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.

Mpg's wont download into ipod

I have music video mpeg files that I can watch with iTunes and with real player but they wont download to iPod. Why? what can I do to resolve this?

I have music video mpeg files that I can watch with
iTunes and with real player but they wont download to
iPod. Why? what can I do to resolve this?
Hi MandyD. They need to be converted to a format the iPod understands. The easiest way (but not the best quality) is to use iTunes to convert them. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes which is currently 6.02.
Select your file in the library, right click on it and select 'Convert Selection for iPod'.
There are better programs that will convert video for iPod with better quality results. If you need to know what they are, just do a quick search of the forum and you'll get a gizillion hits.
Hope this helps.

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.

My podcast wont download to IPOD

My podcast are gone after upgrading. Same thing happened to my music but I was able to find the fix to restore. Now I'm re-subscribing but the podcast wont download to my IPOD. Has anyone else had this issue

I had the same problem and just figured it out today. The new podcast I subscribed to wasn't syncing to my iPod even though all episodes were checked in the Podcasts section of Library. All my other podcasts were syncing without a problem. When I connected my iPod to my laptop I selected the iPod under "Devices" and then selected the Podcasts tab at the top. There I noticed the new podcast had been added by default with the checkbox empty. Once I checked the box it synced to my iPod.

I know this may sound dumb, but have you selected your "update all videos" preferences when your iPod is connected to your computer? Sometimes little things like that are forgotten.

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.

Videos from itune wont download on ipod

Hi,
I bought a video called "high school Musical" for my ipod. I also bought other music videos.
I have put music videos on my ipod but recently I let my brother use my ipod and when I got it back I restored it. I have never downloaded a movie on it before but I have donwloaded music videos but now neither will work.

First click on store at the top of itunes and then authorize computer. This makes sure that you computer is authorized to play and transfer what was purchased from the itunes store.
Then connect the ipod and choose the movies tab to the right at the top of the summary page and set the preferences to how you want to load them onto the ipod.
Here is a link from the apple website that will help you out.

Downloading podcast videos - wont play on ipod

I had a video that was from podcast which I could play on the itune version 6 but why didn't it play or download onto my ipod when I tried to download it to my ipod.
Thank you
Merry Crimbo to everyone!!!

I can only watch it on itunes and there is no way that I can sync the video podcast only if I am downloaded the episods and it is a show that people are talking in.
I am also trying to put a radio station on my ipod. But I only have it on my itunes. Is there a way to put it on the ipod. I have tried drag and drop it to my icon ipod but that did not work. I think you have to buy the radio station. Also, does anyone have a link in podcast for an english radio station for powerfm. I know the web site its www.powerfm.com but I want it so that I can have it on my ipod. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I have a 60GB colour screen and it has a turn wheel. If that is what it is called.

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:

Video Wont Go to iPod

Today I purchased a video and when I went to go update it into my iPod it said it could not update and that my software is too old and to go to the summary tab on my iPod and click update, when I go to do this it says I have the newest update. Everything else is on my iPod but not the new video I purchased. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Windows XP Windows XP

Get the software by going to iTunes prefs in the
General panel and look towards the bottom. Click
Check for Updates Automatically, then Ok. Then go
back to your iPod window in iTunes and Update will be
available.
Once your iPod software is updated and restarted,
you'll be on your way to enjoying your downloaded
media.

Video wont go onto iPod..

I got the Real World videos, and they went on fine. Then a couple nights later I updated my iPod cause I bought another song, then that night, I realized that the Real World videos weren't on there anymore.
I just tried to restore it and everything. Any help?

Unfortunately It's for windows & I'm on a mac. I didn't see a mac version.
Thanks anyway for responding.
Hey... i had been having similar problem. I simply
called up HK Apple helpline no. 800 908 988 and
talked to thier tech support person.
solution is finally here... they suggested me to
download convert s/w from www.jodix.com
IT WORKS !!!! thank gosh... i dont need to depend on
stupid itunes to convert...and worst it takes ages to
convert later on to find some or other tech glitches
i hope apple is reading this post and do something
about itunes !!
