Adding Movies to Apple Tv via iTunes Problems !

Hello,
    I recently purchased an Apple TV,  I am trying to Rip some of my DVD's and put them into iTunes. I have done it with a few DVD's using Handbreak to convert the movies to the proper format and it worked great ! The problem is after doing this to a few movies, now my system is very slow, I keep getting the Spinning Ball in iTunes when I go into " Get Info " to change a few things ( Add Artwork or Clean up the title ) and then I have to force quit iTunes, because it stops responding, When I view my Activity Monitor, I see that " Kernel_task is using 837.9 MB of Memory and Handbreak is right behind with 656.3 MB of Memory.
    Other problems that I am having is when I put a movie in iTunes it either wont play at all, plays all black or plays with no sound, but if I open the file from my Desktop Quick Time will play it just fine ?
    I ran Disk Utility from the start up disk ( restart and use command R ) the disk was fine, but there was a lot of permissions that need to be repaired, which I did.
   iMac 2.7 w/ i5
    OSX 10.9.1
    12 GB Ram
    1T Mac Hd with 363 GB free
   1T external HD that I use for Time Machine with 17 GB Free.
    Apple TV 3
    iTunes 11.1.3
This is more of an iTunes question, but I am thinking maybe others who use ATV may have had a similar problem and found a fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
John

This is not an ATV problem and frankly is treading on very shakey if not illegal grounds.
Discussion of ripping DVDs is seriously frowned upon in these forums.
I would suggest looking elsewhere for issues with ripping.
For issues with importing media and getting it to work in iTunes, post to the appropriate forum.

  • I purchased a movie on apple tv (via itunes, I assume...). I clicked "download available purchases" on my pc, but it's not showing up. I don't have enought space on icloud to store the movie and I refuse to pay for more storage. Any ideas?

    I purchased a movie on apple tv. I then went to my pc and clicked "check for available downloads", but the movie is not there. I don't have enough storage to put the movie on icloud, and i refuse to pay for more storage to move something that i already paid for. any suggestions?

    It looks like the answer is to log out of iTunes and then back in.  That allowed Rentals to show up in my Movies Library.  I rebooted about three times which didn't work.  I closed the application and restarted it many times which didn't work.
    The solution was to log out of my username and then back in.  That worked.

  • Adding movies to apple tv form external disk

    I want to be able to add a movie to Itunes from my external disk and then to apple tv, without erasin what has been added in the past but is not in itunes any more.
    The memory in my computer is limited and my movies are all in a external disk. when I add a new movie to apple tv, the ones taht are allready on apple tv are erase automatically because I no longer have them in itunes.
    how do I add movies withour ersing?
    regards,
    Laura

    you need to keep pressing the option key on your keyboard while you drag & drop the content. do not release the option key until you are sure iTunes is just indexing the files. for example, when i add a music track in that fashion, iTunes says +analyzing volume+ ...
    another option would be to uncheck +copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library+ in preferences > advanced. now you could use the regular +add to library+ command from the file menu. you will just have to remember to re-enable this option when you want to add new content to your internal library.
    for movies already copied to the library, and which you want on the external:
    go preferences > advanced and point iTunes' location to the external. select the movies in iTunes and right-click on the selection. choose +consolidate selection+ from the pop-up menu. when the move is done, point iTunes' location back to the internal and make sure the movies where indeed copied to the external. if so, you can delete the duplicate movie files from the internal.

  • Cannot rent & buy a movie from Apple TV but no problem on MAC iTunes_ Security Code issue

    I cannot rent or buy movies from Apple TV while my credit card details are correct and exactly the same as on iTunes. I am getting a security code request it's 3 digits but doesn't go further unless i insert 4 digits... as a result I get an invalid security code error...

    When you view the main page on the Apple TV and select the movies option you should see the rental on the top shelf. There is also a rental section at the top of the page once you enter the movie section.

  • Aperture photos to iPhone via iTunes problem

    I have just created an Aperture 3 library, and am trying to put some photos on my iPhone via iTunes.
    In the Photos tab of iTunes, when I select Aperture the option to sync "selected albums" is greyed out...I can only select "all photos and albums".
    With the iPhoto selected I can chose "selected albums".
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Found the answer..."Selected Albums" option is not available until Aperture has finished building previews for the entire library.

  • Can I access playlists on my Apple TV via iTunes in the Cloud without iTunes Match?

    I'm wanting to know if I can access playlists that I create in iTunes on my PC on my Apple TV through iTunes in the Cloud. Is iTunes Match still required for accessing playlists even though I do not have any music in my iTunes library that has not been purchased from iTunes?

    No, as iTunes Match puts your full library in the cloud. Otherwise it is simply just the purchased music. The playlists reside in your local library.

  • Apple TV and iTunes problem - Different Twist

    I, too, can no longer get Apple TVs to show up in my iTunes device list.
    It DID work until last week when I downloaded two movies. They ATVs (three of them) got stuck in syncing, and were still "syncing" four days later. I quit the app, restarted it, and now all the ATVs are gone.
    The twist is, the ATVs DO show up on my MBP and another iMac on the same local network. Just not on my 27 inch iMac.
    I deleted (correctly and completely) iTunes and reinstalled - no success.
    I created a new (clean) user account - no success.
    I wiped the hard drive clean and reinstalled the software - no success.
    This HAS to be a hardware problem with the iMac.
    Any other ideas or observations or suggestions?

    Question: Do you mean you removed the AppleTv from the list in iTunes or the iTunes library from the list in AppleTV Settings>Computers?
    Answer: It disappeared from iTunes and couldn't be deleted. I disconnected/deleted from ATV's settings.
    OK, good that lets you add the new library to AppleTV
    Question: New user account on the computer or new iTunes account added to AppleTV?
    Answer: On the iMac. I AM able to connect another Mac's iTunes library to the ATV and sync it. I just can't add or sync THIS one.
    You can only sync a single library with AppleTV
    Therest are shared/streaming libraries.
    Question: Did you have to set them up in AppleTV again or were they sharing libraries always known to appleTV?
    Answer: They appeared in the other computers iTunes device lists, saying "Apple TV click to set up" - just as they do at this very minute.
    Ah ok, you haven't actually set them up on those machines.
    I would turn those off just in case they're interfering with the one you want to sync being allowed a slice of the cake.
    Question: If you'd factory restored AppleTV you would have to set these up again on AppleTV.
    Answer: I don't understand, but, making an assumption, when I reset the ATV, I downloaded the update, went to connect to the network, and that connection request was received by all Macs on the network (Apple TV click to set up) except the iMac.
    I've never had my other macs turned on when trying to add an AppleTV - it's possible they could be causing problems by catching the request for th e5 digit code before the reset computer.
    Question: Why both?
    Answer: Just for a belt and suspenders - I was troubleshooting.
    Question: Do you have 2 separate local networks? If they do not see each other this could be the problem - try both individually if you haven't.
    Answer: No, I have only one. And, the iMac can see the other computers, mount them, etc., and vice versa. The ONLY apparent network problem is the ATV/iTunes/iMac problem described here.
    I hope I am less confusing now?
    Yes, getting clearer!
    Do you have any kind of extra firewall/security software on the affected machine eg Little Snitch or something like that?
