New movies show up in iTunes a week before ATV.

I have noticed that some new movies that show up in iTunes take a week or 2 longer to show up on Apple TV. Whats the deal? Also, can I rent the movies from my PC with iTunes and watch them on the ATV?

which apparently lists all new movies.
You should be able to rent in the US as far as I'm aware on a PC.
Can't confirm as I'm in UK and can't rent at all!

New movies showing up in iTunes not purchased

I have rec'd new movies on itunes and I have no clue why. I have not order anything from Itunes store. Does anyone know why this would happen?

I presume you are not using anything other than default iTunes advanced preferences settings. If you are it is critical you tell people when you post here.
Back up your computer.
Drag the Music folder in your iTunes Media folder your main iTunes music library list in the left sidebar. This should add anything in that folder to iTunes that is not already recognized by iTunes as being in that folder. It should not duplicate anything but if it does then something odd is happening with your music arrangement and you can undo this step by using the backup you did just before trying it.

I have a new movie rental in my iTunes account on my Mac Book Pro but does not show up on Apple TV. All my other purchased movies are there OK. Any suggestions?

It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

HT1657 Is the new movie Lincoln available at iTunes, I find the book but not the movie?

Is the new movie Lincoln available at iTunes, I find the book after a lot of missleading advertisement but can't seem to find the NEW move.

Thanks for thoughts...That is what I was starting to believe....When you go to iTunes there are some deceptive advertisements that lead you to the book, Lincoln, after first referring to the movie.

TWO Questions about the new TV shows rental with iTunes and Old Apple TV

Hello all. Been trying to find some FAQs or something but think only got partial answers, so I hope I can get some here, using 'Glee' as an example:
1. Can the (old) Apple TV rent new TV shows available? E.G. Glee Season 2?
2. If I use iTunes 10 to rent an episode (of Glee HD), can I play it on my TV via my (old) Apple TV? Like in the form some kind of streaming?
Thanks and cheers

You may be right, I'm just thinking there is no movie rental "movie menu" option on the current Apple tv either, but one can still rent movies.
Unless the tv show downloads are specifically designed to block usage on certain devices or there is something different about them, I would have thought that tv show rentals could be enabled at the itms end by adding a rental option on the specific tv show page, just as movies are done now.
If I were in the US, I probably wouldn't be holding my breathe for tv show rentals but I'm not convinced I'd rule them out either.

HELP! New songs show up on Itunes and Purchased list, but will not show up on phone.

I've added some new songs to my Purchased list. They show up on iTunes, but do not add after being synced to my iPhone 4s! The sync goes through, but they don't show up on the phone at ALL. I've tried deleting and re-adding to Purchased, but it didn't work. The software is all up to date as well. Has this happened to anyone? What do I do?

Hello bm511
Try switching to manually manage music for your iPhone, then you can drag and drop the music that you want or even drag the playlist to add the song.

Have movies show up in iTunes that I store elsewhere

I have a buttload of movies and videos that I have converted to the iTunes/Ipod format. I am very quickly running out of hard drive space (1 TB hard drive)
Is there anyway I can burn these movies to a DVD and still have them show up in iTunes so I can keep track of what movies I have.
Additional Info.
The movies are not bought from the itunes store, they are my own that I converted.
I want to take Movies 1,2,3,4 and 5. Burn them to a DVD. Delete them from the computers hard drive. While still having them show up in iTunes. (i know i wont be able to play them unless I add them back to the HD)
Basically im looking for a way to use iTunes as a movie cataloger.
OR
Do you know of any good software to catalog movies that links to or integrates into iTunes, so I can use Remote on my iPod touch as a remote control to watch movies. (PS im on a windows Vista home basic PC so I don't get to use Media Center...Im starting to dislike Microsoft. The Apple minis lookin awful cute in them white shorts)
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can burn them to DVD and remove them from your PC's hard drive, but not from the Movie list in the iTunes window.
If you try to play them in itunes, you'll get a ! +file not found, would you like to locate it+ ? message.
Then pop your DVD in and browse to the file on the DVD, and it should play, as long as the DVD is there.
You could also store the movies on an external hard drive and do the same thing.

Make Movies Show up in Itunes

I'm streaming a folder on my computer to my ATV. In Itunes i have the folder listed as my music location under preferences (ie. C:\Shared) Can anyone tell me why when i copy a movie into the folder Itunes will not see the new movie i copied in unless i choose File --> Add Folder to Library (each time i copy a new movie to the folder). Then Itunes will see the files and so will ATV. The problem is I dont want to manually have to add the folder again everytime i copy a movie into the folder. (multiple users have access to the folder so new movies are copied into it regularly) Any ideas? Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no way to get iTunes to continually (or even periodically) check it's folders to see if there are new files there. iTunes is designed to be used to have files added THROUGH it, so when files are added into iTunes by other programs or Windows Explorer, etc, it won't see them until you manually tell it to LOOK for them.
It kinda stinks that you can't have it check every hour or something, but it might be possible to look into writing a script to do just that. But I'd be wary of any script like that, personally, because it would always have the possibility of easily becoming an unending loop of checking, or just slow your computer down horribly. But on the other hand, if written correctly, it might work really well.

