Apple TV 3rd Gen - iTunes Movies Not Showing Up???

I have Apple TV 3rd Gen (latest) but for some reason my previously purchased itunes movies are not showing up anywhere on the system.  The content was purchased on my previous Apple TV 1 and stored in a connected itunes library via my iMac.  The TV shows are all there and eveything else seems to be working find.  Home sharing is ON. Does anyone know why?

Changing the store setting in itunes store  helped me get the store back

  • ITunes movies not showing up on Apple TV

    I'm having some trouble with my movies not showing up on Apple TV.
    The movies I am missing are not purchased from iTunes but I have converted them using Handbrake. I've double checked the format and they seem to be what's required from what I've read in other threads.
    I've also made sure they are in the "movies" category and not "home movies."
    I'm not the most computer savy person... most of what I know is just from reading threads.  Can someone help?
    Here is the format of a movie that's not showing up:
    H.264, 720 x 304, Millions
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.00 kHz
    Movie FPS: 23.98
    Playing FPS: 23.98
    Data Size: 1.24 GB
    Data Rate: 938.58 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 720 x 304 pixels
    Current Size: 720 x 304 pixles

    RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want.  The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store.  So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
    What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning.  So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
    As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

  • IPod Nano 3rd gen 8GB does not show music library, can't restore in osx.3.9

    I have two problems: Although, I can see mu iPod's music library when I plug in it into my ancient laptop (iBook G4 10.3.9), the library doesn't display on the iPod once it's disconnected, meaning I can't play any songs on the iPod proper). I've done everything that the Apple website recommends for troubleshooting my Nani 3rd generation, including attempting to reset it repeatedly. I've now saved the songs elsewhere, and I'm prepared to restore it, but I can't seem to find a way to reset it in iTunes 4 (apparently the latest version of iTunes that will work on this computer). Am I missing something? What should I do? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Best,
    Diane

    Hey there,
    If your iPod is a 3rd generation nano, it will not work with anything below 10.4 as outlined in this Apple support document. That could be the underlying problem. Hope this helped.

  • Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up Apple TV(1st Gen)

    So frustrated. Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up on my Apple TV(1st Gen) in the Shared Movie area. I've done the Media Type fix to "movie." I've re-started and re-booted and changed the Apple TV from ethernet to wireless and re-connected iTunes. Renamed the library. Everything's up to date. Grrr.

    I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
    Unbelievable.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.
    Get help using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a good one,
    Alex H.

  • Itunes Is Not Showing Purchased Movies

    I got a new computer and installed Itunes.  Itunes is only recognizing purchased songs.  It is not recognizing/downloading movies from the cloud  that I received via a code in a movie box.  The movies show up on all my other devices (apple TV, iphone, ipad, etc.).  What can I do to get Itunes to download these movies?
    I've tried deauthorizing the computer and then reauthorizing it.  I've also tried syncing the movies from my iphone, but this doesn't work.  Itunes does not show these movies on my phone when I connect it to Itunes even though they are there.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello ikovalchuk17,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased movies. 
    First, I recommend trying to download the movies from your list of past purchases as outlined in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    If you are not seeing your purchases there, I suggest reviewing the section titled "Having trouble with iTunes Digital Copy? " in the following article:

    CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV!  How do I fix this?

    You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)
