Hello community of apple, i have an iPod Nano (7th Gen) and it is having trouble transferring movies. When i try to transfer a movie, it will not even appear in the syncing window. I heard it's about copy protection but I don't know how to get around this.
Help needed!
iPod Nano (7th Gen)
The iPod Nano (7th generation) needs SD or lower resolution video.

Normally (non-DRM), you may want to convert files for iPod use. The screen is only 432×240, so any higher res movies is a waste of disk space and processing power, and thus battery.
DRM-protected movies from the iTunes Store may not allow to create a derivative copy. We can’t help you to get around that. In that case, download an SD resolution copy, see if that works (temporarily change your settings for download quality).
From what computer + OS do you sync?

I may have fixed it, another option called "Download in HDR when possible" was enabled, I thought If I disable that and download the move in SD it would work.
Hi, thank you so much for replying! I am running macOS 10.15.7 Catalina on an Mid 2012 Macbook Air.
Let us know how the syncing of SD resolution content goes.
Sorry, how do i access that menu?

Thank you, give me two seconds.
Thank you very much for you're help, this means a lot.
You’re welcome. I hope it works out for you with the intended device.
Hi, update: I never got it to work.
Sorry to hear that. I have no other suggestions, unfortunately.
iPod Nano (7th Gen) will not transfer movie.
