ITunes wont sync videos to ipod

Ok, ive read the whole guide on the net on how to get stuff from the itunes to ipod...ive even managed to get all my songs into the ipod no problems...
but I cant get any videos to go...they are in iTunes just fine, iTunes seemed to convert anything that wasnt normal to a format it liked, and I get to the click yes point where it asks, are you sure you would like to sync your movies, you will lose all existing content etc... and I click OK, and then it gives me the, iTunes is updating the ipod, and then about 3 seconds later its done.
I eject, and have no videos on the ipod...im trying to get over 10 files into the ipod so theres no way it would take only 3 seconds.
Whats going on?

If I had, it would only be because some guy on here posted a solution. Im not going to try again without help. Silly software...

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

    My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists.  She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2.  The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes.  When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked.  I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to  the ipod touch.  It said:
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
         Waiting for sync to start
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
         Preparing to sync
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
       Waiting for changes to be applied
       Preparing to copy items
    Then nothing.  I can sync again but it just does the same thing.  One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by.  I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said.  The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch.  She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them.  The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work.  I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated.  Still no copy.  She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
    Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo.  Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

    What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Wont sync videos to ipod.

    Now i hope the answer to this is obvious and makes me look dumb,keep in mind ive never had an ipod that could play videos before, just the 1st gen nano, now i have an 80g classic. When trying to sync videos to my iPod it just says syncing, then syncing complete, but it shows no movies under the file or on my iPod. Ive tried auto syncing them and dragging them, it doesn't give me and error message, just says it completes and does nothing,
    Thanks

    It is currently two Simpsons episodes i forget where i got, i believe they were downloaded, I know it should be TV shows but it shows them under movies. They work fine when i watch them on Quicktime, Windows media player, or when i watch them on itunes.

  • ITunes wont sync pics to ipod!

    For some reason, my iTunes will no longer sync pictures from iPhoto to my iPod Touch 1. gen.
    I tell it to sync the five last photo albums, but during sync I get a error message saying that the archives I'm trying to synchronize do not exist (well, it says something like that, in Danish).
    I can only get it to sync my last photoalbum - anything more than that and I get the error message...
    Any ideas regarding a possible cause/solution to this problem?
    thanks

    I can sync from finder folders, no problem...

  • Itunes wont sync apps to ipod touch

    I bought a second gen iPod touch last Christmas for my son, and loaded it up with the preschool apps from my iPhone with no problem. However, after the initial installation, I have not been able to get any apps to sync from iTunes to the iPod. The apps tab shows the "Sync apps" box checked, but the whole page is grayed out and won't let me select or deselect any apps. Now, it also will not transfer purchases I have made from the iPod back to iTunes. I am running the 3.1.3 version of the iPod software, and all of the apps are iPod and iPhone compatible. All restrictions on the iPod have been disabled. Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. See also
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11335706#11335706.
    My iPod software is up to date, as is the mac OS (leopard), and I bought one new app (having checked its specs) and the app sync page in iTunes is grayed out. I tried deleting a couple of free apps -- a suggestion on another thread for a different problem -- no change. I tried deleting this app and re-downloading it.
    I haven't tried buying an app on the iPod to see if it will transfer to iTunes; have only purchased on computer and attempted to sync. Music is fine.
    Ideas, anyone?
    thanks...

  • Itunes wont sync music to ipod

    i had an itunes library created and then we reformated the hardrive and had to re-install itunes and all my music was gone. i got some more music but every time i try to sync it to my ipod it says that ive got to "erase and sync library" because you cant have more than one library per device.. does anyone know how to fix this problem without erasing my entire ipod so i can keep everything on there and get my new music synced?

    It's becuase the old itunes database file got erased when your PC got wiped.

  • My iTunes wont sync with my iPod classic

    "posted in iTunes discussion as well as im not sure if its a problem with iTunes or my iPod*
    A few days ago my iTunes wiped my whole library except my purchases from the iTunes store.
    Luckily i was able to recover my library by using a old library file but ever since then i've not been able to sync my iPod
    When i connect my iPod the iTunes and anything else that is running on my computer goes real slow and i've tried reinstalling iTuns and restoring my iPod but it's still happening.
    When my iPod comes up on iTunes after a while it says "can't be synced.the required folder cannot be found".
    it's also coming up with "attempting to copy to the disk IPOD Ipo" failed.this disk could not be read from or written to."
    any ideas how to fix this?

    still having this problem,any help please?

  • Itunes Wont Load videos onto Ipod

    hi, i currently have a 60GB ipod video, and now itunes is refusing to load any videos onto my ipod, i tried so many different programs to convert video, eg videora, PQ DVD, and Replay converter etc.
    and i get the same error, it says video was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod.
    is there a way to load videos without using Itunes? or can i force itunes to load the videos?
    any help would be appreciated...
    thanx ^_^

    "All my songs are listed on the IPOD but are faded where they are in regular font in my library"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists".
    Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. This will give you a fresh installation and allow you to start over: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • Itunes wont sync songs to ipod - didnt have this problem when i had xp

    this is the message i get -
    Attempting to copy to the disk 'RYAN'S IPOD' failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation
    iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again.
    i keep getting this after i go and check the permissions and make sure everything is the way it should be... i didnt have this problem before upgrading to vista
    toshiba   Windows Vista  
    toshiba   Windows Vista  

    I'm not sure if this will do anything, but maybe you could find the iTunes Music folder, right click - properties, and unchecked read only if it's checked.

  • My itunes wont sync with my ipod touch, it comes up with the message -42404

    can someone help please? when i open uo my itunes the message :
    'A required itunes component is not installed. Please re-install itunes (-42404)'
    is shown and i have uninstalled itunes 2 times and re installed it and its still doing the same thing!
    Please if someone could help that would be great x

    Maybe:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
