ITunes won't sync videos to iPod (no "Movies" tab in iTunes either)

Hey... I really hope you could help me somehow, I'm really desperate..
So few days ago I was able to sync videos to iPod 30GB and everything went well. When I added some more videos to iTunes and connected iPod in order to sync those videos everything stopped working. All of my music and pics are still in the iPod, but videos are gone completely. There is no "Videos/Movies" tab in iTunes (iPod actually) nor "Images" tab... How can fix this??
Thnx for your help...

I'm suspecting that you don't have the video iPod. Although your iTunes supports video, there is absolutely no reference to video on the iPod portion of the screen. Also, there's no Photo tab and no Games tab.
Further, the iPod software version number is completely out of whack. The latest version for the Generation-5 iPod is 1.2.1 yet you have 6.0. Finally, your serial number doesn't look quite right. I have absolutely confirmed that that is not a serial number for the "late 2006 Generation-5" unit but I can't get sample serial numbers from the earlier Gen-5 units.
Go here and determine exactly what you have.

hi ihave a serius problem i cant sync videos from my phone card to my ipod touch sg because every time i try itunes start to do weard things like geting frozen or it says that it can't conect to my ipod touch or it's geting sync without syncing please help

Huh?

You can't sync directly from iphone to ipod.
What are you trying to do?

Wont sync videos to ipod.

Now i hope the answer to this is obvious and makes me look dumb,keep in mind ive never had an ipod that could play videos before, just the 1st gen nano, now i have an 80g classic. When trying to sync videos to my iPod it just says syncing, then syncing complete, but it shows no movies under the file or on my iPod. Ive tried auto syncing them and dragging them, it doesn't give me and error message, just says it completes and does nothing,
Thanks

It is currently two Simpsons episodes i forget where i got, i believe they were downloaded, I know it should be TV shows but it shows them under movies. They work fine when i watch them on Quicktime, Windows media player, or when i watch them on itunes.

Syncing videos on ipod using Itunes

I don't know why but suddenly my Itunes preference won't let me select the video part to sync videos on my 5th gen ipod. I have 23 gb left on my ipod. When going into preference and selecting video on itunes, everything is greyed out and I cannot select. Please suggest. I could sync before, not anymore. thanks kidclam

Have your music update set as "manually manage songs and playlists"? This forces the video to be in manual mode as well which is why the box gets greyed out.

Having trouble syncing video to Ipod Classic 160GB

Hi all,
Finally moved up to an Ipod after a few too many years with other brands...and am really enjoying the Ipod/Itunes combo for music.
Video's a different matter, though, and I could use your help!
I'm trying to get a few videos onto my Classic, and have converted them into MP4 format and put them in the "Movies" folder in Itunes (they show up alongside every video I've shot on my digital camera). My Ipod is set to sync automatically, and does so for music, but not for video. I was able to get the videos on using the instructions I found on http://www.ehow.com/how4925922download-videos-onto-ipod-classic.html , but the next time I synced music on my Ipod, it removed the videos I'd added.
Is there a way that I could add videos manually, and keep syncing music automatically, without the automatic syncing removing things that I added manually? Or could I set Itunes/Ipod up such that music is automatically queued for syncing, while videos need to be approved for syncing?
Basically, how can I get this to work?
Many thanks for your help.

Hello stopheles,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do you currently have your iPod set up to sync Videos? What settings do you have enabled from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes? Specifically, the "Automatically sync (Select Option Here, e.g. all) movies" option on this tab.

Can sync video to ipod, but can't see it play

When I sync a podcast to itunes, it syncs into my ipod, but when I go to the ipod menu to play it, nothing happens. It is a MPEG4 file and you can see the name in the podcast directory, but when you select it, its blank. No video or sound.
What gives?
Thanks.

I think your keyfigure is a "Reference key figure", It is refering to another key figure. Check the keyfigure infoobject. You can create a new key figure (copy of reference key figure) and use it in DSO.
If it is a characterstic, then check whether "attribute only" flag is checked in the infoobject. Uncheck the flag and then it will come in the transformation.

Problem syncing video to iPod Touch

I am trying to sync a video (.mp4) to my iPod Touch and it will not sync. I tried selecting the video in iTunes and then clicking Advanced>Create iPod or iPhone Version, but that option is greyed out (presumably because the video is already in an acceptable format for the iTouch).
I tried updating both my iTunes software and the software on my iTouch - and retried the steps above but no joy. The option is still greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

All of a sudden having same problem. Thought it was because updated to OS4 on Itouch yesterday. Tried everything I could think of still won't sync properly. Everything else sync's okay, maybe Itunes glitch today something to do with new OS ?

