Any solution?

  • Movie not showing up in iTunes library

    I recently downloaded a digital copy of a movie, but it won't show up in my iTunes library.  The file shows up in my itunes folder, but not in my library.  Any ideas how to fix this.

    I just had the same thing happen.  I downloaded a digital copy of War Horse and it is in its own folder in the Movie folder inside the iTunes Music Folder.  I can even get it to play in iTunes but it will not show up on my list of movies in the library.  I need a solution.

  • Rented movie not showing up in iTunes or on AppleTV

    I rented two movies before I left and I believe the both dowloanded to my external HD.  I unhooked the MacBook Air from the external HD and wasn't able to watch the movies on the plane because iTunes couldn't find them (they were at home on the HD).  Now, I'm looking to watch both of the movies, I don't believe I started either one of them and I can find them both on the external HD now that I am back.  They aren't recognized anywhere, but the files exist on the HD.  I can't add them to the iTunes library etc.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    There are some bad sectors on the hard drive of the iPod, see if you can do a Restore on a window base PC, if so, reconnect it back with your Mac and hopefully it will get recognized for you to do the following :-
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”

  • Movies Not Showing Up in iTunes

    I am on an iMac with the lastest everything.  Including 10.7.3.  The problem was happening before 10.7.3 also. 
    I add m4v files to my iTunes library, they copy in, but I can't find them.  If I go to my iTunes Media folder, I can find them in there.  But, I just can't see them in iTunes. 
    I allow iTunes to manage my library.  Not sure why things aren't showing?

    This problem affects Windows users too.  Has anyone found a fix other than recreating the library?  I went to my home server and restored a backed up ITL file but the corruption looks like it must go at least a couple weeks back and I can't resolve it.
    I tried creating a new library from scratch.  This allowed me to re-import everything just fine, but since this is the machine that syncs my iPhone and iPad, iTunes said that they were synced with a different library and it wanted to replace all of the apps and data on both devices.  That's unacceptable.
    Interestingly the movies I added show up as being available to put on the iPad and iPhone.  It's just that they don't appear in the main Movies view.  So it's more like the Movies view is corrupted.  I tried removing all of the movies and re-importing them, but now the view just shows the "Feature films and home movies you add to iTunes..." splash page, so it appears there are no movies.
    If I can just get them into a playlist then I can live with that.

  • Rented movie not showing up in iTunes to watch on my laptop

    Am having trouble watching a rented movie, it is not past the 30 days. The movie is not in the video section in iTunes. Please help?!

    The itunes app is where you buy music.  This is not where you watch movies.
    Depending on the ios version, it will be in the videos app or the ipod app.

  • I have downloaded 2 movies from itunes to my ipad, but they are not showing up on itunes.  where are they?  how can i find them?

    Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store.  To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

  • ITunes movies not showing up on Apple TV

    I'm having some trouble with my movies not showing up on Apple TV.
    The movies I am missing are not purchased from iTunes but I have converted them using Handbrake. I've double checked the format and they seem to be what's required from what I've read in other threads.
    I've also made sure they are in the "movies" category and not "home movies."
    I'm not the most computer savy person... most of what I know is just from reading threads.  Can someone help?
    Here is the format of a movie that's not showing up:
    H.264, 720 x 304, Millions
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.00 kHz
    Movie FPS: 23.98
    Playing FPS: 23.98
    Data Size: 1.24 GB
    Data Rate: 938.58 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 720 x 304 pixels
    Current Size: 720 x 304 pixles

    RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want.  The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store.  So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
    What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning.  So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
    As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

  • HT3951 I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
    I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

  • Rented Video on ATV not showing up in iTunes

    I have rented videos on my ATV with no problem and transferred them to iTunes. Now, today, a rented video on my ATV is not showing up in iTunes. Is there a setting that could have been changed?
    Any ideas?

    I just spoke with Apple Tech. Apparently, you can not transfer a movie that was purchased on the appletv over to the computer. This seems odd to me, but that is the information I have just received.
    i think you've been given wrong information then.
    afaik, as long as the movie is not HD, you can sync them back to itunes (just the same as purchasing tv shows - and i know this works as i do it).

  • Appletv not showing up in itunes

    My Apple TV is not showing up in Itunes.  While this should be easy to find an answer to this, I cannot.

    I'm having this problem since Feburary and when I called Apple they wanted me to pay $30 to solve this problem.  It's not even my fault or the appleTV.  It has to deal with the updates, because it's not a computer or network problem.  I can rent movies, purchase movies, tv and music anytime I want.  But to put on stuff from iTunes it's a whole different story.
    Did you ever figure it out?

  • My atv 1 is not showing up in iTunes 11

    I am using Apple TV 1 and ITunes 11. Apple TV is not showing up in ITunes. I tried everything possible but to no avail. Internet is working fine on Apple TV.  This is so frustrating. Anyone help please. Thanks

    I had the same problem and thought an update might fix it. Finally, after searching forever I got ahold of a phone number for Apple and knew they would ask for money to talk to me and they did.  They wanted right at $20 for one time phone support.  I said I was interested and simply asked the man "who I could talk to for free in order to find out if Apple was ever going to update the ATV1st gen to make it compatible with Windows 8."
    Now I do not know if you are using Windows 8 but my problem started when I got a new computer with Windows 8 and upgraded to iTunes 11.0 so I was never sure where the problem was; Windows 8 or iTunes 11.
    Anyway, I was told that there was little chance Apple would ever make it so our 1st Gen's would show up when using iTunes with Windows 8. He went on to say how the 1st Gen is obsolete. I replied "it's the only one with a Hard Drive and I do not want to stream movies."  He went on to say he would sent a request to Apple and if they got enough request they might change their minds but it was doubtful.
    I have purchased roughly 160-180 movies, two dozen TV series, and 150 or so Music Videos and now all my options for watching them on an actual TV are not great options. I have learned a lesson. DO NOT buy a product if future use of that product is dependent upon a companies mood of the moment. I mean folks who still have VCR's can actually watch those. I don't know why they would want to but they can. I am done with Apple.  I will now join one of the many "hate Apple" groups out there.

  • Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

    Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

    I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
    If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
    This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
    I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
    iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(

  • Ipod is not showing up in itunes

    my ipod is not showing up in itunes. What's going on?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
