AppleTV in itunes missing movies/tv shows/music/podcasts tabs

A friend's AppleTV only shows two tabs when in itunes: settings and photos.
My AppleTV (1st gen) shows all the usual tabs (settings/movies/tv shows/music/podcasts) and my settings tab has a Sync box where I can set my sync settings - my friends does not. All he has in his settings tab is the top box which states the name, capacity, software version and serial number.
He's using iTunes10 and his AppleTv (gen1) is on version 3.0.2
Any idea why he can't see what I can with mine? Any suggestions? His AppleTV shows up in iTunes fine, and is connected to the internet.

was your imac running OSX 10.5x, and is the new mac pro running OSX 10.6x? I wonder if the first generation of AppleTVs isn't properly snow leopard compatible? My friend's imac that he's got his AppleTV connected to is running Snow Leopard (my AppleTV is connected to an old G5 running 10.5x and as I say, it works perfectly)....hmmmmm

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

    I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb.  With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv.  Does anyone know how I can do it?

    While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes.  Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located.  There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky.  If it's just one or two try:  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

  • Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos from iCloud not showing up in Videos app

    So I just did a reset on my iPhone because the movie artwork for the movie Love Actually was a picture of Adele's album artwork and it really bothered me. All the other movies in the Videos app was fine, they all matched to their respective titles. So I did a reset hoping that would fix that tiny minor issue but after doing the reset and restoring, None of the movies I've purchased in the past are showing up. All it says is "No Content. You can download videos from the iTunes Store." And I did go into the Videos settings to make sure "Show All Videos" is being set to on (green) but it still did nothing, none of my movies, tv shows, or music videos are showing up in the cloud. This really irritates me because I had one small issue that I was hoping to fix but now a new problem has risen and it's going to bug the **** out of me more than the original problem did. I tried turning it off and turining it back on, signing in and out of iTunes account, and pressing the power button and the home button at the same time, but still nothing from iCloud has appeared, Is anybody else having this issue? FYI, I also have the latest update 7.0.4 but I don't think that should have caused this issue. If anybody knows a solution, please let me know because as you can see, I'm very OCD about this, I like to see all my videos in the Videos app.

    This was driving me nuts, but I figured it out. Here's how to fix:
    1) Create (or find) a thumbnail image that represents the series to you (I put text over a screenshot) in Photoshop or whatever you like to use, and put it on the clipboard
    2) In iTunes, select all the episodes from your series in the TV Shows view, right click, and select "Get Info"
    3) On the first tab ("Info") click in the artwork field, then paste in the thumbnail
    4) THIS IS THE KEY STEP - With your iPad plugged into your Mac, go to the TV shows tab and uncheck "Sync TV Shows" and then apply the new settings, and say okay when it tells you all your TV shows will be removed from your iPad
    5) After the sync is complete, check to make sure all your TV shows are gone (in the video app, there shouldn't even be a tab for TV Shows)
    6) In iTunes, check Sync TV Shows again, then apply
    Once the sync is complete, your TV Shows will hopefully show up with good thumbnails.
    The issue seems to be that once a file has been copied over, updating the thumbnail image in iTunes will NOT force an update on the iPad, and in the TV Shows view there are no captions on the main screen. You have to delete all the files to wipe the DB on the iPad.

  • ITunes 11 Movies/TV Shows no artwork when purchased

    This has me a bit stumped...
    This has only started since I upgraded to iTunes 11 but I want to see if others are having the same issue or it's just me.
    Since the upgrade if I purchase a movie or TV show on my Mac the artwork disappears when the download has finished, during the download I can see the artwork fine but as soon as it finishes it's gone.  If I go into 'Get Info' the artwork option is greyed out.
    Now, if I delete the Movie/TV Show from iTunes but keep a copy in iCloud the artwork reappears.  So it would appear that anything stored in iCloud the artwork is fine but if downloaded locally then the artwork is not downloaded.
    Has anyone else the issue?

