Video Ipod deletes videos

I have a 5th Gen Ipod. a few weeks ago a bought 3 videos, Brian Regan was bought first, than a few days later nick swordson and the next day the amazing Jonathan. The day after I got the amazing Jonathan it disappeared from my ipod, a day later brian regan disappeared. There still in my itunes but it won't sync back up. Thats not all though. I just bought the entire season 2 of the office, I watched all of them (actually today i also noticed that though i paid for the entire season i only received half of the available episodes) and low and be hold season 2 has now disappeared from my ipod, however seasons 1 and 3 are still there. I am so frustrated with my ipod that I doubt i will EVER by aoth apple product again

Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Change the preference to what suits you best.

My 30 GB video ipod plays video but they have no audio

i have a 30 gb video ipod and the videos i put on it do not play audio i have used the mpeg4 streamclip and it still doesnt work please help me

You can use itunes convert mov and mpg to mpeg-4. One thing though, is that if you convert an mpg (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2) muxed (muxed means that the video and audio are put together on one single track) than you loose the video or sound when converting them to mpeg-4 from itunes. If your videos are muxed you must find another video converter on the web. You can find out if the original video that you are trying to convert for the ipod is muxed by opening the original video in quicktime and then click on the Window menu then click on Show Movie Info this will show you if the file is muxed.

Delete video from iPod touch

So i was experimenting with the iPod touch and I noticed you can delete videos directly from the iPod.
1) Access Videos
2) swipe finger from left to right across the name of a single video (groups wont work)
3) Delete Command Will appear in red
My question is if I press delete does it just delete from the iPod or will it also delete the video from iTunes then next time i sync my iPod touch?

Deletes from iPod Touch, then when resynced, restore's the deleted content.
Yes but this is useful if your iPod is full and you want to buy some music.
You delete a video to make room, download the music.
When you connect to iTunes it syncs the music from the iPod to iTunes and reloads the video, which you can prevent reloading if you want to by changing the sync settings.

Ipod 5g video files delet by them self can anyone help out?

Alright i have a question here i don't know if this is suppost to happen or not that's why I'm asking the experts here. We'll after i load the video i want onto my ipod video i delet it. Because i do not have enuf space on my hard drive so i keep it just on my ipod but now to my great surprise.
When i delet the video from my computer and my ipod goes to update the new videos it decides it doesn't need to keep the old files i put on there. That's ********. So does this mean i have to keep video files on my ipod and harddrive for them to work?

Daniel, although I would recommend a Mac too, you certainly don't need to get a Mac to have iTunes work the way you want it to :
In your iTunes Preferences, under the iPod section, you have to disable Video automatic syncing (or whatever it's called) just like you would with music if you wanted to manually sync it. Then you have to drag videos from the Video library to your iPod's icon in iTunes, manually. This way they should remain on your iPod even after they are deleted.
I would recommend that you get an external USB 2.0 Hard Drive of greater capacity than your iPod, they are getting less and less expensive nowadays, and storing all your stuff on your iPod, without a backup, is fairly unreliable ...

Delete old files on my video ipod

I am a new ipod user and have a video ipod. I have been downloading podcasts to my ipod for a week or so. Even though in my itunes I keep only the newest episodes, my ipod retains all previous episodes. However, when I go to my ipod in the source list, all the podcast items are de-highlighted and I can not select or delete.
Can someone point me to a way to delete old files on my ipod?
Thanks!

Try this:
In iTunes click on "Podcast", you don't need to have your iPod connected.
Highlight the file you want to delete and press the DELETE key on your keyboard. It will ask if you want to delete the file. If you want to just remove it from your iPod and want to keep the original file on your computer select "Keep Files". If you want to remove from both, select "Move to crcycle bin". This is for PC. If you use a Mac the wording might be slightly different but the principle should be the same.
When you're all done deleting, connect your iPod and the podcasts will be automatically removed from your iPod.
Hope it helps.

I have an 8g Ipod Touch and I accidentally recorded some video on it. Now I don't know how to delete it. When I connect to Itunes, there is no 'Video' Folder, so I can't even see/find the videos to delete them!

