ITunes lists movies I've deleted

Trying to sync my new iPod Nano (8gig, blue) with iTunes on a Windows machine running XP. After connecting the iPod to the computer, iTunes recognizes iPod, everything syncs fine, except...
Under the Movies tab - I check "Sync movies" and then get to choose 1 of three options 1. All Movies. 2. All/_ unwatched movies. 3. Selected movies(or)playlists with the list of movies(or)playlists. I choose option 3 (Selected Movies) and here is the problem.
iTunes lists a huge list of movie files that I have deleted. Also, it gives me no way to 'browse' my way to other folders and files.
Need help! What is going on here and how do I fix it?! Seems like iTunes is referring back to a past cache file or some kind of preferences files.
Does anyone understand this? Thanks!!

Hey I had the same problem-
The fix to solve the error was quick and easy:
-Go to My Music tab and click on the song view to show all tracks.
-Then simply organize by the iCloud Download column. (if not shown, right click the column menu)
-The songs without any sort of iCloud icon shown are the ones with the error as you mentioned.
-Select all of those and hit delete. It will then ask to delete off of iCloud but make sure to click NO.
Voila no more annoying error on every SINGLE track over and over. I felt your pain, and now we are free!

ITunes lists movie files as audio only?

I've had a large Movie library in my iTunes for years, and have recently had difficulty playing some older .mov files in the latest iTunes. Nobody seems to know the reason or a workaround aside from using a different video player outside of iTunes.
But now I've noticed that while scrolling through my AUDIO files in iTunes, the names of files that I know for a fact were previously MOVIES...ie "Madonna's tribute to Michael Jackson MTV awards live." That was a video file that used to play in my iTunes, but I curiously now find it in my MUSIC section and when I get the info about the file, it says it's an ACC audio file with no video info listed. I go to OPTIONS in the info window to try to change the media type to VIDEO, and that entire option is greyed out allowing no change to the presselected MUSIC category.
I've found about 100 of these files that should have video content.
Anyone have any ideas as to what has happened or what I can do to retreive prior video content?
I certainly appreciate any input,
Chad

Anyone have any suggestions?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

It depends upon what preferences settings you use. Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

I bought a movie and it is not on my iTunes list

I don't know where to post this...I purchased a movie on my iPad and it is not showing up on my iPad, iTunes list. Anywhere. How can I access my purchase history?

What did you buy it on, and where are you looking for your other purchased songs ? If you've just bought the song on your phone then it should be in the phone's Music app. If you bought it on your computer's iTunes then have you tried syncing it to your phone or are you able to redownload it (and your past music purchases) via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) ?

I purchased the Cars and Cars 2 bundle using my iPad. When I loged in with iTunes, the movies started to download to my laptop but somehow, I deleted Cars but Cars 2 and the iTunes extras for both are still there. How do I get Cars to download again?

By the way, I just purchased this movie last night. I somehow deleted Cars while the other parts of the bundle were still downloading. I tried looking into iClod but I was unable to find a link to download the movie again.

Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.

HT1390 Where the **** is the downloaded movie? I already tried to download it a second time and the computer tells me it recognizes I already downloaded this movie, but I go to itunes and movies and it is not listed.

I've checked my downloads folder, the movie I rented is nowhere in my itunes library, but if I go to rent it again the store tells me I will be renting it a second time. *** apple? I've got a show in an hour, guess I'll rent it twice. Thanks.

You donwloaded it on your ipod ( this is the ipod forum)? it is in the videos app.
On your computer? it should be in your library under movies.

After moving files out of the iTunes library they still show in the iTunes list

I am archiving movies out of my iTunes library. I have moved the files from the iTunes media folder and into another folder but the movies still show up in the iTunes movie list in the main iTunes window. I am sure there is some kind of link to the file but do I need to break that somehow or can I refresh the iTunes list so it will see that the files are no longer in the media folder?

An easier way is to simply drag movies/songs from the iTunes window to where you want.
Then delete it in iTunes.

