Hi,
Must be something is not quite right with your machine. How do you install them ? Can you see them under Programs list ?
Just for photo first, please right click a photo, select properties, click Change. Can you see Irfanview in the list ?

How do I access my pictures and home videos from my desktop on my apple TV? only my music and movies in itunes is showing up.

How do I access my pictures and home videos from my desktop on my apple TV? only my music and movies in itunes is showing up. My icloud pics are coming up but nothing on my desktop.

You would need to have home sharing enabled on Apple TV and iTunes.
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
They would be accessed by going to the Computers icon on Apple TV. . Your computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb. With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv. Does anyone know how I can do it?

While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes. Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located. There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky. If it's just one or two try: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

Best way to organize photos and home video

Looking for the optimum way to organize photos and home videos. Goal is to have all devices have equal access to all the media. Just as important is for this to be as easy as possible to maintain and use.
Have an iMac with iTunes and iPhoto
Have multiple iOS devices with different family members each of whom take photos and videos with their devices
Have multiple Apple TVs
iMac will be the hub with wifi synching
Right now about 30,000 files probably 1000 are videos (and growing)
I don't do any editing of photos or videos
Current set up is through iPhoto. I am importing all images not using the reference option. This worked fine until we started taking more videos which made for a large 200gb iPhoto library which barely loads even with 16gb ram.
I want to use iPhoto not iTunes because I keep everything organized by event, that includes photos and videos. And I don't want 2 separate organizing options to keep track of.
Most of my library is also available outside of iPhoto, I have a back up so I could use the reference feature of iPhoto which would mean a smaller library. However we use photostream on all iOS devices which has the feature that automatically imports into iPhoto. So I don't have to worry about those photos - it's easy. But then i would have some media copied into the library and some referenced. This doesn't work for videos so I will need to copy them.
I have a copy of iPhoto library manager software which could solve the excessive library size. That's cumbersome because I have to sync the correct library with the iOS devices and also make sure photostream is In the right library. I have only used this software a little so I could be wrong about this solution.
I appreciate any ideas that might work. Of course let me know if I am missing something, I am sure I am.
Would Aperture be a better solution? Some other software?

1 - do not change to a referenced library with iPhoto - it has many problems and should not be done - if you switch to Aperture it is ok - Aperture handles referenced libraries fine
2 - iPhoto does not load your entire library and while 200 GB is large it is not giant and is not causing you an problems - if you ave problems please describe them and will try to help with thme -it is not libary size - My library is 263 GB and I have 8GB of RAM and there are no issues
3 - not sure what your constraints are but for me having all IOS devices logged into iCoud using the same Apple ID work best - the downside is that we all see the same things - which is our desire and I think yours

Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

IPad Video app mixes Movies and Home Video Kinds

In iTunes I have videos that are of 'Video Kind' Movie and also 'Video Kind' Home Video. These show up nicely on the AppleTV, segregated according to their "Kind". On my iPad Air, however, the Video app mixes them all together under its heading of "Movies" when I use Home Sharing to access my iTunes Library from the iPad.
How can I get my Home Videos to be distinguished from my Movies on the iPad?
(And, is there any way to have the title show up on the thumbnail page? In combination I have thousands of shows and it's hard to tell what's what!)

Hello Brian,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue playing iTunes Store content on your iPad Air, and you’ve already tried restarting the device and syncing the movies a second time. If you haven’t already, try backing up and restoring the device as shown in the article linked below.

My os doesn't support upgrade of firefox but now can't reply with emails on hotmail or open pics and other applications with older firefox. How to solve this?

I have an older imac. It works well but I can't open a lot of files/applications or even reply to emails on updated hotmail version. My os is 10.2.8 and I am using 2.0.0.20. My OS can't handle later versions. I can't buy latest upgrade from MAC (snow leopard or whatever latest is) because my computer not compatible with higher/newer upgrades. I want to use my computer but be able to have hotmail work and open pics etc. I don't know what to do.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today is when I can no longer reply with hotmail, they ask me to upgrade to newer but need higher firefox to do so.

