Slow Movie Conversion  5th Gen I-POD

Up to now, the movie conversion rate on my I-POD was rather quick. 3-4 minutes for a 25 meg Quicktime movie approximately. Now it takes a better part of a day to convert one, I get so disgusted I usually stop it before it gets halfway done. My music conversions are still as quick as ever (15-20 secs per song). Any ideas? This happened it seemed overnite. I have about 6 meg of music/movies on my 30meg pod. Thanks for any advice.

My view of this is that the conversion takes place on the computer, before it is sync'd to the iPod. It may be a problem on your PC. How much disc space do you have on your computer? If you are low, or there are a number of other programs running at the time, it would affect the processor coverting the movie.

  • TS1567 5th Gen I-Pod Touch not Syncing, does come up on PC.

    My 5th Gen I-Pod Touch no longer connects to I-Tunes, or Microsoft Sync (In my 2013 Ford Focus) through a sync cable. My computer however, does see the I-pod as a external device, and it does charge through the Sync cable.
    I have reset the I-Pod fully, and it still would not connect. I checked and the I-Pod and the version of I-Tunes is the newest version of each.
    I-Pod: 7.1.1 (11D201)
    I-Tunes 11.1.5.5
    I ran the I-Tunes Diagnostics for the Device Connectivity test, and Device Sync test both, and received the following.

    I have tried two Sync cables in both my car and Itunes, with the same results.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, 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.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen 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.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Can't Delete Movies from 5th gen iPod Touch?

    K... This is strange.  Before we headed to the Marvel Universe Live performance, my son asked me to free up some space on his 5th generation iPod touch 32gig.  So I did or at least I tried.  It didn't free up any space at all and general settings still says there's 18 movies????  I synced to iTunes and tried syncing again with no movies selected.  I then tried throwing a couple back on but it says no space. What gives?  It still thinks there on there but they don't show up except under the "About" settings.  Yes, I've already tried a hard reboot.  I just don't want to have to sit for hours while it restores.  I was going to run Disk Utility but didn't realize i can no longer do that.
    Any tips?

    OTHER
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Importing Movies to 5th Gen iPOD

  • Copying movies to 5th Gen

    My movies are going to the the E drive, can I play them from there, or do they have to be downloaded to the itunes folder?

    You can play them from anywhere. In iTunes just select "Add File to Library" from the File menu. Then browse to the file you want and add it.

  • 5th gen i-pod wont turn off URGENT please reply, REALLY WORRIED

    nothing weird happened to it, just went funny on me. will sync with computer (windows xp) however it sounds like theres some whirring noises inside it. it is playing music. I have spent a lot of time building a library through borrowing from other people and I would be devastated to lose all my music. please please help me through this SOMEONE. I am a complete dunce when it comes to computers so try to be patient.

    The latest versions of itunes have not been very stable, so I would not suggest playing music while loading into itunes. If you are not very computer literate, the best way to back up your music is to buy an external drive. They are not very expensive, less than $100 for let's say 150 gigs. I have 16,000 songs in my library and still have about 50 gigs left, so you will have plenty of room for expansion, in the future. Once you do this, all you need to do is connect the drive to your computer. Open up that drive into a half window (top right hand of screen,middle button of _ ()X . Then open the place where all of your music file are, normally the C drive, my computer, my music, and drag the entire content to your external drive. You now have a copy of all of your music. If you do not go this route, it means making a cd copy of all of your music, which you will have to re-load if you lose all of your file (as when a computer crashes). This involves doing everything again. If you have all of your files in an external drive, all you have to do is ask itunes to organize all of your music (in preferences), and the work is all done for you. Depending on which way you go, I am sure that once you do this, it you can ask, and someone will provide a step by step process, or you can ask me when you get to that point.

  • TS1425 How to delete duplicates on my I-pod 5th gen.

    After numerous times trying to delete dupicates on my 5th gen. i-pod, i'ts still not resonding

    If the music works like photos, you can not delete those placed on the iPad via iTunes sync...only those downloaded directly. So, delete from the download and not those you placed there by sync using Carolyn's suggestion.
    This took some effort to figure out what was going on when placing photos on and then syncing photos, including some dups, from iTunes.
    Hope it works the same for music.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup. Yo shld be able to make a backup if you previously syncing to this computer.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

    i have windows 7 and a2nd gen ipod touch and i just aquired an ipod classic which is a 5th gen from 2005 with a 30 gb capacity. can i download a video movie or episode and songs from the current itunes i use for my ipod touch or is there a different one i should use? please help.

    You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer.  How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
