Syncing Video...some will, some won't

I'm certain in this busy community this question has been broached before, but I can't find an earlier thread.
I have no trouble downloading videos onto my ipod. All are supported by QuickTime and all of the content plays just fine. What IS unusual is that some videos sync automatically while the others are out of sync or cannot be synced (though you can view them just fine with the dialog slightly out of step). Apple Support can only give me information on titles that are available in the itunes store, which I never use. What makes some titles different from others when they're all in MPEG-4 format and supported by QuickTime? Is there some way around this problem where one click will sync all of my video titles properly? Thanks in advance for your help.
ipod 80g video Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Same case here. I have the same setup - and an additional iPad, which - like MobileMe - shows any Photo update made on the Mac Addressbook or on the iPad (which also does not get pushed to the iPhone).
I think that this issue is related to an iOS 4.x bug, as with iOS 3.2 on iPad there is no issue at all.
@Apple: Did you note this one as well and will provide a fix? For the time being the only thing that helps is to disconnect iPhone from Mobile Me and re-connect it again.

Trying to restore old GarageBand projects, some will, some won't?

I am on OS X 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and before the last system update (to 10.6.8) I was running Time Machine on an outboard Samsung drive, and had an Iomega external drive to which I had moved my GarageBand folder (and its pointer) and all my projects. With the update to 10.6.8, my Iomega drive was suddenly no longer accessible. I read a note on the forum that said Firewire support was dropped with 10.6.8, so I reconnected the drive with USB, but still was unable to access. I had the bright idea to restore my GarageBand projects from Time Machine, from before I had moved them to the outboard drive. I can see the projects when I do a search for "garage" on my Time Machine backups, but have only been able to restore a handful of them. The icon for some of the project files is a dark grey horizontal rectangle (the ones that =did= restore) then there are others that have a light grey horizontal rectangle as their file icon, and others that have the little tan guitar as their icons. I'm figuring these may be sets of projects from the different versions of GarageBand that have lived under OS X in its various incarnations. Whenever I select any project files other than the handful of dark-grey-rectangle files, and click "restore" in Time Machine, after asking me to select a target folder (which does exist on my Mac) I get a pop-up message that has "Copy" in the header for the pop-up, and says:
"The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
Please help me understand (a) what that error message means, it sounds like the Time Machine program is trying to improperly create a backup on my main HD, but all I want to do is copy those files to my Mac, (b) how I can get my files out of Time Machine and back onto my main HD, and (c) if I can convert them to the current GarageBand format once I get them on my machine.
I also tried to restore from Time Machine the .mp3 files that were created from my GarageBand projects, but after selecting a group of those from a Time Machine search, I got the same message about "wrong case sensitivity for a backup"... If I try to play them from my iTunes, where I had put them after creating the .mp3's in GarageBand, it gives me a message that the underlying file isn't present, so it can't play the song, which is why I'm trying to get those GarageBand files over from Time Machine. If I had only not updated to 10.6.8, I think all would have been well.
Something doesn't look quite right. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. I'm a songwriter and my old songs are now trapped in Time Machine! I'm very nervous that I might accidentally delete them instead of rescuing them.

Unfortunately, no. The error message I'm getting, about the volume not having the right case sensitivity for a backup, seems to be an inappropriate message, at least to my thinking. I am only trying to restore some old files. Seems like it would not have any problem. And the first five I restored came back just fine, I chose "choose location" and just let them come into the Applications folder, then I moved them to a separate folder on the desktop just so I could see them all together. When I went back to gather some more files, I started getting that "case sensitivity for a backup" message, and now I get it every time, even if I try to restore the same files that I already restored, to another folder of course.
It's like Time Machine thinks I'm making another backup, when all I'm trying to do is restore a few GarageBand .band files.
I played around with it some more, trying to restore a single file to an empty folder on my desktop, trying to restore to a thumb drive (got a "volume is not formatted properly" error, even though the drive already had some Quickbooks files on it I copied from my current machine successfully), and nothing I try is working.
Do I dare restart my computer and see if that clears something up? Like I said before, I fear I will end up deleting my song files, or destroying access to my outboard Time Machine backup disk. The original song files were on an Iomega external disk that my Mac cannot access anymore, it may be crashed, I will have to take it to the Genius bar to have someone look at it. But it is frustrating to see those files in my Time Machine backups and not be able to get them back on my main disk!!!!! Thanks for the help you gave, but there was nothing in there that pertained to this particular problem. Any other suggestions? Should I "eject" my Time Machine external disk and then restart the computer and reattach the Time Machine disk? Will that protect those files?
Sorry to be so full of questions. I really just need help getting these files off the Time Machine. Sounds so simple on the tutorial, but it is just not happening here. Thanks again, please, any other suggestions please send them on.