Following the Hotmail update by Microsoft, they have dropped support for Firefox 2, and now require at least Firefox 3, which will not run on your OS. Hotmail now requires at least Safari 4 so that is not an option for you either.
There are a couple of browsers you could try, they are not specifically mentioned on the system requirements for Hotmail so I can not guarantee that they will work. The first is [http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=9.64&local=y Opera 9.64] (Opera 10 will not run on your OS) and [http://www.icab.de/dl.php iCab 4.8]

Converting dvds and home videos

Is there a way to convert dvd's recorded on the comp and also home videos to mp4? if so how i would like to watch them on the ipod

Pocket DVD Wizard is doing a good job for me with DVDs, and it also converts other types of video files. Was ~$30. Very easy to use wizard system. Most all the others I tried were very cumbersome, two-step processes.

How do you get your cd pic and music videos on here?

Well i just bought a music video on itunes can you not put music videos on there and also arent you suppose to be able to see the cover of the cd on your ipod? HELP PLEASE!!!!

Ok Arctic Cat M6 & Superman56,
SuperTiti is here :-D !!!
Well, you have 2 possiblities !
You scan the cover from your CD or you download it from Amazon.com for exemple...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AA300W/ref=pdcpt_gwi/102-9319419-2141713?n=5174 ...then you click on "see larger image" and download the bigger picture !
Once done, open iTunes, select the album in the album section of iTunes then type "cmd+i" ( may be "ctrl+i" on Win$ ). Then just drag and drop the picture in the little window made for !
Then drag the album to your Nano...
IPORTANT : The picture(s) can not be added directly to the iPod thru iTunes ! It MUST be added to iTunes first, then you drag the song or the album to your iPod !
Easy no ?
See Ya

Why doesn't my iPhone 4S take hi-res pics and HD video?

I have noticed that the pics that come out of my iPhone are onely about 115Kb in size and therefore very low resolution - it's suposed to be a 5Megapixel camera.
The same goes for the video - supposed to HD, right? I only get 420 X 320 (or something).
Why don't I get the full resolution on the photos and videos I take?
There is obviously something I'm not getting or doing wrong. Can't be a faulty phone, can it?? -Does anyone have a solution?

There are actually two cameras on it. One on the front, and one on the back. The one on the front (where the screen is), is a low resolution camery. The one on the back (where the Apple logo is) is the high resolution cam.
Which one are you using?

Problems with opening apps and playing videos

This may seem long but I'm only trying to state all the facts so I don't miss anything that someone can help me with
PLEASE HELP ME!!
About a month ago I got a new ipod touch, with the 2.1.1 or whatever software. I haven't upgraded it.
I first spent hours putting music on, then added applications.
Both music and applications worked.
Then I put on a movie and 5 music videos.
The videos/movie all worked but the apps wouldn't open.
I checked online for app upgrades, none available.
I tried deleting the apps from both the ipod and my itunes, then rebought them and replaced them on my ipod. Didn't work.
Music still worked. Then the videos stopped working. No videos/no apps.
Then I tried restoring, all that jazz that these forums recommended. I restored to factory settings, nothing seemed to work until I erased everything (somewhere in settings on the ipod it says you can erase the drive and it takes about an hour) and after that, started over.
Put the music on, worked.
Put the apps on first, they worked.
Put the videos on, they worked.
Didn't turn the ipod off for three weeks in fear that if I had to restart it, nothing would work again.
Tried to add another app AFTER the movies were the last thing I added, and when the app wouldn't work, I deleted it from both the ipod and my itunes.
Then I tried to start the other apps, they work.
PROBLEM is that my movies/videos don't work now! It says "Cannot play this video."
What the ****. I read before something about the mpeg4 format of movies not allowing apps to open up, but this time I tried to add an app and it wouldn't play the movie. I guess a lot of people are having this problem? Anyone have any new suggestions before I have to erase EVERYTHING, AGAIN from my ipod??
Thanks!!

Hi, here's an update I just posted on another thread on the same issue:
Okay, update from my end.
I did a restore of my Touch. When I restored, I had the choice of "set up as new iPod" or restore from my old iPod Touch. When I clicked on my old iPod name, and hit the scroll arrow to the side, it opened and there were 4 options; previous back ups. I chose my iPod name from August 8, 2009 and restored using that.
After the restore, sync, etc., all music videos & apps are reloaded, working, and my software is 3.1.2.
So, I can't say why the apps & videos wouldn't open after working for several months, but as others have suggested, try restore. However, when given the choice to "set up as new iPod" in iTunes or restore to your previous, click on the scroll where your old iPod is listed, see how many you may have in the history, and pick one a couple months back.
Hopefully this will help some of you out there.

I like to use the songs I made on GarageBand as soundtrack for home video, what app should I use for that on my iPad ?

