Only SOME iTunes movies showing on iTV

So, I converted movies to MPG4 and MOV and dropped them into itunes. They all have the SAME settings but only SOME decide to show on apple tv.
What could be the problem?
This is REALLY driving me nuts!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
You will need to give us some more information about your workflow in converting these movies, there are a few reasons movies will mot play, including size and datarate. Both MOV and MPEG4 are containers which can contain various compression types within them, without knowing the type of compression used it's difficult to suggest a reason for your issues.

Some Itune movies showing Zero KB

I have made several mac movie mpeg-4 and quicktime movies; placed them in itunes movie section. Until today, they all played and I had no problems. Today they won't play, I looked at the original file in the finder, they are now show Zero KB. I have run Disk Utility and also Disk Warrior (itunes library is stored on an external hard drive). They have been tested, repaired and verified -- the files still show up as zero kb --- However, this is not happening to all of the files; there are still some files that show thee original number of KBs. Any Ideas?

ALSO - I did already run Spotlight to re-index...twice. No change.

Only some iTunes movies are seen by iMovie

I have around 60 video clips in my iTunes library, yet only 4 show up in iMovie '08 under "iPhoto Videos". Every clip in my library was shot with the same camera, using the same settings, same codec.
This is a fresh Leopard install with iMovie '08.

I'm not sure I understand, what makes you think itunes content should show up in iphoto videos.

How can I display all my e-mails. Only some of them show up now...thanks to an apple representative in the apple store

How can I display all my e-mails on all my Apple products? Only some of them show up now...thanks to an apple representative in the apple store. Also, he put my oldest emails in POP (???)

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
Thanks,
Brandon

Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

Some iTunes TV shows not playing on Apple TV (1st Gen)

I purchased several seasons of a show a couple of years ago. I used to have no problem syncing or streaming all of the seasons onto ATV. Recently, I can only stream or sync some of the shows. I can transfer the content that won't play on ATV to my iPhone or iPad with no problem. I use Custom Sync and when I click sync, the sync icon starts but then immediately stops. ATV also won't "see" those shows when attempting to stream. I have tried resetting ATV to factory and then installing all updates; nothing works. Help.

There are a couple of posibilities.
Make sure the tick box next to the individual episodes are checked in the TV Show section (not the AppleTV device section).
Your itunes database may be corrupted and tripping over in some way. Unlikely if you can transfer to iPhone.
Could you have deleted/moved the files using Finder and itunes still thinks they're there but can't find them? Unlikely if you can transfer to iPhone.
iTunes may for some reason be thinking these files are not compatible with AppleTV 1 - possible if there's been some change to the way iTunes assesses suitability for AppleTV.
iTunes is failing to sync with AppleTV due to a network issue.
Personally, I would try both the following:
1 - Ensure you have a backup of the TV Shows outside of iTunes. Delete the TV Shows from iTunes. Re-add them from the backup. Try again.
2 - Create a new test user account, configure AppleTV for sharing/streaming only under AppleTV's Computers menu for this iTunes. Add the problem files to the new user iTunes account, do they work from there?

Only some LR adjustments shows up in PS

Very annoying problem I have never had before:
When I use send an image from LR to PS using "Edit in..." Only some of the LR adjustments show up in PS. (E.g. color adjustments are visible while crop and exposure are not). All versions (LR, PS, ACR) are the newest. I am on mac OSX 10.9.1.
Please help!
Thanks :-)

Since Photoshop is involved, you might try resetting PS's preferences as well:
Windows - Press and hold CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon until you are asked to reset.
Macintosh - Press and hold CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon until you are asked to reset.

Volume issues with some itunes movies

I just downloaded the movie Sucker Punch, but when i play it on itunes the volume is very low. i don't have that problem with downloaded music, just with some movies and it's not the first time it happens, this has happened multiple times in the past.
all my softwares are up to date as far as i can tell, itunes 11.0.4, on a mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo.
It a bit frustrating because i can't seem to do anything about it, which renders itunes movie store pretty useless to me.
Please help..

Hi, aloosh1.
This can happen depending on how the media was created. However, there is a solution. Most media volume can be adjusted by selecting the media, either control click or select the file menu from the menu bar and choose Get Info. From there you can select the options tab and adjust the volume. I have attached a screen shot of the process for reference.
Hope this helps.

Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,
Eloise15.

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

Iphoto only some albums are showing so that I can email?

Hiya
I'm trying to email an album of photos. I've got several albums, but only a few of them are showing with pictures in? I import photos every day so not sure why they are not working now!

what version of iPhoto and of the OS? please explain your situation more clearly - I have not idea what you are asking - for example photos are no in albums unless you put them there - when you import photos are in events or photos - albums have to be manually made or created using smart albums - can you email the photos form the events?

HT4623 Cannot get Some ITunes movies that were downloaded onto an iPad and then removed back onto that iPad. Any hints on getting these back on the iPad?

All 3 Apple devices are updated to the latest versions.

If the movies are no longer available in the iTunes Store, you cannot download them again.
If you have certain content resticted you may not be able to download them again. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>Movies.
Any more hints from you as to what you are actually and specifically doing in actual context - that might make it easier to offer help?

Only some buddy icons showing

One of my users has only a couple of his buddy icons showing up in iChat. The rest of us show as a generic user. View buddy icons is turned on. Thoughts?

Hi,
Providing the Buddies have Buddy Pics themselves then his iChat should be seeing them.
If he has the AIM Screen name and has added "Real Name" in iChat then he will have an Address Book entry for that person.
The Address Book will this tend to display the Buddy icon/pic from iChat (if there was/is one).
In iChat if you highlight a Buddy then do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) you do get an option about which pic you can use.
The Default is the one from the iChat servers,with the one from the Address Book being "next" although you can also chose one and "Set" it permanently.
I run an app called Little Snitch which will tell you which ports and IP address an App will try to connect to.
As well as the Login server iChat connects to a Buddy pic server.
Any change this is being blocked ?

Why cant I edit movie information on some iTunes movie files?

On most imported files you can go to 'Get Information' and edit the movie information, add image, etc. For some reason I cant figure out, some moves have grey'ed out information fields that cannot be changed. Why? How can I prevent this scenario again?

I gotta agree on Meg on this one...I just bought a 500g drive on sale for $119 EXCLUSIVELY for the sole use of my 80g iPod...I know, I know...probably way overkill, and I may yet wind up using a little for some backup purposes...but I'm in the mindset that I want to use externals for SINGLE purposes...photos...music....etc....makes for alot better organization....
I also have a 1 terabyte drive I picked up on sale a while back I use exclusively for backups as I completely lost two external drives after a recent move....I CANNOT stress folks the importance of BACKUPS....they are IMPORTANT.....I lost critical video editing data that I will NEVER get back....
I learned my lesson....

How will i be able to update my iphone 3gs to ios 4.3 only. my itunes is showing update to ios 5.0 but i dont want that version yet, i want the version 4.3. my phone is still on the version 4.2.1

can someone help me?

You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
(Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
What are your thoughts, folks?

If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:
