MPEG-4 Video Files Will Not Sync To iPod

I have a selection of files in MPEG-4 format that are played by iTunes but are apparently not compatible with my iPod (newest version). As far as I can see, they are identical in spec to the other MPEG-4 files that DO work. This all makes no sense to me.
Converting these files using iTunes converting process will take a month by the look of things. Does anyone have any suggestions that will get these files to work on my iPod?
Thanks

try converting it again

MPEG-4 video file won't sync with iPod

Hi,
I ripped a home made DVD (19 mins) using Handbrake to MPEG-4 and dragged the file over into the Movies area of iTunes. It's ticked in the left hand column.
Problem is I cannot make it copy over to my 30 gig 5G iPod Video. All of my music and photos sync just fine - iTunes set to automatically update.
Any help greatly appreciated.

How did you convert the .M4v to an .MP4 file with the program? I've been trying and it wont. It's odd that you can download the .M4v file, but it wont automatically add to the video ipod.

Video Podcasts Will Not Sync; Audio Podcasts Do

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the ios 5. Now when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my video podcasts will not sync. I have not changed any of my settings, and I noticed "All podcasts" is selected under Podcasts section. Audio podcasts sync fine. All was fine until I did the recent software upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

They are there. They are now under the "Video" app on the first page of your device. Seems like a pointless change to me. It took me a couple of days to find mine, too.

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I'm getting an error message of 0DXE8000065 it will not sync my IPod and says it will delete the contents on it! What is that? What do I do?

I'm getting an error message as 0DXE8000065, it will not sync my iPod, earlier it says that I had to uninstall iTunes and reinstall. I did that and then tried to sync, it said that number error message and then it said that if I continue it will erase the contents of my iPod! Help!

If it is really "0XE..." then
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
I have never seen/heard of an 0DXE.. error message.

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

Try using some backup software like Aniosoft Smart Backup to backup your files first!

Videos/movies will not sync

So I have about 6 or 7 videos in my Itunes, I know one for usre is :Itunes" compatible as I downloaded it in that format, however they will not sync to my 120gb Ipod. I've re-set my ipod, I've removed the vids and put them back in. but they will not work. Any ideas?

Hello BigSky132,
So some of these videos were purchased from the iTunes store and others were imported into your library from elsewhere correct?
For the imported videos, have you tried using the iTunes built in converter to convert the videos to the most iPod friendly format? To do this locate the videos in iTunes, highlight them, and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version" from the Advanced drop down menu. Once the videos have finished converting, try resyncing the newly converted version to your iPod to see if that helps.
For the downloaded video, are you sure you aren't trying to sync the HD version instead of the SD one? Is it an actual movie, tv show, or some other type of video?
How do you have your iPod set up to sync videos? Do you have the option ticked to have your iPod set up to sync all checked songs and videos from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, make sure these videos have tick marks next to them in iTunes.

Video podcast will not upload onto iPod. Dimension changed!problem!

I usually subscribe to a specific vid podcast but lately i have noticed that my ipod will not sync the new vid podcasts. it's very frustrating! i have had a closer look and realised that the vids that don't sync into my iPod have a larger dimension 852x480 compared to the old 480x270. This is an MPEG-4 file. What is the problem? What should i do? Can i adjust the dimension? if yes how? I'm not sure if this is the problem but if there are any suggestions i'd appreciate them.

When the Sync finishes, do you see a message saying something like "video xxxx has not been transferred to your iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod"? If so, you could try highlighting the video in question and clicking on *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version* (it will be different wording if you are using iTunes 7 or earlier!).
However, unless iTunes 8 has "improved" this feature, it takes along time to convert and it does not always work. I gave up with the conversions.
The "problem" is probably caused by the Podcast producer changing the format of their Podcasts, possibly for a good reason. Check first in iTunes or even on the Podcast producer's web site, do they have a different Podcast (of the same programme) especially for the iPod and you are downloading the wrong one?
(Out of interest, what is the vid Podcast you are referring to, did you subscribe to it in iTunes?)
After that, you could try contacting the Podcast's producers to let them know what has happened. Bear in mind though, that Podcasts are produced independently of Apple/iTunes and are intended for all makes of MP3, not just iPods. So they may not care that only iPod users cannot watch it.
Good luck.

Movies re-imported from external drive after crash will not sync to iPod

A while back my hard drive crashed. I had backed up all my iTunes music and movies to an external drive, so I re-imported them to the repaired hard drive after it was installed. All of the music (purchased and ripped) transferred fine, but the movies I had purchased from iTunes will not sync back to my iPod. I've tried selecting them individually under the Movies tab in the "My iPod" screen within iTunes and then syncing, but nothing happens. I've tried re-importing from iTunes and doing the same thing, but to no avail. Help!

while the iPod is connected to itunes, control-click on its name in the source list on the left. click Reset Warnings. try another sync with the movies you want selected. you should get a warning that says either something like this: "There is not enough room on the iPod to sync all selected material. please remove some items." or something like this: "the format of the videos is not supported by the iPod" if it says the first one, do option 1. if it is the second one, do option 2. if it is neither of them, i don't have any ideas.
1.The iPod doesn't have enough space on it to fit all of the video. you have to take someting off the ipod to put anything more on.
2. you need to select the movies in iTunes, then go to the advanced menu and click Create iPod/iPhone Version, or Convert for iPod or iPhone, whichever appears. that will make a copy of the videos in a format that the ipod can read. you can remove the original copy from your library. you can keep the files if you want. now just select the new ones and sync them. everything should work.

HT1386 After restoring iPod to its original settings, iTunes will not sync with iPod

I restored my iPod Nano 4th generation to original settings and now when I try to sync it with iTunes, only a few songs will transfer and I get a message saying file could not be found. Some of the songs in my iTunes library were transferrred from another computer and the files somehow did not transfer. However, even the songs I purchased recently will not sync. I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes and restarting my iPod. Help!

Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

iDevices are not backup devices... restore your media/playlists from the backup of your computer.

Itunes will not sync with iPod

I have a new computer and have transferred all my music from the old computer to my new computer. I now have over 100 songs that will not sync to my iPod. I have gone through all the steps to "deauthorize" all my old computers, authorize my new computer, validate my two apple accounts (I ended up with two over time) and verified my passwords are correct. I have done everything I can find recommended to others, yet when when I try to sync my iPod, it tells me I am not authorized for all my music. Even when I login (which works), I still cannot sync my music. Any other thoughts....

I'm not sure how to reset or restore the iPod. I turned it off and on a couple times and that didn't help.
