Apple TV 2 G - Can only see a few songs in my library, can't see any Movies

Just bought the Apple TV. I thought that once I setup Homesharing that I would be able to see my entire iTunes library including music and movies. Thus far I can only see a few songs.
I have updated my iTunes to 10.2 and checked for software updates on the Apple TV, but get the same results.
I am able to start playing a movie in iTunes and then select Apple TV from the list of devices at the bottom right corner of my iTunes library and it will then it will play on my TV, but if this is how I need to play every movie I'll be returning the Apple TV.

when I navigated on my Apple TV to Computers > "My iTunes Library" at the top of my TV displayed some of my music. I did not realize that I had to click on the "My iTunes Library" to get more option. Once I clicked on "My iTunes Library" I then saw all of the media options and all the music and movie titles. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out.

  • Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

    Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

    I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip or email me if you don't have commenting privileges.

  • Can't open / see any movie

    Hi there,
    it is still anoying. I hope someone can help me out.
    I can't see any movie I upload to my IPad. If I try to view a video I always get an Error form IPad "Cannot Open" Some Infos:
    Ipad first Generation
    Yesterday I did a whole "Restore"
    Now my IOS Version is 5.0.1
    No jailbreak or something else
    iTunes on Windows Version 10.5.33 (Latest)
    No matter what I do, I can't play my videos. Tried several Programs and or Settings:
    - Sorenson Squeeze 8 with Ipad Settings
      "IPad 720p" -> Codec Sorenson H.264, Audio "Coding Technologies aac"
      "IPad Native Res 1024x768" with Sorenson H.264 and also "Main Concept H.264"
    - Quicktime Export as H.264, 3500kBit/s Audio AAC 44.100 kHz, Bitrate 128 kBit/s
    - After Effects export
    - Native iPad Settings from "Handbrake"
    Also I see only a grey TV in my list and no preview image from the videos.
    However, Youtube Vidis are fine (in YouTube App) and I can also download and SEE Podcasts.
    Yes, I did a lot of Resets, Power On/Off etc.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks,
    i-v

    After hours with try and error no solutions.
    I changed now from windows with iTunes over to my Mac and surprise: It works. All videos are now playable (the same which wasn't before)
    => Windows Vista, 64Bit, Itunes 10.5.3.3  did not work
    => Same mp4 over Mac to Ipad did work.
    No idea, what's going on, or is wrong on the PC.
    Thanks,

  • How can I transfer my whole iTunes library using home sharing? At the moment it is only sharing a few songs from each album.

    How do I transfer my entire iTunes library from my old laptop to my new one? At the moment using Home Sharing only transfers a few songs from each album. Is there another way I can transfer from one laptop to another?

  • HT1600 Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies.  I always returns to the main menu.  Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

    Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies.  It always returns to the main menu.  Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?  We have gone 3 days without the use of renting movies.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • I'm trying to buy more storage on my iPad but when I get to the "buy" button, it has my old Apple ID and I can't go any farther. I've changed my Apple ID on all my devices, logged out, logged back in, rebooted, etc., but that one area still has old one.

    You can't buy more storage on an iPad. You are referring to space on iCloud and that probably won't accomplish what you are trying to do.

  • Bought a whole album and I only wanted a few songs and now all songs from album are on my phone but not my mac

    Okay so today one of my friends used my phone to sign in to his Apple I.D I don't know why? Anyway...once he logged off there was a whole album I bought and I only wanted a few songs from that album and deleted the songs I didn't want but somehow those songs I deleted from the album showed up on my Music on my iPhone but not my Mac. I tried to download it so I could delete it but it says in 90 days you can use another Apple I.D to download songs. Is there a way I can delete the songs I don't want from that album but keep the songs I want? Help?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    I bought a new iPad Air from the Apple store in Madison, Wisconsin about a month ago. I asked how to transfer movie files from my Mac Book Pro to the iPad. It took the Genius about two hours to figure out the process. He typed the above instructions. I have not actually gone thru the above steps.
    Hope this helps

  • I am in UAE and i can't purchase any movies from uae itunes store why ??

    i am in UAE and i can't purchase any movies from uae itunes store why ??

    Not all content types are available in all countries, and the UAE is one of those countries where you can't buy films, TV shows, or music from Apple (a full list of what is available where is shown on this page). Ultimately it is down to the licenseholders/distributors to make their content available to Apple to sell in a particular country. Do you have access to other media purchase download sites in the UAE ?
