Problem syncing video

I am unable to sync my videos in Iphoto to my Ipad. They are taken with a Canon D10 camera and are listed as MVI.Mov. It looks like this is a compatable format but when I sync I get an error message saying they can't be played on my Ipad. Can anyone help?

Have yo tried using the Create iPad and Apple TV Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes? There are different attributes for ,mov files and the iPad can't play all of them.

Problem syncing video to iPod Touch

I am trying to sync a video (.mp4) to my iPod Touch and it will not sync. I tried selecting the video in iTunes and then clicking Advanced>Create iPod or iPhone Version, but that option is greyed out (presumably because the video is already in an acceptable format for the iTouch).
I tried updating both my iTunes software and the software on my iTouch - and retried the steps above but no joy. The option is still greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Three questions: Problem syncing, video problem, podcast problem

I had a 4GB Nano and now I've upgraded to a 5th gen. 80GB Classic. I'm having 3 issues.
The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect." I just disconnect the iPod anyway and it is fine. This doesn't really bother me, but maybe it is causing the other two problems.
The second problem is a video is not syncing. I added 3 to my library at the same time. All 3 are shown in iTunes, but only 2 sync. Neither iTunes nor the iPod indicate a problem. I checked everywhere (even in music) in the iPod, but I cannot find the video. I compared all 3 videos and they all have the same properties. They are MPEG-4.
The last issue may or may not be a problem. On my Nano I had podcasts configured to sync only if they are new and it worked great. Only new episodes synced. On the new classic however the last 5 podcasts sync regardless of whether they are new or not. I'm not sure why this is. It's not a problem now - I have plenty of space - but later it may be an issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

*The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect.*
Your iPod is probably enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in when it appears in the iTunes 7 source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
When an iPod set to manual update, the "enable disk use " box is greyed out and ticked by default: Safely Disconnect iPod

Problem syncing video capture with audio sountrack

Hi,
I'm a drummer. I'm trying to use iMovie to record a video of me drumming to a pre-recorded song. I want the final video to be me drumming with mixed audio of both my drumming and the original soundtrack. (Here's an example of someone else doing this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgqYkBFSva4)
I'm recording the video using iMovie's import from FaceTime (ie. straight from my MacBook Air) and then adding the song that I played along with as an additinal audio track from iTunes, and syncing.
This is where I hit a problem, and it's driving me nuts. When I sync the iTunes song into my iMovie project I use waveform view to line it up so start of the song is perfectly in sync with the start of the video of my drumming. That works fine. But then gradually over the course of the video the song track goes out of sync with the video/audio of me playing, and by the end of a 6 minute song there's a very noticable gap, which both looks and sounds terrible.
This is very strange since it's the same audio track I was playing along to! In real-time when recording I was obviously in sync with the music, but then when adding it back to the recording it somehow no longer lines up.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Is this a frame-rate issue?
It seems to me this shouldn't be so hard to do what I'm trying to do ...
Thanks!

Hey Ari,
I was having a similar problem perhaps and this is what I did to fix it.

Re: iMovie '11 audio sync issues since 9.01 patch
Jan 24, 2012 12:11 AM (in response to Urban Shocker)
Hi All,
I've been dealing with this sync problem tonight as well and here's what I found that worked.
I noticed that the audio sync was fine when I viewed in Quicktime 7, but not in iMovie. I also noticed there was a small indicator on the clips in iMovie notating that the source clips were in 17 fps, not 30 fps. This is odd because I recorded the clips using the FaceTime HD camera right into iMovie and it never gave me the option for framerate on the recording. Viewing the source video in Finder I also realized that the codec for the source was Photo Jpeg... yuck. Who's choice was that.
Using MPEG Streamclip (free video converter) I converted the source video clip to a Quicktime .mov at 30 fps and using the Apple Intermediate Codec and all the audio sync issues were fixed. Didn't have to optimize, detach, or - most importantly - re-edit anything. Apple's editing systems love Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC), I don't know why they don't import in this codec by default.

Convert to one of those formats and try again.

Problem syncing video from itunes to ipod

I bought two episodes of a tv show from the itunes music store. when I plug in my ipod to update, it says that "some of the songs in the itunes music library, including the song "brian regan," were not copied to the ipod "ipod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
I bought these two episodes last night, on this computer, and I haven't connected this ipod to any other computers. plus, these are supposed to be tv shows... why does it say songs? I don't see the point in even purchasing videos if I can't put them on my ipod.
can anyone help?

Try playing the TV Show straight from your iTunes library. It will probably ask you for your iTMS login information. Punch it in, and everything should work fine.

