Playing Movies/TV Shows in iTunes

Just recently I have been able to play my iTunes movies in a window that took advantage of the all the video space and with no black spots on the right or left (the video is full screen). But to full around I went to the view option --> Video Size -->Fit to screen and that cause issues so know the video does not play in the entire space in the window and there are black spots on the right and left. So in other words the double size and fit to window options are the same.

The movies and tv shows in your iTunes library on your computer can be transferred to your iPad via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Movies and TV Shows tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes. After the movies and tv shows are transferred, they will be available in the Videos app under iOS 5.

  • TS1718 Post update, when I try to play movies/tv shows through iTunes only audio comes through. How do I fix this?

    Just rented a movie from the iTunes store, which I have never had a problem with prior to this, and played it but the screen was black. Audio was coming through the whole time. I tried skipping around to see if maybe some parts of the movie didn't get downloaded correctly but that wasn't case. I tried playing other tv shows I have on my computer that I bought from iTunes and those won't play correctly either. I can only assume it was something involving this previous update. Any guidance on the matter would be appreciated.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • Can't play purchased TV Shows on ITUNES

    I recently purchased some episodes of TV Shows on ITUNES. However, I cannot play them on ITUNES. They start to play for about 5 seconds then ITUNES crashes.
    I receive the message "ITUNES has encountered a problem and needs to close..." So far no problem playing them on my IPOD, just can't watch them on ITUNES. Also discovered that I can't watch a preview of a TV show or movie either on ITUNES. It results in the same problem described above, (i.e.ITUNES crashes). Anyone know why this is happening and how to correct?

    I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

  • When I try to move Movies/TV shows to iTunes, it won't do it. It says "LINK' when I try and move the movies.

    I am trying to move TV shows from my computer in to my iTunes. It now says "link" when I try, and I used to be able to move them over with no problem! What do I do?

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Randomly Apple TV can't play Movies/Tv shows and music.

    I've seen other people having problems with this issue but with all my searching, have not found an answer and thought I'd share my experience in case someone has a solution or suggestion.
    Our cable modem service comes into an access pannel in the bedroom closet. It goes to the Linksys WRT54G router, then to a hub which sends out to all the rooms in our house. Our house is new and pre-wired for ethernet in each room. It comes in the office, goes into another hub and then to the Mac Mini I have and to a NAS Lacie storage drive where all my movies, music and photos are at. We stream everything and only synk photos on the Apple TV.
    Over the last couple of days, the Apple TV can't play movies or music for some reason. The errors I get with Movies/TV is "The selected video cannot be played." The format was not recognized. With music the message is "Apple TV cannot play the current song." I know all the movies and music work because a day before I just played I AM LEGEND and it worked perfectly.
    I've got a couple of theories and wanted to float them by everyone. I use a Harmony 880 remote and when I select Apple TV, it turns on the ATV and then sets the inputs on the other items. When I'm done and select watch TV, it turns ATV off. Should the ATV stay on all the time? Could this be causing the problem?
    I've restarted the ATV, the Mac Mini, the hubs, the cable modem, the router. Nothing brings it back. But if it sits for a while, a couple hours or so, then it's back. However, it just stops playing for no reason and the next day it might not work again.
    I'm running iTunes 7.6.2 and I checked the ATV and iTunes and both say they are up to date on their software.
    I could really use some help here. The frustrating part is the kids want to watch one of their movies for the 700th time and it won't play many time.
    Thanks everyone.
    John
    I use a Harmony 880 (I believe) remote.

    Oops----thinking of the light on the Airport!!! =-)
    The status light is gray, so it is not setting off any "alarms", everything else is working, but when I go to watch a movie, rented or owned, it times out and resets itself. I ran a diagnostic and it said everything was working properly, I reset to factory settings and still had the same problem, and even reset the Airport to make sure it was not just the connection.
    At a complete loss as to any other ideas to try to get her up and running again. No way am I going anywhere near an Apple Store with all the iPad hype that is out right now!!!!!!

  • Newly addes movies/tv shows into iTunes don't appear on Apple TV

    I don't know whether I am the only one seeing this problem...
    I have been converting my DVDs to H.264 format using Handbrake/DVDFab and then I add them to iTunes library. My iTunes is setup for Custom Sync with syncing enabled ONLY for the Music. This means my movies/TV Shows/Podcasts are all setup for "Streaming". However, when I access "My Movies" or "My TV Shows", I still see the old list (none of the newly added titles are shown).
    I have to shutdown iTunes and relaunch for the list to get refreshed in ATV.
    Do you observe this as well?
    I continue to be plagued with the disappearing ATV under iTunes.

    You appear to have two separate issues here, the first, the one with your firewall is causing most of the issues and error messages you see. Have you checked your firewall settings to see if they are as they should be.
    The other issue of new content not being updated is a minor but annoying issue compared with the first. I can't say whether or not it will eventually update content if you simply leave it alone. My wife and kids are not that patient and have me hit sync within a few minutes of new content being added.

  • Can't play purchased tv shows in iTunes because of Quicktime?

    When I try to play a purchased tv show (from a season inwhich i have already been able to play episodes) it states that it can not play because this version of iTunes does not support QuickTime.  I have 11.1.5 So frustrating!

    I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

  • What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

    I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
    What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
    I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
    Best,
    Faisal

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
    But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
    I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?

  • How to access iCloud movies/tv shows in iTunes 11.1

    The iCloud icon recently disappeared and is not showing up next to my apple ID at all so I can't access the movies/tv shows previously purchased by Apple TV or iPhone 4S to stream it to my computer. The only way is to download it and I don't want to do that. Is there any way to reestablish the connection?

    Open iTunes Prefs > Store and select the option for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."
    For some reason this option seems to get unselected.
