Anyone know why TV shows are not importing back into iTunes from my backup file?

My whole library was backed up on an external hard drive.  Something happened to my library on iTouch and everything was gone except for most recent purchases.  Also had new computer so downloaded iTunes again and went to import from my backup files.  Music imported but most movies, music videos, and all TV shows did not.  Also tried dragging files from backup folder to iTunes to copy but still did not work.  Anyone know how to fix this??

iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
If your backup/restore includes the library files then information that isn't stored in tags, such as playlists & playlist membership, ratings, play counts etc. is preserved. Video Kind (Movie/TV Show/Music Video) is a property that isn't always stored in the tag. If you had restored the whole library (database files & media) then there would have been no need to import anything as you would have restored the database complete with all its information about your media.

  • Does anyone know why some partitions are not mounted at at boot up?

    We have many new intel based IMacs with 1Tb internal drives. Each drive is partitioned into 6 and are in a university mac lab.
    Occasionally some of the partitions are not mounted when the mac first boots up, so we have to go into disk utility and mount them manually. This happens on various machines at different times. We have NTFS-3G installed so I'm wondering if it's something to do with that.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?  Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

    My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?   Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?  I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

    Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
    You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

    There a lot of accounts of apple,where are many games,these accounts are sold every day,i know that only 5 person can download one app,i want to know why this accounts are not blocked

    This is not a technical question, and discussions of Apple's policies are not appropriate here. If you have some sort of problem with your own iTunes Store account, by all means let us know and we may be able to help you, but otherwise this question is not one we can discuss in these forums.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    For what it's worth, I am not using this method, nor am I re-enabling Java until Oracle comes out with a fix. I also won't be available to advise you on troubleshooting this method.

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • How to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system

    Is there an easy way to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system?  Some of the files are ~50MB each (instrument files).  There are a total of ~1,500 records spread over about 5 tables.
    Thanks

    What problem are you having writing it to a file?
    You can't use FORALL to write the data out to a file, you can only loop through the entries in the collection 1 by 1 and write them out to the file like that.
    FORALL can only be used for SQL statements.

  • Does anyone know why the tutorials are now 30 minutes instead of an hour? When I purchased the program after buying my iMac it was $100 for 1 year for tutorials of 30 to 60 minutes???

    I am very disappointed that the length of the tutorials offered at my Apple Store have been reduced from 60 minutes to 30 minutes!  As for the $100.00 fee charged for the tutorials it has not been reduced to $50.00 This was an option offered to me for a year when I purchased my iMac.
    Does anyone know why???
    Thanks in advance....

    No need to apologise.   As a newbie, it is easy to stray out of line but it is clear that was not your intention.
    This is a technical forum, as has been written, but you are not alone in raising issues in the way you have.
    Do not be deterred; just re-read the terms and conditions when you have a moment.
    Hopefully this will help for the future.

  • My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

    My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.

  • Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    What year and model?
    I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
    Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:
    http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jun08/19001204_Mercedes_Benz_Hearts_The_iPod_New_Cradle_Allows_Further_Integration_Into_ The_VehicleArchitecture.html
    I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector.

  • Cannot Import Back into LR4 from PS

    I've been working on my macbook pro for years now exporting files from LR into PS, doing my edits, then saving and having the file automatically import back into LR.
    I just upgraded to an iMac and have everything set up, but, now, when I do the EXACT same process, I recieve the error "Could not save as "IMG_1445.tif" because write access was not granted." when trying to save my file in Photoshop.
    I have never had this problem before...Any help would be greatly appreciated! It seems pointless to have a workflow that doesn't work!!!
    If it has anything to do with it...I also get an error before exporting from LR: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw Plug-in version 7.4 for full compatibility"
    I checked my software and it is up to date. Why would I receive this error when exporting?
    Thanks for any insight!!!

    Thanks for the tip. I actually figured it out by luck. Turns out that for some reason my external drive was showing as "read only" on the iMac even though it has has full permissions on the MacBook. So, I went to the Seagate support page and downloaded their Mac DNG file for the drive. Works perfectly now!
    Thanks for the response, I appreciate the support!