Regular problem with video playback & audio video sync

So, I am regularly having two problems (I wonder whether they are connected) that I cannot solve and am hoping someone can tell me if I am out of luck or if I need to do something or add something.
For example, because it happened again today. These are details about the file stuff:
Type:AVI
Bit Rate:133kbps
Dimensions:624x352
Audio format: LameMP3
Frame rate: 23 frames/second
Data Rate: 1131 kbps
Video Sample Size: 12 bit
Video Compression: XVID
First Problem: If I play the file - I use Media Player Classic - it plays fine. Open it in Windows Media Player and it plays fine. Try to edit it in Premiere and the file loaded into Premiere is filled with what I believe are called audio video sync problems, so I have to constantly unlink audio and video and adjust it. It loads and does not need to conform.
I have the same problem on my laptop(Windows XP Home) and desktop (XP Pro), the desktop with twice the RAM. I have the K-lite Mega codec pack installed. I would call myself a beginner when it comes to video editing. I understand generally what codecs are but I am not capable to making any tweaks to the K-lite Mega codec pack (if I should have) so it is setup as installed.
Second Problem: The video in the playback box never plays back normally. I have tried adjusting the playback settings: have changed the aspect ratio between the software and harware option and adjusted between the three desktop display options. Occasionally it is "ok" but most of the time not and never just normal.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried this already and then we had a blackout so going to try again and hope it goes through before a second one...lol
Hello:
Thank you Robert J. Johnston, the_wine_snob, Paul_LS and SteveGrisetti for your help so far.
So this is where I am at now:
Files all seem to be of the same type, so I will just say "the file" for the one I am working with right now.
Loaded file into VirtualDub. I like that program. Well done, whoever made it. Did some basic cutting of unwanted stuff. Saved as AVI. Saved both a Direct Stream Copy and a Full Processing Copy.
Opened the FP copy in Premiere Elements and it plays without audio sync problems that I can see. Have edited it some so far and still no problems.
Before I do any more editing work, I decided to save it (SHARE) in different formats to see what happens.
Goal: Looking for no audio sync problems. Best quality I can get with a 1GB file size limit.
Saved as DV-AVI: plays fine. no audio sync probelms. love the video quality. 2.95GB, so too big
Saved as Flash: Do not see any audio sync problems. Do NOT like the quality (flips back and forth between clear and all pixely (is that a word). 32 MG
Saved as Mpeg: Media Player won't play it (thought Media Player with KL Mega Codec played everything?) (It loads it but doesn't play?); Quicktime won't play it. Windows Media Player just did. Do not see any audio sync problems. Like the video quality. 631 MB.
Saved as Windows Media: Do not "think" there are any audio sync problems; if there are, they are very subtle. Not crazy about video quality. Better than flash video option though still flickers between two types of qaulity (if that makes sense) . 52MB
Any suggestions as to what I should do at this point to meet my stated goal. I assume [share]ing is what I should do? Is there any exporting or any other options I do not know about. Without your help I figure I will Share to MPEG? Not sure why Media Player won't play it and Windows Media Player will?
Any thoughts on the best choice for me? Thanks for your help.

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB. I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB. Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone. Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
Here's what I've always done: I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable. Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window. Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer. Finally I hit "Apply." The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced. They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them. This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone. I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info." I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

Itunes 10.4.1: does not sync videos and does not communicate with outlook calendars

Hellos,
Since upgrade to itunes 10.4 I have found the following problems and no solutions yet from apple (altought version 10.3 worked flawlessly):
1)When you check "include videos" on the sync photos tab, you get an error. The "solution" is to uncheck sync videos, but what if you want your videos?
2)I noticed today the calendar has issues. Appointments you input in outlook (on a calendar that is supposedly synched with iphone/ipad) do not show on the devices and viceversa (although they do show on iphne and ipad if you sync both, but outlook is left behind.
In outlook I have calendar and calendar mobile (the second is the one I sync to iphone). To test, I included a new calendar (calendar mobile test) and I as suspected when trying to sync, the new calendar does not show in itunes options to check the selected calendars. The previous library info probably show my mobile calendar (that was synched already) but the new one does not show up, so I think there is really a problem in itunes.
These bugs have been around now for some time now, and I am really surprised that are not adressed more agressively by apple developers.
While videos may seem as a secondary thing if you look at it from a corporative point of view (but ****!!! I WANT my videos on the my ipad and iphone!!!!), not synching appointments you add to the ipad/iphone and you expect to show on outlook and viceversa, are meant to be an unplesant surprise for those who rely on these devices.
Bottomline: I like ipad/iphone, but APPLE..., you need to solve these issues that have been around the forum for some time now. Common!!!

I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

Is there anyway to sync videos shot from an iPad to an iTunes library using home sharing instantly?

Hey everyone. So at work we are trying to figure out another way to shoot speeches and have them available for the customer to review instantly. We were thinking about using Home Sharing to do this, to sync these videos to an iTunes library. However, it seems to only work the other way around, from iTunes to the iPad. The problem is is that when you take videos or pictures with your iPad they go immediately to your camera roll. Is there any way to sync videos you have taken with the iPad to iTunes using Home Sharing? Thanks!

Not sure about the Home Sharing method.
