"Send to iPod ... your movie will be compressed"-- copy or original ?

I like to save 10 minutes or more when sharing a work-in-progress to my iPhone, but it's hard to interpret what "your movie will be compressed" actually means.
The project itself ?, or merely the "copy" that ends up in iTunes ?
I've been creating a copy of the project first thing, before any sharing or compression and such, but am I wasting 10 minutes or more on an unnecessary step ?
Does the sharing alter the original project in any way ?

Hi
"Sharing/Exporting to iDVD" - from iMovie up to version HD6 has had two bad effects
in my experience. Especially if it contains photos and No Ken-Burn effect are applied.
• DVD - result is very pixelated - near useless
• ORIGINAL iMovie project is harmed - all photos has to be re-imported and re-edited
to mend the project
I Export out as full Quality QuickTime to be used in iDVD.
So - Share/Export can at least in this case influence original iMovie project !
Why not on export to iPod
BUT - I used that one and never observed this effect - may be not looking for it.

If I send my iPod in, what will happen to my hard drive?

My iPod mini broke last year, and I sent it in, hoping it would get replaced with the hard drive getting transferred. Instead, I got a new iPod with an empty hard drive. That wasn't a problem then, but there's a lot of music on the hard drive now that I've deleted off my computer and can't get again. Anyway, my battery is dead. I was told that if my battery is dead, I should check the box marked "replace whole unit." I got the box to send it in, but I'm wondering if my hard drive will disappear again. Is there any way for that not to happen?

Hi Sluggo1, and Welcome to Discussions!
You should use a third party utility to copy the songs to your computer and back them up to CDs. Search Google or versiontracker.com for an application that will do the job.

Your movie will play in 8 hours 32 minutes...

For the lastt wo weeks or so, it has been taking an increasingly long time to load content in my Apple TV. Help. I routinely get messages like the one in my subject line, telling me how long it will take to load a movie or tv show. It ends up not taking that long to load, but it's still taking a very long time. Is this a function of my internet speed and maybe a problem to address with my provider, or is it possibly directly caused by Apple TV? Any suggestions woul dbe appreciated here.

provide info about if the movie is hd or sd and how fast your internet connection is
with this page you can measue the internet speed

if you have the speed and the size of the movie it's pretty easy to calculate how long it should take to download it

Getting your Movies of any type onto Your iPod (and Quicktime)

I have just bought a 60gb iPod Video, when i bought this i was under the immpression that you tell it what movies you want on your ipod and it does it for you...WRONG...iPod almost has it geered that you have to buy their movies. I have spent several days investigating how to get any type of movie onto these iPod Videos. I have been succesful in everything except i still have 1 problem and thats why i am typing this right now. Lets take 1 senario at a time, first say you have a .mov or ANY file that OPENS and PLAYs in quicktime; if you have a file that opens and PLAYS (yes there are some that open but refuse to play) in quicktime you are set. All you have to do is (i think you have to have quicktime pro 7) go to file, export and export it to wherever you want and make sure you are exporting it as a MPEG4 file (the only type that is compatible with your iPod video) once you have exported as an MPEG 4 (takes a while) all you have to do is drag it into iTunes and its ready to be put on your iPod. NOW the problem is with the movies or video that wont Play or open in quicktime (which are most files (ex. AVI,WMV,....and the list goes on)OKKK some of these files will open in quicktime but not play in quicktime (AVI) so when you export them all you get is a white movie...and then ofcourse the rest of these files wont even open. FOR THE FILES THAT OPEN but dont play, quicktime suggests a codec, which i have yet to find (IF ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS OS PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW). So untill i find that codec i still have the problem of getting all this stuff to play on Quicktime. Now everyone will say just get a converter that converts AVI to MOV. Can't get of those that works either. So pretty much if i can find somthing that will convert stuff to .MOV then i , and everyone else, can put jjust about ANY MOVIE they want on their ipod. SOOOO please if you have a converter that puts stuff in .mov then please respond to this forum, or if you know a different way. Because i am just plain stuck. Thank You

Welcome to the discussions, Christopher!
You have a PERFECT understanding of the situation and have demonstrated what has always been one of QuickTime's strength's. If you have a movie in QuickTime format, it is almost trivial to get it into another QuickTime format. If QuickTime can open and Play it, then you can successfully use "Export to iPod", wait, and the resulting movie will transfer to the iPod (the exception is MPEG movies which are a special case since they're not track based, they're multiplexed).
The problem comes in attempting to get all of the myriad nonstandard formats created on the Windows side of things for YEARS (usually for the transmission of movies over the internet) into the QuickTime standard. Some of those have QuickTime codecs, some don't and have to go through an in-between step and some have codecs but are buggy. For most cases, the QuickTime DivX plugin may work, in other cases you may need 3ivx or need to use a different program that understands non-standard video and how to compress it directly to MPEG4 (VIdeora).
It's a pain for now because there's so much nonstandard video out there, but, with the growth of more programs geared to creating standard video, the future shouldn't be as prickly

I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
I have already tried the following...
1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.

