Some video purchased in iTunes won't load on 60GB iPod

Upgraded software & iPod yesterday. Have purchased several seasons of TV shows (Weeds & others). Before update could see all video. Since the update iTunes shows the video playlists selected for syncing. Cannot find any episode) of Weeds on iPod anywhere in video section, although I saw the episodes being synced in status bar during update. I CAN see the other seasons OK.
Suggestions? Have already de/re-authorized computer w/o incident and can watch individual episodes in iTunes on computer... just not iPod.

I had the same problem after upgrading iTunes to 7.0 and iPod to 1.2. All my music is still on my iPod, as well as my music videos, but all the TV shows I have in iTunes are not showing up on my iPod. My iTunes has 11 shows currently, my iPod used to have all 11, but not only contains 5. One thing I did notice is the five shows still on my iPod are episodes I have not watched with my iPod to date. The other 6 I did watch using my iPod. Could there be some licensing issue with the latest update to my iPod software restricting having the shows on the iPod after viewing them? What if I want to watch the shows again on my iPod? Please note: I have not unchecked the shows to restrict tranferring them to my iPod. How can I get all my episodes back onto my iPod?

Video Purchased from iTunes won't play on iPhone 3G

I am using a 3G iPhone, and have been able to synchronize all of my music and videos successfully to the iPhone up until now. Here is the problem, and related steps/issues:
1. I have the series, Mad Men, purchased on iTunes. The episodes appear perfectly on my iPhone. (Note: I also have several of my own videos uploaded to my iPhone, and they play just fine).
2. When I choose an episode to watch on the iPhone, I get the following message:
"This movie could not be played."
3. The same message appears for EVERY episode I have.
4. The episodes play perfectly on iTunes, with no problems.
5. My music is synced perfectly, and plays perfectly. Most of the music on my iPhone was purchased on iTunes as well.
I can't find any explanation or solution as to why this is suddenly happening, with no way to resolve this.

OK, so I just went synchronized another video that was purchased on iTunes. The same exact message appears when I attempt to play the video.
The bizarre part here is that the videos I have made play absolutely fine; in other words, videos NOT purchased on iTunes are playing fine.
Also, the problem was encountered yesterday. I was able to view the videos; a few hours later, when I went back to watch the videos, the problem started then.

The songs I just purchased on iTunes won't sync with my iPod Nano?

I just purchased a couple songs from iTunes. I can't sync those songs onto my iPod Nano. I am using my iPod's second computer. I think I've tried everything! Am I screwed or just stupid?

Make sure you have selected all ones (or playlists, artists, or however you organize them) for syncing in iTunes.
Attach you device to your computer; select it in the Devices list; in the main iTunes window, select the Muic tab ang check your selections/options.

Itunes won't load after purchasing Quick time Pro

I purchased QuickTime Pro and now my itunes won't load. My version is 7.6.9. I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes. I have tried this repeatedly but no luck. any suggestions?

I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes.
That suggests that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Movie purchased in iTunes won't play. Audio is fine; video doesn't appear.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

ITunes won't load the songs from purchased music CDs

When loading purchased music CDs, the CD loads but iTunes won't load the songs. Error message: "The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for the file." I'm using an iMac PPC G4 with 768 MB RAM and OS 10.4.11 with iTunes 4.7.1. If I copy the songs into a folder I can push them into the iTunes library but these are huge AIFF files with no info and the machine can't (won't) transfer them into AAC files.

To what format are you trying to convert? What settings are you using? Has this just started or is this the first time trying this? I really don't know what the limitations are for iTunes 4.7. I thought I was being a luddite in sticking with 7.5....
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max.

Trouble transferring videos purchased in iTunes to video iPod

I found this to be a bit curious. I just purchased the White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" video in iTunes (along with 4 other music videos from other bands), and I was unable to transfer the file to my video iPod (the other four videos transferred without problem). The message said that it could not be played on this iPod. Is this a widespread or unique problem? I thought all videos purchased on iTunes were compatible with the video iPod, if not, is there a way to determine this before purchasing? Is there a way to solve this problem without purchasing additional software?

