Unable to sync video podcast to ipod classic

I have subscribed to a video podcast "Walk in the Word". The very first one sync'd to my ipod. Ever since, they download to my itunes library just fine, but they will not sync to my ipod classic 160gb. I have talked to tech support and have deleted the podcasts and redownloaded. Refreshed the podcasts, deauthorized and reauthorized and have up to date software. Still won't sync. I have gone into the podcast inquiry to "report a concern", perhaps there is an encoding issue with
the podcast producer. Does anybody have any suggestions that may help? Thank you

I think I may have found the problem. Apparently, ITunes cannot sync HD podcasts. Apple...why???

Video Podcast on iPod Classic vs iPhone 4

Some video podcasts will not load onto my iPod classic but WILL on my iPhone 4. I'm using iTunes 10 on a macbook. i read on this forum about converting video podcasts to iPod format, and that it doesn't always work. I'm just trying to find out why there is a difference between the iPod and the iPhone.
THANKS

MORE INFO:
I have also noticed that of the 4 video podcasts I have tried to download on my iPod classic, the only one that was successful had a bit rate, total bit rate, and size in MB that was approx double of what the other three had. I also have, since my last post, tried to convert the podcasts to an " iPod version" from the ADVANCED drop down menu in the iTunes toolbar, but it made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated!

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.

Problems with TED video podcast in ipod classic 80gb

I have a lot of TED video podcast on my itunes on PC but i can't listen and view it on my ipod, i've red somewhere that video podcast with 46kbps are no longer supported by ipod classic? is that right?
there are any solutions?
please help me, i'm really interested in it

Yes, I'm still stuck too.
Some of my TED videos showed up in iTunes under "movies" when I migrated to a new computer; likely iTunes found the native files. These movies play fine but re-subscribing to the TED video podcast and trying to play them under "podcasts" on my iPod Classic (120 gb), they still won't play (screen goes black for about 1 sec, then it skips to the next podcast...repeat until entire list is done).
I saw someone post about a "convert to iPod", but I can't find that option in iTunes (windows 8, iTunes 11)
Thoughts?

IPod Classic will not download/sync Video Podcasts

I have an 80G iPod Classic. It has worked great for the last two years. All of a sudden, it will not download or sync video podcasts that I have downloaded directly from iTunes. I have done everything I can think of to fix this problem to include restoring the factory settings. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!
I just downloaded the iTunes program.
Very confused, pleaseee help ...

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.
What can I do to correct this error, please?

I have i tunes with music and movies but iam unable to sync them to i pod classic

i have i tunes with music and movies but i am unable to sync to my i pod classic 80 gb

What exactly did you try? You have to restore the iPad from the phone backup and download the apps again if you are using iCloud. If you are using iTunes, the process is basically the same but you have to sync the apps back to the iPad.

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

Help me to sync videos to my ipod

HI, I have just bought a ipod classic, downloading and syncing music off itunes is fine but after downloading a movie off itunes and attempting to sync it it says
SOME OF THE VIDEOS IN YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY, INCLUDING " STEP BROTHERS" WERE NOT COPIED TO THE IPOD "USERS IPOD" BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE PLAYED ON THIS IPOD.
please help me ?

Read this article related to your issue. You may be trying to sync the High Definition (HD) version of the TV Show to your device. The iPod classic does not support HD content. You'll want to download the SD version instead.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

PLEASE help: video on new iPod Classic 160gb

Hi all,
I would be really grateful if someone could help me. I was lucky enough to receive a shiny black 160gb iPod Classic for Xmas to replace my old 3rd Gen one.
However I'm having a bit of trouble with videos. I have downloaded some video podcasts via iTunes store that have synced to my pod and play fine. However I have just downloaded some TV shows from the internet - they play in iTunes and are listed in my iPod under"My Devices" but I just can't find them on the pod.
Any ideas????

Hiya and thanks for your respose!!
I downloaded them from a torrent site but they did say they were specifically formatted for iPod use - the file format is MPEG4.
However, I've also tried downloading a video podcast from directly from iTunes (again in MPEG4 format) that hasn't synced to my pod either.
It seems the only video I've managed to sync is a podcast I downloaded about a year ago and two music videos I had from importing CD's.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Restoring lost video files from iPod Classic

I was recently trying to move my Video Files (last three seasons of Cops all downloaded from Itunes) to a different location on my computer. To put a long story short they somehow disappeared and I’m not sure how. I have searched my hard drive and I didn’t even have them in my recycle bin.
Fortunatly I still have them on my iPod Classic (160 GB) and I’m trying to figure out how to recover them from it, but I’m not sure if I have it set up to sync video files automatically or if it even works that way and I’m afraid to plug it into my computer or it might sync and delete the files.
The first thing I tried was to plug it into a different computer (already authorized) so it would upload the files downloaded then I could use an external drive to transfer the files back to my regular computer. I was able to get the most recent season uploaded, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn’t upoload some of the protected files unless my computer was authorized (even though it was). I re-authorised my computer and it still didn’t work.
I read that you can press Ctrl-Shift and hold it down while you plug your iPod in that it will prevent auto-syncing. I tried this but as soon as my iPod said “synchronizing” I unplugged it.
Does anyone know how I could pull these files from my iPod to get them back on my computer?

To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".

Problem syncing itunes 12 with ipod classic on a PC

Hi I just purchased a new Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 and installed the latest itunes 12 on it, but it won't sync with my ipod classic. The itunes detects my ipod classic, but won't sync the music files and just ejects the ipod instead. I have tried installing an older version of itunes onto my computer (version 11) but version 11 won't work on this laptop. Please help!

Unfortunately I cannot get the movies to play through Quicktime at all on the PC - the movie seems to play (timer runs and the little triagle moves), but all I get is a blank screen... The first time I tried to play one of the files, QT told me I may need to download additional codecs (although it did not indicate which one) - and directed me to the third-party codec download site. However, after downloading several of the different codecs, the .mov files still won't play through QT on the PC.
Rule of Thumb: never download codec components arbitrarily. Since the files load into the QT Player, what you should have done was open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" entry to see which codec was used to compressed the video and then download the "correct" QT codec component and only the needed one.
Is it not possible to get these files to play on a PC since they were imported and made on an iMac with iMovie?
I would tend to suspect that you may be using an HDD or DVD camcorder here. Basically, the MOV file container is generic and can hold any valid combination of audio and video compression formats. DV would have imported as DV content. AVCHD or HDV would have imported as AIC/AIFF content which is normally supported intrinsically by QT. On the other hand, the content from MPEG2/AC3 based camcorders employs a special iMovie '08 import/conversion module which converts the AC3 to AIFF and the MPEG-2 "P-frames" and "B-frames" to "I-frames" which effectively turns the video into an M-JPEG track but leaves it labeled as MPEG-2 content which would likely confuse the QT Player. Further, if iLife '08 itself installs the playback component for this compression combination, you may not be able to locate/install a Windows version of this playback codec at all and may end up having to convert your DVD stored MOV files on an iLife '08 equipped Mac.
