Three questions: Problem syncing, video problem, podcast problem

I had a 4GB Nano and now I've upgraded to a 5th gen. 80GB Classic. I'm having 3 issues.
The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect." I just disconnect the iPod anyway and it is fine. This doesn't really bother me, but maybe it is causing the other two problems.
The second problem is a video is not syncing. I added 3 to my library at the same time. All 3 are shown in iTunes, but only 2 sync. Neither iTunes nor the iPod indicate a problem. I checked everywhere (even in music) in the iPod, but I cannot find the video. I compared all 3 videos and they all have the same properties. They are MPEG-4.
The last issue may or may not be a problem. On my Nano I had podcasts configured to sync only if they are new and it worked great. Only new episodes synced. On the new classic however the last 5 podcasts sync regardless of whether they are new or not. I'm not sure why this is. It's not a problem now - I have plenty of space - but later it may be an issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

*The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect.*
Your iPod is probably enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in when it appears in the iTunes 7 source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
When an iPod set to manual update, the "enable disk use " box is greyed out and ticked by default: Safely Disconnect iPod

Problem syncing video to iPod Touch

I am trying to sync a video (.mp4) to my iPod Touch and it will not sync. I tried selecting the video in iTunes and then clicking Advanced>Create iPod or iPhone Version, but that option is greyed out (presumably because the video is already in an acceptable format for the iTouch).
I tried updating both my iTunes software and the software on my iTouch - and retried the steps above but no joy. The option is still greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I Have an Iphone 3gs and have problems syncing music and podcasts

I have had my phone now for around 15 months and have not had previous problems with it.
I synced my phone today and it has cleared all music and podcasts from it and will not allow me to resync - apps are syncing fine.
It is a 32GB phone but on summary page it now says its capacity is only 4GB
Any ideas on what I have done or how to fix?
Thanks

If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music. Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

Problem syncing video capture with audio sountrack

Hi,
I'm a drummer. I'm trying to use iMovie to record a video of me drumming to a pre-recorded song. I want the final video to be me drumming with mixed audio of both my drumming and the original soundtrack. (Here's an example of someone else doing this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgqYkBFSva4)
I'm recording the video using iMovie's import from FaceTime (ie. straight from my MacBook Air) and then adding the song that I played along with as an additinal audio track from iTunes, and syncing.
This is where I hit a problem, and it's driving me nuts. When I sync the iTunes song into my iMovie project I use waveform view to line it up so start of the song is perfectly in sync with the start of the video of my drumming. That works fine. But then gradually over the course of the video the song track goes out of sync with the video/audio of me playing, and by the end of a 6 minute song there's a very noticable gap, which both looks and sounds terrible.
This is very strange since it's the same audio track I was playing along to! In real-time when recording I was obviously in sync with the music, but then when adding it back to the recording it somehow no longer lines up.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Is this a frame-rate issue?
It seems to me this shouldn't be so hard to do what I'm trying to do ...
Thanks!
Ari

Hey Ari,
I was having a similar problem perhaps and this is what I did to fix it.

Re: iMovie '11 audio sync issues since 9.01 patch
Jan 24, 2012 12:11 AM (in response to Urban Shocker)
Hi All,
I've been dealing with this sync problem tonight as well and here's what I found that worked.
I noticed that the audio sync was fine when I viewed in Quicktime 7, but not in iMovie. I also noticed there was a small indicator on the clips in iMovie notating that the source clips were in 17 fps, not 30 fps. This is odd because I recorded the clips using the FaceTime HD camera right into iMovie and it never gave me the option for framerate on the recording. Viewing the source video in Finder I also realized that the codec for the source was Photo Jpeg... yuck. Who's choice was that.
Using MPEG Streamclip (free video converter) I converted the source video clip to a Quicktime .mov at 30 fps and using the Apple Intermediate Codec and all the audio sync issues were fixed. Didn't have to optimize, detach, or - most importantly - re-edit anything. Apple's editing systems love Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC), I don't know why they don't import in this codec by default.

