Organizing videos and movies in iTunes

I have a lot of videos that I want to watch on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Is there a way to organize these videos into folders or anything like it in iTunes? I've tried naming the same album name for a bunch of related videos, nothing happened, my movies library on iTunes is still unorganized. Please help.

movies, tv shows, tunes ...
What's the difference between playlists and playlists' folders??
you can place various playlists into a playlist folder.
And since my iPad haven't arrived yet, how will I see them on it? Will I see folders and then access them to choose which video I want to play? Please help.
we don't have the iPad in Germany yet - go check out the iPad forum. i can tell you that on an iPod Touch you would find a separate entry for the playlist folder under playlists.

No sound on purchased videos and movies after iTunes upgrade

I have iTunes 10.4.1.10 / Quicktime 7.7 on my desktop, purchased music videos and movies will not play the sound. Non purchased movies play the sound ok ?!?!?
I have iTunes 10.1.2.17 / Quicktime 7.6.9 on a netbook and all play ok.
Suggests that there is a configuration problem that theyare not telling the users about. Please can you advise what the problem is and a solution?

YouTube uses Adobe Flash, maybe you can re-install Flash or right click on the video and check the sound settings

Hello.
I need help deleting videos, tv shows, and movies downloaded from itunes. I have followed the instructions to delete from the macbook, I selected the videos I wanted to delete and right clicked to delete. Nothing happens. When I double click on the video it still starts playing. I also followed the instructions to delete the videos from the iphone by swiping from left to right with nothing happening. I opened the videos on the ipad and there is no edit selection like in the instructions on the support page. Can you please tell me how to permanently remove this content so it doesn't try to copy from each device when I want to back up the Iphone and Ipad to my macbook. Thank you.

Comprehensive overview/question about organizing videos and movies

I've made a few movies here and there in the original iMovie, have made a fair amount of home movies using FCE. I have 20 years worth of videos scattered around on HI-8 formatting and some videos I downloaded from a hand held digital cheapo-movie cam. I'm to the point of trying to figure out the big picture on importing, structuring, storing, and sharing these files between iMovie, FCEHD 3.5.1, mobileme, my iPhone, etc.
I'm now wanting to start uploading movies to gallery.me.com. I started doing some of this before I got cancer last year. I'm basically restarting this whole process now that I'm beyond the rigors of chemotherapy and I'm trying to make a systematic approach to managing video files and already made movies. I have a lot of questions and would appreciate any insight you can offer in this discussion forum or if you recommend I copy this over to another discussion forum. I'm not sure to even begin hot to explain all this, so be patient as I try to start this process.
#1 - I've tried using iMovie 8 in the past. I ended up, somehow, with clips here, there, and who knows where. The original iMovie seemed rather straight forward and seemed to work in conjunction with iPhoto rather seamlessly. As iMovie made that big change some time back, I quickly backed out of using that program to manage clips as I couldn't find where they were stored and more importantly, they seemed to start disappearing after time. Is iMove 08 a good resource to manage clips or is it a bit of a dead end for people who are using various programs such as FCE and so forth? Seems the transparency of how the newer iMovie manages files is a bit not-so-transparent to me anymore and I simply am not finding many of the files in iMovie 08 that I can easily spot in iPhoto. Not sure what has happened there, but I can find the files in iPhoto and browse them, but NOT in iMovie 08. Help?
#2 - the only real reason I'm asking about iMovie at all is that I want to start uploading files from HI-8 tapes into my computer rather quickly and make simple basically unedited videos of what is on the Hi-8 tapes, then perhaps transport onto mobileme and/or make some DVD's. I did a few of those somehow before the cancer/chemo deal, but can't really recall the exact steps I took. Rough bout with cancer last year and my brain is a bit fried to be honest, not to mention all of this is a big hard to grasp deal for a RN who isn't trained in video stuff at this point in his life. Besides, I ended up having to reinstall my entire OS - long story. Bottom line, the few movies I do have on mobileme are in .m4v format. Not a big deal when using my mac at home, but notice that it causes iTunes to load onto my pc's at work or when visiting friends. Slow, clunky, and not sure how it wound up in that format. I'm thinking I did that somehow through iMovie or Quicktime 7 Pro. Before I go that route again, I need to ask about #3.
#3 - I just exported my first high definition video from FCE. I did so because we got our first new TV in 22 years, nice HD flat screen. I'm wanting to start understanding options for exporting videos onto mobileme. I got Quicktime Pro 7 and used the H264 or some option like that (file>share). It was able to take 1.5 gig high def video I did over my cancer journey and put it seamlessly onto mobileme. But it is in the .m4v video option which seems to cause some people and computers problems because of the whole proprietary iTunes angle. Is there a way around this being forced to use iTunes and simply share to mobileme gallery using .mov? I tried the file>export option, seems to want to use movie folder and I'm guessing that is another iTunes deal.
#4 - as I load files into my computer from HI-8 format and the newer cheap little HD dual SD card camera I got, those seem to either want to go into iMovie's folders (which I mentioned my confusion about above) or I can manually put them into a file structure that I'm slowly learning to build using FCE. I don't mind the FCE option and it seems logical. I still run into the problem of how to share web based content of the videos. Using iDVD is rather straightforward, but I'm wanting to use some kind of web centric approach to sharing my videos on the output and have one big file structure for organizing my files/videos on the input.
I notice that iMovie has many exporting/sharing options in its menu. Are they really any different/better/worse than what I have with quicktime Pro 7? Should I even try to utilize iMovie at all or simply go with the capture option on FCE? I at least can find the files and organize them with FCE.
I'm not sure how to further word this at the moment as I'm trying to better understand all this as I'm moving forward.
Any suggestions you might have at this point would be most beneficial. I'm sure as I get further into this, I'll start clarifying my own questions and thoughts.
Any resources you can point me to for newer (but not totally new) to video structure input/exporting on the mac?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
A lot of questions, perhaps to much to go into detail but,
I can second the views of AppleMan
Since iMovie 08 I finally am able to organize and categorize my clips in an easy way. Just recently I made a DvD for one of my grandchildren containing a selection of events from over the last to years. Really a joy (not only the kid ). This would have been a much larger job without that.
When I like to do real "sophisticated" movie editing I use FCE and pick up the clips from the eventsfolder from iMovie.
Of course if you are happy with FCE for organizing (I found that a bit hard), you always can use the File->export-> quicktime movie feature and use Quicktime for uploading to mobileme or use the File->export->Quicktime conversion function.
Also within iMovie you can use the: share ->export with Quicktime, and use that to export your movie in the format you prefer.

