Videos don't show up on iPod video playlist

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but I subscribe to a coupld of video podcasts. They update fine off iTunes and they synch over to my iPod. The problem is, they don't show up in any of the video playlists. They show up under the 'recently added' list of both music and video files.
How can I get these things to list in the Video Podcast playlist?? Thanks for your help and thoughts!

Julia,
Do you have a Fifth Generation iPod, or not?
Only Fifth Generation iPods are compatible with any videos, which include video podcasts that you try to download onto it.
So, if you have a Nano, for example, it isn't won't be capable of playing any video files, sorry.

Music videos don't show up on iPod

Evere since I've updated to iTunes7 my music videos that I purchased on iTunes don't show up on my iPod. I can see them in iTunes under default Music Videos playlist but somehow they are not in the Movies folder in the Library.
They also don't appear in the Music Videos folder on my iPod.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

My Ipod just stopped workign today? Went to lsiten to something and it was wiped out - no music on it. So I have restored it and synced back up and uploaded all my music back. All my music playlists now appear as I have tehm in itunes but when I click on a play list nothing is there? I keep getting a nessage on my computer saying i need to domthing to get my ipod to work with windows> I keep pressing yes and then an "auto play" with a flashlight appear and runs for a while and then still nothing? I have updated all windows updates, and have the lates version of itunes?
I am stuck not knowing why it is restoring, uploading (taking for ever) all my songs, showing playlists, but no songs after you go into a playlist?
Anny ideas?

Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Videos don't show up on iPod

Please help me!
I tried every single german iPod-Forum but nobody could possibly help me.
My iPod worked out great until I updated the ipod itself and
iTunes. I can see all my videos and podcasts in my i Tunes
library. But they're not on my ipod!
I don't know what else to do, it drives me crazy. Right now
the ipod is not worth all the money I paid for it.
I hope you might have some idea what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Julia

Manually Transfer Podcasts - Don't Show Up in iPod "Podcast" Area

Here's the scenario. My wife and I each have iPod Shuffles for use at the gym, etc... We each have our own computer and different iTunes libraries. For our anniversary, I bought her (us) an 80gb w/video. The thought was that we'd share both of our music libraries here along with videos/podcasts for us to use when we traveled (separately or together).
I've found that the best/easiest way for us to manage the iPod's library is to set it up for manual management. This was after doing a lot of searching forums on managing between two computers... unless that's changed, then no worries there.
My wife took a trip a couple of months ago and downloaded some individual podcasts (not subscribing) into her computer, from iTunes, and transferred them into the 80gb iPod for watching on the plane. They're in the Podcast section as expected. I'm taking a trip in a week and downloaded some additional podcasts from iTunes, and also did not subscribe to them. I did a drag and drop into the 80gb, but I couldn't find them looking through iTunes and through the iPod itself - except through the recently added files folder.
The only place I can find them is in the "Recently Added" folder, but that won't last long. So now that I've "found" the podcasts, how do I get them libraried (is that a real word?) into my Podcast section of my iPod? They do reside in the Podcast section of the iTunes program. I have version 7.2.0.35 of iTunes if that matters.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

Movies are on Itunes but don't show on my Ipod

Hello
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... I have a few mp4 movies and they are showing up on my Itunes and it says they sync with my Ipod, but then when I look at my Ipod there are no movies, videos or anything under there...
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
Thanks a ton!

If you're having the same problem that I am, here's what I think's going on...
I've got mp4 movies, and they're in iTunes, but not showing up on my iPod.
Because I made them in iMovie'08, I've encoded them as both Medium & Large files.
It looks as if the large (high quality) version has been entered into iTunes, not the iPod compatible one.
Go to your 'Library', then down to 'Movies'.
Highlight the movie you want to have in your iPod, now go to the 'Advanced' selection on the top bar.
Whoa! The 3rd one down said 'Convert to iPod/' but now it's a gray area that I can't click on, and it says 'Covert to mp3'
But as I look down to where my playlists, there's a selection that's showing 'Converting.'
I wait with baited breath.
Good luck to us!

Songs don't show up on ipod

When I drag my songs from ITunes into my ipod on the computer, they show up. I press eject Ipod and when I look on my Ipod, they're not they're. What's happening????

