Some videos not copied to Apple TV

Once my sync was completed, I got a prompt on the screen that said, several of my videos (it named the actually video) were not copied to apple tv because they could not be found. However when I go into iTunes and look in one of my playlists, all of my videos are right there.
I get this same exact prompt when I hook up my ipod as well. The only thing with the iPod is that it will STILL copy the video content over anyway.
These videos are Music Videos that I produced and edited with Final Cut Pro. I compressed that file using Compressor into a file that could play on iPods and cell phones. I have 8 of these videos. Only 2 of them came over to AppleTV. In iTunes I selected each video I wanted to send to Apple TV and yet only 2 got synced.
Anyone know why this is? Again all the videos are there and playback with no problems yet I get a message either when my ipod is hooked up or now my apple tv that states that "X" video could not be copied because it could not be found!
Thanks for your help.

Sounds as though you have either moved them manually, deleted them or they were perhaps referenced on an external drive which is not connected.
The entry in iTunes simply relates to a record in the database of a file that was once added - if the file is moved/renamed/deleted from outside iTunes or is on a drive no longer attached, iTunes knows where the file should be but can't find it.
Choose one of the problem files in iTunes, right click and do Get Info.
Under the summary tab the location of the files should be seen under Where.
Alternativelt if you can right click, do Show in Finder, and the file is there then maybe your database is corrupt.

Why do some videos not copy from iphone to pc?

I don't understand why some videos will not copy from my iphone 4s to my pc (win xp) when I connect iphone usb to pc using "scanner and camera wizard"? Just some of them. It doesn't matter if its 2min or 2 sec long. Just randomly says it can't copy to my pc...
why??
Also can I avoid all this if I have icloud set up on both devices?
I haven't tried because it seems that everywhere I have read and researched - icloud only pushes photos/photostream/camera roll (as well as documents, contacts, etc) But I am focused on home videos I have recorded on my iphone camera trying to get it off iphone and onto pc.
Immediate response would be SOO appreciated!

Yeah I considered that but I had so many photos & videos I attempted it this way. And I am getting some videos to copy to pc - juist not all...grrr thanks for the icloud info though,

I only want sync SOME videos, not all, is there a way to do it ?

Hello guys!
I want to sync only SOME videos, not ALL... is there a way to do it ? i tryed to did a "smart folder" with iPhoto, for select last 6 months videos, but when i try to sync to iPhone, it doesn't sync none video, the only way is selecting "incude videos" (but i wont want to, because it will sync ALL videos, i only want some of them)
Thanks!

Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

HT1351 video not copied...

i am trying to download season 5 of mad men to my ipod classic. a message pops up saying "some of the videos in your itunes library.... were not copied because they cannot be played on this ipod." help

Read this article related to your issue. You may be trying to sync the High Definition (HD) version of the TV Show to your device. The iPod classic does not support HD content. You'll want to download the SD version instead.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next toDownload HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

HT204291 Video not going to Apple TV

Using airplay I some of my video cannot be streamed to Apple TV, why?

Airplay from an Iphone 4. I got some videos to work but most of the videos I got from Itunes do not work.

Apple TV set as PAIRED, yet content does not copy to Apple TV HD

I've been chasing this for a while now. I have the itunes library set up as PAIRED (not shared) and the content is not copying over to the Apple TV HD. Movies and Music both are failing to populate the drive.
This stuff worked fine before I upgraded my OS yesterday.
I restored the Atv to factory settings, reran the update and readded it to my itunes. same thing. HELP?!
Message was edited by: Matt Meister

I went back to restoring the factory settings (before the share/pair silliness) and I can still only stream video. My audio will copy, but my video will not populate. These are purchased files from the Itunes store.
HELP!?

Youtube hd videos not available for apple tv

Hello,
I have Apple TV since Nov/2012 and just realized that Youtube HD videos are not available for Apple TV. I have a playlist in Youtube with lot of HD videos but in Apple TV all HD videos are not displayed. Anybody knows if it is some restrictions (Apple and Google) or is it some configuration that I need to do?
Thanks
André

ok, I got it...unfortunately the most of my favorite videos looks like use Flash because they are not available by Apple TV
Thank you for your comments
Cheers

Some videos not working on 60G (did not update). Hard drive issue?

