Not syncing movies or music

Hi all,
I am having problems with my daughter's Ipod (3rd gen). IT will not sync music or movies, but will sync games with no problems. Have restarted the computer, reset the ipod both through itunes and on the ipod.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Sam

Thanks for your response B-Rock.
+I'm guessing you have your iPod set up to automatically sync with your iTunes library correct?+
Guess so, how do I check this.
+Otherwise, are you receiving any error messages?+
Of the numerous times I tried to sync, I had one error message that said "the ipod cannot be synced. the required disk cannot be found." Seems to be happening a bit more regularly this morning.
+Do you have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" option enabled from under the Summary tab? If so, make sure each song and movie you wish to sync has a tick mark next to it in your iTunes library or disable the option+
Yes we have the sync only selected song, and have ticked the relevant ones. Any other suggestions?

Unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

I had the same issue. What I did was save the movies on a thrid-party app like Download Manager Lite. Once downloaded, go back to itunes, go to your iDevice, go to apps and transfer the app, then scroll down and click on the app and from there you can send the movies to that app and WILL play. Can only hold up to 8 videos/movies (this is for iPod Touch 3G or better, iPhone 3s or better, iPad requires iOS 4.3 or better)
YES THIS APP SUPPORTS .mp4
From other ipod (nano, classic): I don't remember.
If your just putting them on iTunes, it should show and play on iTunes no problem.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps

HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

Cannot Sync Movies or Music to from iTunes on Mac Mini to Apple TV

Hello,
In itunes on my Mac Mini I can see my ATV and when I click on the ATV the only tab I have is the photos tab. I don't have a Movies tab to sync my movies. I have my ATV and itunes at the latest level and this is the first time I have tried to sync movies. Up until now I have just streamed the movies from the Mini, but I have 150Gb of space on the ATV that I would like to use.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I too need the answer to this question. My Apple Tv was syncing just fine with iTunes up until I updated to iTunes 8.1 and then left town for a week. I returned, and my Apple TV would not appear in the Devices list in iTunes.
I tried connecting the AppleTV both via wireless and ethernet, and it never appeared in iTunes. Then I set up sharing between iTunes on my computer and the Apple TV and it finally showed up in the Devices list in iTunes, but it only shows the 'Summary' and 'Photos' tabs and will not sync music or movies with the computer. It was all working just fine before. I don't really care what happened (though Apple should) and would be happy to just get the Apple TV syncing again. How do I re-link it as a primary?
For what it's worth, the Apple TV does not show up in "iTunes Preferences > Apple TV > Apple TVs connected to iTunes". I've restarted the Apple TV, the router, and my computer, with no improvement in the situation.

Will not sync movies, rentals, or videos

Itunes will not sync my movies, rentals, nor videos i have bought from itunes.
This is my 3rd ipod classic given to me by the apple store to "fix" the problem that has yet to be "fixed". It will sync the very first time i plug it in as in, just straight out of the package. but never again will it sync. i have tried loading it maunally but that doesnt work either. and since all the people do at the store is hand me a new one i have no other options.

I am having a similar issue.
I am using iTunes 7.7 and an 80gb Classic set to auto sync when connected. The iPod is brand new and this is my first that supports video. I had one TV show in my library that sync'd with no issue. I can check/uncheck and load/unload that TV show all I want. However, I have a 1gb .mp4 movie that simply will not sync. It's in my Movies in iTunes. I even made a playlist with just that movie.
On the iPod settings page, the music tab has "include music videos". The Movies tab has "Sync all movies" checked and "All Movies" selected. I've also tried all the other possible settings to sync just this movie file.
So today I "rented" a movie from iTunes. When trying to move it onto the iPod, it transfers completely then give me an error - "The rented movie ... could not be transferred to the ipod ... because an unknown error occured (OxE00002BE)"
I have yet to switch from auto-sync to manual and try simply dragging and dropping.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Since updating itunes to version 10 my ipod classic will not sync any new music that I have added to itunes, can anyone help

I recently updated iTunes to version 10.3.1.55. Since then when I try to sync my IPod classic it says on the top of iTunes (where the barbers pole is) "Step 1of1 Determining Tracks to Sync". This stays like that for about 15 minutes before a message pops up saying "Itunes could not copy ""song title name here"" to the Ipod because an unknown error occurred (-50)". This message pos up for every song title that has been added to itunes since the itunes update. Therefore I am unable to sync any new music. This only happens when syncing the ipod as the iphone syncs with no problems.
Does any one have a solution?

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

IPod touch will not sync to iTunes music

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch. It is a 28GB. Recently I filled the ipod and have been getting warning messages that it can not sync to to memory. I made adjustments to the playlists that I normallly selected to sync on the ipod along with apps and pictures. When I went into try and selected the music playlists to remove or add it will not check the boxes. I restored my ipod with hopes of begining fresh but it still will not select the music. Apps, pictures or any of the other opitons work fine and allow me to check the boxes. I have attached my phone and ipad and made adjustments to the music with no issues.
Any ideas on what to do? Restoring from a backup will not allow me to get any new music on my ipod.
Thanks, Trina

Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process? If so what is the exact wording of that error message? If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?
