Video wont transfer to iPod Classic

Why is this? It transfered before, then I wiped it and now it wont transfer, saying those videos aren't compatible with this version of iPod.

Hi Peabot,
If you are having issues transfering videos to your iPod Classic, especially videos that have transferred successfully previously, you may want to take a look at the following article:

Why don't some video podcasts transfer to iPod classic 6thG?

This phenomenon occurs for example in the Podcast called "Beautiful Places in HD" and some NASA Podcasts. A message says that the podcast can't be played on your iPod. (6G already too old?)
I found an unsatisfactory solution to that problem by using the convert funtion. The only problem with that is that a 5 min podcast takes 20 minutes to convert with iTunes. Then everything works fine except that the file is not a podcast anymore. If I use a non Apple tool which does the job faster my iPod becomes unstable and crashes once I upload the converted file.
Can anybody please offer some advice?

To add to what Meg has already said:

Just curious: So there are no iPods for these kind of Podcasts or are they meant to be just for iTunes?
Podcasts are not produced by Apple or the iTunes Store, the store simply lists Podcasts created by anyone who wishes to make Podcasts, you can make one if you wish. They are not necessarily produced with the iPod in mind, or even any MP3 player, even though they may be listed in the iTunes Store.
As you have found, conversion is not the answer. It's simply "the way things are" and I have the same issue myself with "Beautful Places in HD". Watch them on your PC and enjoy there.

MSN videos wont go onto iPod

How do I put a video onto my iPod if I got it from a friend on MSN messenger

Videora may not convert wmv files.
Try this...

Then take that converted file and drag it into iTunes. Right click the video and go to convert selection for iPod.
That second converted video should transfer to iPod.

How transfer photos, videos and music from iPod classic to Mac?

I have an iPod classic and trying to transfer my photos, videos and music to the iMac without losing them. The iPod was running on windows software. Any suggstions?

use yamipod or music rescue to try to get music.

Itunes will not play any songs/videos; also, videos wont tranfer to iPod.

This problem started a couple of days ago; It started after I downloaded 6.0.2... There were a bunch of problems to my computer because of that, although they might not have been related. In any case, I ended up using system restore 3 times and uninstalling/reinstalling itunes quite a bit.
Now my computer's back to normal, except one thing: iTunes. Its acting... funky. Weird. It wont play any songs/videos on iTunes itself, which is annoying but I don't mind it as I just use my iPod... EXCEPT that it wont transfer ANY videos to my iPod. NONE. Even the old videos on it were erased as iTunes said that "They can't be viewed". I KNOW these videos work on my iPod as I converted them to specifications and plus, I've seen most of them before on it (Also, I have a few music store bought videos and they wont transfer either). It seems to be a deep rooted technical problem inside iTunes, but I can't seem to fix it.
I've repaired/reinstalled/completely uninstalled, wiped reg. values with a cleaner, and it STILL doesn't work...
I need help. This problem is weird, and I'd like it fixed. I want to see videos again...

Videos wont download to ipod

HI I have downloaded some TV shows from Itunes and when I go to sync them to my iPod I get an error message saying the item can't be downloaded because the item can't be played in this iPod. I am not sure what is wrong. I have an Ipod Nano 4gb i think it is 2nd gen or maybe even 3rd. Please help

Read this article related to your issue. You may be trying to sync the High Definition (HD) version of the TV Show to your device. The iPod classic does not support HD content. You'll want to download the SD version instead.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

MPG4 video wont transfer to itunes

Hey everybody:
My problem:
I had a CD of 3 video files(the original format was 3GPP2 of 2 of them, and MPG4 of one of them -- Call them files 1, 2, and 3). The third file I was able to drag and drop into itunes, and I got it on my video ipod (all though Ipod had to convert it, interestingly, though it was allready mpg4... shrug thats not the issue though).
The other 2 files, I can't get into itunes for the life of me. Ive tried a number of things:
I converted them first with videora, then tried to drag and drop into itunes. No error, they just didnt show up. When I dragged them, the little plus and everything showed up.
Again with the converted files, I tried the "add file" and the "import" functions in itunes. Again, no error, the files just didnt show up.
I tried dragging the original file into itunes, thinking Id just convert them using the converter in itunes. AGAIN, no error, they just didnt show up in my video list.
I've added LOTS of video's to my ipod, downloaded, off CD's and I've never had this problem before. It's driving me up a wall! What am I missing??
PS. Im not running the latest version of Itunes. (I think its 6 that Im running) 7 is downloading as I speak, to see if that makes a difference.

Ok, so I looked at the properities of the files that videora converted for me, and although videora gave me no errors, the files it spitted out are pretty much useless. 0 bytes of data, and they wont play.
Ive never tried converting from 3GPP2 before, and am unfamiliar with the format. Videora doesnt recognize it as a media format, but it didnt give me any errors, so I assumed it worked. That answered the question of why it wouldnt transfer anyway.
From what I've found online, and seen in the properities of the file, I gather 3GPP2 is some type of compressed MPG4, or something... BTW, quick time plays the files in 3GPP2 format (and says they are some type of MPG4), but I can't drag and drop them into itunes. I get a circle with a line through it.
Long story short, anyone know how I can get those files into a format itunes can deal with, because aparently videora doesnt do it right!

Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

I am having EXACTLY the same problem as you are. I to had updated my software and used the same program as you did and the video doesn't transfer. I tried downloading that sample movie that Apple supplied to test and see if it would transfer but iTunes doesn't even add it to my library, and Quicktime won't even recognize that sample file as compatible format even though iTunes and Quicktime are the latest version. This is so frustrating.

Computer/itunes wont recognize 30gig ipod classic

I have a 30 gig video ipod classic. It has always worked fine for me ever since i puchased it about 3 years ago. However, i recently received a Jensen ipod dock to play/charge my ipod. I have been using this to charge my ipod for a while. I have now tried to plug my ipod into my computer and it wont show up in my itunes. I can only charge it with this dock not, not my computer, or even my car adapter. I has recently noticed a sticker on the back of this radio that reads "For proper syncing, connect the USB cable between your computer and this unit prior to docking your ipod. I just tried this and still no luck with itunes recognizing either (the dock or my ipod) Has this happened to any one else? Anyway to fix it or am i just screwed?

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

Video wont sync onto ipod

Hey, im seeking help...
For some reason, my videos that are in my itunes library for some reason will not sync over to my ipod. I have a 160gn ipod classic, anyone have any idea why this isnt happening?
Cheers

Hey there,
Are you sure you have your iPod set to sync movies to it? To be sure, plug your iPod in, and when it appears in iTunes, head over to the Movies tab and make sure you have it set to Sync. What you sync is up to you, but make sure that still has a check mark next to Sync.
If that doesn't help, your movie or video may not be in an iPod-compatible format. To make it that way, navigate to the movies section of your iTunes library and find the video and right->click and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version" and wait for it to convert. The time it takes to convert depends on the length of the video. When it is done, try resyncing it to your iPod and see if that helps. You may have to do this for each video in your Library that is not syncing. Hope this helps.
Here is a bit more on syncing videos to your iPod.

Can I change video sizes for my ipod classic?

I want to play all my videos for my ipod classic, but some are the wrong dimensions and I want to know if That's fixable.

There are no free games for an iPod Classic other than those built into when you bought it.
For games that you can purchase go to the iTunes Store, then click App Store, then iPod Click Wheel Games.
