Music videos won't sync to ipod?

I have a 3rd generation iPod nano, and its supposed to be able to play movies, shows, music videos and such. All I really want is the music videos. so last motnh I bought "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, and it synced and played that weekend but then when I plugged my iPod in again, it didn't sync it. it just took it off, I also bought "Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson and neither will sync. It tells me that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" cannot copy to my ipod because it can't be played on my ipod. and it says that my computer is unauthorized to play "Love Story".
I have iTunes, 7.9 I think. but I can't update it because I can't uninstall the Apple Software update, the file can't be found on my computer to uninstall.

Sounds like you need to get itunes updated so the videos will play on the PC.
Forget the Apple Software Update. Download itunes from this link
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
When the box pops up to run or save, choose SAVE and put the file where you can find it. Double-click on itunesSetup.exe and the install should run.

  • Itunes music videos won't sync to ipod

    Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been trying to resolve this problem for a month. My daughter has a 5th generation video ipod. When she updated her ipod all of her music videos were erased from her ipod. They remain and play in itunes, but wont transfer to itunes. There is a message that states some files weren't transferred to ipod because they are not compatible, but they are and they used to be on the ipod. Once again files that used to play now won't transfer and are being labeled as incompatible. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. We are about to go on a trip and having her ipod work, would make it a much more relaxing trip for me... Thanks

    After my computer freezes itunes says: Attempting to copy the disk "ipod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It also says: itunes could not copy "name of a song" to the ipod "ipod name" because the file could not be read or written. This is after it synced all but 100 of my 800 songs and all of my apps.

  • Music video won't sync to device

    I downloaded a music video (Born Free by M.I.A.) and moved it to my desktop for some reason and now, it won't sync. It's visible in my iTunes library but I can't drag it anywhere. I probably have to move it back to a certain folder, right? Do you have an idea where that folder is located?

    hey there i jus recently discovered, all you have to do is highlight the music u want and drag it to ur iphone or ipad tab, ios 6 is just a beta, and it comes with common little flaws like this, but i just kept trying and i noticed it didnt have a option at the bottom of summary to manually manage music; it was changed to manually manage music videos, then i remember when the ipod frst came out we had to drag and drop files so i tried that and it worked, so lemem kno huw it turns out for u

  • Videos won't sync to iPod, even though they show up in directory

    I'm trying to sync some movies onto my iPod Touch 3rd gen.  The movies are in mpeg4 and quicktime format. 
    I have dragged the files over successfully to my iTunes library... and these files also appear in the iPod directory for my iPod.
    Now the problem: I don't understand why these movies won't show up on my iPod after I sync it?
    I've retried many times with all sorts of different options clicked... but they never show up in the Videos on the iPod, even though they appear in the directory on my Mac.
    Any suggestions much appreciated!

    - Have you tried using the "Create iPod and iPhone Version" in the advanced tap of iTunes?
    - Is the specific format compatible with your model iPod?  There are many different mpeg formats.
    - Do they play in iTunes?

  • How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?

    Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks

    iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
    I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

  • 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.

    This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
    may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
    This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
    Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
    Hope that helps.

    You can only automatically sync all media to one computer/iTunes library. You can sync music and videos from any iTunes library/computer if you use the manual method included here:

  • IPod touch 4G randomly deleted music and won't sync?

         So my white iPod touch 4G was plugged up to my computer to charge like always. When I went to listen to my music it said there is "no content, please purchase...". Now the majority of my music is downloaded straight from itunes but there are songs I've downloaded from importing CDs to itunes and then to my iPod. All my songs are still on iTunes, so I try to sync the music back to my iPod and it says that all my music IS currently on the iPod, but when trying to sync from my purchased list (where some songs aren't on my iPod) it won't sync because it says "iPod couldn'y sync because it couldn't be found. I'm horribly confused and I really just wont my music back so please help!

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another USB port
    - Try cable
    - Try on another computer to help determine if yo have an iPod or computer problem. Do not sync to the the other coputer, just see if iTunes sees it corretly.

  • My iPod Classic 160GB has lost all its music and won't sync or restore

    My iPOD Classic 160GB has spontaneously lost all its music - approx. 5000 songs. One minute they were all there, now they're all gone - display says "No Music" although memory still shows 23GB in use? I tried to re-sync on iTunes but the iPod won't sync (error 1415) or restore (error 1439). As things currently stand,my iPod is just a very expensive paperweight - please can anybody help with this?

    hi lindsay
    i understand you have all your music still in your itunes library?
    Try the basic resetting of your ipod,also try another usb port.
    Have you tried ,when ipod is connected,click on your ipods name,for example lindsays ipod,another window should open up and you can see  summary,click on the sync box ,bottom right hand corner,see if this helps.
    Or you could ,when you have itunes open,click for updates.
    hope this may help you
    thanks madforit
