1. You first need to convert the videos to a format iTunes recognizes. (its a particular flavor of mp4 using AAC audio, and other specifications.
The software you use to do this depends on the original source format. If you have Quicktime Pro, you might try to use this first. If that doesn't work there are a gazillion free/cheap possibilities - but what you use does depend on the format of original. (check out MacUpdate, VersionTracker etc).
If your using videos from DVD, Handbrake is the way to go...
2. Once converted, just drag the video to 'Movies' or 'TV Shows' in the left hand pane of iTunes main window.

When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?

As of the Yosemite upgrade, I can't watch movies or tv shows using iTunes or Safari.

As of Yosemite upgrade, I can't watch any movies or tv shows using iTunes or Safari. I have not previously had this problem before, and I have not changed anything with the monitor. Here is what I get... (This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP) However, I can still watch Netflix using Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, but not with Safari. (Using a Mini Mac with an LG Monitor Display) Using HDMI to DVI Apple adapter. I also tried a straight HDMI cable connection, which made no difference. My Apple TV plays just fine on this monitor. LG Monitor Model #DM2350D

Never mind i guess. The iTunes parental controls changed randomly to restricted certain ratings even though i've never touched those in my life. fix your **** apple.

How can I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

You can't currently permanently delete items, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding. At the moment you can't hide items directly on iOS 6 devices, but you should be able to do it via your computer's iTunes.

This is just a hunch - are they AVCHD? What type of camera/camcorder are they from?

There are many more hits if you do a search in the forums on those.
If they are not, then post back with camera info including what it says in the specs about the file forumat it shoots video in.

By default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files to iTunes. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have to convert them one by one with a tool like HandBrake.
On Mac there are dedicated tools that will import videos for you, even without reconverting them. Additionally they will download artwork, put them in the Movies or TV Show category, etc. But I don't know if such tools exist for windows.

Can not transfer Movies or TV Shows from iTunes to Apple TV any more

Hi,
I've been having syncing problems lately, but this latest one I can't solve. My iMac is running 10.6.3 with iTunes 9.1.1 (11). When I sync between the Mac and the Apple TV, everything (music, photos, podcasts, playlists) gets copied except movies and TV shows I've purchased through iTunes.
I've tried automatic sync, custom sync with the movies and TV shows selected. I've tried 'Transfer Purchases', but all I ever get is the "Syncing Apple TV" message with the 'busy' bar, and no actual progress.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try? I've been through the solutions in this forum already, and nothing has worked

How do I add movies or TV shows in iTunes? HELP !!!

I am a newbie for iTunes. I got my iPhone a few weeks ago. I have trouble adding TV shows / movies into my iTunes and thus into my iPhone. I just download the iTunes software on my windows 7
Problem one;
My iTunes showed this weird notification as I click TV Shows. It showed

The TV shows you download from iTunes will be appear in your iTunes library .....
The thing is I COULDN'T add any files into the TV shows library... WHY?

PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I REALLY WANTED MOVIES, TV SHOWS AND ALBUM ARTWORK IN MY LOVELY IPHONE 4

What movies and tv shows are you trying to add?
Where did you get the movies and tv shows?

No sound when watching full-screen movies or TV shows in iTunes after update to 11.1

After updating to iTunes 11.1, any full-screen movies or TV shows I try to play on my Thunderbolt display with my MacBook Pro have no audio. If I plug in speakers or headphones, I get audio, just not from the Thunderbolt display. Audio works fine from MBP.
Weird thing is, if I plug in other speakers or headphones and then *unplug* them, the Thunderbolt display's speakers start working again. Every time you start a new show or movie, though, you have to do this again after the full-screen video opens on the display.
Really weird. I obviously suspect i has something to do with the 11.1 update to iTunes 'cause audio works just fine through the display for iTunes music and other content and for the web and all other apps and games, whether they're in full-screen mode or not.
Keep checking Software Update hoping to see that "1" badge pop up on the App Store, lol.
Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks allen222! I've been banging my head against this issue as well - glad to hear it's fixed in Mavericks - was planning to upgrade shortly.

My new Ipod touch will not sync movies and tv shows from Itunes

When I try to transfer movies and tv shows I bought from Itunes I get the message saying that my device is not compatible.
I have been on the phone to Itune support for about 30hours++ . I have been reissued a new Ipod touch but this problem is reoccuring.
I registered my new Ipod touch under another account but I have activated home sharing on my computer.
Can anyone suggest anything that Apple support cannot solve Thanks

What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday. All fairly short 5-10 second clips. The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up. It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
THe first three that I did are still there, just fine.

Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
I'm flummoxed.

How do I import movies from a DVD into iTunes?

I have a movie that I'd like to load into iTunes and watch on my iPod. How do I do that?

If it is a home movie, then convert it to a compatible file type and drag into itunes.
If it is a commercial DVD ( you purchased it, like a movie or tv show), then it is illegal to break the encryption used to stop people from copying the dvd. Sorry.

Is it possible to transfer downloaded movies and tv-shows to iTunes?

I´m considering to buy the apple tv, but before making the purchase, I need to make sure that it won´t be a waste. So the question is: Is it possible to transfer my tv-shows and movies downloaded using utorrent, to iTunes, or in any other possible way to watch them on my TV via Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't transfer from the Apple TV, nor do you need to compromise your security with using third rate file sharing programs. You can redownload any content you purchase from iTunes on any device at any time.

Moving video from "movie" to "TV shows" in Itunes

When you download a show into Itunes (not purchased from Itunes), it seems to go right into "movies" in your Ipod and Itunes. How can I move them into "TV Shows"? Drag and drop does not seem to work. Thank you!

Have you tried selecting the video in iTunes, Get Info>Video>Video Kind and changing it to TV Show?

Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.
