Loading/watching a movie on ipod

I purchased a movie from the itunes store and then I made sure the movie was synced to my ipod. This work and the movie names appears on the ipod under movies. I select it and it goes to a black screen and the white icon appears and says it is loading. But then it goes back to the prior screen and shows the movie name and it is selected. I can't get the movie to load and play. Please help.

it is possible that although you bought the movie from itunes, that it did not fully download. try rigt-clicking on the movie in itunes and select update

Watching rented movie on iPod

I just downloaded a movie from the iTunes store to watch on my iPod but it will not load...there is an icon on iTunes that shows the movie is there and after I plugged in my iPod and made adjustments on the "movie" folder but the rented movie will not load into my iPod....any suggestions?

You can send an email here -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
and explain you have a 5th gen (though you can watch it in iTunes) and see if they will refund your money.
I've downloaded a few TV podcasts and they worked fine...
Rentals are a bit different than video podcasts or purchased movies/tv shows in that in that they expire and the required hardwae/firmware is not available on the older iPods.

Watch a movie on my iPod classic?

I have a movie on a DVD, and want to load it onto my iPod (classic) so that I can watch it on my iPod. Can I import this movie into iTunes and then synch it to my iPod, or load it in some/any other manner onto my iPod??? THANKS!

Just in case you're talking about a DVD of home movies or other video disks that have no licensing restrictions on them I'd like to point you to some software possibilities.
You could use DVD Fab which is a fully functional product and does full reading/conversion for you. If you go and buy it ensure you get the "mobile" option.
A free software product that is very good too is Handbrake. It will read the disk and convert it to any number of formats.
Both products have profiles you can use to have the media properly formatted for the screen size you'll be viewing them on.

How Do I Watch Movies From IPOD Video On My TV?

I have some movies on my ipod & i wanna hook it up to my projector to watch on the screen. The Projector has the Audio/Video Plugs, so whats some ways i can do this and what will i need to buy?
thx!

Well, pretty much all you need is an A/V cable. It's a cable that has what looks like a headphones jack at one end (except that it has 4 connectors instead of 3) and RCA cables at the other end (with the red, white, and yellow jacks). Sometimes this type of cable is called a camcorder cable. Here's a picture of one at The Source: http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&cat egory=CamcorderAccessories&product=1508373
Plug the headphones jack end into the iPod and the RCA jacks into the TV (yellow is video, red is right audio, and white is left audio). Then if you want to watch a movie or photos on the TV, go into the settings for either one of those and where it says TV Out, either set that to Ask or On. I always have it on Ask because then what it does is asks each time before I view a photo/video if I want to output to the TV or not. But, you will only see something on the TV if you are watching a photo/video; you will never see the menus etc on the TV.

I rented a movie (dark shadows) but I can not see it, because a message appear "Problem loading...try again later". Is not a problem connection. I tried a lot of times to watch the movie and I didn't can.

Will loading a movie to iPod really wipe out all audio files?

Hi folks:
In the midst of loading CD collection into Video iPod 80GB. Decided to load a DVD as well and received a warning message that "loading movie will delete all files".
Has anyone seen this? I can't imagine that Apple designed a product that is so un-user-friendly.
Any guidance would be appreciated. By the way, I just learned that I need to convert the DVD format to MP4 - but am reluctant to begin conversion process if loading a movie necessitates deleting all audio files.
Thanks.

I am by no means an expert but would think that you are just adding the "file", not the playable on and that would convert the iPod into a masstorage device WHICH then would deleate all the musicfiles on it. What you need to do is to download a program to tranform the video file in to a mp4 file and then put it into iTunes and Then load it onto the iPod, that worked for me.

Can I load a purchased movie from my Mac onto the iPod ?
Yes, if the iPod is a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod classic, iPod touch, or a third or fourth generation iPod nano, and the movie is in iTunes. A Fifth Generation iPod can't play rented movies.

I rented a movie on Apple TV rent now watch now ....it had to Own load which defeats the the purpose ..if I wanted to watch later I would have chose rent now watch later . So I was not able to watch the movie when I wanted to ...why did it sat rent anD

I rented a move in iTunes " rent and watch now not rent now watch later however the movie was not accessible to watch . It sort defeats the purpose of renting a movie etiquette watch right away .

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

HT1657 Rent a movie but I can not watch my movie on my iPod why is that

Why I can not watch my movie if I do not have problemes before watching movies

What Adobe Digital app on your iPad? If you are talking about a third-party app (like Bluefire Reader) you need to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and select Apps in the Sidebar. Scroll down to the File Sharing section, select the app you plan on using, select Add (bottom right), navigate to where the book is on your computer, select the book and sync your iPad.

Unable to load all MP4 movies located in iTunes

For some reason, I am no longer able to load all of my MP4 files to my iPod. They are all located in the iTunes video folder, but only about 18 randomly get loaded. Previously, I had over 24 MP4 files loaded, but since I have gone over that number, I can't even load that many anymore. I have ~20 GB of MP4 files, ~11 GB of MP3, and maybe 500 MB of photos that should be on my 60GB iPod. There is an additional 20+ GB of free space, so why won't they load? I reformatted the iPod, keeping it in version 1.0. I'm using iTunes 6.0.3.5.I reloaded iTunes and the library about a month ago. The only other quirky things that happens with it, is that it doesn't always shut down when I hold down the 'play/pause' button. Sometimes it takes 4-5 times to shut down. And, when its done updating, the only way to get rid of the 'do not disconnect' screen, is to shut the whole computer down. Does anyone have any suggestions? PLEASE

I have almost the same problem, I currently have 67 movies on my 30Gb. But there are 4 movies in my library that won't go, you can watch it start to load and then it locks up and skips on to the next one. I've reset it many times, and have the current version of itunes and in my ipod. I've ripped and converted the movies all the exact same way and don't understand why the 4 won't go. I convert them with a psp program, I thought about letting itunes do it but it takes so long and the rest of them work fine.
