ITunes U video content shows in Movies app

Hi,
The iPod touch doesn't seem to properly handle iTunes U content. The most notable and annoying aspect of this is the iTunes U videos which are on my iPod. They show up in the "Movies" app alongside my actual (theatrical or self-produced) movie files, and apparently in alphabetical order - so my movies appear in the middle of a series of lecture videos.
I have probably 50 iTunes U videos and 15 or so normal videos. The iTunes U videos drown out the normal ones when browsing the iPod!
The iTunes U files do show up correctly in the iTunes U section of the Music app. But I don't want them to appear anywhere outside of the iTunes U section. Can I do this?
Firmware 3.1.3, iPod touch 32GB 3rd gen

I had already tried that. iTunes says that it cannot convert the specified file because it is already in the necessary format... or some such thing!
FWIW: I can share my library and watch the "U" videos on other Macs just fine.
Thanks for suggestions.

  • How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

    I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

    The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
    Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

  • I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs.

    I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit.  I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused.  Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be  and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor

    "The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
    You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
    Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.

  • Can I split iTunes library (video content on one machine, music on another)

    I am running out of space on my MacBook Pro.
    Is there a way I can keep all the music in the iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, and then move all my video content (which has almost filled all the drive space on the laptop) to my Mac Pro?
    So basically have 2 different locations for iTunes content?
    Thank you.

    Perhaps it is possible. I am researching the same issue as you stated. See the URL below and see if it helps you.

  • No Video content showing online!

    All video content online (youtube etc) now is missing - prompt says "missing plug-in".  What or where do I go to get whatever this is?  HELP!

    One of the following steps should help.
    1. Install Adobe Flash Player.

  • RE: Itunes deleted purchased TV Shows and Movies

    This is an answer to an aparently archived question.  The answers given (that one cannot re-download TV shows if one's disk crashes, and iTunes is not backed up) are plain WRONG.  People, if you are going to answer questions please ensure you have your facts straight.
    To re-download TV shows, log into the iTunes store and navigate to your account.  There is a menu provided at the bottom of your account details that includes a section called "Manage".  Click "purchases", and this option will allow you to re-download any purchases you have made.

    Those answers were not wrong at the time they were made, and are now only wrong for some people, and for some content. Here in the UK I believe I can now access my past Music and TV show purchases, but not Movies or Audiobooks. In the US most, but not all, movie purchases can be redownloaded. Hopefully before too long all our previous purchases, in all media types will be available, in every region, but that certainly isn't the case yet. The correct approach to avoid data loss is to backup your library. Even if you can recover the content from the store that won't replace ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

  • ITunes 11.4 not showing in Mac App Store Updates

    ...which is to be expected, so I cracked open the installer with Pacifict and replaced each of the components as well before reinstalling. Worked like a charm.

  • Please help me get rid of old videos not showing in the app.

    My iPad does not delete all the data when a video is deleted if it didn't download fully. How can I clear the data? Those are all videos bought through iTunes.

    A lack of free hard drive space on your hard drive could cause the delays. Highlight you boot drive and do command i to see the capacity, available and used space on your drive. "Available" needs to be no less that about 15 percent of "capacity."

  • ITunes Preview main content showing as black page

    Hi
    Just sending some feedback on iTunes Preview.
    I sent the following URL to a colleague and they said the main content was just black:
    http://itunes.apple.com/ie/podcast/quality-life-quality-care/id426140419?i=93260 376
    They had upgraded their iTunes to the latest and were using Internet Explorer 7.
    They could see a View in iTunes button on the left, which was good as they could then click through to iTunes.
    Everything worked fine for me on Firefox 4 XP.

    First check your site's code for errors. 
    CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
    It's possible you added or omitted a semi-colon or curly bracket from one of your CSS rules which rendered the rest of it useless.

    I use my MBP laptop, and use frontrow, then access sources, choose the mac mini source, and the only movies listed a about 20, and not the rest. Why is this????

  • Cannot play video files in new photos app for mac

    Hi There,
    I recently moved from an older imac to a new one (both had Yosemite installed). I moved my photos over by copying my old photo library file and pasting it to replace the same file on the new mac. All my photos came over fine, however i am unable to play some of the video files. I get a warning saying 'Cannot Play file - Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in Quicktime Player?'. If i try in quicktime it won't open either.
    What's strange is that when i go to the info tab for these videos they show as .MOV files that were taken on an iphone 5S - but they are very small in size - 5KB or so. Perhaps the size of the thumbnail image only. Any ideas on how i can fix this? When i open them on the old mac i get an other warning issue stating 'The necessary data reference could not be resolved'
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    John

    At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
    1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
    2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
    3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.
