Syncing movies (mp4) from iTunes to iPhones not working version 2.2

Here is what I hope is the final answer to this incredibly prevalent problem, gleaned from a few PARTIAL answers, many USELESS answers, and some trial and error on my part.
Problem:
You are getting an error message when trying to sync MP4 movies to your iPhone using iTunes. (sorry I can't repeat the error message, I can't seem to restore the warning dialog that I turned off)
Solution:
Add the desired movie to the movies area of your iTunes application (you have already done this if you are receiving this error)
From the list view, select (regular click to highlight) the desired movie.
From the "Advanced" menu (NOT from right click as has been suggested many times), select "Create iPod or iPhone version"
Now you will wait for a long time. A progress bar will show the conversion in process.
When done, you will have two copies of the movies. One in the original location, and one in your iTunes movie folder. The newly created one will sync to your iPhone.
To determine which is the new movie either
1) Add "Date modified" to your list view by right clicking on the column headings in the movies list panel,
- or -
2) Right click on either of the lines and choose "Get Info" to view the name of the folder. Delete the one which is not the newly converted one. Hopefully this will only delete it from your movie list, not from your media. That's how it worked for me. If it asks if you want to move it to the recycle bin, you may have deleted the wrong one.
After it is done, attach and select the iPhone device. Go to the video tab and scroll down to "movies". Check/uncheck the appropriate boxes for your movie(s) and hit "apply". Your movie(s) should now properly sync the phone.
You do NOT need new software (for an MP4 movie)
"Convert to iPhone" is NOT on the context menu
Itunes will lock up for part of this process

That didnt work, and there was no conversion bar. Ever since the new software update, my two iphones will not sync movies, and the older iphone will also not sync the music now. What is the point of having these?

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

    Go to the apps tab, select sync apps, select the apps that you want to sync.

    Apps can be used with only one account. You can sync to more than one iphone from that account, but the app will not transfer to another account.

    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • No sync my music from itunes to iphone 5

    No sync my music from itunes iphone 5, which is on my PC. Photos and
    notebook synchronized perfectly. My iPad synchronized to music at the
    same time. I tried absolutely everything.
    I am a musician. Why can not I upload my own music, which I wrote
    myself to my iPhone 5?
    How to solve this problem?

    You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
    Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
    With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

  • Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs.  What am I doing wrong?

    I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
    Where are the extra songs coming from?
    The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
    Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
    Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
    I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
    When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
    Uncheck the "Sync Music" box.  Accept the "Are You Sure ...".  That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right.  (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
    Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs.  Do what you like with them.
    Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply.  That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

  • Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

    Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
    Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
    - There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
    - I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
    - I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
    - Everything still plays in iTunes.
    - If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
    - I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
    - I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
    I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
    (I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

    After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
    They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

  • Movie Purchased From iTunes Store Will Not Sync

    I purchased Cars from the iTues Store on Feb 4th in preperation for the TV release. I just hooked up my new TV yesterday and was sadly disapointed that cars will not sync to the TV. I get an error message that reads, "Cars cannot be coppied to Apple TV because it cannot be played in this Apple TV." What Gives? I am afraid to buy more movies from the iTunes Store for fear that they will not work. Is this something I can resolve or did I just loose my money?
    iBook 1.42 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I would be nervous doing this as a test. I have recently reformatted my machine and when trying to play my purchased tracks, I got alerts saying that I had used another slot of my allowed 5 devices. This puts me at 5 now for most of my music. I wold be really mad if I had to re-download all my music over again. As it stands now one more reformat or an iPod Upgrade and I am out of luck!
    Apple if your listening, 5 authorized uses is not enough!
    (this is a whole other topic)
    I guess I am going to give up on this topic. Thanks for the help those that tried to help. I guess it was not meant to be. sigh

  • I can't sync movies (BOUGHT from iTunes) to my iPod nano!

    Any movie I buy won't sync. I have another movie from my computer that worked after i converted to mp4. Mp4s work but not m4vs
    Midway the sync it stops and I get an error.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    I get this error at different times. The first time i attempted to put it on, it went 2 cm. The last time it went almost halfway.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thank you,

    I have the same problem. Movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes will not work if they are longer than 25 minutes. The guy at the 14th st Genius bar said that all is well with both computer, nano and software so "we're calling it a usb problem". Do you have an older model mac or pc?

  • Can't move movies bought from iTunes to iPhone

    I just bought one movie off of itunes and rented another. I want to put them on my iphone so that my kids can watch then on a flight. I was able to move the rental onto my iPhone no problem, but when I try to drag the movie I purchased onto my iPhone it won't drop onto the iPhone. I don't get the "+" icon showing that it can be added to the iphone. Any ideas?
    Thx

  • How do I move music from itunes to iphone with itunes 11?

    Just purchased an album in iTunes on my computer, how do I get it on my iPhone? Normally when I buy music on my iPhone it automatically downloads to my iTunes library on the Mac, but it does not work the other way around. Obviously I want to avoid syncing with my library because I have lots of music on my iPhone that's not on my computer.

    Drag selected tracks to the right, a panel slides open on the right containing devices and playlist. Your iPhone shold be listed under devices. To enable automatic downloads for the iphone go to settings/Store and fick the switch for music!
    hope that helps

  • Can't sync personal ringtone from iTunes to iPhone 6 plus

    Hi
    I have created a personal ringtone , a 20 sec clip. I saved it as an arc and renamed it to .M4R
    I added it to iTunes which correctly put it in the tones folder. I connected my iPhone - checked the sync tones option /all
    and hit sync.
    The ringtone refuses to come across.
    I am using iOS 8.1 and iTunes v12.0.1.26
    any help would be great
    thanks

    Hello,
    I just discovered something yesterday as I was having the exact problems. Here are some questions that I'll ask with my comments next to them.
    1. Did you burn CDs onto your computer's hard-drive? If so, your iTunes will treat these files differently than if you had used iTunes or downloaded an .mp3. There are quite a few different formats which can be played on your iTunes or iPhone. They are: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and more . I have no problems with the .mp3 format, but I do have problems with the other formats. I believe that you would have to convert your format of your song from, let's say, a .m4a to a .aac. Then, I delete the .m4a format to avoid redundancies.
    This was my biggest issue, and I hate it. It's very cumbersome. I hate iTunes, in general.
