Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

Hey all.
I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

    My pc only recognises my iPad 2 as a camera won't sync in iTunes please help

    I take it that it is through Wiindows Explorer you are able to track the iPad as an external device?
    Disconnect your iPad and try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
    Also, try a different USB port on your PC, a few times if necessary.

  • Itunes for windows 7 won't load?? Please Help

    I've tried loading iTunes after restarts and re-installations but for some reason it won't load. I've never had this problem before and can't seem to solve it.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    FIXED IT!!!
    None of these suggestions worked for me. I've started fresh by re-installing iTunes and then holding the shift button whilst loading it. This enables you to pick a new library and from this, it works!!
    A bit of a faf because now i have to get all the info off my phone and in to iTunes but at least it opens now!!
    Boom! ha, I came for help from the apple geeks and it turns out I'm the geek!!

  • My account won't load...PLEASE HELP

    Please help. I have a brother that hacked into my account and reset my password to nothing. My account is the administrative account but i also have one standard account on my pb. Anyways, now when i go to login to admin, it seems as its logging in but all i really get is one of the blue apple display pictures and the cursor. Nothing else appears, not even my normal display picture.
    But when i do log onto the other standard account on my pb, everything appears fine.
    My admin account won't load, is there anything i can do? Is there a way i can retrieve my files on my desktop(admin) from the standard account? I've tried resetting my password using the apple installation cd, but to no avail.
    PLEASE HELP..it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    If you wish to retrieve all of the admin data from the Users folder, you will have to log in as the root user and then change the permissions of all the admin data. Then, you can delete the User from Accounts in System Preferences. After you have obtained the data from the Admin (with another user as the owner of all) and have successfully deleted the admin account, you can create a new admin account and then transfer all of the data back.
    I am not exactly sure why the account does not load, but creating a new one will solve this issue.

  • Movies won't load onto new Touch

    Made a "home movie" in iMovie and moved it over to iTunes. Works fine there. Son wants to put it on his new Touch and when I go to move it it gives error message and says movie won't play on this iPod. ??? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help, someday we'll get this and not have to ask a billion questions.

    select the file in iTunes. from the advanced menu choose to +create iPod or iPhone version+. try syncing the newly created file to the device.
    any help ?

  • Session won't load - ERROR MESSAGE- Please help decipher

    For no apparent reason, when I opened my session I got an Adobe ERROR MESSAGE. Then the session won't load and Audition crashes.
    Here is the message:
    (A big Red X appears in the dialog window)
    Audition has encountered an error.
    [\Monk\main\common\PremiereShell\Src\PlayerFactory.cpp-379]
    Can anyone think of a way I can fix this situation and recover my session? Do you think a reinstall of Audition might help? Other sessions open fine. This session was particularly important because I had been working on it for weeks and this was the final finished version. It had been like pulling teeth to get this one done, then when I finally did get it done...this happened. So yuck!! Fortunately I had done a mixdown before the crash, small blessing. But I need the session, of course.
    Thanks for any ideas at all.

    right...because the xml is basically a delimited text file. This kind of file would probably rarely ever get corrupted.
    ROFLMAO! Who told you that?
    It'a a FILE, for heavens' sake. And to any computer, all files are essentially the same thing - a string of bytes. What makes a file vulnerable or less vulnerable is how it's handled by whatever program is using it, or to a lesser extent the storage mechanism. And when it comes to .xml files and Adobe, they don't have a particularly good track record with some of them - notably the ones they use for system settings and presets.
    But I have to say that since Adobe thoughtfully gave us the option to save session data as .xml files, I haven't bothered to save them as anything else - simply because as Suite Spot says, you stand some sort of microscopic chance of being able to rescue the data when all else fails. I am fortunate - most of the stuff I do in MV doesn't use a load of tracks and absolutely no effects (live acoustic music editing), but even though the files aren't that complex, I still back them up regularly during processing because, as they regularly get rewritten and updated, they most certainly are vulnerable.

  • HT1695 i've recently got an iphone, and i did the starting questions i've connected to the wifi, but i won't activate. it also won't connect to itunes, please help

    i got an iphone the other day and when i started it up i answered the language questions and i've connected it to the wifi. just when i click next it wont activate, it's unable to connect to itunes as well, please help me

    First things first, You need to update your wifi security settings.  If its set at WEP, then change to WAP2.  If its already set that way, then you need to make sure iTunes is up to date on your computer, then update your software.

  • Ipod photo won't mount to itunes - please help me!  i'm desperate!

    Hey everyone,
    Thanks in advance to whomever reads this and answers... I've been fighting with my ipod for over 12hrs now (over 3 days) and am VERY frustrated!
    here are my details:
    20 gig ipod photo
    Windows XP
    itunes 7
    Problem:
    itunes told me it needed to be restored. So, I went through the process, but when I plugged it back into the computer (after plugging it into the wall socket), I found that it won't mount in itunes! BUT, I can see it in Windows explorer.
    Have tried:
    - changing disk drive
    - uninstall, reinstall, reinstalling from CD (with old version)
    - restore (when it was coming up in itunes)
    - different usb ports
    - fiddling with resets and disk mode
    Things to note:
    - in Windows Explorer it now comes up as IPOD instead of VANESSA'S IPOD. I don't know why!
    - when I plug it into the computer it seems completely happy - it's charged, is flashing the do not disconnect... everything normal! And, when it's not plugged in, I'm able to browse through the menus like normal - the only problem really appears to be that itunes won't recognise it.
    I kind of feel like I've been trying a lot of different things, and maybe not in the right order? It feels like something really small that I'm missing...
    If you have any ideas or suggestions, please please PLEASE let me know... as I said, I'm desperate...
    cheers

  • Itunes shuts down while downloading cd (music)  onto itunes please help!!!!

