The video tab in ipod options

Hey!! Got a quick question. Has anyone heard of something like this... When i plug my 30g video into computer start up itunes and everything is running ok, but then i go into ipod options and select the video tab, everything is grey water mark.. and i cannot select anything such as automatically update videos or manually or anything like that, and i do have videos in itunes and on my ipod already i dont know what it is, please help, much appreciated thanx

The Video tab is all greyed out if you have your iPod set to Manually manage music (in iTunes -> Preferences -> iPod -> Music).
If you are manually managing music, you must manually manage videos as well. You do this the same way you copy music over to your iPod.

  • The video tab in ipod is locked- cannot load dvd (.mp4 files) files to ipod

    I converted the dvd files to .mp4 files (Using cusoft).
    The files were loaded in the itune (by using add files to library). I can play the dvd in the itune on my pc but cannot transfer the dvd files to the ipod because:
    The dvd tab in the ipod is locked (white out). I can see the white out: [X] do not update video files .
    Since the dvd tab is locked out I cannot transfer the dvd files to the ipod. I used the latest verson of itune and ipod programs.
    Please reply directly to: [email protected]
    Urgent help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Sahay, 
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You've posted in the iMac G3 forum - the users here, including myself, have little or no experience of using iTunes on Windoze. You'll be far better to repost your question in the iTunes for Windows forum.

  • Make appear the video tab in my ipod ??

    Hi! I bought a ipod nano, And I got a problem with it, When I want add Videos from my computer I cannot do it, Or I don't know how, I saw in the ipod nano guide that I need go to itunes and then click in the little ipod that is in the right ok I already did it But i can't find the video tab in there, and I can't find the video option in my ipod too. My other question is how I can add notes to my ipod, Because I cannot see the folder for add notes when I connect my ipod, I'm really confused I you help please, can I have some way to resolve my problem? Or I have to send back my ipod?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your iPod is not broken and does not need repair.
    The iPod nano does not support videos and cannot play them. iTunes will not give you the option of putting videos onto the iPod nano as it cannot play them. What you are experiencing is normal.
    As for notes, see this...

    There is no enable disk use option for iOS Devices.  See this article for instructions on copying videos and photos from your iOS device to your PC.

  • "Sync All Movies" option is missing from the Videos tab.

    Hi,
    I just imported 453 short movie clips (totaling around 1.8 GB) into iTunes and now I want to synchronize them to my iPhone. I noticed that the option to "Sync All Movies" as found in previous versions of iTunes or perhaps only enabled for other devices is missing from the Videos tab under my iPhone's sync options. Is Apple seriously suggesting that I have to manually check off 453 boxes in a list box that only displays 10 items vertically at a time? I'm at a loss for words.
    If there's any way I can have iTunes automatically do this, please let me know. Here's a screenshot of the feature in question, MIA for me:
    http://www.info.apple.com/images/kbase/304680/syncmovies.jpg
    Thanks.

    My mistake, apparently shift clicking one item selects them all. I was trying to do the Windows CTRL + A shortcut (which works in the Library view but not in the list box of Videos to sync).
    I guess that makes me a typical Windows user.

  • "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

    I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
    I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
    My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
    I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
    I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
    I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
    I've tried everything.
    I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
    I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
    I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
    Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
    But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Another USB port?
    - When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Everytime I try to use the video camera, my ipod automatically restarts???

    Everytime I try to use the video camera, my ipod automatically restarts. I just need to bring the clicker to the Video section on the main menu for it to turn on and off again. I have to scroll over it really fast so it doesn't restart. My dad bought it a few months ago and I just opened it about a week ago. So far, I've synced it once, taken it out out without first ejecting it, and using it on a lamp iHome. Should restoring the ipod do the trick? Is this a common issue with the rest of you?

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • I can't get the video to my ipod!

    I have managed to get movies and video to the computer have no idea how to it to get it onto itunes and then onto the ipod. Please Help!!!
    I have 30G Video iPod using a Windows XP environment.

    Don't use videora-the majority of video problems posted here trace back to videora.
    Otherwise he is right, you need some software to convert the videos to an iPod accepted format.
    The formats are:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    The above seems pretty scary, huh?
    That's why almost all converters have the nifty little single click iPod button.
    Mpeg streamclip works well for me, has windows version.
