Organizing Kid's Movies (including artwork) under TV Shows

With two young kids, I'm trying to keep all their programs together. So I created a "Kid's Movies" TV Show under the TV Shows tab in iTunes. I keep all the movies under the "Kid's Movies" heading o that I can access them easily.
The problem I have is with the artwork. When I click on the artwork to show all movies - the artwork defaults to the first movie in the list; and all other movies show the same artwork. I have artwork for each movie - I just can't get it to show.
This is also the same for my AppleTV. When I scroll through my movies - the artwork doesn't change - the only artwork that is shown is for the first movie.
Suggestions???

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version. Any ideas??

ME TOO.
I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
* movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
* for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
* Items are showing up multiple times.
* A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
* Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
* Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

How do I print a list of movies with artwork by title

I can't believe that after all the years iTunes has been out that they have not fixed this glitch. I want to print a list of my movies, with artwork. The problem is, although iTunes shows that my movies are sorted by Title, the print insists on sorting them by Artist. This just won't work as the Artists contains a list of the actors in the movie. iTunes also does not give you the option on what to include or exlude when printing a movie list.
Are there any 3rd party apps out there that can import the movie database, with artwork, and print a grid list?

So I think I have figured out a work around last night. When I look at the "Get info" on a movie and go to the Sorting tab, I just need to copy the Name into the Sort Artist field. My movies finally print in alphabetical order with artwork. Now if only Apple would fix that glitch at some point.

ITunes organize home movies including mobile format with AppleTV & iPhone?

I use both AppleTV and iPhone to watch and play home movies. I currently organize my home movies under TV Shows and then organize each movie by year. For example - I may have 6 home movies under "Home Movies 2008" and 7 movies under "Home Movies 2009." iTunes organizes the home movies like it would TV Shows so I can see how many movies I have under each heading.
What is the best way to organize movies that are formatted to play on my iPhone? I may have the same name for a movie in 720p and iPhone format. Anyone currently organizing a successful way when utilizing AppleTV and iPhone? Recommendations?

maybe you and apple disagree when something is hd
apple sd movies are around 853x480 pixels

Previously Purchased Movie on iTunes No Longer Showing Up Under Purchased Items

I purchased a movie from iTunes in November 2012 (Coldplay: Live 2012) and it wasn't showing up on my AppleTV Purchased movies section (wanting to use the iTunes Extra feature on recent AppleTV 6.2 update). I've checked other threads and it was suggested to check my account for Hidden Purchases. The movie I purchased does not show up under Hidden Purchases.
I then checked Purchased items from the main iTunes page, and I don't even see the movie listed there, even though I have a record of the purchase through my Purchase History under My Account.
Any suggestions on how to get this to show up under my Purchased items on iTunes or AppleTV?

I am having similar problems buying movies. The rights issue occurs even if iTunes change or reduces the price of a movie. I now have to check my saved library of past purchases to confirm I do not already have the movie to avoid buying it again.The latest occurrence was fifth element.
It would be really useful if apple would allow you to download a full copy of your past purchases as it is no longer possible to rely on the iTunes store to match your own downloaded content library and the current licenses it holds. This also plays havoc with genius recommendations for purchases.
It would be nice if apple could buy Time/Warner or another media giant so we could break this monopoly of selling the same content over and over again by simply changing the format or metadata of a product.

Movies Cover Flow Artwork Doesn't Show

Since upgrading to v10.6.1 my movies artwork does not show in cover flow nor on my ATVs. When new movies are added the artwork shows for a few days then disappears. Using Get Info shows the artwork is present in the file, closing the by closing the Get Info window the artwork then reappears in iTunes + ATVs - almost as if some kind if refresh is needed. Anybody else experiencing this problem if so have you found a solution?

Ablo,
Thanks for posting great information about track artwork & poster frames. In addition to being visually appealing, creating track artwork can have educational benefits. Some institutions place an image of the speaker as the track artwork, see:
Say it Plain
American Public Media
http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/americanpublicmedia.org.1349 360438
Or in this example Liberty Science Center has placed an image of the animal discussed in each item so that a user can view it as they learn about it on their iPhone or iPod:

You are correct in your first post when you say you were able to replace the poster frame (or empty artwork) with specific artwork that you have designed to represent the content using the Get Info panel in iTunes. You are also correct when you specify this needs to be done prior to uploading your content to iTunes U.
Have you checked the Track Preferences within your iTunes U site? There you will find the option to "Override with Course Page image" if this is set, then it's the reason you are not able to see the artwork that you have just uploaded. A better preference is "If empty, use course page image." When this is set your specific track artwork will be used but in instance where none is present, iTunes U will use the course page image.

Movie poster Artwork Out-of-Focus and blurry?

Is anyone having a problem with movie poster artwork imported into itunes (added in the get info menu area for artwork) that now appears "blurry" or "out-of focus" in cover flow, etc. and the synced version in appletv. This happened right after upgrading to 8.0.1. My previous movie posters are just fine that were imported "prior" to upgrading to itunes 8? What gives? They are somehow blurry or low-res?

I downloaded photos into iphoto
From where? Again, what are typical pixel dimensions of those photos that show blurry, i.e. how small are they?

Album Artwork won't show on iPod Touch

I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on my Windows Vista laptop and iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch. I have transferred some new albums to the iPod and the album artwork don't show on the iPod. It does show up in iTunes and if I look on my iPod through iTunes, I see the artwork when I "get info" but it won't show up on the iPod itself. Anyone out there having the same problem?

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Album artwork doesn't show up on ipod

My album artwork doesn't show up for songs that i currently just burned off a cd. it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod

Hey there,
Make sure that you have "Include Album Artwork" checked under the Music tab screen that you can access when you plug your iPod in. See if that helps.

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter. How do I fix that?

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app

My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.
Feed: http://www.thelegalseagull.com/feed/podcast
iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-legal-seagull-podcast/id886005819?mt=2
Thanks!

OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

Artwork doesn't show with version 5.0.1

I updated my ipod with the iOS 5.0.1. The album artwork doesn't show even if they all appears in Itune. Any idea to resolve this problem?

I just ran into the same problem with an iPhone 4S: contact names and photos stopped showing up on incoming calls or in the recent/missed calls list. I took my phone to the Genius Bar and they ran a diagnostic to confirm there was nothing wrong with the phone hardware. Their suggestion, which worked:
Update iTunes to the latest version.
Sync your phone with your computer via iTunes. Make sure that the sync options are selected under each tab (Sync Contacts, Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc..) so everything is backed up onto the computer.
In iTunes, select the Summary tab for the phone and click on Restore to wipe out the software and restore it.
When the system asks, restore as a new phone (instead of restoring from backup)
Once it's done, walk through the initial phone setup and re-sync your phone to get all of your contacts, apps, music, etc.
The explanation I got was that something in the software got corrupted and if I restored from a backup, the corruption would still be there, so I needed to restore it as a new phone and re-sync my data on to it. Bottom line is it worked, and I hope this saves some time and a trip to the Apple Store for you or anyone else that might run into this issue.
Good luck getting it resolved!