    My computer has been shutting down each time I attempt to transfer music from a cd onto itunes. I have tried deleting my itunes from my computer and installing the new version, however I continue to experience this problem. Itunes will allow me to get 6 to 8 tracks downloaded from my cd and then it shuts down my entire computer. Any help would be appreciated...THANK YOU!!!!!!

    I would start here. I would also go to your computer manufacturer's site and download all the latest firmware for your computer, including for your CD drives.

  • IPod won't sync to iTunes - Please help! Tried everything

    My iPod won't sync to iTunes. I pug it into the computer, the computer recognizes the device. It automatically opens iTunes once it's plugged in. I was able to system restore via iTunes when the iPod was connected and it wiped the iPod. But when I hit sync it doesn't sync. When I hit the sync button for about 5 seconds the wheel will rotate on the iPod screen and say "syncing" but nothing happens on the iTunes side, (you know normally when your iPod is syncing at the top of the iTunes window it will say "syncing" and you can see the process happening as it quickly runs through the new music it is uploading, this doesn't happen.) I tried restarting the iPod and the computer, system reset, I checked in the control panel to make sure the apple device was started, (which it was,) and even bought a new sync cord to be sure. Nothing. Any ideas?

    I was running into the same/similar problem. Is this a new computer but old ipod?  In other words, does your ipod contain music from a previous pc?  If so, that might be the problem.  I bought a new pc and adequately transferred my music from old pc to new pc.  My itunes library on new pc was where I wanted it to be.  But when I tried to sync my ipod later, it wouldn't sync.  Would stop at first step like yours was doing. 
    If this is the case with you, open your ipod information on itunes.  It will automatically be on "Summary".  Click on "Music".  You will see a box labeled "Sync Music".  Click on that box.  Then you have the option of checking "Entire Music Library" or "Selected playlists.....".  I chose entire library.  When you sync, it will warn you that you will be erasing contents of ipod and replacing with contents of this itunes library.  Like I said, my library was good.  So I chose ok.  It synced fine after that.

  • Movie won't load into itunes

    Coverted a movie to .mv4 using Handbrake - as i have done successfully before but this time
    when I ask to add the movie to itunes (menu) or drag/drop from the finder into the itunes window
    itunes simply ignores the request - no error message it just doesn't pick it up.
    Similarly, if i double click the movie to play in itunes it is just ignored.
    It will pick up and play in Quicktime.
    If i click on itunes from the Quicktime menu (share - itunes) it gives 3 options: iphone, apple TV, and Computer
    Computer is not available (not sure if this is relevant as it's already on my computer so probably that's all its telling me)
    The only thing I did different with Handbrake was to select High rather than Normal quality
    - but the file is only 3GB so not excessive for a movie
    Can't think of anything else to add - running itunes 10 with latest updates installed.
    Any suggestion with where i should go next?
    Cheers....

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button   home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

    My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
    I also have tried  to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

    A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
    Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
    If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
    Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

  • McAfee not loading onto laptops-please help

    Hi
    I have downloaded net protect plus onto our home PC and now need to load it onto the childrens' laptops. I get so far and then receive a message which says-'McAfee Integrated Security Platform Installer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'
    I then clicked the the box that said 'close program' and then nothing happens!!! I have tried this over and over again on both laptops and it just won't install.
    Can anyone suggest anything? I've already updated Windows incase that was a problem.
    Thanks 

    Try using the mcafee uninstall tool to remove any remains of previous installation attempts. Also make sure if you had any other antivirus installed that its fully uninstalled. Try a good&safe registry cleaner such as comodo system cleaner. Then try again, and if it still dosnt work then dump netprotect plus as its not even that good. Cheers

  • Movies won't encode...please help

    I'm working on a project in iDVD that involves many videos, many submenus and buttons, and menus with video/picture backgrounds and menu music. In short, a fancy, big project. Overall, I probably have about over an hour of video. I try to burn the project or even save it as an image but when it gets to encoding the video, I get an error messaging saying "There was an error encoding the movie". I don't know what could be wrong. I checked the DVD map and saw that there wasn't any errors with the videos, all of the videos/music/photos were put on my computer by me so thy're not protected and they're all compatible with iDVD. If anyone could help, please, it would be appreciated so much.

    i had a similar problem, it turned out the issue was the format of the video that i was using (mainly the sound quality). you might want to try to run the video/audio through IMOVIE. go to SHARE, go to EXPORT USING QUICKTIME, go to EXPORT, then choose the best setting for the IDVD that you our making (most liking quicktime), then replace the old video's with the new one's from IMOVIE and it should work, it might take awhile (1 hour-1.5 hour) altogether. but the final product is awesome. my family and friends swear i had the video's professionally done.
