My Movie, My TV Shows and My Music Menu dissappeared

I recently updated my wireless to allow for better connection between my macbook and apple tv. Now the Apple Tv seems to be working properly but the menus for Moveis, Tv Shows and Music now only show "My" content as the only option. This means that I can't search or download on the appletv. Does anyone know what I have done???
Thanks

This is just a guess, but it sounds like your AppleTV and iTunes aren't linked. You need to make sure it is by going to your AppleTV and adding back your computer. It will give you a code, and it may have to resync everything, but hopefully not. It happened to me when I went from the old Airport extreme to the newer one. It was a bit frustrating!

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

I have lost all my movies, t.v.shows and music, how do I get them back

My computer shot down a couple of times, so I went to have it repaired. The technician needed to reboot the whole system so he save my movies, t.v. shows, apps, music and all on another harddrive. While he was at it I requested to have him installed the new window version Windows 7 Professionnel. Since that awful idea of mine, not only can I not watched or have acces to my movies, t.v. shows, music etc. now the system is telling me there is an incompatibility with windows and Itune, but before this I upgraded Itunes to version 10.06 something, so now the movies that I download work alright they just don't have sound anymore. I can listen and play with my games and all and the sound is fantastic but I soon as I use Itunes, I hear silence and it freezes all the time. I am ****** at Itunes for not being able to help me out, everytime I tried to have contact with a technician I also hear silence, ain't that a kick in the butt. So can anyone out there help me, I have tried many things suggested by people that had the same problem but to no vail, nothing works. I am also wondering about my 300 movies and 400 songs that I have paid for, what will Itunes do to help me out?
Thank you for all your help,

I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

Taking DVD movies or tv show and putting them on iTunes

Windows XP Pro
Is there a way to take DVD's from my collection of movies and TV shows and add them to iTunes and/or iPod with video?
I know about the copyright laws, but I dont't think it is right that I can't make a copy of a dvd that I bought and have it on iTunes and/or iPod so I can watch it that way.
If I can buy a music cd at a store and have a copy on iTunes and/or iPod, I should be able to do the same thing with a dvd.

Hello Fash98,
It sounds like your videos in iTunes are having issues playing back on your PC. I recommend you try either of these 2 articles depending on the version of your operating system:

Can i show and play music from my external hard drive in iTunes without adding it to my Mac hard drive?

I have more music than I can keep on my Macbook hard drive by over 200GB. I'm hoping to be able to show and play all music from my external hard drive in iTunes without having to add any of it to my Macbook Hard Drive

Hello B3NN13,
If you would like to add the music from your external hard drive to iTunes without copying it to the iTunes Library on your internal hard drive, you may find the following article helpful:
Add files to your library without adding them to your iTunes folder
When you add an item already on your computer to your iTunes library, iTunes places a copy of the file in your iTunes folder. The original file remains in its current location.
You can change this setting so that files are added to your iTunes library without being added to the iTunes folder. You might want to do this, for example, if you prefer to store video files on an external disk but still want to view them in iTunes.
Choose iTunes > Preferences, and click Advanced.
Deselect the checkbox next to “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.”
From now on, when you drag a file to your library or choose File > Add to Library, the item appears in iTunes, but the actual file isn’t copied or moved.
Tip: You can temporarily reverse this setting by holding down the Option key while you drag files to the iTunes window.
iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored

Ipod to tv slide show and play music

Hi
I want play a slide show with my pictures and play music through the ipod as well. I have a dock connecter which connects through S video and sound through red and white connector leads. When the ipod is not in the dock i can do both but i can only do one or the other when plugged in.
It's the new 80g ipod which I have, is there somthing that I am doing wrong, is it possible to do both any help would be great
thanks

Hi
I have an Ipod80G as well.
But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?

Classic: will not recharge; apple logo flashes every few seconds then fades away; have tried the 'reboot' advice i.e. move hold switch on and off, hold menu and center button, no success. have tried this many times and kept connected for several hours.

I have a classic, several years old.
It will not recharge; the Apple logo flashes every few seconds then disappears.
I have tried the 'reboot' advice i.e. move the Hold switch on and off, hold the Menu and Center buttons, no success.
I have tried this many times and kept the ipod connected for several hours. And I have tried two different cords, one connected to the desktop computer, one connected to electrical outlet.

Movies and TV Shows Missing form iPod menu -- what's up with that?

