Syncing DVDs to your iPod Touch

Hello,
This is my first post on Apple Discussions. I would like to first comment on how supportive and polite this community seems to be, and cannot wait to get active in it.
Apple products are some of the best in my opinion. Innovative, fun, and very usable. You guys are evolving technology in ways no one else has. The work Apple has done on computers, handhelds, and even small accessories have led the path to inspiration and innovation in technology.
Okay, I am done sucking up now, haha. I will move on to my question.
Is it possible for you to sync DVD's, that you have bought at a store, with your iPod Touch? If so, can you use a CD-ROM, or do you need a CD-DVD on your computer? For example, I can take albums I have bought, let's say Elton John's +Songs From the West Coast+, and put them in my CD-ROM and they will automatically add those songs in a database that I can copy to my iTunes which I can sync to my Touch. Is the same possible with DVDs?
There are tons of movies I have bought that I would really like to contribute to my iPod Touch library. Some movies I have on DVD aren't even available in the iTunes Store. Now that is really frustrating.
Please give personal experiences with this, official Apple documentation about this, or any support you can give. I will greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for all support!

Well I wasn't planning on ripping, but I bought the DVD, and I am not redistributing it, so shouldn't I be fine?
Is there no way to add it on the Touch without "ripping" it?
And if I can't add a DVD onto my Touch, is there a place where I can suggest videos to be added to the iTunes store.
Thanks for the quick response as well.

  • The Beatles LP won't sync on to my iPod Touch

    I try to transfer the LP to my iPod touch and it won't work. My iPod iOS is up to date, as is my iTunes. I deauthorised my account as well as reauthorising it. Nothing is working. Please help?

    How are you trying to add these new music/content to your iPod?  How is your device configured to sync Music from under its Music tab in iTunes?  See this article for more help and information on syncing music to your iPod Touch.

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

  • Syncing your iPod touch

    When you sync your iPod touch 4g to iCloud and you don't have photo stream on, does it still save those photos to other devices when you get your stuff back or do you have to screen shot things or send them to yourself? Because I might be getting a new iPod touch and I backe stuff up to iCloud but I didn't have photo stream on before, but it said that it saved my camera roll. So does that mean I have nothing to worry about or should I have had photo stream on?

    Thanks but that's not what I meant. What I meant was that I am getting a new iPod touch ad I want the pictures from my current iPod to show up on my new iPod without using photo stream because I forgot to use it and I don't want to go through all my pictures and screen shot them either so is there anything else I can do without syncing them to a computer?

  • Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

    In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac. 
    How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing). 
    I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal.  iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
    Any advice on how to make this super simple?
    Thanks in advance.

    My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader.  You can use the
    Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
    Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open.  If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
    Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
    Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A.  If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG.  Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
    Landscape lock.  OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button.  This will bring up a list of your running apps.  Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button.  Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation.  Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
    NOTE:  Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock.  Another reason I like Stanza.
    Wallpaper.  I think you can only change it to something else.  Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change.  Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

  • Adding an event to your iCal on your iPod touch

    So...I understand you can sync the iPod touch's iCal with a calendar on your main computer (using Entourage, outlook, or simply iCal.) BUT....can you add events directly into your Ipod touch...and then simply view both calendars at the same time like you can do using iCal on your desktop? Basically, use your Ipod touch as a sort of palm pilot.
    Any info on this would be great.

    No, you can't do this. Apple have decided that iPod Touch users shouldn't be allowed to add calendar entries and have broken the calendar.
    You can let Apple know we want the calendar fixed by filling out the form at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    It only takes a minute and it's the best way we have of telling them we don't want a crippled calendar.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
