Why is it difficult to put a movie on ipod nano?

I bought a new ipod nano (8gig) and i just want to put a movie on it. I am finding it difficult to do so through itunes 7.0. I called tech support and they said i needed a help drive. I thought it would be simple task. If any1 could help that would be great.

Assuming this nano is a new 3rd gen (you are posting in the forum for older iPod nanos which do not support video transfer and playback) try updating your iTunes to the latest version.
iTunes download.
Sorry, I have no idea what a "help drive" is.

  • One of the episodes that i had on my IPOD NANO 8GB was removed off when i put a new episode of that tv show that i bought and put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB. How do i get the first episode that i bought back on my Ipod Nano 8GB with the new episode on it?

    I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod?  Please Help Soon.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • Playing movie on iPod nano

    Is it true that iPod nano(2nd Gen) can't play movies? Has anyone tried to transfer MPEG4 movies into iPod nano? Thanks

    The iPod video is the only iPod at present that play movies.

  • Putting pics on my ipod nano (2nd gen)

    How do you put pics on your iPod nano?

    Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    On a small device like the 2GB Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
    You can also have a look at the tutorial which you'll find on this page:

  • How do you put pictures on your ipod nano?? i go to edit i click preferences and after that im so confused, how do you put pictures on your ipod nano?? i go to edit i click preferences and after that im so confused

    How do you put pictures on your ipod nano?? i was told to go to edit then click prefereces but after that i am completly lost.

    Put all the pictures you want to put on your ipod in one folder on your computer. Then, once you're in itunes, click on your ipod (under the devices section). Once you've done this, click on photos at the top and click on the box beside Sync Photos (so there's a tick in the box). It'll say 'sync photos from .......' and then a drop down bar. In the drop down bar it will probably say my pictures or something, click on that. Then click selected folders (unless you want to put all of your pics on) and then tick the folder you want to put on your ipod. Finally, click sync (bottom right hand corner) - it'll load and then your done.

  • I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

    I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
    thanks so much

    1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
    2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
    3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
    In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • How to put photos in to Ipod Nano

    How can i put any images to my Ipod Nano?
    Do i need to buy any additional software?
    Can anyone please help me?

    This is what I do:
    Right click on the iPod nano icon in iTunes.
    Click on the iPod options from the drop down list.
    A Window will appear with several tabs.
    Click on Photos.
    At this point it is intuitive.
    ..."Sychonize photos from"...
    You don't need any Adobe software, as you can upload
    photos from My Pictures in your My Documents folder.
    Another way to get this information is read the documentation that Apple supplies.

  • Putting songs on my ipod nano (second generation)Please answer ASAP

    hello! i just got my ipod nano (4gb green)and it says to put songs on your ipod manually, click on your ipod under 'devices', which i did. then it says, if the summary pane isnt showing, click on the summary tab. what is the summary tab? i dont have one! where is it? how do i put the songs on my ipod! ahhhhh! please help me!

    ok 2 add manually first you need to set the ipod to do this. On the left hand side you will have a list of stuff and somewere about halfway down you will see your ipod. Click on this and in big panel you will see the option 2 update manually, apply them settings and to add the stuff all you need to do is, click on the top music bit on the left side, select the music in the big window and drag it over to your ipod bit on the left. all going well you will get a spinning thing showing next 2 your ipod bit and it telling you what going on in bar at the top

  • Putting Songs From One Ipod Nano Onto Another!

    My kids both have ipod nanos. One has the 1st gen. nano and my other one has the 2nd gen. nano. My son with the 2nd gen. ipod nano, he accidently deleted all his songs. Anyway,he wanted to try to put all the songs my other son with the 1st gen. nano on his 2nd gen ipod nano. IS there anyway to do that? Can you copy and paste songs from the 1st gen. ipod nano to a 2nd gen ipod nano. If you could please tell me how. It will be a great help. Thanks!

    I am guessing that your computer does not have the music library your #1 son has right? If your music library simply had the music #1 son has then simply sync the same songs to #2 son's ipod.
    If this is not the case then there is NO way of getting music from #1 son ipod to #2 son ipod directly without going thru the computer. Hence it is vital to have the songs from #1 son ipod in your itunes music library for #2 son ipod to have the same music as #1 son has.
    (confused yet???)
    So you either need to get the music from the #1 son ipod to your computer itunes library or say that #2 son is out of luck. which is not good
    So look at this link of a previous discussion for software that will get the music from the ipod to the computer.

  • HT1353 how can i put music in an ipod nano with no hard drive only flash drive

    Do you have iTunes installed on your computer? Does the iPod nano come up in iTunes when you connect it?

  • Cannot put new songs on ipod nano with itunes 11

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now cannot put new songs on my son's iPod nano (gen6, 1.2PC). Help, please.

    An iPod will not (and cannot) have iTunes 11 on it. If you mean you want to sync your iPod from your computer with iTunes 11, just connect the iPod and click its name in the header bar. Or go to the View menu in iTunes and select "Show Sidebar" and you'll have an interface substantially the same as in earlier versions of iTunes.
    Regards.
