ITunes won't sync the AVI files in iPhoto Library to iPod, only photos!

The AVI files in my iPhoto Library are part of the dreaded Left Behind series ... iPod style. Surely there's a way around this. Anyone?

When I send my iPhoto Library to my iPod using the iPod Sync in iTunes, I'm only trying to BACK THEM UP
Do you have "Copy full resolution photos to iPod" ticked on the Photo tab?
If not, you are simply putting a thumbnail to the iPod, not the full resolution photo, so nothing is getting "backed up".
You could simply copy the iPhoto folder to the iPod?
I would not recommend use the iPod as a backup for anything.
Get an external drive. 259GB drives are less than $100 and you can use it to make a complete bootable backup.

  • Canon IXUS 950 won't import large AVI files into iPhoto

    The new canon Ixus 950 IS wont import large (over 50mb) AVI files in iPhoto, why not?
    They sit on the SD card and then sometimes subsequent pics and video's don't upload.
    If there are say, 3 x 40mb files they dont upload either... After waiting ages the box pops up, unable to import.
    I can individually import the AVI files under 50mb
    I also note that the hard drive icon for the camera does not appear on the desktop or the finder so I could not 'drag' them in either...
    Any ideas?

    I have a similar problem with importing large AVIs from my Canon A610. iPhoto would import everything else (usually) except the large AVIs, which it claims is unreadable. In this particular case (~470MB file), it plays in QuickTime, I've resaved it using QT (still won't import) and converted it from MJPEG to Cinepak (still won't import). I'm now considering cutting the AVI up into smaller chunks and importing those... but any other options before that?
    Misc computer details: Main HD is 120GB with 30 for Boot Camp, 80 remains for Mac OS X, but the iPhoto Library is on an external HD (also 120GB, same model as internal HD except not SATA) formatted to FAT32. Would 10.4.11 make a difference here?

  • 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.

  • HT1296 itunes won't sync my audio files after I upgraded my iphone to i0S 6

    I upgraded my phone to iOS 6 for the new features and could no longer play (or find) my audio books.  The disk space usage indicated that the files were still there but the music player would not show or play them.  I try to sync to iTunes Library and it fails.  I upgraded my Mac OS and my iTunes versions to the current version and still no luck.  Incidentally I also notice that when I try to make a purchase of new audio files through iTunes directly from my iphone it also seems to hang up.  Occassionally after a couple reboots it may download but still shows my audio library as being empty. 
    Not sure where to go from here...any suggestions?

    OK, this is weird/interesting . . . just now, syncing my iPad, I noticed that under the Music tab there were no syncing options available, just a message that said "iTunes Matching is on." I'd turned it on yesterday, in the Settings, just messing around trying to troubleshoot the audio file sync issue.
    iTunes Matching didn't solve the problem, so I turned it off. Then resynced the iPad again from scratch. THIS TIME everything synced! Every single audio file, every playlist, everything.
    So that's odd, right?? I mean, I'm happy that it's working, but I'm not sure why it didn't work to begin with, nor why it's suddenly working now. So it's good, but a little unnerving . . .

  • ITunes won't sync my Calendar or Contacts with my new iPod

    I cannot get iTunes (V7.0.1) to Sync my Calendar and Contact info to my iPod. When I check the box and open the relevant item (ICal or Address Book) I am told that there are no items available to synchronise even though I can see them on my screen! I had started using my iPod by manually loading songs from iTunes and wondered if I needed to Sync anything else. However, having gone through the process of Synchronising my iTunes library between Mac and iPod, I was still unable to Sync Calendar and Address Book. I note that in the list beneath my iPod on the iTunes screen that there is no 'Contacts' folder although there are icons for 'Music', 'Movies' and 'TV Shows' and the usual 'My Top Played' etc. The iPod help pages are of no use as they tell me to do what I have already been doing without success. (I am advised that iSync is not used with later versions of iTunes.) Can anyone help?

  • ITunes won't add folder or file(s) to library.

    Okay, well this started off when an album in my library wouldn't play. I clicked on the songs in the album and none of them would play. So, I deleted the album. I went to File>Add Folder to Library... selected the folder that had the album, (Files and the album art) and nothing happened. I tried to open each individual song with iTunes but that didn't do anything either. Then I tried dragging and dropping, nothing. I also tried to make a new folder and move the files into that, and it still didn't work. It seems that this album is glitched or something.. The folder isn't read only or anything and it was fine before it started to not play. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    try repairing permissions and then try it again. usually when itunes starts messing up a quick permission repair fixes the problem for me

  • Itunes won't delete podcasts that I've played on my ipod, only itunes

    I have itunes setup to delete podcasts after its played and it works great. However, since I use my ipod more to play podcasts, I would also like Itunes to sync up with my ipod and delte podcasts that I've played on the ipod.
    Does anyone know how to set this up?

    Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

  • Imported .avi files into iPhoto 09 (8.12) but they can't be viewed.  What to do ?

    Found a discontinued camera (over eight years old( with built-in memory, similar to a GoPro.   Attached it via USB and it mounted as a drive.  Copied over both jpg and avi files, then imported into iPhoto 09.  From within iPhoto, the jpg's can be viewed of course, but the .avi files give the usual flag that Quicktime cannot read the avi.
    The .avi files can easy be viewed by VLC Player outside of iPhoto.
    Downloaded and installed Flip4Mac, but still iPhoto doesn't allow launching of the avi files from within iPhoto.
    Is this failure because the iPhoto needs to be updated ?  What can be done to view the avi files in iPhoto ?
    Thank you.

    Check to see what version of Quicktime Player you have installed on your Mac.  If it's later that V7 download and install version QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later and try again.
    Also you might try installing Perian.  Even though it's been discontinued it will work.

  • My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

    I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
    As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

  • I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    i purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • Updated to 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5s and now my phone is all out of whack. It won't sync the new playlists I added after the update though when it's plugged into iTunes it says it's synced. Help please!

    So I updated my iPhone 5s to version 7.0.6 yesterday, and now my iPhone music isn't working properly. It won't sync the playlists that I added after the update though when it's plugged in on iTunes it says that the music is synced. When I select a song in a playlist on the phone it shuffles through the playlists for like 3 seconds and picks a totally different song to play. I tried reinstalling iTunes, I tried restoring the iPhone, is it just a bug with the update? Nothing works. Any solutions are welcome.

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

  • My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

    Hi,
    Two problems here guys
    1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
    2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
    Somebody help please

    Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
    thanks

  • My ITunes won't sync my ipad and closes down in the middle. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. How do I fix this problem?

    My itunes won't sync my ipad and closes down in the middle of the attempted syn. I have windows 7 ultimate. Any ideas about what to do?

    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, attempt to sync with iTunes while logged in as a new admin user. Follow these steps to create a new administrator user within Windows:
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open User Accounts.
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
    Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
    Log in to the newly created user account.
    If the error does occur in the new user account, the issue may be caused by content downloaded or created on the device, such as podcasts and voice memos. Removing content from the device may address the issue.
    If the error does occur in the new user account, the issue may be caused by content downloaded or created on the device, such as podcasts and voice memos. Removing content from the device may address the issue.
    If these steps do not work at all, I would suggest calling AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 (assuming your iPad is stilll within support or has an AppleCare Protection Plan) and let them know you have already tried all troubleshooting steps per TS2830.
