Videos organized on my IPOD

All my videos work fine.. I can see them and hear them. HOWEVER: When I add them to my itunes library and my IPOD Video they lose their folder assignments that exists on the hard Drive. The PROBLEM: They start out as organized into Home, Comedy, News, YouTube etc.. and then end up on itunes/IPOD as one long list of alphabetical videos. ???? How can I keep some sort of file organization of videos on my IPOD. INFO: My music albums are organized by itunes into folders on the MyMusic/itunes/itunes Music... the IPOD then maintains that file organization as albums on the IPOD, thats great we all know that... so why wont my videos. Is it because they reside under MyVideos??? I don't know, please help.

iPods don't support folders. Your iPod isn't organizing your music base on your folder structure. It's organizing them based on the tag info. For whatever reason, the iPod interface doesn't break out things like genre for video.
You might want to put your videos in playlists, which your iPod will recognize.

  • Using video clips with my ipod

    I am working on a project that requires me to use video clips on my ipod(I have a video ipod). I would like to divide each clip(about 10-20 seconds each) into approximately 10 categories. There would be about 100-200 clips in all. I would like to be able to view these clips on my ipod and that they be organized on my ipod into these 10 categories for easy browsing. The categories and the clips would ideally all have names attached to them. My question is: Is this possible, if it is, how do I go about doing this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Well that would explain why you cannot add them to your Nano.
    Try using a program such as Handbrake or MPEG-Streamclip to convert these clips to more friendly formats. I have had the best results with these two utilties.

  • Is it possible to EXPORT video films from the iPod to iTunes ?

    EXPORTING FILES FROM IPOD TO ITUNES
    Obviously, I know how to send files from iTunes to iPod.
    But is it possible to do the opposite way ?
    I have video files on my iPod that got lost on my hard drive.
    I'd like to save them back to the hard drive (and import them back into iTunes).
    Anyone out there knows if this is possible ?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. One that I recall does videos as well is iPodCopy. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for it: iPodCopy

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • How do I import an iPod touch video back to my iPod once I've downloaded it to my Macbook??

    I took a video on my new iPod touch. Transferred it to my Macbook. Now realize I want to be able to view it on my iPod. Once something is downloaded and deleted from my iPod, can I reverse that?

    It'll need to be imported into iTunes first and then configured to sync to your iPod from under the Movies/Videos tab.

    I've recently purchased my Ipod Touch 4th generation and Apple TV 2nd generation - I don't seem to be able to view videos taken on my Ipod on Apple TV. Would appreciate any feedback.
    Thank you

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • How can I transfer video to tv from IPOD Classic ,tried with cable

    How can I transfer video to TV from Ipod Classic..I have tried different settings with Composite cable?

    Good afternoon,   I have a Belkin video cable which I bought from an apple seller in our major store.  I can connect it to IPOD and TV, but have an issue in getting videos to play on TV,  I have connected the charger which came with the cable which then plays on IPOD only.   Dont know what to do next....Dont know about input on TV to composite...   If you can help, much appreciated....Virginia

  • 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...

    If anyone else can't play songs from their device in iTunes, try steps below which solved my problem:
    Be sure your device is selected.
    Right Click anywhere on Contents screen.
    Select "Reset Plays" your selected song(s) should begin playing.
    The "Pause, Play etc" buttons are no longer greyed out.

  • Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • IPod Touch - video out using older iPod Composite cable

    OK so the running commentary about video output from the iPod touch is a little confusing. It seems that the only video out supported by apple seems to be from their own component/composite cables. The older iPod Photo came with a 1/8" headphone A/V composite cable that allowed me to connect it to my TV for photo slide-shows with a soundtrack. Can I use this same cable to connect the IPT with my TV or am I now forced to purchase the $50.00 30-pin cable? I cannot find anything that is definitive, and I have not tried it yet. After spending a small fortune on the iPod I am not excited about having to buy a new cable...
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: ca_nimrod

    Just the cable - I was using "dock" in the sense of dock connector (which is how the non-USB end is referred to), not the Universal Dock product.
    Here are links to the Apple Store for the component and composite cables. These also include a USB cable for power.
    You're guessing correctly - the USB cable (with the dock connector on the other end) that you use for syncing cannot transmit video from the IPT.
