Mp4 videos in my library wont update to iPod

I have a few mp4 videos which I can watch in the itunes viewer, that when I do the automatic update they wont go to the ipod. Anyone know why?

the weird thing is that many of the other videos do
actually make it to the iPod for instance a couple of
videos ive downloaded and some other mp4's.
Also, make sure that the preferences are indeed set correctly...
Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
I would, however, check what b posted first!

I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

IPod Software updater in iTunes 7.0 wont Update my iPod

Every time I try to update my iPod's software from 1.1 to 1.2 using the embedded updater in 7.0, I get a message saying that the update cant be completed because the iPod is in use by another program. I tried deselecting the Disk Use option but it's greyed out! I've also tried closing iTuneshelper.exe and iPodservice.exe - but no use- Please Help...

replying to carnevales
I'm having a similar problem, but it says that it cannot update my ipod because I am not connected to the internet.
some folks have been having some success with that message using Kirk's technique:

One external hard, drive two macs. Library wont update????

Hello, Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find anything to answer this, so here i am.
I Have a G5 PPC tower (10.4.11) and an Intel MacBook Pro (10.5.6) and a Lacie 500GB for my iTunes library. I mostly use my PPC while at home, which is where I upload most of my music in to itunes. However after adding music to my itunes library using my PPC if I connect the external hard drive to the macbook pro itunes only sees what it saw last time it was connected.
Just so we understand what I mean let me give you an example: Lets say my itunes library is 20GB on the external drive. I connect the external drive to itunes on my PPC and add 1GB of music. Now my PPC itunes recognizes it as a 21GB library, BUT if I disconnect the drive from my PPC and connect it to the Intel and open itunes it will not see the new 1GB addition and will only show the original 20GB library.
Does that make sense?
The only way I know how to update the library is to drag the entire itunes "music" folder into the preview pane in itunes. Which then results in itunes having to read the entire library again which takes a long time.
Is there any way to make both computers see the addition of music when I move the drive back and fourth?
Thanks
sean

Can I copy the itunes library database file from my PPC to my external hard drive and avoid having to rescan the entire library?
You can copy the entire iTunes folder from the item in the Finder's sidebar named Music, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and navigate to it.

My itunes freezes when trying to load a mp4 video to my library

I've looked around the web and every one seemed to have easy intructions, make sure its and mp4, drag the movie to your library, and sync you device. Well, as soon as a drag my movie to my itunes library, itunes stops working. Im not able to minimize the window or x out of the page. I end up haveing to use the ctr-alt-delete option to force it to close. All i want to do is to load up a movie into my itunes library so I can wath it laiter on my ipad. Has anyone out there ever had and solved this problem?

I spoke to ipod tech support and was told "We do not support itunes. It is only a web based support" Which apparently does not exist.

IPod Video - remember playback position wont update

I am watching a converted mp4 of a TV episode from a DVD that I own. When I interupt to change to something else, it only remembers the first occurence of the first time I do that. If I watch to a later point, exit and return later, it restarts at the point I exited at the first time. Any ideas as to why remember playback position will not update? Thanks for any advice.

Well, from a programming aspect, obviously. But, there's no way we can alter how any variables are set. I recommend restoring your iPod. That may fix it. Other than that, I suppose contacting Apple might be the only way to go.

Pqdvd wont update on ipod

Using the demo version i ripped the first 5 minute file , added it to itunes, updated it , and it wasnt on my ipod...Help?? please

Not to be a dope but did you go to file and add file to library? If so then once it transfers there, you should be able to drag and drop it on the iPod.

Applications in library wont sync to ipod touch

i recently got a new laptop and had no trouble getting my library unto the computer. today i downloaded the new software and a pop up told me that the majority of my applications could not synce because they were not authorized for play. after authorizing the computer about 90% percent of my apps didnt sync to my ipod but are still in my library. how do i get them untio my iPod?

i have it on the manual one, but i havent switched it to automatic because it says its gonna erase the music and videos already on the ipod and replace it with whats in my itunes, all the music that i have on my ipod right now are on a hard drive in a different folder on the computer but that music isnt in my library, i dont want to lose the songs i already have on the ipod.

I am getting this message when i want to update my ipod: "there are purchased items on my ipod that have not been transferred to your itunes library. You should transfer these items to your itunes library before updating this ipod". help please.

I think I have transferred all purchased items but I keep getting the same message and I am afraid that i will lose all my purchases when i update it if I choose to continue.

With the device connected, select File > Transfer purchases.
If there is content from multiple Apple IDs on the device, each Apple ID must be authorized on the computer.

My husband and I use the same computer. He has his Itunes library that updates his ipod. I have my ITunes library that updates my ipod. How can we share songs between us?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

Got a new hard drive now computer wont update my ipod

I had to get a new hard drive and have managed to get all of my old music back into itunes but my computer does not read my ipod and has not updated the new music that I have purchased thru itunes or music I have downloaded from a disc since installing the new hard drive. I have re-installed my ipod software from the disc with no results.... HELP!!! My Mini now has no music on it because I reformatted it when prompted to do so when reinstalling the software... I am so frustrated, please advise???
Gateway Windows XP

I have to admit that your reply seems as though it would work, but I am not sure exactly what your reply means, can you respond to me like I am an idiot and spell it out for me??? I am having a great laugh at myself right now, but if you tell me exactly what to do, I am sure I can figure it out. I did put the disc that came with my mini, I even uninstalled itunes all together and reinstalled it but that did nothing to help the cause... still getting the same response that my software is not "installed properly"

Videos from Itunes store wont sync to ipod, format not playable

Hey everyone,
Today i tried to sync my ipod to add some new songs, and it said that the two Pirates movies off itunes could not be transfered because they are unplayable for the ipod...mind you the videos were on it before and have been played.
I tried to put a TV show instead and it copied 7 of the 22 over and then said the rest were unplayable...any ideas? Is my iPod dying? Could be a good thing cuz then I would have an excuse to buy an iPhone ha ha
thanks

It could be a problem with some of the downloads in which case you would need to contact the iTunes Store. But before that have you tried:
1. Resetting your iPod (Hold down the menu and center buttons for six seconds)
2. Restoring your iPod in iTunes (all data will be removed).