Help! My Ipod hates me
Having big problems with some video files freezing up after anywhere between 30 minutes and some not able to even start. These same files worked fine a few months ago. However some movie files still work fine and all the music files still work.
When this problem happens it seems like the hard drive is trying to read the file because I can feel the ipod slightly vibrating but sometimes the video stops and sound continues and other times the whole file just stops.
Things I've tried so far:
1)restored and reset (multiple times)
2)reversed the update from 1.1 to 1.0
3)tried multiple dvd to ipod programs (cucusoft, videora, super ipod, streamclip)
4)MUX'ed with YAMB
5)tried different speeds of converting dvd to ipod
6)bought 1 hour video from itunes which works fine
7)screamed at and insulted my ipod multiple times. It didn't work but it sure felt good.
8)these same files seem to work perfectly on a friends brand new 60G ipod.
9)all movies play perfectly on my desktop with quicktime and itunes.
Maybe I'm jumping the gun here but I fear this may be a hard drive vs board issue but thought I would see if anyone else has any other suggestions or similar problems.
Ugh! As I sit here and write this I just reset (not restored) my ipod, and now all the files are gone. CRAP!
My ipod hates me.

Some videos not playing in Quicktime but WILL play on VLC Player

Hello,
All of a sudden, some of my video files will not play on Quicktime. OT reads the length of the movie but when I click play, all I get is a black screen and no sound even though the progress bar rolls per usual. When I open the videos in my VLC Player, the play just fine. This is not with all of my movies. Some movies play fine in Quicktime. Also, if this helps, Final Cut X will not recognize these movie files for import. Am using Quicktime 10.1.
Thoughts? Help? Anyone?
Thanks,
John

The .dv videos that will NOT play:
I suspect you may have a number of problems here. The first is having elementary DV and PCM audio streams in a DV stream file container. (I.e. DV/DV audio and video stream data is normally stored in the DV file container while DV/PCM data is normally wrapped in the MOV file container.) The second problem is the fact that the DV video seems to be missing the aspect ratio "aware" information. As you can see from the playing file, the format line should read either
720 x 480 (640 x 480)
or
720 x 480 (853 x 480)
Based on this, I am wondering how old this file may be and/or how it was captured. (I.e., the playback problem may be due to file container not being compatible with the QT X player which, in fact, relies on an embedded aspect ratio parameter rather than the QT 7 embedded "Current Size" setting and is not expecting PCM audio to be contained in a DV stream file container.
These videos are older (almost 10 years old) and they were edited in iMovie HD.
In addition, there is a question (at least for me) as to whether the DV video streams are embedded sequentially or as alternative video tracks. (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, please post a copy of the "Properties" window.
Installed QT 7 and videos play fine. No issues. I don't have QT7 Pro.
Not sure if this will work, but if I had a copy of the non-playing file, the first thing I would try would be to open the file in MPEG Streamclip and re-save the data to a "real" MOV file container to see if it would then be playback compatible with the QT X player app.
Tried Streamclip and it will save as MOV but the size changes (from 640x480 to 720x480 and I get a stretched look. OT X will play it however. Tried to "export" using differrent formats but with mixed results. Sometimes I got sound but no video. I will continue to fiddle with settings but it doesn't seem like a reliable path to go down.
Could I be missing the codec component? Is there a way to check?
Not very likely if any files play have the same video compression format. Had the non-playing files been encoded with one of the HD DV codecs, then yes, that might have been a possibility whould could have been checked.
Would your answer be the same now that we know QT7 plays the videos without any issues?
Exported out to a .dv file. Format exact same as the working one above. Plays fine.
Of course. You exported the audio and video as a DV compressed data in DV stream file container. Thus, both the file format and compression format are now QT X compatible.
The container is a .dv. I did rename it to .mov at one point to see if that helped but got the same result.
Of course. Changing the file extension is like calling a cup of coffee a glass of coffee—i.e., the coffee is still in a cup. Basically, this only works if the data in the container is already compatible with the file container and the container is compatible with the player. For instance, H.264/AAC compressed data will play in either QT 7 or QT X players whether it is in an MOV, MP4, or M4V file container. On the other hand, "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 data won't play in the QT X v10.2 player with a VOB file extension but will play if you change the extension to TS or MPG. On the other hand, the VOB or MPG file (with the QT MPEG-2 playback codec component installed) will play in both QT 7 (without audio) and MPEG Streamclip while the TS file won't open in the QT 7 player but plays fine with audio in MPEG Streamclip.
I THINK I understand! : )
I do have a DropBox folder.
If you also have an online DropBox account, then yes, that would be a good method for posting large files. You then only have to post or email the URL to the people you want to have access to the data.
True. One of the issues is that I want to re-edit some of these files which means I need to get them into FCP. I know there is a workaround, i.e. importing them into iMovie like I did and then spitting them out again so they will play but I feel like I am losing quality that way. Aren't I? This was before I started saving projects so I could always go back into them. Plus, I really want to preserve the original files for backup sake.
Jon, thanks again for taking your time with me. Really apprecite it.

