Any iTunes TV Shows 16x9?
Hi there,
I'm interested in purchasing an AppleTV, but I want to know if any iTunes TV Shows are 16x9 -- the ones I've downloaded to date are 4x3, so I assume that when played on AppleTV, there will be black bars on the sides of the TV Content.
Anyone know about any 16x9 iTunes TV Shows?
usually when you get a movie that's in widescreen format, it's really sending a 4x3 picture. most widescreen tv's are smart enough to recognize the black bars on the top and bottom for what they are, and chop them off. the itunes website says that everything on it is 640x480. so i would assume that means even those movies you say are widescreen, are actually 4x3.
so i would say no, there are no widescreen tv shows. unless maybe the show was originally aired in widescreen format (which i doubt), then maybe the 4x3 video that you download would have the horizontal bars that your tv can chop off.
i bet itunes will have an option to download a show in 4x3 or 16x9 in the future. the far future.
keep in mind i've made nothing but assumptions here. except for the part about the itunes website saying everything is 640x480 (4x3). if you open the video in quicktime, it won't chop off any bars and you can know for sure if you're movies are truly widescreen.
hope this helps!

The location for my music folders in itunes is showing correctly (E:\itunes\iTunes Media) but none of the songs are showing in my itunes library. Would be extremely grateful for any suggestions
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hello, joegoducks.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Why isn't my restored iTunes library showing ANY of my music?
I've recently built a new computer, and after installing iTunes and choosing my existing library (which has ALWAYS been on my external HD, not simply copied over), absolutely NOTHING is showing up.
My iTunes library, including all of the iTunes created folders are all on my external HD, along with all of the media files themselves (in their own folders), which is where they have always been. If I plug this HD back into my old computer I can boot up iTunes, no problem, and all of my stuff is there.
I've dug around support forums and followed everything I've found. I've set the path of the iTunes media folder in the advanced options to point to the same folder as the old computer, and triple checked to make sure the drive letter and everything is the same. I've started iTunes while holding 'shift', and selected the iTunes library file in that folder. I've even tried choosing the "previous iTunes library" files, to no avail. iTunes simply shows the music screen you would get with a fresh install and no library.
How do I fix this? My library contained thousands upon thousands of songs, and was immaculately organized, correcting hundreds of tagging errors in the original files themselves (which mostly predated my iPod or iTunes, spanning back fifteen years or so, before I knew much about file organization). I have no desire to redo the entire thing from scratch.
Any and all help is appreciated.It would seem your media folder is on the external drive, but your library database remains on the original computer. See make a split library portable.

Ok. When I synced today at 5:10PM, it backed up. Somehow, that sync deleted Garageband and all it's data (like the song I've been working on for a month), presumably because it was updated today. Before I realized this, I had synced again (10:02 pm). So iTunes only shows me THAT backup. I can see a bunch of files from the 5:10 backup. Apple told me that you, Obi-wan, the community, are pretty much my only hope. Have one of you guys (or gals) figured out how to do this?
Turn the quarks of a backup into the atoms of a backup?sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

after upgrades, suddenly no music is on or can be synched to the iPhone. It is all there on my computer but cannot get it to synch back. I tried copying over older itl fils t no avail.
If I click on music under the iPhone icon within iTunes, it shows on a dozen or so voice memos. (also shows them under "Voice memos").
Itunes version is 11.0.3 (42)
Any suggestions?From the requirements point of view, you can happily move to iOS 6. From the user tranquility pov, it's a crapshoot. Remember that MILLIONS of iDevices have been sold, a couple of those just this past Xmas season and hence all with iOS 6 preinstalled. "Many complain in the forums" is a number that ranges in the 10's or 100's: i.e., a minuscule amount of the total devices out there. And. of course, nobody comes here to gush excitedly about how well his iGadget works; everybody here (save those of us regular users who attempt to help, we're not Apple employees) has a gripe, grumble or complaint.
I can tell you from personal experience that my i5 with iOS 6.1.4 works as desired. All my colleagues' iPhones with iOS 6 work as expected. And we have a particularly flaky Wi-Fi environment thanks to our less than stellar netadmins.
But in the end, it is entirely up to you. Will you bite the bullet, or wait some more? Check the new stuff that came with iOS 6 and decide whether or not to risk it. -
ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch
I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
I use iTunes 11.0.
I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
(I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
Thank you for the help in advance.

