How can I reset the settings for my Ipod Video on the Ipod source list.

.Avi video files to ipod

do you guys know if there's a way to convert avi files to ipod form. Is there a program that works for free, or does itunes work?

I've broken the code that lets you convert .avi files that works in itunes and updates to my video 30g ipod. Do not try to use quicktime pro 7. Go to www.videora.com and download version 0.91 (it's free, fast and actually works!) you can donate $$$ if you like. I did. Select CONVERT-transcode new video-browse for file. In the Quality Profile dropdown h264/320*240/256kbpsStereo/96kbps click start. From itunes file-add file to library-browse select. I tried to convert selection to ipod but it was already in proper format. Plug in your ipod (I use update video automatically)During ipod video playback choose tvoff or you will only get audio. It took me hours to figure out the puzzle because apple does not support .avi type files. I don't usually post, but I think this info will save everyone alot of valueable time and money.

Unable to run a video on my ipod 30GB

My ipod will not run a video.
Althogh I have run the latest download of i-TUNES and i-POD from the apple site, it looks as if my i-POD is not setup for video. With my i-pod linked into i-tunes, and if I go into EDIT/PREFERENCES/iPOD/VIDEO I am unable to 'highlight' any of the selections (eg "Automatically update all video's etc").
Also, although the 'iPOD Features Guide' (page 33)states that opening iTUNES and selecting iPOD in the source list, you can then update videos, I do not have 'iPOD' in the source list - So am unable to click 'options button' or 'Videos'.
Can anyone help?

Geordie,
If your iPod doesn't show up in Windows Explorer either, have a look at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711

How do I repeat loop a video file from iPod Touch to Apple TV ?

I have an iPod Touch that is a few years old but running the latest software update. I want to loop a video to then play through Apple TV onto 2 panels at the front of our shop. I have saved the file as a video and Music Video (using Get Info etc) but neither version in the iPod touch will supply the repeat function - it works fine from my MacBook Pro but I cannot leave this in the shop overnight. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - evern if a third party app that actually works. Thanks in advance, Shaun.

Continuous Video Playback from iPod Touch to Apple tv

hello,
I am hoping someone can help me with this issue. I have searched for hours and am unable to locate a response that has worked for me.
I have an iPod Touch (without camera) which plays ALL videos on a playlist consecutivley without returning to the menu.
When I select airplay and have it play through Apple TV then it stops after each episode and requires me to get my iPod Touch (which is plugged into an outlet) and manually select the next episode.
I double checked all of my settings by connecting the iPod Touch to my computer and viewing them. It actually works fine when played on the iPod Touch alone. It's kind of a small viewing area though so I purchased an Apple TV2 (little black box) to use for this when airplay was announced.
I went into the Audio/Video settings on Apple tv Menu and selected Repeat Music: On and Show all Playlists: On
I just updated all software on all devices.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

When I want to watch a video on my iPod it automatically plays it on my TV. Why? And how do I fix it?

Whenever I want to play a video on my iPod, on any app, the video automatically connects to my TV.
How can I stop this and play the videos on my iPod?

After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod. It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod. It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

Try:
- Reset the dock
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

Can I watch videos from my iPod touch 4th gen on my tv

I have purchased a composite video AV cable to TV RCA cable to watch my videos from my iPod touch through my tv. The lead apparently works with all ipod touch and iPhone 4, and all software updated, but I can not change my video settings to play through the tv as I don't have the option to change to tv out.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks

Ok, I have music videos on my iPod, purchased from iTunes and I want to view them on my tv. I bought the cable as I was told this would work. If you can't view a video bought from iTunes on a tv, what can you view?
All connections are correct, the iPod states that the video is being played through a tv, but nothing shows up on my screen. And yes, I do know which channel to switch to. I just don't have the option on my iPod or iPhone to switch to tv out, whether the cable is plugged in or not. Every where I look for info it says I need to change my options to video out on my iPod settings, but it's not an option available. All I get on my tv is a plain screen as if nothing is connected.

Can't get videos to 60GB iPod Video

So a few days ago, I updated to iTunes 7.0 and Firmware 1.2. All my videos are in an MPEG-4 format, and now I can't get them to my iPod. They all used to play, but I restored it and now they won't even go on to the iPod. I've also got got it set to manage music and videos manually. I tried to use iTunes to convert it to see if that would help, but when it converts, the new file doesn't appear. And I've been looking back on other topics and it has mentioned the converter called Videora, so I checked that out, but it says it only supports Windows. So how do I get my videos to my iPod?
Thanks in advance.

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

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod I give up I'm bringing it back

I have the Black 30GB, after a week of trying iSquint , Handbrake ,Movies for my iPod and now MPEG Streamclip I still can't get videos in my iPod . I give up, it's scratched to bits and I handle it with extreme care . This was the worst $300.00 I've ever spent .

I had trouble with that too, but figured it out. Here are some things to check:
1.) Preferences in iTunes with the iPod connected. I put mine on automatic update of all podcasts, just to make sure nothing is missed.
2.) On the iPod, go to Settings > Main Menu > Videos > On
3.) On the iPod, got to Videos > Video Settings > TV Out OFF, Widescreen OFF, TV Signal (in US is NTSC, in Europe is PAL).
After I configured #3, all worked. I'm not sure the widescreen setting makes a difference, but I do know the TV settings do.
I think you won't have any problems if you go down this checklist. Too bad they don't mention it in Apple support.

Why can't I add videos to my iPod touch 4th gen?

I have updated my 4th gen iPod touch to the most recent iOS, 6.1.2. I want to put videos in it. I have already converted my videos to the appropriate format and put them in iTunes. But when I drag the icon of the video to the iPod touch icon, it won't work. On the other hand, when I do the same to the iPod classic, it works like a charm. How come I can't add videos to my 4th gen iPod touch? HELP!

I would try placing the movies in the iTunes movie library and then using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the advanced tab of iTunes. It is likely that the format is not compatible with the iPod. There are many variations in the mp4 format and all are not compatible the iPod.

Can't add video to my ipod

i can't add my videos to my ipod from itunes.
itunes reads my videos but when i try and add them to my ipod it say's this ipod can't read these files.
i have got the new ipod update and itunes and it still doesnt work.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET ROUND THIS PROBLEM?

Are you having this problem only with videos from the iTunes store, or are they rips of DVDs, etc? If they're rips, the iPod will only play video in certain formats ripped at or below specific bitrates. Check the forums for detailed info about the requirements.

Ipod updater not finding proper ipod

Hey guys I have been trying to update my iPod video (5thGen) with the 2006-06-28 updater but everytime i plug in the ipod it shows it as being a 2nd generation ipod. The update and restore buttons are not available for me to click. The update buttons says that the ipod is up to date. and the restore button says that it has to be pluged into a firewire port. This is clearly incorrect because 5thGen ipods are NOT firewire compatible. furthermore when i lauch iTunes it tells me that the ipod software is out of date and it does not allow me to upload purchased music or any videos.
does anyone have a clue whats up???

Thank you for the responce; however, I have already tryied that and it is still no-go. I have been able to restore the iPod using a G5 Tower at a friends house, but I am still having problems linking the iPod to my computer. iTunes still gives me the error message that the iPod software is not up to date, and it does not allow me to transfer purchased music or videos to the iPod. I have also tryed to use older iPod software and it still does not detect the correct iPod.
I guess what im trying to say is that its not a problem witht the iPod but rather my computer.
