Transferring purchased digital DVD copy to iPod

I recently purchased a DVD (Juno) with a redeemable code to download a digital copy for use with an iPod. I followed the instructions, redeemed the code, and was able to download it into iTunes. However, when I try to sync it to my iPod (30G 5th generation), I am told that I'm not authorized to play it on my computer. What's going on, and how can I get the copy I bought to sync?

I am having an exact same problem! How do you "authorize" the movie, please?

Transferring videos from DVDs onto the iPod

Is it possible to transfer a Movie from a DVD onto my iPod. If so, how? I have tried, but it doesn't work. Do I need to change the type of file that the video is? I have a 5th Generation iPod Video 30GB, but I will be getting an iPod classic 80GB soon.

I am afraid copying a movie DVD to iTunes would be illegal if you look at the copyright notice on the DVD. It would involve breaking the copy protection and it is against the forum terms of use to discuss this.

Disk drive continues to eject digital dvd copy.

I recently puchased blu-ray with digital copy combo. I tried to load digital copy to redeem but disk drive continues to eject digital dvd without reading it and no dialogue box. How do I fix to redeem movie?

If disk drive rejects ONLY that disk, then you have a compatibility issue with that disk or that generation of disks. What about other optical disks, CDs or DVDs? Do they behave OK? If a superdrive, test recording a CD or DVD using a rw disk. If all is OK, the answer is simple: that very disk is not compatible with that generation of optical drives.
that generation of optical drives cannot—for sure—run blu-ray disks.

Digital DVD copy not working

I've installed many digital DVD copies before so I don't know what went wrong and how I can re-download it, since I can't use the same code twice. Is it even a fixable problem?
There's no picture – it's just a white screen instead, no sound. It's for a recent release, "Twilight."

Hi,
Have you installed any 3rd-party QuickTime components?

Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

Purchased music not copying to IPod

I've recently purchased several songs from ITunes. The songs downloaded fine to ITunes but they won't copy to my IPod. When I try to move them to my IPod, it says "Syncing IPod. Do not disconnect." But it never copies. I have a few other songs from a previous purchase which copy fine so the problem seems to be with the new ones only. It says that my IPod software is up to date and ITunes is up to date also. Anyone have this problem, or more importantly, have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks!

Not All Purchased Music Will Copy To iPod

Some of my purchased music will not copy to my iPod, giving my the "...your computer is not authorized..." message. The "uncopyable" will play on my computer. I've de-authorized and re-authorized this computer. I've reloaded the iTunes software. Any help out there?

Yeah, that happens a lot, but there can be all sorts of fixes for it.
What version iTunes? (itunes > help > about, let it scroll up)
What is the date of the iPod Updater? The newest is 2006-03-23.

Have you played at least a few seconds of a song from the album that won't transfer?

Purchased songs dont copy to ipod

heyas! my purchased songs at itunes dont update to my ipod! in fact.. i had them in my ipod but they dont know why were deleted (but i still have them on my pc and in the "purchase" folder) but i cant update them again to ipod!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they transfer?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs transfer now?

Transferring purchases from Itunes to my Ipod

I purchased new music from Itunes. It is in my Library and will not transfer over to my Ipod. I did get a new computer that operates on Windows Vista. How can I get my old music and new music from my library to transfer onto my Ipod.

You possibly have to authorize your purchases again:
Either play one of your purchased tracks through itunes itself (you'll be asked for authorizaton then)
Or use iTunes Menu -> Store -> Authorize Computer

We transferred purchases / synced an iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, and then updated the ipod. we can no longer put the files back onto the ipod. what are we doing wrong]

we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code. we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.

Hello Jean164,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

Transfered purchases from other ipod wont go on my ipod

I recently transfered purchases from my friend's ipod onto my computer, but when I try to put those songs, games, and videos onto my ipod, they will not load. Why is this?

Because you did not purchase those songs.

I had ITunes on a Dell laptop. I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive. The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized. My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq. I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out.

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This is the switch to enable automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below.
Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).

Transferring Purchases from iPod to New Computer

I have recently gotten a new laptop and I am having problems transferring my purchases from my iPod to the laptop. I have authorized the new computer and have followed the instructions given by Apple on how to transfer (Transfer Purchases from "__" with the iPod connected). However, it only "transfers" a few of the songs and I still can't play them. When I try to play any of the songs, it says that it can't locate the original file.
Before connecting my iPod, I had transferred all of my music to my computer via an external hard drive. I have also tried moving the music files to the iTunes Media/Music folder as well as adding the original file from my hard drive to the iTunes library.

There is authorization and "authorization"
I did a similar move. I replaced my Itunes server with a new build. I successfully saved off the old Itunes folder to my Network Attached Storage box and later copied that archive from the NAS into My Music on the new Itunes server.
The Itunes folder contained different types of data.
For CDs I loaded DIRECTLY into Itunes, the data includes authorization to play the data - because Itunes verified that it was an origional CD that was played directly into Itunes.
In a similar manner, if you have Itunes data that was purchased and downloaded from the Itunes Store, then you need to "Authorize" the computer with Itunes in order to play that Itunes Store procured data. This is the "you have done 3 of 5" authorization.
Finally, for CDs that I loaded into my old server via Windows Media Player, when I did a consolidate in Itunes, it went out and found the WMP data on a disk I dedicated to WMP music files, and since it was authorized in WMP, Itunes would play it. When I went to the new server, Itunes had the Itunes version of the songs in its library, but would NOT play the songs that had been migrated into Itunes from WMP until I actually connected the hard drive with the WMP files on it so Itunes could satisfy itself that it has "autorized" copies of the music. As soon as I connected the Windows Media Player data drive, Itunes did a compare and updated the Itunes versions of the songs imported from WMP to authrized and plays them just fine.
The alternative is to reload from the origional media.
Hope this helps.

How do I copy my DVDs to my iPod Touch?

Just got an iPod Touch for Xmas but cannot seem to copy my DVDs to my iPod Touch.
Please note that I am posting from the UK & that I therefore have Region 2 DVDs.

If you are referring to commercially produced DVD movies, unfortunately, because of copyright issues discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."
