Loading videos to my itouch from itunes

loaded a video, movie to my itunes, its in mpeg 4 format but cannot get it on my itouch....what am i missing ?

Hey I found this link
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1766440&tstart=120
Apparently the person wrote about the video format that is supported by ipod touch. I realised I converted my movie/video to beyond the supported size of 640 by 480 pixels so now I'm tryin to re-convert my movie to that of the supported size. I don't know if its helpful since I don't know if iTunes is supposed to help you to 'resize' ur video etc.
If upon reconversion to the right size and my video works, I'd post here again. (:
Happy new year.

  • How do I load movies into my ipad from itunes?

    I'm trying to load movies onto my ipad from itunes, I've already synced my ipad with all the current songs and the movies, but I go to videos on my ipad and do not see it.  So I go to itunes, hit movies and still see nothing but movies for purchase only.  I'm going on a trip on Wednesday and would love to sync all my mp4 movies into my ipad but can't find them on my ipad, can anyone give me some advice?  I've been searching the forums, but nothing seems to work for me.  Appreciate it guys.

    I wouldn't bother with Wondershare. While iSkySoft has some excellent products (e.g. FreeSync), their video converters are generally (sometimes far) slower than HandBrake (check out the benchmarks at http://www.macworld.com/article/1150757/dvdripping_roundup.html and http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps if you want to see some figures). And vastly overpriced, while HandBrake is free and so is its batch companion. Finally, it's really a one-second drag-and-drop to drop the files it creates into iTunes.

  • When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

    When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine".  The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv.  The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since.  All my other downloaded films play.  I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7.  Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
    - itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
    - starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
    Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

  • How can i get rid of music or videos that i purchased from iTunes but dont want anymore. When i delete them they always come back in my downloads available?

    How can i get rid of music or videos that i purchased from iTunes but dont want anymore. When i delete them they always come back in my downloads available?

    thanks. somehow after restoring it, ipod on my phone had another option to download them onto my phone (even though they would play so no idea) but then it allowed me to swipe the songs to delete them so they are finally gone from my phone!!!

  • I am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

    They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
    i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Airplay won't show video of movie downloaded from itunes, only sound

    i just got a new ipad mini. upgraded the OS. downloaded movie from itunes. video won't play on the tv, just the sound plays on the tv.
    my other ipad is not having this problem.  The  IOS of the ipad has not been updated.
    The appletv did just do any update this morning (in between me testing my ipad mini) and still didn't fix it.
    any ideas? I still have 13 days to return this mini and get a regular one. any advice is appreciated.

    Hello mizgeministarz,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I only have a few suggestions for you, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least try. Have you tried accessing these TV shows outside the playlist they reside in? Just access them from the main list of TV Shows if at all possible or if that isn't what you are doing currently.
    It might not hurt to also try to restore the iPod and start from scratch allowing fresh copies of the TV Shows to sync over to your iPod. There may have been a syncing issue that corrupted your TV Shows. If that isn't the case, your iPod is having trouble with the video playback.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I try to play purchased videos on my ipad from iTunes, I get a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...

    When I try to play a video on my iPad that I purchased from iTunes, I keep getting a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...why?

    I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

  • Purchased music off iTouch from iTunes... Disappeared?

    I just recently reset my iTouch and erased everything on it to restore it and fix all of my music information (albums, titles, etc...) because everything was scrambled and uncategorized and what not... I have purchased music from iTunes using my iTouch and now all of those songs I bought are gone. I understand that purchasing the music directly from the iTouch downloads the songs onto the iTouch harddrive so they obviously got erased when I reset it. I figured theres got to be a way to get my songs I bought back from iTunes but I have no idea what to do??? If anyone has had this problem or can help me out I would really appreciate any help at all! Thanks alot.

    go to your account in the itunes store, you should find your purchase history there. next to the songs you have purchased there should be a 'report problem' button, which will allow you to contact apple. they normally respond pretty quickly saying that your purchases will be available to download next time you log in to itunes.

  • How to transfer video/movie to ipod from iTunes?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have got my new iPod Touch 4G.  I succesfully transfered songs/apps from iTunes to my iPod Touch. But I don't know how to transfer video/movie to my iPod. I can't add a movie/video clip to iTunes ( File-> Add file to Library).
    Is there any video format conversion required?
    Thanks
    Siva

    Hi,
    You are right! I just converted my videos/movies into MP4 format using HandBrake and it works!
    Thanks

  • HT204291 I can play videos from youtube and it does just fine, but when I try to play videos i've bought from itunes in my "videos", it plays the sound but no video.  Please advise,,,

    Using airplay, with Iphone5 latest os, appletv3, I can play videos from youtube and internet just fine, but when I try to play videos bought from Itunes in my "videos" file, it only plays sound, no video.  Please advise,,,

    I am also having this issue.  Hear but not see. I am using the iTunes video app on my iPad to play a show I bought on iTunes.   A little pop up box comes up on the lower left of my tv showing the show , I can hear it but not see it.  Rebooted Apple TV and iPad. No help.  

  • Apple TV streaming videos but not music from iTunes

    My ATV (latest updates) will stream video (and audio from that video) from my itunes on my MacBook Pro, but no music from the music section of itunes. I'm not on a VPN or anything.  I can see the ATV option from itunes and I can select it for a split second, but then it defaults back to the computer speakers with no sound ever going to ATV.  My ipad and iphone stream perfectly well to my AppleTV.  My accounts and home sharing are all set up OK. Music is currently checked and playing on Mac. Why will it stream video (and the audio that is with the video), but no songs?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    If your ATV is connected by wi-fi, switch it to an Ethernet cable and see if that solves the problem. If the wi-fi NIC is failing it will start dropping the network connection at random and that will cause it to drop out of iTunes.
