1st Gen iPad doesn't show movies imported from iTunes

When connected to iTunes the iPad shows that they're in there, but when we look on the iPad in the Videos.app there's no movies. The option is not even there. They all work fine in VLC, but that's without metadata, so it's not ideal. We have restored the software twice, from two different backups but this didn't solve the problem. Thanks for your assistance.

This my "stock" answer for this issue and I'm sure that you have tried the first thing, but take look at the second suggestion and see if that works for you.
Quit the video app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the video app icon to close it. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try the app again and see if the movie is there and will play.
If that didn't work - Search for the movie. From the home screen swipe to the right and the Spotlight Search feature will appear. Type the name of the movie in the field at the top, if the movie shows up in the search, tap on the icon and hopefully it will begin to play. Let it play for a few minutes then tap Done. Return to the video app and see if it is in there now.

My 1st gen iPad doesn't give me the option to add a tel. Number to iMessage! Why?

How do I fix this issue?

The normal way an iPad uses Messages is through an email address because iPad is not a phone and cannot use phone numbers.
However, if you also have an iPhone, you can associate the iPhone with the same Apple ID as the iPad, and you will get the option of adding the iPhone phone number to your receiving information. This way, if someone messages you using your iPhone phone number OR email address, you will receive that message on both your iPHone and iPad.

Aperture doesn't show video imported from Canon 5D Mk 3

When I'm importing video to Aperture 3 from Canon 5D Mk 3, the files show up in Aperture with black screen. Sound is OK and the duration is unchanged but there's no image. In Finder, Quicktime and for example After Effects the video shows up normally so I can convert it to other formats, but that way it's more complicated than it should be.
Also, when using Compressor to convert the files the end result is the same. Haven't tried to import the videos to Final Cut Pro X yet... Has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to fix this? I tried to import a file to my girlfriend's Aperture 3 and it worked normally there.

Thanks, but can you elaborate as I'm new to both video and FCE. What are the item property of the clips versus in the sequence, can you advise me what settings to use, how can I find these properties? any info will help
Cheers

Trying to import email files but Thunderbird doesn't show any "import from" choices when Outlook 2007 is my default email program

Have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, no change. Am going by the how-to article that says "In order to import messages from Outlook to Thunderbird, Outlook must be the default mail client."
After all this, I will have to move the files from a Windows 7 machine to a new Windows 8 machine which will not have any Office programs on it.

Shared Library not sharing certain movies or tv shows to 1st Gen iPad

I purchased Blu-Ray's that included the digital copy feature for a couple of movies including The Lord of the Rings, as well as Transformers 2. I was successfully able to regiser the movies in iTunes, download them, and they play them fine directly on the Mac where I downloaded them to.
I use the Shared Libraries feature to allow my iPhone 4S as well as a 1st generation iPad, and a 13' Macbook Air to access content stored on the Mac where I downloaded the movies in question. The movies can be played fine via Shared Libraries on the iPhone 4s, the Macbook Air, but they are not even displayed in the Shared Libraries on the iPad. When I browse on the iPad, the movies do not appear in the library. However what is very odd is that other movies that I have purchased directly from iTunes do show up on the iPad - for example I bought Disney's Cars directly from the the iTunes store, and this one shows up fine on the iPad. I'm seeing this same content for several videos that shows up as "TV Shows" but don't display at all on the iPad.
A few technical details:
The movies were downloaded using iTunes version 10.6.1 (7) to a 2012 Mac Mini running the Intel Core i7 CPU.
OSX 10.7.4 is installed on the Mac
iOS 5.1.1 is installed on the 1st Gen iPad and on the iPhone 4s
I find it quite odd that the videos play on every Apple device I own, and even a PC that is using the Shared Library but not on the 1st Gen Ipad.
Any ideas?

Mmmm....OK, just deleted a movie that was already there, and the ones I imported suddenly appeared. And started to download a TV series from the iTunes store, and the imported ones appeared too....no idea what was going on, but all is how I want it now...iTunes must have got it's knickers in a twist!!

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

After being connectred to a charging source overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account. Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv? is there a way to get them there?

Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
*Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.

If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

1st Gen iPad, can't restore on any computer

I was given a 1st gen 16Gb wifi ipad at work.
The ipad was functioning and I decided to restore to factory settings to clear our all the prior users info and be able to sync to my iTunes.
Seemed to be going well enough until I got to the screen that shows the USB cable with the arrow to iTunes...
now I can't detect the iPad on any computer so I can't complete the restore.
I've tried my late 2011 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion fully updated, my 2007 Mac mini with Lion, my family PC with windows 7, and my work PC with windows 7. None of them detect the iPad being connected... the PC's don't show the device in "my computer" and iTunes on the Macs don't show the device.
All of the above machines can detect my iPhone, no problem.
I've tried 6 different cables of varying ages.
The iPad doesn't even make the connection bleep noise when plugged into a computer.. it does when plugged into a charger.
I charged it to 100% with the original 10 W charger.
I've gone through all the different techniques of holding buttons and such, but the bottom line seems to be I just cannot connect to a computer.
Could the prior owner have it so it can only connect to his computer and I'll have to restore from that machine?
Thanks for reading. I look forward to any further advice before making an appointement at the Apple Store.

I had the same problem with my 1st gen iPad,(my iPad would not power up even when connected to the charger) I held down the home and reset button and "voila" my iPad powered up. I hope this helps someone in the same predicament
1st gen iPad won't power on, even when connected to the wall charger. Help, please!

MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either. Can someone help me with this? Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over? Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

1st gen iPod touch not showing in iTunes 10.6

Hi
though it was about time to update my music on my 1st gen iPod Touch, however, when i connected it to iTunes it does not show up.
Is anyone able to assist?
I have tried hard resets and it doesn't work.
Have Apple stopped supporting the 1st gen Touch?
Regards

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.
