Putting movies and tv shows onto my iphone in Canada

I live in Canada.
I am having trouble putting videos onto my iphone. The computer will allow me to select the tv shows that i want to transfer to my iphone, but will not move them over when i sync them.
Using the advanced menu, the "create iphone version" is greyed out and not available. There is a "create aac version" available. When selected, itunes informs me that it cannot convert protected videos into other formats.
Is there any way that i can watch videos i bought on itunes on my iphone? I have only had one computer and one iphone. They have up to date software. This glitch does not occur with all videos, only certain ones. For example, "Air farce" will sync, but "CSI miami" will not.
I can still sync movies to "sparky", my 5 year old video ipod with a 1/2 hr battery life.
The movies and tv shows were formerly able to sync to my iphone and i last did so in August.

Yes.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

Hey RR6705,
If you would like to delete previously purchased content off of your iPhone, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "My iPhone" will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. HELP!

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone “My iPhone” will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. I really don't want to loose my music. HELP!!!

From the message you are receiving, it sounds like you either, 1) haven't synced your iPhone with that computer before, 2) are using two different iTunes accounts, or 3) both. If you have purchased music or movies through your iPhone with a certain iTunes account and purchased books through iBooks on your MacBook through a different iTunes account then there is no having both on the phone.
Apple doesn't allow content from two different accounts on a device at the same time. Also if two "libraries" have been created, one on the iPhone and one on the Macbook then syncing will erase data that is not associated with that particular library.
If you are using the same iTunes account for both, then you should be able to redownload any purchased items (music, books, etc.) from iCloud, assuming you have set that up.
I hope this helps!

How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them. I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
a) Impossible
b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
f) [your answer here]
Thank you,
Chris

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)

Can "New" Corner Banner Be Removed From Movies and TV Shows?

After loading 7 seasons of The Big Bang Theory on iTunes 11, I see that iTunes has now slapped a Blue "New" banner on the upper right corner of all my new season titles of The Big Bang Theory (see attached photo) …. and I also see that after loading the TV Shows to my iPhone, that now the iPhone TVShow listing has a little blur indicator, showing the number of "New" episodes in each season.
The question is …. is there any way to eliminate the iTunes Blue "New" banner, thus also eliminating the blue oval notices on my iPhone as well?

I am not sure how to do that. I have it only in itunes at present. Can I access it other ways?
You burn them as you would any other data file on your computer. I'm using a different OS version than you so specifics probably won't help. Therei's probably a way in finder to create a burn folder, add items to it, then burn them to disc.
Also - how do I burn movies and tv shows onto disc to watch on a dvd player in our lounge room? help please
Niel answered this one already. You can't. They are protected against being played any other way than Apple approves.

I'm missing movies and TV shows on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV

I've purchased a significant number of movies and TV shows over the last few years. When available in HD, I always purchase titles in HD, whether they're TV shows or movies. I have iCloud enabled on all of my devices, and am also an iTunes Match subscriber. I very much enjoy having all of my content available, whether I'm at home or on the road. As long as I have an internet connection, my content is available.
Unfortunately, it would seem I'm missing random items from iCloud -- movies and TV shows. For example, I purchased both Cars and Cars 2 (Disney/Pixar) in HD, but only Cars shows up on our iPads, my iPhone and our Apple TV. Cars 2 is missing. Likewise with several episodes of the Big Bang Theory--none of my Season 1 episodes show up on the iPads, iPhone or Apple TV, but purchases from Seasons 4, 5 and 6 do.
The items are all downloaded on my MacBook, so they all appear there. If I go to the iMac, Cars 2 and the Season 1 Big Bang Theory episodes don't show up as available iCloud downloads. However, if I go into the iTunes Store and select these items to purchase again, iTunes tells me I already purchased the item and downloads it to me for free. So if iTunes knows I purchased it, why doesn't it show up in iCloud?
If this were an issue of studio rules/copyright, I would expect this problem to be specific to movies/shows from certain studios. In the case of Cars and Cars 2, these are both Disney/Pixar films, so why would Cars be in iCloud but not Cars 2?
Another movie that DOES show up in my iCloud is Gran Torino, one that I redeemed as a Digital Copy.
There are other TV shows and movies that have this same problem--they don't appear in iCloud but if I search for them in the iTunes Store, I can re-download them at no charge if I already purchased them.
Does anyone know how I can get the "missing" items to appear in iCloud if I legitimately purchased them or redeemed them via a promo code?

I did a little bit more research, and if I go into iTunes and choose to display TV Shows and Movies as a List, I get a nice, sortable list of movies and shows to which I can add columns. A column that you can add is called "iCloud Status."
This column shows either Purchased or Ineligible for all of the titles. And this is where things get really confusing.
Sure enough, the items that are "missing" from the iPads, iPhone, Apple TV, etc. are the Ineligible items, but that's not the confusing part. What IS confusing is which items are Ineligible.
A good example is my Deadliest Catch collection -- I own the entire season 3 and 4 of DC; season 3 is Purchased and Season 4 is Ineligible. Back to the Big Bang Theory, I have five episodes from Season 4 -- 3 are Ineligible and 2 are Purchased.
It makes absolutely no sense that episodes from the same season of the same show would be a mix of Purchased and Ineligible!

