Organizing TV Shows for AppleTV and iPad viewing (homeshare)

As our media collections grows we are trying to create the best storage methods for long term. Right now I am focusing on TV Shows, but would also like to apply whatever method we come up with to Movies with multiple films in the series (ex: Harry Potter, James Bond, Star Trek...). I am going to use NCIS as an example since I have 8 seasons of it. Right now, I see NCIS-Season 1, NCIS-Season 2, NCIS-Season 3, etc.... If we continue like this, our scrolling list on iPad and Apple TV is going to become slow to load and long to navigate as we have a lot of shows. It is already a little slow loading the icons on my iPad through my homeshare.
What I would like to see in my iPad and on my Apple TV is a single folder named NCIS.
After selecting that folder I would then like to see a list of subfolders that says Season 1, Season 2, 3, 4 etc...
Then I'd like to select the applicable Season and see the list of episodes.
So what I would like to know is if it is possible to organize using a Folder - Subfolder method, and if it is, how?
Option #2 - If it is not possible to use a Folder, Subfolder, method for viewing on AppleTV; then how about just having a folder named NCIS and when I click on that folder it opens to a list of all episodes?
I would still want to see the list to be in order by Season then Episode.

I was merely offering an explanation of why it might sync more items than the purchases you have made. It may of course be resyncing everything again, you should be able to tell from itunes whether it's simply syncing a whole bunch of new small files such as photos or tunes to fill a gap left by syncing a shorter tv show, or whether these files that are syncing are content that was already on there.

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad, I cannot get home sharing.

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad. I cannot get home sharing working, all settings are correct but nothing happens. I returned to the apple store who connected TV box directly to network with cable and home sharing worked between the 2 devices.
I went home and switched on, it worked (both on wifi). Next day tried again, thinking it was all there and nothing.
I tried the tips on the community pages without success. I called Apple helpline, they ran through all my settings which were correct, but still nothing, after 2/3 days they called me back to tell me to wait for Apple software update to solve this problem !!
is something happening on this issue, please can someone tell me. On my old Ipad I just used a Component cable, but this will not work with the new pad, I got the adaptor plug and nothing happens, no output.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd have to Agree, You checked on iTunes to make sure it was Turned on? Check your Router make sure it's working incase, cause sometimes it's the little Things that make it not work.

Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
Apple
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.
Regards.

Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Paul Gaydos

Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case. Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
thanks

Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

Where is the documentation for Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 ???

Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 was released on Tuesday Jan 14th 2014.
I see the 4 .cop files on cisco.com in a zip file copfiles_iOS96.zip. What is the difference between the 4 files? Application in the AppStore on my iPad, but there are no release notes, or documentation on cisco.com. All I can assume is that these .sgn files need to go on my Publisher/TFTP server?
Nothing here about a 9.6.1

I only see two COP files, one for iPhone (TCT) and one for iPad (TAB). These are required on older (can't believe I'm calling 8.6 older already!) builds of CUCM.
Which other files do you see?

Does there exist in Belgium voiceover training for imac and ipad for the visually impaired?

Does there exist in Belgium voiceover training for imac and ipad for the visually impaired?

I think that everything that he wants to do is very doable. It would be quite a project for someone to take on for him. If it is a popular hymnbook it may well be a welcome blessing/gift of love for many others as well if made available. As I would envision the project it would require either the sacrifice of a copy of the hymnal or the availability of a loose leaf version of the hymnal, so that the individual pages could be taken apart and scanned. The scanned pages could then be assembled into a pdf document that is easily readable on many apps available for the iPad. Better still would be to research if the publishers of the hymnal have not already created an electronic version of the book in pdf format. If the publisher has not already crossed this bridge, then their permission would legally need to be secured before starting such a project of copying their compilation of hymns. Even though they may not own the rights to an old hymn which is now in the public domain, they hold the rights to the layout and composition of the printed pages of their hymnal.
The Accessibilty settings in the iPad itself is capable of enlarging text for the visually impaired, as well as providing white text on a black background.

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?

After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).

Have you tried re-booting your WiFi router ? It may seem OK on your PC, but a re-boot may help.

If i buy Pages, Keynote, or Numbers do i have to buy for MAC and iPad??

if i buy Pages, Keynote, or Numbers do i have to buy for MAC and iPad??

Hi Rico,
If you want the apps on both of them, then yes. Mac apps and IOS apps are separate animals, so unlike purchasing an app for an iPhone and having it available for your iPad (because they are both IOS devices), you need both the IOS version and the OSX version in order to run them on both your iPad and your Mac.
Cheers,
GB

Tina,
I would go crazy if this was me. You may find this interesting from the customer agreement (to see full agreement go here:Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless):
"HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."
This may help you also: Arbitration and Mediation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
You can dispute any charges by doing an Arbitration or Mediation. I have never done it, so I can not help much there but this all may get you started.
Let me know if any of this works! Good Luck! Please keep me updated. I really hope they help you.

How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.
