Videos won't sync

I downloaded a movie trailer (and it does work, I've played it on iTunes and it's in my library) and even though I've checked it to import under my iPod, applied changes, and synced my iPod several times, but no matter what it never appears on my iPod. It's seriously frustrating and I have no idea what to do. It would be awful nice for it to just work. Also, it's not a problem to upload videos normally cause I got Juno onto my iPod with no problem. Can anyone help me?
Oh, and on a side note, what do the trailer sizes mean (ex., HD 1080p, Large, Medium, HD 480p) and what size would work best for a 3rd Generation Nano? Thanks a lot for all your help.

In iTunes, right click the movie, pick "Convert Selection for iPod" then try syncing that new version.

  • New iTunes videos won't sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

    I have two Apple TVs (1st Gen) that have been working wonderfully.  I've had no problem in the past downloading videos from iTunes even as recently as a month or two ago.  However, after upgrading both my OS (10.8.2) and my iTunes (10.7) my most recent download (a series subscription) won't sync.  I'm ruling out a problem with the Apple TVs specifically as it is happening with both.  The message I'm getting is "[SHOW] could not be copied to Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV".  This is the same message I get whether trying to sync the HD (720) or SD version.  Thoughts?

    You can re-download SD content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer, uncheck the preference to download HD in the bottom right corner.

  • Music video won't sync to device

    I downloaded a music video (Born Free by M.I.A.) and moved it to my desktop for some reason and now, it won't sync. It's visible in my iTunes library but I can't drag it anywhere. I probably have to move it back to a certain folder, right? Do you have an idea where that folder is located?

    hey there i jus recently discovered, all you have to do is highlight the music u want and drag it to ur iphone or ipad tab, ios 6 is just a beta, and it comes with common little flaws like this, but i just kept trying and i noticed it didnt have a option at the bottom of summary to manually manage music; it was changed to manually manage music videos, then i remember when the ipod frst came out we had to drag and drop files so i tried that and it worked, so lemem kno huw it turns out for u

  • Video won't sync after update to 4.3

    I have a 1st generation iPad, everything worked great on it prior to updating to iOS 4.3. Now, it will not sync any video - no TV, no Movies, not manually checked, not on Playlists. I have turned syncing movies/TV off, then synced, then turned movie/TV syncing on, and synced - no joy. I have reset the iPad, and done a full Restore - nothing. Video just won't sync.
    I've got a Mac running the latest 10.6 and iTunes 10.2.1
    Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

    I believe I have the same issue as you. It seems that some of my videos will sync; while others will not. I'm not sure what it is about some of the video files that allows some of them to work and the others not. I used HandBrake to convert the videos to AppleTV format and this worked for me up til this recent iTunes/iOS software update.
    I am on iTunes 10.2.1 and iOS 4.3 running on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

  • Itunes music videos won't sync to ipod

    Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been trying to resolve this problem for a month. My daughter has a 5th generation video ipod. When she updated her ipod all of her music videos were erased from her ipod. They remain and play in itunes, but wont transfer to itunes. There is a message that states some files weren't transferred to ipod because they are not compatible, but they are and they used to be on the ipod. Once again files that used to play now won't transfer and are being labeled as incompatible. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. We are about to go on a trip and having her ipod work, would make it a much more relaxing trip for me... Thanks

    After my computer freezes itunes says: Attempting to copy the disk "ipod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It also says: itunes could not copy "name of a song" to the ipod "ipod name" because the file could not be read or written. This is after it synced all but 100 of my 800 songs and all of my apps.

  • Videos won't sync to iPod, even though they show up in directory

    I'm trying to sync some movies onto my iPod Touch 3rd gen.  The movies are in mpeg4 and quicktime format. 
    I have dragged the files over successfully to my iTunes library... and these files also appear in the iPod directory for my iPod.
    Now the problem: I don't understand why these movies won't show up on my iPod after I sync it?
    I've retried many times with all sorts of different options clicked... but they never show up in the Videos on the iPod, even though they appear in the directory on my Mac.
    Any suggestions much appreciated!

    - Have you tried using the "Create iPod and iPhone Version" in the advanced tap of iTunes?
    - Is the specific format compatible with your model iPod?  There are many different mpeg formats.
    - Do they play in iTunes?

  • One video won't sync...

    Hey I have a 30 gig iPod video and I have like 5 videos successfully converted and synced to the iPod, and there's one that just won't go on, any suggestions?

    Bump, really need to figure this out, ha ha.

  • ITunes converted videos won't sync to device they were converted for

    I have two videos I'm trying to put on an iPhone and an iPad. I loaded the Quicktime movies into iTunes and tried a sync (why not right?) and I get the error "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[title of my video]", were not copied to the iPhone "[name of my iphone]" because they cannot be played on this phone." Fair enough. So I used the Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone Version option, yet when I tried to sync the files it created, they still would not sync, same error. I used the iPad/AppleTV option and was able to sync those videos to my iPad, though they would not sync to the iPhone. I tried using a 3rd party conversion software to make mp4 files but they wouldn't sync either (and happened to be about 4x larger in file size to boot).
    So why won't iTunes sync the videos it CREATED specifically for iPhone and iPod to my iPhone? I'm on iTunes 10.0. Is there a format/settings I can use on my conversion tool to get a syncable file?
    FYI - the original files are 800x600 (video screen captured Keynote presentation) in Quicktime, H264, Millions of colors, AAC, 2 Channel 44100 Hz, 24 fps, data rate 222kbit/s.

