Music videos don't show up on iPod

Evere since I've updated to iTunes7 my music videos that I purchased on iTunes don't show up on my iPod. I can see them in iTunes under default Music Videos playlist but somehow they are not in the Movies folder in the Library.
They also don't appear in the Music Videos folder on my iPod.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

Videos don't show up on iPod video playlist

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but I subscribe to a coupld of video podcasts. They update fine off iTunes and they synch over to my iPod. The problem is, they don't show up in any of the video playlists. They show up under the 'recently added' list of both music and video files.
How can I get these things to list in the Video Podcast playlist?? Thanks for your help and thoughts!

Julia,
Do you have a Fifth Generation iPod, or not?
Only Fifth Generation iPods are compatible with any videos, which include video podcasts that you try to download onto it.
So, if you have a Nano, for example, it isn't won't be capable of playing any video files, sorry.
If you're unsure what model of iPod you have, check out this article which has info about different iPods here: Identifying different iPod models

Videos don't show up on iPod

Please help me!
I tried every single german iPod-Forum but nobody could possibly help me.
My iPod worked out great until I updated the ipod itself and
iTunes. I can see all my videos and podcasts in my i Tunes
library. But they're not on my ipod!
I don't know what else to do, it drives me crazy. Right now
the ipod is not worth all the money I paid for it.
I hope you might have some idea what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Julia

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

How do I convert purchased music videos and television shows into my Itunes liabrary and sync it onto my ipod?

I recently purchased a music video and a television show episode off of Itunes. It was in my liabrary until I plugged in my Ipod nano 4th generation for it to sync. As my ipod is syncing the music video and tv show episode were'nt in my liabrary and they didn't sync onto my ipod. Yet when I log into my itunes store account the purchsed content is there. How do I get the music video and tv episode into my itunes library and onto my ipod?

My guess (and it is just a guess) is that what you are trying to do is no different than recording a TV programme to a VCR then watching it at a time of your convenience, probably the main reason why people have purchased VCRs, PVRs and the like.
However, with commercially produced DVDs, there is an encryption built in to prevent copying, and it the discussion of how to overcome this encryption that Apple will not permit on their forums.

How can i erase only the music i don't like from my ipod ?

how can i erase only the music i don't like from my ipod ?

Go to iTunes and erase all the songs you don't want from your library or check the "Manually manage music and videos" box, erase all the songs from your iPod and only put the songs you want or check the "Sync only checked songs" box and check every single song in your library (Crtl+Click on a check box (if on PC)) and uncheck the ones you don't want.

Itunes freezes when I try to play music video or tv show - bought on Itunes

Hi everyone,
I've been using iTunes since Christmas and it has been working smoothly enough until today.
Today I've had my PC upgraded. I don't know much about computers but apparently there's twice as much space as there used to be and better graphics. I tried testing this by playing a tv show from on iTunes but it didn't work. Whether it's a music video or tv show, anything that requires 'watching' the screen goes black and flickers back and forth between the black screen and a frozen iTunes as if the video is about to play.
Can anyone let me know how to fix this? Has it something to do with the upgrade?
Let me know if I need to provide anymore info.
Many thanks,
YIB

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Why do music videos no longer show up properly?

After updating to OS5 I notice that music videos no longer show up properly.
I have most of mine in playlists, and it show the songs, but only plays the music, not the video?
When I view them in 'Videos' I have no option to sort or show them in a different way!
Considering the iPad is probably more slanted toward movie content, the lack of features for music videos is very disapointing

I think this has always been a lacking feature in the iPad videos app but now it is even worse as you can't go into the music app, context navigate to the video you want and play the music video. It was irritating in the past as it took you back to the lack luster videos app with no sorting or context other than the video tile navigation, now it is TOTALLY un functional.
APPLE DEVOLPMENT please use the video app with 200+ music videos and see how you like it! Or does anyone know of a replacement or more advanced app that will allow a better browse and play interface. Apple's is so basic that it is 'still' just painful!
Music video playlist and shuffle on the iPad would also be nice but sort would be awesome!
Thanks for any info from anyone on this topic that I have long hopped to be resolved but it is going backward and we are loosing features.
The new music interface isn't any better in my opinion either, play buttons at the top so your hand has to be over the top of the screen, store button at the bottom left vs top right as it would be more intuitive like other app purchase button positioning.
Anyone know how to make music videos sort better on the iPad (by artist would be awesome)

Why flv videos don't show in version 5.3?

I have bought Keynote 09 5,3 few days ago
when I want to show an old presentation (Keynote old version) with flv videos, don't show the images. Only works audio!!! ??

If these are "modern" .flv files that use H.264 video then you'll need a helper app like Perian to play them using QuickTime.