How do you move just your movies and tv shows to an external hard drive and have iTunes recognize that that is where that media is (keeping music on the internal hard drive itself and putting only movies and tv shows on an external hard drive)?

I'm not sure about how to get iTunes to recognize that my music is in one location (on my MacBook's internal hard drive) and my movies and tv shows are in another (on an external hard drive I purchased). I know how to make iTunes recognize that all of my iTunes files are on an external hard drive, but not only some of them. Please help me out. Thanks.

While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes. Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located. There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky. If it's just one or two try: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Backing up movie and tv shows I purchased

I know that I can burn songs that I download from Itunes to cd, but what about movies and tv shows that I buy? Can those be burned to dvd for back up, in case of computer crashing and such?

When backing up videos from itunes, it has to be burned as a data file.
You cannot put the tv shows or movies onto a dvd so they can be played in a dvd player.
Also, burning as a data file takes less space so you can put more files on a disk.
The best way to do this is to create a playlist to add your movies or tv shows to.
Then you can burn the playlist to a cd or dvd.
Hope this helps.

Purchased movies and tv shows won't show up in iTunes on my Macbook Air

So, I have recently begun purchasing movies and TV shows through iTunes in an attempt to further enrich my Apple ecosystem (and to have awesome movies to watch on a 5.5" screen ). I have had mixed experiences with this transition and am still having issues. For example, my Apple TV worked fine with all my purchases instantly -- no problem there. My Mac Mini takes a bit but it sorts itself out in no time. My iPhone 6 Plus, however, has failed at showing new purchases in the cloud in the videos app (for example, I purchased Doctor Who Series 8 and wanted to watch an episode the other day but was disappointed to find out that it wasn't available in the cloud). My Macbook Air though.. absolutely no movies or tv shows show up in iTunes. I can download them from the purchased section of the iTunes store, but at 2-3 GBs an episode, and the limited memory of a Macbook, I have only condoned a desire to stream them through iCloud.
Yet I can't figure it out. Why aren't my shows and movies showing up at all in iTunes? All of my iTunes match songs show up just fine. I have checked and nothing is hidden, so I am literally stumped.
If anyone could help me understand why, that would be great. And if anybody knows what is going on with my iPhone's video app, that would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

ITunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.

iTunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.
These videos were taken from my hard drive, converted with Format Factory, then placed in itunes.
ON ipad the videos playback perfectly, but in itunes itself it fails drastically.
Same problem happens with quicktime. If i open these videos up with quicktime, it studders and skips, while if i open it with VLC, it works fine.
I have already disabled 3d acceleration, which helped a very small bit.
The Rest of itunes runs smoothly, just video playback is screwed
Specs:
HP Envy 14
Intel i5 quad core processor 2.53 ghz
6 gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Itunes 10.5.1
Quicktime 7.7.1

Update
It turns out that the reason for not playing TV shows and movies is not the network.
Something happened with the files while copying them from the Macbook to the NAS station.
I noticed that after copying a TV show from the NAS Station back onto the Macbook Air drive; it was not possible to import that file into iTunes. iTunes ignored importing that file.
On the other side the TV shows will be played by Quicktime, either from the NAS station or from the Macbook.
It might be important to mention that the NAS station is not OSX formatted.
Does someone know what happened ?
Regards

ITunes can't distinguish between movies and TV shows

Hi,
How old is iTunes now? How many updates have we been fed with all kinds of new 'features' that are either not that useful or already duplicate functions? Why can iTunes STILL not catalog files correctly?
I have movies and TV shows all mixed together, some are duplicated and some are just named 'comedy' or some other useless title. I got so fed up with it I spent a rainy day painstakingly renaming and sorting all these files. This was followed by the inevitable long drawn out and slow process of resynching Apple TV, resynching iPhones and basically playing every file labelled 'untitled' or 'unknown' and then identifying and renaming it.
So I was well-pleased when the latest version of iTunes decided it didn't like my new filing system and has messed it all up again. I now have duplicate files, files incorrectly filed, broken links and right now over 400 'missing' files according to iTunes.
They're not 'missing'. They're on the same hard drive in the same folders and in the same place they've always been. They've not been renamed, reordered or in anyway changed, yet the wonderful iTunes has decreed things ain't what they should be and changed it all for me.
I'm not happy. By all means change my files, but not to create the mess you've now left me to sort out.
What is it with Apple these days? why can't they just leave something that works to function properly. I can find my own 'album cover art', I don't need iTunes to paste the wrong art on the wrong album and mix up all my genres, shows and movies.
If you want to help, fix that mother of a problem before making it look pretty.
Thanks,
Rich

It is possible to have mistakenly authorized a computer more than once. To fix that:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
Enter your account name and password.
Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
Click OK.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."
If that does not fix it for you, you can "deauthorize all" your computers. This will solve your problem, but you may only do this once per year.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

Audio and video tracks in movies and tv shows purchased at the itunes store do not play in sync on my desktop PC - can anybody help?

Any thoughts?

Purchased movies from iTunes are automatically available on Apple's cloud, but not as part of your purchased storage; purchased movies are stored free, since you can redownload them any time (unless the movies are no longer available).
From Apple:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
