Store movies only on ipod

Hi together,
i like to store my movies only on my ipod, just to save size on my powerbook.
Is it possible?
thanks for your help
powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

It is, but they must comply with these settings:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
I am not a Mac user, but believe Handbrake is a good tool for converting movies to the iPod. Check these forums for the word 'handbrake'.

ITunes HD full - want to store movies only on ATV

I am syncing my ATV with my laptop. Everything works fine. I can buy movies/TV shows on either my laptop or ATV. They sync back and forth fine. I can sync them to my iphone as well. Everything works as I would hope. BUT my laptop HD is full from other material. Everytime a new podcast/movie/tv show starts to sync, it takes up the remaining space and stops. However, my ATV has plenty of room. Is there a way to just leave the movies/TV Shows on my ATV and delete them from my laptop HD? I don't see how to do this. Would home sharing help? Currently my ATV and iTunes are logged into different iTunes accounts.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Your first issue is to protect your laptop. You should not let a hard drive get more than 90% full especially if it is also a start up volume. You need to remove some items from your laptop.
At the same time why not consider a large enough external HDD to move some of your laptop content and also to hold your itunes library so that your purchases can safely sync back to itunes. You may also want to consider a second external drive at the same time for back up if you don't already have one.
There are ways to keep content from syncing back to your laptop, but I don't recommend you do that. Your first job is to free up some space on your laptop, overfilling your drive will more than likely at some point begin to corrupt your directory structure, which may mean your content gets lost and can't be recovered without specialist software, if at all.

How to store content on the iPod classic

Dear all,
I've got a small problem.
Oh, at first I wish you all Merry Christmas.
Now, back to the issue :-)
Not all my films can be played on my iPod classic. Only those that I bought in iTunes Store. All the other, that I usually convert to format called "Apple Universal" can be played on Apple TB, iMac, iPad, but not on my iPod classic. Only if I convert movies to the other format. Smaller, with les pixels. But when I bought something via the shop, the same film can be played everywhere. And I do not want to convert the films double. Once for iPod and second for anything else. Plllls, is there any way how to do it?
And if no, is there a way how to even store movies on the iPod, withot playing in on it. I would like to use it ony when I go for holiday as a media storage. In a hotel room connect it via AV cable to the TV and only on TV play it.
Kind Regards for any advice in this matter.
Martin

You remove it from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, or if syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes source list, find that music, and press Delete.

I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.

Your best option is to post this in the iTunes forum.

Is There a Way To Put Movies ONLY On My iPod (W/ No Local Copy on my Comp)?

I've transferred a lot of movies and TV shows from my Tivo to my hard drive, converted them, and put them on my iPod. But I'm starting to run out of disk space on my computer.
But if I delete the local copy of the TV show or movie from my computer, iTunes deletes it from my iPod at the next sync.
Is there a way to delete a movie file from my computer but leave the movie on my iPod so that it's not deleted from the iPod at the next sync?
Sorry if this is a dumb or obvious question, I'm new to this iPod thing!

Change the options on the movie screen when the iPod is connected - as we in the UK don't have movies and I haven't imported any of my own I can't confirm this works but if it's like the photos option it should ask do you want to delete what is on the iPod. Hope that works for you.

What file format do I need to put a movie on my ipod?

I don't know how to get movies on my ipod. Do I have to use an imac? Does it have to be in mp4 format? Can it be QuickTime?

The compatible formats for videos for a Fifth Generation are either:
MP4, MOV, M4V, or protected MP4 (only found at the iTunes Store).
For instructions on syncing videos to your iPod, this lesson from iPod 101 might help:

Desktop crashed - How do I move songs from ipod to new library?

I've downloaded the new version of iTunes to my laptop. But when I hook up my ipod, it says that songs can't be transfered because there is another library that they belong to. I have also authorized the laptop but I still can't transfer songs. What am i doing wrong?

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I downloaded a movie on my ipod touch through itunes and can't get it to cloud to my ipad 2

I downloaded a movie on my ipod touch thinking I could cloud it to my ipad2, i bought it through itunes. I go to itunes and the only things i can cloud to my ipad are music and tv shows. Why can't my movie be clouded to my ipad2?

Movies are not one of the items you can reload via iClould like apps, music, and some other items. You can contact iTunes and request a redownload,. They may give you one.

Move songs from iPod to new computer

Ok so my computer's hard drive recently just crashed and since then I've had to replace it, thus meaning everything I had on it is gone. This includes my 3000+ songs on my iTunes. I was wondering if there was any way I could load the songs from my iPod onto my new computer in iTunes. I didn't have anything backed up or anything so thats out of the question. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it.

I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store. You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Moving my own movies to my iPod

Hello,
I recently bought a 80gb iPod and I am extreme happy with it.
Apart from a very nice collection of music, I also stored pictures on it that are very dear to me.
Now I saw that iTunes also allows to place movies on my iPod, but as far as I can see only movies I bought through iTunes.
Is it somehow possible to store also my own movies on my iPod, so I can watch them any time I like and show them to my friends?
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

Does this help?