On the iPod go to the Photo app and then to the Camera Roll. Tap on the the video yu want to delete and then tap on the trash can icon in the lower right.

Deleting photos from video ipod

How do you delete photos from your video ipod, if u have accidentally deleted the created "iPod photos" folder (containing all the pictures) from your computer?
I've tried deleting the iPod photo cache from my comp already.

You could try creating a new folder on your PC desktop called something like "empty Ipod". Leave it empty. Then hook your Ipod up and when Itunes opens, go to the "Photos" tab and check the "synch photos from" box. That will enable you to select the "empty ipod" folder option on the drop down menu. Then click on "apply" in the bottom RH corner. That should do the trick. (You can in future synch with the photos you want by putting them in the "empty ipod" folder on your PC and remove them by changing its contents or emptying it. Worked for me anyway.)

How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

Can't sync game with 60GB Video iPod

This morning I purchased Phase for my iPod. (5thG 60GB Video) And I can not sync this game to my iPod. I get the error {The game "Phase" was not copied to the iPod "mcarrolls iPod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.} I normally don't sync my music, just manually add content to my iPod, But I checked Sync Games in my iPod tab and I get the error. Then I went as far as to snyc my entire library, deleting hours of ipod formatted video I encoded myself from my ipod, but still wasn't able to get the game to sync. I decided to try a restore, since my iPod was practically empty, still no luck. I purchased an album in iTunes and am able to both sync, and manually add that purchased album to my ipod. Now I have an empty iPod and still can't get my purchased game on to my iPod. Any help?

Hey mcarroll, how did you get Phase to sync onto your iPod? The same problem occurred with me actually so i probably have to do the same as you did. So, in other words, how did you actually authorize DRM software to be eligible to be synced onto your iPod? Where did you go in settings/preferences that eventually granted you the ability to sync "Phase" onto your iPod? Thanks for letting me know!

Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

Hi all!
I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
Background:
For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
Now the problems start:
When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
(nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
Any ideas will be most welcome!
Thank you very much in advance.
Peter
P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.

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.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
- 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.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

ITune 7 and video ipod - can someone please explain this?

Is there any chance that iTunes could somehow be forced to allow uploads of movies and TV shows to the iPod with 1.2 update?
My real question is, someone above says 1.2 is only for other ipods, not 5g video. Can someone confirm or deny this?
The current situation here is:
- iTunes 7 wants to update the iPod software, but when I agree to this, it ejects the ipod and the progress gauge keeps showing indefinitely.
- If I stop the iposervice, the update fails (of course!) with the 1417 error.
Multiple times:
+ I have reinstalled iTunes7 twice following all the instructions about deleting temp and iptune directories, etc.
+ I have tried disconnecting and resetting during the original update dialog.
+ I have disabled all services and tried all this again
The two problems remain:
iPod not recognized by iTunes 7 (but works perfectly with iTunes 6 so it isn't a hardware or Windows problem).
Forcing recognition by stopping and starting the ipodservice works, but the upgrade to 1.2 fails.
I could live with all the above by going back to v6, but
V6 refuses to upload purchased video content to the iPod without the updated software.
iPod 5g video Windows XP Pro normally a reasonable person

instead of stopping the ipodservice, try eboncairn's
does that get you past the 1417?
I did that. Notice that you don't address my question. I found a way to get things working and I'll post it in a second under a new title because I'm guessing a lot of desperate people will want to try it. First here's the answer I was looking for:
When IT "suggests" yopu upgrade the 5g to 1.2, the initial gauge comes up for about 40 seconds. Then a dialog comes up and after you deal with that about 1 minute 30 secs will go by.
Then, the Apple logo will appear on the pod and a guage will show the update loading for about 1 minute.
Finally there's a reboot of about 20 seconds at which time I came in my^H^H I saw the iPod in the iRuines 7 window.
I will post all the $**** I had to do to get this working under the title, "IT7 1.2 5g update - worked for me"
Two days of dicking around to watch a movie I'd already paid for.
