TV Shows and .mov won't sinc to ipod touch

Some TV shows I bought (from itunes store) for ipod video won't sinc with ipod touch 32g. Also, some .mov files (I made) won't transfer to touch. I've tried every logical thing I can think of to make this work but to no avail. Does Apple have a fix for this?
Thanks

I'm not trying to sound bad, but did you make sure you have the option checked in iTunes to sync movies/videos? I had this same "problem" and freaked out for a good hour before I noticed the default in itunes is set to NOT sync anything but music. Double check that you have the box checked to sync videos and that the files are in itunes.

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help.  Ended up logging out of my apple ID account.  Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly.  I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense.  I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in.  Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some.  Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
    It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

  • HT1338 my tv shows and movies won't play on my MacBook Pro display due to HDCP

    As of today, I cannot play my movies or televison shows on my MacBook Pro. They have always played before and my software is up to date. The dialogue box shows "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."

    Hi, bgrieb.  
    Thank you for visitng Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like these shows are in a HD format and are not supported on the iPhone 3gs.  I would recommend downloading the SD version of these shows and then sync these to your device.

All went well until this error message popped up; "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "headstrong", were not copied to the iPod "Sam's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." ok so I go and authorize it type in my PW and Apple ID correctly and get this error message!; "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please Try Again later."
    I run diagnostics and this is what I got and pass all the tests except for the CD in the drive, could anyone please help? It won't allow me to sync any apps to my iTouch and half of my purchased music.

    This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
    may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
    This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
    Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
    Hope that helps.

  • Movies won't play on ipod touch.

    I tried to download 'Pirates of the caribbean: The curse of the black pearl' on itunes and my dad shut down the computer prior to it's completion. Somehow I managed to retrive the video and finished the download.
    However, when I placed the movie onto my ipod touch and tried to play it a window popped up saying 'This movie could not be played'. I asked around, and discovered that the video was in a protected mode and that I needed to change the 'Kind' for it to play. I downloaded TuneBite in the hope that they would fix my problem, but they only converted 60 seconds of the movie before it was demanded that I pay at least $50.
    It feels like everything that could have gone wrong did and I am at the very end of what I assure you is a short fuse. How can i make the movie work? I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ANYTHING!

    You downloaded the movie from the iTunes store? Then you already paid for it and can download it again. You can report the download problem in iTunes and they should allow the redownload.
    If you downloaded it from elsewhere (and it is -- excuse the pun -- pirated), then we cannot tell you of the many software programs to convert it for iPod touch.

  • Movie won't download to iPod Touch

    I have a movie in my iTunes account but when I connect my iPod Touch it doesn't appear as an option to sync.  I also have an App which said it could work with the iPod Touch but it also is unavailable for sync.
    Both of these were available to sync and downloaded perfectly to my iPhone.
    Can I get them onto my iPod Touch?

    For the video see:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    For the app is it likely because:
    - The app is not compatible with model iPod and its iOS.
    - You have a Restriction on that prevents installing/syncing the app. Settings>general>Restrictions.

  • New iMac, now contacts and cals won't sync to iPod Touch

    After migrating from a G4/Tiger to an iMac/Snow Leopard on Friday, I have experienced many keychain and permissions-related problems. I have been able to solve all except one. It involves iTunes not syncing Info (contacts, cals, etc). I have tried everything under the sun and still cannot make it work. I have compiled a detailed account of the problem with screen shots here:
    http://bit.ly/7YmE4S
    If anyone has ideas, please post. I have not been able to arrange a support call with apple yet because it keeps getting rejected and I am told to try again later.

    I set up a new standard user to see if iSync problem was solved and it was. Remember, I could not open iSync AT ALL in my current user account. I erased my iPod and synced it with the new user and it worked. At that point, I got fully committed to transferring my files over to the new user instead of piddling with more solutions that might or might not work for this and a variety of other issues that came up during migration. (Nothing against your suggestion which I am sure is a very good one...I am just tired of jumping through hoops with no results at this point and thought a fresh start was in order.)
    Anyway, all seems well now. The new user account seems to have cleared everything up except for the printing, but that is due to apple dropping appletalk support, so I will have to tackle that in a different way. Transferring my files to a new user was not as laborious as I thought because most apps have export/import. I am still looking for a way to change permission to large batches of files/folders that are nested. "Apply to enclosed items" does not do the trick.
    Thanks again for the assistance.

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • How to hide/show and move screenelements at runtime

    Hi Guys
        Currently, i have a requirment that, in the same screen, when user choose different different option in the dropdown list, there should be different screenelements and table control with different columns showing below it.
    Now, i have two plans below:
    1), hide/show and move position of screen elements and table control at runtime
    2), call different subscreen
    I hope i can take the first way since the second way will modify structure of program ( As it is infotype screen ), any one knows how to implement the first solution?

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to call different subscreens and load them dynamically based on your parameters.Since different subscreen are called your coding and functionality could also be seperated by writing in the PAI and PBO of the correspondiong Screens.
    if you have decided to go by your first method then try the below code.
    a) if it is normal UI elements like text box etc
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
        IF <var> = ' value '.
            screen-invisible = '0'.
            MODIFY SCREEN.
      endif
    ENDLOOP.
    Here <var> refers to the screen field name and value refers to its value.
    b) To hide columns in a Table control.
    DATA cols LIKE LINE OF tc-cols.
      LOOP AT tc-cols INTO cols.
        IF cols-screen-group1 = 'G1'.
          cols-invisible = 'X'. "HIDE THIS COLUMN
          MODIFY tc-cols
          FROM cols
          TRANSPORTING invisible.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR cols.
      ENDLOOP.
    PS: here TC refers to the name of the table control.
    Lemme know if you face any problems.
    Cheers,
    RK

  • How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

    I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

    The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
    Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

  • ICloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5

    iCloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5.. I get a black loading screen then it reverts back to the movie or tv show page after about to seconds any ideas? Server glitch on apples end?

    FCC rules prohibit Verizon from locking down the SIM slot on new devices as part of the agreement for the wireless spectrum auction that they won. There have been numerous reports of issues with some functions from people using the Verizon iPhone 5 on other carriers.  Basic phone functionality should work, however, the Verizon and AT&T networks use incompatible LTE frequencies.
    The Verizon iPhone 5 has never been advertised or otherwise officially represented as "Unlocked". Apple does not use the term "Factory Unlocked" at all.

    Or this is something that will happen in a future release?

  • Where can I get tv show and movie content to download to my Pre?

    Since I can't buy and sync tv shows and movies from iTunes to my Pre due to the DRM protection, where can I get similar content on the web that I can buy, download and copy to my Pre in USB mode, and that will then play on my Pre?  I've looked around, searched on google, but nothing comes up.  I can buy and download TV episodes on Amazon video on demand but the Pre isn't one of their supported video players.  There must be sites that I can use??  This is the one thing that I want to get working on my Pre as I've solved most of my other issues, and am very happy with my Pre, with this one exception.  Please help!
    Thanks. 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Thanks.  I did check out Sprint TV but it's pretty limited compared to iTunes TV and movies.  I did find a video format converter for the Pre called Videora Palm Pre converter but I haven't tried it on anything yet because I'm still looking for download sites.  I'm going to try it on an Amazon download.  I found a subscription site but I'd rather find a site where I can buy programs one at a time.
    There must be some sites out there - I've tried torrent sites but usually you can only download entire series of multiple Gb not individual episodes.
    Any further advice on this would be appreciated.
