Some TV shows in iTunes but not Apple TV menu

I noticed that some shows (in this case, 30 Rock) do not show up in any of the Apple TV menus - even with a straight search. The shows are, however, available in iTunes on my Mac. Is there any way to purchase and manage these shows from the TV, or do I need to download them to my laptop and stream them to the Apple TV?

I've had my apple tv for over a year now, so I'm assuming it's first generation. I've not had problems with it until recently. There are some shows that show up in itunes on my mac, but are not showing up on my apple tv. I've tried resetting my apple tv to factory settings and starting all over, downloading a newer version of itunes...and nothing seems to help.
What am I doing wrong?

Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/GPKwx
The latest episode in it is 23 July: the later episodes haven't made it into the feed so either the connection to Feedburner has failed or there is something about the recent episodes which is causing them not to make it into the feed. It's not obvious from looking at the web page what this might be.

Album art is showing in itunes but not on my ipod

I have a new 60GB ipod video and am having a problem with album artwork. It shows in all the right windows in itunes but not on the ipod itself.
The problem is affecting random songs (singles and odd album tracks) and is not as a result of any software updates.
I have tried unchecking and rechecking the 'display album art' option in preferences, deleting and reinserting the covers and even deleting and reimporting the affected songs from scratch. So far nothing has worked and I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?
Apple iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) ipod 60GB with video

Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

Airplay works fine in iTunes but not from the menu why?

Hi Guys,
I have read so many answers to the question about Airplay not working both here and the internet.
Can someone give me the definative answer why I can Airplay from iTunes but not from the Macbook Pro itself i.e. no menu icon or setting to mirror.
Everyone seems to say its the age of the computer or its the firewall or the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
Why if I can do it oneway (iTunes), I can not do it directly?
I am using a 2011 macbook pro 10.9.3 and a apple tv 3.
Is there a hack or work around with out purchasing more software.
Thanks

Hey Beauvoir17,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, I can conclude that your MacBook is indeed compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, as outlined in the following resource:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
- iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
If you are experiencing issues with AirPlay mirroring, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps outlines at the bottom of the article.
Thanks,
Matt M.

When you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
"display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format. Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it. Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

Movie Showing in iTunes but not DMA App

In the past, when a Disney movie downloads from iTunes, it automatically shows up in my DisneyAnywhere app as well as adds the points to my DMR (Disney Movie Rewards) immediately without me having to do anything.
Yesterday, I downloaded the new Big Hero 6 movie from iTunes and can view it on my computer within iTunes along with the other movies I've purchased. However, it did not show up in my DisneyAnywhere app (and still isn't). Today, I looked again to see if it had corrected itself overnight and its still the same, however, when I click on Purchased in my iTunes account Big Hero 6 is nowhere to be found. But it's in my Movies and I can watch it. I also have noticed that when I go to BH6 in the iTunes Store that it tells me I still have to buy it but when I do that, it tells me that I've already bought it.
Can someone please tell me what in the world is going on? Or maybe make some suggestions (that aren't the basics like powering down, signing in and out, etc) that I can try?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hello megoettee,
With what you are describing, you best bet is to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below to walk you through with doing that. If you cannot report it then let me know and I can give another suggestion.
Report a problem with an item purchased from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

Why does the album artwork show in itunes but not on my iphone?

When im in itunes all the artwork shows but when i sync it not all of the artwork comes up on my iphone.

I guess I have successfully solved that. Somehow  predicted this problem's appearance and added a function of ID3 tags version conversion. Just convert all of your mp3 files' tags to version 2.4. worked for me, now bitrate gets downgraded and artwork is safe.
p.s.: some of the artwork (especially files that originally were higher bitrate AAC converted to 128 kbit/s) won't show the artwork in the artist or album list at first. just play any of such songs and artwork will show up.

My ipad shows in itunes but not at all in my computer or device mgr

no sign of it on the pc (xp home) but recognized in itunes not charging message as well from usb2

It does not have disk mode so that is why it is not showing up in your computer.
Unless you have a very recent computer you do not have high power USB ports. If you connect it to your computer it will charge, albeit very slowly, if you turn the iPad off or put it to sleep and don't wake it.
Far better idea to use the iPad charger.

