My i-Pod Classic 160GB won't load MPEG-4 video files.

My i-Pod Classic 160GB won't load MPEG-4 video files, a message says "file type not supported." I've checked the file types I have been able to watch in i Tunes and these are MPEG-4 video files and these work ok. Any help?...Thanks.

The files didn't actually contain any video! They were corrupted.

  • I pod classic 160gb skips tracks and will only play sometimes, i pod classic 160gb skips tracks and will only play sometimes

    my i pod classic 160gb is reluctant to play stored tracks and then just keeps skipping tracks. have tried restoring settings and then syncing i tunes twice but still the same.

    That is a different issue; the hard drive on your iPod is probably fine.
    I seem to recall another post a while back in this forum, where the poster said that there seems to be a limit for the length of a single item on the iPod, and it is 24 hours.  Is that the "exact point in each book" that you observe?  If true (I have not confirmed), that may be a limitation of the software on the iPod. 
    If it is possible to purchase audiobooks that are broken into shorter segments (as an option), that may be a work-around.  iTunes will still treat it as one book, for syncing, but the segments would be like songs in an album.
    If you would like to continue discussing your different problem, it would be best to create a new topic instead of posting in this topic.  You can do so by going to the forum category

    Thank you.

    HI there,
    Snow Leopard is going to be a paid update that you will need to order form the Apple Online Store. Before upgrading, it is always a good idea to have a backup of your information. The article below has more information about backing up.

  • Classic environment won't load

    after a recent software update, classic will no longer load. The window starts to load, but just before loading is complete, the status bar stops moving and classic stops loading.
    Any thoughts? I cannot run any of my older software without classic.
    Thanks.

    Try littleshoulders's tip about Repair Permissions first. Youy can also use System Preferences> Classic to open Classic with Extensions Off and see if that allows it to start; if so, you can use the Classic Extensions Manager Control Panel to work through what extensions are active,. disabling a few at a time until you determine which is at the root of the problem. Let us know if Classic launches after Repair Permissions and/or Extensions Off; that shoud help determine if you need to refer to something like the No "blessed" Mac OS 9 System Folder section of Mac OS X: Classic doesn't start, Mac OS 9 not installed or recognized or even to OS X: How to Perform Mac OS 9 Clean Install or not.

  • IPod Classic 160GB won't update after sync

    Hey,
    My iPod Classic 160GB, latest gen., doesn't want to update the library for some reason.
    It does 'sync' but nothing gets copied from my MBP to the iPod.
    I tried restarting iTunes as well as my iPod, but nothing seems to help.
    I thought about resetting/restoring the iPod, but since I've got a library with about 130GB of data, that's not the most pleasing task.
    Any ideas for what could be the reason for this problem? Anything else I could try first, before resetting or restoring or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.

    This solved it for me:
    Right click 'Computer' then click 'properties'
    From there click on 'devices'
    For me the ipod showed up in the list but it had a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it (you may have expand the option 'disk drives' to see it)
    Next you right click on the ipod and 'uninstall' the driver.
    After it's done that it should automatically reinstall it, or you can hit 'update driver software'
    My ipod then showed up in devices &, more importantly, synced with the new itunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Classic 160gb won't sync a song?

    My ipod classic 160gb wont sync a song, it just says this song wont play on this ipod. Is there anyway I can fix it? Or make it sync? Or something?

    Hello danmic1,
    What format is this song in?  Have you tried converting it to another format via iTunes and then syncing the new version over to your iPod?  See this article for more information on converting your track to a different audio file format in iTunes.

  • PPro Won't Load Already Imported .MOV files

    Hi,
    I have been working on a project for a good 3-4 weeks, everything has been fine until now. Now PPro won't load my already imported footage, it just gives me a ? mark like this:
    Why is this just starting now? Granted there is over 300 files in the project...But I have had 400-500 before. I have Premiere Pro CS6, an AMD Phenom II X4 at 3.00 GHz, 8 GB's of RAM, and an AMD Radeon 6450HD. And also a 1TB hard drive.
    Any help would be appreciated. Trying to get this project done ASAP.
    Thanks

    I think that would've worked but everytime I try PPro freezes. Even if I only select 2 or 3. Could this have anything to do with Adobe Media Core being open?
    Thanks again

  • Cd-rom with classic program won't load after installing classic

    I tried to install a program that said it required classic support, so I installed classic from my installation disk.
    Classic seems to be running without any problems, but now when I put in the cd-rom for the software I was trying to install it won't mount.
    Other cd's seem to mount fine, but not this one.
    Am I missing an extension or driver to mount a cd in OS 9?

    WithaK, do you mean Classic 9 seems to be running on top of OS X, or that you booted the Mac is pure OS 9, please?
    If Classic 9 is running over X, any CD should behave exactly as it did before until perhaps you try to view it from an OS 9 application.
    If the Mac is booted in pure OS 9 it might need some format translators so exactly which files in System Folder>Extensions have the words "File Access" on the end of their names, please?

