ITunes won't sync mp4/mov on pictures folder to iPhone/iPad

This has only started happening since updating to IOS 5, on both iPad 1 and iPhone 4. The actual message is: "Some of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone/iPad because they cannot be pladed on this iPhone/iPad"
Problem is, these videos (some taken with the iPhone 4!) have previously sync´d before, so I know that they are the correct format (mp4´s and mov´s). I have tried deleting all pictures, and syncing again to no avail.
I´m on a Windows 7 x64 machine.
Can anyone help, please?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

What can i do if iTunes won't sync my music to my iPod touch / iPhone?

After restoring my HD i installed iTunes again. When i tried to put my music back on my iPod i saw that some of the songs aren't on there anymore because iTunes won't sync it like it should...what can i do?

Sorry if i say this but honestly i'm really disappointed about everyone in this forum here because i was hoping to get help from someone but i didn't even get any reply to my question so i guess i'm gonna call the Apple support...

ITunes won't sync certain photos from same roll to iPhone.

Okay here is the deal. Sometimes after importing photos from the iphone's camera roll, iphoto crashes during the process of deleting the images off the iphone. It usually happens halfway through deleting, so there will be a few photos left on the camera roll that have already been imported. I then manually delete those images from the phone.
Whenever I program itunes to sync the last 6 months of photos from iphoto to my iphone, it ALWAYS leaves out the images that I had to delete manually from the phone. This is driving me crazy. It doesnt give any error messages, nothing. It's just seems like business as usual until I get on my phone, go to the photos and see that all the photos aforementioned simply didn't sync.
I go back to iphoto and make sure that the images are there, and they are. I've even gone so far as to take the photos that won't sync, place them in a whole new album and sync. That works. They go into that album and show up on the phone effortlessly. But I can't really do that because there are literally hundred to thousands of photos like that throughout the last 6 months in my iphoto. I don't know which are which.
I have tried deleting the ipod photo cash folder in iphoto, but that didn't work either. It simply resized the last 6 months all over again, synched to phone and STILL left out any photos that were imported into iphoto, but not deleted by due to a crash, and manually deleted from phone by myself.
If anyone could help me with this nightmarish problem, I would be VERY happy.
Thanks a lot, Luke.
Rest In Peace Mr. Jobs. Thank you for making the world a better place.

Itunes won't sync from my home computer to my iphone 6

I bought my iphone 6 yesterday. It has no music on it. I went home to sync it with my home computer and got this message on itunes: "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I don't have any purchased items on my new iPhone.
I then followed their directions and slicked on Store > Authorize This Computer and put in the apple id and then got this message: "This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have 2 computers out of your available 5."
Any ideas on what I need to do to get MY music from my computer to my iPhone 6?
Thanks!

Quicktime 7.1.3 and iTunes won't open .mp4 movies

Both my PowerMac G4 and MacBook will not open mp4 files in quicktime anymore. After updating both programs movies that used to play now will not play nor import into the itunes library. Quicktime gives an error "the movie could not be opened"

Did you repair permissions (and I know you didn't)?
If not, do that.
Download the full installer for iTunes and QT separately and if necessary, repair permisisons, install them , repair pemissions again after the reboot.

ITunes won't sync my movies or songs correctly. Please help.

Connected my iPhone 5s to my iMac; iTunes popped up & recognized my device as it should. Attempted to delete some movies off my phone through iTunes after unchecking the automatically sync & checking the manually manage music & videos. After checking only the videos I wanted to remain on my phone & clicking apply, not only does it not delete the unchecked videos but it also tells me I do not have enough room on my ipod for the changes. I was not adding, only deleting, so how could I now not have enough room? After going round and round with this I finally decided to delete all my movies & music & start over but I got the same result as above. I then tried restoring my phone to the last back up but it told me I did not have enough room on my phone to do so. Also, what iTunes shows is on my phone & what is actually on it is two different things. Please help as I have been working on this for over 2 hours now! And after finally figuring out yesterday what setting needed to be adjusted on my iMac to make the internet actually work with my new modem, which was a 2 week ordeal, I am about done with Apple!!!

Hey,
I just contacted their support and they said that if you install the filter now, iTunes will not be blocked. That's a wicked awesome turn around time!
However, you don't have to reinstall. You can allow it through the Control Center under Content Filter. Just click on the application list, uncheck iTunes, click Apply, then OK, and close the control center.

ITunes won't sync all movies to Apple TV!

Hi,
I have an Apple TV with a US iTunes Store account. I bought 7 movies. And iTunes only copies one movie, Letters to Juliet, to the Apple TV. Whichever setting I try, it only copies that one!
What do I need to do?
I have reset the Apple TV twice and it still didn't work. I have given out the authorizations multiple times, reset those and re-authorized them again.. But no success.. I am on a stand still, don't know what to do!
Can someone help me?
Thanks!

If I were you I would contact the iTunes support team directly. I once had a problem where my iTunes gift cards were not redeeming, but once I contacted the iTunes support team via email, they were able to fix everything.

