Have lots of DVD movies, can I add them to iTunes to watch on my apple TV?

I have lots of DVD movies, can I add them to my Itunes so I can play them on my apple TV? How do I do it?
Thx

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie from the iTunes Stores. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Not all digital copies are redeemable in the iTunes Store, and some may have expired.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
Regards.

  • I have several audio books now I can't find them on iTunes.

    I have audiobooks and now I can't find them on iTunes. They don't show up on purchased. Help

    They should be in your library and also should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • I have many hours of home movies copied years ago to DVDs. Can I edit them using iMovie? All the Help instructions assume that you will be transferring info from cameras.

    Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac.  $79.  I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie.  Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
    BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.

  • I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads but have not found answer.  help!

    I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists.  My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6.  I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone.  I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists.  Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes.  However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes.  I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists.   I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show.  Please help me.  I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists.  Thank you!

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

    I don't think that you can. Yahoo's basic email features do not include mail forwarding.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • TS1717 i have lost three movies trying to wach them on itunes after downloaded with windows 7

    I Have lost movies that Ive downloadded onn itunes trying to play them on windows 7. It shuts itunes down each time.

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

    Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

    No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • Inbox says I have 2 messages.  I can't see them. What should I do?

    Inbox says I have 2 messages.  I can't see them.  What should I do?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    I miss a lot of tools, how can I get them?
    I do have an activation code etc.
    Most of the tools have this little arrow thingy below which has to lead you to more options, but I don't have any of these options. Someone here who knows what I can do?
    I already re-installed.

    Which application does this concern?  Have you tried posting in the product forum for this?

  • I can't add ringtones into itunes 12

    hi, i just bought a new computer got my itunes 12 downloaded, than took me 2 days to download all my music, apps, movies, ect from itunes store back to my computer. than i had made some ringtones as .m4r files, but i can't drag them into itunes!!!!!! after i draged them into itunes, it appeared in the music lib, but not the ringtone lib, and i can't add them anyway doesn't matter if i change the file into .m4r or .m4a or .mp3, they all appeared in the music lib, and even if i sync my iphone with it, it will appear in my music but i can't see any of them in the settings=>sound=>ringtone.
    even i deleted all the ringtone in itunes which was only one that was brounght on my phone (didn't know how it get there, i got other ringtones i purchased in my iphone, but they didn't got into itunes)
    so here are two main questions:
    1: how to add customised ringtone into itunes 12
    2: how to add ringtones purchased from iphone into itunes 12

    thank you, i tried them b4, not working.
    but now the problem solved. i did the following:
    1: change my itunes language settings back to english ( it was chinese b4)
    2: close itunes than re open it
    3: i downloaded a ringtone app on my iphone to allow me to customise the songs into ringtones on my iphone
    4: sync my iphone
    5: find the ringtones under my iphone's app in itunes sync
    6: copy the tones in my computer
    7:drag them back to my itunes ringtone lib,
    all done~~~~ it took a few step, but at least it worked.
    tried the change file format thing again, still not working

  • I have just rented a movie on i tunes. How do i watch it? where is it?

    I have just rented a movie on i tunes. How do i watch it? where is it?

    You've rented a film from Amazon, not the iTunes store ?
    If it is from iTunes then it should be in the Movies part of your library - if you have iTunes 11 installed then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, and on that sidebar there should be a Movies section (if Movies doesn't show then go into iTunes > Preferences, command-comma, and make sure that Movies is ticked on the General tab).
    If you've rented it from Amazon then you may want to try the Amazon help pages (I'm in the UK so we don't have it) e.g. Amazon instant video help or watching online.
