Automatic Moving a movie into the Library question please?

Good Day.
If I rip one of my own DVD's and have it put directly into the iTunes Move Library, will it come up in the iTunes Movie list window automatically or do I have to do something else?
Thanks for looking.
Tom

Thanks Razor...
But I was wondering if I had a DVD conversation app write the movie *mp4 etc., right into the "Movie" in the iTunes library would the iTunes app/Window see it when I then launched iTunes? Kinda without going thru the above mentioned step....
Thanks again.

Importing a movie into the library

Hello,
I am having trouble importing my movie "Disturbia", which is on my computer, into my iTunes library. It is a m4v file type and I tried dragging the movie into my library but it would not go. I also tried right clicking and open with..iTunes and it still would not go. Any ideas how I could add it to my library??

ITunes crashes by dropping a mov into the library

Hello,
when I copy a movie-file into iTunes by dropping it from Finder into iTunes-menu at the end of the copy-process iTunes chrashes. I tried it with some movie-files (oder container works).
I did it several times before and it worked.

The MPEG-2-video is from German PAL-TV.
What video-format should I use and how can I export the video to this format without loosing any quality?

How do I share my movies with my wife's iTunes account on the same iMac, without having to actually copy the movie into her library?

I apologize if this is already in the forum somewhere, I simply could not find this question being asked anywhere. We have an iMac running Lion with all of the latest updates as well as the latest version of iTunes. All of the digital movies we've purchased through iTunes, have been purchased through my iTunes account. However, my wife is the one with the iPad, and syncs it with her own iTunes library and her own Apple ID. I have turned on Homesharing for my library, and she can see my library from within her iTunes account. We turned on the feature to automatically copy new movies into her library so that she could sync those movies onto her iPad. However, I quickly discovered that it is literally storing a second copy of the movie file in her iTunes folder, and therefore eating up precious hard drive space. Is there a way for her to "check" movies in my homeshare library from within iTunes to sync with her iPad when she connects it, without actually copying those movies into her iTunes folder? If not, any suggestions on how we can solve this issue?

What you're describing is the expected behaviour. I believe though that is also is the easiest way to have all the contents available to both of you at all times. If you have a spacious hard drive you should probably allow this to happen as anything else will be harder to manage.
My suggestion would be the following if you want to try something different.
Store all your music at a location that is accessible by both of you — an example would be to use your Public Folder as the locations where iTunes will go and look for all the media files—. Your wife does have access to it.
In the Finder you will need to move the folder name iTunes Music to the location in your Public Folder (see above). Once that's done, you and your wife will have to go into the iTunes Preferences > Advance Preferences and un-check Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. From this point on, you can continue to use iTunes as usual. You'll need to tell your wife what has been newly downloaded/imported into your iTunes so she can manually go look for those items in that Public Folder iTunes of yours and import them into her iTunes. She will not duplicate by doing that, but, like I say this is an all-manual work.
She can do the same, so you have access to contents she imported herself. One more downside of this is that both usernames have to be active in your iMac. If yours isn't, she won't be able to access any item (song, book, app) located in your Public Folder's iTunes.
I'm sure there's a way, if you have an router with external hard drive conectivity, for both of you to be able to access —independently— the iTunes Media at all times but I was just reading at another post that doing so can further complicate things.
Hope this helps. Please let me know what you think or decide to do.

Cannot import a .mov file into the library

I am trying to import a .mov file into my library so I can
create a .fla file. Every time I try to import it into the library
using the import wizard, it starts the importing process and always
quits not quite two minutes into the process. It then returns me to
the front page of the import wizard. I have done this before with
absolutely no problems.
The one thing that I am wondering about is the size of this
particular .mov file. It is 377MB. Do you think this may be part of
my problem? Thank you in advance for anyone's input or
suggestions!

I would consider 10mb to be too big for a flash file. Even if
it was CD
I would load it dynamically to avoid performance problem.
377mb is out of the question way beyond flash ability to
maintain stable
performance, not just the final output but the IDE itself.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

My old back i had a lot of movies on it and it was stolen. i got a new one and it won't let me download my 400 dollars in movies into my library..all the movies show up on my purchased items how do i do this???

if you cant download them > email the iTunes Store emaill support adn explian the situation adn they will give you a regrant of all your purchases.
expresslane.apple.com > click on iTunes > then iTunes Store > and choose the right prompts
but you should try the pas purchase thing in iTunes first because the regrant is a one time thing. > IE iTunes Store > purchases > click what you want > redownload
> but you do need iTunes 10.5 or later for it to work correctly .
i woudl ask for the regrant it you dont have the options for movies yet

