Movie Thumbnails when syncing??

When I connect my iPod and try to select movies to sync, I have the option of syncing all/none/some movies. I have a lot of movies so I can't sync everything. When I try to sync only those that I select, iTunes creates thumbnails for EVERY movie/TV episode in my library. It takes up half my memory and "stalls" for nearly 20 minutes while it processes the thumbnails. Is there a way to disable this? Maybe by-pass this? I don't select individual movies but playlists/folders. Is there anyway around this? Anyone know if Apple is aware of this issue? I'd appreciate any ideas that someone might have. Thanks.

Do a Spotlight Search for movie on iPad.
1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.

When syncing iTunes with Apple TV (1st gen) some songs and movies will not sync..

I get the message that these songs and movies are not authorized to play on this computer. The computer is authorized and the songs and movies will play on the computer but will not sync to Apple TV
Any advice is aproeciated.

Thanks for the reply WC
Yes they do.
They origialnally played just fine. I moved my entire iTunes library to a new computer and now only 62 songs, out of over 2000, and two of four movies won't sync. All songs and movies are in same folders and same format.
I already selected "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
using iTunes 10.7 and OSX 10.8.2

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

Mpeg-4 movie shows up when synced but after ejecting ipod the file is gone

I downloaded and saved a 25-minute mpeg-4 movie. I opened itunes and successfully transferred the movie and then converted the file format. itunes shows that I have a folder called movies under library and also a music video folder. I've managed to get the movie to show up in both of these folders.
The problem is that neither of these folders are shown on my ipod and even after syncing there is now way for me to find the movie file. I'm not sure what to do since this is the first time i've tried to download/sync/watch a movie.
I have a color, 20g ipod.
thanks,
rob

I guess I do have the Ipod photo but there is a pre-installed folder on my ipod that is labeled music video - hmmm......
Also, I took some 15 minute videos with my nikon digital camera and they were stored on my computer as quicktime movies (.mov). When I transferred photos taken from the trip these movies transferred to my ipod and played perfectly. I didn't do anything or download any special software. So I assumed that this was a feature of my ipod.
Any other comments?

Error 69 when syncing the movie Twilight

I keep getting "unknown error occurred -69" when I try to sync the movie "Twilight" to my and my husbands nano's. I can sync other movies without this error. Is the movie corrupted, if so, how can I get a new one (yes, apple support that is a question directly for you) or is there a problem with both our Nano's? I appreciate the help!

Does the movie play in iTunes? If it's a corrupt file then you'd expect to have problems watching it as well as syncing it: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod

Movies not listed when syncing iPad

My movies do not appear in the Movies tab when I sync my iPad. I have no control over what movies to sync. It just asks if I want to sync All, or a drop down list of options. How do I fix this?

I am having a problem that iTunes says that the movies have sync'd, but when I try to open the movie on the iPad, it doesn't list any (as a matter of fact, it doesn't even list a "movie" tab in the video app).
If I do a reset of the iPad, they reappear. However, after another sync, they disappear again...along with music, purchases, and other items.
I have everything set to "manual" (as opposed to automatic sync...and, again, when I click on the iPad in iTunes, it shows everything on the iPad...they just don't seem to appear in the actual iPad.

Itunes crashes when syncing Ipad with mp4 movies in photo folder for keynotes

I'm trying to upload a small MP4 video onto my Ipad to use in Keynotes. I place the video in the photo folder and select sync, then tunes crashes.
I had created the video in Corel Video Studio pro 3 and created MP4 file. Copied to the IPAD and had it all working. I then made changes to the video and reconverted and now Itunes crashes when syncing.
Itunes 10.4.1.10 Ipad 4.3.5
Please help urgent

I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

My iPhone has a large amount of capacity used by other as shown in iTunes when sync. I can't determine where 4.3 GB of other is from. Even eliminating all of the categories of music, movies and the like it still uses 4.3 GB for other?

My iPhone has developed a large amount of "other" as shown on how the capacity is used when sync in iTunes. Even eliminating songs, ovies and all other sync items it still uses 4.3 GB of other. This is a relativily new development. How can I determine the cause and free up this capacity?

Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc. But is should be around 1 GB; 4.3 GB is an indication that something is corrupt and you will have to restore your phone to correct it.
Before restoring, be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or to a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) as contacts are not fully backed up in the iPhone backup. Once this is done, follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, being careful to back up your phone at step 6. At the end of the process your phone will restart and you will go through the setup screens; during this setup, when given the option choose to Restore from iTunes Backup and restore from the backup you made earlier. Then connect to iTunes and see how large "Other" is. If it's still that large, then the corrupt data was contained in the backup you restored from and you will have no choice except to repeat the process, but this time restore your phone as a new iPhone.

Im unable to play the movie that iv sync to my ipod touch. It says it has been sync but doesnt play when i click.

How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
- Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
Best iPod to PC
- After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

Glad to find this forum!
It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
Can anyone help?

What is "Other" when syncing iPod in iTunes

I've been having issues syncing my iPod with my system for a few days now and while syncing I clicked on my iPod and got the follwoing screen:
http://homepage.mac.com/techd2/iTunes.png
What exactly is "other" ? I figure it's temp files because it grows and shrinks while I'm syncing. I noticed it was over a gig when it stopped syncing my movies then when I deselected the movies it dropped down to the size it is now.
Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) PC Tech w/MAC @ Home

Hi Tech-D, sorry you're still having troubles man. I believe, not exactly sure, that other things like fragmentation is included in the "Other". Although, a fresh restore is supposed to take care of fragmentation. I don't believe you should even get fragmentation on your iPod unless you unplug your iPod from the usb without first ejecting it. If you have windows, you even have to go a step further and choose "Safely unplug usb device", or something like that. There would be an icon in your Systems Tray that looked like a little wafer with a green arrow on top of it. You would right click on that and choose to safely unplug. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help.

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.
