Ipad is deleting videos when you change the media kind to TV Shows

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, I have noticed that files that I have changed the media kind from "Home Video" to "TV Show", to better organize my videos on my ipad, are deleted when I press on them to play in the Videos app.
Is anyone else having this problem since updating to iOS 8? This is frustrating as now I have to leave them as regular "Home Video" kinds which means I have to wade thru a mess of files to find the video i want to watch while working out or studying.

I have the same issue on an Ipad with iOS 8, when adding videos via itunes on a MacBook Air. Also the videos that where on the Ipad pre-update in TV Shows and Movies tabs, went from playable to not playable. All videos in home videos tab work. It seems only when 'Media Kind' is changed is there a problem.
Temp work around is keeping all videos as home videos. Hmmm frustrating but may classify as a first world problem?

  • I couldn't delete this video after I changed the media type. After I manually went in, it's become really strange. How could I get rid of it for good?

    I changed the media kind of a music video on my ipod to a podcast. Suddenly, I couldn't find it listed... It was still on my ipod, but wasn't on the music or podcast lists on itunes. I eventually got into my ipod, found the hidden folder it was in, and deleted it. It's still there in the podcasts section, though, except now it won't even play when I try and play it. I'd be really thrilled if someone could offer me some advice on what to do here, thanks..

    Hi wrtlinksys-user, you can try to do a funny reset on the router. To do it, just press and hold the reset button on the device for 30 seconds and when you reach 20 seconds while counting, simply unplug and replug the power adapter of the router. Update us if this will help you.

  • The icon that appears when you change the volume is stuck on my phone.  how do i get it off my screen

    the icon that appears when you change the volume is stuck on my screen.  Can anyone help?

    Hi antdagreat601,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven't already, I'd first try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the volume icon doesn't go away, see our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for more help:

    Have a great day,

  • How do you change the media type for purchased movies & TV shows?

    I have purchased many movies from iTunes, and would like to organize them a bit better. For example...I would like to classify all of the standup comedy videos I've purchased as TV Shows, with the season title of "Standup" so I can go to one place in iTunes (under TV shows) to find all of my standup comedy.
    I do the following:
    - Get Info on the movie.
    - Navigate to the Options Tab.
    - The Media Kind drop down (where you would change the media kind from Movie to TV Show) is grayed out.
    This is true for all media I've purchased from iTunes.
    If I have ripped a DVD myself, I can freely edit the media type.
    Things I have tried:
    - Checked the permissions for my iTunes folder (all levels). It is set to read/write.
    - I have tried fiddling with the command line "chmod" command for a movie file. I believe I changed the permissions to "700" which (as near as I can tell) should change the permissions so that I can edit things.
    Neither of these things worked.
    Any other things I should try? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Carl

    The files aren't locked in Get Info in Finder?

  • Changing the media kind.

    I can't change the media kind of a digital booklet to make it a book so I can sync it. And I don't have iTunes Match .

    "Podcast" is not a file format or anything, it's simply how it was downloaded, such as by being listed in an RSS feed. That's why a PDF file can be a podcast. If you simply download (or create) an mp3 file, and add it to the iTunes Library, it still doesn't have any association with a podcast feed. I think to change it you need to hack one or more of the the user-unfriendly xml files in the iTunes folder. Not something I really want to mess with, unless it's just after a full backup.
    Try this AppleScript "Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.2" - from http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=1

  • In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

    In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

    After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold!  I can change the media kind to Audiobook!  So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
    I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

  • HT201306 I can not change the "media kind" because it's greyed out.  How do I get past this problem?

    I can't change the "media kind" to book from music because this option is greyed out.  How can I change this so I can view the digital booklet that should have come with my "delux" purchase?

    Does this happen with all media in iTunes or just that one specific track?
    If it happens with everything, try following along with turingtest2's fix in this thread -> Information boxes grayed out
    The Music folder that those files are stored in might be locked or your user account may not have complete access.
    If it only happens with one track, try importing it into iTunes again or redownloading it.

  • Calendar time indicator is wrong when you change the timezone

    I found a problem for iPhone: iPhone4S, iOS 6.0.1, I am in GMT+8:00, it is 14:47, when I change to GMT+9:00, it shows 15:47 (see top of the picture), but the indicator (the red line) doesn't change, still 14:47. Can you tell me if it is a bug or I do something wrong?
    I tried to restart the iPhone, but still the same problem.

    Dear Alan
    I checked with friend here in Switzerland, we have differend providers. But everybody has the same problem. And after a few research in internet it's a huge discussion in Germany too on forums.
    If I analyse this problem it looks the code of iOS program would like to go to summer time again (ansted to winter). The flag must be on wrong position. I maked a test: I changed to next year may 2014, time change forward 1h and red line was on right position. It must be a bug in iOS7. Mavericks (I know it's different source code) works well. Pls compare the two systems, I'm sure it will be a difference....

