Sync movie in Shared Library to IPhone

I can see movies in a shared library (not the ITunes library on this laptop), but can't get those movies to sync to the IPhone. Only the movies on the local laptop are syncing. And when I try to move from the old library to the iphone to the new laptop, then back to the iphone, it doesn't work. Tips? Ideas?

Figured it out. Duh.

    I want to move a movie from Shared Library to LIbrary, how do I do this?

    this extra info helps a lot. with home sharing you should be able to just import the file from your iMac into your MBP. this is the way i've done it at home.
    -just make sure both are on with itunes open
    -select your imac's library
    - hightlight the file you want then click on import towards the bottom of the screen.

    You can import content via homesharing to a library on a computer but not to a mobile device.

  • Can't move Movies from iTunes Library to iPhone.

    I have an iPhone 3G. I have tried to move some movies from my iTunes home movie library folder to my iPhone. I am selecting them and dragging onto my iPhone icon (left pane window in iTunes). I see the little green + sign when I click and drag, but they don't go anywhere.
    So where are they?
    Any ideas? Thanks

    In iTunes, add your movie to your library by selecting File>Add to Library.  Once in iTunes click on Movies on the left under Library, highlight the movie in question and go to Advanced>Create iPod or iPhone Version.  Sync this version to your iPhone.

  • Shared library, 2 iPhones, 1 MBP... I struggle

    I have a MBP running iTunes 10. We have two iPhones (iPhone 4, 3g). To avoid sync conflicts we created two accounts on the computer (not just two iTunes accounts, but two computer accounts.... Like the screen rotates to log-in the other person.) When I sync the iPhone 4 to the main account, all is good.
    When I go to the second account, I open iTunes 10 and there's the shared music library. I try to drag music from the shared music library to the second iPhone (the 3g) but it won't go. I can select the music, but when I drag it over the iPhone 3g icon, it makes no attempt to copy the music.
    Suggestions?
    Many thanks.

    That helps, but I'm still hoping to find a solution using the setup I describe. With the two iphones, we had a "situation" once where the contacts on her iPhone replaced the contacts on my iPhone. I'm sure that was related to the sync settings I had established (not a software error) but to avoid a similar episode in the future, we decided to use a second account on the computer.
    So... I discovered that if I drag music from the shared library to the iTunes library, she can then transfer the music to her phone. But that seems to create a second copy of the music on the computer and eats hard-disk space. Any way to drag directly from the shared library to the iPhone?
    Thanks and appreciative of your suggestions.

  • How to drag and drop from shared library to iphone/ipad?

    Since our Mac Pro has more storage, that's where I keep our iTunes videos, to avoid taking up space on my wife's laptop. Sharing the libraries works ok, except for one issue.
    When my wife wants to put movies onto her iPhone or iPad, iTunes won't let her drag and drop them directly from the shared library. She can copy them just fine to her local library and from there to the devices, but that is cumbersome and takes up disk space.
    Please don't tell me it isn't possible because we did have it working for some time, I just don't know what's changed. The devices are set to "manually manage", drag and drop works locally, just not from the share.
    Thanks!

    Take a look at this tutorial: [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html]How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.
    If you read it carefully and study the samples, I think you should get rid of your first question.
    Concerning the second question, you can overwrite the isCellEditable(int row, int column) method to return false. This will block any editing from the table.
    Hope this helped,

  • How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

    This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
    1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
    2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
    I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
    Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
    Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • Syncing movies (mp4) from iTunes to iPhones not working version 2.2

    Here is what I hope is the final answer to this incredibly prevalent problem, gleaned from a few PARTIAL answers, many USELESS answers, and some trial and error on my part.
    Problem:
    You are getting an error message when trying to sync MP4 movies to your iPhone using iTunes. (sorry I can't repeat the error message, I can't seem to restore the warning dialog that I turned off)
    Solution:
    Add the desired movie to the movies area of your iTunes application (you have already done this if you are receiving this error)
    From the list view, select (regular click to highlight) the desired movie.
    From the "Advanced" menu (NOT from right click as has been suggested many times), select "Create iPod or iPhone version"
    Now you will wait for a long time. A progress bar will show the conversion in process.
    When done, you will have two copies of the movies. One in the original location, and one in your iTunes movie folder. The newly created one will sync to your iPhone.
    To determine which is the new movie either
    1) Add "Date modified" to your list view by right clicking on the column headings in the movies list panel,
    - or -
    2) Right click on either of the lines and choose "Get Info" to view the name of the folder. Delete the one which is not the newly converted one. Hopefully this will only delete it from your movie list, not from your media. That's how it worked for me. If it asks if you want to move it to the recycle bin, you may have deleted the wrong one.
    After it is done, attach and select the iPhone device. Go to the video tab and scroll down to "movies". Check/uncheck the appropriate boxes for your movie(s) and hit "apply". Your movie(s) should now properly sync the phone.
    You do NOT need new software (for an MP4 movie)
    "Convert to iPhone" is NOT on the context menu
    Itunes will lock up for part of this process

    That didnt work, and there was no conversion bar. Ever since the new software update, my two iphones will not sync movies, and the older iphone will also not sync the music now. What is the point of having these?

  • Front row (with itunes 10) does not show moves from shared library

    I have two computers. My office computer contains all of my iTunes content, running iTunes 10. I have a mac mini connected to my television, and my intent is to use Front Row to access the shared library from the office computer. The problem is, when using front Row only a small number of my TV shows and none of my movies appear. I have checked the sharing settings on the source computer.