I purchased my fist movie and TV episode last night to see how well I will like them on my iPod classic. I am connecting to the most up to date version of iTunes on my IBM/Win XP computer.
I watched the episode (Journeyman's first episode -- missed it on Monday...it's not bad) and was pleased. Then watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- also enjoyable even at the small size (especially the opening sequence which emulates "home movie" style in a very small frame).
Near the end of the movie, my iPod battery was giving up the ghost, so I paused the movie and plugged in. After waiting out the "Do not disconnect..." syncing process the main menu finally appeared on the iPod -- but the Movie and TV Shows selections were conspicuously missing from the menu! I have not seen my Movie/TV episode since.
They are in the iTunes library, obviously, but they simply never show up in the iPod menu. So far I have sync'd a number of times -- the sync settings were originally set by default to sync all songs, podcasts, TV Shows, Movies, Songs, etc... I tried "tweaking" these but to no avail. All syncs result in no Movie or TV Shows on the iPod menu.
Most recently I tried deleting all material from the iPod and then re-syncing all material back to the iPod (no help) and lastly I tried resetting to factory default settings (which originally seemed to work just fine) still to no avail.
When I select Settings >> Main Menu ... from the iPod main menu, the configuration screen also does not contain options for Movies or TV Shows.
It all makes me say "Hmmmm...." and leaves me reluctant to waste money on video media (though thank god my Tiki TV podcasts are still coming through just fine ... no Lala? I don't think so!). Nope, check that! video podcasts are not coming through either. GEEZE!
Has anyone experienced this before? Again, I've updated all iPod and iTunes software. Nothing "funky" seemed to happen to cause the problem, other than it conincided with plugging my iPod in (which kicks off the blasted sync process -- geeze these settings are a pain...I'd prefer the blasted thing to just sync on demand) >:-( Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated. Without a solution, I'll never be able to keep up with Journeyman!
Thanks
NK

No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened:
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501. The next one gets #502, etc. Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups; click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options. Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502.
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration? Have you done any new backups? If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily. Make it an Admin account. Log on to it and delete all the other accounts. Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup. There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
Clear as mud?

Reclassification of Movies to TV Shows

H Guys, hoping i could get some help.
I'm a little OCD about my itunes and keeping it sorted right. I usually just 'Get Info' and re class a lot of movies into TV Shows and then use the 'Show' function to arrange into seasons, however for some reason today, this has stopped working.
The item gets the show, episode etc.. and the still has TV Show in 'Get Info', but it stays in the movie filter rather than moving to TV Show.
Any one else eve rhad this happen?
Thanks in advance

Right click on the movie file in itunes, choose get info, and from the video kind tab change it to tv show. Also make sure you fill in something for the show name.

TS3276 the images (attachments) are automatically resized (smaller) when I send them to a customer. My email screen does not show a drop down menu box where you can leave as actual size. Is there a setting elsewhere that can be set.

Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem. I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
Thanks

What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

Firefox Show Bookmark button when Menu is visible

Just updated to FF25 from FF22, and decided to have the Menu tool bar visible, and all was fine. Until I restarted FF and now my Bookmark Drop down BUTTON is gone. I go to customize, and the button reappears, but as soon as I close the customize window it goes away. I then hide the Menu Toolbar, so just the Menu Title bar button appears and the Bookmark Drop down button reappears. WTH? Why must every time FF is updated I have to spend time scrounging Google to "fix" things to how they were?
So how do I get the Bookmarks Drop Down Button to show AND have the Menu Toolbar visible at the same time? To address those who will ask, why? or there is a Bookmarks text drop down already in the Menu Toolbar, I DON'T CARE! I want the functionality back and am frankly sick an tired of all these little tweeks FF does with no notes on what they did or why. Also another problem I just discovered. My Downloads arrow is normal button size, but when there is a download, it bloats to about 5 buttons wide and 2 buttons tall, and the progress bar is half of that height! When before it would all stay withing the single button size dimensions. So now I have to also remove that from the tool bars, as it makes the whole bar 2x the height.
This is harsh but I am so frustrated with the whole thing. When they worked fine before, and I only updated for the new features and security, but every time the FF team decides to mess around with features that have been there for months or years, it drives me crazy.

Found a link that showed me how to edit a userchrome file which allowed me to force the bookmark icon to always display regardless of what mode the menu bar is in.
Seriously FF you are ridiculous.

I'm using itunes from my mac mini and all my purchased content shows up in my itunes library. However, I synched it with my apple tv and many of the shows, music, and movies don't show up on the computer library on the apple tv. Any ideas?

I have a mac mini that I use my itunes on. Purchased content shows up fine on the itunes library, movies, tv shows and music. I have linked my apple tv to it. When I check my computer library via the apple tv many of the movies, music and tv shows are missing. How can I fix this?

My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's. He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music. He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything. I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!

Unfortunately the situation is thus...

I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.
