What's wrong with videos in the iPod touch?

Videos added to my iPod touch won't show up in iTunes. Thus, not only can I not know what videos I have from iTunes but, because of this, the only way to delete videos is from the iPod touch.
I have a word around where I can create a playlist and put all my videos there. Unfortunately, I still can't delete them from iTunes because that will only remove them from the playlist.
Finally, I'm afraid to modify any tag information for my videos. It takes an unacceptably long time for the information to update and you can corrupt your video if you cancel it with the stop button on the progress dialog. Seriously, it takes about as long as the video to update the tag of a video. So, an hour long video can take an hour to update the tag information.
I've done a search and, so far, no one has described this strange behaviour. Do I just have a defective iPod touch?
Thank you...

No, I haven't. If simply adding videos to my iPod is so buggy, I'm afraid at what a complicated procedure like synching might do. I feel like the iPod is so delicate that any unexpected input will corrupt it irrevocably. I've already had to reset it due to data corruption (which wasn't fun)...
If the device can't deal with manually added videos, why do they let us? Why not force us to synch like with photos? It's tempting to try to return it except that this can't be anything other than a software problem and no one else seems to have this issue. Am I the only person on Earth who doesn't sync? It's interesting that you automatically assumed that I was doing so. So much so that you interpreted my post as describing some form of synching, as if there was no other way to use one's iPod.
I'm fairly disappointed in this infernal device...

  • What is wrong with "Safari" on the iPod Touch?

    Safari closes and my iPod Touch goes back to home on an awful lot of sites I like to visit while the page is loading.Why can Safari deal with sites I navigate to and "Safari" on the Touch cannot? Obviously they are not as much the same as touted.
    Is anyone else finding this to be an issue? I cannot even load these support pages without it aborting. Here is another site I go to that aborts: www.worldofwarcraft.com
    Why is this happening? I have tried everything from clearing history/cookies to a complete reset of the thing.

    in addition:
    no support for real player or windows media streaming - eg. can't listen to radio
    web pages not retained for long - annoying if web-app (eg. games) loaded that don't need Internet anymore
    only 8 open web pages allowed - why?
    no autocomplete of urls (would save typing) - can use history though but extra step

  • What's wrong with my 2nd generation ipod touch?

    Recently my ipod has been messing up alot. A couple of months ago the sound was not working at all, I couldn't play music, or vidoes, everytime I would press on a song it would just go back to the music menu and it was completely mute. I restored it 5 times and nothing worked, finally I decided to turn it off and on and it worked. Everytime it would die i'd have to keep turning it off and on for it to work. Then one day the sound just stopped again. I tried turning it off and on and nothing. Then i restored it and the sound came back on and everything worked again. Also whenever i plug in my headphones some of the sound still plays through the ipod speakers, and I know it's not my headphone because they work perfectly fine when plugged into anything else. Also everytime I update it, it gets stuck on the connect to itunes menu and I have to restore it. Any suggestions at to why my ipod touch is so messed up? Is anybody else having these weird problems? I haven't dropped it in any water at all and I haven't dropped it in a long time plus it has a cover. Thank you so much.

    First of all, as for your sound, based on your description, I am pretty sure your headphone jack is broken and not working. Restoring your iPod Touch and rebooted it only fixes the technical issues and not the hardware issues. Sounds like some sort of damage internally on your iPod Touch. Take it to your closes Apple store and let them take a look at it. I suggest that this is your best bet because your OS (operating system) on your iPod cannot work with your hardware issues.

    What is going on with Pages after the update?

