Video doesn't synch, missing podcasts, ipod songs skip...

Forget about the the sound quality - I can't even get videos and some music to play. Have reset three times (as instructed by Apple website) but clearly the problem is iTunes v7. Hopefully damage can be fixed with an update - anyone heard of when to expect it????

If you say you have updated all the iPod and iTunes software, and your USB ports and cables all check out all right; Then I am guessing on a very big hunch that it may have something to do with your OS?
Your OS states that you are in 10.3.x, I got a feeling the latest iPods may only work with 10.4? See if you can plug in a mac with 10.4 and try it out...
Cheers

Videos doesn't have sound on iPod Nano

Ok, well whenever I convert my videos in iTunes using Advanced > Created iPod or iPhone version. The video converts, I play the video, and it doesn't work. It's like a mixure of colors, let's just say a black screen. And the sound doesn't work. But when I upload it into my iPod, the video works, sound doesn't. How do I fix that?

Question wasn't answered, nobody answered it....

The option of video doesn´t appear in my ipod menu and can´t install videos

I have an ipod 60gb but in menu doesn´t appear videos option. I installed itunes 6 and quicktime 7.
itunes have videos and play videos but in the ipod not.

Are you sure you have a video iPod? Apple have released a 60GB iPod before that was only a colour. If you are sure, go to setting, main menu (2nd down) and find video. Press it and return to the main menu.

IPod Song skips to end, freezes for a time, then plays next song

Name pretty much explains everything
certain songs on my iPod (so far, all by 1 band), will play the beginning, then when the song is about 20% done, it will skip to the last 2 seconds of the song and just stop for a while (i think it stops at 2 seconds for the same length that it skipped), then it will play the next song and it repeats
ive tried restoring my iPod, but it didnt work
any ideas?

So what changed on your computer or iPod since it played correctly?
Can you right click on one of the songs in iTunes, select Get Info, and copy the results and paste them here?

Ipod Songs skipping to different parts...

Some of the songs on my ipod skip ahead to different parts of the same song and then skip to a different part before continuing on normally. It doesnt occur just at one time on all the songs but can occur at any time. Is there any particular reason for this? This has been going on for a while now... is there anyway to fix this?

i'm having the same problem of skipping songs. Minehappens on the gen5 60 gig player only when I want to use a playlist. Mine just seem sto not like my song selection and just skipps a multitude of songs until it find one it likes and starts there. In one list it just goes to the ninth song plays it through and then goes to 12, 14 etc. Should anyone come up with a cause or solution it would be great. I have reset the player three times and that goes not do the trick, even for a minute.

Video doesn't play on ipod...similar threads have not worked

hi,
i've seen some threads that are discussing the same issue but not the same exact problem. the video doesn't show on my ipod, although the sound works. on itunes, both work fine. i've already set tv out to off so it should be working as the support help has suggested. i know that images work fine since i can see photos on my ipod. it's just the video that isn't working.

Still more. I did go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/892474 and removed the flash player data as suggested and that didn't help
Also, when I go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9
and later http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
It shows no version information nor is there any picture activity. Not even a blank gray box
On the first link above (Disable_ActiveX_Filtering) it lists several suggestions. Here they are and what I have or have found
Ensure that the latest version of Flash Player is installed <<<YES - 11.9.900.117
Disable ActiveX Filtering (if you are using Internet Explorer 9) (It is unchecked in IE 10)
Enable Flash Player Add-ons (if you are using Internet Explorer) <ENABLED)
Disable the RealPlayer functionality, Downloading & Recording, if you are using Flash Player 11.3 on Mozilla Firefox. No RealPlayer on computer
Ensure that you have the latest version of Flash Player (if you are using Chrome) Chrome works
Delete all Flash Player browsing data <<<DONE
Remove Flash Player cache <<<DONE
Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration <<<Did so on YouTube but can't get to this on bad sites
Increase the storage limit for a specific website <<<<Can't get to this option on bad sites

Ipod songs missing in artist folder

I have a 30gb Video Ipod with the newest software.
After updating my ipod, some songs are there in the genre and album menus, but are missing in the artist menu. The songs do have an artist and when i play the song, the artist does show up in the middle line.
Thankyou

I had the same problem! This is how I fixed it, though it was not ideal for me:
This was the scenario: Under a particular artist, Bebo Norman, I had one whole CD ("Try") with all of the track info filled out, and several other songs (live tracks, acoustic tracks, etc.) with nothing listed for their Album Name. They all showed up on iTunes, but on my iPod, when I went to Music>Aritists>Bebo Norman, it only allowed me to select the songs from Try, and none of the other tracks. This also occurred for a few other artists that were in the same situation.
This is how I fixed it: For Bebo Norman, it was easy - I imported another whole CD, complete will all of the track info. After I did this and synched with my iPod, all of the songs (both CDs as well as the extra "album-less" tracks showed up under Music>Artists>Bebo Norman.
However, for some of the other artists, this was not possible, as I only owned one CD by them. So, I selected all of the album-less tracks, and for their Album Name, I typed a space. Now, on iTunes, as well as on the iPod, all of the tracks show up, and the album-less tracks still do not "appear" to have an album name listed along with them.
I know this is not the ideal answer to your question, but it's how i went about handling it. I hope it helps!

