Adding release dates on TV shows

hi everyone
im trying to figure out how to add release date info of the episodes in my tv shows on the new itunes. if i right click on an episode and click get info i cant seem to find anywahere in the tabs where i can write in its release date
thankyou

I read your post earlier when I was searching around for the same thing and felt like coming back to share the knowledge I've gained.
I found a program called videotag, which alters release dates and all other tags supported by itunes video (so far as I can tell). You can find it here:

This was all I could find, but it does the job fine (tested and verified in itunes and on ipod classic).

Does the Music Store have a place for release dates on TV shows and videos?

Just wondering if they will have any idea when they will get new episodes of various shows they carry.I have heard it takes 24 hours for them to get them but I have come across about five shows that have episodes that are well over 72 hours and still not released.
Do they have a guide for release dates?Or a website that shows when they will carry certain episodes of shows?

yeah, you're right. I got an email yesturday from iTunes stating pretty much just that. I complained that they weren't getting my SG1 and SGA shows up on time. Anyway, I was an idiot for blasting them. We pay iTunes bills...not some advertisers...so they will deff get the shows out to us when they get them from the studios. Moreover, the email stated that they'll let sci fi (i'm assuming that's the network we're talking about here?) know to send those recent epps. BTW, I also posted this info on the sci fi board.

Change Release Date of TV Shows

i have the band of brothers mini series, and i'm trying to change the release date of them, but itunes won't let me. Any help??

Worked great! I chose to rename the original TV show mp4 video file with the new release date information, but I had to manually change the "video type" back to TV Show to keep it organized.
Thanks for the major tip!

Adding Release Date and Descriptions to Video

I've been reading in other threads in 5G iPod that there is no way to put the release date to videos you've done. For instance, I downloaded to my computer The Office episode using 3rd party software, converted to ipod Mp4 and in the "GET INFO" section there is no place to add the "Release Date" and Descriptions on the Video, but if you download videos from iTunes it adds this info.
Anyone been able to do this and if so, using a 3rd party application, what did you use. TIA

Wouldn't this question be more appropriate for the iTunes forum? Since you don't edit info like that directly on your iPod nano, I might suggest you post your question in the iTunes forum. I can confirm that with iTunes, 7.4, for the Mac, I can see a "Release Date" but I can't find any option to change it.

TV Show Release Dates

Is there a way to edit a tv show's release date in itunes so 'unknown release date' doesn't show up on your ipod? It shows up under the episode's title on the ipod. The shows were ripped from my DVDs but I cannot enter this information or even stop 'unknown release date' from showing.
i have a 120G ipod classic
when you right click and look in the episodes info there is a place to enter the year, but not the date. entering the year does not fix this problem. i'd like to be able to do it without having to download another program.

Sorry. I was making a suggestion that you look with google.
Without going into details -- how is this related to Apple computers and getting online and networking?
Perhaps someone on the discussions at abc will have something for you.

Podcast episode "Release date" problem

on iTunes podcast screen some of "A state of trance" episodes shiw the release date is 1/1/2001 but when i choose "get info" it shows the correct date for some but for another episodes it is showing "1/1/1904"!!! please help how to solve this so it shows the correct release date inorder to get the episodes sorted correctly

I assume you mean this podcast?
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/state-trance-official-podcast/id260190086?mt =2
(not one you've created yourself). The publishing date shows correctly in the iTunes Store and in iTunes when subscribing, but if you Get Info the 'Puchase date' is 1-1-04 - this is a default date because no date has been set. As you haven't actually purchased the episode it's irrelevant (it shows the purchased date on songs bought in the Store).
So where in iTunes are you seeing this? Are you using 'List' view or 'My Podcasts' view? The latter shows the release date, taken from the feed; in List view the Release Date column will show the correct date, but if you have the Purchased Date column enabled in View>Show View Options that will show the 1-1-04 date.

