Changing from "Movie" to "TV Show" - iTunes8

I was just transferring a few files this week, and downloaded iTunes8 last night. 7 used to have a dropdown under the "Video" tab in "Get Info". It's no longer there, and my files are defaulting to "Movie", when I want them to be "TV Shows".
Did it move? Did Apple decide they want them all to be movies?

Hi,
Try:
Highlight the File you wish to change.
Right Click.
Get Info>Options>drop down menu, Media Kind.
This Option is what you wish to change it to, not what it is already.

Can "New" Corner Banner Be Removed From Movies and TV Shows?

After loading 7 seasons of The Big Bang Theory on iTunes 11, I see that iTunes has now slapped a Blue "New" banner on the upper right corner of all my new season titles of The Big Bang Theory (see attached photo) …. and I also see that after loading the TV Shows to my iPhone, that now the iPhone TVShow listing has a little blur indicator, showing the number of "New" episodes in each season.
The question is …. is there any way to eliminate the iTunes Blue "New" banner, thus also eliminating the blue oval notices on my iPhone as well?

I am not sure how to do that. I have it only in itunes at present. Can I access it other ways?
You burn them as you would any other data file on your computer. I'm using a different OS version than you so specifics probably won't help. Therei's probably a way in finder to create a burn folder, add items to it, then burn them to disc.
Also - how do I burn movies and tv shows onto disc to watch on a dvd player in our lounge room? help please
Niel answered this one already. You can't. They are protected against being played any other way than Apple approves.

How Do I change a Video Tag from Movie to TV Show in iTunes 8?

There used to be a drop down menu in the Video tab, but that is gone. Thanks!

If you right-click on the video and choose "Get Info," choose the "Options" tab at the top of the info window and from there you can change the media kind to "TV Show," "Movie," or "Music Video."

Changing multiple movies to TV shows.

Hey guys
I've got a large amount of movies from the same series (200+), and i'd like to change them to TV Shows under iTunes.
However, right clicking > get info > etc, can only be done one by one, something that i would not be very keen for.
I've searched around, and i've found a script or too for this function, but it only applies to macs.
Does anyone here know a workaround for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using an excellent freeware program, MetaX (http://www.kerstetter.net/page53/page54/page54.html) for bulk tagging.

Moving video from "movie" to "TV shows" in Itunes

When you download a show into Itunes (not purchased from Itunes), it seems to go right into "movies" in your Ipod and Itunes. How can I move them into "TV Shows"? Drag and drop does not seem to work. Thank you!

Have you tried selecting the video in iTunes, Get Info>Video>Video Kind and changing it to TV Show?

What changed from Movi 4.2 to Jabber 4.4 on port connections?

We rolled out Movi 4.2 telepresence Callway clients back in February and had very little trouble with firewalls.
We are now trying to roll out Jabber 4.4 telepresence Webex and users are having trouble activating and if they get activated their audio and video don't work.
Did something change with the new Webex/Jabber 4.4 registration and stream ports?

There is no way to convert the files.
The best you can do is go back to your 4.2 version on your other partition and export the data out and then import into the 6.2 version.
You would go to calendar file export export the data, then contacts export data and so on and so forth than import the files into 6.2
I can't give any recommendations on using 4.2 on Windows 7 all testing I have done is with Palm desktop 6.2 which was designed to work with Vista and since Windows 7 is basically Vista 2.0 it only makes since to continue with that version.

Moving a file in itunes from movies to TV shows.

when I import an mp4 file which has been made usable by apple TV it always goes in the movies folder. Try as I might, I cannot find out how to transfer it to the TV Shows folder.
Can anyone help?

That's fine, thank you.
I can't imagine why I didn't discover that.
Perfect! Does all i want now.

Movies and TV shows sync with Itunes. TV shows disappear.

OK-
PLEASE be gentle. I am, new to the Ipad3 and even newer to Apple/Itunes in general.
I have a TON of TV shows that i already personally own. I want to load these on my Ipad. OK, seems simple enough. NOPE.
If i just drag them over to the "MOVIES" tab under my device in Itunes, the shows load fine and I can watch them on my Ipad. However, The Ipad will only play 1 title and then stop. Thats pretty stupid, especially because I am using the Ipad on a business trip hooked up to my hotel TV for when i go to sleep. I have to get up every 20 minutes ti press play again.
So i read a tutorial to highlight all of the TV Shows and RIGHT click them and change them (meida kind) from movie to "tv show." Great, i do that, they change to TV SHOWS and they show up in Itunes under my device, under TV shows. BUT- where the heck are these TV shows on my IPAD?? I click "VIDEOS" and all i get are the MOVIES that i uploaded to the ipad. I do NOT see any of the TV shows. Where the HECK to i go to watch TV shows on the IPAD???
Thanks in advance for any help. And remember, please be gente. Dumb this down to a lifetime Microsoft user. lol.

Hi Johnathan-
I appreciate your reply. Thank You.
I *dont* have another category under videos.
When I click the "VIDEOS" icon on the main screen, It just brings me to a list of my movies. There is no other option other than VIDEOS. I see *no* "TV shows" option anywhere.
Am i really THIS dumb? and why does Itunes have Soooooo many freaking restrictions? Itunes alone is making me regret the purchase and return the Ipad. Every time i plug this thing in somewhere Itunes warns me that it is going to sync and erase whats on my ipad with whats on my computer (or vice versa). Its getting a little silly.
Anyway, for the life of me, I can not get this thing to recognize TV SHOWS. If i load the TV shows into the MOVIES folder, fine. all is great. TV shows show up and i can play them. but when the TV shows go into the TV shows tab they disappear.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

Itunes 7.1 deleted all movies and tv shows from ipod!

Just updated Itunes to 7.1 - and found out too late that both movies and tv shows were suddenly unchecked for the sync. I've always had them on auto sync before this and did not change any settings.
So when I synched for the first time with 7.1, I lost my 20gb of videos from the ipod (60gb). Extremely annoying.
They're still in the library but it will take hours to get them back to the ipod.
Anybody else got this? Is this a bug on 7.1 or did I just do something wrong?

How do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive. Make sure they have copied. Delete them from iTunes. Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes. This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again. See also: iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Exporting movie fr FinalCut to QT - framerate changes from 29.97 to 28.47

I'm exporting a movie from Final Cut 4 to Quicktime 7.0.4 and the frames per second (fps) are changing from the intended 29.97 to 28.47, and I don't know why.
I'm exporting it in the highest quality (animation) for the finished film. It exports into QT at 17gigs. When I open "Show Movie Info" under the window tab, it says the fps is 28.47, but then if I drag the film (file) back into Final Cut it's 29.97 again, but that doesn't help me.
Any thoughts?

The frame rate shouldn't change at export.
Leave the Movie Info window opened while you play the file. You'll notice two settings:
FPS:
Playing FPS:
Which shows the oddball frame rate? Does the playing rate change during playback?
Does your export include a timecode track (Movie Properties window)?

Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?