    Well, after several tries, even though I got the error message, the files did actually transfer to my iPhone. Still seems weird, but at least it worked.

  • Apps and Videos won't sync with new Verizon iPhone

    I have set up the new Verizon iPhone and synced it with iTunes. The music comes over to the phone no problem, but when I try and sync the Apps that were either purchased or free for our iPad or iPods won't come over to the phone. The error message is that the account is not authorized to sync. So I go and authorize the account on the computer, and it says it is already authorized, yet the sync of apps and videos will not occur.
    Thoughts?

    I don't think you can drag anything onto an iphone.
    You have to goto the tab in itunes and select which video you want to sync.

  • Selected videos won't sync from Aperture through iTunes to my iPhone 5s

    I don't know if this is an iPhone issue, an Aperture issue, or an iTunes issue . . .
    I'm using Aperture, on my iMac, and have created albums that contain videos (as well as photos). Some videos are iPhone-created that I imported from my iPhone into Aperture (since iCloud/Photostream does not automatically cloud videos); some videos were created by me in a separate program (iMovie or FCPX) and then down-mixed to put into my Aperture album. I'm trying to sync my Aperture album (not Event, but Album) to my iPhone 5s so that I have an album on my iPhone directly mimicking my Aperture album.
    The pictures come over perfectly, sorted by date as they are in Aperture. However, the videos have issues. Most importantly, only the ones originally created by my iPhone come back across to my phone, and in the correct album. Anything that I've created (Final Cut Pro X or iMovie) are not coming through (down-mixed as .mov files).
    I do have the "include videos" box checked in iTunes; that only serves to bring over the iPhone-created movies, some of which it dropped into the synced album, some of which it decided to put into my videos album.
    Anyone out there have any ideas what I could be doing differently? I'd like all my videos in my Aperture album to come across to my iPhone in the same album.
    Second smaller issue is that movies I made on my iPhone 5s in slo-mo, though they imported to Aperture in slo-mo, are syncing back to my iPhone 5s in real time, not slo-mo.
    Aperture: 3.5.1
    iPhone: 5s, 8.0.2
    iMac: 10.9.5
    iTunes:  11.4(18)

    As a follow-up, I down mixed the video in FCPX using "Apple Devices" 720p. That did not help.

  • Music videos won't sync to ipod?

    I have a 3rd generation iPod nano, and its supposed to be able to play movies, shows, music videos and such. All I really want is the music videos. so last motnh I bought "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, and it synced and played that weekend but then when I plugged my iPod in again, it didn't sync it. it just took it off, I also bought "Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson and neither will sync. It tells me that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" cannot copy to my ipod because it can't be played on my ipod. and it says that my computer is unauthorized to play "Love Story".
    I have iTunes, 7.9 I think. but I can't update it because I can't uninstall the Apple Software update, the file can't be found on my computer to uninstall.

    Sounds like you need to get itunes updated so the videos will play on the PC.
    Forget the Apple Software Update. Download itunes from this link
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    When the box pops up to run or save, choose SAVE and put the file where you can find it. Double-click on itunesSetup.exe and the install should run.

  • Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

    I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
    I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
    However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
    Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
    Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
    Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

  • IPod Video won't sync Video with iTunes

    After installing the latest version of iTunes and putting an hour's worth of video into it, I plugged my new iPod in. The iPod synced with my music and my pictures, but not my videos(mpg), even though I'd already set the preferences to automatically sync them. Since I purchased this ipod video yesterday, I'm wondering whether I can exchange or return it. Can someone give me a little help?

    The iPod synced with my music and my pictures, but not my videos(mpg), even though I'd already set the preferences to automatically sync them.
    Unlike the QT Player or the iTunes integrated player, the iPod player does not support .mpg (MPEG1) movies. You need to convert your files to either MPEG4/AAC (LC) or H.264/AAC (LC) formats. Since QT Pro does not convert "muxed" file formats (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) you must use an MPEG based third party application like the Videora iPod Converter (free) or similar Windows application.

  • 1st Generation Video won't sync movies, why?

    I have a 1st generation 30g Video I-Pod. I have always been able to sync movies to the I-Pod that were not purchased from I-Tunes. In general I load the I-Pod with movies and then play the movies either on the I-Pod or through a Home Dock on my TV. Has something changed or is there something wrong with the I-Pod?

    It's iPod and iTunes. You'll save yourself some typing. And you need to post in the iPod forum.

  • Videos won't sync onto my Ipod Nano 3rd gen

    I just bought my Nano 3rd gen yesterday and I really like it. The issue is I converted a few videos using videora to play on my ipod. After converting the videos they show up in Itunes. The videos are in MP4 format and they even show up in the 'movies' section in Itunes. The problem is when I click Sync up, none of the videos sync onto my Ipod. I haven't used Itunes in awhile, am I doing something incorrectly?

    This is the first time for me to use an iPod to sync videos, so I looked it up. What you have to do is select the video you want to sync after importing to iTunes. Then from the Advance menu choose convert to iPod. Then you will be able to sync the videos.