    Hey George.iD, you wrote on 6 Feb 2014, this:

    What's wrong with it?
    As one thing after more-than a month later on 22 March, Pages _refuses_ to alter the color of text.  How maddening this is:  I select text, I select a crayon, but the text _remains_ black.  < Pages is Incorrigible! :-( >
    [After I vented steam, I feel better  --  until later.  What a cycle!  :-) ]

  • What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

    When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

    I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
    I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
    It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
    So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
    I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • HD video on the IPod Touch 3G

    I have a new Touch 3G, model #A1318, 64GB. I can now buy/rent HD video from itunes - which as I understand it is only 720p (which is fine with me). What I can't seem to get anyone to tell me is, what resolution does the IPod Touch output to your HD TV when connected with an Apple Component (not composite) cable? If I rent an HD movie through itunes in HD, will I get 720p displayed on my TV? Do I need some special app to make it work? Does anyone KNOW the answer? My frinds , who are less then tech savvy (still being nice) insist they are running "HD" movies, but I can definately tell it is not. Please help.

    HD movies cannot be synced or transferred to the iPod Touch. Whenever you purchase an HD video from the iTunes Store, you will also receive the SD version to use with your iPod Touch. See this support article for details http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209

  • Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

    Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
    Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
    Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

  • What is wrong with videos in iTunes on OS X Yosemite?

    When I play a video (whether it be a TV show, movie preview, movie, music video) in iTunes, it doesn't display right. The video is trapped in this tiny window on Desktop 1, and won't be moved or made fullscreen. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all. What's up with that?!

  • Does anyone know how to permanently delete emails with attachments on the ipod touch?

    Hey guys, a few months ago I sent an email from my cell to my ipodtouch(I have the newest model) to a friend(she has a older model) does anyone know if you delete the email by clicking on trash then will it be non recoverable? Thanks

    You will need to empty also trash to be sure. The email and the attachment will not be on iPod but may be a copy will still be on a server of your provider according to the system he uses (IMAP or POP3) and according to the preferences you have set on the mail programs (leave message on the server... delete it after a date or after deleting it from inbox or... there are many possibility).
    If the mail message is still on a server teoretically you can download it again from the iPod or even another computer.. of course knowing your account settings and password.
    What is not clear in your message: you mention 3 devices: sent thge mail from your cell (1) to your iPod (2) and/or to your friend (3).
    Added later: you will also need to check the SentMessage Folder because a copy of the mail could also be there if you sett to keep a copy there.

  • Hey what's that game featured in the Ipod Touch 2g Guided tour?

    Sorry but I just wanted to know. You know that game in the new Ipod Touch Guided tour where there is like what seems like lava spilling down and you use the multitouch feature to create some sort of seperator to guide the lava/sparks into pots. Its the one where the girl talks about playing games that use the Multitouch feature.

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me the name of the dice game on the ad please?
    Thank you in anticipation

  • Facebook has not been loading properly for me since Feb. 22/14. Can you please check what is wrong with Firefox. The web-site Facebook works fine on Safari.

    I've had issues with Facebook not loading certain areas of the web-site correctly or fully since Feb. 22. When I first go onto Facebook I am on the home page "news feed". Thing is when I click on the tab at the bottom of the news feed that says "see more", nothing is happening. It refuses to open the feed up to older posts which friends or myself have posted. Only about 6 - 8 posts at the max show on that home feed. That's it.
    My other issue, also in Facebook is when I go to access my "messages". First click on the tab "messages" brings up a white page. Then if I refresh the page to see if it will load, the messages page loads very weird. It shows the last message I may have replied to at the bottom of the screen, but over lapping on top of the list of previous messages to the left of the page. Plus the page appears extremely different than it should. Just like it's been re-formatted or whatever.
    Since these 2 issues started on Saturday afternoon I've switched over to the Safari browser on my iMac. On that browser Facebook is performing properly, as it should be. It's not overlapping messages. Plus the home feed isn't refusing to extend for me so that I may view older stories or posts by friends. All appears fine while accessing Facebook on the Safari browser. Not so while on Firefox. I am running the most up to date version of Firefox. "27.0.1" Plus I have a habit to clear the browser's history daily & restarting the browser as well as my iMac. So I do not believe those are my problems. I feel there may be something you guys there at Firefox should look into on this.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