I agree. Obviously, of course make sure you have "manual update" selected as well. Just make sure they are in the correct place and that you update your ipod (even if you had just done it before moving the songs and its still plugged in) to make sure the change took effect.

Songs don't show up on iPod yet show as purchased on iTunes.

I had synced my iPod with my computer like I always do. After I disconnected it, all my songs were gone from my iPod. So I synced it again and tried to put all the songs back on the iPod. Most of them went back onto the iPod, but some didn't. They show up on my iTunes but say they can not be found. It still says they're purchased and won't let me try to redownload them. I've tried turning my iPod off and turning my computer off, but neither helped. I don't know how to get my songs back. I have a iPod touch 2nd generation. This has never happened before.

Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

If someone speak spanish, I write it in spanish:
Hola, tengo un Ipod classic de 80GB, me he suscrito a algunos podcast y los he pasado a mi Ipod, pero no se cual sea la causa de que ya no veo algunos de ellos desde hace unos dias. Lo que recuerdo es solo haber conectado mi Ipod a la PC y descargar otros podcast. Los podcast que ya tenía no los he borrado de mi Ipod, en la sección de Podcast en Itunes aparecen esos podcast. he tratado de pasarlos nuevamente al Ipod, pero aparentemente hace la transferecia pero no lo veo en mi Ipod. No se si con esto, este duplicandolos.
¿Alguna sugerencia?
Gracias

Hello,
I have a similar problems. I have a Ipod 120gb and downloaded a number of podcasts to my ipod, which I saw yesterday, however, while reviewing one of them the ipod froze for a number of seconds and then all the podcasts disappeared except the one I was looking at.
Does anyone know why this happened.

What should I do?
Thanks

Hi Hirra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've synced your iPod touch with iTunes, but the music doesn't appear on the device, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the right article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

Purchased albums don't show in iTunes ... playlists missing

Hi!
I'm using iTunes 7.3.1. and have noticed that none of the albums/songs purchased from the iTunes store do not display when I click on "Purchased" within the STORE section on the LH side of the screen. The files themselves are fortunately still there.
I also note that many of my playlists have disappeared although the playlist name still appears.
What might I have done to cause this. Help appreciated
DAVID

Ken:
Delete the iPhoto, iTunes and the iApps preference files. Then launch iPhoto followed by iTunes. See if that will let iTunes view the iPhoto albums.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why the albuns artcover won´t show in the iPod?

I have tried everything already, from unistalling iTunes (twice) to looking over all the manuals and check boxes in iTunes, and yet, some of the album artcovers don´t show in the iPod after sycing checked musics. The weird thing is that it has happened out of the blue, once it was everything ok before. I have this new iPod Touch for over 2 months now and it´s very fustrating not to have the artcover in it since I spent a lot of time and patiance adding all the right artcovers to the albuns.

I am not that knowledgeable on ID but to start the discussion I would suggest you post where you are trying to view your PDF. If you are viewing in Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a Desktop Client then there might be a problem. But if you are trying to view on an iOS or Android device (or other mobile device) then that is the main cause as to why you can't view multimedia things and have interactivity.

Help - my songs don't show up on 30G w/ video...

Everything worked yesterday...
I connected to my PC and added some files (not songs) & disconnected with no issues.
Today, I turn on my Ipod and nothing is on it. However, when I connect it to my PC, and click into MY COMPUTER & show hidden files, IPod Control appears. When I click into that, and look @ the Music folder, 2,343 files show up, so my music is still there...
Then when I go to the ipod Settings > About
Songs 0
Videos 0
Photos 0
Capacity 27.8 GB
Available 14.4 GB
Has anybody had this happen? Help please....

NO! DONT RESTORE IT THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE! Post
again if you havnt restored yet.
If the songs are in iTunes, why not restore and then reupdate the music onto the iPod?
What's your "alternative" just because the song files are visible in a hidden folder on the iPod?
The reason the songs are not visible on the iPod is because there is something up with the iTunes_DB file. If the songs are in iTunes, then restoring the iPod will allow iTunes to recreate that iTunes_DB file, allowing you to play the songs on the iPod.

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
