Problems with iTunes 8: NBC .m4v shows will not import into iPhone v2.02

I am a little confused. I have downloaded some NBC shows that are.m4v format, yet they will not import into my iPhone with iTunes 8. I receive the following error msg in iTunes when trying to sync:
Example "Mr. Monk Buys a House" was not copied to the iPhone
because it cannot be played on this iPhone.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to convert shows from iTunes to a different format before I can watch them?
PS Same error msg occurs with iTunes Podcast .mov format.
Any suggestions?

Well, after a little research in the iTunes Support Browser, Apple finally made the answer available.
Though Apple designs all products in iTunes to play on iPod type devices, the new HD programming will not.
The programs that are being "given away for free" are being promoted in HD format, and that's where the links on the iTunes page takes you. The iPhone 3G cannot handle HD programming, and thus the error message. (why couldn't they just have said that in the error msg, rather than have me go and look for half an hour. As my mother used to say, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
A couple of pointers for the free, give-away HD shows from NBC (iTunes way of telling NBC welcome back). These will not work on the iPhone 3G v2.02:
Mr. Monk Buys a House (HD)
Merit Badge: Pilot (HD)
30 Rock: Secrets and Lies (HD)
Battlestar Galactica, Season 4: He That Believeth in Me (HD)
etc.
Yes, if you look close enough in the show description, they are also making these available free in SD. Hope this research saves somebody a headache from buying the wrong programs.
You're welcome from a friend in Texas!

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • .CR2 will not import into  iphoto 08 7.1.5

    I have a few hundred photos taken by a friend that i am trying to import into my iphoto library.
    Getting an unrecognizable file message.
    I shoot on a Canon XSi in RAW and have no issues importing to iphoto, Apature or photoshop....
    her images were shot on a Canon TSi in RAW and will not import into any of my programs.

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Bookmarks Safari 5.0.5 will not import into Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS 10.6.8

    I am on Mac OS 10.6.8. When trying to import bookmarks from Safari 5.0.5, they will not import/display into Firefox 17.0.
    I have tried the following from the bookmark menu:
    Import Bookmarks from HTML...
    Import Data from Another Browser...
    No bookmarks display when I click ok for each, even after quitting and restarting firefox.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello nureste, try the next : open Safari> File > Export Bookmarks and save the html file in your choice location, then open firefox, and as you known, Import Bookmarks from HTML... choose the html file with the safari bookmarks.

  • H.264 will not import into DVDSP?

    So I have been searching several discussion forums and the question I have seems to pop up in each of them, but is never answered???
    Simply put, I have a FCP 6 project sequence that is 720p24frame which is an editing timebase of 59.94 with an aspect ratio of 960by720.
    This is an 8.5 minute piece so I know that it will fit onto a regular DVD-R.
    So I go through compressor and compress it into both an MPEG2 and H.264 - each at an HD bit rate.
    Then I set up an HD project in DVDSP and try to import the two. The MPEG goes in fine and burns with no problems. My BlueRay/HDDVD combo player is on its way in the mail so I can't test it, but it will not play in my SD DVD player. Then I try to import the H.264 - It states something to the effect of not a compatible format....
    That is my question - Why will the H.264 not import into an HDDVD project in DVDSP - all of the settings are correct from the initial edit - through compressor - through DVDSP.
    Thank you for anyone who can help - we have a large festival coming up that has the option of 35mm or HDDVDs (we cannot afford a print).

    So...this issue is somewhat solved.
    I have done several exports using the provided H.264 presets then tweaking them each to my own set specifics. There are four places in the formats sections of compressor that have H.264 as a codec - one of these is for iPod and web so I disregarded that one completely.
    I always applied the same settings as to have a control base when doing this experiement - I haven't done a science project in probably 15 years. I also pushed the bit-rates to the highest level.
    After many hours in and out of compressor and DVDSP, I found only one of of the presets loaded properly into DVDSP - the 60min under HDDVD H.264 preset (altered to my higher bit-rate)
    I am still waiting on my player to try it out, but it did burn fine. This is all so strange since all of my own settings (bit-rate) and other data was constant.
    Oh well...at least I've got one test completely burnt.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 on Vista. As with iTunes 10.0, The DEP will not allow iTunes to open.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?  I can't update my telephone or iPod.  I can't even open the iTunes program!!!

