Importing movie dvds into my iphone through itunes
i have many movie dvds i would like to import into my iphone through itunes, can someone help me out with how to do this?
its not illegal to make a backup of your dvd
if that were the case than you would not be able to buy software which specifically does this.
there are dozens of app that help you create an iphone or idevice friendly version of your movie.
dvdxxx is a good one
xilxxx dvd to iphone is another good.
plus you can download app that decrypt the movie to your hdd than ya can use handbrake
making compatible formats for your own playback on your devices is 100% legal.
the problem is, apple, wants to you to buy that movie again via their itunes movie store.
its rubbish if you think about it,. they offer itunes match, which will make your music u bought at a store, match it, put it online and if it was ripped at low bitrate upgrade it
but they dont offer this for movies
so in reality its a hypocrisy. they offer for music but not for movies.
its not against the law to rip your music, which is same as ripping movie to hdd.
so if ripping music to hdd and then using itunes match to make it available online, would that not be illegal too? since you had to rip the music from a cdrom to put it on your hdd?

Importing protected DVD into iTunes
Hello All
At the very outset - let me admit I love Shaun T's workouts and I always will legitimately pay for those than have them downloaded via other "unfit" means :-)
So the issue am seeking help on is this - I have bought the DVDs for couple of BeachBody Shaun T workouts (Insanity & Focus T 25). Now I use a MacBook pro which does not have an optical drive and every time I want to do the workout means I have to chug along the super drive, and it feels very primitive in today's time and age. Now these DVDs are protected and there is no way I can import them into iTunes and then get them onto my iDevices, so I can break a sweat even if I am in a tiny hotel room on my tiny iPhone 6 Plus screen (Yes - it is tiny when you are trying to follow those moves on a screen that size while half dead in motion!)
Is there anyway to do this i.e. import those DVDs into iTunes and then consume them like you would with any other iTunes media?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions
P.S: Cannot fathom why Beach Body doesn't sell their workouts on iTunes!Depending on where you are it may be legal for you to backup your purchases. Check your local laws.

Just make sure you keep the original discs otherwise it becomes piracy. -
I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.
Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan. -
I can't trasfer music from my library in itunes to my iphone 3GS. A black ring with a line through it comes up when i try to move music onto my iphone from itunes. How can I fix this so that I can load my phone with music?
How are you trying to transfer it and what are your setting on iTunes. I'm not on a computer that has iTunes at the moment so I'm going from memory and similar issue. If iTunes is set to sync music then I don't think you can select and drag, if set to manual manage music then you can. Also make sure you are dragging to music on the iPhone.
Hope this helps -

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for
Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

Sync problems with iPhoto & iPhone through iTunes.
I can not sync my iPhoto with my iPhone through iTunes. Error (-50) ?
on my new laptop, I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5.1 and opened a library that I had backed-up from my previous laptop.
iTunes refuses to sync photos with my iphone. It gts stuck on the "import" step.
I tried rebuilding the library, but it did not solve the issue.In that case, repair your original iPhoto library:
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and repair the library.
If that does not help, quit iPhoto, back up your iPhoto Library, and remove the iPod Photo cache, if there is such a folder, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If all fails, back up the iPhoto Library and rebuild it as described by Old Toad:
Re: iPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them. -
After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?
Go into your iTunes preferences and select devices (on a Mac it's iTunes > Preferences > Devices; on PC it's Edit > Preferences > Devices). This will show you any and all iTunes backups you have, including your phone. If you don't see any backups, then you don't have one in iTunes.
With iCloud, if you've got a backup you can view it using an iOS device that's logged in with your iCloud (apple ID) account. You go into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and see if your phone is listed there. If it is, then you have a backup for it. You can click on it to see how large the backup is and what is backed up.
Don't be afraid to restore it. The worst that can happen is that you lose data. If you have a backup, then you can get that data back. If not, then you will have to start over, but your phone will still work. -
I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.
The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
Since upgrading to Yosemite on my Mac airbook I can no longer sync my outlook 2011 calendar on my iPhone through iTunes??!!
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?
Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?
iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone. -
