.mp4 Video Won't add on one computer does on others

I have run into a situation where certain video files. This file is an MP4. The file works fine on another computer running the 64bit version of itunes on Windows 7 and a third computer running iTunes on an iMac.
The computer with the issue is a Windows Home Server v1 machine which I use to serve up the movies to Apple TV. This has happened with other files as well. Just can't figure out why. When you try to add it to iTunes nothing happens... it just doesn't add.
File name is very simple and since it works on other machines I know it is a supported file type....
Thought or guidance would be appreciated!

Renaming does not work for me. According to techisky, to successfully import MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes, files must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If your files do not meet the specs, they will fail to be imported to iTunes.
In order to successfully add Video MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes, iTunes 11 as well as sync MP4 to iPod, iPhone, iPad, iPhone 5, iPod touch or iPad 3, we have better convert the MP4, MOV, M4V files to both iTunes and iOS supported MPEG-4 format.

Deauthorize all.

Backup your iTunes library to an external drive and onto the other computer

When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

I have a very old G$ that I use for ProTools. I just bought a slightly newer G4 and I want to find out if it is possible to transfer my old OS 10.2.8 system from one computer to the other so I can run my old ProTools system without a hitch. Thanks!

I just bought a slightly newer G4 and I want to find out if it is possible to transfer my old OS 10.2.8 system from one computer to the other so I can run my old ProTools system without a hitch. I would rather not buy the old 10.2.8 system as it is expensive. Thanks!

Need to know which newer one, some cannot run 10.2.x.
One solution might be to clone the 10.2.8 Drive to another drive, then Install a later OS on it Preserving Users & Settings.
Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...

Relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Manage music and videos manually from more than one computer

Hello,
I'm triying to transfer music from two computers (work computer and home computer) to my iPhone. The problem is that when I select the Manage music and videos manually on my iTunes and then apply it keep saying that the iPhone is already synchronized with another computer and if I accept I lose all the media (video and music) on my iPhone. I just want to add new videos and new music manually without losing the existing ones, is it possible?.
I'm using the iPhone 3G with iTunes 7.7 (last version) and Windows Vista.
Thank you

Then it is not possible to add new music files or video files to my iPhone from more that one computer without losing the ones I already transfered from another computer. This is a pitty
Thank you very much

I'm trying to understand SYNC. How do I know if my addons I add to one computer or another are sync'd and not deleted when syncing occurs.

Maybe the question has been answered, but I havent seen an answer in a way I understood.
I have two or three computers I regularly use. I've been with Firefox for years - probably since version 3. Over time I've downloaded old standby add-ons like the popular AdBlock Plus and FireGestures to the more recent add-ons like Pocket and Fox-To-Phone. I've tried to maintain consistency between computers for the by manually downloading the add-ons to each computer. But I havent always been consistent, especially when I download a background program like Sareaholic or something else I dont often use, I kinda download it and forget it. I may later end up realizing "oh I got such-and-such on that other computer, not this one" and so my experience with each computer is unique.
Hence, the beauty of Sync: A take-it-with-you, consistent browsing experience across the board. Am I right so far?
But now I'm confused, especially about pairing, where one computer is added to another so they become linked (ie. synced) in an effort to have the entire browsing experience consistent :
1) I think I'm going to lose addons. And whatever else I sync because Sync will treat one computer as primary when the pairing process occurs.
2) What do I pair to what? If I set up the Sync account on computer #1 and later on while sitting at computer #2 decide I want to include it in the sync account and so I initiate a pairing, is computer #2 going to lose it's addons in favor of computer #1 or is it the other way around?
I guess here's a good scenario. Lets say my computers have the following addons:
ALL COMPUTERS: AdBlock Plus, Firegestures, LastPass
and each computer has the following addons:
#1: AdBlock Pop Up Addon, Download Helper, Pocket, Price Blink, X-notfier
#2: AdBlock Pop Up Addon, Pocket, Shareaholic, QuickFox Notes
#3: Download Helper, X-notifier, Shareaholic, Fox-To-Phone
My sync account was set up on computer #1.
?? What can I expect from initially setting up syncing?
?? Once computers are linked, what can I expect when I download an addon or one computer or another?
Thank you.
- Eric

