IPad Video app not sorting correctly

All,
Long time reader, first time poster - but I cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue, I fail to see how this issue could go unresolved for as long as I have had it;
The iPad video App when streaming from a home shared iTunes account does not sort TV shows as per the TV Show / Season / Episode attributes in the metadata. Is there a fix for this other than re-entering the metadata to the Artist attribute - I have a moderately sized library and this would consume my attention for far too long, not to mention its double handling!!!
Surely the introduction of a sort function on iOS devices and Apple TV is not too much to expect.
Thanks

Actually there is a fix, that I found from another thread. Plug in yor device to the computer as it's faster. Un synch all your music from the iPad, which will remove it from the Pad. When that's done, turn the music synch back on, putting your tunes back on the device.
The music library is corrupted and this will fix that. A regular synch will not work.

Tagging Videos - why not sorting correctly??

I have added a number of videos that I have ripped and tagged myself - but I have used iTunes "built in" Genere selection to choose "TV" "Music Video" etc yet the videos only show up under ALL not under the sub categories....how do you get them to show under the subcategories??
Example:
Purchased from iTunes "Weapon of Choice" - this shows up under Music Videos
Ripped copy of a Live 8 performance does not even though tagged as music video
Purchased copy of Lost shows up in TV Shows
Ripped copy of Dead Like Me tagged as a TV show does not

You need to change a different option for each video. If you 'Get Info' for each video (individually, you can't do a mass-edit for it) and then hit Options and then 1/2 way down there is Video Kind. Basically, there you can tell it if it is a Music Video or a regular Movie. However, there is no way to tell a video clip to be a "TV Show" unfortunately...

IPad Videos App - Indicating Watched / Not-watched

I have watched videos on my iPhone for a while, it is very convenient that it shows a circle to indicate what has been viewed, partially or completely (or not at all). The iPad videos app doesn't seem to do this which is very invonvenient as I have a series of TV shows I am watching and now have to remember where I was up to.
Am I missing something or is this an oversight in the Videos app?

OK, I gave up. You just can't fight city hall.
After messing with changing from 'Movie' to 'Home Video' I just said screw it. I just finished doing the following for my 64 'Home Video' movies:
- I did a Google image search on <movie name> poster
- I clicked on the thumbnail to bring up the image
- I did a right-click SAVE IMAGE AS
- I then did a GET INFO on the movie through iTunes
- I clicked on the ARTWORK tab
- I added the image I just found as the the artwork
- I change the MEDIA KIND back to MOVIE
- I then recopied the movies I keep on my iPad (about 10) from the PC
No more problems now either with viewing the local or Shared movie lists from my iPad. As I add new movies I will make sure to manually add the artwork. What a PITA.
Hopefully Apple will get this fixed. This movie UI painfulness (that wasn't even a problem on IOS 6.x) is something worthy of Microsoft.

UPDATE to this CURRENT LOCATION on iPad / iPhone / Find My iPhone issue -
I have a iPad that kept showing my OLD adress in Orlando Fl on BOTH google maps and Apple Maps, even after I moved up north to South Carolina. I tried everything. I then tried my FIND MY iPHONE on my Macbook Pro and same thing. Annoying.
This evening I set up my BACK TO MY MAC so i could acess my Time Capsule from work. After I set it up, and just for grins, i renewed the DHCP Lease while doing this. After the Time Capsule rebooted, my iPad displayed the correct location immediately. My macbook pro was still showing the OLD location in my FIND MY iPHONE. Did a restart and BAM, its all good.
Not sure if it was the renew or restart of the Airport Extreme Time Capsule.
Hope this helps.

Why doesn't my iPad Videos App show TV Show Episode Numbers?

Dear everybody,
Can you please help me with this issue, my iPad Videos app doesn't show TV Show episode numbers. They appear to be ordered correctly but shouldn't there be an episode number section?
Here's the screnshot:
http://tinypic.com/r/18kx09/6

It's not designed to. It will only appear in Windows Explorer if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails, websites - in which case it will appear as a camera. Otherwise you get content on and off the iPad via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

Synced photos from iTunes not sorted correctly

I have around 300 pics that I took with my iphone that I moved to a local folder on PC.
I want to put those pics back on the iphone to use in a timelapse video.
I enabled Photo sync on itunes and chose that folder, and synced.
All synced OK, but these pics are not sorted correctly on the iphone.
The file names on the PC are exactly as iphone assigned them when taken, and according to date taken.
It is very important that they are sorted in ascending file name; any ideas how I can correct the sorting?
Thanks.