  • Ipod classic 160gb  won't sync past the 36 gigabyte point

    I recently had the headphone jack on my iPod Classic replaced, but when I got it back and tried to sync it on my computer (running Windows XP SP3) I began to encounter serious problems. When the sync reaches the 36 gigabyte mark (I can't say for sure if it always crashes at exactly the same point), the ipod will refuse to add any more music and I encounter one of three error messages, one about being unable to write itunesdb.old, one claiming the ipod is full and one claiming it encountered a crc error (alas I can't remember the exact wording of any of the three, I can get this information with some effort if it is really necessary). Furthermore, after this error occurs, the ipod causes the computer to behave sluggishly, with the 'my computer' folder frequently freezing when I attempt to open it. Also, when I attempt to eject the ipod it goes into a reset (but for some reason it will still play all music added before the last sync attempt perfectly).
    I have taken a number of steps to try and fix this problem, after the ipod would not sync with Winamp and the ml_ipod plugin, I installed the latest version of iTunes and encountered the same problem, I also tried restoring the ipod using iTunes a number of times. To ensure the problem was not corrupt files I ran the chdk utility on my hard drive, in addition I attempted to add files from different parts of my music library, tried adding the music letter by letter and tried syncing the ipod to my friend's music collection on his computer (running Vista and the latest Itunes)and encountered the same problem every time.
    Could someone please help me out diagnosing this problem?

    I bought my 160gb iPod clear in the knowlege that I had a 12 month warranty on hardware failure. No extended warranty or insurance. If I lose my iPod or damage it through carelessness I'll be cross with myself not Apple. I've had almost two years use out of it so far and when it does die, hopefully from natural causes, I'll still be cross but I reckon I'll have had my money's worth. Having been through a significant number and variety of portable cassette & CD players over 30 years it's lasted longer & been much more fun to own than any of those. To be honest it's survived quite a few falls and proved to be remarkably robust although my nice silicone sleeve may be an important factor in it's survival. Two of my kids have 5th gen iPods which have needed new headphone jacks (their wear & tear) and one's battery could do with replacing (age) but they've been good too.
    Hard drives can & do fail. A hard drive that is used while moving is probably going to have a shorter life-span than one that sits still. This article on the bathtub curve illustrates three classes of failure, early infant mortality, due, presumably to some manufacturing defect, random failures over time & failures due to wear & tear. User induced failure (dropping, drowning, baking in the sun etc.) are presumably random over time, although I guess we're all a little more protective/careful with a shiny new toy. Your warranty should have covered any early failure. Apple or your dealer probably offered an option for an extended warranty when you bought it which you, I presume, like me, declined on the basis that you didn't think it was good value for the money. With this in mind why do you think Apple should replace an out of warranty iPod? They've kept their end of the contract, presumably you've had 12 months of useage out of it for your warranty to have expired.
    Putting all that aside you say you have the same problem. What symptoms exactly? Have you looked at the SmartData for example? Have you conducted surface tests of both the iPod's drive & your source media? If your iPod's drive is damaged are you being honest with yourself over how roughly you've treated it?

  • Single Project Won't Load - Eternal Beach Ball - File too large?

    I had just finished putting in the last still image in a project in iMovie last night when all of a sudden, my whole computer crashed. Another friend had been working on the same project on my machine and had mentioned that occasionally iMovie would randomly glitch but she didn't mention any crashes.
    Now when I try to get to that particular project, I get the beach ball and it never goes away. I eventually force-quit the program.
    I've cleared preferences files (which allowed me to load videos again, at first it was just sitting in this suspended state of "loading" but would never do anything) and deleted old movies and projects. This is the ONLY project that won't open.
    I have 42.16GB available on my HD so I don't think space is an issue. (I could be wrong.) Again, I had just finished the project when everything went wrong.
    I have searched the forums for answers and nothing seems to really match my issue. I've tried their suggestions anyway but nothing seems to be helping. (The deleting of preference files did solve the issue of nothing loading, however.)
    I tried to copy the project file onto a disc so that I could maybe switch machines but that proved ineffective.
    Help?

    In searching other forums, I've seen a plethora of ideas but no real common thread. Someone said that trashing things before a movie is done will corrupt it. I don't believe I initially trashed anythinng necessary for the movie but now I have. Is all hope now lost?

  • Firefox 6 won't load from the exe file, always looking to remove older file which has been removed.

    Windows Vista 7. When I double click on Setup 6.0.exe file, it goes thru the file extraction, and prompts to reboot to remove old files. (The old files have been previously removed.) The computer restarts and no continuation of loading vs. 6. Then I proceed to click on Firefox Setup 6.o and click RUN. Goes thru set ups steps and then repeats "you computer must be restarted to complete uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot?". If YES, then process repeats itself, if NO, it terminates the installation. Same results with IE and Google Chrome.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • CD albums in iTunes (12.1.2.27) won't load to iPad - gets file type not supported message

    I just updated to iTunes 12.1.2.27 and synced to my iPad, but all of my CD albums that are in iTunes on a mac-mini (Yosemite 10.10.3)  won't sync now. A sample message is:
    "song title" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPad "my iPad name"
    There where a hundred songs on the list. My iPad is on IOS 8.3. I have never had this problem before. Songs purchased from iTunes store are there, but not my own CDs.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? What is the solution?
    Rolf

    Problem solved! Apparently way back in November of last year I made a copy of the iTunes library on my time machine backup disk manually. I just created the folder on the drive. This was because I was updating the system and did not trust anything to work properly afterwards. The iTunes folder was sitting on that drive and  iTunes (for reasons I don't understand) started using parts of it. I noticed this when I tried to play one of the songs from my CD albums. The backup disk would mount and spin up and play the song from there.
    By the way the iTunes preferences were set to look at the iTunes library on my mac-mini system disk not the backup drive. Why it went to that backup drive I will never know. Anyway I renamed the iTunes folder to something else on the backup drive. Now when I play a song from an album it goes to the proper iTunes library (the one on my mac-mini disk). Subsequent to this fix a sync to the iPad copied my albums  properly with no error.
