Syncing videos

Does anyone know how to get videos I bought in iTunes that are installed on my iPod touch to load onto my iPad and vice versa? They both sync to the same MacBook. Any help is appreciated. Thx

In the same way the videos were transferred to your iPod Touch.
Under the Movies tab and/or under the TV Shows tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes depending on if a Movie or TV Show is where you select which Movies or TV Shows to be transferred to your iPad followed by a sync.

Ipod no longer syncs video. Why?

On the 20th July 2011 I updated to itunes 10.4, ever since then I have been unable to sync videos to my ipod. the program I use to convert videos has not changed. The video format has not changed. Aside from total size and length the videos are identical to each other only the ones transferred before this update are on the ipod, and any I attempt to transfer since do not.
Why?
There is no logical reason behind this, it is infuriating. All I get is a message telling me "cannot sync video to ipod as it is unable to be played on this ipod.". is there a way to get further information from this message? Is it possible for it to tell me the exact reason it refuses to transfer the file? that would be lovely.
All I want for Christmas is my videos on my ipod.

Video format has not changed, aside from total size and length?
iPod has lower H264 format, up to 1.5mps 640x480.
iPod can play the following video formats:
* H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* H.264 video, up to 768 kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
* MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
When you convert, go for the lower quality iPod format if you want to play it on iPod, else the new iTunes will convert to higher format of 1080p for iPhones, iPad
Good Luck!

Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB. I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB. Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone. Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
Here's what I've always done: I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable. Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window. Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer. Finally I hit "Apply." The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced. They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them. This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone. I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info." I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

Itunes 10.4.1: does not sync videos and does not communicate with outlook calendars

Hellos,
Since upgrade to itunes 10.4 I have found the following problems and no solutions yet from apple (altought version 10.3 worked flawlessly):
1)When you check "include videos" on the sync photos tab, you get an error. The "solution" is to uncheck sync videos, but what if you want your videos?
2)I noticed today the calendar has issues. Appointments you input in outlook (on a calendar that is supposedly synched with iphone/ipad) do not show on the devices and viceversa (although they do show on iphne and ipad if you sync both, but outlook is left behind.
In outlook I have calendar and calendar mobile (the second is the one I sync to iphone). To test, I included a new calendar (calendar mobile test) and I as suspected when trying to sync, the new calendar does not show in itunes options to check the selected calendars. The previous library info probably show my mobile calendar (that was synched already) but the new one does not show up, so I think there is really a problem in itunes.
These bugs have been around now for some time now, and I am really surprised that are not adressed more agressively by apple developers.
While videos may seem as a secondary thing if you look at it from a corporative point of view (but ****!!! I WANT my videos on the my ipad and iphone!!!!), not synching appointments you add to the ipad/iphone and you expect to show on outlook and viceversa, are meant to be an unplesant surprise for those who rely on these devices.
Bottomline: I like ipad/iphone, but APPLE..., you need to solve these issues that have been around the forum for some time now. Common!!!

I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.

Synced videos doesn't show up on iPad

Hello,
I have two videos (one mp4 and one m4v) that I've successfully transfered to the iPad through iTunes.
But when I start the Video app, the screen says "No Videos".
How do I make the synced videos show up on my iPad?
If I go to Settings -> General -> About on the iPad, it says 0 movies.
But in iTunes, the movies are in fact on the iPad, and I can watch them fine, streamed from my iPad, within iTunes on my PC.

Just been struggling with this issue myself on my little girl's iPad. Turns out that I had synced a rated movie but had restrictions on the iPad that prevented viewing of that movie. I lifted the restrictions (in General settings) and the movie appeared.

Is there anyway to sync videos shot from an iPad to an iTunes library using home sharing instantly?

Hey everyone. So at work we are trying to figure out another way to shoot speeches and have them available for the customer to review instantly. We were thinking about using Home Sharing to do this, to sync these videos to an iTunes library. However, it seems to only work the other way around, from iTunes to the iPad. The problem is is that when you take videos or pictures with your iPad they go immediately to your camera roll. Is there any way to sync videos you have taken with the iPad to iTunes using Home Sharing? Thanks!

Not sure about the Home Sharing method.

Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

I have this question too. I made my own video on my iPhone 4S. I want to put it on my iPad. I synced it to my iPhoto, and trying now to move it to iPad. The computer WILL NOT do this. Why not? I occasionally get messages it's not in a correct format, but for God's sake, I filmed it on the phone, in whatever format Apple uses. ***?

I can no longer sync videos from iTunes to my iPhone 6 after updating to 8.0.2.

After updating to 8.0.2, my movies disappeared from my iPhone - it states "No Content". My iTunes show that I have "Sync Movies" checked with 9 movies selected, but they are not syncing. When I choose, "Sync", iTunes go through all the steps, but no movies sync. When i deselect "Sync Movies" then reselect it, the bar at the bottom shows the Purple portion that represents Movies - it goes through with the syncing process, then the Movie portion disappears when the sync is done, thus leaving NO movies synced to my device.

Disregard this... I found the issue. I have AirWatch MDM installed. For some reason, the restrictions blocked me from syncing videos. I don't know how that happened being that I am the Admin for the AirWatch MDM at my company - I made sure i allowed everything possible being that its configured for BYOD. I guess something with the update to 8.0.2 screwed with it somehow. It worked fine after uninstalling the AirWatch Profile and MDM.

5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

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 try to watch synced video on my itouch i get "the requested url cannot be found on this server". I am able to watch the video on my pc in itunes. however, i cannot watch it on my itouch.

When i try to watch synced video on my itouch i get "the requested url cannot be found on this server". I am able to watch the video on my pc in itunes. However, i cannot watch it on my itouch. It shows in the video window that the video is there but when i select it to watch it i get the message and then it goes back to the video menu. It's like it's not really syncing - even though it shows on my itouch. It doesn't seem to be specific to videos downloaded to the itouch directly or itunes directly. It's happening to both.

This is happening to me too. I recently purchased about 4 music videos from iTunes, 3 of them play on both my pc and my iPod Touch but there's one particular music video that will only play on my pc and gives me the same "The requested url cannot be found on this server" message when I try to play it on my iPod. Can someone please rectify?

ITunes crashes whenever I try to sync videos

Hey everyone,
Just yesterday I purchased a new 6th Gen iPod Classic, and syncing music is fine, but when it comes to syncing videos it's a totally different story.
I sync my iPod (which has all the music on) and there are no more songs to go on it, so I decide to put on some videos. However, when I try to sync the iPod again, intending for videos to go on, iTunes crashes and asks me to send an error report. I've tried this about a million times now, and have tried resetting my iPod, all with no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to make the videos sync without me having to pull out more hair from my head?!

You should try an alternative iPod manager such as these http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22

Syncing Videos in iPhoto with Apple TV

In syncing iPhoto to iTunes both pix and videos taken on my iPhone sync up and I have checked the box, 'sync videos', in iTunes/Devices/iPhone/Photos tab. The pics come over to Apple TV without problem and I can view them thereon via My Photos. However, the video doesn't come across. Am I missing something or this not currently possible?

Hello, I have this problem. My Itunes Library is located on external drive. Where exactly should I place the file. Once in place what should be done next so the file can be accessed by ATV?
the location of the library is irrelevant really.
just import the file(s) into itunes using File > Add To Library.
if itunes is configured correctly then it will import to wherever your itunes library is hosted.
if the file(s) isn't already appletv compatible, then right click on the file and choose "create appletv version"
