Customizing itunes for apple tv

Guy's I have been using Linux for 10 years so please bear with me.....I just bought a imac a souped up 4 gig beautiful machine , I also have apple tv .When I converted my tv shows from my dvd's into apple tv format how do I get them into the tv shows category on itunes they keep going to movies? I am ripping all my dvd's into apple tv format and want only those in Movies.
I can right click and put them into a folder yet they still stay in the movies category.
Any help at all would be appreciated.

Hi,
Right-click (ctrl-click) on the file in iTunes and select "Get Info" from the contextual menu.
Choose "Video" in the window that opens and select "TV Show" from the "Video Kind" selection.
With this method you can only change the files one at a time, but there is a great script from 'Doug's Applescripts for iTunes' site called "Set Video Kind of Selected v2" which will batch change - you can get it here - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/searchTheScripts.php

  • I have to relaunch itunes for apple tv home sharing to access library

    why is that i have to relaunch itunes every now and then for apple tv home sharing to access movie library
    itunes version 12.1
    ATV 3
    Mac mini 2014

    Problem solved – While looking elsewhere on the Internet, I ran across an article where a guy in Russia found that his security code for the credit card entered on his iTunes account was missing.
    After checking, I found my security code was missing as well. After I reentered my credit card security code, I was able to log on to the iTunes Store and also able to turn on  Home Sharing.
    I HOPE The Apple  iTunes accounts were not hacked into.  That could be a reason for the security codes beinging erased by Apple.

  • HT4623 How do I update iOS 6.1.3 software with no wifi or iTunes for apple iPhone 5 ?

    I have a apple 5 iPhone and I can not update the iOS 6.1.3 software because I do not have wifi and my iTunes is not set up because I don't have wifi , how can I update this software through the apple site?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • I have to restart iTunes for Apple TV to work

    When I first go to iTunes, set it to transmit to Apple TV (2nd), the audio is not sent to my receiver until I exit iTunes and restart it.  Then it works.  Also, setting my iPhone to AirPlay/Apple TV doesn't take the first time either.  I have to switch AirPlay to iPhone, then back to Apple TV, and then it works.  Anyone know what's up with all of this?

    Go to;
    -System Preferences
    -Security & Privacy
    -Firewall-Unlock to Make Changes
    -Advanced
    -Untick 'Log Out After XXX Minutes of Activity or Enter a Figure of Maximum Minutes You Think You Will Use Your Apple TV

  • I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs.

    I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit.  I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused.  Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be  and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor

    "The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
    You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
    Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.

  • I CAN NOT BELIEVE APPLE OFFERS NO PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ITUNES USERS!

    I have been unable to access my purchased music on my new computer (the old one crashed before I could back up my purchased itunes music). I clicked "check for purchases," and received one of several television shows I purchased and NONE of the dozons of songs and albums. When I clicked "check for purchases" again, a box came up that said "all purchases have been downloaded for this account." Does Apple really not allow you to recover your purchased music in this situation? Does Apple really put profits ahead of customer satisfaction to the extent that they've eliminated phone customer service for itunes altogether? Well, I know the answer to the second question from research is yes. How sad. But can anyone help me with the first Q? Is all my purchased music really gone permanently? Thanks. -Matt

    Hi, Matt.
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups.
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/backup/
    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Can someone please help me with my security.  For some reason when I go to download from my itunes account, apple is asking me to verify my ID by asking me questions that are simply not relevant to me.  How do I change the questions?

    When I go to download from my iTunes account, it has started to say that I have to verify my ID.  When only last week I was able to download ok.  The questions it asks me are not relevant to me and I need to know how to reset the questions.   For example, it asks who is my favourite teacher?  I am over 50 years old and have not been in a classroom for almost 40 years, so I would not have ever answered a question like that in the first place as I would not know a name of a teacher.  Any clues anyone?

         1.  Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
         3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

  • Rate Apple customer service for me

    I'm a new user and finding Apple customer service very un-responsive to resolving a problem I had with an unrecognized charge to my account. Account has been disabled and I have no access while they "investigate." I have given new credit card but that isn't speeding things up. All for a $1.29 charge! I'm not impressed but stuck with them if I want to keep my iPhone! In general, is there usually satisfaction with Apple? Or is there general dissatisfaction with their customer svc responses?

    Apple has been rated #1 in customer service for a few years now.
    With millions of iTunes customers, ther are bound to be some that have issues.
    Usually they are pretty good about getting things sorted out. Respond to the previous email you received and give it 48 hours for a response.

    You did call/write your CC company and dispute this charge, correct?

  • Can you make custom ringtone for iPhone 4 w/o using iTunes?

    My computer crashed and I had to redownload iTunes and all my music the other day. I plugged my iPhone 4 in to put a custom ringtone I made in iTunes on it and it says it wants to "erase and sync" my phone since it was connected to my old iTunes. Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to make a new custom ringtone for my iphone without using iTunes?

  • I am so frustrated and can't get Apple to help. I have charges on my bank statement for Apple ITunes and they occur every day or so. I've removed my credit card number but they continue. How can I stop these?  My bank says I have to contact apple.

    Please help. How can I get Apple to stop charging my bank for purchases. They are showing up every other day. I removed my credit card number from my account. That has not helped.
