Unplayable Greyed-Out Video On iPod Touch, Only Visible In iTunes

I've had a greyed-out "error" video on my iPod Touch 4G for a long time. It isn't visible on the iPod itself, but it shows up in iTunes. It has the same "Album", "Show" and "Year" tags as another album of videos I have (Album and Show "Baman Piderman", year 2012). Judging from it's reported length, it is an error version of a video from that album (specifically, "Weirdy Feeling"), although I have a version of said video on my iPod, and it works just fine. I've gone so far as to copy the Media Library database from my iPod to my computer and edit it manually, but I can't find the error entry anywhere. Interestingly, the reported size of this error file is "Stream". I can give a star rating to the file, but other than that, I can't edit any of it's tags.
I should mention that, by choosing "Manually manage music and videos" for my iPod, I can manually delete the file from iTunes. But every time I sync, it reappears, and I prefer to not manage the music and videos manually.
Here's an image of the error file with it's "Get Info" window open to the first tab:

After I updated to iOS 6.1, the problem disappeared. Not sure what it was, what was causing it or how to fix it. But, hey, it's gone now.

  • Cannot delete greyed out podcasts on Ipod Touch

    I cannot delete greyed out podcasts on my ipod Touch since uprading to iOS 5.1. They don't appear when connected to itunes. Scarcely the end of the world but a little annoying! I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

    This appears to be a bug. The only way I have been able to resolve this myself is to unsync and resync all of my podcasts via iTunes.

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

    My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

    First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Is Apple going to come out with an iPod touch that has built in Wi-fi ?

    Apple should realy come out with an iPod Touch that has built in Wi-Fi. They iPod Touch could be just like a phone! I think everyone would upgrade to it.

    Yeah , but you can only connect to Wi-Fi if you have a router , which in my case , I dont have one . I already have a phone , but it would be nice for it to have built in Wi-Fi so I could use the Internet or Facetime with people ANYWHERE , even if the place I was at DID NOT have a router / Wi-Fi connection . They iPad has built in Wi-Fi , so why not have the iPod Touch have built in Wi-Fi ?(:

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