    I am sick of dealing with this issue.  I wish not that I had never even started using any Apple products, beginning with iTunes.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAKE ITUNES SOMEHOW COMPATIBLE WITH DEP IN WINDOWS VISTA?
    That being said, Is there any way to resolve this?  What I did in the past is completely wipe ALL Apple files from my computer, and install an older version of iTunes.  It was at least functional.  It seems that any version of iTunes 10.0 or more recent is not compatible with the Data Execution Prevention in Windows.  You can not remove iTunes from DEP, yet DEP prevents iTunes from running.
    The down side is that I can't get the latest updates for my iPhone or iPod.  Now, I have a new phone for my husband that needs syncing on my iTunes, and I can't do that because iTunes won't even open.
    Can somebody help me out with this, please? 

    OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
    First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
    If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    (Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • For about 2 weeks I have been unable to leave feedback on ebay. Firefox brings up login page but will not accept password. I am having the same problem with my yahoo email. It will not accept my passwords, so I have to use IE to login to these accounts.

    On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
    I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
    I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.
    As far as I know, no new programs have been installed on this computer.

  • I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

    Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
    I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
    I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

    Hello, I am new to this forum so excuse my forum etiquitte.  I have a l355 S7817 for 2 yrs and I have had to do a system restore on this laptop twice. I am a Vista SP2 user that has been getting blue screens recently when trying to boot up. I have gone and cleared cache, temp files, temp internet files and removed new software that was loaded and I am still getting the BSOD. I can come up in safe mode, sometimes with networking but when I go to copy data to my external HDD so I can do a system restore again, I get the BSOD. I have tried to restore from a chk point and still get errors. I need to gather my data off the drive so I can do a restore but I cannot get my data due to it fails in the middle of the copy. Any ideas what could be causing this.

  • ITunes 10.2.2.12 will not detect my iPhone 3GS in Recovery or DFU mode

    It started a couple weeks ago when I tried to upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3.1 when it would get stuck in the preparing iPhone for upgrade.  My computer sees the phone because I can see it connected via USB.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and family per Apple's instructions under Troubleshooting iPhone.  If I connect the USB to a Virtual Machine under VMWare Workstation 7 it works no problem and this is how I updated to 4.3.1 and again to 4.3.2.  Now it's annoying and I want to try and resolve it.
    iPhone 3GS
    ASUS G73JW
    Win 7 Pro x64
    iTunes 10.2.2.12

    I'm really at a loss here.  Just had to update to 4.3.3 using a virtual machine.  I've uninstalled everything apple, rebooted, ran ccleaner, rebooted, ran ccleaner again, rebooted, installed latest itunes x64, rebooted, tried to update and got error 1602 again.  Windows sees  the iphone in restore mode, tinyumbrella sees the iphone in restore mode and will exit restore mode for me.  I also updated to the latest version of vmware workstation 7.  I would really like to avoid formatting and reinstlling win 7.

  • New TV show will not sync to iphone 4

    I downloaded a tv show on my iphone 5 but it will not sync to my iphone 4 even though it's in itunes.  It doesn't show as a choose to sync.  I looked at older posts but these used Macs, so I'm not sure how to fix in windows.

    If the show your purchased was in HD, it will likely not synch to your iPhone 4 which doesn't support HD if I recall correctly.

  • Problem with saving TIFF from PDF in Photoshop and importing into Corel

    I work at a publishing company, and some of our designers use CorelDraw X14. We receive most of our advertising material in PDF format, which I then have to convert to TIFF in Photoshop (I use CS4). Most of the time this works fine, but lately, the TIFF files appear ragged and very low resolution (especially the text) once they are imported into Corel. When I re-open the TIFF files in Photoshop they seem fine, as well as viewing them with a picture manager program. Does anyone have any idea why this happens, and if the problem lies with the may I save the TIFF files or the way they are imported into Corel? TIFF files created from Corel don't have the same problem.

    I concur with Bart - they are using the preview because someoen ticked a wrong checkbox or enabled a fast preview mode... Should print and export without issues, though.