Where are videos and movies stored?

Hi -
In preferences, I see where it says the music is stored and I relocated it to another drive. I cannot find my movies and videos. Where do they get stored?
Thanks

If you have iTunes set to keep your library organized, videos and movies are store the same place as music. Television shows are in a folder called TV Shows and movies in a folder called Movies. However, you can check this by clicking on a movie, video or television show in iTunes, Get Info and the look at the bottom of the Summary Tab. It will tell you exactly where it's stored. And, though I'm only guessing as I don't have a Windows box to test it on, that if you select something and right click on it, you'll see and option called something like "Show in Explorer" which will take you right to where the file is stored.
Best of luck.

You would need to have home sharing enabled on Apple TV and iTunes.

They would be accessed by going to the Computers icon on Apple TV. . Your computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

How to install videos and movies on to i touch

i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
Thanks

First thing to check would be system requirements,
Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
Remove Quicktime
Open My Computer
Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
Download and install, After install, restart and test.
Hope that works.

Videos and movies to touch

could someone tell me how to add videos and movies from my hard drive to itunes for synching. I did the add file to library thing and they just dont synch. Please help

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you wish to auto sync you video content:
Select the iPod you are syncing to on the left hand pane under Devices. Choose the Movies tab, check Sync Movies and then check the content you want.
If you wish to manually manage content:
Select the iPod you are syncing to on the left hand pane under Devices. Choose the Summary tab and check "Manually manage music and videos". Then drag and drop content to the iPod's icon on the left hand side.

Videora-Music Video and Movies

I'm frustrated!!!
I downloaded and converted several music videos and movies on Videora Converter and now I don't know how to transfer them to my Ipod... I've tried to upload them from Ipod and that didn't work either. Please help...

Just use iTunes to import them. Load up iTunes and click on "File", then scroll down to "Import". Browse to where your movie file is and click on it to import it. After this, you will need to resync your iPod in order to get the movie onto it.
