Private movie library to slowly
The new Apple TV works fine except with my personal movie library. It contains more than 2000 movies. iTunes don't struggle with that. But the new Apple TV has some problems with this. In the menu "Movies" it takes 20 seconds to switch from one genre to the next one. The ">"-symbol in the menu keeps grey during that time. When I select one genre the mediathek starts loading for round about tree minutes. Every second time apple TV crashes while loading the movie information. I hope, that apple read this posting and changes the algorithm to retrieve the movie information. I think, that apple TV scans all the movies of the selected genre for picture and other tags before rendering the movie list. It would be much better to do that while moving with the cursor over a particular movie. I hope, that apple changes this behavior. One way to overcome the problem is to use small playlists. Does anybody have another clue?
I'm seeing the same thing. It's awful. The 1st-gen device was MUCH quicker than the new device.

I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe! -
Need to convert music videos that are tagged as "Movies" and re-rag them as "Music Videos" to get them out of my movies library and into the Music Video folder. Likewise, I have some educational videos that belong in "Podcasts." Help?
Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV. Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library. When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again. No, I just want to watch it.
Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer. I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room. Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

I purchased moves from my ipad through itunes. They downloaded and I synched them to my computer. I cannot find them on my ipad. I open itunes click on Movies and it takes me to the movie library to purchase more movies. Where did my purchased movies go on my ipad?
They should have downloaded into the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ? -
How to share the movie library
My mac is networked with another mac in the house. I want to share my movie library with that mac. So I went to the iTunes Preferences and checked Look for shared libraries and Share my library on my local network. I did the same on the other mac, but I can't see my movies on that mac. Is there something else I need to do, maybe having to do with a firewall? I'm stumped. We each have our own iTunes installed, so it isn't one that is on a shared drive specifically.
Thanks -Click on the name of the shared library in the itunes source pane on the left hand side. Wait for the library to load. click on the black triangle next to the name of the shared library. There should be a movies playlist listing all of the movies that are referenced through itunes on the other computer. Also from the look for shared libraries preferences, check that share entire library is checked.

How can I add my own files to the TV Shows Library instead of the Movie Library?
I have my own TV Shows in m4v format. I can drag and drop the TV Shows into the iTunes Movie Library. How can I add my files to the TV Shows Library? Can I group them by show in the TV Shows Library?
Select the files in iTunes.
Right click - get info.
Select the Options tab and set Media kind to TV Show.
Better yet, use something like MetaZ to tag the files before adding them to iTunes.

I have moved my itunes files numerous times to new computers as I get one. This last time I had everything running off an external drive, to conserve hard drive space on computer and hopefully from computer failure. I need to move library over to new computer and get away from old computer that has Windows XP to the computer with windows 7. After installing itunes on new computer and plugging in external to new computer, it finds all music and movies, etc., however, I can't seem to find the file that has the playlist info, play count, and to see where the backups of my iphone(s) are. I have been working at this for days to no avail. It may be right in front of my face but can't see where to find it. HELP!!!!

I have a Disney Mvoie Rewards account that is connected to my iTunes account. I have downloaded digital copies of movies I have purchased before such as Thor: The Dark World, but I recently purchased Saving Mr. Banks and it is not loading in my iTunes movie Library. How do I get it to load there once I have redeemed the digital copy code and have confirmed the two accounts are connected?
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time and make sure it is correct, including time zone.

Video in Movies Library doesn't sync to Apple TV
I have a reference file (.mov) in my iTunes movies library that plays in iTunes. I want to watch this on my Apple TV, but it does not show in the movies section of Apple TV when synched. Says I have not rented movies in my library. Any idea on how synch this? Thanks.
Not knowing which compression type is used inside your AVI files, you may need to also purchase the QT mpeg2 playback component (you could check your compression type/See This). The WMV files will need the flip4mac plugin which you can obtain HERE.
Once you have your movies in QT Pro, choose file/export and from the resulting save options for 'export' choose 'Movie to Apple TV' -
The movie I purchased from my Apple TV is not on my acct when I signed on my mac book pro. Is there something else I have to do to have my movie library updated on my macs?
Welcome to the Apple Community..
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer. -
Imovie 10: how to move the (movie) library to an external drive
Hi all,
using imovie '11 it wasn't any problem to move the (movie) library to an external drive following these instrcutions: <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2289?viewlocale=en_US>. After updating to mavericks and imovie 10 I can't find the hard drive icon to pull down the drive list any more.
Maybe I missed something very obvious but would be very happy for any suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
StephanYour events and projects now reside in an file or files with extension .imovielibrary. You can create a new library wherever you want from within iMovie and drag and drop events into it from an exisitng library. If you want to move the complete library, select the library then go File - Consolidate Project Media. This ensures the library is self-contained and doesn't have any links to external media which could break when it is moved. You can then move the library to the external HD using the Finder. When you restart iMovie you will have to select File - Open Library - Other and navigate to its new location.
There are a lot of changes in imovie 10 and its really necessary to study the help file (http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7)

Load DVD Movie Library to Apple TV?
Am I able to load or store selected DVD movies from my movie library onto Apple TV assuming I have to software to record the movie on to a hard drive?
in theory you need to convert them.. however legally you are probably not allowed to (by-passing dvd encryption).
besides... discussing it on here will most likely end up with the thread being removed. -
i put in the code to get the digital copy for star trek into darkness, and i clicked download later, but it didn't show up in my movie library like the other movies i did the same thing to, where is my digital copy of star trek?
Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.
