you plug you ipod into your computer and there should be an autoplay window. open the files and find "DCIM" file and your videos should be stored there. but my problem is that i cant convert an mp4 into a regular video so i can put them on youtube

You suck just like PC. Whoever said PC means piece of crap is right. I had that thing for a while and it was so slow. Then I got a Mac and my life was saved. It takes 1 second to go on the internet. All PCS have cheap processors!

- Open "my computer"
- Click on the drive your ipod is on; e.g. "My Ipod (G;)
- Click "DCIM"
- Your videos are located there. they are mp4 video format

I was able to copy the video to my desktop, but I can't figure out how to play the .mp4 or the .DAT file. I only have the software that came with my Mac. Do I need to download some software to view the video? Thanks.

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

Ask a question
Plug in your ipod
go to Start,
Computer,
With your drives, you should see your ipod's, if not, plug your ipod in again.
There should be a list of folders, click the one with the letters (ex. DFCA[i forgot the actual letters])
click the apple folder (it should be the only one there)
then there should be a list of your videos
one file, being the actual video, and one being the data file (.data, or something)
you drag the video file to your videos folder (you might have to open another Computer/Documents window so you can drag it correctly) and there will be a copy left on your ipod as well.

1. Plug your ipod into your computer
2. Go to my computer. Your ipod should be on there. Click on it.
3. The files should pop up. Then click on DCIM.
4. Once you click on it, your vidios should automaticly be saved to your computer.

This is a simple thing to do first open itunes and click on summery of your ipod under were it says manuelly manage music on the list there is a enable disk use check it and click apply and then sync after that go into my computer ipod DCIM 0000apple and there is a list of the videos you have taken there in mp4 format so if you want to upload them faster you should download. any video converter and convert it to WMV and upload them on youtube WAY FASTER!

Importing Recorded Videos to Your Computer

To import your recorded videos to your computer, iPod nano must be enabled for disk use.

To enable iPod nano for disk use:

2 In iTunes, click iPod nano in the device list and click the Summary tab.

3 Select "Enable disk use."

4 Click Apply

5 Go to "My Computer" and click on your ipod nano device

6 click DCIM

7 click Apple000

8 Find your video and drag it onto your PC

No software is supplied by Apple for this task

when u plug in ur ipod, go to my computer on the desktop (if you hav windows or something) and ur ipod should show up as a device. clik on it to view ur files and i'm guessing you can cut and paste the files to and from your ipod

First you need to plug in your USB cable into your ipod nano and then the other end to the computer usb port. a window should pop up saying at the top your name EX: JOHN'S (F:) indicating it is your ipod nano 5th generation. the window is named Autoplay. There are two different sections to the window box. the first box is named: Picture options. then there are things you can click on what you are asking for is the first box called Import Pictures and Videos. Another box will appear named Import Pictures and Videos. in the box, type in what you want to name the file to be saved onto your computer. after your done press the "ok" button and the videos will begin to import onto your computer, after it is done(it might take a few minutues depending on how many videos you have on your ipod nano) a new window will open and it will be all your videos and a thumbnail of your video. you can click on any of your videos and it will open in windows media player playing your video. if you want to edit your vids i suggest you used windows movie maker if you have it. to upload your videos to sites EX: Youtube.com, press upload on the site and press on your files and press pictures and press the file you chose to name the vidoes. do the same thing to just watch the vids on your computer or edit vids on Windows Movie Maker. I hope you succeeded with my steps and got to what you wanted. just to tell you i am only 11 years old! lol Bye

download the ipod nano 5G manual at:
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1194/en_US/iPod_nano_5th_gen_UserGuide.pdf then scroll to page 55. Basically when you plug your ipod to the computer itunes opens. Go to "summary" in the set up and check "enable disk use" that will allow your nano videos to show up in iphoto

Here is a software to transfer all iPod content to the iTunes on your computer, including iPod music, movies, playlists, videos, podcasts, ratings, last played, and more. It's such a powerful one that many friends around me have used it for a long time. Enjoy