So I have made some cool songs using the GarageBand app and want to take it to the next level and add visual media like pics and home video to the songs..what app will work on my iPad that allows me to export songs from GarageBand app so I can make music videos.Thank you .

iMovie for the iPad will do exactly what you want. You can send audio from GarageBand on an iOS device directly to iMovie, where you can bring together pictures and videos you have on your iPad.

How do I transfer my home videos and pictures from my iPad back to my desktop?

My desktop hardrive recently crashed. The only copies I have of my photos and home movies are on my iPad. I was able to transfer my music from my iPad to my new desktop but not my photos and home videos. Please help. Thanks

There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can transfer photos and videos from your iPad to your computer via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer. A backup would have been able to copy back the original non-'optimised' versions

Moving home videos to the ipad

how do you import a home video on a laptop to the ipad? When dragged to the itunes folder nothing happens.

What you have done is to add the movie to Itunes on the computer not your iPad
To get it on your iPad either Click on the Device name to the left of the Itunes Store Button. Or enable the Sidebar View > Show Sidebar in the main menu and then click on your device
On the right hand side will be the Device Sync pages. Select Movies ( Movies and Home Videos should appear together) choose the movie you want to go onto the ipad and click Apply bottom right.

The iTunes11 "Home Video" debacle white paper

The "stik" atom is a value within an mpeg file indictes the type of video it is (Movie, TVShow, MusicVideo, HomeVideo, etc). The stik atom has used both the value 0 and 9 for movies. It seems that the value 0 was deprecated a while back, but prior to iTunes11, value of 0 still defaulted to a movie. It seems that value 0 has now been (in iTunes11) re-defined to indicate a new catagory called "Home Video."
When you first drag or add an encode into iTunes, iTunes reads this atom value from the file. If iTunes sees a 9 then iTunes considers it a Movie. If it sees a 0 (or no stik atom) then it considers it a Home Video and sorts the encode into the "Home Videos" tab.
Many tagging/encoding softwares (like MetaZ/MetaX) have historically written the value 0 to the stik atom when the user assigned the type "Movie" to the encode. This wasn't a problem before iTunes11. But now it is. All encodes that were tagged with MetaZ contain a stik of 0 for movies, and thus will group them as Home Videos when dragged into iTunes11. If the encodes were already in iTunes' library when you updated to iTunes11, they will remain grouped as movies, unless you remove them from your library and re-add them. Then they will appear as Home Videos. This is because iTunes only reads the stik atom once, when the encode is added to the library. After an encode is added, you might change the Type in iTunes "get info", but iTunes does not write a new Stik to the file, it only updates its internal database. Thus you may have a lot of encodes which iTunes will continue to consider Movies for now, but by file specification, they are now Home Videos.. and if you rebuild your library for some reason, you'll wind up with a load of Home Videos.
(MetaZ has been updated as of v1.0a13, 04-Dec-2012 and now writes a value of 9 to the atom for movies.)
A solution proposed by many on this forum to the problem of mis-categorized encodes is using iTunes' GetInfo tab to change encodes' type from Home Video to Movie, or vice versa. As I mention above, iTunes does not write this change to the file, only to iTunes' internal database. So iTunes' definition of the file differs from the file's own self-identity. Smart!
Another oddity is that the AppleTV GUI (as of 5.1.1) does not offer the same Home Video grouping that iTunes11 does. On the AppleTV, both types are displayed merged as Movies in the movie list. So it seems that Itunes11 catagorization has departed importantly from iOS.
You should also be aware that as of this date, although iTunes' GUI now differentiates between Movies and Home Videos, iTunes applescript interface does not seem to have been updated. When using Applescript to determine the type of an encode, a Home Video will be returned as a Movie.
Using Applescript to set the video kind (type) does not seem to coax iTunes to write to the file either, only its internal database.

Hi Jan,
I've one remark regarding the way you have implemented your CompareDatesRule.
In the SRDemo, the implementation is different.
When I try to follow the steps described in 6.1.2.1.3, I got a completely different generated class that looks more that what has been done in the SRdemo.
My generated validation class implements JboValidatorInterface (which is not exactly what is done in SRDemo !) and not JbiValidator as your code show.
Could you comment on the pros and cons of each approach please ?
Thanks,
Seb.
PS : I've found the following on Steve Muench's blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/10/20/creatingAReusableDateRangeValidationRule.html
which rather goes your way. Since SRDemo is more recent, is it an indication of the orientation taken by the ADF BC validation APIs ?
