Apple TV not showing all of my itunes library

I recently bought an Apple TV, but I'm having a problem with the Apple TV showing all of the content in my iTunes library. For example on my computer I have Shrek 1, 2 and 3, all play fine on my computer, but from my Apple TV I only am able to see Shrek 2. What do I need to do to have my Apple TV recognize my whole iTunes library?

what is the source of your movies?
i already know the answer (from your removed post), but if you can confirm it.
if you purchased them from the itunes store then they are already appletv compatible.
if you have ripped them from DVD (and i believe you have) then we you already know the rules regarding that.
as a general rule, just because something is in itunes does not automatically make it appletv compatible. if it is not showing up on the appletv, it seems it is not compatible.

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

It's not showing up on my iTunes Library

Okay so previously I was an owner of an android and have recently switched to an iPhone 5s. I downloaded iTunes and did all the required steps and whatnot, but then I had also transferred all my music from GooglePlay to iTunes. For the most part it was successful, without flaw, the problem only occuring when I had to of the same artist, but different albums. I read the pop-up box about it having to merge and I thought it was good, right? Wrong. In my Music Folder on my desktop it says it is in iTunes, but the it's not showing up on my iTunes Library. Why isn't it showing up and how can I get it to show up so that I can listen to mutiple of their albums?
(The first album from the same artist was uploaded via CD and the second was vis GooglePlay. I synced my phone to see if the other albums from GooglePlay had problems but found none. It's just when I have two of the same artists and different albums.)

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

Hi clur,

Some of my recently purchased music (from iTunes) is not showing up in my iTunes library. It should be on the cloud, no? How can I get it onto my computer?

I recently had to wipe my macbook, and when I brought all my content back from my external hard drive, my itunes library wasn't up to date. I hadn't backed up my computer in a few months, and a lot of music I purchased in the last few months didn't show up in my itunes library. I went to the itunes store "Purchased" and re-uploaded my recent purchases, but it still didn't put all of my music on my laptop. I know my most recent music purchases must be on the icloud, but why aren't they uploading to my library, and how can I get that music back (that I paid for)?

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong. Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?

Apple TV not showing all my iTunes purchases in "Music"

Just got my Apple TV connected, all works fine (syncs with my MacBook iTunes etc) but one annoying thing is that under the "Music" tab, only a small fraction of the music I have purchased over the past few years appears, so that when my MacBook is turned off, I'm limited to those few songs. Any ideas?

The main Movies/TV Shows/Music icons play back either movie rentals/purchases, TV Show purchases or purchased music via the internet.
All the content in iTunes is normally accessed on the LAN using Home Sharing via the Computers icon and its Movies/TV Shows/Music submenus. If iTunes is not running local LAN content can't be accessed.
If much of the music you have is from ripped CDs, MP3s from other sopurces/vendors, it will not appear under the main Music icon unless you have an iTunes Match subscription. I'm not certain that even iTunes Store purchasesd appear under this without iTunes Match but as I have a subscription I can't currently tell.
If you have iTunes Match it's possible all your iTunes library has not been matched as yet as some non-recognised titles need to be uploaded to the cloud.

Apple health not showing all steps

I'm having issues on not being able to show all data within Apple Health when is comes to steps or walking + Running Distance. When I go into the specific category, I am able to see the chart for the past year, month, week, and day. But when I go to the "Show All Data", it just has the wheel spinning and never shows me all of the points. Wondering if I'm missing something here.

You are not alone. Mine takes a long time to retrieve. However, I have found no reason to sit and wait for a retrieval of all the data points of walking and steps. So, I have no idea how long it might take.

Apple TV not showing all my purchased movies.

Missing content from iTunes library. Purchased 5 movies at one time on my Mac iTunes, only 3 are showing up on AppleTV. The other 2 are in iTunes only. I do not want to have to stream movies.

Yes they were purchased with same Apple ID.
They are both 20th Century Fox movies. So that means I can watch on my Mac or stream only????

Content on my Ipod Touch that does not show up in my iTunes library.....???

I have a group of about 6 podcasts on my ipod touch that I am trying to delete b/c I've already listened to them and want to free up space. Problem is when I plug into iTunes my library does not list these podcasts as being on my ipod. I know they are on there because I can listen to them but for some reason they do not show up. All of my other podcasts show up, just not these. I'm running iTunes 9.0.3.15 if that makes a difference.
Seems like i've run into this problem before as well with an audiobook. Don't remember how I got rid of that.

No problem. Glad to have helped.
Not sure as to why it happened. I just know this has been happening to a few users lately. It may be with how you have your iPod touch configured to sync Podcasts. So you may want to double check these settings as well as mess around with them a bit to figure out if that is the cause. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure on this one. Sorry I cannot be of much help here.

Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in my itunes library, or purchase history. The iPhone was unauthorized, but connected to my iTunes account.

So I got a new iPhone about a month or two ago (I no longer have this iphone) and I bought some albums from iTunes but now that I'm on my computer (which the iphone is not authorized on) I cant seem to find out how to download the albums I downloaded. The albums were bought on the iPhone through the iTunes app that was associated with my account. The songs show as purchased on the iTunes store, but theyre not in my purchased list.

With your iPhone connected, iTunes open and the iPhone selected in the devices panel, go to File menu and click "Transfer purchases"
