Videos from itunes not syncing

Ok so I bought two videos from iTunes and they won't load on my ipod.
The error message says they aren't the correct format...but i got them from itunes.
what do i do?

Wow I spent 3 hours on the phone with tech support and talked to a product specialist who didnt know what to do. So then he talked to the store about it and they sent me an email telling me to try updating my ipod...like i hadn't already tried that. itunes messed up and theyre trying to make it look like i'm doing something wrong.

Why will my music from iTunes not sync to my iPad?

I tried to drag music from my library to the iPad and the music files are all in grey. I've have reconnected the iPad but they still will not show. I have also restarted my iPad and computer. All songs and playlist from iTunes are there but are all greyed out. All music synced fine to my iPhone and iPod touch. HELP?!

I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8. Don't know if that helps?

Why does my downloaded film from iTunes not sync to my iPhone?

I cannot work out how to get my iPhone to sync and include the film I've just downloaded from iTunes. Feel as if I've tried all the obvious things. Any clues welcome?

Have you gone to the video tab (in itunes) and selected sync movies and selected the movie that you want synced?

IPhone Videos from iPhoto not Syncing

I have a lot of video I shot on my 3GS imported into albums in iPhoto, and when I sync my iPad, they do not transfer, although the photos do. I checked the box that says "include videos" on my iPad photos tab - I called applecare, they suggested unchecking the box, syncing, then checking it again, and re-syncing. no luck. I went into iSync at their suggestion and reset the sync history, then . No dice. Then I copied the videos into the Movies tab in my iPhoto library, and it worked alright. Not the most elegant solution. Is there a way to make it work so they sync into the Photo album where they came from ?? The applecare guy said it might be the video format, but I would think with 2 iDevices, they should work together flawlessly. Any suggestions ?

I have exactly the same problem and same configuration. Any solution for this "issue"?

Songs purchased from iTunes not syncing

In the last week I have purchased 3 songs from the iTunes store using my iPhone. Whilst these songs do show up on both the phone and on my iTunes itself, whenever I play them on the iPhone and then sync the phone it doesn't register that I've listened to them recently. Also, I havre added them to a custom made playlist on several occasions, and then when i sync my phone they disappear from the playlist and I have to put them back every time. I have tried adding them to this playlist using both the iPhone and iTunes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a playlist on iTunes of songs I have purchased, and these 3 songs do not appear in the list.
Can anyone tell me why this may be and if there is any way I can fix it?
Many thanks

thanks

Songs selected from itunes not syncing to phone

I wanted to put a downloaded song onto itunes, so I double clicked the song and it appeared on my itunes list. How do I get this song from the itunes list to my iphone4? Do I have to check off all the songs I already have from the list. or do I just check the recently added song from the itunes list? Then what do I do? Do I just click on sync? Thanks!

Same here. I use an old flip phone, and send texts from my desktop computer many times a day. Texts from my computer never show up on my phone. Now, however, it is almost impossible to text from my computer using either Firefox or Internet Explorer. When I click "Send a Message", the screen usually freezes and never fully loads the texting webpage. If I am lucky enough to see it load and see all the texts I've sent, sending a new one is extremely slow, or causes the page to freeze completely. Verizon, I've had your service forever, and would never "cheat" on you. But still, PLEASE bring our ability to send texts from our computers into the 21st Century.

Videos from iTunes not playing after reboot

I had to reboot my computer after something went wrong with it (and all i was getting was a blank blue screen). after it was fixed, everything is back to normal, with the exception of the videos I bought on iTunes. They don't play at all. When I click on the videos nothing happens. The top of iTunes, where it normalyl shows the title of the video or song playing and the song/videos progression, just has the apple logo. And in the bottom left corner, under the "now playing" bar - insted of the video playing all it says is "nothing playing".... though when i change that bar to "selected song" it does show the artwork.
I thought maybe the video files which i had purchased had been corrupetd or something, but i cannot even play videos off of iTunes when i want to preview something.

also, when i go to preferences and view my ipod settings, i can't click on anything in the video section (automatically update these playlists, etc.)
what is going on?

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Videos and TV programmes bought from itunes wont sync

I have bought some TV Programmes and videos from iTunes but despite ticking all the relevant boxes they wont sync to my ipod.
IPod Touch 2nd Gen 8gb

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
I suspect the items are HD version. Only the 4G and 5G can play/sync HD. If the suggestion in the above articles do not work you may to redownload an SD version (if available) by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
Sync Music:
Selected Playlists, artists, genres
Music Videos - Not Checked
Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
It can be kind of confusing.
I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
Not supposed to do that.
If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
It is compatible.
If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB. I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB. Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone. Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
Here's what I've always done: I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable. Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window. Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer. Finally I hit "Apply." The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced. They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them. This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone. I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info." I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.