When you add files to iTunes, it adds them to the iTunes library database file and this is what is displayed in iTunes.
I f you remove the file from its location, iTunes will not know until you try to access it in iTunes. It will then show an exclamation mark if it cannot find that file.

When i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

when i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

Yes, annoying. A couple of options:
While it's playing the current A song, click on the H song to select it (but not double click to play it), when iTunes jumps to the second A song, press the down key and iTunes will remember that you had that H song selected and will move the selection to the second H song while the second A song is still playing. So, still jumps around, but easy to get back to where you were.
Create a new playlist for your music, right click on it, select "New Window" and you can browse your music in a second list while the first window continues to play music. But if you then start playing music in that second window, you have to go back to the first window if you want to start browsing again. Not great if you're navigating around to play the next song.
Play music from iTunes DJ, then as you're browsing around your library, you can add things to play next in DJ, and go back. You can combine this with previous suggestion, to keep DJ open in one window while you browser in the other window.
None of these are great, but maybe one of these works better than your current workflow.

ITunes 11 Movies/TV Shows no artwork when purchased

This has me a bit stumped...
This has only started since I upgraded to iTunes 11 but I want to see if others are having the same issue or it's just me.
Since the upgrade if I purchase a movie or TV show on my Mac the artwork disappears when the download has finished, during the download I can see the artwork fine but as soon as it finishes it's gone. If I go into 'Get Info' the artwork option is greyed out.
Now, if I delete the Movie/TV Show from iTunes but keep a copy in iCloud the artwork reappears. So it would appear that anything stored in iCloud the artwork is fine but if downloaded locally then the artwork is not downloaded.
Has anyone else the issue?

I'm not entirely sure when this issue started for me but I know it's been since 11-Oct-2012. I'm always on the latest iTunes so if you know release dates you'll know what version it started for me. The HD TV show downloaded from iTunes didn't have Album Artwork. It was irritating but dismissed it. November&December 2012 I purchased several new releases in HD. None of them displayed the Album Artwork on any of my devices (MacbookPro, iPhone, AppleTV). I'm currently on iTunes 11.0.1. As already pointed out you can paste a new photo into "Get Info==>Artwork tab" hit save but it DOESN't save. You can select "Get Album Artwork" but it doesn't produce anything. Now in my trial-and-error phase I tried deleting the Movie from my MacbookPro and re-downloading through the cloud. It worked. I had Album Artwork. Unfortunetly, the iTunes Extra didn't download which frankly ticked me off as well. I tried the delete, re-download process again and it downloaded everything but again NO Album Artwork. It's important to mention that the iTunes Extra file does contain the Album Artwork and even after "linking" the movie with the extras by "part of a compilation, 1 of 2 and 2 of 2" it didn't fix the Artwork problem. So, I think the problem is when the actual download from iTunes store and how it saves to the iTunes Media Library. And, yes, I'm on a NAS device. Regardless, here is the workaround that resolved all 6 movies and 1 TV show. The solution is manually adding the movie into iTunes and not relying on the download from the cloud.
Fix
Step 1; copy individual movie folder such as "Brave" to another directory outside of iTunes Media Folder <note: in recent iTunes you'll notice all files, HD, SD and Extra is in one folder - NOT always the case with older versons>
Step 2: delete move from iTunes desktop but select "keep files"
Step 3: rename the movie folder of the movie you just deleted within iTunes Desktop
Step 4: in iTunes desktop, select from File menu, "Add to Library" and select the copied folder from Step 1; e.g. the one outside of the iTunes Media Folder
Step 5: once import is complete, verify Artwork is now as it should be displayed
Step 6: verify the movie folder back into iTunes Media Folder <if it is not but the movie was added, check advanced tab within preferences and check the box to add files to iTunes Media Folder on import>
Step 7: delete copied movie folder that you placed outside iTunes Media Folder from step 1
Step 8: delete the renamed, original, movie folder from step 3
Optional: iTunes at some point listed the movie and iTunes Extras as compilations. I found I had problems in the past if it wasn't linked. So, I manually make the movie part 1 of 2 and the iTunes extra part 2 of 2. Don't forget to hit the compilation flag too.

