Preparing my own movies for Ipod touch

I have a number of movies which are .mov files how can I prepare them to put on my touch library??
Many thanks

as stated in the ipod touch specifications, the ipod touch supports .mov files, so all you have to to is put them into your itunes library on your computer (file -> add file to library),
then plug in your ipod, go to the movies tab, and ensure that you have it set to sync all (or something like that, i cant remember the exact wording),
then sync your ipod

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Can I set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad?

    I would like to know if I can set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.  I own a laptop that runs Windows 7 and I would like to be able to access my past purchases for all the computers in my family.

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

  • How to Code for ipod Touch

    Sorry i didnt really know where to post this. Anyway, i am brand new to coding really, and i would really like to learn how to code apps for iPod Touch and iPhone. Where can i start (very beginning, dont know much really). Im good with macs if that helps (not mac coding). Anyway i just need a good place to start. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    "for our own use" - this gets me to thinking, can a person develop an app and sync it to their device without having to go through the apps store?
    As for developing - I don't know what language is used in the SDK programming environment, but if it's anything like C++ or Java, then I want to point out that my CS students usually take two semesters of programming to become proficient. Then several years more to understand algorithms and the deeper issues of computer science.
    Writing a program, especially one that uses a GUI interface, requires an understanding of event-driven programming, functions, parameters, OOP, and a whole lot more.
    Of course, programming the iPod/iPhone may involve a very simple language with limited capabilities, I don't know - but...
    I'd like to hear from developers; is this like programming Java applications with a GUI library?

  • Rented a movie on iPod touch says could not load video

    Rented a movie on iPod touch says could not load video after a few minutes playing

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Then try again.
    If not successful, contact iTunes and request a free redownload. Then delete the old one from the iPod

  • Movies for ipod

    I have a movie in itunes on my imac i wanted to put on my ipod touch. I encoded the movie for apple tv originally. I tries to just sync the movie to my ipod touch but itunes told me it could not be played on the touch. I am converting the movie over for ipod using itunes but it seems to take for ever. Is this normal and should i have had to convert the movie for ipod in the first place?

    appletv support 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps
    ipod tough is 640-by-480
    if you convert to ipod in the first place it will not look very good on your appletv

  • Applecare for ipod touch

    worth getting an applecare for ipod touch?
    can i still use an unopened/unregistered Applecare for ipod (orange box) for the ipod touch?
    thanks a lot

    I disagree with Jordan. I think AppleCare well worth the cost. If the battery dies during the second year you own the iPod, the cost of replacing the battery out of warranty would more than cover the cost of AppleCare which covers the battery in iPods. AppleCare also provides you two full years of phone support should you have a question (the standard warranty provides 90 days of free support). Not to mention the cost of any other repairs (even if the warranty still applies, after 180 days you have to pay shipping if you have to send in your iPod, which you don't if you have AppleCare). So to my mind, it's cheap peace of mind.

    ask 100 people and you get 100 opinions.
    scout the iTunes app store and find out which apps will suit your needs. you can do that NOW, while you anticipate the arrival of your new toy. it's more fun that way, IMHO

  • Remote for ipod touch

    is there a way to use remote for ipod touch and iphone with only bluetooth?
    i'm running 3.1 os for ipod touch and i have itunes 9

    If you mean using the remote app for controlling itunes with your touch using only bluetooth, as others have said, that's a no. This might be an ignorant suggestion, but someone who knows more about it can maybe post after me. If you're connecting your macbook to the internet with an ethernet cable rather than a wifi router, can you set up a macbook as a wifi connection spot so that your ipod is connecting directly to the macbook via wifi? I would imagine you could use the remote app then.
    I also sort of thought you were asking if there was a way to control your ipod touch using a remote via bluetooth, and that's also a no, but you can use a remote with a dock connector.

  • I have forgotten my password for iPod Touch 4G and it is now disabled. I tried connecting to iTunes but i haven't synced before and i need to enter the password before i can back it up so i can restore it. I don't want to lose pictures so please help!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.
