How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch. I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem. Can anyone help?

thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Harry,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have installed iTunes on your new computer, make sure you have downloaded or copied the songs to the new computer as well. The steps in this article can help with copying your music to a new computer:
iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers - Apple Support
You may also be able to download the past purchases from the iTunes Store:

If you've already copied or downloaded the songs to the iTunes library on your new computer, see if the files are displaying a red exclamation mark next to them. If so, this article can be helpful:

When i try to open my iTunes library in my Mac Pro say error13001 do you know what is that ?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.

Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

You are not able to view purchase history on your iOS device. You may only re-download previous purchases from the iOS device.

Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

What happens if you try to Option-drag the library to the EHD? The same icon?
