Some Video works on iPod, some not

Just got 60GB iPod, 5th gen. The only video files that transfer to from iTunes to iPod are files purchase or downloaded from iTunes Music Store. Files that I have converted in QT Pro using the 'Export for iPod' function will not show up. Looking at the material posted on this website, my files seem to meet the requirements. Any thoughts?

Files that I have converted in QT Pro using the 'Export for iPod' function will not show up
By this, do you mean that the files you created do not automatincally "show up" in the iTunes Library? If so, then be advised that QT Pro does not automatically mount the converted files to iTunes. Instead, it saves the file to the location specified or defaulted to under the file name in the "Export" window. However, if double-clicked, this file will automatically open iTunes, add the file to the iTunes Library, and start to play the file in the iTunes Player.

Some videos go onto iPod, some don't. SAME VIDEO SETTINGS for all.

The bold was for those who might suppose I just have the wrong compression settings. No offense.
I used the page from Ken Stone about converting SD DV to iPod compatible videos, and I have a batch of mp4s with the h264 decoder, aac audio, 441, 320x240 (except for one 16x9 video), and all the other correct settings. I know this because the auto iPod updater took 2 of my videos, but not the remaining 13.
My itunes, quicktime, os, and ipod software are all up to date, and I have 44.67 gb available on my ipod.
Any ideas out there? I've restarted (both powermac and itunes), refreshed the update for the ipod. Nothing changes. They all play fine with the same compression settings in QT using the movie info function. Help!!!
Thanks in advance.

i figured it out.

Some items on my ipod are not backed up - why?

I want to reset my ipod touch because when I listen to music, the music tends to cease at random...the display shows that the tune is playing, but no sound comes out. Also, some of the tunes seem to have their names incorrectly matched to the music, despite being OK when I check them in Itunes. But when I try to reset the ipod, it says some items on the ipod are not backed up and will be lost. But it gives me no way to find out what items are not backed up, nor how to make them become backed up. So my backup is jacked up! How do i fix this so I can at least try a reset in hopes that it might fix the problem of the music randomly stopping?

This is going to sound dumb, but humor me, when was the last time you backed up your iPod? Before you try backing up try this: a Soft Reset, press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds +/-, then release both buttons, should not cause you to lose anything. Or going into Setting>General>Reset and tapping Reset All Settings, should not effect photos in camera roll or music, may cause you lose some contacts or email content. If you are thinking of doing a Restore make sure you backup anything you do not wish to wipe to your computer before starting a Restore from backup or a Restore to new (factory restore). To make the back up connect with the cable to iTunes then go into your iPod page and go from there. Before you start resetting / Restoring have you tried unsyncing the music library from your iPod then sync again. Or deleting the music and then sync with your computer's music library? (Note any music that is not on your computer may be lost to you if you don't sync it to the computer first.) May work, may not. Hope this helps, Good luck, Cheers.

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

Videos on 5G iPod - some points

This forum seems increasingly 'choked' with problems with getting videos onto the new iPod ... just thought I would share my SUCCESSFUL experience!
To keep it brief - downloaded Handbrake, used an appropriate width resolution under picture settings i.e. 320, having detected chosen volume etc. etc. and chosen the chapter (if this bits too vague there are LOADS of other posts re using handbrake), this generated a nice .mp4 file BUT fir a while I could not load this into iTunes .... SO ....
Simply changed the file extension to .m4v, ignoring the cautionary prompts, dragged into iTunes video page and was able to play them in iTunes .... BUT ...
Couldn't actually play them on the iPod ... SO ... after much head scratching clicked on the CONSOLIDATE LIBRARY option et voila ... SUCCESS ... correctly loded onto iPod ... sounds good, looks good ... what a gadget!!!!
Hope this might help someone out there!

Find a post on here that is called "My Experience with Apple IPOD Video 60GB (Black)", you will find everything you need to answer your question here. You can use "Videora IPOD Converter" to do your video conversions of both Music & DVD Movies etc. However, before you will be able to convert a DVD Movie using the "Videora IPOD Converter", you will have to run another program against the DVD movie called a "DVD Decryptor". Do a search on google for "Videora IPOD Converter", you will find all your answers to all your questions there. I know, I use it and have Movies/Music Videos on my IPOD. Works great! Despite peoples complaints about it. I think they only complain because they don't know or do not understand how to use the software properly. I have not have a problem converting music/video's or DVD's since i've been using the software in the past 2-3 weeks since installing.

Flash video works onDreamweaver preview but not after uploaded to site

Hi,
I created a page with FW CS3 and opened it with Dream weaver.
Using Flash CS3 I created some video clips. I then inserted three
video files to the web page. In DW preview mode I can see the
videos. I copy the source code and pasted it to the index page of
my website as well as uploaded all the sit files from my hard drive
folder to the website. The page comes up but not the videos.

Search this forum for "FLASH" "UPLOAD". You'll find hundreds
of answers.

