PROBLEM TRANSFERRING VIDEO TO iPod TOUCH

I have converted a .avi video to .mp4 format and it works fine on iTunes. However, it will not function properly on the iPod Touch. How can I fix this? CAN I fix this??

NVM, disregard this post, I found out what went wrong and I fixed it. Everything is fine now.

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

All of a sudden having same problem. Thought it was because updated to OS4 on Itouch yesterday. Tried everything I could think of still won't sync properly. Everything else sync's okay, maybe Itunes glitch today something to do with new OS ?

Problems with video on ipod touch 64GB

hi,
I just got the last ipod touch version 64GB and also installed the latest software 3.1.2.
But some videos (mp4 format) wont play. you either have a frozen image (sound plays) or a green screen (sound plays).
the exact same videos play find on my older generation 32 GB ipod touch (the one without the volume switch)
any ideas?
thanks

I have a 3G (3rd generation) 32GB ipod touch . I am running into the same problem.
I have a 6th gen ipod classic, and also a 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen, my videos work fine on both of those.
However, when I put the SAME videos that work fine on both of my other ipods, unto the 3G iTouch, all I get is a green / semi-frozen screen with working audio.
I contacted Apple, they told me it was a hardware issue and to bring it back to the store which I got it (Best Buy) and swap it out. I did so, and my new one does the exact same thing. (At least I got a free set of headphones and usb cord by swapping it out and not putting the old ones in the box,haha Apple)
The only support I am getting about this problem is from online posts such as this one. So far no one knows the problem and Apple reps insist that this is a 'few and far between' hardware problem, however through swapping it out, and reading posts of other people who have swapped it out, I have concluded this is not so.
I prize myself on being computer 'savvy', I can fix almost anything, however with this problem I am stumped.
For now I will just try to wait it out and either hope they fix it with an update or sit on this semi-broken ipod for a year until the next one comes out....

Problem transfering video to ipod......HELP PLEASE

i have put videos onto itunes(converted them using videoria)they show up on my itues and in my library but when i try to drag them onto my ipod it doesnt highlight. no response at all. i can only drag them to my "pary shuffle" i know this question has probly been answere a million times but i cant figure out what im doing wrong. im even looking in the folder that videoria saves the transfered songs. still no luck adding them to the ipod. please any feed back will help

I have had this problem, and it deals with the amount of data. It is the Average Bitrate, it should be below 500 kbps. Also try using handbrake or DVD2Pod. I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD and DVD2oneX to size the DVD to under 4.3 Gig. Also a program that helps is DVDxDV which truns a VOB file to a movie.

Problem transferring music to iPod touch

Ok, so I just bought the IPT 2G 16gig less than a week ago, and i love it. So I put in a cd and load it into my library, and everything works just fine; until I try to take the music and put it into the touch. I drag the music to my ipod and it wont go in. I cant sync my ipod because my family has ipods too, and i dont want all their music on my ipod. Can anyone help me?
Also, this is my second ipod, my first being an ipod nano 2G. I had a different itunes on a different computer, and i was wondering if there was a way that i could take my nano, put it into my IPT library, and dump all the songs on my nano into that.

Fire up iTunes with your ITP connected. Under devices in the left hand pane click on your iPods name. Go to the centre panel and under the options heading make sure the manually manage music and videos option is checked. Now you wont need to sync, you can just hit the disclosure triangle in the left panel next to your iPod's name, select the 'music' heading under it and then go to the File menu and select 'new playlist' and drag the songs you want from your itunes library and drop them onto that playlist. (alternatively, if you already have playlists created under your itunes library, you should be able to just drag the playlists themselves into the ipod to transfer those songs over.
As to your question about transferring songs from your nano, you'll have to hit google for that, it's not a topic that can be discussed here given the T&C's of this forum.

Problems transfering videos to ipod since installing itunes 6.02

So, i just upgraded to itunes 6.02 and now i can't transfer videos onto my ipod. It tells me they aren't in the correct format or a format the ipod can play. Before i upgraded i had absolutely no problems. I have tried taking off files that uploaded fine with the previous version of itunes and uploading them with the newer version and they don't work either. I've got the latest updater software and that's made no difference.
I've used both Videora and Apollo ipod convertors and neither make any difference. I've tried both mpeg4 and h.264 formats, but that doesn't work either.
Why do apple bring out software that creates new bugs?!

I just bought a 5th gen and cannot transfer videos.
The videos are a computer format (could not play on TV) and I converted them to play on Ipod like help file stated. It stated that I can drag and drop to Ipod icon that shows when I connect the Ipod and use ITunes. Well no can do! It transfered to ITunes and will play in ITunes but cannot get to Ipod. My Ipod has a video section so I know I can have them on it. I tried with manual and automatic update selected.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Problem transfering video to ipod

I bought some video files (tv episodes) from the iTunes store and for some reason some of them will not transfer onto my iPod. The first few files worked fine and play on my iPod fine too (it's a season's worth of a TV show I'm discussing here). But the last few downloads refuse to transfer. They will play on the computer but when I drag them onto my iPod - a new 160G classic - it tells me "XX was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
Incidentally, I am running the latest iTunes version (7.4.2 (4)) and iPod OS.
It's especially strange because only some of the video files have this problem, not all of them. And as I said they play fine on iTunes on the computer.
I checked and made sure my computer is authorized for my account. Rebooting, ejecting and replugging the iPod, or restarting iTunes doesn't help. Any advice?

I had a similar problem once and solved it by coping the items to another folder. I then removed the items using the iTunes interface and said "Yes" to the "remove video and delete file" question. I then closed iTunes. After opening it again I used the File > Add To Library menu option and added the items again. It worked for me, maybe it wil work for you as well. You may end up needing to do all that, only to find out you need to re-download the titles from the iTunes Store again. Good luck.

i cant get my videos on ipod touch that is direct hookup to my Kenwood Stereo DNX890HD to show the video. the audio plays but i cant see the video. Is there a way i can make the video show on my Kenwood DNX890HD player

Does your ipod touch have the lightning connector or the 30 pin connector.
Lightning connector does not transmit video because it is digital and the KW is analog.
You can buy a convoluted combination of splitters and converters to get around this but it will be expensive and a spaghetti of wiring. If you do have a 30 pin connector, then details for proper setup are on page 106 of your English Manual.

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.

Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes.

Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes. iTunes recognizes the iPod. I've gone to File>Devices>Sync and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. It shows that it is downloading, but once complete and I go back to check, still not there in either case.
Also, I updated my Windows XP laptop with the new iTunes 11, all the music is there from before and even added a couple more CDs (thought it was all on the laptop). I turn the laptop off, come back next day, music is all gone and is now found in iCloud. I didn't want it to be transferred to iCloud, but I must have missed a checked box or something. Any idea on how to un-iCloud all of that music that should still be on my laptop? Otherwise, how do I Home Share from iCloud (Windows XP) to iTunes on Windows 7?
As for Home Sharing, it's hit or miss. I found where you are to hit the Alt button to access Home Sharing on my Windows 7 laptop, it worked 1 time and now I can't find the Home Sharing in the Playlist Section or Music, nothing. Really?!?! Come on Apple, can't you do better than that! I'm getting really frustrated here! It seems I can only Home Share to my Windows XP laptop, but not vice versa - XP to Windows 7. Really?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how I could possibly get this all to work? Btw, isn't iCloud suppose to automatically download to your iPod anyway? Well, it doesn't.
Frustrated!

Do they play in iTunes?
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
- Try unsyncing and resyning

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

Hello, I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch

Hello,
I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch
I just wanted to edit a picture, and then he is always crashed.
Hope someone can tell me what to do.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