I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7

Can not get shows "Purchased on Apple TV" in iTunes to show up on Apple TV
Hi - Ugg! To try and make this all work I deleted and re-added Apple TV to iTunes. I now can not get any of the shows that have been transferred to my laptop (which I did not want in the first place) to show up on the Apple TV.
All the shows that I bought now live in iTunes under "Purchased on Apple TV" but are not showing up on my Apple TV.
When I go to sync it wants to move the few shows I have left on my Apple TV over and I can't get it to not do this.
ThanksControl-click the movies in iTunes, reveal them in the Finder, move them over as you would any other file, and drag them into the open iTunes application window. Rented movies won't play if moved this way.

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it. I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.
-TylerNever mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

ITunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes
Problem: iTunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes even though new content is fully available on iTunes Store for purchase as single episodes
I purchased Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday 10/11. The 1st episode, called "Growing Pains," aired on the evening of Thursday 10/11 and has been available since approx. 2 am EST Friday 10/12 for purchase/download on the iTunes Store, but it is NOT automatically downloading to my iTunes account even though I repeatedly click "Check for Available Downloads." The button to purchase the single episode in the iTunes Store is activated, meaning anyone can purchase that individual episode for $2.99, but I paid for the whole Season Pass and I can't retrieve this single episode.
My iTunes is NOT recognizing that there is an Episode 1 available for download. I rebooted my Mac, restarted iTunes, logged into the iTunes store to click on "Purchased" content and try to force a download, all to no avail -- the screen listing the episodes available for download under my Purchased account fails to list Episode 1 of this TV show. It as though this Episode is invisible to my iTunes account/download queue. Yet, Episode 1 is sitting on the iTunes Store server and has been there for the past day.
I have clearly identified this problem to Apple Customer Service and they did not seem to intially understand my problem. They told me that it takes a few days for TV networks to make an episode available to the iTunes store, and therefore I should wait for a few days -- this totally misses the issue! The premiere episode has already been provided by the TV network to iTunes, and is available now on the iTunes Store. The problem is a technological server-side one, where for some reason my iTunes download queue is not picking up on the fact that there is new, pre-paid content available for download.
Please help if you experienced similar issues with your Season Pass. I bought a Season Pass for last year and it worked without any problems -- all episodes aired on Thursday nights and were downloaded by 2 or 3 am Friday morning. I am thinking of cancelling/refunding the Season Pass, and just paying for Hulu+ instead of waiting around hoping for Customer Service to finally read my email and DO something instead of telling me to "wait a few days."
Below is my email thread with Customer Service. I can't believe there is no longer phone support to talk to a live person, who should be able to reset my download queue -- or do something on the server-side -- easily.

Thanks. The problem is, this Episode "Growing Pains" IS already available
on iTunes for individual purchase for $2.99, and has been available since 2
am EST last night. The issue isn't its availability from the TV network --
it's the Season Pass queue for downloads not recognizing that this episode
should be downloaded.

I'm having the same problem on Windows and Mac, neither automatically download episodes from any of my season passes, nor do they find it when I select "Check for available downloads," it informs me all episodes have been downloaded for my Apple ID, which in fact they have not.
I have to find the episode in my Library(which shows all available episodes on my computer and in the iTunes Store) and from there I have to manually click to download. I tried deauthorizing all my computers and reauthorizing just one computer, and that didn't work either. I also deleted my other device(iPad) from the "iTunes in the Cloud" just in case there was some issue associated with that, and that didn't work either.
It’s sad that the iTunes rep didn't really "listen" to what you said. I find this happens at many other companies too. They often are trying to fit your problem into some prepared script or solution, or they are distracted or in a hurry and don't actually read or listen fully to an even well defined account of the problem.
Best of luck to us all! Hope they fixed it soon. -
Why will my new iPad no longer sync my non-iTunes TV shows?
My original iPad, as well as my iPhone 4S, synced perfectly with iTunes 10.6. I usually use the option Sync 3 Oldest Unwatched for the TV Shows that I add myself, but this no longer works for my new iPad; it does not recognize non-iTunes TV shows in my sync settings, and refuses to sync any of them unless I manually select the episodes. What could be the problem here?
Thank you for your reply and your suggestion. I did try using a different cable. The original cable was one that had been working perfectly well just last week. ITunes is still not styncing.

Hi. A very much help needed.
- iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
- I've already re-install iTunes various times
- Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
- Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
but... to no avail!!!!
I am now without any phone to be used.
HELP ME PLEASEHello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:
