New iPod 80gb will not display music videos

Bought a brand new 4th iPod last week and it's my first video, an 80gb to make use of the loads of different quicktime stuff i have including music videos.
Had already updated my Itunes and OS using automatic software update in OS X, then loaded and learned that many of my quicktime movies i kept in iTunes needed converting to be iPod freindly which I did using a combination of QT 7 pro, iTunes, iSquint and ffmpegx. If i set them as music video in itunes i can play them but they never appear in the music video playlist on the ipod, if I make them movie they al llist in the movie window but i get no list by artist or artist details and have to play them one at a time, the one video i have from iTMS does not allow me to change the option from movie to music video the button being greyed out..
at first I thought the problem was me but the more and more i look having reinstalled itunes and restored the ipod the problem I believe is increasingly faulty apple hardware, software or firmware as all my videos can now be played through the movie option .. any one here care to discuss am i right / am i wrong? . .anyone out there watching movies through the music video playlist with a video iPod especially 80gb

needed to sync load music videos in the settings

IPod 5G Will Not Display iTunes Videos (Must Restart), All Photos Distorted

I own a 30GB iPod 5G which has never worked satisfactorily after I purchased the unit last year. In fact, after several trips last year to the Genius Bar at the Apple 5th Avenue store in New York, Apple replaced my unit with a new (or refurbished) model and the problems diminished somewhat. Within the last week I noticed however that my iPod will not display photos without severe distortion and will not display videos downloaded from iTunes at all (the unit requires a restart if I attempt to play these videos). I had taken the unit to an Apple mini-store at a local (Iselin, NJ) BestBuy and, after he entered the serial number into the support form, was told by an Apple badge employee that my warranty for the unit did not expire until Sept. 28 (which was the date I received the replacement iPod). When I took my unit to the 5th Avenue Apple store, I was informed by a Genius Bar employee (Jay) that my warranty expired on July 6 and Apple would not perform warranty service nor could I purchase the extended warranty. He further informed me that Apple badge employees at Best Buy and CompUSA are not “really” Apple employees.
He wouldn’t call a manager after I requested to speak to one. The only recourse he could offer me was to call the AppleCare 1-800 number, which I immediately did while still in the store. The person at AppleCare (after asking for the serial number) informed me that my warranty didn’t expire until Sept. 28 and if I wanted to I could purchase the extended warranty anytime until that date. I chose not to give my credit card information while standing in the midst of hundreds of customers, but I called the following day (July 14) and was told by the attendant who took my call that my warranty had expired on July 6 and there was nothing he could do to help me.
Evidently, although I have purchased 11 iPods over the course of the last year as gifts for family members (plus 4 speaker-docks plus more iTunes gift certificates than I can count), I do not count as a valued Apple customer. Could someone at Apple please prove me wrong?

My iPod touch will not open any videos or music or games what should I do

My iPod touch will not open any videos or music or games what should I do

- Do they open but quickly close?
- Have you tried a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Have you tried downloading/installing a new app?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink. My two laptops, and Ipad are already on. I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.
*Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

IPod touch will not sync music

I have my ipod touch 4g plugged in by usb to the computer.
It does detect it, but when I press Sync, it will update everything including transferring purchases.
It will transfer Music purchases, but not the other way around.
iTunes will not put music in its library into the ipod. (shows up in itunes library but not on ipod)
The notification bar thing at the top will say Syncing "ipod" and then determines which apps and music to sync.
BUT IT WILL NOT ADD THE NEW SONGS.
Another note is that the bar that shows the storage of the ipod: Audio 6.6 gb
i press sync --> Audio 7.5 gb --> (wait for a minute) --> somehow reverts back to Audio 6.6gb (see pics below)
The notification bar will revert back to an Apple logo and doesnt do anything.
I tried many things: reinstalling iTunes, hard reset of ipod, etc. (except restore, which i will not do since it wont sync music)
I have all the latest updates to all my stuff.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
PICTURES:
before sync
upon pressing sync
after syncing

I'll try Restore but I was doing some testing and this issue only affects PURCHASED MUSIC FROM ITUNES.
I deleted a song from both ipod and itunes and readded it through "Add a file to iTunes..." and it worked for music that I get from CDs and internet but NOT THE ONES ON ITUNES.
^ just a good note to put down and yes i'll try a restore when i have time.

New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

MY NEW IPOD 60G WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING MUSIC FILES

I'M TRYING TO SET UP MY NEW IPOD AND IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING WMP LIBRARY OR A PORTABLE SONY VAIO LIBRARY. HOW CAN I CHANGE PROPERTIES OR EXT SO IT WILL. THANKS GB

You will have to get the tracks into iTunes before you can load them on your iPod. iTunes will import the following formats: AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and unprotected WMA. If your tracks are in one of these formats, iTunes should be able to bring them in (try the Add To Library command first).
If the tracks are in protected WMA (either purchased from another download music store or imported from CD with the Windows Media Player default to copy-protect turned on) or are in Sony's proprietary format, then you will not be able to import them directly into iTunes. In those cases, the only way to get the tracks into iTunes will be to, if your download service allows, burn the tracks to an audio CD and then reimport that into iTunes.
Hope this helps.
Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate behavior to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you wont need to do here .

New IPOD Nano will not sync. iTunes recognizes it, I think. It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas. Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it. It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
I have reset, I have toggled security on and off. I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
Good luck!

New Ipod Touch will not connect or sync

I recently got a replacement Ipod Touch. I connected it to my computer and can see it in the My Computer window, however Itunes cannot connect or sync to it. It's not there. I have another Ipod Touch, it connects but will not Itunes does not recognize it when it comes to syncing. I have followed the directions on the help list. Nothing is helping. The new Ipod does connect and sync with another computer but my music is on this one. HELP!