Problem syncing video

I am unable to sync my videos in Iphoto to my Ipad. They are taken with a Canon D10 camera and are listed as MVI.Mov. It looks like this is a compatable format but when I sync I get an error message saying they can't be played on my Ipad. Can anyone help?

Have yo tried using the Create iPad and Apple TV Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes? There are different attributes for ,mov files and the iPad can't play all of them.

Having problems syncing video

curtain avi and mpg video will sync, but not the rest?

iTunes only supports .mp4, & .mov
Convert to one of those formats and try again.

Problem syncing video from itunes to ipod

I bought two episodes of a tv show from the itunes music store. when I plug in my ipod to update, it says that "some of the songs in the itunes music library, including the song "brian regan," were not copied to the ipod "ipod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
I bought these two episodes last night, on this computer, and I haven't connected this ipod to any other computers. plus, these are supposed to be tv shows... why does it say songs? I don't see the point in even purchasing videos if I can't put them on my ipod.
can anyone help?

Try playing the TV Show straight from your iTunes library. It will probably ask you for your iTMS login information. Punch it in, and everything should work fine.

.MOD-files problem with video playback - no problems to convert dot mpg. Why?

hi,
I wonder why I can convert *.mod files with the Adobe Media-Encoder but can not play them neither with Windows media player nor Adobe Media Player.
Does anybody know how I can play *mod-files without installing another mediaplayer?
I think playing *.MOD-files must be possible because the right codec seems to be installed on the system - otherwise the Adobe Media Encoder would not be able to convert the mod-video-file to mpg.
I also tried renaming the mod-files to mpg, mp4, mov... these 2tricks" from the web did not work.
The MOD-fils are recordings from a camera of a friend of mine. i think it is a panasonic.
thanks a lot for help.
PS My System: I am using windows 7 pro/64. My Aodbe products: Master Collection CS5, Lightroom 4.
All updates are installed.

one more thing that i forgot to mention: Audio is working always fine.

Regular problem with video playback & audio video sync

So, I am regularly having two problems (I wonder whether they are connected) that I cannot solve and am hoping someone can tell me if I am out of luck or if I need to do something or add something.
For example, because it happened again today. These are details about the file stuff:
Type:AVI
Bit Rate:133kbps
Dimensions:624x352
Audio format: LameMP3
Frame rate: 23 frames/second
Data Rate: 1131 kbps
Video Sample Size: 12 bit
Video Compression: XVID
First Problem: If I play the file - I use Media Player Classic - it plays fine. Open it in Windows Media Player and it plays fine. Try to edit it in Premiere and the file loaded into Premiere is filled with what I believe are called audio video sync problems, so I have to constantly unlink audio and video and adjust it. It loads and does not need to conform.
I have the same problem on my laptop(Windows XP Home) and desktop (XP Pro), the desktop with twice the RAM. I have the K-lite Mega codec pack installed. I would call myself a beginner when it comes to video editing. I understand generally what codecs are but I am not capable to making any tweaks to the K-lite Mega codec pack (if I should have) so it is setup as installed.
Second Problem: The video in the playback box never plays back normally. I have tried adjusting the playback settings: have changed the aspect ratio between the software and harware option and adjusted between the three desktop display options. Occasionally it is "ok" but most of the time not and never just normal.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried this already and then we had a blackout so going to try again and hope it goes through before a second one...lol
Hello:
Thank you Robert J. Johnston, the_wine_snob, Paul_LS and SteveGrisetti for your help so far.
So this is where I am at now:
Files all seem to be of the same type, so I will just say "the file" for the one I am working with right now.
Loaded file into VirtualDub. I like that program. Well done, whoever made it. Did some basic cutting of unwanted stuff. Saved as AVI. Saved both a Direct Stream Copy and a Full Processing Copy.
Opened the FP copy in Premiere Elements and it plays without audio sync problems that I can see. Have edited it some so far and still no problems.
Before I do any more editing work, I decided to save it (SHARE) in different formats to see what happens.
Goal: Looking for no audio sync problems. Best quality I can get with a 1GB file size limit.
Saved as DV-AVI: plays fine. no audio sync probelms. love the video quality. 2.95GB, so too big
Saved as Flash: Do not see any audio sync problems. Do NOT like the quality (flips back and forth between clear and all pixely (is that a word). 32 MG
Saved as Mpeg: Media Player won't play it (thought Media Player with KL Mega Codec played everything?) (It loads it but doesn't play?); Quicktime won't play it. Windows Media Player just did. Do not see any audio sync problems. Like the video quality. 631 MB.
Saved as Windows Media: Do not "think" there are any audio sync problems; if there are, they are very subtle. Not crazy about video quality. Better than flash video option though still flickers between two types of qaulity (if that makes sense) . 52MB
Any suggestions as to what I should do at this point to meet my stated goal. I assume [share]ing is what I should do? Is there any exporting or any other options I do not know about. Without your help I figure I will Share to MPEG? Not sure why Media Player won't play it and Windows Media Player will?
Any thoughts on the best choice for me? Thanks for your help.

