TRYING to add videos to library, ARGGHH

I cannot seem to add DVD's ( that's a movie, right?) to my iPod classic.
I went through help;
Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
Nothing works, it doesn't grab it. And if I can't add it to the Library I can't go to:
Advanced; Create ipod or iphone version.
So ok, what type is the DVD? right click DVD it says UDF.
I downloaded Freestudio Video to ipod converter 4.2.13, it doesn't take it when I try to Add Files.....
I had made a copy to the desktop, one file, with two subfiles: Audio TS and VideoTS but it won't grab them to add.....
Any comments, this is driving me crazy!

iPods cannot play DVD files. See here for the video formats supported by iPod classic

HT1176 I am trying to add my iPhoto library to files to be backed up on time machine. I am told to click on the Options Minus butto, but it is greyed out. What is the solution ?

I have been trying to add my iPhoto Library to files for time machine backup.
I was instructed to click on the Options minus button - but it is greyed out and not functional.
What is the solution ?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

You can "see" the iPhoto library in Time Machine backups, but you cannot "open" the library or "browse" the contents while you are in Time Machine.
Apple makes you restore the entire iPhoto library to another destination...like your desktop....if you want to retrieve a few older images that you may have deleted by mistake.
This is a convoluted mess, but unfortunately, that is the way it is.
See Pondini's excellent, detailed information on this:

You might also want to post in the iPhoto support area to see if the experts over there might have a workaround for you. I cannot find one, but I'm not an iPhoto expert.

I was trying to add an itunes library to my computer, and now my itunes library can not be found. An ipod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. How can I find my Itunes library, complete with playlists ?

Trying to add video podcasts to iPod Classic

I'm trying to add video podcasts to my iPod Classic 160GB. I can see them in the podcast summary page get added in the sync, but I can not find them on my iPod. I have 5 TV shows added to it and can find them under Videos but when I add the video podcasts they do not show up in the Podcasts section. Is there something I can do?

They should appear under Podcasts if they successfully synced over to the device. I assume you didn't see any error messages when you synced these video podcasts over to your device?
To be sure, reset sync warnings on the iPod by right->clicking on it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod.

Trying to add video to my site, need help

So, I am trying to add video content to my website. I've converted small video clip to test to the .flv format and have a .swf flash video player. I'm trying to embed it into my site but its giving me trouble. Here is a copy of the code I am using
<embed src="http://www.myfileserver.com/folder/flvplayer.swf" width="320" height="240"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
flashvars="file=http://www.myfileserver.com/folder/video.flv&autostart=true" />
here is my question. I am confused to where my server is. I don't have my site content on an online server so does that mean, my computer is acting as my server?
On the embed src= "spot" do I just point to the place where I saved the .swf file on my computer? Same question goes for "file spot"at the bottom, the last line of code?
When I try and follow the directions and point to the files on my computer the video does not play. Hover over the 2nd video explanation to see my problem on my site to see the problem

When you started in Dreamweaver, you should have created a testing server. This testing server has the root folder defined on your computer:
You would put the flash movie into your media folder (or whatever folder you would designate for media such as this).
In Dreamweaver, on your insert panel, you should see a "insert media" button. Click the down arrow beside the button and choose the media you wish ot insert:
Choose FLV and it will give you the option to put in the URL (local testing server folder), a control button skin, and the size.

Trying to add video clips

Hello, Im trying to add video clips, however when I publish the project the video does not show up. I tried avi, swf, flv. The avi's do not go in at all because it says it cannot convert it.

Hi there
Normally Captivate only understands the FLV format. You probably need to find a converter to convert the clips to FLV.

Can't Add Videos to Library

Greetings:
I've followed the instructions and I can no longer get video into my iTunes Library.
I reformatted them into mp4, tried navigating to them from Add to Library in the File menu, tried dragging and dropping, but nothing happens. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and iPod software. I even trashed iTunes and reinstalled it, but nothing happens.
I had put on a couple of videos when I first got my 5th gen., so I moved them onto my Mac and tried to add them to the iTunes Library and that didn't work either, so I didn't think it's a format problem. I do get the error message that the new videos were't moved because they won't play on my iPod, even though they're in the same format as the ones that do play (MPEG-4). The old files that do play are MPEG-4s but have the suffix m4v. I tried changing the new file suffixes but it didn't help.
Audio files go in fine.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. I have several episodes of a series in .avi format. I used Prism to convert them to .mp4 format (I've done this hundreds of times). For some reason iTunes only lets some of the videos into the library. The others just dont show up. iTunes doesnt say i CAN'T add them (i.e. when i try to drag and drop i get a little plus sign and not the restricted symbol), but none the less it won't actually add them. All the files were converted one after the other using the same conversion software, all in the same session.

Hi i'm trying to add videos that I have downloaded to my pc onto my ipod

Hi I am new to this and i'm not having much luck I'm trying to add a tv show that I downloaded to my pc onto my ipod. can anyone tell me how i can do this....Thanks for any help you can give me ..

Hello Lynda,
Have you imported/added these videos to your iTunes library? If so, do they appear from under the Movies section? How do you have your iPod set up to sync videos from under the Movies tab for your iPod?

Trying to add new swatch library, I get " Cant open, select AI 8 or above or EPS"

I am trying to add the "Roland Color Systems Library.ai" into ID CS6. I added the same file with no problem to AI CS3 but when I try adding it to ID, I get:
"Cannot open file, please select an Adobe Illustrator 8 or above document or EPS file, or an Adobe Indesign Document"
I also tried converting it to an EPS in AI then importing it again into ID but I get the same error, also tried saving into several legacy versions. I see in the swatch library folder in ID, it seems to have a lot of ACB files that are the default swatchbook files. Is there maybe a way to convert this to an ACB file and just drop it into that folder, or any other suggestions?

That sounded like a good idea but Im not finding a way to export swatch books from AI.
Im not sure what you mean about not operating ID that way though. It has the ability to import swatch libraries but its not accepting the file im pointing to

Add Video without Library Replacement??

I don't think this is possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I have a large music and video collection on a G5 desktop that I use as my main iTunes collection. I sync my 5G iPod with that desktop. I also have a PowerBook G4 that I use for travel, that I keep a much smaller collection of tunes on just for syncing with a mini when I travel.
Here's my question. I'm on the road and would like to download last night's episode of "Lost" to watch on my 5g. Is there anyway to add the episode to the iPod without having to replace my entire library that is already on the iPod from my desktop?
Thanks

You can dissolve to a clip that's not on the primary storyline. You can also connect the clip and then overwrite it into the primary.
the add Video only feature is broken
How are you doing this? Insert will not wipe out what's in the timeline. Are you doing an overwrite from the browser? Don't. It overwrites, video and audio. The video and audio are a single track on the primary unless you detached the audio.

Trying to add video file but does nothing

I am trying to add an mpeg that 85MB but iTunes acts as if I had done nothing.
Can anyone help?

Itunes ignores any files it does not support. This is very frustrating for the user, because we are used to seeing error messages or popups. In the long run, ignoring attempts to add a file saves time. There is nothing to do, no workaround, no trick. If iTunes ignores the attempt to add the file, then it absolutely does not support that particular file.