    Exact same problem here.
    It has been working fine doing this for years, then around a month ago after no changes to either machine that I know of, about half the content vanished when viewing a shared library.
    I seem to have also worsened the issue by trashing and rebuilding the iTunes library from scratch. Since at least before doing this I had some of my Movies and TV shows show, but not all, now I seem to have a tiny amount of movies and none of the TV shows listed.
    Checking on the source computer in front row shows all of them present as expected. Completely baffled by this. None of them are showing under odd sections (Say in Music rather than TV Shows) either so I know the meta-data isn't at fault.

  • HT1386 syncing using home shared library.

    I was trying to sync from my home shared library on a secondary laptop to an iPod and it would change the name of the file of some songs but not all.  Then I tried it from the primary PC where the songs are located and it did the same thing.  How do I stop it from doing this?  Thanks.

    Hello jmcole1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some of your TV Shows are not showing on your iOS devices after updating to the latest iOS version. I also understand that you have performed some great troubleshooting steps already. In this situation, just to make sure all suggested troubleshooting steps for this situation have been completed, I would suggest working through the information in the attached article.

  • High resolution movie over shared library

    Hi,
    my iTunes music folder is on a network server and the library file on my iMac. Now I want to play a movie from the iMac over shared library on my Mac mini. The movie is a 100% quality ripped DVD in MP4 with 3 audio layers (DD 2.0, DD 5.1, DTS 5.1) and has a bitrate of 18 mbits/s. When I start the movie from the Mac mini it loads the movie on and on but don't start it.
    Is it just because of the 100 mbit local network, or is there any regulation from iTunes. In what video quality (I want the full audio quality) can I rip the DVD to play it over the network?

    plaing the menu in every .swf file will increase the size of
    each file. the shared library file will be larger than it needs to
    be.
    Why not just make one .swf that only contains the just the
    menu. Then you could create a master file that loads the menu.swf
    at a high enough level that it is always on top. The other movies
    (webpages) could be loaded inbetween the master.swf, which you'd
    probably put on level 1, and the menu.swf. That way only the bare
    essentials would need to be stored in the shared library keeping
    its size as small as possible.

  • Is it possible to sync a home sharing playlist to iPhone / iPad?

    The issue:  My children each have PC laptops which they sync iPhones to, they each have a music collection on their own laptops.  I imported their playlist to my host machine and using Home Sharing I assumed I could sync their iPhones using their laptops to avoid having multiple music folders on each laptop and my host.  I would have thought that was part of the point of home sharing so I don't have to push music libraries to each computer when we get new music?  I am not wanting to have their devices to sync to my host machine as it's in my home office and I prefer not to have them in there on my computer all the time.
    Or am I going about this totally wrong? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi judATL,
    Unless I'm sorely mistaken, if you have your iCloud account set up on the new phone, and when you hook up that new phone to iTunes, if everything is set as I will indicate below, the phone should sync with iCloud automatically, and iCloud should push those contacts to your Mac. It will comingle your contacts with the ones on the new phone, because it will be Contacts in the same iCloud account. If that's OK with you, then do the following:
    1.     Make sure your iCloud ID is signed onto the new phone
    2.     Make sure that Contacts is checked to sync in the iCloud options on the phone - Settings>iCloud>Contacts (checked)
    3.      Go into iTunes on your Mac and select the option to Prevent Automatic Sync under Preferences>Devices:
    4.      Hook up the new phone to iTunes and click on the Device when it shows up (DON'T SYNC just yet).
    5.     Click on the Info Tab in the Device Profile, and make sure it says the following for Contacts (click on the image below to make it big enough to read - you may need to double-click):
    6.     Make sure both your other iPhone and your Mac have Contacts checked in iCloud
    Give it a little time for iCloud to retrieve and push the Contacts to your other phone and your Mac, and for it to retrieve and push your existing Contacts to your new phone. If it were me, I would wait for a couple of hours. Probably totally unnecessary to wait that long, but I don't like to make myself crazy by checking something every 2 seconds....
    Once you know the Contacts have been pushed to iCloud and your other devices and your Mac, you can then sync the new phone to your iTunes account. Be sure to set up the Profile pages as you want for this new phone before syncing. As Phil indicated, once you do the sync, everything will be replaced with what is in your iTunes library (with the exception, in this case, of Contacts, which is being sync'd via iCloud).
    Hope that helps! Post back with any questions!
    Cheers,

  • Why cannot iTunes sync movies from iPhoto taken with iPhone

    I take little movies with iPhone. (5Mb)
    iPhoto copies then to the Mac with the Photos.
    Movie plays in iPhoto.
    In iTunes I say Sync event and tick include videos on. The movies are not copied back to the iPhone.
    Checked in iPhoto, event says 18 items (17 are photos one is the movie MOV04391.MPG)
    In iTunes > Photos tab. the event only shows 17 items.
    Thanks in anticipation...

    Try launching iPhoto while holding Option, to create an alternate iPhoto library that you can test with. You can always switch back to the original iPhoto library launching iPhoto while holding Option again.
    If it works in the new test library, you'll probably want to switch back to the main library and then rebuild it by holding down the Command and Option keys when launching iPhoto.
    Also, when you email photos from the iPhone you should see an option to email as actual size, along with the compressed options.
    WTH.
