  • How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

    How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad?  Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this?  What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad.  HELP!

    The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
    If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
    If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

  • M4V Video files suddenly not working in itunes

    I have a couple hundred m4v video files (all created with handbrake) that have been working fine on itunes for ages. Did the upgrades last week for the latest itunes and ios 4.3 on my iphone 3GS and ipad 1 and airplay for the videos was all working fine. Suddenly this evening its all stopped. Within itunes I can't double click or right click play any of the files. Across airplay the devices bring up the movie format not supported error. Video files I have bought from Apple are still working fine though so I don't believe it to be a library/network issue. Has anyone experienced the same thing?
    I can't find anything after doing an internet search to help, apart from the fact that the files may be corrupted, but could they really all get corrupted instantly?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Just to clean this unresolved issue up, seemingly the problem disappeared after upgrading to iTunes 9.2.1 (5).
    Thanks!

  • How to move movies not downloaded from itunes to i pod

    ok i have some movies that i didnt buy from i tunes and i was wondering if any one knows how to move them to i tunes and then on to my i pod nano please help

    Sure. First thing is to simply try and drag and drop them into iTunes. If they are already in an iTunes compatible format (.AVI are not I believe) they will be added to your library.
    If they are not added, then they may need to be converted with a third party format converter of some sort.
    iLounge.com has TONS of articles and advice on third party applications that can do the job for you.
    If the video goes into iTunes ok, next thing to try is syncing it to the iPod. If that works, you are all set. If it does work and you get an error that it can't be synced, it may need to be "tweaked" in iTunes. Right click the video and pick the Convert for iPod selection. iPods have more narrowly defined requirements as to what sort of video they can play compared to iTunes and a computer. So just because it plays in iTunes, doesn't mean it will automatically work on the iPod. So this is why you sometimes have to use that command.
    Finally, if you convert MPEG files and get them onto your iPod and find they have no sound, that is another issue...
    If the videos are multiplexed MPEG files then the audio and the video are muxed onto the same track. QuickTime, and therefore any application that uses QT like iTunes, the iPod, iMovie (Mac app), etc. expect two separate tracks, one video and one audio. So when you play these muxed files, the video is played and the audio is not heard.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    So you need to do a conversion on the file first. MPEG Streamclip is a popular one that comes in both Mac and Windows versions and is known to "repair" this problem.
    Again, iLounge has lots of advice and article on converters you might try if MPEG Streamclip gives you problems.
    Good luck!

  • Putting music and video files that I purchased from iTunes onto the creative z

    For my birthday i got a itunes gift card and i bought music and video files with it but when i import it i cant find the music files in the folders they should be and the video need a directshow codec on the zen vision m so how do i put the codec on it and find all the purchased files?I need these files on my zen!

    Find that sadistic friend of yours who bought you the gift card and beat him into submission with a dead trout.
    Seriously, due to iTunes' file being locked with DRM and being in a format that is incompatible with the Zen, the only thing you could do is look for underground/illegal methods to remove the DRM and convert the file into unprotected MP3. Due to the illegality of the issue, I cannot provide instructions (that, and the fact that iTunes won't let me buy music from them because Malaysian money isn't good enough for them, therefore I haven't actually tried). But I can say that What-U-Hear is a pretty innovati've solution . Apart from that, Google is your friend.Message Edited by RAMChYLD on 09-02-2007:59 PM

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.

  • I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

    I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
    1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
    2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
    3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
    How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

  • ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

    I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

    I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
    I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.
