iTunes won't sync videos to iPod (no "Movies" tab in iTunes either)

Your iPod must be plugged in to your computer to see the Movies/Video tab in iTunes. Plug in your iPod and make sure it's selected in the left-hand pane in itunes where it shows up under devices. You should be looking at the Summary page in iTunes with tabs across the top. Select Movies/Video and then check your preferences.

You won't see a Movies/Videos option in your iPod menu unless you actually have some videos synced onto the iPod. Check those preferences in iTunes and then sync again

Do you have the iPod selected in that left-hand pane. What does your iTunes window look like?

OK...I am perplexed. I'll keep thinking, but I'm not sure why it's not showing up.

When you select Movies in your iTunes library (top left) do your movie files actually show up there?

One thing is your software is 6.0. Looks to me like that may be the problem.

One thing is your software is 6.0. Looks to me like that may be the problem. I can't figure that out.

My 30g video software is 1.2.1 and the iTunes software is 7.2.0.34..

If I were you, I'd download the latest iTunes and see if that won't fix your problem. Something is haywire there.

I have the same problem (missing tabs) only I'm missing the contacts and calendar tabs. I have a brand new 5th generation ipod and my itunes is vs. 7.3.2. I have heard that these should be there, but I can not find anything to explain this.

Suggestions?

I'm suspecting that you don't have the video iPod. Although your iTunes supports video, there is absolutely no reference to video on the iPod portion of the screen. Also, there's no Photo tab and no Games tab.

Further, the iPod software version number is completely out of whack. The latest version for the Generation-5 iPod is 1.2.1 yet you have 6.0. Finally, your serial number doesn't look quite right. I have absolutely confirmed that that is not a serial number for the "late 2006 Generation-5" unit but I can't get sample serial numbers from the earlier Gen-5 units.

Go here and determine exactly what you have.

I checked the serial number, you do have a 5th generation iPod. Since the data is incorrect in your screen shot I'm going to guess that you have a drive collision with your iPod.

With the exception of your iPod, (connected to a rear port of your computer), keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices, including printers, scanners, digital cameras, PDAs, phones, thumb drives, flash memory, external harddrives and disconnect from any networks you might be on, then read this:

Try a much higher drive letter, such as M or P or Z.

I looked really hard. Where did you find the SN info?

If you have a backup of your music and/or videos; I'd try restoring your iPod in iTunes.