Music videos don't display on ipod

I have all my music videos on itunes but they won't go on my ipod nano 5g after synciing several times.

Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Music tab. Make sure it is set up to include those videos in your music syncing. In particular, the checkbox that says Include music videos needs to be checked.
If you get an error message, it may because the videos are "HD," which is too high resolution for most iPods. If you can get the "SD" version of the video, they should sync to your nano. If they were purchased from the iTunes Store and you downloaded the HD version, you should be able to get the SD version at no additional cost.

Manually Transfer Podcasts - Don't Show Up in iPod "Podcast" Area

Here's the scenario. My wife and I each have iPod Shuffles for use at the gym, etc... We each have our own computer and different iTunes libraries. For our anniversary, I bought her (us) an 80gb w/video. The thought was that we'd share both of our music libraries here along with videos/podcasts for us to use when we traveled (separately or together).
I've found that the best/easiest way for us to manage the iPod's library is to set it up for manual management. This was after doing a lot of searching forums on managing between two computers... unless that's changed, then no worries there.
My wife took a trip a couple of months ago and downloaded some individual podcasts (not subscribing) into her computer, from iTunes, and transferred them into the 80gb iPod for watching on the plane. They're in the Podcast section as expected. I'm taking a trip in a week and downloaded some additional podcasts from iTunes, and also did not subscribe to them. I did a drag and drop into the 80gb, but I couldn't find them looking through iTunes and through the iPod itself - except through the recently added files folder.
The only place I can find them is in the "Recently Added" folder, but that won't last long. So now that I've "found" the podcasts, how do I get them libraried (is that a real word?) into my Podcast section of my iPod? They do reside in the Podcast section of the iTunes program. I have version 7.2.0.35 of iTunes if that matters.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

from Byron.

You can indeed burn moves and shows from the iTunes Store to a data DVD (via Finder or other software) for backup purposes, which is I believe what Byron is asking about (though I can't be sure). You just can't burn them to a video DVD to be played in a standard DVD player.
Well, I'm not sure about that. Having just re-read the terms, it appears that you may re-download content, and that you can burn songs, but this appears to not include videos (unless it is iTunes Plus content):
(iv) You shall be authorized to burn an audio playlist up to seven times.
(v) You shall not be entitled to burn video iTunes Products or ringtone iTunes Products.
(vi) iTunes Plus Products do not contain security technology that limits your usage of such products, and Usage Rules (ii) – (v) do not apply to iTunes Plus Products. You may copy, store, and burn iTunes Plus Products as reasonably necessary for personal, noncommercial use.
Reading further, then there is this:
(ix) Content Rentals
(a) Content rentals are viewable on only one device at a time. You must be connected to the iTunes Service when moving rentals, and you may do so only between your computer and other compatible devices. Content rented using your Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation) may not be moved. If you move a rental to a compatible device and then use the iTunes Service to restore that device, or choose Settings > Reset > Erase all content and settings on that device, the rental will be permanently deleted.
(b) You have thirty (30) days after downloading a rental to begin viewing. Once you begin viewing, you have twenty-four (24) hours to finish viewing a movie, and forty-eight (48) hours to finish viewing a TV show. Stopping, pausing, or restarting a rental does not extend the available time for viewing.
Some iTunes Products, including but not limited to Content rentals, may be downloaded only once and cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. It is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage iTunes Products once downloaded, and you may wish to back them up.
Even after years of deciphering contracts and the sometimes rather complex content, I find this a bit confusing and I'd be checking with Apple to make sure I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be.

Music video didn't work on the iPod

First of all, I apologize for my mistakes, my English is not so good.
I downloaded a music video on iTunes and I transfered to my iPod nano 4th gen., but the music video didn't play, the iPod plays just the sound, as the video were a music, it doesn't shows like a video, the iPod show just a single image, like a picture from the video.
What can I do to run the music video normaly on the iPod?

Hello edu_h,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How are you accessing this music video? Via *Music -> Songs* or through the Videos menu? If you haven't tried *Videos -> Music Videos* I would start with that.

Music Podcasts - Artists Not Showing Up On Ipod

So my old beater ipod finally disappeared and I got a 80g ipod classic, and there appears to be an "improvement" that eliminates my ability to integrate my music podcasts. On my older ipod if I got, for example, a podcast from KCRW of a song by M. Ward, I could change the artist on itunes in the info section to "M. Ward" and it would then show up on my ipod under "M. Ward." On my new ipod, the only way I can find that podcast (which is just a song) is by searching for M. Ward - not very convenient. Seems kind of like itunes and the ipod are becoming like MS word, over engineered and unhelpfully paternalistic. Anyone have ideas for a work around? cheers, stu

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.