For those in this discussion concerned with the "Sort" order, the criteria is in the "metadata" date that changes when you adjust the photos.
The directions below apply to Lightroom
To keep the order you created you must make an adjustment to "ALL" photos at the same time such as increasing the contrast by (1) point.
First select and change the contrast in the first photo in your collection, then select the remaining photos, click "Sync" The "Metatdata" date will change on all photos selected and will then import in the prper order.
I should mention that I have renamed all photos so they have a name that is sequential but I don't know if that matters

Is it possible to transfer video to iMovie from video app (not the library)

If you're asking if you can import video fror the iOS Videos app to iOS iMovie, the answer is no. You can only import what is in the camera roll.

IPAD Video App resolution issues

the Ipad is reported to have a 1024 by 768 resolution but the video app does not seem to support a frame width greater than 640.
Evidence : I use one app to convert video to MP4 - most of which I can drop into iTunes and then sync onto the iPad, however I got the occasional error when syncing saying that some of the file where not transferred as they where not supported by the device.
after a lot of investigation i notice it was all the MP4s with a frame width greater than 640.
Further investigation leads to the fact that the Video playback on the iPhone is limited to 640 - presumable its the same app on the iPad
question 1 : when will the iPad Video app be upgraded to use the native resolution of the device
question 2 : is there a third party video viewer that supports its full resolution

MPEG-4 videos are indeed limited to 640x480 (as stated in the specs for the iPad). Try H.264 instead; that is supported up to 720p.

IPad video app no sound.

recently, I just realized that my iPad video app does not produce any sound after I have recorded it. can somebody help me with it? so does Skype app too. it does not produce any sound and can't be heard clearly.

I was having same issues as many others ie sound only using headphones but no speaker output. I had tried everything listed in the forums including resetting device,headphone plug etc etc.
Solution for my device was to enter settings / notifications and change the notifications tab from manual to time and back again. Also I generally changed any button mentioning sound in the notifications list from on to off and back to on.
Once I did this the volume bars reappeared on screen controlled by the volume up down buttons. I was then back in business and the speaker was outptting audio again............................strange.............dont ask me how I arrived at this point but it worked. I was one call away from returning to Apple under warranty.
Hope it works for you.

ATV2 not sorting correctly

Has anyone else noticed their ATV2 does not sort TV Shows correctly? Here are a couple of examples -
The Colbert Report is under "T" - AppleTV1 listed it under "C" as it should be
Multiple seasons of of shows are showing up separately. So instead of having a 30ROCK listing in the root list, then clicking that to get to Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 options, I have multiple 30ROCK listings at the root list.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
Or is ATV2 not sorting correctly?

It's doing it differently.
Biggest annoyance for many is that TV Shows now have an entry for each Season rather than Seaons being listed under the main show name.
Also metadata tags used to group related films eg Star Wars, Superman etc, in a common folder no longer works.

Video playlists don't work properly either.

My iPad Videos App Won't Connect to Shared Library

When I launch the iPad Videos app, then tap on "Shared" and then tap on my library, all I get is a spinning circle.
Admittedly, I do have a large iTunes library, but it shouldn't take this long to load. (Actually, I dont know how long it takes to load, because it has never loaded. I've waited as long as 20 minutes thus far).
The strange thing is that my 3rd-party Air Video app works every time, all the time. Why doesn't the Apple Videos app?
Update: Waited a little longer this time, only to get this error message: "Unable to turn on Home Sharing"

I find that closing iTunes and the Videos App on my iPad Air does not solve the problem.
Even this solution, if it worked would drive me bonkers. If I wanted to go to my computer I could just watch the video there. If I wanted to watch the video on my Apple TV I would go watch it there.
Why is it that my Apple TV always flawlessly connects to my shared iTunes library, but my iPad Air never will? The fact that it works on Apple TV suggests the problem in not my network, my router, my firewall, etc. It suggests there is a bug with the apps on the iPad.
I too have resigned myself to the fact that AirVideo is the answer. Sadly though, this doesn't solve my problem with trying to listen to my music library.
I have the exact same experience with my iPhone 5c. I'm a huge fan of Apple products for several years now after being a detractor. I am simply left with the feeling that this issue, reported by many users, with many different devices, is not getting the attention it deserves.
Frustration is setting in....

The question is not only how to to hide them, but also how to mark them as watched!

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Some photos are not sorted correctly by date

I just imported some photos from my friends camera who were on the same trip. However, I noticed that a couple (not all) of his photos are not sorted correctly by date in the Event. A photo from day 3 somehow comes before the photos from day 2. I checked the extended information and the dates on the photo are correct. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution? Thanks.

It might be of some help to delete the photo cache. Please see this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