IPhoto won't import movies (.mov, .mp4) into the library since last upgrade to 9.5.1 (902.17)

iPhoto won't import movies (.mov, .mp4) into the library since last upgrade to 9.5.1 (902.17). Error message is "File format not recognized". Before that, no problem. Had them first on SD-card over USB, tried then to copy to the HD (Desktop) and import from there, but didn't work. Imported successfully into iMovie and exported as .mp4, but even this is not recognized.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Can't get songs from my iPod into the library on my new mac

I recently had to get a new hard-drive on my dell laptop, and iTunes was uninstalled from the computer. When I re-installed iTunes, my iPod was not being recognized by the laptop, so none of my songs on my iPod were in the library anymore.
Now I have a new MacBook, and my iPod is being recognized, but I can't get most of my songs from my iPod into the library in iTunes.
I'm sure there is an easy solution, but I can't figure it out!
Any help is much appreciated!!!

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Loading into the library at runtime?

I have built a flash animation (for a web site) that requires a number of decent quality JPG images. I don't display all of these at the start, so I don't want to wait for them all to load before starting the animation. Thus I want to be able to load these images in the background - the obvious process would involve MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method. This works fine if I am loading into an INSTANCE of a moveclip (either existing on the stage or one that I creat in actionscript) - but I really want to load into a library movieclip.
The problem is that I end up using these images in two different movies on the stage - each pulls from a movieclip in the library (that contains the image I want). So my original thought was simply to load (using loadClip()) into the library movie - which in turn would show up in the two stage movieclips that have this library clip in the timeline. However, I cannot seem to get loadClip() to work with a library object.
I tried exporting the library movieclip to actionscript (giving it a name) - but loadClip() doesn't seem to want to load into it. I can only get loadClip() to load into an instance that exists on the stage.
Sorry if I am asking a stupid question - I don't do a lot of flash programming - although I have extensive programming experience in other languages.
So can this be done? Is there another way to accomplish what I want to do?
I can easily load into an instance of a movieclip - but I don't want to load each image twice (into two different movieclips that I need to manipulate) - hence my desire to load into a single library object that end up having multiple instances on the stage.
My other thought was to load into an instance and then COPY that instance to the second instance. But I can't seem to find a way to copy one clip into another clip?
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Just to clarify, here is an example.
* I have several library movieclips (call them clip1, clip2, clip3... ) which contain a single frame with a JPG image in that frame.
* I have a library movieclip called bkgnd which has 10 frames in it. Each frame has an instance of the different clips above (e.g. frame 1 has clip1 in it, frame 2 has clip2 in it, frame 3 has clip3 in it etc). At run time, this move is manipulated through gotoAndStop() to display a particular image.
* I use this bkgnd library movieclip in TWO places on the real stage (two instances). Each is controlled through actionscript to display particular frames (particular images) through the gotoAndStop() method.
* I want to be able to load the individual images at runtime - my thought was to use loadClip() to load JPG files into the clip1, clip2, clip3... library clips. However, loadClip() doesn't seem to want to load into a library clip.

Thank you. I was able to use the bitmap class draw function to accomplish what I wanted.
It got pretty convoluted though. Used actionscript on instances of hidden movies to initiate the loading.
Had a loader bar on images when they are used - but wanted them to load asynchronously in the background (use the first while others are loading).
There are lots of little "gotchas" with this stuff, and while flash is very powerful, it is difficult to document / take apart. Because action script is all over the place and interacts in very funny ways, it can be very complicated to figure out how all the timelines mesh and what code is running when.
I have to say I am quite disappointed in a few items - one of which is that if you associate actionscript with a particular item on the stage (a movie clip), you don't see it highlighted in the timeline and you don't see it on the movie inspector. It is kind of hidden out there unless you know to look for it.
Anyway - thanks again. Definitely did the trick..... Warren

Loading CD's into the library

When I load a cd into the library it sometimes loads the music as individual songs and not the cd as a whole. Is there a way to load the cd so all the songs are listed under the cd not as individuals? Thank you for any suggestions.

You have an iTunes question, not an iPod question.

Everytime i open itunes, it has to reload all my songs into the library.

Everytime i try and open itunes, it asks me to agree to the licence agreement, then re-loads all my songs back into the library.
I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes but it still does it.
How do i fix this, is there a way of locking the songs into the library?

Why has no one replied to this question (asked loads of times by different people) Whats the solution!!!!!! Help!!!!

I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

Hi Dalegu219,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
From:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

After copying a movie to the harddisk of my MacBook I wanted to also copy it to my iPad, but for this you first have to copy it to the library in iTunes, but this doesn't seem to be working. So how can I get this movie to the library ? And to the iPad ?

How is it not working? And how are you doing it? Drag the movie onto the iTunes icon on the Dock... what happens?