There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

I have an ipod that originally was connected to imac. Imac died and have itunes library on ipod.. How can I get the music off ipod and onto windows based laptop?

Yes. A Windows PC cannot read or write to a Mac formatted iPod. There are a handful of programs out there that will allow you to use the Mac formatted iPod with Windows so you can copy your content over to your new iTunes library. One such utility is XPlay.

My movies will play on my iPod but not my computer

I've purchased a few movies in iTunes (2 Days in Paris, Inglourious Basterds) that play fine on my iPod—and have bought television shows that play on both my iPod and Macbook—however the movies that I have purchased on my iTunes won't play on my computer. This is the computer on which I bought the movies and I am using the most current version of iTunes. A screenshot shows up in "Now Playing" but I otherwise get a black box where the movie should play (screengrab attached). Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it?

I'm having the same problem. All suggested fixes from Apple have not worked. I get the same picture in the corner, and the menu screen will show up too and play music, show the screen shot in the corner for each of the scenes, but no movie will play. I'm at my wits end -- I hope someone has a new fix to try.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

My iPod touch 4g will not sync for anything!

I got my iTouch this January and have had horrible problems with it since about a month after I got it.
The first problem I had was that certain songs go silent partway through, but the sound starts again about 30 seconds later. It always happens at the same time in the same songs. I could fix it by removing the songs from my iPod and then re-syncing them, but it would keep popping up and was really annoying. Songs that I've never had a problem with before will all of a sudden skip. Because some of my friends have had the same issue, I didn't think it was worth calling Apple.
Shortly after, I started getting an error message each time I opened iTunes. It says "iTunes was unable to collect data class information from Sync Services." I looked this up online and tried syncing the iPod on a different USB port as well as on a powered USB add-on. Nothing helped. It didn't seem to affect my iPod at all, so I didn't worry too much about it.
About a week ago, I got back from a trip and plugged my iPod in to charge while I went to sleep. When I unplugged it in the morning, it had a full charge, but said that there was no music on the iPod. iTunes said that there was music on the iPod. I tried to sync it multiple times, but I would get different error messages that said that the iPod could not be synced. Because it had helped me before with other iPods, I tried to restore my iPod. It partially restored it, but then I got an error message saying that it could not be restored. I tried to restore it multiple times and got different error messages. I reinstalled iTunes twice, but it didn't help.
At this point, I got really frustrated and called Apple. They were helpful and said that, since I'd already been through all the troubleshooting, I could just send in my iPod for free at a UPS store. I was under the impression that I would get a new or refurbished iPod from the same generation as mine. I got my same iPod back two days later with a note that said there was no issue with my iPod. They had finished restoring it, and didn't charge me (thank God!).
Feeling hopeful, I plugged it in to iTunes and got my regular error message (iTunes was unable to collect data class information from sync services). When it tried to sync, I got an error message again. It seemed like the iPod would randomly quit syncing and go to the home screen in the middle of a sync, since the error message was sometimes that the iPod was disconnected. Sometimes after an error message, iTunes would freeze up, so I used ctrl+alt+del to shut it down from the Task Manager. Next I tried syncing the iPod to my dad's iTunes on a different user, but I got the same error messages. I tried syncing with no music, and it worked. I tried syncing with apps and without music, but none of the apps would sync. I also tried syncing music without apps, but got the same error messages as before. I went online and read some forums, and discovered that when iTunes is in use, the iPod does not show up in My Computer. I have no idea what to do next.
As a 15 year old, I have no money and my parents aren't exactly excited to buy me a new iPod or any expensive Apple accessories. I spent all my Christmas money on this iPod, and have spent hundreds in iTunes, so I feel entitled to my $250 worth (I only got 8 gigs), as well as the over $600 of allowance I've been spending in iTunes since the iPod Mini I got in the 4th grade. Come on, I haven't even had it for 7 months yet!
Also:
I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. (I downloaded iTunes in 64 bit, but in the Task Manager, it says iTunes.exe *32)
My dad and I both also have iPod Nano 3gs, and neither get error messages or syncing problems at all.
My iPod is not jailbroken. I don't get illegal music, only iTunes.
The screen isn't broken. It has no scratches on it since I keep it in a case.
Nothing has ever spilled on it, and I'm sure of this because the water indicators are still white.
I know this is really long, but I didn't want to leave out any details that could be important. I think it also demonstrates the extensive amount of problems I've had. If anyone else has had any problems like this, please comment. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

Hi,
Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
Thanks!

Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.

"Send to iPod ... your movie will be compressed"-- copy or original ?