Purchased music plays in iTunes but not Apple applications

My issue is not as dire as most here but still....
Recently, my purchased music became unavailable to
all Apple applications (iPhoto, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Quicktime, etc) except
iTunes. If I try to play one, "This computer is not authorized to play this
song" message appears. Never did before. After following the
"open iTunes to reauthorize this computer" instruction it reports
authorization was successful. However, the songs are still unavailable
to Apple apps. and the "not authorized" message keeps popping up.
And they all play fine in iTunes. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Usually unchecking the song(s) in iTUnes, updating the ipod, then checking the songs and updating the ipod again will fix the problem.
If not restoring it with the latest ipod updater (06-28-2006) should fix it. Restoring wipes the ipod clean and then you use iTUnes to load it back up with your music

Album and artist showing in itunes, but not in manual sync

I have a 8 gig ipod touch and my library is larger so I have to select to manually add artists on my ipod. The problem is the artist I want isn't appearing in the artist section in sync. the artist is in itunes library but will not appear and doesn't come up in the search bar.
Can anybody please help me fix this issue, I need to listen to some Sublime.

perhaps what turingtest2 suggested in another thread helps:
To display all artists in the Artists menu on your iPod, even those who only appear on compilations, remove the ticks against both of the iPod Compilation menu items, i.e.
Settings > Main Menu > Music > Compilations
Settings > Music Menu > Compilations
Cover flow should remain the same, with all compilations albums listed at the right-hand end.
To display all artists in the Artists browser column in iTunes turn off the preference to Group compilations when browsing. Provided you have set the Album Artist field the albums should remain grouped together.

IPod shows in iTunes, but not in Finder

I have a click-wheel iPod, and when I connect it to my computer, it opens iTunes and updates properly. It shows up in Finder too, but only until the iPod is finished updating. As soon as iTunes says the update is complete, the iPod icon disappears from the Finder. It is still in iTunes, however, and I can re-update it if i want to. The screen on the iPod changes from "Do not disconnect" to the regular charging screen, but it is still shown in iTunes, not the Finder, leaving me able to update the music, but unable to put any additional data on it. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Also, I have tried putting it in disk mode with the same results. It shows up for an instant, but then disappears.

One possible cause is so simple that people miss it without realizing. Has the iPod been enabled for disk use in iTunes? Please note that this is not the same as putting your iPod into 'disk mode'. Your description makes it sound like it isn't, and I believe it is off by default, so I'll tell you how to enable it.
With iTunes open, and your iPod connected, go to Preferences in the iTunes menu, click the iPod tab, and (if it't not already selected) mark the box labeled 'enable disk use' (or something to that effect). Then, the iPod should mount on the desktop like a standard hard drive, and you can open it just like a normal drive. The iPod's needed files and your songs are all hidden from view so you don't accidentally move anything you shouldn't.

IPad 2 Podcasts show in iTunes, but not playable in iPad

Podcasts update regularly in iTunes, like they should. I plug in the iPad to the computer, it syncs, like it should. In iTunes I can see the podcasts on my iPad. Go to the iPad (music->podcasts) and there are icons for each podcast, but they won't play. One icon doesn't even have a title. I've considered hitting the screen harder, but figured that was just the rage talking and not a good idea.
I've tried deleting them from the iPad so I could resync, which presented a new set of problems. When deleting them from the iPad from the iPad (push on the icone till the black X appears, then delete it), the podcast persists on iTunes. When deleting the podcast from the iPad from iTunes, they persist on the iPad. I have tried resyncing multiple times.
This has worked in the past. Just recently have the podcasts become unuseable.

No, I have not downloaded the podcast app. Till this point I didn't see any reason to get another special purpose app when the iPad, supposedly, comes prepared to do what I want it to do. At the bottom of the iPad screen are 4 icons, Safari, Mail, Photos, and Music. In music at the bottom is the More tab where podcasts are found.
Are podcasts no longer compatible with iPads? Do I need a special app to play them?

IPod shows in iTunes, but not Devices

Hi, I just recently purchased a 13' Macbook Pro w/ Retina. I also had a 64gb iPod Touch (5th Gen) for over a year now. When I connect my iPod to my Macbook, it opens in iTunes and even iPhoto, but it won't show in Devices.

If you're referring to the Finder sidebar, that's normal.

Apps show in itunes, but not on iPad (iOS5 Update)

I updated to io5 last night on my iPad 1. I have iTunes installed on a Win7 laptop. I ran backup from iTunes which is good, because the update did not include my apps. I ran "Restore from backup" from iTunes and it ran for a long time, and resulted in the last setup screens (location, iCloud, daily diagnostics), but still no apps on the iPad. I can see them in the iTunes, though. How do I get the apps from iTunes into the iPad?
Thanks,
Scott

Forgot to mention - when looking at the "get info" section, none of the video codec information seems to be ported over. It appears as though the iPad cannot read the codec information.
I have validated all codecs are fine - even iTunes has told me that the videos are already in the proper format. It's just the iPad which seems that it cannot read the codec/info.