    I'm not entirely sure when this issue started for me but I know it's been since 11-Oct-2012.  I'm always on the latest iTunes so if you know release dates you'll know what version it started for me.  The HD TV show downloaded from iTunes didn't have Album Artwork.   It was irritating but dismissed it.  November&December 2012 I purchased several new releases in HD.  None of them displayed the Album Artwork on any of my devices (MacbookPro, iPhone, AppleTV).   I'm currently on iTunes 11.0.1.  As already pointed out you can paste a new photo into "Get Info==>Artwork tab" hit save but it DOESN't save.  You can select "Get Album Artwork" but it doesn't produce anything.   Now in my trial-and-error phase I tried deleting the Movie from my MacbookPro and re-downloading through the cloud. It worked.  I had Album Artwork.  Unfortunetly, the iTunes Extra didn't download which frankly ticked me off as well.   I tried the delete, re-download process again and it downloaded everything but again NO Album Artwork.   It's important to mention that the iTunes Extra file does contain the Album Artwork and even after "linking" the movie with the extras by "part of a compilation, 1 of 2 and 2 of 2" it didn't fix the Artwork problem.  So, I think the problem is when the actual download from iTunes store and how it saves to the iTunes Media Library.  And, yes, I'm on a NAS device.  Regardless, here is the workaround that resolved all 6 movies and 1 TV show.  The solution is manually adding the movie into iTunes and not relying on the download from the cloud.
    Fix
    Step 1;  copy individual movie folder such as "Brave" to another directory outside of iTunes Media Folder <note: in recent iTunes you'll notice all files, HD, SD and Extra is in one folder - NOT always the case with older versons>
    Step 2:  delete move from iTunes desktop but select "keep files"
    Step 3:  rename the movie folder of the movie you just deleted within iTunes Desktop
    Step 4:  in iTunes desktop, select from File menu, "Add to Library" and select the copied folder from Step 1; e.g. the one outside of the iTunes Media Folder
    Step 5:  once import is complete, verify Artwork is now as it should be displayed
    Step 6:  verify the movie folder back into iTunes Media Folder <if it is not but the movie was added, check advanced tab within preferences and check the box to add files to iTunes Media Folder on import>
    Step 7:  delete copied movie folder that you placed outside iTunes Media Folder from step 1
    Step 8:  delete the renamed, original, movie folder from step 3
    Optional:  iTunes at some point listed the movie and iTunes Extras as compilations.  I found I had problems in the past if it wasn't linked.  So, I manually make the movie part 1 of 2 and the iTunes extra part 2 of 2.  Don't forget to hit the compilation flag too.

  • Itunes bought movies/tv shows not displaying in my authorized mac mini

    I have a Mac mini (mid 2011) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX 10.9.4 working as a media server, it has been authorized to run all the media I buy from my iTunes account. It is connected to a SHARP TV monitor through the HDMI port and had wired (Gigabite LAN) to several Apple TV around my house.
    Problem is that I cannot watch the movies/TV shows I have bought in the iTunes store, music and home videos play perfectly in this computer +monitor.
    The same movies/TV shows I can play through my several Apple TVs without a glitch. Does anyone have any idea regarding this?

    Hello alarife,
    You may need to verify that the cable in use and the TV both support HDCP.

  • Itunes store does not show Music as an option on the top bar

    When I look at my itunes store I cannot see Music as an ption across the top bar. I can select from App Store, Books, Podcasts and ItunesU but not Music... Help!

    Garth, 
    Each country's iTunes Store has a different selection.  The majority of them, including India's, do not sell songs.
    For a list of what is available in each country, see this document: iTunes Store: Which types of items can I buy in my country?

  • Genius Recommendations in the iTunes store does not show the TV tab anymore.

    Recently the Genius recommendations in the iTunes store stopped even displaying the "TV" tab.  I still see the music and movies tabs (and the recommendations in them).  However, there is no tab for TV Shows.  About the same time (maybe simultaneously not positive though) I stopped seeing the quick link (upper right hand side of screen) to get to the TV Shows portion of my wish list.  For the wish list I can still scroll down to the TV section and click "see more" to get to the full list.  However in the Genius recommendations even the "show more" doesn't give me any TV Shows.
    Has anybody ever seen this before?  I'm at a loss after some quick searching on the web.

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Categorizing Movies, TV Shows & Video Podcasts

    Dear Mac Friends,
    I was wondering if some one could offer some advise or perhaps offer 3rd Party Software to help organize my iTunes Library more efficiently.
    My issues is getting iTunes to recognize the different kinds of Video files that I upload to the Main Library. All Video files by default, are categorized and placed in the "Movies" Library regardless of whether they are TV Shows or Video Podcasts. I download lots of TV shows from my TiVo and would like to place them in the "TV Shows" Library. I know there is not way for iTunes to tell the difference but I should at the very least be able to manually categorize them by what they are. I've tried changing the "Genre" and "Category" to say TV Show it still puts it in the Movies Library.
    This becomes problematic and very confusing when trying to Sync them to my iPhone or Video iPod. I don't know if I should chose the Playlist of TV Shows that I created from the "Music" Preference-Pane or if I need to manually select each TV Show Episode from the "Movies" Preference-Pane
    Any Advice or Suggestion would be very appreciated.
    -ROD

