ITunes won't let me copy a TV show to iPod Classic

Hi,
I can't copy a TV show to my iPod using either the sync or manual method. Some other TV shows work fine, but not the file I want to copy! When I try to drag the file from my TV show library onto the TV Shows folder on the iPod, the file just "snaps" back and won't actually copy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
GLenn

FIgured it out: the file was in HD format and the iPod Classic cannot play HD files. Downloading the SD version now...

  • I burned disks of previously purchased content that is not available thru iTunes anymore but the latest ver. of iTunes won't let me copy this same content onto a new comp.  Is there a way to do this or maybe an earlier ver. of iTunes to download?

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

    I have just installed itunes, and i purchased an application from the app store.
    Problem is, it won't let me put it onto my ipod touch!

    What happens when you try? Is the App compatible with your version of iPod Touch? Compatible with your version of the iOS.

  • ITunes won't let me copy a particular CD

    I've been copying my CD library in to iTunes.  Hundreds loaded so far with no issue.  One particular one (Gloria Estefan-Destiny) will not load.  A finder window opens with all kinds of files on it. 
    Any idea on how I can load the music of this CD in to my iTunes library?
    Thanks very much!

    LQ Guy,
    According to the listing, the 1996 release is a standard Audio CD, and barring dirt or scratches or defects, should rip normally.
    I do suggest that you try to rip the CD on another computer, preferably using a different program than iTunes.  No guarantee of course, but in ripping sometimes one thing succeeds where another fails, even if for no obvious reason. 
    If it does not work on another machine either, then the fact that Finder sees "all kinds of files on it" makes me wonder if you somehow have the enhanced CD version anyway.
    If it does happen to work on another machine, just bring the resulting MP3 files back to your own machine on a flash drive, and add them to your iTunes library.

  • ITunes won't let me select my own music for iPod Mini

    Every time I connect my iPod Mini, iTunes generates the following message:
    "The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in iTunes music library. Would you like iTunes to automatically select a playlist for you?"
    If I click the "Cancel" button, the iTunes closes my iPod mini connection. If I click "Yes", I have no control over what iTunes downloads and cannot erase and replace the songs it chooses for me.
    I have already removed and downloaded the iTunes and iPod mini and Updater sofware onto my hard drive. What can I do to have more control over what iTunes puts onto my iMini???
    Help!!

    Go into iPod preferences (while the iPod's attached) and choose "Update selected playlists" and you'll be able to pick the playlists you want on the iPod.
    Or you could switch it to manual and drag the songs to the iPod icon . . .

    AFTER recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • HELP!  I got a new iPhone and want to download my music from my computer so I don't have to down load song by song on my phone.  iTunes Match won't let me copy it from my computer.  What do I do?

    I have iTunes Match and it's been fine until now. I'm trying to download my music to my phone so I don't have to use the wifi to play it all the time.....but iTunes match won't let me copy from my computer without shutting it off. If I do that then turn it back on then I lose all the music anyway.
    I'm so frustrated and can't download song by song to my phone.
    help.

    If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.

  • I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.

    Our computer crashed and we had to go back to factory settings to get it back on.  I had to re-install Adobe Digital Editions to borrow books from my library.  I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.  I keep getting "not authorized to copy".

    You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

  • Won't let me copy to hard drive post power surge

    Ok, to make a long story short, I hope, I had an electrical fire (everyone's ok) that involved and destroyed my laptop's power cord and as part of that fun I seem to have had a power surge that has reset some of the defaults on my computer but not all. Some of the folders I created prior to the surge are gone, etc. The only real problem is that the permissions on my internal hard drive seem to have been reset. Below are the things it will and will not allow me to do.
    -- I cannot copy files from a flash drive, cd or external hard drive to the internal hard drive. I get that circle with a line through it. Clicking and dragging, copy/paste, nothing works.
    -- I can move stuff that is already on the internal hard drive from folder to folder.
    -- I can save email attachments to the internal hard drive.
    -- I can copy stuff from internal the hard drive to a flash drive, cd or external hard drive.
    -- I can read the files on flash drives, cds or external hard drives, such as a movie file, just fine, they run without a glitch. The peripherals did not suffer any resets as a result of the fire/power surge. When it happened the computer shut down automatically and I think that saved the accessories from being damaged because the computer is the only thing that showed any changes after it happened.
    And before someone asks, yes, I checked, I have 40 GB of HD space so it's not a space issue.
    I right clicked on MAC HD and did the Get Info and looked at the details of the permissions on various files and tried shifting some of those around but even though it says Read and Write it still won't let me copy to the internal drive from other sources. Interestingly when I got to the User file it was marked Read Only but changing it to Read Write didn't help. Something I did once worked but then it stopped working so I have no idea what it was. I put everything back the way it was. Could somebody please help me? My computer is old and dieing a slow painful death but if I can make it last a little longer that will make my life so much easier. Please let me know if you need any system info or anything.
    *Thank you!!*
    PS. I'm not posting this on the peripheral thread because the problem isn't really the peripherals, it's the system not wanting to play nice with others, so that's why I put this over here.

    Hi. It's not a dumb question, cause if it is then my answer is really stupid, what's a repair permission? lol I don't know what that is so I guess the answer is no, though I can guess from the name it's a program to fix permissions if the files get messed up? I knew how to change the permissions in Get Info but past that I was getting into things I don't know so I figured it was time to ask for help or I'd be on here asking how to un-erase a hard drive. jk So how would I do that and is there anything else I should do?
    Sorry if my initial post was a bit defensive. I had a moderator give me flak over some minor thing on a post once and I was supremely frustrated with this problem. Sorry if it came out kinda angry. I appreciate any help you can give me.

    It depends on what iPhone you have.
    If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
    If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

    As long as you don't need all the bells and whistles of the iTunes Store such as Ping, and don't need to sync an iOS device running iOS 4.x, then iTunes 9.2.1 should work for you. It should be available via Software Update, but if not, you can still get it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x.
    Regards.
    P.S. Mac OS X 10.4 was discontinued three and a half years ago, so yes, it's getting rather long in the tooth. Cheers.
