Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander.  I also have MovieSRTPlayer.  Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB.  The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles.  It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder.  I am also transferring a companion file to that folder.  The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder.  The Video app itself does show and play those video files. 
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app.  But they do not appear in the various filer apps.  And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video.  In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved).  That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them.  I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying.  But now I'm running into this brick wall again.  I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder.  They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app.  They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times. 
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps.  File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version). 
They all show or don't show the same thing.  So files are missing.  And SIZE is not the sole determining factor.  When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files.  So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder.  But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers.  The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up.  The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up.  A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up.  But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up.  Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago!  Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles).  Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up.  Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it.  Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB.  So, the filemanagers  are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct.  But your app does not appear to show it.

  • When i check yahoo mail on iPad i have numerous empty messages with a 12/31/69 sent date that contain nothing.  they do not show on my mac though...what is going on?  i cannot delete them either....

    When i check yahoo email on my ipad2  there are numerous messages dated incoming on 12/31/69 that are empty.  They do not show up on my mac.  Also, if i try to edit emails on my ipad2  it will not allow me to delete them.  what is going on?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0.  Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0.  They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Ok, so I'll try again.  Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
    Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update?  It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV.  These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • My wife purchased some songs from itunes for her iphone.  If I go to sync her ipphone with our itunes library will her purchases be wiped out.  They do not show up in our library on my computer.

    My wife purchased some songs for her new iphone from itunes on the phone.  They do not show up in our library on my home computer.  When I go to add new songs to her iphone from my computer are her purchases going to be wiped out.

    Is the computer authorized for her iTunes account? If not, sign her in in iTunes and then go up to: Store>Authorize this computer. You say "our library", does that mean she does not have her own computer login? Has she ever synced to this computer/iTunes before? Once she is logged in & the computer authorized for her account, you can transfer purchases on her phone without syncing. With her phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

    I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

    Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
    From: Where are my iTunes files located?

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

  • I tried to add sf2 instruments.  I put them in the audio/banks file but they do not show up in the DSL instruments on Garage Band.  Why not?

    How can I get sf2 intruments that I've downloaded to use in my GarageBand?  I have downloaded them and have put them both in the GarageBand instruments folder and the Audio/Banks folder of my Library, but they do not show up in GarageBand on the DSL instruments as they should.  I have some instruments in that category that I must have put in before, but can't find them in the audio/banks folder or the GarageBand instruments folder and cannot locate them with a my computer finder anywhere.  They are listed in the DSL instruments on GarageBand when I open the program.  Is there another library that this version of GarageBand can be using??  I have GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.4)d, which was updated a while back.  I had the previous version of GarageBand with a diffent system quite a bit earlier.  I've look in the "previous system" folder as well, and cannot find the instruments, or an audio/banks folder at all.

    Mortimer,  iTunes does not know when you restore a file.  After you restore the file, you need to re-add the file to iTunes.
    If you know exactly which files you restores, re-add them using File > Add File to LIbrary.
    Otherwise, lre-add the folders.  iTunes has certain safeguards to reduce duplicates when you do this, which are not perfect but are better than nothing.  Start with a few small folders and see if you are happy with the results.
