How do i add a computer to my itunes movies

How can I add another computer to watch my iTunes movies?

Are you referring to authorizing a computer for your account? If so, using the menu in iTunes, go to Store, Authorize this computer. See this support document. Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support

Why are the subtitles doubled on iTunes movie purchases?

I just bought The Avengers and we've noticed the subtitles (for the parts where people are speaking another language) are doubled on top of each other. It looks like they are part of the movie (as expected) and it looks like the AppleTV is putting them on top of that in a shaded bar across the bottom. I've double checked my settings and Subtitles are turned off, so I wouldn't expect to see them. How do I turn this off?

Summary: Basically whomever put this movie package together screwed up and you can't do anything about it.
Detailed:
There are 3 typical ways to show subtitles.
1. Embedded/Overlay text on the video track
2. Forced subtitle track
3. Regular subtitle track
Normally they would use either method 1 or 2 but it is wrong to do both. However, it is a Catch-22 problem.
- If only method 1 is used, the subtitles are always shown even if you didn't enable subtitles or your video player doesn't support subtitle tracks. (However, they might not be in your language)
- If only method 2 is used, and your video player didn't support subtitles then you wouldn't get any subtitles. If it does support them, which the AppleTV does, then it will always show them regardless of your "Subtitles Enabled/Disabled" setting.
It seems that this movie uses both methods 1 and 2 which is why you see duplicated subtitles.
Method 3 is the track you can control from the Subtitles menu. If you enable the subtitles, it will show them for all the speaking parts, not just the Russian in this scene.
I hope this help you to understand what is going on but unfortunately there isn't a [legal] way to fix this.

Add .srt subtitles

I'd like to add .srt subtitles to a .avi movie. Anyone know how to convert .srt to a Premiere Elements compatible format? .. or would Encore be a better way to go?

Steve,
Encore can work with true Sub-Titles (and also Closed Caption, which is similar, though different), and can use most common Sub-Title text formats.
For specific Encore questions, including Sub-Titles, the Encore Forum is a great place.
Good luck,
Hunt

Itunes: Movies, TV shows, will Apple be legally required to add subtitles?

Subject says it all. Obama recently signed a Technology Access Bill For Disabled. As an individual with a lifelong severe hearing loss, here's hoping that this will finally force Apple into supporting the deaf community through supplying subtitles with all their movie and TV purchases/rentals.

Any thoughts?

Chris - all the material supplied by contents providers nearly always do have subtitles already from TV and DVD broadcasts.
That these content providers are unable to supply this from iTunes 99% of the time, suggests that Apple's own system is the blocking point and they need to address this pretty soon or lose their market position.
There are nearly 5 million hits on Google about Apple's failure to provide this so the demand is clearly there. I hope they dont ignore it.

Can't add artwork to itunes movies

Hi,
I am using Video Converter Ultimate to load my dvd collection in iTunes movies. The converter output is .m4v file. When I add artwork to the "Artwork" tab of the Get Info box It will add but then I get a spinning colored ball and I must force quit iTunes. When I reopen the move in iTunes the movie will not play. The move is there but when playing the movie it is black (no video will play). Any suggestions?
Thank you
VPH

The Movies are M2V formated, and have AC3 Audio (Have an AC3 Plugin' and Have Apples MPEG 2 component). So please can anyone help me get Artwork to my Movie in iTunes?
Sorry to say, it is not possible in this case. The ability to add/contain graphic "artwork" in iTunes is a property of the file container here. M4V and MP4 containers, for instance, can contain one such independent graphic. On the other hand, an MOV (assume you saved your M2V/AC3 data as an MOV) file cannot. On the other hand, your MOV file can have a "poster frame." If you are not a "purist," you can get around this problem by simply adding/drag 'n dropping your graphic to an appropriate point in your MOV file (I would recommend the end of the file), setting it as your "poster frame," and saving the file. In iTunes, this "poster frame" will now show up in your "artwork" display locations. (PS -- this is on a separate track as you attempted to do. In QT Pro, pre-position playhead to end of file and add JPEG track last so its layer is above main movie layer.)

Why cant I add my old iTunes movies into iTunes 10.5

After upgrading my computer for Windows XP to Windows 7 I reloaded iTunes 10.5. Why can't I import my old iTunes movies to my new iTunes movie library? I've tried everything the tutorial instructed me to do. What now?

I can set the ipod up to play my library, start a song and the plug in usb cable. As long as I dont try to cahnge songs it will play all the way through my song list .If i try to change songs it will revert to those same 10 songs. Something is blocking it from playing what ever i choose in the song library. Could it be that the stereo is not compatible to the i touch? Iam totally puzzled.