Unhelpful boilerplate response from the iTunes customer service team below. I have all of the updates (for iTunes & video iPod) and still no luck. I've even done the restore to factory settings thing, and also, no luck.
Has anybody else encountered this quirk (see my original question) and managed to work around it without purchasing any additional software?
From iTunes customer service:
Dear Customer,
We're sorry you're having trouble transferring music to your iPod. Here are
some resources that might help resolve this issue.
If you have never transferred songs to your iPod before, read this short
article to get started:

iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

walk you through the process:

ITunes Won't Load on Windows 7

ITunes won't load since the last update. I tried updating to the new beta version, and it still won't load. I have lost my contacts on my iPhone and now I can't load iTunes. I do have another computer running an older version of iTunes and would like to transfer my contacts file to the older computer and then sync my iPhone to that computer. Can someone please help me with transfering my contacts file to the other computer? It would be nice if iTunes would load on this computer, the one I use all the time but it seems this problem is not being addressed. Do Apple personnel only address these problems if you pay them for support, or do they fix their software and help their customers? Here is the error message I get, and as you can see, iTunes is not loading, just giving the error message:
The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.
Program: iTunes
Publisher: Apple Inc.
Process Identifier (PID): 4652
Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running.
iTunes never starts after this message. I've checked Windows Task Manager to see what programs are running. I've tried using the iTune comaptibility option but that didn't change anything. iTunes has always worked, now nothing. Nothing happens when I plug in my iPhone, or when I start iTunes. I just want my contacts, that's all!!! I had always thought I was safe because I always backed up my phone -- boy was i wrong.

It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.

In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.

Itunes won't load CDs automatically and I have to restart it everytime to load 1 CD. I have ensured I have latest Itunes, latest DVD driver, start itunes from program library in safe mode but nothing works. Any ideas ?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Videos and other graphics won't load

Videos and certain graphics won't load. I've cleared my cache, cleared cookies, and restarted in safe mode without addons. Nothing seems to work. It's a Firefox issue - things load in other browsers just fine.
Windows 7 ultimate, Firefox 6.0.1

Did this just start recently? Since you are running Firefox 6, I don't think it's due to a change in Firefox, but it could be related to a Flash player update. There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

ITunes won't load library from external HDD.

I'm a DJ in Miami. I have 1TB+ of music. I have it in my HDD that I've used for months with my Macbook Pro Retina. For some reason I opened iTunes a couple days ago before a gig & my HDD wasn't loaded to the library. I went into the preferences & chose my HDD again but when I click apply it just closes the window & nothing happens. My music & playlists won't show up. Everything is still on my HDD so I know that's not it. I even formatted my Macbook & installed a fresh copy of Mavericks hoping that would solve it but it won't work. I have a backup HDD as well but iTunes won't load it either.

I think if you are using iTunes in a semi-professional capacity you need to learn how it works:

You will normally only have one .itl file. It is the library file, along with a smattering of support files and folders. Most of your files are just media files but it's the .itl that gives it all structure. The reason I can't answer your question is most people don't understand "library" has a specific meaning in iTunes. It isn't just media, it's the whole lot working together. Now some people split their library and keep the main files on the main drive, and media on the external. Better is to keep it all together, either on internal or external.
You should have a .itl file somewhere. Conceivably if your drive is corrupt or something weird happened then it might be gone. That's what backups are for. If nothing else you should have old copies of the library fro when you last upgraded iTunes. Did you do a spotlight search?
If your library file is really gone then you will have to build it again:

Burning a DVD with m4v music videos purchased from iTunes

Instead of buying Apple TV, I would like to burn a DVD with my collection of music videos purchased on iTunes. Most of them are Protected MPEG-4 video files, having the extension .m4v
My question what I need to do to burn a DVD with these files, without loosing the quality and maintaining the video's aspect ratio? I don't mind to upgrade my iDVD programme to the version of 2008 and QuickTime to the version of Pro, if that will help to resolve my problem. Currently iDVD 6 does not support the protected m4v files, hence I can't burn them into a DVD for watching on TV screen. Your advice is highly appreciated.

This is from the Terms of Service page for iTunes. The bottom line is that you can't burn the videos to DVD.

ITunes won't load after windows update

Just did the latest automatic backup in Windows 7, and noe iTunes won't load. It keeps "checking" my library then I get a Windows message that iTunes is shutting down.

So many different issues,
Hopefully it will be fixed soon

ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

Hello Aristoph,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:
