Can't see movie playlists in ATV section of iTunes

I created a playlist of home movies in iTunes 8.2.1, using ATV files made with QT Pro. The playlist has a music icon.
When I look in the ATV movie section on iTunes, I don't see the playlist as a selectable item for syncing (I'm using custom sync for all categories). I also don't see the playlist in the ATV music section. If I add the playlist to a folder, it then shows up in the music section, but can not be selected.
I'm using ATV software 2.3.1 which should have this capability. Also using OS 10.4.11, and everything else with ATV works fine, including playing the movies if they not in playlists.
Appreciate any help. Ron

Chenks-
Yes, on ATV I have "All" playlists enabled.
I upgraded to ATV 2.4 and have the same settings.
I now see that in iTunes 8.2.1, the movie section for ATV does have a choice box for sync selected, but it's either "movies" or "playlists" separately. There does not appear to be a choice for movies and playlists combined, in case I wanted to select just a couple of playlists.
It seems to be all or nothing. Is this the way it's designed? If so, I hope Apple will add another choice for movies in the next ATV or iTunes update (the way it works for music playlists & folders).

  • ATV still can't play movie playlists?

    I tried to make a playlist of movies (m4v format) that I converted from Handbrake.
    Then I choose to sync both the movies and playlist to my ATV.
    But on the movie part, I still can't see the playlist.
    What's wrong?
    Shouldn't the 2.3 update play the movie playlist already?
    Or simply it still can't play the playlists that I converted myself, only play those purchased from iTunes?
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    This doesn't really contribute anything but....
    Music video playlists and playlists for short TV shows (eg kids cartoons) I can understand, but I can't personally envisage needing a movie playlist - what do you need it for? Is it say for watching Star Wars I-VI consecutively or something along a 'movie party' line?
    Even with TV shows so long as they're grouped properly can't see it takes more than a couple of secs to select the next episode.
    Maybe it's because I'm not a big playlist user (even for music) in the first place.

  • Can't see movie rental options on my 1st generation AppleTV.

    Can't see movie rental options on my 1st generation Apple TV.   Everything was fine until last night.   Music, photos and YouTube access via Apple TV are working fine.   I've checked for software updates, have the latest version of iTunes and have rebooted everything.   Any thoughts?

    Hi Fenway_Fan,
    I am experiencing the same problem.  At the same time, I noticed that the movies I have on the hard drive keep hanging up during playback.  Today, I took the ATV 1 all the way back to factory settings, and then set it up again.  Same result.  I only see My Movies Trailers under the movie menu.  And trailers does not work.  If you highlight it, it moves the highlight right back to My Movies.  I loaded 2 movies back on the ATV1.  They still hangup during playback.  And even though I reconnected my iMac, I cannot stream movies to the ATV1 either.  My library shows up in settings, but I can see no movies through the ATV1.
    Did Apple change something?  I can't imagine what else would make all these changes seemingly overnight.  One day it worked and the next it didn't. 

  • HT204382 how can i see movies in quicktime?

    How can I see movies in Quicktime?

    You can try buying an adapter that'll plug into the docking port (where you plug in the sync cable), and it'll have a cord with it thats a three banded 1/8th inch (like a headphone jack but with three black rings on it. On the other end will be RCA cables (the red, white and yellow video cables.)
    Plug those into your tv, change your tv to that source and see if you can see the movie.
    Works fir my iPod touch, so should for the iPad. And can be cheaper than the apple tv.

  • Can I see what Playlist my song is in by holding Option

    I just read in Mac Life mag that using Address Book I can hold the option key and see what groups a contact is in - they are highlighted in Yellow. Cool, so how can I see what Playlist my Song is in using iTunes? I bet this would be a fantastic feature and one millions of people would welcome. What do you say - is there a way? A secret way?

    Hi John,
    Control click the track/Show in Playlist. Might be able to right click also depending on your mouse.

  • I can't see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation)

    I can’t see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation), but I can see and play them on the iTunes on my laptop. What do I do?

    Hi lone_dreamr,
    This is going to depend on how you are syncing music to your iPod nano. If you are automatically syncing, what option do you have selected in this menu? (Entire music library, or Selected content)
    You may want to uncheck the "Sync Music" box, apply the changes, then recheck the box, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • On my i-pod, the image is stuck on album cover and I can't see my playlist, but the music still playsr

    On my i-pod, when I use i-tunes, the image is stuck on one album cover when I open i-tunes and I can't see my playlist. However, I can still play music on it. MC

    When the iPod shows the connect to iTunes cren the iPod is already erased.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Do the download before restoring from iTunes backup

  • How can i see movie from my mac to tv

    how can i see movie from my macpro in to tv screen

    Its not clear what MacPro you have.   If it is a newer one then the thunderbolt adapter will work.  If it's like mine, a 2008 model then you may face some issues.
    If your MacPro is older and has DVI outputs for video then you are going to have to either use a TV with DVI in or get a DVI to HDMI or DVI to VGA, whatever your TV will accept as input.
    Also if you have to go this way the DVI doesn't contain audio so you'd need another cable to move audio from your MacPro to your TV.   So this could get complicated. There might be some easier solutions.
    As mentioned you might be able to airplay it to an apple TV if you have one.

  • HT1535 so I've done all that and I still can't add a playlist I've created in iTunes to the iPod...?

    I've followed the instructions to tell the iPod that I want to manage music and video manually, but I still can't add a playlist I've created in iTunes to the iPod...

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Do i have to have internet to use home sharing on my computer so i can watch my movies on my tv from my itunes library?

    do i have to have internet to use home sharing on my computer so i can watch my movies on my tv from my itunes library?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

    How can I see how many songs I have in iTunes 11?

    If you go to the "Songs" tab, then from the menu select View > Show Status Bar, this will bring up the status bar like iTunes 10 had that tells you how many songs are there, total time of all the songs, and total file size of all the songs.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. 
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
