Purchased movies not shown in itunes (but on Apple TV and iPhone 6)

Hello,
I bought some movies on apple tv and they are shown correctly on iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) and Apple TV 3.
But I can't see them (the movies library is shown empty) in iTunes 12 on my MacBook Air (mid 2012, Yosemite 10.10.1).
My music is shown correctly with iTunes match so i don't think it's a problem with iCloud.
Any ideas what i can do to see my purchased movies in iTunes?
Thank you a lot and happy new year!!
Peter

I've had this issue a couple of times on my Apple TV (3rd gen). I managed to get the newly matched content to show up a couple of times by editing the metadata for the album and then changing it back to the original (i.e. I changed the album title to add an 'X' to the end of it, then changed it back to the original) and it somehow triggered the iTunes Match on the Apple TV to update itself. I haven't really found a way to force Match on the Apple TV to update itself if it's being stubborn. Best of luck getting this sorted.

  • Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

    I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
    If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
    http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
    What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
    Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

    I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
    So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
    I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
    Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

  • Why are my movies not shown in iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini and have updated all the software etc to the latest versions.
    The problem I am having is that in the Leopard Movie folder I have all of my TV Shows and Films but the do not show up in the movie tab in iTunes, if i want it to be displayed there I have to copy the file to my iTunes folder, copying the film and making the Movie folder in finder pointless.
    I also have a PC with iTunes and it allows me to point to any folder that i have movie content in, even on different drives and it is all shown in iTunes, surely there is a way to do this on a Mac?
    Otherwise what's the point of having separate media folders in Leopard if itunes does not scan them for content?
    All help greatly appreciated.

    What do you mean? Please be more specific.

  • Rentals (How come some movies are not available on itunes but on apple tv?

    Was going to rent a movie on itunes however it said it was only available on apple tv? Does that mean I can only watch it on apple tv and not on my mac? What is the purpose?

    It's just the way it is - previously HD rentals were only available via AppleTv though this seems to be changing and there may even be some HD films to purchase now. There may also be a difference with SD content.
    How Apple can sell/rent movies/TV Shows will be strictly governed by the movie companies/studios who own the rights, and they or Apple for one reason or another may have limited what can be rented where either for commercial or logistical reasons.
    I suspect there was partly a case of Apple assuming no point allowing HD rentals from iTunes because they assumed there's be no benefit for iPod/iphone users whose devices would not be HD capable - of course they may have discounted people who want to watch a movie on their laptop or computer.
    It could also be a case of limiting demand while server backbone architecture is improved - AppleTV users will be a minority compared to other iTunes users so treading the water with say HD rentals on this device will have less of an overnight impact on demand/capacity of servers to deliver the goods.
    Truth is, it's just the way it is, but is likely to change to a more logical model over time, but there'll stil be widespread differences in content availability/pricing from country to country.

  • Purchased movies not showing in iTunes for Mac

    I'm using the same apple ID on several devices, and am able to access all purchased movies on my Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. When using iTunes on my Mac, only 25 of the 50 purchased movies viewable elsewhere are accessible. I've tried accessing the missing items through the iTunes store, hoping that they'd be available for download, but am only given the option to purchase them again. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to remedy it? I've already tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing, and logging in and out. It has been happening for a while, so I don't think that it is something that was caused by a recent software update.
    Thank you for any help that you can provide.

    I feel dumb. Solved it for myself. In case anyone else has this issue, instead of looking at purchased items from within your library, go to the iTunes store home page, and select purchased from the menu on the right. Then there will be a tab for "not in my library." This is where your purchased items that haven't been downloaded to your computer reside.

  • MP3 file comments not shown in iTunes, but are in Windows programs

    Ok, am orgaising my music collection. I use iTunes on Mac v7.6, Leopard
    There is no comment shown in the itunes for the MP3 files, but if I goto Win XP (boot camp) and either do a list in explorer, or use a program like tag & rename or MonkeyMedia then I can see comments there.
    1) why is this
    2)how can I get iTunes to show them properly
    3) how can I list them in Mac, so I can delete them
    please help
    thanks

    Ok so without the file you say you cant tell - how will I be able to check? ie if you had the file(s) how would you check and I will use your procedure.
    But if they are windows comments how come Media rage and Musorg see them and not iTunes? In fact if they are "windows" comments how do they how in Media rage and Musorg and not iTunes - i just been thing about that. Surely if they were it wouldnt show up in these.
    Also in Media Rage and Musorg, there is only 1 comment field as in iTues but Rage and Musorg show the comment whereas iTunes does not.
    Is there an app that can show whats actually embedded into the MP3 file? ie the tag details or something? Windows or Mac to see what is going on?
    I will send you a file, but would like to know how I check myself, its bugging me!!!
    cheers

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • Albums not showing on iTunes but are on fully synced iPhone

    Something I've noticed as I've been putting together a playlist, I have some albums which aren't showing in my iTunes. The albums were transferred from a hard drive not purchased from the iTunes Store. They are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music so the location I believe is correct but when you go into the the album title the folder there are no song files.
    At first I thought perhaps they had been deleted so went to re-burn the discs but noticed something strange..the albums are on my iPhone which has only ever been synced to my Macbook and is set to sync All Music.
    I'm a bit lost as to how this may have happened, if they weren't on my phone I'd assume it was a conflict of file types, perhaps the culprit albums are in .wma format but they play and show with artwork on the iPhone.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    (Macbook Pro Yosemite running iTunes 12 with iPhone 6 - all updated to current versions.)

    If not the U2 album then
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect to Netflix . I have restarted it and check wifi

    I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect and play Netflix. I have restarted Apple TV and checked wifi connection.

        1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
        2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
        3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.
