Playing movies on ipod w/ 30gb

I got the iPod video with 30 GB yesturday and I downloaded the movie "10 things I hate about you" onto it. When I went to watch it I heard the sound but I didn't see the images that are kind of necessary to watch a movie you know?! All I saw was the movie's cover picture next where I was in the movie. I went onto my iTunes and could watch the movie without a problem. Why can't I watch it on my iPod? And how do I? Please help me.

  • Playing movie on iPod nano

    Is it true that iPod nano(2nd Gen) can't play movies? Has anyone tried to transfer MPEG4 movies into iPod nano? Thanks

    The iPod video is the only iPod at present that play movies.

  • Playing movies on ipod

    Can anyone please help me?!
    I downloaded a movie and (very proudly) turned it into an MPEG4 and put it into itunes. I can now watch the movie either full screen on my laptop or I can play it as an MPG4 on my laptop (sound and image comes up in a smaller box rather than full screen).
    However, when I sync my ipod there is sound but no image.
    I now feel really out of my depth and was so near but so far from actually doing something technical - can anyone suggest what might be wrong?
    Thanks!

    You have to pick a category, drill down to the bottom level.
    In other words, when you look at Fifth Generation iPod you see four categories at the top and then all the messages under that are under those four categories. If you want to ask a question, you need to pick one of the categories and once in that category you will see the "Post New Topic" link next to the subscribe (binoculars) icon.
    You can not post from a level where there are additional sub-levels.

  • Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

    I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
    Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

    Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

  • Playing movies from ipod touch to hd tv

    widescreen movies have the sides cutoff.......... any one else have this problem.... or..... the solution??

    Also, iPod Touch and iPhone displays are both widescreen (16:9)
    The touch screen (480x320) is actually not quite your widescreen - it's 13.5:9
    I notice the difference when viewing 16x9 widescreen broadcast that I have captured with my EyeTV Hybrid and converted to iPod use; the station identified 'bug' is at the edge of the touch screen while on my widescreen TV it is not at the edge of the frame.

  • I have bought some movies and the don't sync to my iPod touch it comes up with this message that says it cannot be played on my iPod. Please can someone help

    I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
    Does anyone know what is wrong?

    Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video.  You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch.  See here for more information:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • I purchased a movie from I-tunes. Why won't it copy to my I pod? I receive a message "Smoke Signals was not copied to Ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". All other movies purchased from I-tunes have been copied and no problem playing.

    What can I do to view this movie I downloaded from I tunes on my Ipod classic? Thanks very mcuh for any information.

    Are you aware of how movies must be encoded for the iPad if the specs are different than Apple TV's?
    You can find the specifications for iPad playback compatibility on the iPad Tech Specs web page of the Apple site. If using HandBrake, it best to use one of the included presets from the latest set preset updates. If you change these settings, there is always the possibility you may create problems, For instance, one person has already reported that using audio data rates above the recommended 160 Kbps limit will indeed cause problems. The iPad will play movies made using any of the Apple device presets. Since I also have the TV unit, I normally use that preset so as to get double use out of the same iTunes managed file. Having a passive secondary AC3 5.1 audio track does not cause any problems. In addition, the iPad will also support a text chapter track and at least one alternative AAC language track. (I.e., have not tried to test anything greater.) Have not tested any custom podcast files containing layering effects which have not been "flattened" either as this is not normally a part of my work flow. In short, there are a number of user settings in HandBrake that may create playback problems for different devices and that is why I would normally caution casual users to stick with one of the Apple device presets since these are tied to the specific profiles accepted by each device. If you are using custom settings and the file will not play, please post a sample snippet in order for me to see if I can locate a specific problem.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
