ITunes 6/iPod: Upload home movies?

Any indication whether it is possible to upload home movies or personal footage?
Thanks.

heh!
The thing is that when Apple unveiled the iPod Photo, it seemed obvious to me that a video version would come very soon after that. We were on vacation and got a very good deal on the 40 Gb Photo, so we got it.
But yeah, it's kind of frustating to get any kind of digital device these days, a few months go by and it's already "obsolete" (note how freely I use the term "obsolete")

Ipod uploading home movies???? or shows from net.....

Hey guys real n00b here. I'm familair with electronics just this ipod I am not yet. I am wanting to get the 30g color screen for x mas. B4 i have soeone drop that coin the main reason i want that is so i can upload my movies or my collection of downloaded shows like family guy and stuff. It is capable of doing that right? I mean you can download shows from the store so why not upload from your own comp. Are there restrictions to movie playing? Is there a process to convert your stuff to work on this ipod. If this isn't supposed to be discussed or already has just shoot me a link theres so much on here already I tried searching so thanx for your help. Also any experance with these devices after the very very limited one yr runs out on them compared to a lets say Creative mp3 player with a lifetime?

Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names. When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created. How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

Restructuring iTunes media folders for Home Movies

I'm working with Final Cut Pro X and it should have the ability to "share" edited videos into Apple Devices (like iTunes and Apple TV), and as I understand it, the video files should be stored in Home>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Home Movies.
But that's not what happens on my system.
I've tried to add the folder myself, but it doesn't seem to be taking. So I'm wondering if this is more of an automatic structure that gets built on the fly.
I'm currently using iTunes 11.1.0.50. However, all my music and podcast is actually stored on an external drive. (I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem)
Does anybody have insight into how iTunes file structure is built, and how/if I can make this work for me?

I figured it out (with the help of Apple Support)...
In the iTunes preferences, under the Advanced tab, I needed to check the box to "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."
Sure enough, doing so creates the folder that the video file can be stored in.
I had unchecked it so that I wouldn't bog down my laptop's hard drive with all my music. So each time I share my videos, I'll have to first go in to iTunes and check that box.

Trying to use music purchased from iTunes store with a home movie

I am making a home movie for family use only in either iMovie or Final Cut Pro, but neither app will allow me to use music purchased from iTunes store. Why not? It's not a licensing issue b/c there is no distribution other than my family at a big birthday party. The music imports but acts as if it has no audio once the file is imported to either program. help!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
ibook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Put the purchased songs into a playlist. Set iTunes burning options to burn AUDIO CDs. Burn the playlist to an audio CD (you can use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a blank). After it is done, reimport the tracks off the CD. Now use the reimported versions in iMovie or FCP and they should work fine now.

Upload the files onto your computer then use Videora to convert it. From there just use itunes to put it on your ipod.

Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

Home movies + ipod

i am a vid freak and i love puting movies on my ipod, especially home movies. i have a windows os and i enjoy using windows movie maker to ad subtitles and inlays and such to my movies but then the windows movie maker file wont take to my ipod because its mac and an unsupported file. in short, does anyone know an editing program that is compatible with windows os and ipod vid?, or how to make a wmm file work w/ipod. i'm not sure if this is relevant to anything but i sure would appreciate it.

okay, how do i go about contacting you, just via email. one problem tho, my computer is super slow and doesnt take well to downloading GIANT programs. buying them from a retail store or such might be more convienient for me.

Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.
60GB iPod with click wheel Windows XP Pro

Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

How do I get a home movie onto my ipad?

I have used iTunes to convert a home movie to a mp4a file. How do I get it onto my iPad? I have tried dragging it. Does not work.

Fire up I photo on the Mac. Plug the pad in. ( make sure you are not automatically syncing to I tunes. ). On the left pane in I photo the pad will show up as a device. Click on it and it should show all new pictures on the pad. Select your video and at the top, click import selected.

Home movies not syncing with ATV

I have created some home movies in iMovie. I export them to iTunes. Then, in iTunes, i convert them to ATV. So now, in iTunes, i see 1) the movies i bought from iTunes, and 2) my home movies that i exported and converted. but the problem is that on ATV, i only see the movies i bought, and not the home movies.

Streaming content will not be available on the tv if itunes isn't running, which is one way you could tell if you are syncing or streaming.
Before something can be sent to the tv it needs to be checked. When I say checked I mean in the main itunes window next to it's name (i.e. to check a specific movie, select movies from the library list in the top left hand box in the window. Find your movie in the list in the main window and tick the checkbox to the left of the movies name).

Itunes and home movies

I have an imac and macbook, I have created and edited home movie video on both and uploaded to itunes on the same ID but the video on one computer won't show up on the other when itunes is opened. Why is this?

Hey Jonsey912,
Thanks for the question. If you have home movies that you would like to have on your iPad, you can sync them to your iPad with iTunes:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2729
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Your other iTunes movies show up on your device because they are purchases from the iTunes Store (they can be downloaded). Because a home movie is different, you’ll need to sync it or use Home Sharing to view it on your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Upload to home movie to iphone

I have iphone5 and itunes 11.0.5 84bit
I have some home movies that I wnat to upload (sync) to my iphone.
I created a play list and added the file in there. The list name is "Lectures" and they are seen in Movies. When I see in my iPhone screen, I see them under "Movies" but it does not sync. What is wrong?

Hello there, Sunguk.
The following Knowledge Base article should provide some good information for troubleshooting your issue:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497
Specifically:
Video podcasts
Even if you download video podcasts from iTunes, individual video podcast authors usually provide video podcasts, and in some cases, these podcasts may not play on your device. If the podcast is correctly encoded however, it will sync to the device without issue.
Other video sources
If you did not purchase videos from the iTunes Store, they may not be in a format that you can play on your iPhone/iPod. In many cases, you can convert them to the correct format using iTunes or QuickTime.
Using iTunes: Select a video and choose Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version
Using Mac OS X v10.6: Open the video in QuickTime Player and choose Share > iTunes and then select the iPhone & iPod option.
If you're using a Mac with iLife installed, you can also use iMovie to export a movie in an iPhone/iPod-compatible format. For questions on choosing the correct format, refer to iMovie '11: Choosing the correct export option for your iPhone or iPod touch.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