ITunes wont sync videos to ipod

Ok, ive read the whole guide on the net on how to get stuff from the itunes to ipod...ive even managed to get all my songs into the ipod no problems...
but I cant get any videos to go...they are in iTunes just fine, iTunes seemed to convert anything that wasnt normal to a format it liked, and I get to the click yes point where it asks, are you sure you would like to sync your movies, you will lose all existing content etc... and I click OK, and then it gives me the, iTunes is updating the ipod, and then about 3 seconds later its done.
I eject, and have no videos on the ipod...im trying to get over 10 files into the ipod so theres no way it would take only 3 seconds.
Whats going on?

If I had, it would only be because some guy on here posted a solution. Im not going to try again without help. Silly software...

Unable to sync Videos to iPod Touch 1st Gen

Hi. I was trying to sync some movies to my iPod Touch 1st gen but it keep giving me this following error message.
"Movie" was not copied to the iPod "my iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
However I tried the sync-ing the same movie to my iPhone and my newer iPod Touch 4th gen and it works. Only my 1st Gen iPod Touch couldn't sync it. Any solutions I could try? Thanks a lot!

Hello, it happened to me before - except its my iPod 4th Generation. Most of my videos or movies can be synced though, there are only a few that doesn't work. I'm not sure about the cause of the problem, maybe something like the iPod and the movie format is not compatible or something.. If you tried almost everything and it still doesn't work, maybe try creating an iMovie project and import your movie into it, then just export the iMovie so it puts the video in another video.. Not sure if it'll work, but worth a try
Hope this helped!

Syncing video with Ipod 2

I have purchased video from ITunes. Synced iPad. Video transferred to ITunes and off IPad.
Tried to bring video back to iPad during sync and get message
Video cannot be played on this IPad.
I have restored IPad have latest ITunes but will not work..
The video is the west wing which is 10 years old.
Any advice out there.

You might try one of the apps that uses WiFi to transfer photos and videos between your computer and the iPad. I've transferred several videos that way (to an iPad and to my iPhone). When I do that sort of transfer, the video is stored on the iPad or iPhone in the Camera Roll album in the Photos native app on the device. Can play it from there.

Cant sync videos on ipod

Syncing Videos onto iPod

Ok, so ive downloaded some videos and they show up on the video section of iTunes. But when I try to update my ipod with them on it, it wont work. It says that those files cannot work on "this iPod", this being my iPod video. Do the files need to be a certain format, is my itunes fully updated, anyone else go through this? If so explain how you got it to work. Thanks.

Make that at least 3 of us. I have a number of music videos and movies I converted with ImToo DVD to iPod converter. These worked find UNTIL I installedd the 1/20 update. After that, most of them will not copy to the ViPod - and less copy with every update!
I've also noticed that I seem to be shy about 75-100 mp3s as well, with no messages popping up.
I have uninstalled iTunes and the Updater, then reinstalled the original (CD) software. After running the 10/12 updater and using the earlier version of iTunes, I still have the same problem. Chkdsk finds no problems on the drive (not that I expected any..).
Apple needs to fix this one along with the other reported video-related problems, 'cause this ***** BIG TIME!

Ipod no longer syncs video. Why?

On the 20th July 2011 I updated to itunes 10.4, ever since then I have been unable to sync videos to my ipod. the program I use to convert videos has not changed. The video format has not changed. Aside from total size and length the videos are identical to each other only the ones transferred before this update are on the ipod, and any I attempt to transfer since do not.
Why?
There is no logical reason behind this, it is infuriating. All I get is a message telling me "cannot sync video to ipod as it is unable to be played on this ipod.". is there a way to get further information from this message? Is it possible for it to tell me the exact reason it refuses to transfer the file? that would be lovely.
All I want for Christmas is my videos on my ipod.

Video format has not changed, aside from total size and length?
iPod has lower H264 format, up to 1.5mps 640x480.
iPod can play the following video formats:
* H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* H.264 video, up to 768 kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
When you convert, go for the lower quality iPod format if you want to play it on iPod, else the new iTunes will convert to higher format of 1080p for iPhones, iPad
Good Luck!

80gb ipod not syncing video

I have all the boxes checked, i have 60gb of free space, music is syncing fine, but when i click sync to try to sync the three tv episodes i bought off the itunes store, it ;syncs but the shows aren't added. video podcasts are syncing, so i guess the problem is just that the tv shows aren't syncing

Hello Tedlocks,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If these videos are TV Shows, and their *Media Type* is set to "TV Show", then you will have to configure your iPod to sync TV Shows from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes.
More information on syncing TV Shows can be found under # 6 from this Apple support document.