  • When you change the password for your apple Id and you loose all your messages can you get them back?

    So my stupid mum decided to change the password instead of waiting for me to get up -_- and now I have lost all my iMessages that were very important and I can't find them I recently tried to back all my iPod up to my laptop but I had a look and couldn't find anything to do with messages can someone help

    You only way is to restore from backup if you have backed up after the Messages were on the iPod but before you "deleted" them. iTunes only retains the last backup.
    See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up

  • Iphone 4s light problem? Back light keeps going dark at random times? Like when you change the lighting but it does it on its own?

    Does anyone have a idea what is going on with my iphone?
    On settings you can change the brightness of the screen but my iphone does it when it wants to?
    I have auto brightness off, and when im on my phone the light goes dark? It did it today when i was ending a call just go very dark? It doesnt do it all the time just at random times?

    This is hardware fault of LCD Display or Logic Board Display controllers. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, the next step would be replacement of entire front assembly. If still problem there is no resonable fix. If you want this handled by Apple, they do not replace iPhone 4S front screens, they replace the entire iPhone 4S exactly like yours for $199.

  • ITunes is changing the "Media Kind" on it's own and won't change back

    After the latest update to iTunes my library got all messed up - reassigned album covers, reassigned "media kind".
    I've been working on correcting the assignment of media kind and it will not change. I am able to access the "options" and make the
    change, but it doesn't take. Just goes back.
    For instance, it changed an album to "audiobook". When I select "get info" and go to the "options" tab and then select "music" and then
    "okay" the "get info" window closes but the item stays in "audiobook".
    It also changed multiple albums to the same name and different artwork. It's a mess. I cannot restore through time machine because my
    library is on an external drive. Need to back that thing up!
    Thanks for your help.

    Well then unplug everything and start over, try:
    Troubleshooting Intermittent Freezes and/or Kernel Panics
    Step 1: Do simple maintenance first. Run Disk First Aid from your install CD to check drive and repair permissions. Use a utility like Xupport, Cocktail or Onyx to clean user/system cache, logs, memory swap files, etc. We would also suggest using DiskWarrior or Tech Tool Pro 4 to rebuild directories.
    Step 2: Disconnect any external devices except mouse and keyboard. Try a different keyboard and/or mouse if you have one. Also, you might try hooking up another monitor if you have one.
    Step 3: Pull your stock RAM out and reseat it. Remove any third-party RAM you installed. Just use the RAM that came with computer or install new "known good" RAM.
    Step 4: Pull your video card out and reseat it.
    Step 5: Run your hardware tester that came with your computer on extended mode. If all checks ok, proceed to next step.
    Step 6: Reset your PMU and NVRAM.
    Step 7: Create another User account and run computer under that user. This will help determine if the problem is software related and localized to your Home (Library) folder or your root System.
    Step 8: Start and run computer in Safe Mode. This is equivalent to running OS 9 with extensions turned off.
    Step 9: Do an Archive and Install. Run the computer for an extended period of time without adding anything back from your Previous System folder.
    Step 10: Reformat your drive using "Zero all data" option with your Disk Utility and install a fresh OS X off your install disk.
    Step 11: Reinstall your applications one at a time.
    Step 12: If you're still experiencing problems after going through the steps above, at this point, your video card, logic board and/or processor(s) may need to be replaced. Take unit to an Apple Service Center. NOTE: You can contact Apple and see if they will send you a video card to try. It's a user serviceable part.

  • Why doesn't a List update it's display when you change the dataprovider Array?

    Hi. I have a list and an array with more strings inside. If i
    remove some of the strings from the array and add some new strings
    then the list display doesn't update. How can i force the list to
    update?
    List1.dataProvider = Array1;
    Array1.pop();
    Array1.push("test");
    List Update??????

    Hi MaxMuld,
    Because it has to be ArrayCollection, not the Array.
    Documentation about Datagrid.dataProvider says that Array as
    provider will be converted to ArrayCollection. And ArrayCollection
    performs all the notifications if you add/delete items in it.
    If you still want to use Array you should do the following:
    var ar= new Array();
    ar.push(x)
    grid.dataProvider = ar;
    grid.dataProvider = new Array();
    ar.pop();
    grid.dataProvider = ar;
    But this is very inefficient.

  • Does the mobile design change when you change the desktop design?

    Hello everyone,
    Does anyone know if there's a way to set things up so changes to the text in the desktop design are reflected in the mobile designs? If I make changes to the text in the Desktop version of the site design, is there a way I can have those changes happen automatically (dynamically) in the Tablet and Mobile versions?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    There isn't a way to do this currently. This idea has been proposed before: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/2485; please feel free to vote on it.
    It would also help to know what fraction of text copy is identical across renditions (desktop/tablet/mobile).
    Thanks,
