.mov and .mpeg4 videos will not sync with iphone4

I have tried getting some modest sized (<1GB) videos on to my iPhone4 using iTunes 9. I have tried both .mov and .mpeg4 formats which are supported in the tech specs. Using both sync, and manual management modes, I get the error:"MOVIE X was not copied to this iphone because it can not be played on this iphone."

The movies were recorded on a Kodak ZI8. On a whim I tried WVGA, HD720P (30), and 1080P (30). An 8 second WVGA was able to be transferred. The 780P and 1080P formats would not copy. The other projects I tried to copy over were compilations primarily WVGA, that although they showed up as .mov, I am guessing they carried along some artifacts of other formats (stills?).
The 720P should be supported although I can't honestly validate the "Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz" requirement. Greek to me.
I am a bit surprised that the state of the art Iphone is unable to handle videos that are easily uploaded to facebook. c-est la vie.
Thanks.

Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

Okay, here is the problem:
I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
Help!

I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
Help!!
Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)

Installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

ITunes will not sync with iPhone4

Hello all,
I have an iPhone4 and I've Windows . Both iTunes and the phone are up to date. The last few weeks I can't get the phone to sync with iTunes. When it gets to stage 4 of 4, determining tracks to sync it freezes. At this stage I've reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, restarted the PC and phone countless times. I also (based on online help) unticked the songs box so when I synced it removed all the music from the phone. Then it would not sync anything back on. I have ran the self check in iTunes help and everything seems fine.
I can't find any other info online and I'm fit to explode in frustration now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated before I sign myself in.
Conor

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

Playlists disappeared, and now ipods will not sync with itunes

One day while my itunes was playing music, it all of a sudden froze, so I eventually had to restart my computer (macbook pro). When I relaunched itunes, all my music was gone. It started adding back all my files (including songs I had deleted a while back), but all my playlists are gone. Today I plugged in my ipod to sync music, hoping that I could also somehow bring the playlists on my ipod back to itunes, but a window popped up and said that the ipod was synced with a different itunes and I either have to erase all ipod contents and sync with new itunes, or cancel.
Has anyone had this problem? Any advice on how to get playlists back or do I just need to now erase all contents on my ipods/ iphone and sync with this new itunes?

ICloud Photos will not sync with iPhone4s

So, I just left the Genius bar where we needed to a due a full reset of my iPhone4s.
Before the hard reset of my phone, I had 318 photos on my iPhone photostream and 319 in camera and all were backed up to iCloud. Due to numerous reasons, Apple does not want me to restore my phone settings from the back-up version saved on my computer, so I must recreate the best I can.
The biggest issue I am having is, we checked to make sure I back up to icloud before we did a full reset of the phone. After the reset and at the Genius bar, we checked to make sure the photos were starting to download. However, only 39 photos downloaded. And now I can't get the remaining photos to sync from iCloud.
I think what happened is the phone was plugged in to the airbook for the reset, we saw photos downloading (and thought, phew that worked) unplugged the phone to complete the rest of the phone set up. And some how they stopped downloading mid stream.
If you go to iCloud back-up option it's scary...states it will DELETE all photos from iCloud and back-up with what is on your phone. In my case, I need what's in iCloud to my phone.
If no-one has a suggestion, I am going to restore my phone to my 'bad' back-up, make sure they are saved on a hard drive, and then go back to the genius bar for a full reset.
PS: Why can't I see my photos in iCloud???

Again, thank you for the replies. Here is the update to my situation.
After your suggestions, I did a complete restore to my iPhone4s from the backup version saved on my computer harddrive. It only yielded 295 photos.   I was able to download the photos from the back-up to my computer hardrive, so I know they are safe!! Then I called Apple and asked how do I get the 39 photos hijacked in iCloud to stream to my phone. And I was told if I was very patient, they would download to my phone overnight. And in the morning all of the photos would be there. Patience, not my strong point, but for the sake of my photos I was!
Any bets to if they are on the phone or not????
Well they are not, so I quickly learned, that another issue unbeknownst to me, is iCloud has not been working...whether this is a software, carrier or other issue, who knows. Its not working. And the 295 photos in my phone right now will not stream to iCloud!   The only photos being sent to iCloud are those from the last hard reset made in July (39 photos).
So I called Apple again, they are most, most, most confident the 37 (I deleted two yesterday) will download to my phone after I reset and establish my iPhone as new. I told the only way to delete photos from iCloud is do press the setting in the iCloud app online.
It really stinks that the 295 on my phone will not stream to iCloud. I guess in the grand scheme it appears I'll have all of my photos, but they will never be joined together in iCloud or on my iPhone.
I'll do a reset tonight and see if I can't the 37 iCloud photos to stream.
Please learn from my lesson. iCloud / photostream doesn't always work. Complete frequent hard back-ups of your phone so this too doesn't happen to you.
BTW - The Apple Genius/Supervior I spoke to gave me her contact information (email and voicemail) to contact her directly if I have any other issues. Wow, that's amazing!
