Video podcast will not upload onto iPod. Dimension changed!problem!

I usually subscribe to a specific vid podcast but lately i have noticed that my ipod will not sync the new vid podcasts. it's very frustrating! i have had a closer look and realised that the vids that don't sync into my iPod have a larger dimension 852x480 compared to the old 480x270. This is an MPEG-4 file. What is the problem? What should i do? Can i adjust the dimension? if yes how? I'm not sure if this is the problem but if there are any suggestions i'd appreciate them.

When the Sync finishes, do you see a message saying something like "video xxxx has not been transferred to your iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod"? If so, you could try highlighting the video in question and clicking on *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version* (it will be different wording if you are using iTunes 7 or earlier!).
However, unless iTunes 8 has "improved" this feature, it takes along time to convert and it does not always work. I gave up with the conversions.
The "problem" is probably caused by the Podcast producer changing the format of their Podcasts, possibly for a good reason. Check first in iTunes or even on the Podcast producer's web site, do they have a different Podcast (of the same programme) especially for the iPod and you are downloading the wrong one?
(Out of interest, what is the vid Podcast you are referring to, did you subscribe to it in iTunes?)
After that, you could try contacting the Podcast's producers to let them know what has happened. Bear in mind though, that Podcasts are produced independently of Apple/iTunes and are intended for all makes of MP3, not just iPods. So they may not care that only iPod users cannot watch it.
Good luck.

I have song in itunes that will not load onto ipod ?

I have a song in itunes that will not download onto ipod, nothing by song in library indicating there is a problem. Can anyone help me ?

Does the song have a tick-in-the-box next to the song title? (You may have selected to Sync only ticked songs and videos to your iPod. This option is on the Device/Sumary pane that appears when you connect the iPod to iTunes.)
Is the song in a format the iPod can play? (Is it the same format as other songs that do Sync to your iPod?)
Have you looked (on the iPod) under songs as well as artists? (It may show up under songs but not under artists.)
Try the Search facility on the iPod and see if it shows up that way.

Video Podcasts Will Not Sync; Audio Podcasts Do

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the ios 5. Now when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my video podcasts will not sync. I have not changed any of my settings, and I noticed "All podcasts" is selected under Podcasts section. Audio podcasts sync fine. All was fine until I did the recent software upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

They are there. They are now under the "Video" app on the first page of your device. Seems like a pointless change to me. It took me a couple of days to find mine, too.

Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload onto my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please.

Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload on to my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please. I have never had this problem before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

Video podcast will not start

After I downloaded the video-Podcasts and I want to start them, nothing wil happen.
The audio-podcats are functioning okay.

Video podcasts will not go to video podcasts folder

I have a smokin new 80g ipod video. A video podcast i would like to watch will only show up in the regular podcast folder. The video podcast folder remains empty despite some effort. any ideas?

Well it came marked as movie. I changed it to music video. It now works on Ipod under music video file but why wont it go to Videopodcast file. Is it a problem from the podcaster?

Some songs will not go onto ipod

I just got a 5th Gen 30 GB today to replace a stolen one. I still have my entire library but now some songs when i try to upload them onto the ipod, display the message "Attempting to copy the disk to 'ipod' failed. the disk could not be read from or written to." so I keep having to unplug, and then replug my ipod back in to update about every 30 songs. something has to be wrong. Help please!!

Never mind i switched the USB port that my ipod was plugged into and now its working fine. lol.

Playlists will not sync onto iPod nano 7th gen

Since the very beginning of iPods, I subscribe to a number of podcasts that refresh in iTunes automatically. Once a day I transfer the "recently added" podcasts to a created playlist for my daily listening. This allows me to cull out music downloads from the pure podcast list. Since "podcasts" have been separated as an app, iTunes made it difficult to accomplish this. With iTunes 12 and my current iPod 7th generation, I can find no tip that will allow me to continue the practice. I want a continuously playing playlist of the most recently downloaded subscribed podcasts that can easily be refreshed and transferred to my iPod nano 7th gen at the end of each day.

There is no Apply button there, until you change something. Until you make a change to a setting on that screen, the button (where the Apply button is located) says Sync.
It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are describing. The Recently Added playlist is a smart playlist. It comes "pre-installed" with iTunes. However, if you right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist, you will see that the two rules for populating it are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks
Genre - is not - Podcast
Therefore, if that is the playlist you are referring to, it intentionally excludes podcast episodes. If you want a new smart playlist that lists podcast episodes downloaded in the last two week, you can start with the Recently Added playlist. Don't modify that playlist. Right-click on it and select Duplicate. Name it (the duplicate) something like "Recently Added Podcasts" (or whatever you want). Right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist. Change the rules so that they are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks <- You can change the number of weeks as desired.
Media Kind - is - Podcast
NOTE: I suggest using Media Kind instead of Genre, because it more accurately identifies items that are podcasts. Something can be a "podcast" without Genre set to Podcast. But everything iTunes shows as a podcast MUST have Media Kind set to Podcast.
That new smart playlist ONLY shows all podcast episodes downloaded in the last two weeks. You can then sync that playlist, if you want them all, or use it as the source to manually update your "daily podfest" playlist, and then select that playlist on the iPod's Podcasts screen (as described in my previous reply).