How to add chapters to exported Apple TV movies

(The process works with QuickTime 7.4 and Final Cut Express 4.0)
To add chapters to movies exported from FCE using the "Apple TV" preset in the Export menu:
In a text editor, like TextEdit in the Applications folder, type your list of chapters.
Make each item very short (preferably one word but no more than two or three words) and separate each item with a carriage return.
Choose Format/Make Plain Text.
Save the document as plain text.
In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open File, select the text file, and click Open.
Choose File > Export. In the Export pop-up menu, choose "Text to Text." In the Use pop-up menu, choose "Text with Descriptors."
Click Options. In the Text Export Settings dialog, select "Show Text, Descriptors, and Time"; select "Show time relative to start of Movie"; and set fractions of seconds to 1/30.
(The fractions really don't matter, we will change the value later)
Click OK, then click Save to create a text file with descriptors.
Open the exported list in your text editor, and open the target movie (formatted for Apple TV) in QuickTime Player.
Choose Window > Show Movie Inspector.
In QuickTime Player, drag the playhead on the timeline to find the first point in the movie where you want to begin a new chapter.
Use the Right and Left Arrow keys to step forward or backward a frame at a time as needed. Note the current time in the Inspector window.
In the text file, find the timeScale attribute and change to 24.46.
Next, find the first chapter title and change the timestamp just before that chapter title to the time you noted in the Inspector window.
Example: For a chapter called "one" that starts at 4 seconds, 21 frames into the movie, you would revise the text to look like this:
(00:00:04.21)
*{textBox: 0, 0, 50, 160}one*
Ignore the textBox attribute.
Repeat steps until you've identified all the places in the movie that correspond to the chapter divisions and you've entered the proper timestamps in the text file.
Change the last timestamp (the one after the last chapter title in the text file) to match the duration of the movie.
Save the text file.
Open the text file in QuickTime Player.
Choose Edit > Select All, choose Edit > Copy.
Click in the target movie, make sure the playhead is at the beginning, choose Edit > "Add to Movie"
QuickTime adds the text track to the movie.
Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
In the Properties window, select the video or audio track you want to associate with the chapter track, and click Other Settings.
Normally you would choose the main video track.
(alternatively, choose audio track from the Chapters pop-up menu. If you have a movie with alternate subtitle or sound tracks, you can create multiple chapter lists in different languages and set the appropriate subtitle or sound track as the owner of each chapter list. The chapter list will change to match the selected language.)
Select the text track.
Deselect the check box for the text track so that it doesn't display on top of the video.
The new track will still function as a chapter track.
Save the movie as a self-contained movie.
In the Finder, drag the movie to iTunes, and then Sync to Apple TV. The movie will play in Apple TV with Chapters!

Thanks for explaining that in detail Mike.

How can I move my iTunes movies from my computer to an external hard drive? After I copy them to the drive, do I just delete them from my computer? How will I be able to watch them again?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air (July 2013) with the latest Mavericks OS X. I also have the lastest version of iTunes.
My computer has very little memory left, so I wanted to free some up. When I looked, movies were taking up a considerable amount of space. I want to move them from my computer, but still be able to watch them if I want to later. I haven't purchased an external drive yet, because I didn't know what size to get. I also have a lot of Photoshop files that are taking up a lot of memory, so I might put some of those on too. Would you recommend a 1 TB one or bigger?
Can you take me through the exact process of moving my iTunes movies to the external drive? I understand where to find the files (My Name<Music<iTunes Media<Movies), but am stuck from there. Do I simply drag them to the external drive and then delete them? Will this delete them from my iTunes library? How will I go about watching them again? I assumed that I would just plug the external hard drive in, click in the movie and watch. Is it this simple? I only want to move my movies, otherwise I would follow tutorials for backing up the library. Once you back up the movies, can you delete them from your computer?
Thanks,
Molly

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

How can I move my itunes movies from my iMac to my mac mini which is serving as a media server attached to HDTV?

I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download. Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?

I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

Is it possible to add a new language in a movie?

Thats for helping me and merry christmas!

If you have CS6 you need to update to 13.0.2, a recent update.
Why do my images appear smaller on my Retina enabled Mac after installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update?
Retina displays use a higher pixel density than a normal monitor. The individual display pixels are approximately one half the size of previous devices. While working in Photoshop before installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update, as with any other non-Retina optimized application, the number of pixels used is doubled to give a normal, non-miniaturized appearance. This can cause applications to be slightly blurred or pixilated. Thus, when viewing images in Photoshop, the zoom level is effectively double whatever is displayed. At 100% zoom, the image is displayed so that every one image pixel is shown with four display pixels, the same as viewing the image at 200%. With the 13.1/13.0.2 update, Photoshop now displays natively on Retina screens, meaning that image pixels now appear at the much smaller Retina size, thus reducing the amount of screen space they take up when viewed at 100%
