Unable to synch itune movie to my ipod classic

Hello -
I recently bought an ipod classic, but it will not sync my purchased movie. I've noticed the movie has an exclamation mark beside it. When I checked my itunes file; the movie downloaded to a "Downloads Folder", is there something wrong?

Yes, it should be in your iTunes folder. The ! next to the song indicates that iTunes has lost track of where that movie file is located.
Move it to your iTunes folder and you should have no trouble syncing it.

  • Problem moving purchased iTunes movie to my iPod Classic

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a film via iTunes and cannot drag it on to my ipod classic.  I manually control my iPod, so there is no automatic syncing involved.
    The computer I am using is authorised, and the movie plays just fine in iTunes or QuickTime.  I have no problem importing music.
    I'm mystified as to why this will not copy across - any ideas are most welcome.
    Thanks1=!

    It is a second generation iPod, with the clickwheel and the 4 buttons. I have updated the iPod software and iTunes in the last week.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I move my iTunes library from my iPod Classic to my new laptop without losing my music in the synch process?

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

    Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content?  Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

  • Why can't i put a movie on my iPod Classic?

    All of a sudden, I can't put a movie on my iPod Classic!  We've been transferring .mp4 and .mv4 movies to it and then playing them on our home TV setup for years . . . and now I keep getting the message "This movie was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod!"
    What?
    We've reformatted/restored the iPod with the latest software version a couple of times now, but to no avail.  Same message every time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think I've found the problem here and its solution:
    I use Handbrake 0.9.5 (mostly) to re-encode avi movies (and the like) for transfer to my Classic.  When I launch that application, the default translation preset is "Regular/Normal."  And therein lies the problem, for "Regular" most certainly does not work on the iPod Classic!  It does for my MacBook Pro, to be sure, but NOT for my old iPod.
    However, the moment I select "Apple/iPod" as the preferred encoding preset, a check mark immediately appears in the small "iPod 5G Support" box . . . which is NOT checked when "Regular/Normal" is the default.  Eureka!
    Now I have no problems moving movies to my Classic.  Nobody's at fault here . . . I just had to look a little closer at the available options.

  • Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

    I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies.  I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies.  Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic?  I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc.  Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

    So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud.  Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

  • How do I get Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic?

    Hi All...
    I'm attempting to do something I've never done before which is transfer Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic (160GB).  I tried for a couple of hours last night but I could find out how to download the Podcasts and then tranfer them to the iPod.  The Podcasts I'm downloading come in at about 112 podcasts - They're are many but they are each rather small.  I can't figure out how to make this work.  I'd like to just download and transfer selected podcasts as for some reason when I try to find the podcasts I need others show up in the list too.
    Thanks in advance!

    This might work.

  • ITunes (and other programs) unable to recognize the contents of my iPod classic. Help/advice?

    Recently the hard drive of my macbook failed, causing me to lose all of the contents on it - including my music. It wasn't of too major concern for me considering I have my iPod and have ripped music from it to iTunes before. Alas when I attempted to do so today neither iTunes nor any other iPod transfer program (senuti, phone to mac, irip) can recognize it. The music is still on there and I can still listen to it, I just am unable to access it on my computer apparently. Is there any manual way to move the files? iTunes continues to suggest I restore my iPod, but I really don't want to lose the almost 3000 songs I have collected over the last 5 years. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated!

    Nevermind! I rebooted my iPod and my computer recognized it! Whew!

  • I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

    As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
    This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

  • Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

    I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
    Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
    However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
    Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

    First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
    Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
    After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
    Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Watch a movie on my iPod classic?

    I have a movie on a DVD, and want to load it onto my iPod (classic) so that I can watch it on my iPod. Can I import this movie into iTunes and then synch it to my iPod, or load it in some/any other manner onto my iPod??? THANKS!

    Just in case you're talking about a DVD of home movies or other video disks that have no licensing restrictions on them I'd like to point you to some software possibilities.
    You could use DVD Fab which is a fully functional product and does full reading/conversion for you. If you go and buy it ensure you get the "mobile" option.
    A free software product that is very good too is Handbrake. It will read the disk and convert it to any number of formats.
    Both products have profiles you can use to have the media properly formatted for the screen size you'll be viewing them on.
