Movies won't play on ipod touch.

I tried to download 'Pirates of the caribbean: The curse of the black pearl' on itunes and my dad shut down the computer prior to it's completion. Somehow I managed to retrive the video and finished the download.
However, when I placed the movie onto my ipod touch and tried to play it a window popped up saying 'This movie could not be played'. I asked around, and discovered that the video was in a protected mode and that I needed to change the 'Kind' for it to play. I downloaded TuneBite in the hope that they would fix my problem, but they only converted 60 seconds of the movie before it was demanded that I pay at least $50.
It feels like everything that could have gone wrong did and I am at the very end of what I assure you is a short fuse. How can i make the movie work? I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ANYTHING!

You downloaded the movie from the iTunes store? Then you already paid for it and can download it again. You can report the download problem in iTunes and they should allow the redownload.
If you downloaded it from elsewhere (and it is -- excuse the pun -- pirated), then we cannot tell you of the many software programs to convert it for iPod touch.

TV Shows and .mov won't sinc to ipod touch

Some TV shows I bought (from itunes store) for ipod video won't sinc with ipod touch 32g. Also, some .mov files (I made) won't transfer to touch. I've tried every logical thing I can think of to make this work but to no avail. Does Apple have a fix for this?
Thanks

I'm not trying to sound bad, but did you make sure you have the option checked in iTunes to sync movies/videos? I had this same "problem" and freaked out for a good hour before I noticed the default in itunes is set to NOT sync anything but music. Double check that you have the box checked to sync videos and that the files are in itunes.

Videos won't play on iPod touch though they show they have been synced.

Transferred 3 digital copy movies through iTunes to iPod Touch 4th Gen. Now in Videos App movies are "gray" and won't play.

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 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Movie won't download to iPod Touch

I have a movie in my iTunes account but when I connect my iPod Touch it doesn't appear as an option to sync. I also have an App which said it could work with the iPod Touch but it also is unavailable for sync.
Both of these were available to sync and downloaded perfectly to my iPhone.
Can I get them onto my iPod Touch?

For the video see:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
For the app is it likely because:
- The app is not compatible with model iPod and its iOS.
- You have a Restriction on that prevents installing/syncing the app. Settings>general>Restrictions.

Videos won't play on iPod touch?

So, I have two iPod touch, 4th gen and 5th gen, I recently downloaded some videos outside of iTunes, they will sync onto my 5th gen iPod and play just fine, but when I try to sync them onto my 4th gen iPod it say's "I't cannot be played on this iPod". Why? It's an MPEG-4 file and I have plenty of space on my iPod. I've tried resetting it. Everything, why is this? And does anyone know how I can play them on my iPod touch 4th generation?

Maybe here:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
However, I looked a the specs for the 4G and 5G and they both say they play the same video formats.
All I can suggest is the stand at fixes

Movies won't play on iPod

Hello all, I'm having issues with a recently purchased movie from the iStore. I have a iBook g3 600mhz and a iPod video(black). I purchased the movie, Open Waters, downloaded it into iTunes then onto my iPod. The movie plays like its streaming and doesn't play at times period! I then tried to play it on my computer, same thing. It will play for a few seconds then the beachball starts spinning then it plays for a few more seconds etc.... The audio is choppy as well!
What am I doing wrong, I Have looked thru the preferences to no avail. Please help?????

Hi Joe,
First, try resetting your iPod. To do that:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times.
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to try this quite a few times. For more effect, connect your iPod to a power source (like a wall charger, or your computer's USB port) while you reset it.
If several attempts at resetting your iPod don't help with this issue, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod.
See this article for instructions on doing that:

- Try resetting the Bose dock

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???

If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

Hi,
Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie? (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.)
Hope this helps!

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
