Random Videos Can't Be Synced

I have just spent the last few weeks using HandBrake to rip the video files off my TV Season and movie DVDs and importing them into iTunes. I used the same exact rip settings for all my DVDs. There are some that are able to be synced to my Apple TV, while others result in iTunes telling me that "Video Name" was not copied because the video format is not supported by the Apple TV "Apple TV". Now, this is really strange because all of my videos are the EXACT SAME video format. The only difference I can see is a few kbps in the total bit rate and a different video dimension...
*Specs of a file that WILL sync:*
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Bit Rate: 159 kbps
Profile: Low Complexity
Channels: Stereo
Encoded With: HandBrake 0.9.2 2008
Total Bit Rate: 1159 kbps
Video Dimensions: 853x356

*Specs of another file that WILL sync:*

*Specs of a file that WILL NOT sync:*
Kind: MPEG-4 video file

Encoded With: HandBrake 0.9.2 2008
Total Bit Rate: 1154 kbps

As you can see, there isn't much of a difference in the files that will and will not sync. I know that the files aren't corrupt because iTunes has no problem playing them, it just can't seem to sync it. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

I set ATV as the default format for Handbrake, maybe you have not and used the pre-set or some other format. I always check and not assume that ATV is the default format. I've encoded 300+ times using HB 092 and have only experienced this problem once because I used the wrong format. That was in the initial stages of using HB.

  • Can not transfer/sync movies created on my 3Gs!

    Here is my situtation. I am using the latest version of iTunes. All my music sync's no problem. I created a few video's on my 3Gs but they do not sync over to iTunes. How can I force the sync? Is there a setting that I need to look for to make sure all video's sync? Also, what is the name of the folder the video's are sync to?
    Thank you all for your assistance.

    The videos, like pictures taken with iphone are not synced. You import them as you would a picture from the digital camera.
    Page 106 of the manual:
    "Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer
    You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on
    your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.
    Upload images to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.
     Mac: Select the photos you want and click the Import or Download button in
    iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
     PC: Follow the instructions that came with your camera or photo application.
    If you delete the photos and videos from iPhone when you upload them to your
    computer, they’re removed from the Camera Roll album. You can use the iTunes
    Photos setup pane to sync photos back to the Photos application on iPhone. Videos
    can’t be synced back to iPhone, however. See “iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes” on

  • I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

    I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
    This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
    video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

    If you have an Iphone, you should have intunes. When you get itunes you could sync things onto your device. When you are done syncing, go to photos in order to veiw it, and go to Ipod to see your videos.
    See if that will help!

  • Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)

    Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)?

    If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter.  Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
    When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

  • IPod not recognized by PC or iTunes - can no longer sync iPod

    I had to shut down my PC due to a storm and I didn't realize that my iPod was still connected with the message "do not disconnet". Now my PC does not recognize my iPod. I've tried resetting it, uninstalling/reinstalling the driver and the iTunes application, as well as a new USB cable. Nothing works. Any thoughts? Help...please...thanks~

    I have similar problems with my ipod classic (I sync my ipod with my macbook). Every so often it will give me an error saying I disconnected my ipod before unmounting it (even though I did not disconnect it or tried to unmount it). This also happend on my PC running Win 7.
    This error message appears to happen randomly when the ipod is syncing with iTunes. I just bought my ipod probably about a month ago and this happend about four times so far. In fact, it just happend a few minutes ago and I am reloading all of my data on it right now. My old ipod (which was stolen a few weeks back) never had this much of a problem.
    The first time this happend (and after a few days of trial and error) I reformatted my ipod in FAT32, enable disk mode, then reformat again in HFS+ using itunes and syncing all of my data (the order of operations is important).
    Sometimes I just had to restore the factory settings using iTunes without reformatting. Other times I had to enable disk mode and reformat HFS+ filesystem, skipping the FAT32 format.
    I had to shut down my PC due to a storm and I didn't realize that my iPod was still connected with the message "do not disconnet". Now my PC does not recognize my iPod.
    I don't think this caused your problem because Windows unmounts (or ejects) all disks (including your ipod) from the computer before turning off. I am assuming you are turning off your computer using the start menu in Windows.
    POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
    A possible solution is to put the ipod in disk mode (this is sort of like a safe mode for the ipod), connect it to your computer and let iTunes reformat. You will lose all of your data and settings but you can always change the settings back and resync.
    The apple website has directions on how to enable disk mode then reformatting your ipod.
    link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    Once you put it in disk mode, then you can let iTunes reformat and sync your data.
    You might have to reformat your ipod in disk mode more than once (I usually have to do it at least twice before I can start syncing with iTunes.
    I hope this helps.

  • Songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for

    when i plug my iPod in a message pops up and says "songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    i've read what other people have put on this topic and when i click on the music tab under my iPod nothing happens. please help!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

  • EDUCATION:  Updated to new iPad iOS - can no longer sync with computer

    I recently updated all of my class iPads (36) to the new iOS.
    Now I can no longer sync them with the ONLY computer they have ever been sync'd with.  I get a message that the iPad is "now associated" with another device (which it is NOT).  I have never used Absolute App Manager, etc, just used VPP to sync.
    HELP please.
    Thank you
    =(

    Hi KChanOHS,
    Hmmm… that is strange. Are you using the latest version of iTunes on your computer? If not, update it. Did you restore any backups from iCloud on any of these? Maybe with a different account?
    I would troubleshoot this iTunes similar to how I would troubleshoot Apple Configurator… on a Mac OS X computer I would confirm that I'm logged on to the computer (not just iTunes) with the same account used when I set up the iPads… I would check file and folder permissions in my home directory to make sure I had read/write access to everything under /Users/<yourusername>… maybe even run a permissions repair using Disk Utility to make sure everything with the OS is running properly… beyond that, I don't know what else to try. I'd be tempted to back everything up, wipe the iPads clean, and start over. I knot that's not a "good" option, but if I could no longer sync I'd be tempted to start over.
    On another note, we are coming up on summer vacation for students which is a good time to reevaluate processes and make changes. I often make a list of things I want to change with my deployment and implement them during school breaks. I recommend using Apple Configurator instead of iTunes to manage your classroom set of iPads. It is designed to manage multiple iPads whereas iTunes is more designed for a single user/device. Here are some links:

  • Cannot manually manage music and videos without erasing and syncing first

    I have an iPhone 3G bought new from the Apple store using 2.1. Using iTunes 8.0 and checking the "Manually manage music and video" checkbox, iTunes prompts me to "Erase and Sync", no other option is available to me. It was the same when using version 7.7 as well.
    I'm not syncing to another computer, it's the same MacBook I've had for almost a year. How do I get the Library Persistent ID in iTunes to match the iPhone. I have the ID from the iTunes Music Library.xml file. I just need to know where the matching file for the iPhone is so I can make them match.
    The ID doesn't match because I had to rebuild my drive a month ago and my question to Apple (actually Steve) is why can't I sync the other way from the phone to the computer.
    Why does my library on the phone have to be wiped out. Who had the warped thought to come up with this genius idea.

    I cannot express how disappointing this was for me to find out.
    I want my music to be mobile, I don't want to have to copy it to every computer I want to listen to it on. I want to listen to it from the device, and be able to buy a new album at work or at home. This is a major disappointment for me, as every other device I have owned including my iPod Touch had this capability. I could authorize 5 machines and manually sync, and the music on that device could be played and managed on those authorized machines. For example, my wife has her own music collection, and I have mine, but we have a media center connected to our flat-screen in the living room, that we use for playing music when we are entertaining guests, and with our old iPods and iPod Touch devices, we could unplug one of our devices and plug the other persons in and listen to music from both our libraries without copying the music to that computer, as long as we authorized that machine for the both of us. Now with our iPhones there is no way to keep our seperate librarys and be able to play music on multiple computers in our house and at work, which we have always been able to do until our iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone for me was to be able to combine two devices and now because of the lack of this feature I still have to keep all our iPods around too... Dumb. I almost took our phones back because of this, and if apple doesn't fix it, I probably won't buy another. They should have at least mentioned this little fact before selling the devices to us. I know it's a different device, but it's similar enough that you expect it to work the same as the iPod and iPod Touch. It's not like I am wanting to be able to copy music from the device to multiple machines, it's exactly the opposite... I just want to be able to copy music to the device and listen to it at home and at work... why all apples other devices do this, and the iPhone doesn't is completely perplexing to me, and a serious oversight on there part. This pill would not be so hard to swallow if I had been warned about this prior to dropping almost a grand for iPhones for myself and my wife, expecting what I saw as a more advanced device to work at least as good as the other similar devices I own did.

  • Video & Audio out of sync after update

    Ever since I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite v10.10 last week, all videos are out of sync with the audio. It wasn't just on Safari while playing YouTube videos or DailyMotion videos, but also when playing videos files on my computer. For short videos, the audio is just a second ahead or behind the video, but for long films it can be minutes apart.
    Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what caused this and how can it be solved? Thanks so much!!!

    I have the same issue and it started 3 days ago. This happens with anything I'm watching, netflix, huluplus, youtube, crackle, anything that has audio and video. The biggest issue is that it's also affecting iMovie and Final Cut pro X. This is a MAJOR issue given that I make a living editing video. I hope somebody can find a solution for this issue.

  • I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

    I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
    Happy New Year

    New entry in this forum. I have this K900 phone and i think its an amazing piece or art. But not without its problems though. A perennial issue is when I am playing a video file, initially it plays smoothly but eventually the audio and video are not in sync. Dragging the slider left and right or pausing and playing agian only worstens the issue.
    Have any body ever faced such issues? If yes kinldy share a solution if any.
