Songs/videos wont transfer

Windows gives me an error saying that /ipod_control temp file 1 is corrupt and unreadable, and Itunes will appear to add a song, but when i eject and try to find it...its not on the ipod. When I re-connect it's not in itunes.
Any ideas???? This ipod is about to get thrown out the window!

  • Video wont transfer to iPod Classic

    Why is this? It transfered before, then I wiped it and now it wont transfer, saying those videos aren't compatible with this version of iPod.

    Hi Peabot,
    If you are having issues transfering videos to your iPod Classic, especially videos that have transferred successfully previously, you may want to take a look at the following article:

    I am having EXACTLY the same problem as you are. I to had updated my software and used the same program as you did and the video doesn't transfer. I tried downloading that sample movie that Apple supplied to test and see if it would transfer but iTunes doesn't even add it to my library, and Quicktime won't even recognize that sample file as compatible format even though iTunes and Quicktime are the latest version. This is so frustrating.

  • MPG4 video wont transfer to itunes

    Hey everybody:
    My problem:
    I had a CD of 3 video files(the original format was 3GPP2 of 2 of them, and MPG4 of one of them -- Call them files 1, 2, and 3). The third file I was able to drag and drop into itunes, and I got it on my video ipod (all though Ipod had to convert it, interestingly, though it was allready mpg4... shrug thats not the issue though).
    The other 2 files, I can't get into itunes for the life of me. Ive tried a number of things:
    I converted them first with videora, then tried to drag and drop into itunes. No error, they just didnt show up. When I dragged them, the little plus and everything showed up.
    Again with the converted files, I tried the "add file" and the "import" functions in itunes. Again, no error, the files just didnt show up.
    I tried dragging the original file into itunes, thinking Id just convert them using the converter in itunes. AGAIN, no error, they just didnt show up in my video list.
    I've added LOTS of video's to my ipod, downloaded, off CD's and I've never had this problem before. It's driving me up a wall! What am I missing??
    PS. Im not running the latest version of Itunes. (I think its 6 that Im running) 7 is downloading as I speak, to see if that makes a difference.

    Ok, so I looked at the properities of the files that videora converted for me, and although videora gave me no errors, the files it spitted out are pretty much useless. 0 bytes of data, and they wont play.
    Ive never tried converting from 3GPP2 before, and am unfamiliar with the format. Videora doesnt recognize it as a media format, but it didnt give me any errors, so I assumed it worked. That answered the question of why it wouldnt transfer anyway.
    From what I've found online, and seen in the properities of the file, I gather 3GPP2 is some type of compressed MPG4, or something... BTW, quick time plays the files in 3GPP2 format (and says they are some type of MPG4), but I can't drag and drop them into itunes. I get a circle with a line through it.
    Long story short, anyone know how I can get those files into a format itunes can deal with, because aparently videora doesnt do it right!

  • My videos wont transfer    please read and respond

    I keep tryin to transfer videos in mpeg format and it says that i cant play it on my i pod. so does it need to be in a different format and if so how do i put it in the format?

    You can also try QuickTime Pro - it is $30 and find out more here. www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/mac.html
    They have a windows version too.
    I publish Pod Mania a print directory of every iPod accessory - it is available in bookstores now. I am trying to find writers to contribute to our sister web site http://www.DigitalMania-Online.com so we can beginn to help with this conversion issue.

  • Itunes.exe has generated errors...videos wont transfer

    I have Windows 2000 w/service pack 4 and all updates.
    itunes and ipod work great with the EXCEPTION of when I try to transfer downloaded VIDEOS from itunes to my LIBRARY. The downloads are on my hardDrive but when I try to transfer them over to the ipod a PROGRAM ERROR alerts that itunes.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows...and shuts down. Yes I have already TWICE removed and reinstalled itunes with all virus scans and spyware OFF, downloaded the stand alone quicktime.Still no luck.
    What the heck is causing this???
    HP Windows 2000 amd-K6 3D

    If you know where this error log it generates/creates is, copy and paste it here in a post so we know whats happening.
    Just to cover basics, run antivirus to check for viruses on your PC, run any malware program you use to check for ad/spyware, and after that turn off or disable any antivirus/security programs you have before installing iTunes. there is a slew of post here on both Norton AND Mcafee and how they have interfered with installs of iTunes
    Someone may correct me on this but seems like your installer files are corrupt. run Microsofts "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" and anything listed as iTunes or Quicktime remove with the cleaner. You can get the clean up Utility at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

  • Videos wont transfer in to itunes yet photos do.