New iPad2 5.0.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 = some apps just won't sync??

I restored it (2 or 3 times - using "New config" each time) and chose my apps one by one (didn't select "Automatically sync all apps"), but some (free) apps won't sync at all. Any tips?
I'm planing on upgrading to Lion this weekend; do you think it will solve my problem?
Thank you very much for your help!

Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time (as I mentioned, I speak French (Canada), so I have to translate everything + my iPad is configured in French... )
What I have on my iPad is an "Apple Store" icon - but if I open it, I don't see a section for Apps (from what I remember - I'm at work now and don't have the iPad with me - I can access music, books, purchases, downloads and a few other options, but no Apps).
This is very new to me since living in the U.S. we have an App Sore on the iPad that sells apps, games and things like that. We alos have an itunes Store for music and TV shows and a book store in an app called iBooks.

I always download using iTunes on my iMac, and then sync everything manually (I didn't select the "Automatically sync" option for anything - apps, music, books, videos or pics). I see all the apps (57 total) in iTunes and all the boxes are checked to be synced, but for some reason, a few apps have decided not to sync...
It sue souned like you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. This method is fine for syncing the apps and it should work for you. I do not suto sync either. I never have.
The only thing I can think of is that, as I mentioned, I restored my iPad a few times already and used "Config as new iPad" (how fun THAT was!!). Then, I selected manually the apps to be synced (i.e. all of them) and pressed "Sync" (all this through iTunes / iPad folder and Apps tab) and the apps started to download... but then, as the apps were loading, I went to the Books tab and selected the books I wanted to sync and press "Apply".... Could it be that I should have waited for the apps to load completely before changing tab (videos, books, musoc, etc.)?
This may have messed up the sync because you had already clicked on sync and the you changed the configuration with the books and you clicked on Apply.
Why don't you try to sync agan? Select the apps and then click on sync. But If you have to select the apps again in iTunes - the sync button should turn into the apply button because having to select the apps changes the configuration. Any time you change the configuration you must apply the changes.
Also, do you think it will work better if I upgrade my iMac to Lion?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm new to iPad and Apps, so....
This should all work the way you are doing it now. Lion should have nothing to do with this. No need to apologize for the questions. That is why this help site exists - to answer questions!

Some itunes purchases won't sync to iphone - says computer not authorized

Last night I set up my 2 computers (desktop and laptop) to home share and authorized both. When I try to add purchased music to the library on the laptop (from the desktop), some of the albums will add fine, but some will say that the computer is not authorized. I don't remember which computer I was on when I purchased each album, but that shouldn't matter with sharing, should it? I authorized both computers and still get the error on some albums.
A while ago, I had to move all my music on the laptop (moved it all from the C: drive to the D: drive b/c I ran out of space). Would that make a difference? I can still see all my purchased music in the "purchased" folder, but can't add the albums from there either.
I can't seem to add music right to my iphone from the desktop when on the laptop either. Isn't that what the sharing should allow me to do?
I'm running Vista if that makes a difference. Please help, I want to get my music on my phone! Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
So does that mean if I buy something from iTunes, I have to buy it on one computer (desktop) and can only sync to that one? Or should I be able to pull that music to the other computer (laptop) through the Home Share and then sync to that?
Almost all of my music is on the desktop. Do I need to have it ALL on the desktop and then put whatever I want to be on the iPhone onto the Library on the laptop and sync with that?
Still not sure why some of my purchases won't add to the iPhone??

TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Why won't my downloads open? Some will and some won't.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to download images that I intend to use for an upcoming website. However, after downloading them, they won't open when I double-click on the download(s). Some will, and some from other websites will open. This occurs with other downloads that I have from other sites occasionally as well. It is very frustrating and I'm just not knowledgeable to be able to go in and try and find, or fix, the problem(s). They've been downloaded as .jpg files and I have imported the ones I could open into their own folder. What's my issue?

What is the file extension? Does that type file have a program associated
to it? Look at it using your file explorer. Right click and select '''Properties'''.

