Ugrading to iTunes 7.2 stopped my Video playlists working on my iPod

Everything was working well, then I upgraded to iTunes 7.2.
Same day I tried to view my SMART Video Playlists as usual, and I get the old "0 of 0" screen, as if there are no videos in the playlist.
I know that these playlists worked fine before the upgrade
I know that the videos in the playlists are all playable on the iPod
I know the playlist works fine in iTunes
The only change was the iTunes upgrade.
I tried to do a complete RESET still same
Complete RESTORE still the same results.
Once again an upgrade had stopped my Video playlists from working.
I'd like to be able to go back to the previous version of the firmware before I did the restore, since I think the latest firmware upgrade has also contributed to the problem

I want to go back to a previous firmware version, surely someone here knows how to do that?

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

How to Change Windows media videos to work on your ipod?

can anyone help me
i need a free program that can convert my windows media movies to work for the ipod or itunes

hey guys the same is happening to me. i bought my ipod 6 days ago, and i´ve tried to transfer videos from digital cameras (sony, canon and nicon) in mpeg format and I cant play them with audio.
What I do is just turn them to Ipod format, then the video is converted and the audio disapears. It´s not a problem of the ipod since I can´t hear the audio also in the software, where i converted them.
Please help me, I just wanna see and hear my videos.
Thank you. Tomas.

My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
Good Luck

ITunes for windows stopped - playing videos

This is driving me nuts
Windows 7 Pro 64Bit system with 16GB of memory on a Core i7
Have not seen problems like this much in the past.
Have uninstalled quicktime and iTunes then reinstalled, to no change - the only one that's been fairly consistent is if I perform the 'repair' on Bonjour app
I downloaded both of the programs from the internet first - so latest and greatest version
I went through changing the settings on QuickTime as some have suggested as well as deleting the \users\appData\itunes folders for both user and roaming
The last thing i see is 'connecting to apple store' - then it crashes with just that message and no detail.
I even tried moving ALL the .DLL files to the one program files folder as mentioned elsewhere.

Hello Appropriator,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines further suggestions for troubleshooting video playback. While you have already completed one of the steps, there are a few more that you can try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Additional Information
Some customers using computers containing NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers may experience unexpected behavior when playing videos in iTunes on Windows from a SATA hard drive. iTunes may unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive or the computer may unexpectedly reboot or show a blue screen. Standard IDE hard disks are unaffected by this issue. If your computer contains a standard IDE hard disk, you can copy your video files to that disk and play those copies of the files in iTunes or QuickTime Player.
Thanks,
Matt M.

If I buy a video on iTunes and can synch the video to my daughter's iPod as well as my own iPod?

...In other words, can I share iTunes videos that I purchased with other people? I want to add iTune videos that I've bought to my iDevice and my daughter's iDevice (she does not have an iTunes account?

Once the movie has completey download, having an Internet connection is no longer necessary. It would be wise to test the movie before you leave, though, in case of glitches.
Regards.

Rented a movie from iTunes, playback has stopped and no longer works.

Today I rented and downloaded a movie from the iTunes store. Got about 5 minutes into it and the playback froze.... I tried to fast forward... Nothing. Tried to rewind. Nothing. So I closed iTunes completely and reopened. Now when I try to play the rental, I just get a black screen. I don't want to waste $4.

I can no longer get my videos to work on my ipod, any advice?

I will get right to the point. I was having numerous crashes and problems the moment I upgraded to itunes 7. So I had no choice but to downgrade back to itunes 6. Well ever since I have done that, my ipod seems to be working better (no crashing, no more warped music) but now none of my videos in my itunes go to my ipod. After numerous updating when I plug my ipod in, the videos refuse to go to my ipod. All of the videos are checked (sync) but nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

How to get videos to work on 5gen Ipod with firmware v1.1

This is a reprint from a previous post by check_six6 so thank him/her.
-Connect your iPod to your computer, ensures its updated via iTunes, then disconnect it from PC and exit iTunes
- Download iPodSetup 2005-11-17 here:
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
- Download iPodWizard here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153441
(download the release, top link of the two)
- Uninstall iPod for Windows 2006-1-10 and reboot
- Install iPodSetup 2005-11-17
-Connect your iPod to PC, make sure iTunes is not running
-Make sure that the check box labeled "allow ipod to automatically start Itunes" is unchecked. Restart
-Launch iPodWizard.
-In the top left, click "Open Updater"
-Locate the iPod Updater.exe located in a sub-folder where you just installed iPodSetup 2005-11-17
-In the "Firmware:" drop down menu, select "5th Generation iPod (v.13.6.0)"
-Click "Load" just to the right of the drop down menu
-In the iPodWizard Essentials box on the right, it should say "Found 1 iPod drives:"
-Click "Downgrade Firmware". I'ts very quick.
-Close the iPodWizard
-Again, make sure iTunes is not running
-From your Start menu, run iPod Updater 2005-11-17 and click "Update", not "Restore"
-Once the update is completed (it takes a few minutes), exit the iPod Updater and run it again to view the new firmware number. It should read:
"Software Version: 1.0 (up to date)"
-Launch iTunes. A pop up window will ask you if you want to download the new software version 1.1. Tick the box "Do not ask me again" and click "CANCEL"
To avoid a majority of problems if you have the newest upgrade to itunes you must uninstall itunes and then uninstall Ipod updater for all updates restart and then reinstall the downgrade updater version and then you should be able to downgrade your firmware to version 1.0. I used 3-4 different programs to convert videos and they all lost sound and hung up in v1.1 downgraded to v1.0 and all work just fine. I don't know what the problem is but this solution seems to work.

I had the exact same problem. I used Videora off the internet. It's free and it converts all video files to a format that itunes and ipod recognizes. Try the following link.

Video not working on new ipod nano (3rd gen)

Just bought a new generation ipod nano. When registering, I got a free movie short and a TV show episode. It did not seem to fully download on to Itunes. I have updated itunes to 7.5.

Does the video play in iTunes
if so right click and select "convert to ipod/iphone format"
if not click "store" in the bar and click "check for purchaces"

I have been having this exact same problem. It went away for a month or two after upgrading my iTunes to the latest version, but reared its head again last week. I've tried all of the solutions listed on the support article listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3044 The only thing that seems to work for me is when I disable the "live updating" tab. What a pain.

What type of videos actually work on 80GB Ipod 5th Gen?

i have tried SO many types, but it seems that none of them work... at all.

See this article for a list of the compatible video formats.