How to limit songs being synch'ed to iPod

Hi,
I must be the dumbest guy around. This really should not be that hard.
My total Music Library is 28GB. In the house we have one iTunes Library. My wife, my two girls, and I all share this library. I like Rock, Country, and some of the new stuff that my girls like. My wife, she is into Streisand and also some of the new stuff. My girls are typical teenagers. One likes Country, top 40 and Rap. The other is into Rock.
I created 4 different Smart Playlists. One for each of us. They are sorted by "Last Played". The Smart Playlist use lots of rules to fine tune the selection of music. Each of these smart playlists is over 8GB.
My girls have 8GB iPod Touch's. My wife and I have 2 iPods each. Two 4GB iPods and two 8GB iPods (Older Mini's and Nanos).For simplicity, let's just talk about me and my 8GB iPod. I want to synch to my iPod only that music that is in the my Smart Playlist. And I want it to update each time I connect the iPod. And I want it to sych music that has not been played recently.
When I connect my iPod, I get a message that there is not enough room on the iPod. That is not surprising, as the playlist is bigger than the capacity of my iPod. So, I created a size limited Smart playlist based on my original Smart playlist, but now when I synch, I get an error that the size limited playlist is dependent on a playlist that can not be found.
A nice to have.... What would be cool is if I could set up the iPod touches to synch, Apps first, then photos, and then fill whatever remaining space was left from a specific Smart playlist.
So, any instructions or guides on how to set up our playlists and iPods?

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab. You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to the Summary tab over to the right. Look for the Music tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device. If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove). Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

I have moved my itunes library to a new PC. All but approximately 100-150 songs will synch to my ipod. It says "not authorized" but when I authorize it, it says "already authorized"? I thought possibly they were DRM files, but I can't tell?

Any ideas how to get all my songs synched on the ipod? They are in my itunes library on the new PC.

Hi kellmack,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend the steps in this article if iTunes prompts you to authorize your PC to play some purchases after you've already authorized it:

Updated my ipod to ios5,and now it doesn't play most of my songs.

I updated my iPod touch 4g to iOS5,and it turned to be much slower than before and the most wired thing is that now it doesn't play most of my songs!
Play lists are useless now since if I click one of them and choose some songs,my ipod stops at the screen of what's "now playing" and stay silent,sometimes it jumped to another song!Probably not the problem linked to my apps 'course I made sure others apps tured off.And I still have half of the space free in this Touch.Same problems also jumped out the next time I turn it on.
btw,iOS5 ***** when it's on ipod touch.Making it like an old machine and,whithout WiFi, most of the new functions and new apps are just white elephants.
Can anyone tell me is this just what happening on my iPod touch or there are many people waiting for Apple to fix these bugs just like I am?
Or maybe someone who can help me solve this problem.
I'm waiting my music back into my ears!thanks a lot!

Thanks for starting this topic. Upgraded my third gen Touch to IOS 5.0, and now the iPod Music App refuses to play some songs, skips over others, and stops in the middle of a playlist, whether it's shuffled or not. There doesn't appear to be any commonality in the songs that fall victim.

HT203167 I synced my ipod touch and for whatever reason I have now opened an itunes library with some songs missing. Theses songs still remain on my touch but the ipos will not sync them back on to my library!Any ideas?

I synced my ipod touch and the library opened up with some songs missing. These songs remain on my ipod, I thought that by syncing they would return to my itunes library. But they won't. Has anyone seen this before?

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from your own CDs then are they not already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod.

Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

Will my iPod use unused video and photo memory space for more songs?

if i don't put any video or photos on my 60gb iPod, will I be able to store more than the stated 15,000 songs on there? gracias
5th Gen iPod 60gb Mac OS X (10.4)

I guess it isn't 100% clear, but I would think that when Apple says the iPod holds up to 15,000 songs, 25,000 photos and up to 150 hours of video, that each of those would be how much the iPod could hold if you were only using it for each particular thing (i.e. 15,000 songs IS a full iPod if all you have are songs on it, and 25,000 photos would also be a full iPod if only photos were on it). But that's just how I read the iPod description.