MPEG-4 Video Files Will Not Sync To iPod

I have a selection of files in MPEG-4 format that are played by iTunes but are apparently not compatible with my iPod (newest version). As far as I can see, they are identical in spec to the other MPEG-4 files that DO work. This all makes no sense to me.
Converting these files using iTunes converting process will take a month by the look of things. Does anyone have any suggestions that will get these files to work on my iPod?
Thanks

try converting it again

Podcasts will not sync to Classic

I'm at a complete and utter loss.
One day updated podcasts stopped syncing to my iPod Classic. I've done everything I can think of, google searches, asking friends and can't come up with a solution.
Here's what I've tried:
-Checked my anti-virus software
-Rebooted
-Restored
-Uninstalled/Reinstalled iTunes
-Used a different USB port
-Used a different connector
-Tried different settings on iTunes, including selecting manual syncing.
I don't know if this problem is hardware vs. software. Right now here's what's happening. After one of the restores, I deleted all of my podcasts and resubscribed to see if that would help...it didn't. I can download audio and video podcasts onto iTunes, when I connect my iPod it indicates that it's syncing but my iPod states "no podcasts". I'm not sure if perhaps the podcasts are in a different folder under My Music, but last I checked the podcasts were in the Music>Podcast folder.
I don't know if I'm missing some vital step but I'm literally losing my mind trying to figure out what's happened and would love any/all suggestions.
One other thing. I ran the Sync Diagnostic on iTunes and it said that no iPod could be found. This is strange because when I do my restore, all of my old music library syncs, just nothing new.

Ah! That explains a lot, Video Podcasts are a mystery on the Classic!
Do you get any messages when you Sync these Podcasts? Some video Podcasts will not play on the iPod Classic and therefore they don't get transferred to the iPod. However, in that situation, I would expect you to see a message telling you something like "Some Podcasts were not transferred to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod."
You can't miss the message, so if you don't see it, the Podcasts must be on the iPod somewhere. However, I've noticed that video Podcasts can be almost anywhere on the iPod Classic, not sure why.
For instance, I have video Podcasts from different providers which are all in the iTunes U section in the iTunes library - even though they are not "educational." But, on the iPod, some of them are in the iTunes U section, while others are in the Music section. And guess what? The search facility does not find items in iTunes U! I have inspected the videos in iTunes but I'm unable to see why they should be in different sections of the iPod.
So, first of all, where are these videos in the iTunes library; Podcasts or iTunes U? This may give you a starter about where they are on the iPod and look (obviously) in the iTunes U on the iPod.
If you can't find them in iTunes U, try looking in the Video Playlists. Note, Video Playlists is separate from Playlists, so if necessary, place Video Playlists on your Main Menu. Even then, in the Video Playlists, all is not simple. Also on my Main Menu is Videos/Movies and some of my rogue video Podcasts are in there!
Example:
in the iTunes Library;
Library/iTunes U/History 106B
Library/iTunes U/Shulton: Old Spice (adverts)
both in the same section, next to each other.
Start from iPod Classic - Main Menu:
Videos/Movies/Shulton: Old Spice (- only)
Videos/Video Playlists/iTunes U/Shulton: Old Spice (- only)
Video Playlists/iTunes U/Shulton Old Spice (- only)
Playlists/iTunes U/History 106B (-only)
Spot the difference?
So in other words, I cannot find these Podcasts all in one place on the iPod - to put it another way - iTunes U in one section has Old Spice but not History, and iTunes U in another section has the History but not the Old Spice! I could go on, the History appears under some, but not all of the Music Menu subsections while the Old Spice is not on the Music Menu at all!
It's mind numbing! It's one area where Apple doesn't appear to have got it right and unfortunately, I don't think that it will ever be sorted out. Often, this issue can be as a result of how the Podcast producer tags their videos, which may explain why the problem has just started. But how anyone sorts that out is beyond me too because different models of iPod act in different ways.
So have a good look through your iPod for the missing episodes, good luck, let us know how you get on, do you find them?
Phil
P.S. On my Videos/Music Videos menu header, the iPod states "No Videos" but when I look in there, I find two videos! ??

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

I have songs that have been purchased and they show up in my I tunes but the are not showing up bold like all other songs in my library, they will not let me download from the cloud and will not load onto my ipod.

I have a handfull of songs in my library that are not showing up bold like the other songs. When I click the icon to download from the cloud nothing happens and they will not load onto my ipod. When I look for them in the purchased area they show up as purchased and downloaded.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

IPOD 5th generation will not upload new games

I purchased a new game and it will not upload it on my IPOD. It says it needs the 1.2 version which it has.
I installed Itunes 7 and when the ipod is sync it says it's syncing software is version 1.2. I restored my IPOD and it still did not eliminate the problem.
I can not find a way to contact support. It keeps looping me to articles and will not give me an email address or phone number.
Someone please help.
PC Windows XP none

I finally got the answer in the Itunes discussion section.
You must "authorize" your PC to use games / music purchased from the Store.
Click on the "Store icon"
Go in "Store" -> "Authorize PC" It will authorize your IPOD to be able to load games. Otherwise, double-clic the image of the game between the Library column and the game description: a pop-up window will be prompted and you can authorize your pc.

"Video Podcast" Was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod

I recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen. I am trying to put a video podcast, from itunes, onto it but keep getting the message that it cannot be played. From reading other answers I have seen that the definiton can be an issue but as far as I know, video podcasts are all SD.
Is this a problem with my iPod, itunes or my iPod software?

We are encountering the same problems with both our new iPod Nano 7th Gen. Both iTunes and iPod have been updated with the most recent software.