Hi
Here are a couple of tips as a starter. Choose a piece of music with strong accents. It doesn't necessarily have to have a big drum beat but should have strong hits or musical accents. To start the edit off, choose sync points from your footage to edit to the musical accents. Then fill in the gaps with other footage.
That should get you started.

.mp4 video, won't play in QT, Real, Windows Media, but DOES in VLC

I have a .mp4 video which plays fine (video, audio) in VLC, but does NOT play in QuickTime, RealPlayer or Windows Media Player.
I have the latest Flip4Mac plug-in installed, as well.
Is there a way to convert this into a video that will play in QT Player?
(I also tried iSquint - doesn't work there either)

Some of those are unfamiliar to me, but presumably you have them for a reason. Given that not all mpeg4 files are playable in Quicktime for the reasons stated, try moving some of those plug-ins to the desktop to see if it helps. My own 'portfolio' is as follows:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.2, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11, and should also work with 10.5.4.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player versions (v.9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0) in some cases conflict with Leopard 10.5.4, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct versions for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-005. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs:
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.

Two Video IPods in Family only one Computer

I was giving a Video IPod Saturday for my birthday from my husband and Kids... My daughter also has the same one except hers has not been working. When I was starting to set my own up on our computer she made a comment about not being able to have two IPods on the same computer. At the time I was not concerned about it as the Apple Tech had told me that hers was damaged and not repairable... I loaded my own, have itunes set up and have had no problems downloading music, tv shows and a video so far. I was sick about my daughters and while setting up my own found all the help information on the Apple support site, come to find out that the worless tech at the apple store had just not gone that extra step to actually see if my daughters was totally dead... I have been able to get hers back into disk mode and have it charging on the dock connected to the AC adaptor.. My question does anyone know if I can plug hers back into the computer to try and restore it???? since I have mine loaded also. We each have our own account within Windows. So far I have yet to get the IPod out of disk mode.

"My question does anyone know if I can plug hers back into the computer to try and restore it???? since I have mine loaded also"
Yes you can. If the computer recognises it that will be fine. Log into her Windows account and restore from there:
Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7
Restoring iPod to factory settings with iPod updater
For future references, when the iPods belong to two users, there are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. Each iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

MP4 video won't play in PowerPoint. Could it be a QT issue?

I have MP4 video that will play in QuickTime Player, but not in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows. PPT Help says that PPT and QT both have to be 64-bit or both 32-bit - you can't mix and match. PPT is 32-bit, and I'm assuming that the QT 7.7 I just downloaded is 32-bit also. Is that correct?
-Stuart

I had this question too before and find a solution now.
If you want to play MP4 file on PowerPoint, Just convert MP4 to powerpoint supported formats. Very easy.

.mp4 videos won't sync to iphone4

I have few .mp4 videos which I am trying to sync to my iphone. I imported to itunes I even converted to iphone version using the advance tab, and I try adding to new play list (music albums) and also try adding to move folder in itunes. When I sync to the iphone I could see over all space is reduced by the size of my videos, and also shows how much space is occupied by my new videos in the itunes bar, however I could see nothing on my iphone. I tried even searching with the video clipping name. I couldn’t find it. I tried so many ways but couldn’t upload (sync) to iphone. I am doing it first time, I don’t know where the videos will appear after the sync? Do I need any app or plug in to see the video on the iphone. Am I ding something wrong?

Thanks for the response, i looked in the iPod app, it is empty. As i mentioned earlier, in itunes when the iphone connected, it shows the used space for the videos, i couldn't find the actual videos on iphone whatsoever.
