Video podcasts not copying to 5G ipod

I have a 5G 60 video ipod and prior to updating to itunes 7 all was well. I downloaded video podcasts from the itunes store- macbreak video and podsurf
tv. Both podcasts are not on my ipod. I have an imac intel desktop. here's one
message: some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "macBreak 14: automator photoblog," were not copied to "dave's ipod" because
they cannot be played on this ipod. Why aren't these video podcasts copied to my ipod? My ipod software is up to date and I am not using a pc.
I can still buy music and tv shows and copy them to my ipod.
Reading the discussions has me thinking something be wrong with the itunes
update.

I had the same problem with a Happy Tree Friends episode, Eyes Cold Lemonade. I just converted it to M4V with PQ DVD to iPod converter, but it does't show as a podcast, just video. One option...
Maybe if there is a way to delete it and re-download it, it might work that way... I'll have to try that.

  • The "converted by iTunes" Video Podcasts not appearing on the iPod

    Greetings,
    I have downloaded some (old) video podcasts from the Music Store. As they were old files; I realised that they were not suitable for the iPod 5G, while trying to sync to the iPod. Then I converted them by using iTunes itself via 'convert selection for iPod' function.
    Then, as it's a known case, an error message appeared on iTunes that not all the files were transferred to iPod, blah blah. (Because the unsuitable files will also remain on the iTunes, as well as the converted ones.)
    So to get rid of that error message, I have chosen to delete those old and unsuitable files which I would not need anymore.
    When I update my iPod, everything seems to be ok, no more warnings on the screen, etc - but the problem is that those converted 'suitable' files do not appear neither on the Video Podcasts folder, nor in another video folder on the iPod. But they are on the iTunes, within the right folder (videos -> podcasts), together with a newly published Video Podcast of the same series - which is the only one appearing on the iPod.
    Is the only chance to view them changing their folders from 'podcasts' to e.g. 'movies' folder? Or is it just another bug of iPod G5 which really starts to disappoint me these days?
    Does anybody experience a situation like this?
    Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Reconverting the files normaly changes the original podcast meta-data. Download and use a meta-data modifier utility (like Lostify) to reinsert the proper tags.

  • Video podcasts not showing up on iPod

    Since the recent update of my iPod, my video podcasts are not syncing to my iPod.  When I sync with iTunes, I have all the podcasts (both audio and video) selected to sync but only the audio podcasts are available to me via my iPod.  What's going on here?

    OK, so there they are in a new place. Would have been courteous for Apple to give some clue that they were moving things around. Especially because the video podcasts still show up in iTunes in the same place as the audio podcasts, same as before. Thanks for tip, lllaass.

  • Video was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this ipod.

    I have a mp4 file that won't sync to my iPod 4th Gen.
    The file is H.264, 720p, the bitrate is 1415 kpbs. Could the problem be that is has a stereo and a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio channel? It was an mkv but I used ffmpeg to change the container.
    Any help apperciated!
    Thanks.

  • Diggnation podcast not copying over to ipod touch

    says it is the wrong format? can anyone confirm?

    Worked for me. I listened to it yesterday at work.

  • "Video was not copied  because it cannot be played on this Ipod"...help!!

    I recently tried syncing a video to my Ipod touch 2nd gen and it displays the message "video was not copied because it cannot be played on this Ipod" in Itunes. I have looked everywhere for an answer and nobody seems to have the same problem. I've tried restoring my Ipod and stuff, nothing seems to work. Can someone help?

    Since upgrading to ios4 I have been having problems with my itouch. Now some pod casts will not download. Some, like BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy, I have been downloading and playing for months without any problem. I now get the message "cannot be played on this ipod". I have not tried downloading through itunes but this doesn't really help me as I like to download podcasts at coffeshops etc as I want to listen to them. I feel that there are serious problems with ios4 that Apple is not addressing. Has anyone come up with a fix as I see others having similar trouble? I have already tried resting the itouch but all I accomplished was losing a lot of data from some of my apps.

  • Error - some of the videos in your library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on the ipod.  why? Videos in question were purchased from itunes

    Got error - Some of the videos in you library were not copied to the ipod becasue they cannot be played on this ipod.  The videos were purchased from Itunes, so not sure how to fix this?

  • Video Podcasts No Longer Transfer to iPod - Work OK in iTunes

    I am subscribed to a couple of different video podcasts - recently when I sync, I get the message that they are not copied to the iPod because the iPod can't play them. Same iPod, same podcasts as before.. The podcasts do play correctly in iTunes, they just won't sync....
    Any ideas?
    I have done a restore on the iPod, and that made no difference.

    The videos play in iTunes without trouble... Shouldn't that indicate that they should play on the iPod?
    Also, I know that the podcast format has not changed - I am actually the one that produces the podcast. I subscribe to be sure they are posting correctly.
    A sample is:
    http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/news.xml
    http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/weather.xml
    http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/sports.xml
    Yes, it's sad that I produce/post the podcast and don't know any more about it than this, but at this point, I'm trying to determine if something is wrong with the way they are being done (which has not changed at all) or something goofy is going on with iTunes and/or my iPod.

  • (Item) was not copied to the iPod (Name)'s iPod Touch because it cannot be played on this iPod

    Last week I purchased Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 5 off of the iTunes store. I have purchased all previous seasons over the years and they have been able to play on my iPod. But when I purchased this new season, whenever I try to add the episodes to my device, an error comes up saying: "(Episode) was not copied to the iPod "(Name)'s iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod. This has never happened to me before, and I am very confused, and a bit frustrated. Does anyone know what this means and if there is a fix to it?

    Greetings Smallen8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that while trying to sync a video from iTunes to your iPod touch, you receive an alert that the video cannot be played on your iPod. This can happen when you attempt to sync a HD video to your device. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
    When you try to sync a purchased HD video that isn't optimized for your device, you may see a message like this one:
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • file was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod

    Hi,
       I'm a complete newb with the first generation iPod Touch. It's my wife's and I don't use it but I wanted to experiement with giving her access to some movies. As an experiment I've encoded 1 chapter of a movie on my Linux box using Handbrake using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset. The file is about 7MB. It plays fine on the Linux box. I've copied it over to my Windows machine, have my wife's iPod Touch hooked up and it's visible in iTunes. I select the video directory for the iPod in iTunes and then try dragging the video file into iTunes. At this point I'm presented the message:
    <file> was not copied to the iPod <iPod name> because it cannot be played on this iPod.
       In searching the forums it seems that one potential solution is to choose Advanced->Create iPod or iPhone version which unfortunately is grayed out an unselectable. I suspect that this is because I don't have the video file inside of iTunes, but I'm not sure about that.
       When I choose Library->Movies I just get a few options about renting and downloading that take me to the iTunes store.
       How do I get this video into iTunes so that I can try to get it onto the iPod?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    As a follow-up I talked to my son who has an iPod and he tells me that, assuming I understood him correctly, when I open iTunes and choose Library->Movies I should see something like a file browser, and that when I drag the video from my desktop into iTunes I should see it there in the browser.
    I currently am not seeing anything that looks like a file browser, but something more like an adversitisement for capabilities of iTunes and the iTunes store. I've got a green shopping bag that has some text to the right saying 'Download movies' and to the right of that some green tickets to the right with text that says 'Rent movies'.
    I understand that I want to use the iTunes converter in the advanced menu, but I haven't figured out how to use that on a random file like the m4v file on my desktop.
    Thanks