YouTube videos not appearing on Apple TV

Reaching for straws here:
Using my Mac and the Safari browser, I signed onto YouTube and created a Lana Del Rey playlist containing 10 videos. When I play this playlist on my Mac, all 10 videos appear and play.
When I click on the YouTube app on Apple TV and sign into my YouTube account, I can see my Lana Del Rey playlist. But it only contains 4 of the 10 videos. I've been trying to figure out why the other 6 videos do not appear. Is it possible that YouTube allows certain videos to be played on a desktop computer, but not on Apple TV?
All my Mac and Apple TV software is up to date. Thx

Not all videos are available outside of the website, no matter the platform. It could be due to copyright, or the user's decision.

Videos not playing on Apple website

I have a 2008 black MacBook. When I attempt to play the videos on the Apple wesite I only get sound and a notice saying unable to download file. I have DivX installed on my computer. The BBC website shows videos OK and quicktime works OK. Is there a problem with the site?

I have had this issue for a while now, but i do not have any Divx extension to delete. Can someone suggest and alternative fix?

Videos "not copied because it cannot be played on this iPod"

I'm getting this message with purchased videos. They download and show up in my library, but I can't sync them to my iPod. Purchased music syncs fine. I also can't view them directly in iTunes on my Mac. HELP!! I have hundreds of dollars worth of TV shows!

The OP indicated that he's also unable to view the videos on iTunes. Are you also having that problem? If so, go to
HD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
Trash the com.apple.iTunes.plist file. This file stores the iTunes prefs and, when corrupted, weird things happen. A new plist will be automatically created the next time you start iTunes but it will have default prefs.
Now, the iPod... Try the basics.

(Some) videos not playing in iTunes

I just downloaded and imported 30 new videos into my iTunes library, but when I play them, I only get video and audio in 5 of them--all of the others are only audio, no video. I opened them all in Quicktime and they play just fine, but every time I try them in iTunes, there's still no video. The same thing happened a few nights ago with some similar videos I've had in my library for years, but all I did was close the window once and then they started playing fine; this time, I've tried closing the windows and restarting everything several times and nothing has happened. I am running the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7, if that helps at all.

Ditto. Bought Beady Eye iTunes LP. None of the videos run under Mac OS X 10.6.6.
Fine on iPhone. Nothing doing on desktop. What gives?

Why does iTunes some Videos not found??

If I sync my iPod classic with iTunes there are a few Videos which it can not found, where is the problem??

Are the videos playing back in iTunes? If so, it may be because they're in a format that's incompatible with the iPod Classic. The iPod Classic is only compatible with Standard Definition content from the iTunes Store, or videos encoded in a similar fashion. HD Content will not sync or playback on the iPod Classic.
