Quicktime video clips won't sync with ipod

Hi I've been trying to get some of the quicktime video clips I have to sync with my ipod but it says it can't because it can't play the clips on ipod. I've done it before but that was so long ago I have forgotten how to do it. So can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

Try right clicking on the videos in iTunes and selecting "convert selection for iPod".

MPEG-4 video file won't sync with iPod

Hi,
I ripped a home made DVD (19 mins) using Handbrake to MPEG-4 and dragged the file over into the Movies area of iTunes. It's ticked in the left hand column.
Problem is I cannot make it copy over to my 30 gig 5G iPod Video. All of my music and photos sync just fine - iTunes set to automatically update.
Any help greatly appreciated.

How did you convert the .M4v to an .MP4 file with the program? I've been trying and it wont. It's odd that you can download the .M4v file, but it wont automatically add to the video ipod.

A youtube movie clip will not sync with Ipod classic

I downloaded a short movie clip from youtube using Vdownloader. The clip downloaded to my movies in Itunes.
However it will not sync with my Ipod classic, and comes up with the error message "the olympics opening sequence was not copied to the Ipod, because it can not be played on this ipod."
Previous movies using Vdownloader have copied to the Ipod okay. I am running on Windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let's just say that if your mvies are rent or bought, they are possible for snycing on your classic, but if they are downloads they won't be able to sync on your classic...

ITunes won't sync with iPod Classic

Hi Helpful people,
Sorry to ask the same question as a lot of others but nothing seems to be working.
I have a 60GB iPod classic and I'm running iTunes 10.6.1.7
iTunes detects my iPod device.
In the iPod summary I have open iTunes when iPod is connected ticjed and sync only ticked songs and videos ticked.
I have tried sync'ing like this and with both unticked.
I have triied sync'ing from this page and also the File drop down.
The best I have achieved so for is it saying it is sync'ing but I don't get the usual message at the top of sync'ing 1 of 5226 or whatever that I used to.
Any tips from cyberspace?

Hi elleestgemma,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use this article to confirm that iTunes is set up to sync automatically:

Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

New computer, missing content/content won't sync with iPod

I got a new laptop and I allowed the sync between the computer and my iPod touch. However, not all my content is on iTunes anymore and neither will iTunes and iPod sync correctly. I'm afraid to erase and sync because I've already lost a lot of content off iTunes. What do I do? Plus, I just bought music off of iTunes with my iPod sync'd to my computer and it still won't sync the new music to my iPod. ???

I'm glad that just moving the music library worked for you. When I moved my library, it didn't work automatically as you indicated. When I synced may nano to the new computer with the recently moved itunes library, a message came up asking if I wanted to erase everything on my nano and sync with this new computer. I checked yes and it synced without any problem. However, for some reason the same message didn't come up when I tried to do the same with my iphone. I only synced after I found the sync tab and checked the box that said it was ok to erase the phone's music in order to sync it to the new computer. I think I know why the message came up automatically with my nano but not the iphone. I initially connected my phone to itunes on the new laptop before I had the music library moved over. When the message asked if I wanted to erase the phone and sync with the itunes, which was blank, I said no. I think that is why I had to manually check the "yes" box to sync my phone with the laptop after the music files were moved.
All that matters is that it is working now and I didn' have to make an appt with a "genius" at an apple store for them to show me how to check the box.

ITunes won't sync with ipod classic, keeps asking for authorization

I have a brand new Macbook Air. I transfered my iTunes library from my old mac to the new one. However, some songs weren't on the old computer, they were only on the iPod classic.
When I try to sync the iPod classic, it tells me 539 songs aren't on the new computer, should it sync? I say yes. Then it says that the computer is no longer authorized. I fill in the authorization with the correct userid and password (it comes prefilled with a very strange userid that I've never seen before.)
It tries to sync, then I get the same message, that the computer is no longer authorized.
I'm assuming there's a certificate or cookie some place that's out of wack -- can you tell me where it is and I can go delete it?
Thanks
PS. I was able to successfully sync my iPod Nano to the new computer without this issue at all. Then again, it didn't have any songs on it that weren't already on the new computer. I haven't tried syncing my iPod Mini to the new computer yet.

ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

TS2529 Itunes won't sync with Ipod in Windows 7 64bit

I have Windows 7 64bit Pro. I have an Apple Ipod Touch 3G. I have the latest 10.6 iTunes software 32bit version. (64 bit version too unstable.) I plug my Ipod Touch into computer, I hear the "beep" that my computer recognizes it's plugged in, but iTunes doesn't recognize it nor will it sync with it. I can't force it to sync in the iTunes menu under "File" either.

Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I think you may have to use the 64 bit version.

Mail won't sync with iPod touch 3rd gen

After I open an email on my MacBook air and view it it stays as new on my iPod after I open the mail app there. But if I view it on my ipod first than any action will sync with the mail app on my MacBook. How do I get it to sync both ways?

