Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

  • My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • Why are some albums not showing up when I download them into ITunes?

    I download from a CD into my ITunes, but when I sync, the album doesn't show up to transfer to my phone.

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • New movies do not show up in appletv

    Hi all,
    I have an appletv1, always worked great. Buts ince today new movies I add to my itunes will not show up on appletv. It does show the movies that were already there, but not new ones I add - even though they are the right format and I can see and play them in itunes on my imac no problem.
    The only change I had to make was to the network connection; we bought a new wireless router as the old one broke down. That's the only change that could cause it but as said movies that were already in itunes still show up, it's just new ones I add that the apple tv doesn't see, even after resetting and so on. Anyone got a solution? thanks!

    Aghh, the reason for suggesting the sync as a diagnostic step was to try to establish what else if anything wasn't working.
    I'm thinking that either you paired your library incorrectly when you set up your new iMac or an error has occured that has turned off syncing for you. To revert to a syncing library, disconnect from the Apple TV (Settings/Computers/Your_Library) and reconnect again (Settings/Computers/Connect_to_iTunes) - You will need to re-sync previously synced content.
    Not sure if this will resolve all your problems, but it's a start, I'd see how things go when (if) you are able to do this.

  • HT1351 My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud.

    My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud. I have "show music" enabled.

    Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

  • Import iPhoto Flip video - not showing.

    Running iMovie 09. iPhoto '11 (9.1.5). Imported video from Flip into iPhoto. Video not showing in iMovie. Is this a format issue? Is there a workaround?
    Thanks

    Make sure that if the Flip came with a disk or software to be installed, that you run the installer. I've got a first gen. Flip mino that requires something called a 'codec' to be installed before the video clips can playback. In my case it's a piece of software from a company called 3ivx.

    Hi ..
    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
    Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
    Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • How many apple tv devices can stream personal videos from a single iTunes library

    I'm doing some initial investigation on the matter and I've not been able to get a definitive answer to this question...
    Is there a limit to the number of Apple TVs that can stream videos from the same iTunes library, and if so, what is the limit?
    I'm not talking about content purchased over iTunes, I'm thinking exclusively homemade video content encoded in the appropriate video format for use with iTunes.

    disregarding the bandwidth limitations, is there a limit to the number of devices one could use for this? If I understand this correctly, the device limit only applies to iTunes content, and not so much a personal (non-iTunes store purchased content) library.

  • Apple TV not listing rented movies purchased from iMac - Temp solution !

    Fastest and easiest solution that has been working for me.
    Simply restart your iMac while your Apple TV is is powered OFF. Once iMac is restarted and powered on , power on Apple TV. Your rentals should then show up in the computers section.

    I don't recall rentals made on an iPad ever also being available on AppleTV direct - they're not supposed to be:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    It's a long time since I rented on an iPad so that's not to say it never happened I just don't recall that you werer supposed to be able do to this.
    Airplay however should work.
    Funnily enough I tried Airplaying a movie my kids had started to watch on teh AppleTV2 yesterday and got audio only.  This was from a local iTunes library so easy to do direct on the unit - I'd only tried Airplay as it should have continued from where they were watching rather than ahving to manually naviagte to there.

  • Purchased film on iPad but its not showing on Home sharing after downloading to iTunes?

    Hi all, I have recently purchasd Men In Black from itunes using my iPad 2 and downloaded it to my Mac. However when i went to watch it on Apple TV 2 its no where to be seen. I've checked the movie folder and its there above Men In Black 2, its still on my iPad and plays ok and it also plays ok on my Mac. What I don't understand is:
    1. Why can't I see the film on Apple TV 2 despite it being in the same folder as my other movies?
    2. Why doesn't the film show up when i plug my iPhone 4 in to put it on there?
    3. The film doesn't show up on my iPad 2 when plugged into iTunes either even though its already on the device?
    The only difference I can see is that the file is .ite and not .m4v , but then wheres the file i downloaded to my ipad or have I just wasted my money on a film with limtied sharing on my own account?
    Cheers

    Hi OP

  • One of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv.

    I own about 30 movies on my apple tv and one of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv. How do I fix this issue and get it to show up on my apple tv?

    Two things to check

    AccountsHow many accounts are there?
    2nd
    From Home screen press Mail app
    Press the top left button (next to Inbox)
    You'll see all the Inboxes for the accounts present
    You'll know either way whether one or more accounts has been setup.