After downloading OS X Yosemite some websites won't load and some will

I recently installed Yosemite on my Macbook (mid 2010), The update went fine, except some issues with iPhoto but that is solved now, the main issue is since the update some websites on Safari and Google Chrome will not load anymore. Some will( e.g. Bing) but most won't anymore. I have looked at system preferences and my internet connection and everything works fine. It is not just Safari and Chrome also the Appstore can't seem to connect to the internet either but Skype can. I do not know how to fix this issue.
I have another account on my laptop which works fine, this obviously also has Yosemite, internet works fine, App Store works fine etc. and it seems to me that the settings are the same. But this is not an account i normally use and i would like to be able to use my normal one again.

HI I am having the same problem.
1. The Activity window on Safari doesn't show anything. Sometimes it shows a ?.
2. Booted on Safe Mode and the same thing.
3. Connected wired to the Time Capsule, Wired to the Modem and same problem but connected Wireless with Airport and it works.
4. No software PeerGuardian or Firewall installed.
5. Network utility was unable to Ping apple.com or me.com.
6. Put the OpenDNS settings and I am still not able to go to Apple.com or me.com but I am able to ping with Network Utility and if I enter the IP of Apple.com it loads. However, Me.com doesn't.
7. Tried creating another account and problem is the same.
8. With any other computer the problem is not there.
9. Direct connection with ethernet to a computer works fine for data transfer or any other DL works also fine without interruption.
I have been using Airport up until now but now I am setting a Server and I need the Ethernet working fine.
Thank you,

Why will some pdfs open but others won't?

When I open pdfs in my browser they should open as tabs but some don't. These are not different types - I'm currently doing GCSEs and on one webpage there will be, for example, links to 3 mark schemes, all the same format, same server etc. - but only 1 will open, and it will open immediately and without problems. The other two will come up with the grey screen and bar at the top which should be for pdfs, but nothing happens if I try to use this bar to download the pdfs etc. and the loading bar in the centre of the page does not load. If I refresh a lot, one of these may then open. Some will not open after being left for hours or refreshed many times, however. All of the pdfs open on other computers.
Why is this and how can I solve it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Btw, as far as I can see all the pdf extensions etc. are downloaded and installed.

I've attached an image. Are you not seeing the spinning circle and the 'Checking for updates...' message?
In that case you can download Firefox 21.0 from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Install the file and it will replace your current version. Bookmarks, history etc will be saved.

Videos on IPhone 4 won't down load to computer when syncing

I have taken a number of still pics and videos with my IPhone4 and am having trouble downloading some videos to my computer. When syncing the phone will download most of the photos and videos. I have five videos that won't download to computer.
I have tried using 2 different computers, but I still get the notice that it can't download the video and do I want to skip downloading it or try again. If you try again it still won't work. Can anyone help?

If you're just trying to drag them off the phone as shown in explorer, it will fail for very large files. You can find the videos in the backup, rename them, and use them that way. No one seems to know why the copy method fails.
On windows, find the iPhone backup folder, under something like "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Sort the files in the folder by size. The larger ones are likely your movies. Copy them out, rename them as desired, ending in .mov
If they play, you found the right file, if not, then you grabbed the wrong file.

I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.

Videos/movies will not sync

So I have about 6 or 7 videos in my Itunes, I know one for usre is :Itunes" compatible as I downloaded it in that format, however they will not sync to my 120gb Ipod. I've re-set my ipod, I've removed the vids and put them back in. but they will not work. Any ideas?

Hello BigSky132,
So some of these videos were purchased from the iTunes store and others were imported into your library from elsewhere correct?
For the imported videos, have you tried using the iTunes built in converter to convert the videos to the most iPod friendly format? To do this locate the videos in iTunes, highlight them, and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version" from the Advanced drop down menu. Once the videos have finished converting, try resyncing the newly converted version to your iPod to see if that helps.
For the downloaded video, are you sure you aren't trying to sync the HD version instead of the SD one? Is it an actual movie, tv show, or some other type of video?
How do you have your iPod set up to sync videos? Do you have the option ticked to have your iPod set up to sync all checked songs and videos from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, make sure these videos have tick marks next to them in iTunes.
B-rock

Ipod video nano will not sync

My ipod video nano use to sync but suddenly will not sync.

I have plugged the usb into several different ports, I have restarted my computer, I have re-downloaded current version of itunes......please help!

Try using some backup software like Aniosoft Smart Backup to backup your files first!

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.
