Why can't I add videos to my iPod touch 4th gen?

I have updated my 4th gen iPod touch to the most recent iOS, 6.1.2. I want to put videos in it. I have already converted my videos to the appropriate format and put them in iTunes. But when I drag the icon of the video to the iPod touch icon, it won't work. On the other hand, when I do the same to the iPod classic, it works like a charm. How come I can't add videos to my 4th gen iPod touch? HELP!

I would try placing the movies in the iTunes movie library and then using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the advanced tab of iTunes.  It is likely that the format is not compatible with the iPod.  There are many variations in the mp4 format and all are not compatible the iPod.

  • Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

    How can I install iOS 7 on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    You can't
    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Trying to upload to youtube a 16:9 video through my ipod touch 4th gen and its not working.

    Hey i have managed to download the Imovie for the Ipod touch 4th Gen, I can't seem to export or upload to youtube a 16:9 screen just a very thin screen. I don't have a apple mac, I have windows vista. I realise for some features you have to use a apple mac. So is there anyway that I can fix this problem, thank you for your time and patience.

    See:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

    I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

    What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages?  Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
    How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

  • Can I watch videos from my iPod touch 4th gen on my tv

    I have purchased a composite video AV cable to TV RCA cable to watch my videos from my iPod touch through my tv. The lead apparently works with all ipod touch and iPhone 4, and all software updated, but I can not change my video settings to play through the tv as I don't have the option to change to tv out.
    Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thanks

    Ok, I have music videos on my iPod, purchased from iTunes and I want to view them on my tv. I bought the cable as I was told this would work. If you can't view a video bought from iTunes on a tv, what can you view?
    All connections are correct, the iPod states that the video is being played through a tv, but nothing shows up on my screen. And yes, I do know which channel to switch to. I just don't have the option on my iPod or iPhone to switch to tv out, whether the cable is plugged in or not. Every where I look for info it says I need to change my options to video out on my iPod settings, but it's not an option available. All I get on my tv is a plain screen as if nothing is connected.

  • Why can't I add photos to my iPod Touch?

    Using iTunes 10.2.2
    iTunes Help instructions "Add photos to iPod, iPhone, and iPad" just downloaded.
    Instructions say "To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”"
    There is no “Include full-resolution photos.” only an "Include videos"
    Instructions say to "Click Apply."  There is no "Apply."
    I check "Sync Photos From" and select the album I want to sync.
    I click on "Sync Photos From" and get the message:
    "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPod “iPod touch”. Would you like iTunes to remove photos previously copied to your iPod?"
    Why don't the instruction match the iTunes screen?

  • Video/Photo Recovery (iPod Touch 4th Gen)

    I bought an iPod touch new and started using it for photos and videos. However I plugged it in to iTunes and it synced with my backup files, wiping the previous videos and photos off the device. Is there any way I can recover the photos and videos I took before syncing?

  • Can I fix the screen on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    The screen is basically spiderwebbed and I know that you can affordability replace yourself or get an expert to replace the screens on second and third gens. But can it be done with a 4th gen. and if so how much would it cost?

    - To fix yourself see:
    iPod Touch Repair – iFixit
    It says where to get parts.
    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
    - A third-party place may be less expensive. Here is one, Google for more.

  • Why can't I watch video from my iPod touch?

    I use the Apple dock and an Apple cable with red, white and yellow plugs.

    I would look at both parts (able end and iPod) of the dock connector for abnormalities (e.g., bent pins, foreign material).  If OK do you have another TV to try or another iPod to try?  Do you have an Apple store nearby where you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of their store.  Some other users have reported bad cables out-of the-box.
