into charge and left it. It automatically opens itunes, no big deal. Well itunes erased everything on my ipod touch and now will not do anything when I plug my ipod in. It doesn't even know it's there. My computer said "does not recognize device in USB port blah blah blah, installing device software." And itunes still doesn't recognize ipod touch. What the **** did that ipad do to my computer???

Windows 7 (32) itunes 8.0.2 does not recognise ipod touch - any ideas?

trying windows 7 beta, upgrading from vista, most things work fine but when I plug my ipod in itunes does not see it any more. Windows 7 just shows it as an unspecified device, not browsable or anything. Tried re-installing itunes, re-booting etc, doesnt make any difference - my music library etc is still OK, it just doesnt see my ipod touch. Does anyone have any ideas on this please? Thanks.

ITunes 9 does not recognize iPod Touch (1st Gen); Vista does -- as a ...

...Still Digital Camera, complete with a DCIM folder.
Upon USB hookup, Vista popups up a new window with the directory My Computer\Apple iPod\ , with the sub-directories of Internal Storage\DCIM. Free space and Used space are both 0 bytes.
Additionally, the attempt to reset the iPod failed, as Vista claims that recovery mode for the iPod is not supported.

It says 9.1.1(11) -- and the update check says it's there are no updates for me.
Looking through the drivers that are associated with the iPod, I get:
\system32\drivers\WpdMtpDr.dll
\system32\drivers\WpdUSB.dll
\system32\drivers\WUDFRd.sys
\system32\WpdConns.dll
\system32\WpdMtp.dll
\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
No USBaApl.sys at all.
An attempt to auto-update the driver and by manually pointing to the \system32\drivers\ directory yields:
Best driver already installed -- Digital Still Camera
Without an .inf file to easily associate to the iPod, it's hard to choose which of the device drivers to force the usbaaple.sys to the iPod -- I can't choose .sys files, only .infs.
Of the device types:
(Standard MTP-Compliant Device)
--Kodak DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera
--Kodak DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera
--Kodak Digital Camera
--Kodak Digital Camera
--MTP Device Version: 6.0.6000.16386 [6/21/2006]
--MTP Device Version: 6.0.6000.18000 [6/21/2006]
(Standard MTP-compliant devices)
--Digital Still Camera *What Vista thinks the iPod is
--Digital Still Camera
--MTP Device
--MTP Device
--MTP IP Device
--MTP IP Device
(Standard Windows Mobile device)
--Windows Mobile device
(WPD file system device)
--Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver
Outside of the Kodak drivers, I've no idea which one would be best suited for the iPod, and I suspect none of them will work. I should note, the iTunes did recognize the iPod at some point. Thankfully, I only sync'ed to the iPod instead of maintaining a portion of my library on the iPod Touch (I lost some tracks on an iPod Mini when slipped off the jack and hit the ground, crashing the hard drive); I don't have any photos or videos on it.

ITunes 12.1 not recognizing iPod Touch 5

I just installed IOS 8.1.3 and iTunes 12.1. Ever since then, my iPod will not sync to iTunes. My computer will recognize an apple device, but when I look in my iTunes nothing is connected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, restarting my computer and iPod and everything else that has been suggested. I've Determined that it is my iTunes that is the problem. I plugged in my iPod to my friends laptop which has iTunes 10 and i could transfer music perfectly. Same cord, same iPod. But if i try to do it with on my computer with iTunes 12.1 it does no recognize my iPod. I've tried everything that has been suggested, so if anyone knows if they are going to fix itunes 12.1 or what can i do? (Don't send me to any links telling me to refresh anything or uninstall/re install because nothing works)

Artwork is shown in iTunes window, but not on iPod Touch

All of my albums' artwork are showing up in the iTunes window, but here in the last few days, some have disappeared from my iPod Touch and some are showing the wrong album cover (wrong artist and all) even though the artist and album name are correct in the info for the song. I have tried syncing it a number of times an it hasn't helped. Can anyone help??

You're probably going to have to restore it to factory settings and sync it again.
There used to be an option not to sync artwork that you could toggle off and on to fix it, but that has been removed.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
-Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
-On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
(And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
Thanks:)

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

My daughter has entered the wrong passcode too many times, it is now disabled. When I connect to iTunes, it will not let me go any further until I enter the correct passcode. I no longer get the option to do this, all I get is iPOD disabled. Help

Restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.
