Syncing movies, ipad

I have synced movies on my ipad many times and now I notice that in the 'video' app only shared videos appear; none of the videos that I selected are synced.
Any ideas?

Further to my last note, I do the same with my iphone 5 and it works but not my iPad??

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

HT1657 if i want to watch a movie on my ipad do i have to order the movie from itunes from my ipad or can i download it from my desktop then sync my ipad

i want to watch a rented movie on my ipad while I am travelling. Do I have to download the movie from itunes from my ipad or do I access itunes from my desktop then just sync my ipad to watch the movie on my ipad?

Yes that is correct. However there is one slight difference with rented content, in that you need to transfer it to your iPad rather than simply sync. You can do this by selecting the rental in iTunes from the left hand side of the iTunes window and choosing the transfer option.
Yes it will be transferred to the video app on your iPad.

Itunes no longer syncs movies to my ipad

I recently got tired of apps crashing on my ipad so I took it to the store and they wound up giving me a replacement. My music and apps sync to this replacement, no problem; but none of my movies will. These are the same movies that I had on my old ipad with no issues. I’ve tried telling itunes to sync all my movies, and I’ve told it to sync the selected ones and then selected them all, but nothing works.
Any suggestions? I'm using itunes 9.2.1.5. Kindly refrain from suggestion I upgrade to itunes 10; I already tried that route and it stopped syncing podcasts to my ipod, and I’ve no interest in “upgrading” to a new version that doesn’t work as well as the old one...
Thanks!

Tells me that it's already authorized.
I deauthorized it and authorized it again, just for he heck of it... no effect...
Which menu should I be selecting "Movies" from? The menus I have are FILE, EDIT, VIEW, CONTROLS, STORE, ADVANCED, and HELP... none of them seem to have a MOVIES option...
I can click on the ipad under DEVICES on the left side of the screen, and there's a movies tab there. Like I said in my original post, I've already selected that the movies should be synced, just like on my last ipad. Clicking SYNC on the lower right will make it sync the ipad again, but it still isn't syncing my movies...

Cannot sync movies on Ipad

Folks,
Is anyone having issues syncing movies on the ipad. I have tried all options and my entire movie library refuses to move over to the iPAD. Is this a known bug or something that apple needs to fix. All my movies are syncing with my iphone and Apple TV without any issues.
Regards

I run into this same problem on occasion. For some reason iTunes thinks a movie isn't compatible with the iPad even though the movie IS compatible. Instead of letting the user override this and allow the movie to sync, Apple in their new "big brother" mode simply won't let you even try to play the file. Grrrrr....
However, if you know the movie format is fine (or just want to try it), you can add the movie to the iPad using Air Sharing HD (their may be other software which performs this same function). You can then play the movie directly in that app. Unfortunately, Air Sharing HD does not remember your location, so if you stop playing in the middle you will have to find your place again manually. This has allowed me to play a number of movies which are properly encoded but which iTunes refuses to sync to my iPad.
Hope that helps!

Syncing movies on iPad 2

Why is it that when I add a new movie to my itunes account and then sync my iPad, the iPad syncs every movie that was already on it as well as the new one?
I only have the "Sync Movies" and "Includes iTunes Extras" checked.

The problem is not with the conversion of the movie itself. The movie itself after being converted to the proper format works perfectly on the iPad 2. The problem is with the artwork associated with a particular movie. The only thing "custom" that I am referring to is the artwork which can be anything, any picture. When I am on the home screen on iPad I click the Videos app. The picture of all available movies on my iPad come up. Lets say there are 3 movies, all different (e.g. Batman, Ironman, and Superman). The artwork for all three movies will be the same. (i.e. Batman will have Ironman's cover art as will Superman. So it appears as if there are 3 Ironman movies all the same.) However when you click on the movie the artwork reverts back to the proper movie artwork. (i.e. Batman has Ironman artwork until I click on it, if you have used an iPad you know the next screen is an info screen with larger artwork. That artwork in that screen reverts back to the proper artwork for that particular movie. Batman previously showing Ironman artwork now has Batman artwork. If I hit back to go back to the main Videos app screen it reverts again back to the incorrect Ironman artwork for Batman's movie.) This is my problem. I've talked to some others and they have told me they have the same problem with Music artwork. How do I fix this problem? Again conversion is a non-issue, it has nothing to do with my artwork problem.

