M4V wont sync with my ipod

a few months ago, I made a video in iMovie 9.0.4 then i converted it to an M4V file so i could use it on my ipod touch. when I tried to sync it to my ipod, itunes rejected it in the sync. last month, I got a nexus 7. as a test, I loaded my movie to it, and was able to play it back just fine. why won't itunes allow it to be installed on my ipod?

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Seems like the format is not compatible wit the iPod.

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

    im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • 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?

  • I bought the new Sims Pool game but it wont Sync with my iPod

    I have bought many games for my iPod in the past and never had a problem, but for some reason when I try to sync my iPod it says "iTunes could not sync the game "The Sims Pool" to the iPod "My iPod" because an error occurred (-50)" I've tried this on two different computers with two different iPods. My personal guess is the game was corrupted or something during the download, is there anyway to redownload something you have purchased? (Already tried Check For Purchases) Or is that not my problem?

    Perhaps this will help with your game problem:
    Troubleshooting iPod Games
    If not, contact the iTunes Store customer service department using the form at the bottom of the Games FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

    You will not see a Purchased playlist the iPod unless you create a new playlist.
    The one just below iTunes store does not get transferred over, even if you transfer everything. The songs will get transferred, just not the playlist.

  • Some of my songs in iTunes wont Sync with my iPod, Why?

    And what can I do to get them all on there?

    What format are they and what iPod are you using? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supportted on the 2nd generation shuffle:

  • 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.

  • My ipod wont sync with my computer after i have reset it all?

    I have reset my iPod touch and it wont sync with my iTunes at all and also my iTunes store wont work, a message is showing up saying connect with internet when my internet is already connected?

    Is the iPod sign into the account?
    Just what are you doing when you get the message?
    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

  • I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.
