Video - Play In iTunes Then Won't Sync

I've just noticed that if I play a video in iTunes it will then no longer sync with the iPod. iTunes says its not a compatible format.
I've just tested playing a video on the iPod (OK) then playing on Mac iTunes (OK) then resyncing. The video no longer syncs and removes itself from the iPod.
Looked in the threads but nothing there.
Any clues ??
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed something similar I think.
I have two movies that I KNOW I've watched on my ipod - that are no longer there. When trying to sync, itunes says they're not compatible. What gives? I did update to 1.1 - could this be the problem. I can't say if I have watched the videos in itunes or not (as this post states the problem initiating) - but they just won't sync.
Help!

Video plays in iTunes, but won't show on ipod

I'm a first time poster since I'm usually able to figure out what to do by looking in the archives first. However I haven't seen this yet. I successfully converted some home video and imported them into iTunes. Here's the kicker...only one of the movies loaded to my ipod. I have the options on my ipod set to automatically update so I'm not sure why only one would load.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your movies play in iTunes but not on iPod... right-click the video file in your iTunes Library and click "Convert Selection for iPod" this will convert your movie to the proper format that iPod can handle.
Hope I helped.

AAC m4a podcast - Plays in iTunes, but won't sync to iPod, HELP!

Really confused with what's happening here. The podcast isn't on the iTunes store, so I know it's not guaranteed to work with iPod, but I've never had any problems with m4a or AAC files before, and I know it's supposed to work on iPods, so why wouldn't mine?

As a footnote to your answer I'd like to add the following:
I experiened this exact problem AND I had made sure that the artwok appeared in every entry. The only differrence was that I was saving the artwork to disk, selecting ALL the entries for a specific album, selecting get info (multiple) and then double clicking the artwork field and browsing my hard drive to locate the artwork.
After doing this, the artowrk did appear in ITunes but would not download to the iPod.
My solution was to still pick all the album's songs but rather than search the hard drive for the artwork, I would find it on the web and copy the image (simple copy). After this I would simply paste it in the multi artwork field.
This has worked ever since and will surely cure the above artwork problem.

Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library. Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

HT1349 can music video play on itunes

Can music video play in itunes?

The only time I had that problem was with a music file that was saved as a .WMA format. I don't suppose that is your problem since you purchased it from the iTunes store. How about dumping it (remove it from your iTunes and from your iTunes library folder - put it someplace else on your computer to save it just in case.) and trying to download it again - you are allowed to do that up to five times.

ITunes library won't sync with iPhone 5s

My problem is on an iPhone 5S 16GB running iOS 8.0.2...
Recently I had to remove my music from my iPhone in order to create space to apply the iOS 8 update. When I went to add the music back to my phone, there are songs in iTunes that won't sync. All of the songs I am trying to add back were on the phone before the iOS 8 update was installed. Up to this point I have not had any problems adding or deleting music from the phone / library.
FYI, I am only using genuine Apple cords to connect to my computer, so generic cables are not an issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Same issue here, but on an iPhone 4.
Tried multiple combinations of unchecking playlist, reboot mac, reboot phone ... nothing worked.
Re-initialized the phone and bam .. music is synching.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Why won't my videos play in iTunes when I already downloaded them?

I downloaded an episode to watch along with a few songs....they downloaded on my iPad and now they are showing up in my purchased but its only playing 30 seconds of the episode and the songs won't play at all. Can anyone help?

iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store. Videos and tv shows that you've synced and/or downloaded to the iPad go into the Videos app :
Songs that you've synced or downloaded go into the iPod or Music app (depending on which version of iOS you have) :

ITunes 8 won't sync some video files to iPhone 3G (2.1)

Hello,
Upgraded to iTunes 8 and iPhone 2.1 the other day. Now I'm having trouble syncing the iPhone... The problem is that iTunes won't sync all my purchased TV-eps. It WILL sync my "The Office" ep, but NOT my "Two and a half men" ep or my "Entourage" ep. What is going on?! Anyone know a solution to this?
Thanx

Select the videos that won't sync and use the iTunes Advanced menu > Create iPod or iPhone Version. iTunes will create a version for your iPhone while leaving the original in place, which you may retain or delete at your option.
Jim-
Okay, next time I promise to at least challenge you a little bit LOL!
Yes, that fixed it instantly. Many thanks!

My video playing from itunes will nto stop lagging?

None of my videos are playing on itunes, they all keep lagging and freezing. This has been since the newest version of itunes.

Unfortunately I still need help.
I got an email from a customer service rep at apple, who suggested I make sure that I had the latest version of itunes & the latest update for my ipod (I do).
Then said I should deauthoriza, then reauthorize my computer - I did.
Now none of my videos will play on the ipod. I can find them - they've been downloaded, they're under the "videos" tab in my ipod touch - just will not play. Some are definitely standard definition. Some definitely played yesterday afternoon.
So, I restet my iPod. Same Problem. So I restored my IPod - so wiped it clean. But once I resynced - I still have videos on my ipod that won't play.
...OK, now I tested some other things on the iPod. I downloaded a few comics - can't read them. Downloaded games - can't play them.
What does work - music, my internet connection.
You know, I think I might be within the return policy for this iPod Touch. Someone advise me - am I making a mistake to keep this? Should I just get something else, instead? I really thought this Touch was the coolest thing and was thrilled to have it - but if it's going to be like an expensive car that's always in the shop, is it worth it???

ITunes crashes; won't sync iPod

I have recently switched PowerBooks with my brother. To make the switch I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the contents of the HDD from one PowerBook to another. Everything is working well except that the first time I tried to sync my 5G 80GB iPod iTunes crashed and won't sync.
I have determined it is iTunes and not the iPod that is crashing is because when I force quite iTunes the iPod can then be used.
To troubleshoot this I have tried restoring the iPod; deleting the iTunes .plist; contacted Apple and asked them to de-authorize all of the computers I have authorized to play. I have not heard back from Apple on that one yet. If anyone has any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm not sure what I did, but the problem is gone.

ITunes 7 won't sync some songs to an iPod nano upgraded to 1.3 software

I make the HUGE mistake of upgrading iTunes 7 (won't do THAT again) and upgrading the software on my 4GB nano to 1.3 (won't do THAT again, either). Of course, I hit the good 'ol recovery loop -- thanks, guys -- when I trial-and-error'ed my way out of that. Then it told me it wouldn't sync about 150 songs I PURCHASED FROM THE ITUNES STORE because "you're not authorized to play those songs on this computer." What kind of nonsense is THAT?

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and provide your account information when prompted.
