Movies Will Not Transfer

Hi! First of all, let me say that I have had movies on my iPhone before, so I know that it works correctly with the method I use.
However, right now, I have two movies that will not transfer. They are encoded correctly, and I get no error messages. Also, the iPhone is set to sync these movies in the Video tab of the iPhone Summary Screen.
When I sync, everything else syncs, just not these two videos. I get no error messages. In addition, when I add a new song, iTunes will say that it is copying "1 of 1" (so it thinks that these songs are already on the phone perhaps?).
The bar on the bottom of the iPhone Summary Screen shows that the movies have not been transferred.
Any ideas? I have already tried Restoring my iPhone.
Thanks!

Since you've already reset and restored your phone, the next step is to turn off automatic syncing. Then turn off all syncing options except for movies, and only sync one of those movies and see what happens.
Make sure you set all other sync options off, though -- we don't want it to try a sync with anything other than that one movie (and thus your phone memory should essentially be empty). Let us know what happens.

HT203180 Apple/ITunes, needs to let people know BEFOREhand that HD movies WILL NOT transfer to iPods. Purchase ONLY SD, NOT HD if you want to transfer them! What a pain to find this out AFTER purchasing 11 movies in HD!

Itunes movies in HD will NOT transfer to IPODS. Apple/Ipod need to make customers aware of this little "glitch" before they purchase HD movies, not after purchasing 11 of them and not being able to transfer them. Watching on the computer is not my first choice!

I am not sure if this will help - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209.

Rented movies will not transfer to ipad3

I cannot transfer rented iTunes movie to ipad3. rented two kovies - one transfers but will not open; other gets warning msage that computer is not authorized, even though I have authorized. thank you

I had a very similar problem. I had rented movies (more than one) and none would transfer to an iPhone. The movie or movies would appear to completely transfer, then I would get a message saying that the transfer had failed because "the movies had already been transferred to a different device". That wasn't true, and it's kind of ridiculous since once you transfer a rented movie to an iPod or iPhone it disappears from iTunes on the computer, ie it's not available to try to transfer a second time.
HOWEVER, I think I FOUND THE PROBLEM. You say you were connected to the internet and your account was authorised in the iTunes store. BUT, was your COMPUTER authorised? It appears to be possible to authorise to your iTunes Music Store account from a computer than is not currently authorised. That was probably my problem. We'd swapped out a laptop a couple days ago, and had to "deauthorise all" the computers on our account. I had not yet reauthorised my desktop computer, and that's where the rented movies were sitting. As soon as I did authorise that computer the rental transfers proceeded normally.
There's a bug or flaw in iTunes, though, because when the transfer fails iTunes shows that totally bogus :already transferred" error and provides no clue that the computer is not authorised and that that is the actual problem.

Rented movie will not transfer back to my computer

I've just rented my first iTunes rental movie. It all worked seamlessly transferring the movie to my iPhone and watching it on my TV, but now I want to transfer back to my MacBook. I've still got about 24 hours left before the movie expires.
Trouble is when I try to transfer the movie back to my computer using iTunes, I get a message "! You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. ... Check the permissions on your Music folder and folders in your Music folder, then try copying again."
I've done all of this - absolutely every folder has "Read and Write" access and still I can't transfer.
Any ideas?

Is your Macbook connected to the internet? You must be connected to the internet to transfer rented movies.

Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards john

Hello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

Try outputting it as a MP4 or M4V
If Final Cut won't output it, Mpegstreamclip will convert it. So will Quicktime if you have the pro version.

Ipad will not transfer movies from itunes: error is video format not supported

Recently itunes will not transfer movies I have purchased from itunes. I can still tranfer older movies, but the two latest purchased will not synch, it says the video format is not supported. it seems odd that APPLE movies from APPLE itunes will not play on my APPLE ipad. APPLE support was no help at all. I have retored the ipad and updated the software to the most recent version and nothing has worked.

I am having same problem with iPad and 3GS phones. Did you figure out how to do it?

Rented movies showing up twice in iTunes and will not transfer to my iPad 2 because "already transfered to another computer or device."

Rented movies show up twice in iTunes and will not transfer to my iPad 2 because "already transfered to another computer or device." Ideas on how to enable movie sync?

My understanding is that rented movies can be viewed on only one device - the device that originally received the movie. Consequently, they can not be synced.
I can not explain why you see them twice in iTunes.

I rented movies on my home laptop and it will not transfer to my ipad

I rented 2 movies on my home pc and am trying to transfer them to my ipad for travel. It will not transfer either movie. This happened last year and a very nice man helped me remove them from my itunes accoutn and transfer them directly to my ipad. How do I get access to the 2 movies that I rented?

Have you tried to download it on the iOS from the iOS yet instead of syncing?

Trying to create a new playlist but several songs are marked with exclamation mark and will not transfer into playlist - any advice?

I have never had trouble creating playlists before but quite a few songs will not transfer and ate marked at the side with an exclamation mark. I know ZERO about technology so if you can help me in very simple language, I would be very grateful! I am wondering if it may have something to do with the fact that I have had to start new accounts when I have moved countries, on order to be able to use the credit card of the new country in the Itunes store of that country... I am in Aus and have bought a lot of tunes here but last year I was living in Brunei and, in order to use my brunei credit card ( as it was the only one with money in it) , I had to set it up as different to my Aus account. Could this be the issue? prior to Aus my account was in Ireland. I have paid for all these songs but it seems I cannot now use some of them... Please help!!! Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer, Lisa

The exclamation mark next to a song means it is no longer where iTunes is looking for it. iTunes won't let you add such "missing" songs to a playlist. Possible reasons for a song going missing are that you or some third party software has moved or deleted it, or a folder that contained it, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter, or a configuration file has changed making iTunes look in a slightly different place from before.
Select one of the songs with an exclamation mark, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when prompted to locate it, then note down the location from the Summary tab that begins file://localhost/ - please post back this path as given. Hopefully you can find the file this entry in your library is supposed to be connected to. Assuming you can please post back this path as well. These two items of information may suggest a fix through folder manipulation or a configuration change.
If things have got a little more disorganized then, as long as the tracks still exist to be found, my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Start by selecting the tracks of a single album and then run the script. Your media folder should normally be detected automatically, e.g. as C:\Users\<User>\iTunes\iTunes Media, but you can edit the path if it is wrong or a particular batch of lost files are stored at another path. If it works as expected you can then move on to fixing the rest of the library in bigger batches.

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone in any playlists, what is wrong?

I don't know what happened. I plugged in the phone today (like I have done just about every day) to sync and charge and the movie transferred this time. I have no idea what changed between now and last night. I haven't even rebooted either the phone or computer. Go figure. As Gilda Radner once famously said on SNL as Rosanne Rosanadana, "Nevermind".

I have iCloud successfully set up my Mac and iPhone iPad. Mac will not transfer to my other devices. Other devices transfer successfully. I have checked my iCloud setting on my Mac, but cannot see a problem. Can you help me?

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My new HD movie will not play on my itouch

my new HD movie will not play on my itouch

Maybe:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
or
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Only the 4G and 5G iPod can play HD
Was the move purchased from iTunes?

Movies will not sync back to iphone

I recently purchased movies on my iphone4 and before I upgraded the software I transfered purchases to my mac. After the phone went through the upgrade and restored all my information to my phone, all of the recent movies I purchased on the phone would say "url error" when I tried to play them. I deleted them from the phone and tried to re sync from my computer. They will not transfer. I can see them and play them on my mac, but they will not transfer to the phone
Thanks for any help!!

Nothing? Nothing at all?

I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES. They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store. They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone. (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!) Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.