Video works on iPod, then becomes audio -- no pattern of why...

Ok, I copy my mp4 videos onto my Ipod (video 60gb) from my Windows XP computer with latest iTunes..
The videos worked fine yesterday on my iPod.. I tried to look at them today, and they were being treated as audio files..
This is not the first time this has happened to me.. The half-assed solution is to copy the videos again from the PC to the iPod and it will fix it for a day or so, but they always go back to being audio files.. And its so random that I cant trust the video to be there when I need it now... (I'm a filmmaker and its really nice to have my film trailer with me at all times)
I've tried to reset all the settings on the Ipod
Ive made sure the "TV Out" is set to "off.
Possible problems
I manually sync the iPod music..
I use the Photo's feature (which seems to be only Automatic syncing) and I've noticed that video files usually screw up and turn to audio when Photos gets updated..
But it happens other times too.. This morning I manually re-copied all my video files to my ipod, and they worked immediately after i disconected from the PC.. Later that day (without reconnecting to anything) I was tryin to show somebody my trailer today, you guessed it -- it was an audio file... It is REALLY frustrating - especially when i bought the dang thing for this specific purpose...
Any suggestions? When it works it really is a cool feature...
Thanks

James,
I'm not sure if this help you, but it help for me. I was having problems with video files on my Ipod. 95% of the time videos start fine. After 30 seconds (more or less), audio start to fail and video stop. After a couple of seconds, video resume but without audio.
After troubleshooting my Ipod (Video 60gb), even re-installing everything again, I decide to "downgrade" the firmware. Yes, I said "downgrade". After this, all videos run smoothly and with audio. No problem so far.
I use a program "Ipod Wizard" to downgrade the firmware.
What I'm telling is that maybe is not a setting problem, maybe is a firmware problem like I had.
Als, my personal recomendation is to keep all setting to auto-syncronization. Including music, photos and video files. At the beginning I uses to sync manually but a lot of problems came up.
Remember, first of all, BACK UP everything

I have videos on my ipod but not on my computer. Need to transfer...

I have accidently deleted videos from my computer but they are still on my ipod. Is there any way i can transfer the videos from my ipod back into itunes. I don't want to have to download them all again.
Windows XP

Hi, there is a solution to doing this, which is to use software such as
http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/copygear.php
The reason why this prog. over others is because
1) i have used it myself on my PC and can say that it actually works!
2) as this is the only one i have seen so far that actually says it can do videos - and it works!!!
p.s. videos may take a biy of time - obviously!!
hope this helps"""!!

Problems with integrated video files, some videos working, others not

Hello,
I have pdf files where video clips are integrated. Most of them are in the AVI container format with FFODIVX codec and without audio. These can be played within the pdf file.
I tried to convert the video clips that are not working to the same format and also to many different other codecs and combinations of codecs. But it didn't help. Some clips are just not working. Are there any additional limitations that I have to consider. Or does anybody has an idea, what the problem could be?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Daniel N

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Can't move some videos onto my ipod

I've taken some episodes of a show of a dvd, using a program called "dvd decrypter" and converted the format to mp4 using "videora ipod converter".
I use itunes to put the episodes onto my ipod, but it won't let me put some of them on and I have no idea why, I use the same process, they're the same format and size as the others, but it just says I can't put them on my ipod because it can't play them.
I even tried using the itunes to convert the files, but that didn't work, something about not being able to read the disc or something.
Can anyone shed some light on my situation?

?Do you have a problem with playback of the video?
The 60i video looks like crap when played back in iPhoto, but look good when played back in Quicktime after i saved all files to a separate folder.

Some contacts in my iPod are not showing up in Outlook 2003 after synching

iPod Touch w/ iOS 5. PC with Outlook 2003. After syncing, some of the contacts in the iPod don't show up in Outlook. Any clues? I feel pretty sure I have a setting wrong, but I can't find it!

It will import all of your exchange contacts. If any are already in iCloud they would be duplicated and you would have to go to icloud.com and manually delete them. If you still want to import them, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contests to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to backup the remaining contacts from your exchange account as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (othewise you will see duplicates of all of them).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import your exchange contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.
At this point all of your contacts should be in iCloud, and you will be syncing them with iCloud rather than your exchange account. As mentioned, you can go to icloud.com and delete any duplicates if some of your exchange contacts were already in iCloud.

Draging my music video to my ipod- its not working

i just bought a music video, but when it shows in my playlist (on the computer) there is a circled exclamation mark beside the name and the artists name is in gray. i tried to drag it over to my ipod (Users Ipod) it wont go.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP! i have been having problems with itunes and it makes me very frustrated!

Hello AleishaPannozzo,
The circle with the exclamation mark indicates that iTunes cannot locate the actual file that is displayed in iTunes. The following article should be helpful in locating the missing file.
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
If unable to locate the file, I'd suggest redownloading the music video from the iTune Store.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