I want to load movies in to my iPad through itune in my pc that runs window XP. First of all I am not able to add the movies to the itune ,leave aside sync to iPad .can some one suggest what is the simplest way to load movies in my iPad.

I have plenty of DVD which I load in my laptop and watch the movies while travel, however I am not able to do that in my iPad .
I would appreciate some one guide me the simplest way of loading the movies in to my iPad. I tried the conventional procedure of loading/copying in to itune then sync to the iPad to load all movies in it, but failed to do the first step( not able to load /copy in itune) leave aside the sync to iPad next.
Do I need to sellout some 20 odd $ to buy a conversion software that would help?
Is it that Apple trying to make money by not making this simplest of thing possible by the user.( ref. windows, every thing is possible with little IQ of the user).
If it is so , I would stop many of my friends to restrain from buying a device like this by spending some 1000$ ,rather look at a good Droid that is catching up so well.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

Problems syncing movie to iPad

I purchased and downloaded a movie onto my MacBook Air, now it will not sync and put the movie on my iPad, says this computer is not authorized. I've tried to restart both devices, same message. Any advice?

It is the same Air I use for all my purchases, and I sync the iPad to it several times a week. I've synced a gazillion other items -- songs, videos, movies -- with no problem. Everything is logged into the same account, and I double-checked the computer to make sure that it was authorized.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Movie and TV thumbnails disappear when sync to Ipad

Whenever I sync my Ipad to my Itunes on my MBP to add a movie or tv show to the Ipad, the rest of my movies and TV shows on my Ipad lose the thumbnails to the tv show or movies. Only way to get them back is to delete the show and movies and redownload them. This is VERY frustrating. Is there a better solution that someone knows about?
Thanks
Bryan

I don't use this feature and I'm not sure this is the reason - but do you have restrictions enabled on the devices? If so, I don't know if they will sync from iTunes. You can try turning it off it you have it enabled. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and turn it off and then try to sync the movies.
The other generic fixes would be to restart both of your iDevices and then maybe try a reset - hold down on the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. See if they will sync then.

Can't sync movies to iPad; can't share movies on network

On the iPad (with retina display), when trying to watch movies shared from iTunes, after selecting the shared library, the circle spins for a while until failing with "Unable to turn on Home Sharing". This started happening a lot recently, but I figured it wasn't that bad....I can just sync a few movies to the iPad, no problem, right? WRONG!!!! I cannot sync movies to the iPad either. iTunes just acts like it is doing something, then after a while it just stops acting like it's doing anything. The movies never sync. Also, if I deselct movies that are already there, they still do NOT get removed from the iPad.
You might ask how I got the movies there in the first place. This happened once already and I reset the iPad. I was able to watch one movie in my shared library before getting the "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", and I was able to sync 4 movies. That was it though, and all attempts to watch shared movies or to sync movies now fail. Funny thing is that when I reset the iPad I lost a lot of custom settings. I only got movies on it for a day biut I've been configuring my erased settings for a week. I have reset my account info for home sharing in the iPad multiple times. I have reset the iPad. As I said, resetting worked for a day or two.
Any ideas?
Gary

Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards - the supported profiles are listed on the this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
iOS 5 and the iCloud allow more to be done wirelessly

I want to sync my movies from iTunes onto my iPad, but when i try, it says it needs to "erase and sync" my iPad. If i erase and sync, will it delete my apps, photoa, and videos?

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

Sync movies with iPad mistaken as sync apps (and prompt to remove apps)

Hi,
I'm trying to sync some movies selectively (checked Sync Movies, unchecked Automatically include) from iTunes to my iPad and iTunes seems to be mistaken that I want to sync apps (I have Sync Apps unchecked) and prompt my if I 'want to remove xx appplications, including ... , from the iPad'.
Is anyone seeing this too (iTunes 9.1.1 (12) on OSX 10.6.3, iPad 3G) ?

It's working exactly as it's supposed to.
If you uncheck *Sync Apps*, it will remove all apps since Sync Apps tells iTunes what to put (and keep) on the iPad.
