How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

I have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

You can't. Kindle is a different ecosystem than iTunes. Generally, you choose your book ecosystem and you stick with it or you have books in both (or in several).
There is a Kindle app for the iPad and iPhone that is just as good (and in my opinion substantially better) than the Apple iBook app.
Most purchased books (but not all) have Digital Rights Management that prevent them from being shared or moved easily. Books purchased on iTunes are meant to be used on your iPad with iBooks. Books purchased on Amazon Kindle are meant to be used on your Kindle apps.

HT1473 When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How do I get iphone contacts into new empty itunes?

My old iphone died and I moved across to the iphine 4 by transferring the sim. Now my mac at home doesn't support the new version of itunes that I need to run the new phone off, so I've intsalled it at work. How to I transfer all of my contacts into itunes? I transfered the music because it's all purchased - but if I sync the phone with the itunes everything will eb erased - is it possible to do the reverse?

You don't put contacts into itunes. itunes is a media management program, not and address book.
You sync them to your computers contact program via itunes.
Where are your contacts now?
Iphone does not save to SIM.

HT5295 How do I get podcasts back into itunes in ios6?

I updated to IOS6 yesterday and found that podcasts had been removed from iTunes and put into the new Podcasts app. Having spent a day using this app, I have found it to be terrible: it's slow (podcasts take 10-20 seconds to start after I select them - and these are podcasts I've already downloaded, no streaming), the "next" button takes you to an older podcast rather than a newer one like in itunes, for some reason it decided I hadn't listened to about 40 podcasts that I had definitely listened to, the interface is unresponsive, etc. I went from having a pleasant podcast experience in IOS5 to a terrible one in IOS6. Does anyone know how to get podcasts back into iTunes, or if that's not possible, can anyone recommend a podcast app that works as smoothly as iTunes did in IOS5?
Thanks!

I've just now stumbled into this briar patch with my 4th Gen IPod Touch. Have only used it to date for music, and it's worked fine.
I would LOVE to add podcasts. I'm able to download them to my iTunes PC files, but the pre-loaded 'music' app doesn't seem to want to play them. I've downloaded the Podcast App, but it's for the IOS series 7.
There are a number of suggestions on line regarding how Apple had recognized this problem and had finally made previous versions available "underneath" the App Store Podcast icon . . . but nothing seems to work.
Did Apple turn around and remove the older Podcast App versions?
Does anyone know how to get Podcast functionality for a 4th gen IOS 6 series? This seems like a basic function for an iPod!

How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app. I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible. Here is one thing that happens...when I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos. But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before. There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one. And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty. The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos.
Can anyone straighten out this mess? The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

Drag them into the library folder.

Computer Crashed,how do I get music back into itunes w/o erasing Ipod?

My computer crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive. I was able to save all of my music on cd, and it is all still currently on my Ipod. I have downloaded Itunes again, but how do I upload all the music on my ipod into Itunes without it automatically erasing my Ipod when I plug it in? Am I able to save my play lists when I reload my music to Itunes?
Dell PC Windows XP

If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
While you can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, if you want to check this out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from an iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward and will copy songs and playlists.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

How to i get an ibook into itunes

How do I get a book i purchased from ibooks to go into itunes?

What do you mean 'go into iTunes' ? If the account that you bought it with is authorised on your computer's iTunes then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library - if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on then you can add it to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library.
Or are you trying to do something else ?

HT1296 How do I get iPhone contacts into iCloud

I have 213 contacts on my phone that I scanned in using ScanBizCards app. Unknowingling, I had my settings set to Default Account On My Phone instead of iCloud.
How do I get the 213 contacts off my phone into iCloud?
When I go into info via iTunes, it says contacts are syncing over iCloud, but it is not picking up the 213 that were just scanned in.... HELP? I don't want to have to add them one by one.

Hey jjwilson98,
The easiest way is to turn off the contacts in iCloud section in settings. Remember to keep data. After that it is turned off, just turn it back on to merge data and you will be set.

My computer crashed, i have my library on an external drive, so how do i get it back into itunes?

Okay so my dad keeps refusing to get a new computer, or a separate laptop for me. Iritatingly, it continues to crash so severely that the hardrive has been wiped clean and restored at least 4 times. Ridiculous. Luckily, I was able to save my library from 9/4/11 on an external drive, but i have no idea how to get it back onto itunes now. Seriously, its a problem because my actual ipod was stolen, ergo i cannot load it from that. What do i do.

This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

How do I get music files into iTunes?

I am switching from a PC, and have downloaded my music files from my cloud site. I seem to be able to drag the digital files from Finder into iTunes, but not the ones I scanned in from CDs. I guess they're Windows media files. What is my next move?

Do you still have the PC (or *a* PC)? Itunes for *Windows* will import WMA files and convert them to a supported format. Follow the instruction here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1844
You can then copy the new files to your Mac.
This capability is not built into iTunes for Mac, so if you don't have access to a PC, you'll need a third party utility, eg:

(disclaimer: I'm not personally familiar with this utility).

How Do I Get ID3 Ratings Into iTunes?

I have a very large MP3 library and I have my song ratings embedded into the ID3 tags. iTunes (10.6) does not recognize those ratings. Does anyone know how to make those ratings visible to iTunes?
Thanks,
Mike

I believe this script might do it: mm_rating_to_itunes
Can't say I've tested it myself, but I've explored some of his other scripts and they work as advertised. Although he mentions MediaMonkey it should apply equally well regardless of which application was used to write to the id3 rating field.
