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.

Videos/movies will not sync

So I have about 6 or 7 videos in my Itunes, I know one for usre is :Itunes" compatible as I downloaded it in that format, however they will not sync to my 120gb Ipod. I've re-set my ipod, I've removed the vids and put them back in. but they will not work. Any ideas?

Hello BigSky132,
So some of these videos were purchased from the iTunes store and others were imported into your library from elsewhere correct?
For the imported videos, have you tried using the iTunes built in converter to convert the videos to the most iPod friendly format? To do this locate the videos in iTunes, highlight them, and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version" from the Advanced drop down menu. Once the videos have finished converting, try resyncing the newly converted version to your iPod to see if that helps.
For the downloaded video, are you sure you aren't trying to sync the HD version instead of the SD one? Is it an actual movie, tv show, or some other type of video?
How do you have your iPod set up to sync videos? Do you have the option ticked to have your iPod set up to sync all checked songs and videos from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, make sure these videos have tick marks next to them in iTunes.

Try using some backup software like Aniosoft Smart Backup to backup your files first!

ITunes will not sync audio to iPad under Snow Leopard

When I try to sync audio (music and podcasts) from my MacBook Pro to my new iPad, nothing gets transferred. They are listed under the iPad heading at the left of iTunes, but have a gray chasing-arrows icon to the left of the names. (I tried to include an image, but it doesn't work.)
My contacts and calendar do get copied to the iPad.
If I boot from a different partition running Lion, with the same home folder, iTunes does sync audio files. But I'd like to get it running under Snow Leopard.

See if this article will help:

New videos, one will not play audio others will.

I purchased five new videos and they all play back fine except one. The one in question has no audio. I checked all the speakers and stuff and did not see a problem. I closed the window and opened the next video and it works fine. All my music plays fine too. Please help...

I sent an email to iTunes and they issued me a credit. They said evey thing was fine with my computer, it was the video that was not working. I will download it again when the credit comes through.

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

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. HELP!!!

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. I could download the first half of the episodes. Help! I really like them. It says "it can't be played on this device." Many other podcasts are doing the same thing. Is my ipod too old?

I have a second generation nano. I have several podcasts in my library that will not sync to the nano. These podcasts all have a half cirlce icon to the left of the name in my itunes library. Whats up?

I have a second generation Nano. I have several podcasts in my itunes library that will not sync to the device. These podcasts all have a half circle icon that appears to the left of the title. Whats up?

Well I could do that but that kinda defeats the purpose of paying $600 bucks for this piece of **** that I'm supposed to be able to dump 32 gigs (well u know what I mean) of music on and manage automatically the through this supposedly wonderful piece of software that's supposed to do most of that for you. Okay I get that computers are only as smart as the people using them... Which apparently is not that smart in this case... But ya thanks for the advice that my two year old daughter could have given me. Anyone else?

ITunes 11.01 on Windows 8 audio will not sync with video

I have a new computer that is running Windows 8, and I have had no issues with iTunes 11.01 thus far on it other than the fact that when playing videos, the audio will not sync up with the video.
With the ineptitude that seems to define Apple as of late, there does not seem to be any actual support for Windows 8, and the "support" channels do no good at all.
Any ideas as how to fix this problem?

I think Microsoft made the Windows 8 incompatible with Apple products on purpose, they want windows users to have to download apps from their paid service which is more expensive than Apple's App/iTunes Store

ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch

I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

My podcasts will not sync (icloud) between PC and iphone 4s and ipad 2

My podcasts will not sync (icloud) between PC and iphone 4s and ipad 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you are using ios 6.1 or later not 6.0.1 (or older). Your iTunes Notes setting for iPad and iPhone in iCloud. Also Notes setting in both devices are in iCloud.
My New iPad using 6.1 and iPhone 4S using 6.1.2. No problem sync Notes on both devices.
I hope this can help.

My iphone will not sync certain podcasts

For some reason after the last Itunes update I have a few podcasts that will not sync, They are professsional podcasts that I have been subscribed to for years, and currently subscribe to other podcasts by the same producers that work fine.
The podcasts download to my macbook just fine, but when I sync they don't appear on the phone, when I view the podcast list on the phone from my macbook, they appear to be there but are greyed out and have a dotted circle like they are being loaded. They stay like that and there doens't seem to be anything I can do to get them to actually copy to my phone. Ive tried rebooting both devices and reloading the podcasts nothing works. Other podcasts continue to load and play fine.
The offending podcasts are the adam and drew show, episode 42, Wiretap: it's all been done. Under the influence:Nothing In Common: How Hollywood Portrays Ad People.
I'm not sure if anyone out there can help me, but if you have any insight I would appreciate it.

It is there. You need to substitute whatever your user name is where it says {YourUserName}. So if the user name that you log in with is "doofus" you would open Windows Explorer and enter "c:\" in the address bar,
You then find the folder Users and double-click on it. Next find Doofus and double-click on it. Then AppData and double click. Then Roaming and double click. Then Apple Computer and double click on it. Then MobileSync and double click on it. Finally Backup and double click on it.
Alternatively, you could just enter
C:\Users\{Doofus\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
in the address bar.
You may have to set the option to Show Hidden Files first in Folder Options.

Videos will not sync to iPhone from iTunes

Movies (Videos) will not sync to an iPhone 4S from iTunes Mac. They can be downloaded and played from iCloud. They sync to other iOS devices, just not this one.
Music does sync as do other media. When I try Movies (Video) I spend long minutes watching "Waiting for changes to be applied". I suspect it's timing out.
I don't see anything in Console. It doesn't matter whether Movie is DRMd or home.
I've restared phone and desktop. I wiped the phone and restored from Backup. I suspect if I wiped phone and treated at as NEW phone it would work, but I'd lose game settings, some data, etc. I haven't tried 'manual' management of music and video, I really dislike that. I did try dragging a movie to the iPhone manually, that behaved like sync.
I've used PhoneView, an OS X utility for browing phone to look for stuck or unexpect media. There are no Voice Memos and no Voicemail messages.
In iTunes, if I expand the Devices tree for the phone, and inspect Movies, I see the movies that have downloaded via iCloud. Movies that are supposed to sync from iTunes show with a grayed out font and dotted viewing status circle.
Any ideas? Any references to a technical description of the iTunes sync process?

A colleague on App.net (@gaelicwizard) came up with the fix for being unable to sync video to the iPhone. It suggests the bug is on the iPhone, and since a wipe/restore didn't fix it the bug is transmitted with the backup.
The fix was to setup iTunes on another account on the same machine, then sync the iPhone to THAT account. This wipes out all media and photos. When I did that I could sync a video to the iPhone.
I then synced the iPhone BACK to the original iTunes account -- this wiped all media again. This time though I could sync video from the original iTunes. I restored all of the media and was good to go again.
I still wonder if this bug is related to the fix for the 7.0 CloudAssets bug that was fixed in 7.1. There was also something odd about the movie 'Frozen' where the Cloud version and local iTunes version seemed somehow different...

I just bought an audio book from iStore, it is in my iTunes under "audiobooks" but will not sync with my iPod Classic, any ideas?

I have downloaded several audiobooks from audible and they have synced fine with my iPod but this book from the Apple Store will not sync from my iTunes to my iPod.
I am also having an issue with iTunes U; I have subscribed to the two classes I am taking this term and downloaded the videos to iTunes but when I sync my iPod classic I keep getting this error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." I'm not sure what is going on because I have used this feature on my iPod classic before and it worked fine.

Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?
