Syncing digital camera movies to Ipod Touch

Hi all,
Recently got an Ipod touch and love it. In order to sync movies to the touch, the movies have to be in the movies folder in the home folder on one's computer. However, the touch doesn't recognize the movie format from my digital camera. Does anyone have any advice on how to change the format so that the Ipod can sync the video clips?

Will Quick time pro or Imovie save as M4v. Does anyone have experience with this?
Yes, but...
...there are CODECs used in some video files that aren't supported by QuickTime (or QuickTime Pro).
I personally prefer VisualHub. The other evening I was attempting to reduce the image size of a 2 hr mpg-4 file I had to iPod size with QuickTime Pro - the time to completion estimate kept going up and when it reached 18 hours I quit QuickTime Pro. VisualHub did the conversion in 38 minutes.

e question remains:

Home movies to ipod touch

how do you add and sync home videos taken from a digital camera to an ipod touch. it will not sync my .mov's from my folder to the device

If you've imported your movies into iPhoto, open iMovie and it will show them in the Event Library on the bottom left (shown as "iPhoto Videos"). Once you've created a project in iMovie you can select Share->iTunes... and iMovie will re-compress the files to the appropriate format (after you tell it what you want) and place the movies in your iTunes library. Then its just a matter of syncing your iPod Touch to iTunes.
If you need help with iMovie I suggest you hop on over to the iMovie forum to ask your questions.

Syncing keeps backing up my iPod touch

When I install new application, movie, or music, my mac keeps syncing by backing up my iPod touch everytime. Is this normal or can I change something in the preference.

Yes, I was going to post a question regarding backups. Having had a Palm and using backup software (not the regular sync operation), I was wondering about the iPod Touch. I did notice that it says something like "backing up iPod" during a sync, but do we need more robust backup software? For example, if some app corrupts its data, can we restore just that data file, or the app with data? Or do we do a full restore - and if so, how is that done?

Does iCloud sync videos taken on my iPod touch?

Can anyone please tell me if iCloud syncs videos taken on my iPod touch and if so, where do I find them? Thank you.

Videos and photos in your camera roll are backed up when you back up to iCloud. However back up is for restoring your iOS device, you cannot selectively access or restore individual files in the iCloud backup.

I could not reach the 4-digits code in my ipod touch for unlocking it

i could not reach the 4-digits code in my ipod touch for unlocking it

If you mean that the screen does not respond to your touch or you forgot you passcode. place the iPod in recovery mode and than connect it to your syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

When I look at my Ipod on Itunes on my laptop it is showing that I have a large amount of storage space taken up with Apps. (more than my music). In fact I only have the Apps which came with the ipod touch! How do I get my storage back?

I have an ipod touch 64GB. I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps. I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to. I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

Why can't I finish reading some of the the books I bought in iBooks on my iPod touch 32GB? It's a brand new device and I synced it with my old iPod touch 16GB.

WWhy can't I finish reading some of my books I bought in iBook? I synced from my old 16GB IPOD TOUCH, I only get about a third or half the way through and it freezes.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the books and redownload
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Can I use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime?

I have been trying to use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime. Will it work? How do I sign in? When I click on Preferences the preferences window does not appear, and preferences in the drop down menu becomes greyed out. I am using an older Apple Cinema Display. Also Apple doesn't show the iSight camera for sale on the website.

Hello Chris
Pairing an iPod touch to the computer to use the camera is not supported, but you can use any webcam that can be plugged into the computer.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

How can I sync my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4G to ANY computer/itunes without having to erase EVERYTHING on it?

I need to use another laptop to sync my music, I've already synced my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4G with my laptop and had to delete EVERYTHING to do so! I refuse to do this again, I was NEVER able to restore my phone back to it's original state since then.
How can I sync up my idevices to ANY computer w/ iTunes without having to completely bomb my iphone and ipod? And if I can't do that, how can I back up all my music and apps? I've already tried "back up device" and that did absolutely NOTHING to help my predicament.
Long story short, I had my devices synced to my desktop, my desktop broke, so I bought a laptop, synced my devices to my laptop after erasing all my data, and my laptop was destroyed during hurricane sandy, so now I have to use my parents/friends computers to sync new music and videos. BUT CAN'T BECAUSE MY DEVICES WERE ALREADY SYNCED TO MY LAPTOP AND DESKTOP!
If I can get ANY help, I would greatly appreciate it.
