Syncing videos on ipod using Itunes

I don't know why but suddenly my Itunes preference won't let me select the video part to sync videos on my 5th gen ipod. I have 23 gb left on my ipod. When going into preference and selecting video on itunes, everything is greyed out and I cannot select. Please suggest. I could sync before, not anymore. thanks kidclam

Have your music update set as "manually manage songs and playlists"? This forces the video to be in manual mode as well which is why the box gets greyed out.

  • 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.

  • When I sync my iphone 4S using iTunes it only syncs 8.5GB of music, not the entore library as specified.  Is there a capcity default limit of the amount of storage that can be used for music and if so how do I change it?

    The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?

    Most likely it would be a hardware problem.
    Is iTunes currently up to date on the computer? Try switching USB ports on the Mac if you still have more available.

    When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

    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

  • Music sync to ipod using Itunes 7.3.1 sounds like skipping cd

    Hello,
    I have an older 12" PowerBook G4. Since installing the latest Quicktime (7.2) and iTunes(7.3.1) any music that I sync with my iPod sounds like a skipping cd. The music on the iPod sound like a skipping cd for a short time and then just skips to the next song. The next song of course does the same thing. The music sounds fine when played back using iTunes. The music is encoded as a MP3 using VBR. All of the music I have previously encoded (before iTunes 7.3) and put on the iPod continues to play just fine (using the same MP3 and VBR settings). I have tried resetting my iPod, but that did not help. Only having USB 1.1 ports and am not too excited by ideas that involve syncing 40GB of music back onto my iPod.
    Any ideas what has changed in the latest software version or what can be done? It would grand to carry some new music to work.

    So, the music sounds like a skipping cd and then shortly just skips onto the next song. In Itunes I selected the skipping songs (which happen to play fine in Itunes) and used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu, deleted the skipping songs from my iPod and then added the freshly converted versions of the songs back to the iPod. This worked. No skipping and the songs played all of the way though. Why do I have to convert an mp3 created by iTunes to an mp3 using "Convert Selection to MP3" in order to make things work?
    I do not think that is the problem.
    I use a laptop with limited hard drive space. After iTunes rips my cd's into mp3's I copy the mp3 files to an external hard drive, deleted the songs from iTunes and re-add them from the external hard drive using the "Add to Library" option under "Files". I did this fora couple of cd's. Then I deleted the corresponding songs off of my iPod and re-added them. The songs on the iPod again sound like a skipping cd before just skipping on to the next song.
    One more time, I used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu to convert the skipping songs. This time I just left them in the iTunes Music folder on the internal hard drive instead moving them to the external hard drive. After deleting and re-adding the songs to my iPod the songs played fine.
    I do not use an "iTunes Music folder" on my external hard drive and like to organize my mp3's to my likings.
    The question now is, why can't mp3's be moved from the "iTunes Music" folder on the internal disk to an external disk? I do not have enough room on my internal disk to carry around my music and still accomplish work.
    I had been using the method described above for years without problems.

  • How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

    My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
    iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
    When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

    Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
    Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

  • I can no longer properly sync info from iPod to iTunes.  Did iTunes change?

    I have always been able to sync my iPod to iTunes.  It updated number of plays, date last played, ratings, etc. from the iPod to iTunes.
    I can no longer do this.  I was on the phone with Apple Support for over an hour...kept getting put on hold while the technician searched for answers...and finally a "senior advisor" told me that it's impossible for information like this to be transferred from the iPod to iTunes.  They're on "different" counting systems.  This is amazing to me, because it's worked beautifully for years, but now this won't work.  Information will transfer from iTunes to iPod, but not from iPod to iTunes.
    I don't understand what happened.

    The "expert" is wrong, partially.  You must be using automatic syncing in order for iTunes to keep the "supporting data" (such as ratings and playcount) in sync.  With automatic syncing, it is iTunes's  "job" to keep the iTunes library on the computer "in sync" with the library on the iPod.  You tell iTunes to replicate either the entire iTunes library on the iPod (if it will fit) or a defined subset of the iTunes library on iPod, and iTunes keeps all data for that media content in sync between iTunes library and iPod.
    However, if you use the manual method to load content (drag and drop items on the iPod in iTunes), with the Manually manage music (and videos) setting on the iPod's Summary screen, THEN the iTunes library on the Mac is separate from the library on the iPod.  iTunes just loads the media files on the iPod and then "forgets" about it.  You can delete songs on the computer, and they stay on the iPod because iTunes doesn't care.  In this case, iTunes also does not care about the supporting data, so things like ratings and playcount are not synced back to the Mac.  Afterall, that song on the iPod may not even exist in the iTunes library anymore.  It's possible that NONE of the song on the iPod are in the computer's iTunes library.

  • Copy music from one iPod to other iPod using iTunes

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes or from one iPod to another, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod and copy them back to iTunes, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Compressing video for iPod using QuickTime 7 Pro ("expert")

    Hi all,
    I purchased QuickTime 7 Pro thinking I would be able to compress 640x480 H.264 video for an iPod. I have a specific application that requires precise control over the compression -- that is, the no-option "Movie to iPod" export setting ain't gonna cut it.
    I have tried many, many different setting combinations using "Movie to MPEG-4" and "Movie to QuickTime Movie" under "File" --> "Export" in QuickTime, and I have been careful to limit sizes and bitrates per iPod tech specs as published on the Apple Web site. However, while all of the H.264 files I have output will open in iTunes, none of them will sync to my iPod. Videos I output using standard MPEG-4 compression will sync to my iPod (and look awful), but videos using H.264 will not.
    Does anyone know what settings I can use to export 640x480 H.264 video to my iPod, and how I can have more control over the process than just "Movie to iPod?"
    Thanks!
    -- Joey

    Welcome to the discussions, Joeysirmons.
    The developer that created VisualHub (Only for the Mac) has discovered how to create iPod compatible 640x480 video where the user has full control over the compression. The changes he made were to some public libraries so these methods should be finding their way to the ffmpeg based tools for Windows soon.