    Hi when i sync my iphone to my pc it will transfer photos from iphone to pc but it will not transfer my videos to pc, is it something simple i'm doing wrong. Help much appreciated....Mat..

    Photos are not synced from the iPhone to the computer, they are imported. This is not done through iTunes, it is done with whatever software you would use to get pictures off a digital camera. For a Windows computer, that would be the camera and scanner wizard. It should do the same for the video from the iPhone as well, unless you have another problem.
    With the iPhone plugged in, start the camera and scanner wizard, see if it recognizes the iPhone. There has to be something in the camera roll for it to recognize it. You should then be prompted to import the pictures/video. Another method is to go to Windows Explorer and the iPhone should be listed as a camera, or removable device. Double click on the icon, and you can open the folder with the pictures/video. Click and hold the picture/video and move it to the desktop. It can then be deleted from the iPhone.

  • Itunes will not play any songs/videos; also, videos wont tranfer to iPod.

    This problem started a couple of days ago; It started after I downloaded 6.0.2... There were a bunch of problems to my computer because of that, although they might not have been related. In any case, I ended up using system restore 3 times and uninstalling/reinstalling itunes quite a bit.
    Now my computer's back to normal, except one thing: iTunes. Its acting... funky. Weird. It wont play any songs/videos on iTunes itself, which is annoying but I don't mind it as I just use my iPod... EXCEPT that it wont transfer ANY videos to my iPod. NONE. Even the old videos on it were erased as iTunes said that "They can't be viewed". I KNOW these videos work on my iPod as I converted them to specifications and plus, I've seen most of them before on it (Also, I have a few music store bought videos and they wont transfer either). It seems to be a deep rooted technical problem inside iTunes, but I can't seem to fix it.
    I've repaired/reinstalled/completely uninstalled, wiped reg. values with a cleaner, and it STILL doesn't work...
    I need help. This problem is weird, and I'd like it fixed. I want to see videos again...

    If anyone else can't play songs from their device in iTunes, try steps below which solved my problem:
    Be sure your device is selected.
    Right Click anywhere on Contents screen.
    Select "Reset Plays" your selected song(s) should begin playing.
    The "Pause, Play etc" buttons are no longer greyed out.

  • Purchased songs wont transfer to Itouch

    I just got a new mac and I transferred all my old songs to my new computer and they all transferred to my Itouch fine but the new songs I bought on my mac wont transfer. Any ideas??

    Kathy, your purchased music not going on iPod is usually a symptom that your iPod software is not current. The following link will explain how to update your software using the iPod updater. Hope this helps!

  • Updated software but Nano still wont transfer songs

    I just got a Nano and it wont transfer some of my songs from iTunes because "some of the songs are on outdated software". I updated my software and it still wont transfer over the songs. I only have 83 songs on the Nano and it wouldnt transfer 40. Its a 2GB.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Are you trying to transfer songs already on your Nano to iTunes on your PC or are there 40 songs in iTunes that won't transfer to the Nano?
    If you are trying to transfer songs to iTunes from the Nano, iTunes doesn't like to work that way and you may need to look at third party software to assist you.
    If the songs are in iTunes (and play in iTunes) try right clicking on the song(s) in question and converting them to AAC or another iPod friendly format in iTunes and see if they will upload..
    Hope this helps..

  • Songs wont transfer to ipod

    when i plug in my ipod to my computer, some of the new songs i recently got wont transfer. i tried updating the library and ipod software which didnt help. my ipod got a little little bit wet in the rain, did this do something?

    Similar problem. This started a few weeks ago with Itunes upgrades. Itunes and the Ipod act as if synchronizing. The Ipod shows up in Itunes and Itunes says it is transferring songs. When all are transferred the message to disconnect is given on both. However, the line in Itunes showing disk availability is showing a network drive rather than the Ipod and the songs don't transfer to the Ipod. I think it is 5 times now I have used the Ipod updater to go back to factory defaults and uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. Then I connect, it shows the Ipod as connected and transfers the entire library. It then works a couple of times and then starts doing this again.
    Ideas?
