How to move movies from an old library?

I am consolidating two copies of my iTunes library. One copy has movies that the other does not. I am decommissioning the old library. How do I move the movies from the old library to the new library?

iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Make sure the iTunes media folder location is set to where you want.
Tick Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library.
iTunes menu File > Library > Organize library > Consolidate.
This will copy any files in iTunes, which are outside of the iTunes media folder set above, to this folder.

Locate the movie files, open the new library, and drag them into the open iTunes application window.

I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems.

How do I play all my Movies from the iTunes' Library?

How do I play all the Movies from within my LIBRARY without having to click PLAY everytime on each individual movie? All my movies in the Library have the check marks on them already.
When I play my "Music" LIBRARY, as soon as a song is over the next one starts up. Fine. Great! But, the same is not happening from within my "Movies" LIBRARY.
This play-all-Movies type of action works fine from within each of my playlists. Once selected a movie to play from any playlist, other movies will keep on playing, one after another, until told to stop. But, I also would like to play all movies from my library.
It would seem redundant to copy my entire library into a single playlist just to have this function available. Besides, every time I would add a new movie to the library, I would also have to remember to add it to said playlist.
Could anyone, please, tell me if it is possible to play all movies from within the LIBRARY? (iTunes v.8.01).

Thanks for your prompt reply, Meg. I've applied exactly your "smart playlist" directions (always wondered what that "smart playlist" was for while it worked wonders! Great going.

how do i transfer a movie from my old hp desktop to a macbook pro?
On my old computer I had two movies: Fight Club and Garden State and I'd really like to watch them on my new MacBook Pro! But I dont know how to transfer them onto my new laptop help?!

Right-click them in iTunes, locate the files, move them as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store rentals can only be moved through an iPod or similar device.

HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update? My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching. Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library. Music works, but no movies. I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy. Is there a way to roll back an update?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Movies from my old pc

Hi,
I am a brand new user of Apple products and am still finding my way around stuff.
I have purchased mcbook pro + apple tv and now I have transferred the movies from my old pc to my mcbook and I am able to watch them on the mcbook. But when I connect aTV to my mcbook and try to add my old movies to the itunes library so that I can watch via aTV it only transfers 4 files out of 11 to the library and I am able to only watch these 4 through aTV.
Can someone help or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

I can't drag a movie from my iTunes library on my new computer to my iPad.

I can't drag a movie from my iTunes library on my new computer to my iPad. Supposedly the computer isn't authorized but when I go to authorization it says it already is. All my old movies that I migrated will drag over just not the new download ones I just downloaded. Any suggestions?

Are you able to sync the movies in the iTunes Library from the Movies pane in iTunes?

Apple TV (Gen 2&3) takes several hours to load a movie from the iTunes Library

I know this had been discussed before, but a went through all posts that I could find and never found a solution. I will list below everything I have tried and if anyone else has ANY ideas I would be extremely greatful to hear them! To reiterate the issue any time I try to play a movie from MY iTunes library it takes several hours before it will even start playing. Now, to what I have already tried...
1. I cycled my router first and after that didn't work I completely took it back to default settings. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme
2. I completely uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled it with full library, and then I also tried with just one movie in my library that I know used to work. My home computer is a Windows 7 PC.
3. I restarted my Apple TV, and also bought a Gen. 3 Apple TV and tried it new out of the box.
4. I have tried to stream on both WiFi and hooked up to an Ethernet Cable.
5. I have tried with all firewalls turned off on the PC and router.
6. I have ended home sharing on all devices and restarted home sharing on just the Apple TV and PC.
7. I have turned off all devices using WiFi in the home.
That is all I can think of off hand so if you have any other ideas please do not hesitate to chime in so I can try something else. Do know that my Apple TV used to not have any issues and worked great since I irst purchased the Gen. 1 Apple TV.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I just purchased the Apple TV software 5.0. Apple TV is working other than downloading movies. I have been trying to download one movie for the past two days. I have a wireless network, using AT&T DSL. I have tested the connection using the test option in the Settings area of the Apple TV, which passes.
I have also tried rebooting my Apple Tv and turned off all other wireless options. I am able to download Netflix movies using the PS3 without a problem, why not on my Apple TV. I hope I didn't just purchase this device to stream music and photos.
I hope someone has a solution to this problem.
By the way I just upgraded my modem and router (Airport Extreme).
Thanks for the help!!!!

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

Apple TV won't load or play movies from my MBP library (through both airplay and homesharing), but will from my mac mini. Help!

I have been using my apple TV seamlessly with all my apple products (Mac Mini, iphone, MBP, ipad). Everything worked perfectly until recently (I noticed the issue about 3 weeks ago), when the apple TV won't load and play any movies from my iTunes library located on my MBP. The Library loads, and I can see everything, but as soon as I press play, the spinning load icon appears and doesn't stop. Same when I play movie from itunes directly and send it via airplay. Desktop mirroring no problem.
I have checked, and films are being played perfectly from my other devices, as does airplay and mirroring

Hello Tourneurm,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
This article might be of use for your issue.
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Section 8 seems to be most applicable.
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.

How do I import playlists from an old library file?

How do I import playlists from an old library file?
I have a new computer and it has the music files completely reorganized from my last computer so I can't just drop in my old library files and have it work. Basically, I'm hoping there is some way to recover my old playlists from my old backed up copy of my music library without recreating my old jumbled file paths and just using my old library.

Backup the current passwords with the Password Exporter extension.
Then you can re-import them afterward.
For restoring the names and passwords from Firefox 3.5.x and later you need the file signons.sqlite from the old profile.
You also need the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] that stores the encryption key in addition to the signons file.
Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
For the bookmarks to need to do something similar unless you have a HTML backup of the old bookmarks because restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks.
If you need to preserve current bookmarks then you can export your bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file and import that file afterward.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML & Import HTML > From File
Another possibility is to use the clipboard to store selected bookmarks before restoring a JSON backup (e.g. All Bookmarks: Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C).
You can paste the bookmarks from the clipboard back after you have restored a JSON backup.
That will preserve all data including tags and annotations, but you should create an HTML backup to be safe.
