Syncing/Video Format issue from iTunes to iPod touch

I recently upgraded to a 4th gen touch from 4th gen iPod. All my previous videos were able to be synced properly. Ones I just purchased from iTunes store, however, I cannot load onto my iPod touch. I'm not able to sync it nor drag it into my device to upload.
This is the message I receive when syncing: +"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including "xxxxxx" were not copied to the iPod "xx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."+ When I clicked further the message reads +"...the video format is not supported by this iPod."+
All of these are regular ole TV shows in MPEG-4 format. Yes, I can watch them on my computer. Yes, my software is up to date. Yes, I have iTunes 10 (and reinstalled it). Yes, my properties are to automatically sync my TV shows (which is why I'm constantly getting above error message). Yes, I restarted and reformatted my iPod touch.

Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes? That opion is made to convert most formates to the iPod and iPhone compatible formats.

  • Some videos fail to sync from iTunes to iPod Touch

    There are 38 movies (or videos) in my iTunes and total is 3.45GB but when I sync this with my iPod Touch only 22 of these are sync into my iPod. iPod capacity should not be an issue: i still got 4.18GB free space and the entire movie/video library is only 3.45GB (after 22 of the 38 videos have been stored).
    When I go to "DEVICES" under iTunes and go to my iPod and then check out the "Movies" tab, I can see the FULL list of the 38 movies but some of them are in black text and others in grey text. Those in grey text are not sync onto my iPod Touch. What should I do? Please don't tell me to reset the iPod Touch!

    The videos that show in grey text are not in the proper format to play on your iPod. Select the video in your music or movie library and use the iTunes "Advanced" menu to "Create an iPod or iPhone version".
    Then try your sync again.
    The iPod Touch will only accept video formatted as described here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html

  • How to correctly sync from Itunes after Ipod touch

    Hi,
    I just got a new Iphone 3G, after having used an Ipod touch. I synced the Iphone from Itunes, and all my existing apps and settings have synced OK, but all the apps are empty and none of my photos, videos etc. have synced - even though I went through every tab on the device in Itunes and pressed Sync. What do I need to do to get my Iphone just like my Touch?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Make sure you have at least one contact in the contacts list on your phone. Connect your touch, do not sync, rather right click the touch in the device pane and select "backup". Once complete, un-mount your touch, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select "reset warnings". Once done, right click again and select "restore from backup". Select the backup you just made. Once the restore is complete, this must be followed by a sync to put your itunes content back on your phone. You should get a popup regarding your contacts, to merge or replace, select merge. All you should have to add to your phone are wifi & email passwords, as these are not copied over for security reasons. Your phone should now look exactly like your touch.

  • HT1386 Problem Syncing Music from Itunes to Ipod Touch.

    I have one music album on Itunes that won't sync with my Ipod touch.  I tried deleting it from Itunes and then adding it again.  Still not on Ipod.  Also, I have several albums in Itunes that the music will sync but the album artwork will not.

    Try redownloading them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Sync them to your iPod for an iTunes library using the manual method

  • HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

    I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

    Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

  • Downloaded games from itunes for ipod touch cant get them to upload to my ipod why???

    Hi just downloaded games for my ipod touch from itunes.
    And when i click apply the apps wont transfer across to the ipod even after it has synced with pc.
    Can anyone help PLEASE?????

    - Do yo have Restrictions set that would prevent syncing them to the iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
    - Have yo synced apps from that iTunes library to your iPod before? You can only sync apps from your one syncing computer..
    - Have you tried redownloading them directly to your iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Transfering music from itunes to ipod touch

    I bought my ipod touch about 8 months ago and I used to transfer music without creating an itunes library and every thing worked OK.  I updated my itunes and ipod software about a month ago and I have had nothing but problems.   I now use an itunes library and transfer my music from it to my ipod.   I just recently updated to the latest software and firmware and now I can't move any music from the library to the ipod.  I drag the song from the library to my device and let it go and it flashes a couple of times and that is it, nothing else.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Help!

    There is a problem with itunes or maybe ios7. Most user can's transfer their music on any ios devices.
    I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it with no luck. As usual..... apple will wake up and fix this issue.
    It sounds weird but every time apple releases new major upgrades there is always a BUG that ****** off users like you and I. But there is always a fix at the corner.

  • Cannot copy songs from itunes to ipod touch, although I've downloaded latest itunes version. Please help..

    I've downloaded latest version of itunes but still didn't allow me to drag the songs that I want to my ipod touch. Anybody could help?? Thanks!

    Hello Juminten Cinta,
    Since you are trying to manually add content to your iPod Touch, have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?
    If it's already ticked, what exactly happens when you try to drag the songs over to your iPod?

  • Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

    Hi all,
    I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
    If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
    What could be the issue?

    I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

  • "Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

    Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
    I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
    I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
    Thanks for any info.

    Basics from the manual are:
    Restart, reset, restore

  • How to delete un-listened to podcasts from itunes and iPod touch

    Hi all,
    I'm sure this is an easy one.
    I have a bunch of old podcasts (The New York Times front page) that I never listened to. I can delete them off the iPod Touch 4G by swiping and then hitting "delete," but of course they come back when I sync to iTunes.
    How can I get these old podcasts off iTunes forever? I have checked "automatically include all unplayed episodes of all podcasts." Surely the answer is in there somewhere, but I don't want to delete the unplayed episodes of OTHER podcasts.
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

  • Downloading photos from Itunes to Ipod Touch

    Itunes says I have 311 pics to download to Ipod touch but only 177 pics will download.  Why?  I cleared all pics, then redownloaded, did the same thing.  279 pics in one folder.  Is this too many?  But if I selected all, it was trying to download 1000 pics but I stopped it because I didn't want all those pics on my Ipod Touch.  Thanks in advance for any help.  I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.

    Open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder
    and look for a folder titled "iPod Photo Cache".  Move it to the Desktop, launch iPhoto and try again.
