Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.
60GB iPod with click wheel Windows XP Pro

Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh.
Any suggestions welcome....

Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...

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.

What am I doing wrong when transfering videos from itunes to iPod?

This is the message I am getting:
SOME OF THE VIDEOS IN YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY, INCLUDING THE VIDEO..., WERE NOT COPIED TO THE IPOD BECAUSE CANNOT BE PLAYED ON THIS IPOD.
I don't think I am doing anything wrong because I have used the same process for other videos and they play perfect.
These are the steps I take to tranfer my videos:
1. Convert videos using VIDEORA iPod Converter
2. Play the viedo on iTunes to make sure it was converted right.
3. Update my iPod.

"the converted video plays, but without sound. it is the same on itunes and on the pod"
You are trying to convert a MPEG file that is Muxed. Please read on how to tell what file you have:

Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Transferring songs from ITunes to IPod Nano

I have IPod Nano 5th Generation, and the latest IMac operating system.
Had no problems until today, because yesterday I downloaded the brand new ITunes 11.0 (163). Trying to transfer songs from ITunes to my IPod Nano. Not sure if I should submit this question in the ITunes section or the IPod Nano section, so did both.
ITunes used to - until today - show my device (IPod Nano and its playlists) on the left side column of ITunes, above the ITunes playlists. So I could just click on a ITunes song on one of the ITunes playlists and drag that song into one of the IPod Nano playlists above it. Now with this new version of ITunes nothing shows up on the left side, so I have no way of dragging songs from ITunes to IPod Nano. An IPod Nano icon does appear on my desktop, but clicking on it or its contents does not show any IPod Nano playlists. I could click on the IPod Nano icon on my desktop and then click on "all files" on top. There is an area that shows all the IPod Nano songs (I think), but it does not show the IPod Nano playlists.
1) How do I get the IPod Nano playlists to show?
2) Please advise how to transfer songs from ITunes to IPod Nano playlists when using this new ITunes 11.0.
3) If this cannot be done, is there a way for me to go back and reinstall the previous version of ITunes?

I don't think the late/great Steve Jobs had this "new and improved" version of ITunes to be so darn frustrating. It used to be relatively simple to put songs into a playlist or to import purchased songs from ITunes into an Apple device such as the IPOD Nano. "Simple" used to be the selling point of Apple products. What happened? With this new version, I feel like I've got to contact Apple Support to do simple tasks. It seems like I'm not the only person having this problem.

Transferring music from itunes to ipod

Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

Difficulty transferring songs from itunes to ipod

Hi
I have been using my ipod and itunes for a few years and have rarely met a problem that i couldn't find an answer to.
This however is very frustrating and i cannot solve, when plugging my ipod into my computer, it appears in itunes and begins to 'sync' music from itunes to my ipod.
However it will sometimes only upload a quarter, or half of the songs on my itunes and then say 'ok to disconnect'.
On other occasions it will say itunes cannot read ipod and it will make me restore my ipod. On some occasions it will transfer all but 100 of my songs, then i plug it in again and only 5 will transfer.All of my songs will play in itunes and itunes recognises all of my songs need to be transferred, but will still say 'ok to disconnect' on itunes and on the ipod even though only half the songs have transferred.
It has me baffled, i have tried installing the newest and older versions of itunes, i have tried changing the letter of the drive from E: to G: i have read itunes support and scanned the forums and i can not find an answer. This has only just occured after 3 or so years of using itunes and ipod.
Please help, any thoughts or ideas would be much welcome as this is driving me insane!
Thanks

Ditto that. I wonder why. Hm, anyway, I'm calling the 800 when I wake up tomorrow. I'll post an answer if they help me at all.

Getting Video from iTunes to iPod

I purchased an iPod for video. I've downloaded TV shows from iTunes but can't watch them on the iPod. iTunes says it can't convert the files.

Any videos you buy from the iTunes store will work on the iPod. If you're trying to put videos on there that aren't from the iTunes store and are not in the supported format, you must convert them. You can do this by right-clicking on the video in iTunes and choosing the option to convert to iPod video.
There are also many third-party applications that can do this as well. Search versiontracker.com for those.

Why can't I drag videos from iTunes to iPod?

For the last year I've had no trouble dragging a video-podcast from iTunes Mac to the iPod. Suddenly it stopped when I installed Lion (not Mountain Lion). Other podcasts still drag fine. Any ideas? Thank you. Don

Even though the videos may be in an iTunes friendly format, they may not be optimized for playback on your iPod, which is why you are receiving this message.
Try using iTunes built in converter to convert the video to an even more iPod friendly format. To do this, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod.

Transfering music from itunes to ipod touch

I bought my ipod touch about 8 months ago and I used to transfer music without creating an itunes library and every thing worked OK. I updated my itunes and ipod software about a month ago and I have had nothing but problems. I now use an itunes library and transfer my music from it to my ipod. I just recently updated to the latest software and firmware and now I can't move any music from the library to the ipod. I drag the song from the library to my device and let it go and it flashes a couple of times and that is it, nothing else. Does anyone know what is going on? Help!

There is a problem with itunes or maybe ios7. Most user can's transfer their music on any ios devices.
I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it with no luck. As usual..... apple will wake up and fix this issue.
It sounds weird but every time apple releases new major upgrades there is always a BUG that ****** off users like you and I. But there is always a fix at the corner.

Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!
