  • How to import movies into itunes

    Hi All,
    Here i am using Ipod touch, nw i am trying to add the movies into itunes but nothing is happening when i drag the movie into itubes and even added also.
    Can anyone help me on this.

    Looking on the web I found that the Graboid video content needs converting. Itunes will accept mp4 or m4v.
    There are many converting apps out there. Handbrake is free and has presets for Apple TV and iphone etc
    Remember it is illegal to convert videos you do not have copyright to.

  • HT2729 how do i get the old itunes back as i can not put movies into itunes now that i have loaded the new itunes

    i used to hold down alt whilst draging the movie into the menu at the left side of itunes now that menu is no longer there

    the movie file now shows up in home videos within the movie folder so all my movies are in the movie file in itunes except the new ones now go into movie/home video itunes since i updated itunes
    As implied above, if you do not use a metadata tagging utility and share or import your files directly to iTunes the new files are automatically tagged as "Home Videos" during the import process but you can still use iTunes to make them appear in the same directory as your other movies just as you always could chage their display directory. Simply...
    1) select the "Movies/Home Videos" tab in the main window,
    2) select any/all of the videos you want moved,
    3) select the "File/Get Info" menu option (or press "Command-I") to open the "Information" window,
    4) select the "Options" tab in the "Information" window
    5) Select the "Movie" option in the "Video Kind" pop-up, and
    6) Press the "OK" button to move all items selected in step #2 above to your "Movie" directory and close the "Information" window.
    If you use a metadata tagging utility to add tags to your videos before import to iTunes, then pre-assign the "Movie" Media Kind tag to your files before import to iTunes. If you use a metadata tagging utility to tag files after import to iTunes, then manually set the "Movie" Media Kind option in that app and let it update the iTunes "Movie" directory. If the metadata tagging utility has not yet been updated to recognized files pre-assigned to the "Home Videos" directory, then manually tag the Media Kind in iTunes as described above before using the metadata tagging utility. If you don't like having iTunes automatically assign the "Home Videos" tag to untagged videos during import, then use the iTunes Product Feedback form to request an iTunes "Preference" enhancement option be added to the application allowing users to select a default "Media Kind" to be assigned to "untagged" video files during import.

  • How to put movie in itunes

    I have a dvd that I imported to my computer using handbreak, but it wont open in itunes. How can I put it in itunes so that I can sync it to my iPod Touch?

    Sounds like an issue you may need to take up in the Handbrake forums, then, presuming other videos work in iTunes without problems.

  • How to copy movies into itunes...

    Hi there,
    I am just wondering how I could copy a movie from a DVD in my Laptop into the intunes mediathek.
    Can anybody of you help me?
    Thanks in advance, MIC

    If you mean commercially released films or TV shows on DVD I'm afraid that can't be discussed as that involves breaking the encryption on them (which is illegal in most countries including the US and the EU). Such discussions are against the terms of use. "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.": Discussions Help & Terms of Use

    I use this link to convert YouTube video to iPod. After the conversion and auto download, rename the file, then import into iPod.

  • How do I get DVD movies into iTunes (and thus my iPad)?

    I have a pc with Windows XP. How do I import my DVD movies into iTunes? Do I need to buy additional software? Or is my best bet joining netflix?
    Thanks!

    you can copy them for your own use.
    Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
    But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
    in Europe it is not
    Europe is not one country.
    Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

  • How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes?

    How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes? I download my royalty-free music from VideoBlocks and it automatically launches iTunes and plays the song in iTunes. I just want to save it to a location without going through iTunes. How do I do so?

    Open your web browser's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. If you're using Safari, this option is in the General tab.

  • How do I upload movies into Itunes?

    How do I upload movies into Itunes? I have gone to "File" and tried adding files to Itunes, but nothing happens. Im frustrated.

  • 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

  • HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

    I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
    How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

    See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
    You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
    You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

  • Loading Movie into Itunes?

    Ok, so I understand that I may have to convert the movies once I have them on Itunes in order for them to play on my 80GB Classic but the problem I'm having is actually getting the movie on to Itunes. I have the movie in my computer but have no idea how to load it into Itunes...where do I go, what do I do? Please Help.

    I have video footage taken on a digital camera which I would like to put on my ipod. It's currently in 'My Pictures' section of my laptop. Would it already be in MPEG4 format or do i have to do something to convert it so I can put it on my ipod. This is footage I have taken myself so no issues with copyright.

  • Trouble loading movies into iTunes

    I recently aquired several movies as files on my computer (I assure you this is legal) However, when I try to load these movies onto iTunes, namely V for Vendetta and Advent Children, it simply refuses to do so. These movies are in the same format as several other files I have sucessfully uploaded, and there is room on it for them.
    How can I fix this

    I had the same problem and now I use iVI to import my video into iTunes. You just drag your videos onto it and it converts them and puts them into iTunes for you. It's worked great. Hope it helps.
