View Full Version : Newbie - moving movies to my ipod touch

I'm a new ipod touch user. I wanted to test the "videos" feature of the Touch, so I went to the App store, and browsed for a free video. I downloaded the "Preview Special" of Star Wars: Clone Wars. It's about a 20 min video, 220Mb or so. iTunes asked me to enter my password for my itunes account, and then proceeded to download the content.

Now, the video finished downloading and plays fine from iTunes. However, after I sync my Touch, it still says there are no movies available when I browse using the videos button on the Touch. I went to the iPod configuration via iTunes, and made sure "sync movies" was checked, with "all movies" being the option selected. However, the movie isn't listed at all here (for example, under the photos section, it will say all (3) photos).

Even after syncing, the video never shows up on the Touch.

Interestingly, it does not show up under the "movies" section of iTunes. I can only find it via the "Purchased" content section. Why can't I get it moved over to my Touch?

Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

I didn't realize iTunes distinguished between movies and tv shows. And I didn't notice the TV shows tab on the sync page. Enabling that sync fixed thing for me.