PR Release date in ME5A

Hi,
In ME5A (List Scope 'A'), system is showing PR Release date same as delivery date. E.g., If delivery date given in PR is 31.10.2009, then Release date is also showing as 31.10.2009.
This is happening even for PRs which are not released.
Can any one suggest the solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi Chand

Dear,
The Release date showing in PR is not the Purchase requsition released for further processing. It represents the :
Purchase Requisition Release Date
     Specifies the date on which the purchase order should be initiated on
     the basis of the purchase requisition.
     The release date is based on:
     o   The purchasing department processing time defined for the plant
     o   The planned delivery time from the material master record or
         purchasing info record
     o   The delivery date
     o   The goods receipt processing time from the material master record
     Note
         The planned delivery time from the purchasing info record and the GR
         processing time are only taken into account if the purchase
         requisition was generated via materials planning.
Example
         Processing time   Planned del.   GR processing
            Purchasing         time           time
     Release       PO                  Delivery    Date
      date        date                   date    required
     Date required:                     01.10.2007
     GR processing time:                 2 days (working days)
     Planned delivery time:             10 days (calendar days)
     Purchasing dept processing time:    2 days (working days)
     For the material to be available on the date it is needed, the purchase
     requisition must be released on 13.09.2007 (requirement date less GR
     processing time, planned delivery time, and purchasing department
     processing time).

Syed Hussain.

Cheating the Released date in order to be listed on top

My book is in the iBookstore, just released this week. But if you search by "Released Date", it doesnt show up in the first 100 listings. The first 100+ listings are publishers who are cheating the release date, putting things like January 5, 2025, or several December 2013 or 2014 dates in order to show up at the top of the list. I have emailed itunesconnect about this, but no answer so far.

And how is the phone supposed to know if it's you or a thief pressing the Sleep/Wake Button and sliding to power off?
You want a passcode required to power off the device? So... what if you forget your password? What then?

Where is sort by Release Date in Smart Playlists

I use smart playlists to select and control what podcasts goto my ipod as the standard podcasting sync controls are pretty lame. Where is the order by release date colum? (show colum option) so why is this not included as an option?
Oh and as a hint I'm sure lots have seen if you hold down the control key while selecting a podcast it will pull back deleted podcasts...

Sorry, I was looking under Podcasts, not at a smart playlist.
The release date is not part of the ID3 tags. It is read from the RSS server when the podcast is downloaded.
I suggest sending feedback to Apple here ->http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will do also as I think this is a very good idea.

How do I manipulate the release date in my iTunes TV shows that I have downloaded myself?

Is there anyway to do this?

As far as I know you can't change a TV programme's release date, I think that it's a protected field

Best way to show movie release date by year under "Movies" section

I am a proud owner of a new 2nd gen Apple TV. It does everything I hoped. I am using IDentity 2 to capture the movie Metadata and import into a new m4v file. All data is trnsferred into iTunes. The question: What is the best way to have the release year show in Apple TV? I currently have a description, actor, director, time, etc showing. The Metadata is taken from IMDB, so the release date is listed in the video description when I "get info" in iTunes. As you can imagine, I don't want to manually input the release year in every movie file name. Any suggestions?

No asnswer. I can't find an answer on the web either. How many more years till Apple fixes this?

App store ratings are gone? Just shows release date.

Ok I went in the app store and it's only showing the date the app was released and no stars like always and it's not showing how many ratings under the app just the release date. I went on my iPhone and it shows star ratings and how many users rated.
Is it just my ipad or is something weird happening or a update or what.
Please let me know guys if this is happening on your ipad.
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.5.8)

can anyone look at the app store and let me know if you see star ratings and how many users rated in top charts because it just shows me release date..
thanks so much

When you show all albums, why can you only sort albums by best sellers, release date, etc., sometimes?

Sometimes I can sort albums by release date and other times I don't have the option. Its frustrating. I tried to look in preferences but couldn't change it.

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

I appreciate Albums showing in order of release date

i like that in the new version of iTunes (11.0.1), Albums show in order of release date (in Artist view).
This makes it convenient to listen to the progression of a musician or singer through time; i enjoy it
Thank You Apple.

Just downloaded iOS 7.1 last night and noticed the same exact thing....I have my entire library arranged by release date and used to be able to start at the first album and play through a bands entire catalogue. Aggravated to say the least.

How do I change the release date on a TV show in iTunes release 12?

Every show and movie that I bought gives a date of 12/31/1903 on the description page and in each individual info page it shows 6/5/05. This ***** if you want to sort by date.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Daniel Reilly,
I understand that your TV show episodes may be showing an incorrect release date. I would like to recommend that you report an issue with these purchases using this link:
