Transfer AVI movie file to Itunes to upload to Ipod Touch

Hi
Just got Ipod touch and have some movies/tv shows on desktop that I want to put to my ipod. Tried the Save file to library on itunes but nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can put these AVI files to my ipod touch.
Simple instructions appreciated, first ipod so still learning the ropes.

You need to find Windows software to convert .avi to .mp4 or .mov, then import that file into iTunes, then sync it.

    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is.

  • Can't upload .mov files to iTunes anymore

    Hi!  I don't know if this just started when I upgraded to Lion and did all of the recent updates to iTunes, and added iCloud, etc, but suddenly I can't drag .mov files into iTunes like I used to be able to do. I can't add them with the Add To Library menu either. Because of this I can't put them on my iPad. Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix?  TIA!

    Actually, I can't open anything in quicktime anymore. I've tried opening avis, mov, mp4 and m4a files... all give the same error message and number. I've reinstalled both qt and itunes but no luck.

  • How can i transfer avi movie to iphone

    How can I transfer the .Avi Movie to iphone?

    AVI format can not be recognized by iTunes, so you need to convert the avi to an more mac friendly file like mp4, m4v for adding to your iPhone.

    Use Appgeeker to convert the file into one that can be played on your iphone. It has a lot of presets that you can use to convert it into the exact format that will play on your Apple products.

  • How do I transfer a movie file from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

    I recently accidentally deleted all media files that existed in the iTunes Media folder on my MacBook Pro. I have managed to recover almost every file, the only one I have yet to recover is a movie that was redeemed through iTunes after I purchased it as part of a DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. It is no where to be found on my hardrive yet the 'phantom' file still extsts within my iTunes library. After checking all of our family's Apple devices (2 iPhones, 5 iPads, 1 older MacBook, & 1 MacBook Pro) I was delighted to discover the movie still exists on my stepson's iPad Mini! Only now I cannot seem to find a way to 'transfer' this movie file back onto my MacBook Pro. I am refusing to sync or update his iPad Mini in fear that I might loose the only copy of the movie I have left! Can someone please help me transfer this file back to my MacBook Pro? Thanks so much!

    This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.

    It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
    You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

  • Trying to transfer a movie file from my ipod to my pc

    I am trying to put a movie file I have saved on my ipod classic and transfer it over to my pc. Now the ipod is set up to work with my macbook so when I hook it up to the pc it wants me to reformat it. I am using the ipod as an external storage so the movie file does not come up in my itunes. I do this sometimes just to transfer large files from my macbook to my wifes macbook pro. This is the first time I am trying to use it with a pc. If I reformat the ipod for the pc I am assuming I will lose all of my music that is on the ipod right? Thanks for any help to can give me.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The movie file is stored in a folder inside of data, when i try and delete either by dragging to trash or clicking move to trash it comes up with (The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.).
    I am just treating this file the same as anything else in finder, which is generally what i have always done.

  • How do I transfer a .mov file to my iPad from my Mac?

    If .mov files are compatible with iPad, you can add your .mov file to iTunes and sync it to your iPad.

  • IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

    My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

    Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

  • Burning AVI movie files to DVD, whats the trick in iDVD?

    I have AVI movie files that I want to burn to a DVD. I am able to "import" the file and do all the extras with iDVD but I am unable to select chapters and when I try to preview the movie its just a blank screen. What am I missing?!

    Hi
    .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and can hold Codecs that iDVD can use or NOT
    • Open it in QuickTime Player
    • then open Inspector (cmd+I)
    • read - Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?

  • Playing AVI movie files??

    Help. I have 3 Macs: G4 Flat Panel, Imac G5- which play AVI movie files just fine. Mac Mini (specs below) which does not. Been at it for hours. The two older ones are non-intel, the mini is intel, this is the only difference I can see. I have the same software and plug-ins installed; (quicktime pro, flip for mac, windows media player, divx plug-in, xvid) All of them are running 10.4.11. When I put in a movie encoded in AVI in the mini I get a prompt that says roughly 'additional software plugin might be needed', can't think of anything else to do. Any info appreciated. Thank you.

    If anyone else has this problem with an intel based mac here is link that solved my problem.

  • Creating slideshow with AVI movie files in iDVD 06?

    Today I was trying to create a slideshow movie with iDVD. I had some AVI movie files that came from my Canon digital camera. I wasnt able to drag them into the slideshow well, so I thought I had to convert them to a .mov file, after converting them I still wasnt able to use them. Is it possible to make a slideshow with movie files as well as pictures in iDVD 06? I know for a fact that I can do this on iDVD 08, so is it possible? thanks in advance.

    Slideshows using movies is just an iLife '08 thing.
    I suggest you do what I do. Use VisualHub to convert the AVI slideshows to DV video movies. The DV video will work great in iDVD 6 when put on a menu page.

  • Converting MOV file to iTunes file

    On my MacBook Pro, I have been converting MOV files to iTunes files. Suddenly, however, this won't work. I get the following message: Can’t make file "Macintosh HD:private:var:folders:Al:AlJFXwbEEgqKI3EA0xH26
    TI:-Tmp- How can I fix this?

    With the MOV file on my desktop, I click it open, then click on the icon that is a square with an arrow coming out of it.  This gives me the option to convert the file so it can be viewable on iTunes, Mobile me gallery, or Youtube. If I chose iTunes, previous MOV files I have converted this way appear to have been converted to m4v files for iPhone or iPod.
    Now when I click on the iTunes option, I get the "Can't make file" message.
