What file extension will iphone and Itunes recognize

Ok...first time itunes user, and now I know why, and I will leave it at that.
I have always used a Windows based mobile device and I got my wife a iPhone for the ease of use....and I'll admit she likes it.
I have many .avi movies with a very convienient ripper so we can watch our dvd collection on our mobile devices. The ripper has an "iphone converter" but only burns to .mp4. I notice that any movies or videos purchased from the iTunes are in .m4v format. iTunes is not picking up on my .mp4 files.
Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone ever got .avi files onto an iPhone?
I'll tell you...I never loved Windows Activesync, but after dealing with iTunes...Activesync is a dream!

*do all video files have to be .m4v to play on itunes?*
If you read the FAQ above you'll find this information:
iPod can play the following video formats:
H.264
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 768 kbits/sec, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, and stereo audio.
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

  • I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    @Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
    BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
    Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

  • I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down???

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.

  • Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize

    I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in.  This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch.  Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked.  Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?

    Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
    If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing.

    How can I solve these stupid restrictions?

    Where are iTunes files located?
    No, I do not mean just the music.  Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

  • Files between iPhone and iTunes not syncronized

    I synchronised my iPhone and iTunes. The iPhone give me this info after the synchronisation :
    "2 elements were not synchronized. Consult iTunes to know more."
    Wher i go in iTunes to know more.
    Thank you !
    MC

    Hello, ckuan!
    That's what I usually do: I connect my iPhone to my Mac and I sync it.
    However, the "11 elements were not synchronized..." only appears on my iPhone. It tells me to look for more information on iTunes, but that's exactly the point: nothing shows on iTunes.

  • Exporting a recorded file from an iphone to itunes

    What should I do to export a recorded file  from an iPhone to iTunes?

    iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive.   I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes.   With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.  In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files.   When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive.  I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive.   Can anyone help?    I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world.   Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me!  Help !

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Restoring osx from mybook:  will iPhoto and iTunes be there?

    My imac hard drive crashed.  I did online restore.  The system does not find the mybook backup via time machine.  I can see mybook and it's contents in disk utility.  If I restore from mybook to Mac OSX Base System in disk utility will iphoto and iTunes be there?  If not, how do I retrieve them?  What is the best way for me to proceed to be fully operational again?  Thank you.

    Sounds like the hard drive died. Good thing you have a backup. Unless your backup was on another partition of the same drive. Then that may be gone for good, too.
