AirPlay, iPhone 4 and TV Shows

Ok, I finally updated to 4.3. My main interest is in an updated AirPlay. I'm glad I can FINALLY AirPlay videos I shot with the iPhone 4 to my apple tv!
Issues I've noted:
The new iPod "sharing" does not see any tv shows I've added unless they were purchased from iTunes. I have a large collection of tv shows which were converted into mp4 from my DVDs via handbrake. All of those tv shows can be played via my apple tv (2nd gen) but not the iPhone 4. That is stupid! Strangely the same is not true for movies. I can see/play all of my movies. Either purchased from iTunes or handbraked mp4s.
Also, this AirPlay update leaves my iOS devices with the same limitation (when using AirPlay) that the apple tv has with regard to audiobooks. It will only see/play audiobooks either purchased from iTunes or .m4b files created from CDs. Neither sees the almost 300 audiobooks I own via audible.com even though iTunes can see and play all of them. Again, this is stupid.
All in all, this is a nice improvement to AirPlay but more work is needed to let all of my iOS devices see/play EVERYTHING on my iTunes.
Any idea how to make it work like it should?

I can connect my phone to the TV and view the Netflix and iPod apps without issues (so far).

  • Songs I purchased in iTunes, after syncing with my iPhone and iPad, show up in the library and playlist on the computer. They are in the songs lists on both devices but do not actually transfer to the playlist on either though the computer says they have.

    I purchased four songs in iTunes, downloaded them, then did a sync with both my iPhone and iPad.  All songs show up in the libraries of both devices. I then added these songs to a playlist on the computer then synced both devices again.  According to iTunes on the computer, all four songs are in the playlists on both devices.  However, on the actual devices, only two of the four are in the playlists.  All four are still showing up in the library.  I created another playlist specifically for these four songs to see what would happend, dragged them to the playlist on the computer, then did another sync.  Once again, according to the computer, all the songs are in the playlists on the devices.  However, only two of the four are actually in the playlists on the phone and iPad. Any ideas what's going on?

    Lynn,
    I had a very similar issue (same playlist).  After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my  playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button).  To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly.  Good Luck.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and it shows up the apple and nothing is working. What can I do ?

    My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and now my iphone displays the apple and I can't use it. What can I do ?

    First, try to do a hard reset of your phone. (Hold down the Home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for about 10 seconds. When the screen flashes and the Apple appears again, release the buttons.)
    If that doesn't work, then you may have to put your phone in restore mode.
    Power off your phone and disconnect it from the USB cable.
    Close iTunes.
    Then press and hold the Home button and while keeping the Home button pressed down, connect the phone to the USB cable.
    Continue to hold the Home button pressed down. 
    After a few seconds, you should see the display prompt you to connect to iTunes.
    After that, you should be able to restore your phone from iTunes.

  • The iphone and itunes shows a short version of a voice memo instead of full. only by pushing edit i see the whole thing. how can i see and export the full thing?

    I recorded a voice memo but in itunes and also in iphone i can see only a hort version of my record. if i push edit, it shows the whole thing. How can i export the whole thing and listhen to it ? It only plays the 3.5 minutes instead of 35 minutes...
    Please help ... it is a really inmportant record of a doctors.

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • Resetting my iphone and keeps showing vaerification failed message

    When trying to log out of icloud to restore my phone since it has been being weird. it asks me to turn off Find my iPhone. I log in to my iCloud account but then it says Verification Failed certificate for this server is invalid.

Also it won't let me update my phone. Please try again later a message says. same message shows when i try to reset my phone.Help please

    Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and make sure Set Automatically is turned on.  If the date and/or time are incorrect, turn it off and set them manually.

  • Calendar items added on iPhone don't show in Outlook

    There are four different color calendars showing on my iPhone 3GS. The items I add from my work PC on my Outlook calendar are blue. The items I add to my calendar on the iPhone are red. The red items do not show on my Outlook calendar. I've tried showing only the blue calendar, and adding the item on my iPhone, but it defaults back to the red calendar. How can I get appointments I add from my iPhone to show on my Outlook calendar?

    Thank you! I had done a search but didn't find that earlier thread. The calendar items posted from my PC were blue, so I switched my default calendar to the blue calendar. I added a calendar item on my iPhone and it showed up on my calendar as blue. Before it was showing up as red. I'm sure this will be in my Outlook calendar on Monday.

  • Why did my AirPlay disappear from my iphone and macbook when trying to stream to Apple TV?

    I have the newest gen Apple TV.  I got it mainly to airplay from and mirror from my ios devices, and macbook.  I soon learned that mirroring was not available as the have the last gen macbook, but that i could airplay using home sharing for everything in my itunes library including directly from my iphone running 6.0.1. I was enjoying that function most of all and then all of a sudden, it's just gone.  The AirPlay icon is gone from my phone, and my apple tv no longer reads my macbook running latest version of mtn lion. 
    On the Apple TV, it keeps telling me to turn home sharing on, which it already is. 
    My Apple Tv is running the latest version.  I have the latest version of mtn lion, as well as ios6.  I am on the same network on all devices - did a test - test came back positive the tv is able to run apps successfully.  Reset all devices, restarted all devices. 
    Is there a fix for this?  There should be no reason why it's not functioning.  Please help.

    A guess:
    Put your mouse on the word RECENT in the left hand pane. Then when the word 'Show' appears, click on it.

  • Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    I have the same problem with podcast playlists.  When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone.  I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store.  They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
    Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?