What does i couldn't play it anymore mean?
Does it just doesnt do anything when you select the song?
Does it give an error playing the song`?

My iTunes won't sync with iPod

I just found out that my hard drive is partitioned and I moved all of the music from my C drive to the D drive and now when I open up iTunes it doesn't have any of my play lists or any of the music.
So I imported it all back into the iTunes music library manually but none of the play lists are there any more and now when I connect my iPod or iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognize them and says "this iPod is synced with another account already." Then asks if I want to erase the info on the iPod and replace it with the iTunes library, but that will erase all of my play lists and pictures and everything else...
Is there any help out there for me???
Rick

Hey, Thanks for the response. I have already done that. I changed the location of the music files per the directions on the support website, but even after that when I connect my iPod to my computer it doesnt recognize the iPod and it keeps saying that the ipod is assigned to another computer. So, I think there are some files that I didn't move over when I transfered the original iTunes files from my C drive to my D drive and I don't know how to fix that.

Songs won't sync with iPod Video

I have a new iPod Video 60GB. I just downloaded Tom Petty's Greatest Hits. The songs appear in iTunes under "Purchased" and in my iTunes library. But they will not copy to my iPod.
I installed the iPod Updater 2006-06-28. I have the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5.20. The iPod appears in iTunes with the 3500+ other songs in my library. But the 18 songs I just downloaded WILL NOT UPDATE TO MY IPOD!!!
Guys... I live in Costa Rica. Banda ancha is a ***** here. When I download music, I want it now!!! Do you have any idea how long a 57MB update for an iPod takes to download on ISDN??!!! HELP!!!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

I transferred my iTunes library/songs to new windows laptop; new laptop won't sync with iPod classic anymore - should I just overwrite iPod contents?

Need help syncing new laptop/iTunes with existing iPod

Carolyn - thanks, but I had already authorized my new laptop. When I try to Sync, essentially nothing happens - for about a second iTunes says it's synchronizing my iPod, which it recognizes as mine, but then the iPod immediately says it's ready to disconnect. The iPod has about 65 gigabytes of songs on it and for several years, with my old, original laptop, when I synced, iTunes would update any new downloads and playlists onto the iPod. Since I got the new laptop, I have about 2-3 GB of new music on it and a few new playlists and they won't update to my iPod. I hate to have to "restore" the iPod, which I think overwrites everything on the iPod and would likely take 3-4 hours at the 1 song per second figure I've seen quoted, but if that's the only way to do it, I guess I can. Any other suggestions?

Itunes will not upgrade, won't sync with ipod

One day everything was fine, the next day, when I tried to synch my 80G ipod classic, error msg said I needed version 7.6 or newer. I tried to download version 7.7, it says I need to check with system administrator. (that would be me). What gives? It used to be fine. I can still add music to my library, but cannot synch them to ipod. Also, for awhile I couldn't open itunes until I removed quicktime then downloaded version 7.7 of itunes (with quicktime). Now I can open itunes, but still no upgrade or synch. Any ideas. I think apple screwed up big time

I tried uninstalling itunes. It won't allow it. Says older version is preventing it.
What's the precise text of your error messages please? In particular are any of them mentioning an iTunes.msi file?

Address Book won't sync with iPod

When I try to sync my Address Book to my iPod I get an error message something like "Your Address Book is empty. Would you like to open Address Book and start entering some contacts?" If I click "Yes" Address Book opens and all 600+ of my contacts are there in living color.
My iCal calendars all sync to my iPod just fine.
Now here's the interesting part. If I back-up my Address Book and import my contacts into another Mac (I used a MacBook Pro for this experiment) and then connect my iPod to the other Mac, then sync my Address Book, all 600+ contacts sync to the iPod perfectly.
What is going on with my Mac that is NOT allowing the AB sync? Are there some preferences I need to trash or something?

I have had same problem since I got my nano 2 months ago. At least with latest firmware update, when you DO see Contacts they contain their complete Notes! I have tried using iTunes sync to sync my full AddressBook with 900 entries, but this routinely failed to load any more than 600 entries with message saying so. Calendar has been even more problematic until I created a sub-view of my full calendar with just the prior 1 month and future 2 months event entries; then at least I could see the Calendar - but NEVER after immediately a sync, only after i reset the Nano. And finally I have used iPDA (ZappTek) to transfer News, RSS feeds, Weather updates for cities, & selected Documents and these too transfer completely (as inspection of the iPod as Disk shows), but needs a full reset to get them to show. Even then when you first highlight the "Notes" menu option you see it display "No Notes" but then when you click/select it, it starts "Loading them with a counter: sometimes the count is complete, sometimes it "aborts" and then you can only see some of the notes you loaded. I view this as a bug. I believe that the Nano is indexing these entries and either completes it or aborts, for an unknown "bug" reason. The ZappTek developer suggested there is a definite RAM (not storage) limitation in the Nano which prevents the Nano from handling very large sets of entries, but I should think a software update might be able to fix this by not trying to load everything at once.
Hope this helps.
