I downloaded from Itune Music store the Coldplay album X & Y -- and it came with video .. my IPOD wouldn't copy the audio -- so that is my first question... how to get it onto my IPOD -- and then how can I burn it to watch?

My operating system is 10.4.2

Thank you

Your iPod won't play the video, as far as I know.

You can import the video into iMovie (or iDVD) and burn it that way.

Thanks -- I know the IPOD won't play video -- I want to download the audio to my IPOD - but it doesn't seem to copy. How do I get around that?

To burn the video into iMovie or iDVD -- do I copy it from iTunes?

You should be able to import the video into iMovie or iDVD, although you may need to find the file yourself in Finder. I'd make a duplicate copy of the file to mess with, so yes -- copy it

If you have QuickTime Pro you can open the Movie in QuickTime player, Save As... a new file (for safety), then delete the video track and Export... to MP3 or AAC and then import it back into iTunes.

If that doesn't work, you can use Audio Hijack (or similar) to RIP the audio directly from your audio hardware as you play it.

There are also third party programs that may allow you to extract the audio component of the video (I haven't tried it recently, but all the usual suspects usually work).

I am struggling to figure out the Idvd -- but worse it that the itunes won't transfer the audio at all. I am trying to copy Coldplay to my Ipod -- but it gives the message that my software is too old to copy those songs over. I went to Apple -- and downloaded the latest software -- but it wouldn't download because it said I had it already! and I am using itunes 5.01 -- So why won't it copy? I want on my ipod----Help please

It could be some kind of DRM is preventing you from getting the audio. In this case Audio Hijack will do the job for you (but it's not free).

I suggest you look inside your iTunes music folder for the actual video file, and then option-drag it somewhere else, e.g. your desktop. See if you can open it directly. If you can, then you can use QuickTime Pro *or* some third party program to extract the audio track.

I'm guessing Apple did not intend for this to be easy