Syncing podcasts problems

I have an iPod Touch 2G but have been having problems syncing my podcasts. The sync process does not seem to recognize when a podcast has been listened to on the iPod and will not mark it as read on the master list in iTunes.
This morning I again tried to sync my iPod to eliminate all the read/listened to podcasts from the iPod. I was able to add all the new podcast episodes but nothing got removed and nothing got marked in iTunes as having been listened to. In other words the blue dots were correctly identifying used podcasts on the iPod but would not update my list on iTunes. I tried syncing using all, all new and all unplayed with the same results each time.
When I look at the podcast list on my iPod using it's menu in iTunes everything has blue dots including all my listened to podcasts! Yet, when I check the iPod itself the blue dots correctly identify listened to, partially listened to and not yet listened to status of each podcast.
What I have to do right now is sync the iPod to get all new material installed and then disconnect the iPod from my computer and manually go through each podcast, visually compare titles of each session, see if it was listened to on the iPod and then delete it from the iTunes list. This seems ridiculous!
My old iPod mini used to sync without a problem and I could rely upon iTunes to update and maintain my list of podcasts.
So what setting am I missing to be able to get iTunes to sync and update the status/blue dots on my podcasts?
Thanks for any help.
Sue

I suspect you're not missing any setting.
I recently noticed that an episode I had listened to fully and did not have the blue button next to it, suddenly got the blue button back again! No - I'm not imagining it, it was the only episode of that particular programme that I had listened to. It probably happened after a Sync.
There is another slight problem with the Touch though. The Touch has the new feature of a partial blue dot for a part-listened-to episode, which I like very much, but iTunes does not recognise the partial blue dot. When I've checked, iTunes completely removes the blue dot even though the Touch has a partial. Therefore, I keep all episodes on the Touch, to make sure iTunes doesn't think I've finished with it and remove it.

Video/DVD conversion problems and questions

I have been using i-tunes for a couple years. The music libary and its functionality is superb however after getting an Iphone I have been trying to fully understand the concept of the required video/dvd conversion before itunes will accept them.
I have used a couple different programs to convert content into Mpeg-4 itunes acceptable format. However when attempt to snyc video to my iphone several issues arise. First I have had content in my movie/video libary that for whatever reason will not transfer to the phone. Sometimes itunes will transfer a specific video and then on a later snycing, it will leave that same content out. Bizarre. I had 4 videos loaded into itunes and at one point I had all of them on the phone. During my last snyc session although they were checked, in the movie libary, they were not transferred.
I have been using the itunes conversion option even after its been coverted into Mpeg-4, is this neccessary ? I have ripped a full length purchased dvd and loaded it onto Itunes, however it will not sync to the phone. Should I be able to load an entire movie if I have the available space or is there a capacity limit ?
Can someone describe a process from start to finish, that will decode/convert video/dvd's into Itunes acceptable format that will also allow snycing to my I-phone without all of these constant issues ?
Thanks !
S ~

Ok folks let's disengage the panic button. This is more of a means of sorting out a movie/video clip snync problem than trying to circumvent legalities and or discuss copyright violations none of which are present.
i/tunes seems to make up it's own mind regarding which vid clips are transferred to the iphone even when all selections are formatted and are checked. No error message, no indicators, some files move while others do not.
Any ideas ?

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.
