Movie playback prob on ipod

I have a 5g 60GB ipod. When trying to play a movie from itunes, it will freeze at a point in the movie - either temporarily, i.e. it will start again at that same point, or will restart the movie. The ipod works fine for TV shows, music, etc. this only seems to happen when watching a movie.
I have done the soft reset ofthe ipod, but have not yet completely wiped and reloaded the ipod.
Any ideas other than that?

Well a restore would be the next step.
Do the movies play ok in iTunes?
These are movies purchased from the iTunes store? If so, it's possible you may have a corrupted download. You can contact the customer support by clicking on 'help' in iTunes.

  • Movie Playback on the iPod

    I've converted the movies to play on the iPod. When I select a movie to play on the iPod, I only get a small picture of the first frame in the upper left side and the cursor on the bottom moves like it is playing. How can I view the movies full screen on the iPod?

    I'm pretty sure that you have your iPod set to play on the tv. Go into video settings - Main menu\Videos\Video Settings and change "Tv Out" to ask, that way you'll be asked everytime you go to play one, that way you can be sure to get it in the right mode.

  • MOVIES NOT COPYING TO IPOD

    this product is really disappointing me, since this is the third major problem i've had with the video nano...
    anyway, i have movies in .mp4 format, and they copy to my iTunes library but they don't go onto my iPod. it says "this movie was not copied to your iPod because the video file is not supported." but .mp4 is supported, right?
    HELP! thanks in advance!

    You need to make sure the files conform to the specifications for playback on your iPod. If you have a movie in your iTunes library then select the file, choose advanced and choose convert for iPod. The specifications for compatible video files are listed on the product page. If you use your own converter make sure it can add the necessary data for iTunes to accept the file as compatible. Otherwise use something like VisualHub or Handbrake to do the conversion.

  • Moving Rented movies from computer to ipod

    I need some help. I have a one year old ipod classic.
    I cannot seem to move rented movies from my computer to my ipod.
    When I plug my ipod to my computer and hit the movie tap, I do not see the movie.
    The move is showing on my computer, but it does not give me a choice to move it to my ipod, like I have seen on other help sites.
    Do I need to turn something on my ipod?
    I have loaded TV shows to the ipod and watched them, but I cannot move the rented movies.
    I checked to see if I have the updated software, and I do.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The iPod you have (incidentally, the same one I have) can essentially watch TV shows, Movies, and Music Videos, but no rental movies. I was met with the same disappointment when I discovered I cannot put rented movies onto my iPod. It is sort of a shame, as I'm not entirely convinced there's a hardware element missing from my iPod preventing this from being supported.
    Sorry I didn't have better news for you. You might want to consider emailing iTunes Store support and seeing if there's some way they can compensate for this, as the file purchased is not compatible with your device. Since the files are set to disappear after a certain amount of time within beginning playback, I'm almost sure they'd be able to determine whether you've viewed the movie yet.

  • Movies not playing on Ipod Touch

    I purchased a movie directly from the Ipod. The download was successful but every time I try to watch the movie it says "This movie cannot be played" this is the first time I ever tried to watch a movie on it. Please help!

    i downloaded a tv episode yesterday (it was free, only reason i did it - normally they're way too expensive & i'd rather buy the dvd instead)
    this happened, it wouldn't play until i'd synced it and reloaded the tv ep onto my ipod.

  • Can i move songs from my iPod to my new matchbook air?

    I bought a brand new mackbook air and i had trouble on the migration assisstant because the verification window wouldnt show up on my old dell. I would now like to know if i am able to move songs from my ipod to my new mac without having to use migration assisstant. Please help me! Thanks!

    one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.

  • I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library.  How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • How do I manging multiple copies of movies for AppleTV and iPod in iTunes?

    I do not have an AppleTV yet, but I am considering getting one. I was wondering how those who have both an iPod and ATV manage the syncing of Movies that may have different resolutions?
    If I want to have the same movie on ATV and my iPod I would need two copies in iTunes at different resolutions, correct? At least when I look at the iTunes export in iMovie it shows I can have a higher resolution for the ATV than the iPod.
    So, how do you manage the auto syncing of these multiple copies so that they aren't all copied to both devices? iTunes doesn't have good Movie management as far as sub-folders, etc. I would like iTunes to treat these copies as one movie and only sync the appropriate resolution for the device.
    I also notice that multiple copies then show up in FrontRow as well. It would be nice if only the highest resolution would show up.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just create 2 different playlists like
    Movie-ATV
    Movie-iPod
    Put those video files with higher resolution on playlist Movie-ATV
    Put those video files with lower resolution on playlist Movie-iPod
    in iTunes Preferences choose your ATV only to sync the 1st movie playlist - and your iPod only to sync the 2nd one.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Video podcasts have jerky playback on my iPod nano 4G

    I've been enjoying Good Game video podcasts on my 4G iPod nano for several months:
    http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/
    About a month ago, the videos started stuttering badly every few seconds.
    I asked ABC TV is they changed something about how they encode the videos, and they say they haven't.
    Is it possible that one of the iTunes updates has changed video playback so my iPod nano can no longer cope with decoding the video stream?
    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?
    Cheers,
    m.

    Have you reconnected your iPod since listening to the podcasts in question? If not, then you need to do that so that the iPod can update. The podcasts won't delete from the iPod itself after you listen to them until it is updated. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

    how do i move music from my ipod to my iphone

    No Apple supported way, they do not allow music out of the iPod for copyright reasons, but there are several programs you can run on your PC to copy the iPod contents to the PC.  Check on the iLounge site for a lot of helpful information and links to the software you will need.