I want a refund on all movies/shows purchased from iTunes

None of the shows are watchable. The video and the audio are out of sync. I have scoured through the online help and tried multiple solutions. The bottom line is that this problem has existed for years and years. I cannot support Apple as a movie/show consumer given these circumstances and ongoing problems. I will shift to your competitors. Some of my purchases were on gift cards, Please reinstate the balance and I will use those funds for songs. Any purchases against my credit card need to be reversed.
Good luck with your problem.

Video or Movie files added to iTunes are copied to ATV

Whenever I drag and drop files into my iTunes Library it always automatically copies to my Apple TV too. I haven't been able to figure out why its doing that and how I can stop it. I don't want everything meant to be on my iPod to be on my ATV. I only notice this with movies or other videos I bring into iTunes. I have control over my music via playlists. Here's another example. I have a BluRay DVD with the Digital copy disc. I set it up so I can watch the movie on my iPod and a few minutes later I see the movie being copied over to my ATV! I have SYNC movies checked in the ATV menu. Should I uncheck that box and if so will that allow me to manually sync what I want on my ATV?

If it's AppleTV1 then change to Custom sync, then manually select the movies to sync.

Itunes no longer syncs new tv shows to my iphone4 after 10.5.1.42 update

I just did the itunes update to version 10.5.1.42, and now when I try to synch with my iphone4, it will NOT copy any of my new TV shows from my itunes into the phone.
I'm on a PC, using windows 7, 32 bit.
I have never had a problem like this before -- I download tv shows to itunes and then synch them to my phone all the time. I have all the settings checked the same as before. The synch process appears to work successfully, but it never actually transfers the shows, and when I go to look at the videos on my phone, none of the "new" ones are there.
The only "work around" I can find is to download straight to my phone from the cloud. That is a major hassle for me, as the wifi currently available to me (at work) is super slow and would take well over an hour just to download one show. Not to mention I shouldn't have to do that.
is there any fix for this? Can I roll back my itunes to the previous version that worked just fine?

Finally, I had time to do a on-line support session with the Apple Care help people (excellent). We went through and verified a lot of things. Finally, he had me run the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions". That resolved things and it works now.
Also related is that the iOS 7.1 update installed a lot of stuff on the iPhone - including iMovie, Numbers, Pages, Keynotes - stuff that I will use on the iPad but not on the iPhone. The result of automatically installing all these things on the iPhone was to but it way over the limit on memory. I deselected thos apps (and a few others) plus some movies and am now below the memory limit on the iPhone.
Things are now working well with both the iPhone and iPad - both syncing correctly. So, with that, I will close out this case.

Apple TV loses movies after syncing from iTunes

I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this: I bought ATV a few weeks ago and have a movie on iTunes on my iMac that I want to sync to ATV. I click on the sync button, and the sync process starts.....and the sync process finishes.....perfect, you'd think. It appears on ATV under "My Movies" with not problems. And then I shut down iTunes on my computer, at which point the movie disappears from the "My Movies" section in ATV.
Looking more closely, it's clear on the bar in the sync window that the data hasn't copied across because the amount of data on the ATV relating to movies should have doubled, when it hasn't increased at all!
I've repeated this process 3 or 4 times - no luck. Movies bought from the iTunes store via the ATV sync to the computer perfectly.
My wireless network is via a time capsule set to N rather than B or G - does that affect anything?
Please can anyone help before my wife files for divorce? I'm beginning to think that the ATV might just prove to be one "little white box" too many for continued marital harmony!
Thanks.

OK I've done a LOAD more work on this and I think it's related to the port 3689 thing so many people are having problems with.
Photos and music sync fine. I don't have trouble finding ATV in the devices from iTunes. But still, every time I try to sync a movie from iTunes to ATV, it goes through the process with no substantive outcome. When I shut down the mac or just quit iTunes ATV has no movies.
One of the movies I'm trying to sync to ATV was one originally bought from the iTunes store via the ATV, so I am certain there are no movie compatibility issues.
I tried to do a custom sync also - which achieved nothing except to generate the port 3689 error. I can get rid of the 3689 error message by turning off the firewall - but that's not such a great achievement given that it still simply goes through this phantom sync process with no eventual outcome.
As I said, maddeningly, photos and music sync perfectly - the rainbow bar on the sync page almost instantly demonstrates new content on the ATV as soon as the process starts. It never does this when syncing a movie.
So. What now? At the moment I have an expensive white and grey brick and I am very very unhappy. I would take the whole lot back to the shop if it weren't for the "told you it was a waste of money" look I'll get from the wife!
For background, it's a wireless network running off a time capsule with one airport express as a bridge. No windows or pc rubbish in the house!
Does anyone from Apple read these posts? If so, what is being done to fix the problem - or are we all to be compensated appropriately for the time, effory and money spent?
Thanks.
Graeme.
