Can I archive tv shows and movies?

I need to make room in my harddrive. I've saved all my itunes library to Time Machine on an external disk but I have a lot of tv series and a few movies. I'm wondering if they're the reason I'm running out of space. Can I archive them? If I trash some of them, will I be able to bring them back from my external? Just in case should I burn some series to dvd disks?
Thanks, Tzipora

If you delete them from the drive, they will eventually get removed from the TM backup.
You can get another external and put the iTunes library on there and have it backed up to the TM backup drive.

Have you tried restarting the router, the Apple TV and iTunes.

Where can I get tv show and movie content to download to my Pre?

Since I can't buy and sync tv shows and movies from iTunes to my Pre due to the DRM protection, where can I get similar content on the web that I can buy, download and copy to my Pre in USB mode, and that will then play on my Pre? I've looked around, searched on google, but nothing comes up. I can buy and download TV episodes on Amazon video on demand but the Pre isn't one of their supported video players. There must be sites that I can use?? This is the one thing that I want to get working on my Pre as I've solved most of my other issues, and am very happy with my Pre, with this one exception. Please help!
Thanks.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Thanks. I did check out Sprint TV but it's pretty limited compared to iTunes TV and movies. I did find a video format converter for the Pre called Videora Palm Pre converter but I haven't tried it on anything yet because I'm still looking for download sites. I'm going to try it on an Amazon download. I found a subscription site but I'd rather find a site where I can buy programs one at a time.
There must be some sites out there - I've tried torrent sites but usually you can only download entire series of multiple Gb not individual episodes.
Any further advice on this would be appreciated.

I can't find tv shows and movies in ITunes music store

Look under "Inside the Music Store" on the left side of the iTMS homepage. "TV Shows" is at the bottom of that section. Clicking that will take you the TV Shows page on the iTMS.

HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.

I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content. I no longer can.

There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

How do I completely dump all my old downloaded tv shows and movies? Can't get the 'x' to appear on most of them after attempting to edit

How do I completely erase all the old tv shows and movies from my IPad? Have to plow through so many to find the ones I want to watch. Edit and x doesn't work on most of them and I don't want to store them in ICloud

The files are also saved as .m4v . I don't know what this means but for example, a tv show that won't play in iTunes 10.4.1 (10) is Isobel.m4v
Please help me!!!

I'm not too sure what is wrong. I use to be able to watch my HD shows and movies on iTunes with my Macbook pro, but now I can't. Help?

Yeah. Like the question states. I use to be able to watch my TV Shows and Movies in HD, but now it ain't working and I blame Maverick!!! UGH! LOL But anything helpful to suggest? That'd be awesome.

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

How to hide/show and move screenelements at runtime

Hi Guys
    Currently, i have a requirment that, in the same screen, when user choose different different option in the dropdown list, there should be different screenelements and table control with different columns showing below it.
Now, i have two plans below:
1), hide/show and move position of screen elements and table control at runtime
2), call different subscreen
I hope i can take the first way since the second way will modify structure of program ( As it is infotype screen ), any one knows how to implement the first solution?

Hi,
I would suggest you to call different subscreens and load them dynamically based on your parameters.Since different subscreen are called your coding and functionality could also be seperated by writing in the PAI and PBO of the correspondiong Screens.
if you have decided to go by your first method then try the below code.
a) if it is normal UI elements like text box etc
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF <var> = ' value '.
        screen-invisible = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
endif
ENDLOOP.
Here <var> refers to the screen field name and value refers to its value.
b) To hide columns in a Table control.
DATA cols LIKE LINE OF tc-cols.
LOOP AT tc-cols INTO cols.
    IF cols-screen-group1 = 'G1'.
      cols-invisible = 'X'. "HIDE THIS COLUMN
      MODIFY tc-cols
      FROM cols
      TRANSPORTING invisible.
    ENDIF.
    CLEAR cols.
ENDLOOP.
PS: here TC refers to the name of the table control.
Lemme know if you face any problems.
Cheers,
RK

How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

How to transfer t.v. shows, and movies from my laptop to my Ipad

How can I transfer t.v. shows and movies from my laptop to my ipad?

They have to be in a compatible format first. Then all u hav to do is point itunes to the file, add it to the library, then just drag it to the ipad.

Mavericks + Quicktime and forced subtitles in TV Shows and movies

I have noticed that when I now open a TV Show or a movie from my external drive (M4V files) forced subtitles will not show. They don't even appear in the subtitles menu so I can manually enable them.
I usually use Subler to edit my shows and movies' metadata and add SRT subtitles after I download them. This has worked flawlessly in my Mac and my iPhone until I updated to Mavericks, so it must be related.
However, if the subtitle track is not checked, Quicktime automatically enables it (I suppose that's because default audio in OS X is Spanish but the audio track in the file is English). I'm not sure if VLC has changed its behaviour too (That would be strange, but forced subtitles don't appear either).
I have over 355 GB of TV Shows and about 2,1 TB of movies that I wouldn't want to edit, so is there any solution to this, like a hidden preference I hae not found yet? Thanks in advance!

You can also spend a few days searching for "creating custom screen graphics for movies." Try youtube but you wil lfind better stuff on vimeo. Many fo the motiongraphics forums have discusssion areas where artists will share their methods. Lopok carefully for behind the scenes features and docos created by the artists.
However, After Effects is only where the animation happens. You design and previsualize your effects in other applications. Well, there are some fabulous presets you can purchase but, of course, they are relatively expensive. Once your familiarity with AE goes beyond the most basic stuff, you wil appreciate why presets and effects packages cost what they do.

Editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac. Does anyone know how to do this?

iTunes 12.1.0.50
late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.10.2
I can no longer edit or add the track information for tv shows and movies. If, for example, there are 26 episodes of a tv show in a season and I want to edit their entries in iTunes to reflect 1 of 26, 2 of 26, 3 of 26, and so on, how do I do that? With the 12.1 update, they took away the old info box. Very irritating.

The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.
So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).
Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Subler to edit movies/TV shows.

Where are the TV Shows and Movies

Hi Everyone,
Newbie Mac user here....
Where are the tv-shows and movies that were announced today? When I pull the i-Tunes store I can only see music related downloads.
Is this feature available in Canada?
Thanks!

No; TV shows and movies are currently only available in the US. Apple says it hopes to take movies international in 2007.