You can also contact them directly by phone them or setting up an appointment for them to call you.

ITunes won't sync all photos across from iPhoto to my iPad, either when using 'all photos' or manually selecting the events. All the rest sync normally

Can anyone suggest a workround or reason why I can't sync a batch of about 300 photos in 5 events on consecutive days across from iPhoto 09 to my iPad 2? All the rest (>1000 frames mainly before and some after) go over, including some shot on the same digital camera (before and after). I've tried using 'all photos' and also manually selecting the events individually, they won't go. An album containing some of these photos goes across without them included, and converting the whole album on iPhoto to a movie and then dropping that into my videos won't go either. I've cleared the sync history as advised by the support line, and all software is updated. Loads of room on the iPad

Started having the same issue with my iPad 2 just this week. Tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache, disabling then re-enabling photo sync through iTunes, but keep getting the error: "Some of your photos, including the photo “XXX.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “XXX” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad." This is with iOS 4.3.5, iTunes 10.4, and Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Interestingly enough, I have no issues syncing the same exact set of photos to my iPhone 4 (also running 4.3.5). This seems to be an iPad-only issue.

ITunes won't sync all of my songs to my iPhone 4S

When I sync to my iPhone 4S, it won't allow my to manually manage the music. The box can be checked, but other than that, nothing happens. On my phones music section, there are no options, other than voice memos, so I can't drag music to it. When I sync my iTunes, it syncs to iCloud only part of my library, and I am forced to download what I want to permanently reside on my iPhone from the iCloud. However, not all of my library is available. How do I get the rest of my songs there? Supposedly, iMatch was the solution, but it did nothing.

Is the music in question selected to sync?

ITunes won't sync any of my songs to my iPhone. It won't convert any songs

So, recently, iv'e been having a common error with iTunes in which it doesn't let me sync any songs to my iPhone. Every time i connect my phone via cable to itunes, it start to sync. After it has done a few songs it will give me an error saying that the song couldn't be transferred to my phone because it couldn't be converted. I do have the 'convert to 128kbps AAC box ticked and.
i have gotten some of the songs to sync on via wifi syncing, but half of the time that is greyed out!
I have also re installed itunes many times, and also restored my phone to factory settings to see if that worked. the problem still persists.
I have no idea what to do any more!

ITunes won't sync all my purchased music to my iPhone 4

The music that was purchased on my iPhone was erased from my phone, but it's still on iTunes. When I try to sync it back to my phone, the playlist "Purchased from my iPhone" is listed is there but none of the music is there. It's not in my library either. I checked the box to sync it but nothing works, and the rest of my music is still on my phone. Please help!

replying to aissy55
It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

Won't sync purchased movies?

My ipod classic has movies and t.v show options on the main menu, in iTunes too, but iTunes won't sync videos to my ipod. I had movies I bought in iTunes which worked fine on my old nano, but an error shows up saying "____ was not copied onto the ipod "Ashleigh's Ipod" because it cannot be played on this Ipod."
Also, movies/pictures/video is not an option on my capacity chart, it just had audio, other, and free, but I don't know if that's new and doesn't include a color code for movies because I have none on my ipod.

And I messed around and downloaded a free podcast from the iTunes store to see if THAT would work and the error message says "____ was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod 'Ashleigh's Ipod'".

My old computer crashed and I imported my music to my new computer. Now iTunes won't sync the music in my library to my iPhone. How can I fix this?

I hadn't synced my iPhone yet to my new computer after buying some more music. When I went to sync, with that computer, it asked me to delete all the old music that had been from the old computer. I had been through this before with no problems so I had my phone's music wiped and was ready to resync my entire library. Everytime I try, though, it only completes the back up step, and the determing which songs to sync step, but it won't actually sync the music and just says it's done.

Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

Itunes won't sync music to my iPhone5!!

I just updated to OSX Mavericks and I have the latest update for iTunes, but when i sync my phone to my macbook pro and try to put my music on it, nothing happens. When it gets to part 4 or 5 (whichever one is the part where the music get's sync'd) it just skips over it and finishes. I have been stuck for so long, I have tried looking at support sites etc... but nothing is working. I tried downloading songs from itunes, and from the internet and nothing will sync. Advice would be greatly appreciated!! i am so frustrated, i have tried syncing over wifi and thru the cord but it doesn't make a difference. it's like this happened out of nowhere. thanks in advance!

''I was experiencing the same problem and tried all sorts of stuff, including items in this thread with no luck, this is what ultimately worked for me.
1. Download iFunBox (or other utility that gives you access to the filesystem)
2. Delete the _iTunes_Control folder
3. Delete everything in the Purchases folder
4. Force a sync in itunes
5. Profit.
So far I haven't seen any weird problems, other than my songs now sync.''

You can only sync via computer iTunes. Use ddd .mp4 to iTunes library.

After that select the .mp4 and sync with your iPhone that is connected and selected in iTunes sidebar.
