Movies wont Sync (correct format, plenty of space)

Hi everyone,
I am having troubles sync my movies. Since I updated the latest itunes version I cant do it anymore.
I used to simply grab the file and drag it into my ipad on itunes but now it will stay grey with a dotted circle.
The format is mp4, I have enough space, it will show up on my ipad (on itunes) but will stay gray with a dotted circle next to it and wont sync.
I tried by sync manually, automatically and WiFi. Still no response.
Running out of options, if someone could help I will be very thankful!
Best Wishes!
pd. It is an Ipad 2, iTunes on a Windows Laptop

Movies wont sync to my 30 gb video ipod Someone PLz Help me

I have had my 30 gig video ipod since they came out. everything is up to date(My ipod software and itunes software). Whenever i sync my ipod it says that the movies couldnt sync to it because they are not playable on it.
I think my ipod is a fifth gen. but then why won't the movies sync. Plz can someone help me.
Ipod 30gig video Windows 2000 Idk if it is a fifth gen.

plug in your ipod, let it automatically update, when it's finished, go to the category (TV Shows, Movies, etc) you want to go to. Select Sync All, the select the option of "Selected" (do not check mark "all") and choose what you want added to your Ipod, then go to file and Sync your Ipod. I had the same problem and this was successful for me.

Rental Movie wont sync

ok so i rented 2 different movies. i looked it up and my ipod classic 30 GB can have movie rental synced to it. but when i try to sync it to my ipod, it says it cannot be played on my ipod and the video format isnt able to play on my ipod. what is blocking or preventing movies going on there? if it is the format, how do i change it and find out what the current format is?

Yes, there is a 30 gig iPod and no, it's not a Classic. The Classic is the most recent generation of conventional iPods and only comes, as the previous poster stated, in 80 and 160 gig models.

It sounds as if what you have is the 30 gig iPod with Video, also know as a 5th generation iPod. They don't support rental movies. Sorry.

Movie Wont Sync? - iTunes Slider Backwards?

I am trying to sync a movie that i purchased on iTunes last year. Every time i connect my phone the box is checked but never shows up in my phone. On top of that now when uncheck the box for the movie is INCREASES my memory storage slider at the bottom of iTunes. Anybody seen this happen before? I have tried multiple iPhones still same issue, the movie will not sync.

Thanks for that info. I will check into that. She "told" me she bought it, but maybe she did rent it instead. I am not sure which iPod she has, only sure that it is a video iPod. Its her first Mac and panics at the first sign of any problem even if it isnt one<g>
Thank you

PURCHASED MOVIES WONT SYNC WITH NANO

ok first off earlier today i received a gift card in which i used to purchase 2 movies off of itunes.but 4 some reason i get the same message over and over again saying im sorry these files cannot be placed on ur ipod.at first i thought it was a new update or my ipod*which is new* but i had some spare vids on my comp in which i used to test and it turned out that every 1i used, worked. and ive been trying to contact apple rep's through some numbers i found and the lady i got basically blew me off and after that no one else picked up.........so ummmm yeah basically what im saying is HELP

What is meant by "cant seem to get any of my songs from my nano on to my i tunes account"? This makes no logical sense.
All of your content should be in iTunes on the computer.
Connect the device.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.

Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!

I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

I tryed to download a movie off of itunes and it downloaded but wont sync into my ipod

i downloaded a movie off of itunes and it downloaded but wont sync it says the ipod is synced with another itunes library do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library .an ipod can be synced with only one itunes library at a time erasing and syncing replaces the contense of this ipod with the contense with this itunes library does that mean that if i sync the movie it will erase everything on the ipod and only put the movie and if it does can i put it back on with the movie still on it

You can do it by manually managing music and videos. See:
iOS: Issues syncing content with multiple computers using iTunes
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions

I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs) might help) could someone please help?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

I have uploaded cds in itunes but they wont sync iver to i phone. Can you help

I have uploaded cds to itunes but they wont sync over to iphone. Can you help

Hi,
the question is: does it play unter iTunes on your computer? If yes, then you have to convert the video in an iPad compatible format. You can do that within iTunes. Under iTunes click on the left side on "Movies" and find your video. Select it. Then find in the menu bar "Advanced" and the menu point "Create iPad or Apple TV version". Your computer will do the rest. When finished you should have two versions of the video, the original version and the new iPad version. Feel free to delete the original version, if you don't have any other need for it. The iPad version will play fine on your iPad.
If your original video doesn't play under iTunes, you have to convert it to a Quicktime format first. In this case, please give us more details on the format your original video is stored in.