My iTunes will not let me delete music off of my iPhone 4

I am trying to get rid of a lot of music that I don't want off of my iPhone 4 that way I have enough room to download the new iOS 7. So when I go into iTunes I let my phone completely sync and it has no issues so then I go to the iPhone icon. Then I go to the on this phone icon and it lists all my music. But when I go to a song that I want to delete and right click it gives me 3 options: play"...", get info, and show in iTunes Store. So then I just try to highlight the song and click the delete button on my computer nothing happens. I know it's not my iTunes program because I can delete and add songs on my iPod. And adding songs is also an issue for me. So please help! I don't need 488 songs!!

How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

I cannot move, rename, or delete a Microsoft Word Document on my Finder

I had no clue which category to put this in as I cannot find another with a similar problem.
Basically I have a new Macbook Pro and a licenced version of Microsoft Office for Mac 08.
I had a problem with a file the other day which would not save, and over a long process I lost the file (luckily use time machine) had to reinstall office as word wouldnt open without option of sending error report, then many a times I got the error of it not being possible to move the document into the trash after making other copies etc etc etc
Now however that issue seems to be sorted, I have six versions of this document showing up in Finder, when I right click, the only options are to Open, Open Containing Folder, Get Info, and Quick Look.
The files are all Microsoft Documents but they wont open with this, when I click it, it says The alias “Final model plan and process.docx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found. and then find alias which I dont want to click on Microsoft Office incase it corrupts it again!
Also the files only show up in ALL MY FILES not however MY DOCUMENTS
I want to delete all these files as I feel they are somehow the problem that lead to all of this. However I cant move rename or delete it.
Any help is appreciated,

Thanks Alfie.
I do not get 100% of the meaning of your first sentence (English is not my mother language).
Repair permissions is easy. Just launch Disc Utility (or Utility Disc in English ?) you find it under Utility folden in Applications.
Select your main Disc in the left side of the window and at bottom click on Repair Permissions. It will take few minutes. You will see a list of repairs performed: don't care if something will remain not repaired; important is at the end of the job you get the result "Repair succesful" or something like that.
Be carefull with Antivirus. I do not know Sophos but I know for sure that some Antivirus can give more troubles than advantage. And we do not need antivirus on Mac.
Thanks for the points. I like this Community, it is my pleasure, like many others here, to help if I can and to develop our hobby we need problems

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word "installed" next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes list of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word “installed” next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes lists of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display? Both devices have iOS8.0.2 installed. Both are having problems downloading some books that had been purchased previously for other devices. And, before installing iOS8, the full list of had been downloaded to the iPad mini with iOS7.
Finding out what the greyed outness means may help me figure out how to get all my books loaded on both devices. Any suggestions how to do that also would be appreciated.

Thank you. Your explanation of why the word "installed" is greyed out makes sense. But that raises the further question of why then is it shown at all. There are other apps on both devices that can not be removed,and they are just not shown. This is the only app that has the greyed out "install" notation. All of the other apps shown are either identified by "remove" meaning it is installed and can be removed; "install" meaning it is not installed but can be; or "update" meaning it has been replaced by a more current version which can be installed.
All of the books that I want to install have been on an iPhone4 that was replaced by the iPhone6, and were on the iPad Mini with iOS7 before iOS8 was installed. Installation of iOS8 on the iPad removed all of the books and only a few of them were later added by syncing with iTunes. Since most of the books I am interested in are free or of small cost, I would be happy to delete all of them from iTunes and then reinstall the ones I want directly on the devices. But I have not been able to delete them and when I try to install them on a device I am told that they already have been downloaded. Very frustrating.

ITunes match says "matched" I delete the song to download better version and get the same bit rate

HI,
title says it all. :-) I made a smart playlist to filter out the tracks that I can upgrade to a better version. This worked well for most of my library but there are a couple of songs that are listed at 128kbps. I delete these and then click on the cloud icon. While downloading itunes lists them at 256 but then revert to 128!
A bug? Should I report it or are other users having the same problem?
Cheers,
Philly

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