    FOLLOW-UP ISSUE:
    I have made a number of Smart Playlists for my TV Shows and Video Podcasts. However when I select my Video Podcast Playlists to be sync'd in the iphone/ipod syncing preferences (under the MUSIC tab), they do not sync. Sadly I have to select Podcast independently under the PODCAST tab. This become very difficult when I have 100+ podcasts. I'd much rather be able to select a playlist.
    It is interesting that under the VIDEO tab they do allow for TV Show Playlist syncing. I'm guessing this is a common gripe and that it is simply not a feature that has be implemented yet. However, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion or work-around.

  • Itunes Store does not show lastest podcast but it downloaded

    So i am pretty much and stuck on this issue. I have seen a couple of other post but no answers. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
    The issue is the Itunes store does not show the last episode by it can still be downloaded and played.
    The latest episode the Itunes store shows is 10/17/10 however it has been updated weekly.
    Link to Itunes:

    I have used a couple of feed validaters and nothing seems wrong to me. Can anyone find an issue i have not looked at? Should i just try to contact Apple Support?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    The iTunes Store caches the feed and checks periodically to see if it's been updated, so there is a delay before new episodes appear: however it's usually around 2 days, not almost a month. When subscribing the iTunes application reads the feed directly, so there is no delay.
    Something is preventing the Store from updating the feed. This can happen if there is some oddity in the feed which throws the Store but not the application - usually a strange character of some sort. I looked for something like that in the first episode not to appear in the Store, but there is nothing odd there: you've used dots in the filename of your mp3 file and this isn't a good idea, but in fact doesn't seem to be causing a problem since some earlier episodes do the same thing. Ideally you shouldn't use dots in a URL.
    The filename for the episode of 28 November includes the code %3A - this is the code for a colon - you definitely shouldn't have a colon in a filename. However since this episode comes later than several others which haven't appeared it may not be fatal - but it's not a good idea.
    The other oddity is that you have two 'title' tags in the top section of your feed, both empty. You did have a title once, as it shows in the Store, but you've removed it at some point so that the feed is not titled. I don't know whether this is sufficient to prevent the Store from updating, but you should definitely replace the title - I see you are using Podcast Maker, so you need to enter the title there and republish - and see whether that helps.

  • Home sharing in iTunes 10 is only showing music to share.  How do I move my apps to a new computer as well?  (both are PC's and both have iTunes 10)

    I am have been working on moving my iTunes library from one computer to another.  Both PC's.   I have updated both to have iTunes 10 as it is the most recent version.   I turned on Home Sharing and successfully moved over my music, however I can't seem to move over everything else.  It is like it isn't set up to do so with Home Sharing.   Any suggestions?

    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Apps" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. (Unfortunately, it's not showing "Apps" because there aren't any in that library. But fingers crossed it should give you an idea of what you're looking for.)

  • ITunes downloaded Movies & TV Shows to iPhone

    OK - so I downloaded two recent "The Daily Show with John Stewart" 6/26/07 and 6/28/07 with the intention of watching these on my iPhone during lunch breaks.
    I guess I was assuming too much as I find they will not sync to my iPhone.
    I saw no notice on iTunes that these videos cannot be sync-ed to iPhone. In fact I find there's nothing in the iTunes store that alerts me to this issue.
    If I'm missing some important piece of inside knowledge here I'd sure like to hear back from other iPhone users.
    My general question for help is where in iTunes can I determine if a downloadable video, podcast, music, TV Shows, etc can or cannot be sync-ed to my iPhone.
    I feel cheated by Apple at this time, but will retract this feeling if somehow I've missed reading some fine print on the iTunes Store.
    Thanks....

    There's no reason I can see that they won't sync.
    Plug your iPhone into the computer and open iTunes if it doesn't open for you.
    Select the iPhone in the left hand column
    Click on the Video tab
    Pull down to "All unwatched" or something like "3 most recent unwatched" and click on selected TV shows then select "The Daily Show..."
    Once you're done you'll probably need to resync. Click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to do this.
    Hope that helps!

  • Itunes store does not show music

    Why I couldn't find "Music" appears on the bar of iTunes store?

    Not all content types are available in all countries, and Hong Kong is one of those countries where music is not currently available - have you got access to other music purchase download sites, or you could copy your own CDs via iTunes.
