How do I move my home videos to Movies from the TV Shows category in iTunes?

In itunes on my iMac, most, but not all, of my home videos and homemade slide shows have been saved in the TV shows directory rather than the movies directory. I've tried to move them to the movies directory in iTunes, but they won't be moved. How can I move them, and then have the moves reflected on my iPad?

Select the shows in your TV Shows library. You can select several adjacent shows at once by holding the shift key. If they are not adjacent, hold the command key and click on each. Open the Multiple Item Info window (File menu > Get Info or type commamd + I). Select the "Options" tab. Check media kind and use the adjacent menu to select Movie. Cloick "OK" to save your changes. The shows should automatically move to the Movies library.

How do I move a home video to movies

I ripped some dvd's and they transfered to Home Video instead of Movie. When I sync my class ipod does not have a Home Video selection, so the movies does not show. This Home Video is new to me. HELP

See:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
I use the free HandBrake converter program.

How do I transfer my home videos and pictures from my iPad back to my desktop?

My desktop hardrive recently crashed. The only copies I have of my photos and home movies are on my iPad. I was able to transfer my music from my iPad to my new desktop but not my photos and home videos. Please help. Thanks

There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can transfer photos and videos from your iPad to your computer via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer. A backup would have been able to copy back the original non-'optimised' versions

How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone? For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others. example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music. To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd. How can I get itunes to recognize these songs? They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes. I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

HOW DO I MOVE HOME MADE VIDEOS THAT ARE IN MOVIES TO HOME VIDEO...

HOW DO I MOVE HOME MADE VIDEOS THAT ARE IN MOVIES TO HOME VIDEO. THIS PROBLEMS OCCURS IN WIN XP PRO OR MAC 10.6.8 CAN'T COPY AND PASTE, CAN'T IMPORT OR ADD TO LIBRARY; CAUSE IT IS ALREADY IN LIBRARY. I NOTICE THAT THESE SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED SINCE DEC 2012 AND NO ONE AND APPLY HAS NOT ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS. ANY IDEAS?!?!

Due to Hotmail Live being POP based there is limitations on it. Not much can be done to get these folders on iPhone till Hotmail Live switches to an IMAP format.
Posted below is the link to the Hotmail blog with what's coming etc. This is ran by Microsoft. So might be your best resource and place to try and reach them to submit feedback.

IPad Video app mixes Movies and Home Video Kinds

In iTunes I have videos that are of 'Video Kind' Movie and also 'Video Kind' Home Video. These show up nicely on the AppleTV, segregated according to their "Kind". On my iPad Air, however, the Video app mixes them all together under its heading of "Movies" when I use Home Sharing to access my iTunes Library from the iPad.
How can I get my Home Videos to be distinguished from my Movies on the iPad?
(And, is there any way to have the title show up on the thumbnail page? In combination I have thousands of shows and it's hard to tell what's what!)

Hello Brian,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue playing iTunes Store content on your iPad Air, and you’ve already tried restarting the device and syncing the movies a second time. If you haven’t already, try backing up and restoring the device as shown in the article linked below.

How can I send a home video via a text message?

Hello,
I had a video that I created on my camera and then transferred to my PC. Then I added it to iTunes Version 11. Then I converted it in iTunes from "Home Video" to "Movie". On my iPhone 4 (iOS7), I go to messages, hit camera icon and the video isn't there in my videos section. How can I move the video into the "Videos" section so that I can send this video via text message?
Thanks!
Jeff

Hello Chris Miller,
Of course I did. I certainly would not have suggested doing something I haven't tried to do myself. Would You? I wouldn't unless we are experimenting with something, but this is not the case here.
I also mentioned to lexlizandtay to watch the filesize.
Many ISP's have a 10 MB limit on sending or receiving emails.
I also said in my above post "Works for Me"......
I have a 3.8 MB Podcast that was downloaded straight from Apple. I can send this without any problems the way I mentioned above.
I also have other podcasts that I made myself using GarageBand or Quicktime that work just fine.
Give it a try.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you rent a movie on the Apple TV, then it can only be watched on the Apple TV. If you want to watch movies on multiple devices, you need to download it to your computer, where you can then transfer it to other devices or stream it to your Apple TV as well as watch it from your Mac.

Sounds like the wifi isn't processing the data fast enough for video streaming. Have you tried resetting your wifi hub ? Switch it off for a couple of minutes and then restart it. See if that makes any difference.

How to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

how to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

Emelie,
which plug-in do you want to install?
some of the plug-ins come with an installer on the disk image, you click the installer and it will install it in its proper location.
For others you move the plug-in into to System Library or your User Library:
Your Hard disk > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
or
Your Home Folder > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
If it is an "Edit" plug-in, it goes into the "Edit" subfolder, "Export" plug-ins into the "Export" subfolder.
You can tell by the extension, what kind of plug-in it is.
E.G. BorderFX.ApertureExport is an export plug-in, BorderFXEditPlugin.ApertureEdit an edit plug-in.
Regards
Léonie
